Seducing My Heartless Husband

” We are gathered here today to celebrate the holy Union between two souls who have made the decision to journey their life together.” The priest announced.

Dimitri turned to look at his bride who was looking all beautiful in white.

He could still not believe that today he would be marrying his Goddess.

He was the happiest man on earth today.

” If there is anyone amongst us who opposes this holy matrimony should raise their hands or forever hold their peace.”

Silence followed the priest’s words, nobody made a sound.

” If that’s settled then we shall commence with the wedding.” The priest announced.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After reading a verse from the Bible and explaining the church’s expectations to the two lovers, it was time to exchange wedding rings.

” I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and dedication to you. It also stands for my unwithering devotion to you. From today onwards, Martina Santos, you will be bound to me in holy matrimony. I vow to love, cherish and protect you. In times of sadness and happiness, in riches and in poverty, in good health and sickness, I shall protect our marriage and respect me, my God be my witness.” Dimitri said before sliding a ring to Martina’s ring finger.

” Dimitri, your presence in my life has been a blessing. With this ring, I swear to have my eyes on you always, never to falter. I promise to love and cherish you for as long as I live.” Martina vowed, sliding a ring on Dimitri’s finger.

The audience clapped and cheered happily.

” With the powers given to me by the church and this country, I pronounce you husband and wife.” The priest announced.

” You may now kiss the bride.” He added and Dimitri did not waste his time claiming her lips as the crowd cheered.

” I can’t believe the first marriage we attend is Martina’s.” Terry said to Marina.

The two of them were the flower girls who escorted Marina to the isle.

” She is glowing, I think my sister is pregnant.” Marina commented and that earned a giggle from Terry.

” That’s even better. She gets to have a husband and a baby. I’m going to be a godmother soon.” Terry announced excitedly.

” Why don’t we try to make our own babies darling?” Ronald said, his eyes going straight around Terry’s waist.

” That would be a great Idea.” Terry replied, turning to kiss the man.

” Eeew that’s gross!” Marina, who was forced to eat dog food, commented.

” Why don’t you go to your fiance? He must be lonely.” Ronald shot, pointing at Lucas who was sipping on a glass of wine as he sat alone.

Marina rolled her eyes before walking away Intending to say goodbye to her sister who was flying away with Dimitri for their honeymoon.

The man had finally agreed to register their marriage and they got married a month ago yet even after moving together, they slept in different rooms.

The man made zero advances on her. He treated her like she didn’t exist.

As a woman, his treatment bruised her ego but she would not force herself on him.

Marina had even gone as far as seducing him thinking that he would give in to her advances but nothing happened.

She got frustrated and started treating him coldly.

She had even suspected that he was seeing someone else behind her back but even after shamelessly stalking him for weeks, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

It was either that or he was good at hiding his tracks.

She already gave up and decided to concentrate her attention on her father’s company.

She had taken over the family business and Martina was managing her law firm.

Marina had completely cut ties with Shadow after Martina convinced him.

Pulling her dress which had a trail behind, she walked to Martina who was standing besides the already waiting car.

” I guess it’s until a month later I’ll see you?” Marina asked, a fake smile plastered on her face.

Martina said nothing, she just nodded as she regarded her sister.

” Well then sister, travel safely. Don’t forget to call and send me pictures.” She added, moving to hug Martina before turning to walk away.

” Sister.” Martina called successfully, halting Marina who did not dare turn around to face her sister.

She did not want to be seen by her sister crying. It was her sister’s happy day, she could not curse them with her traitorous tears.

” If you are not happy with him, don’t push yourself. Take a break and figure out if you still want to continue with the marriage.”

Martina walked to her, stuffing a plane ticket into her sister’s hands.

” Wipe those tears and put on a smile. My sister is strong and I am sure you will figure things out.” Martina added before walking away.

Marina walked to her car, ripping off the trail of her dress before dumping it in a dustbin.

She got to her car and drove away without looking back.

The tears she had fought hard to restrain flowed down her cheeks.

She felt unwanted and unlucky but it was her who chose the man to marry, she could only blame her poor choice.

Marina drove to a club in town.

She didn’t care that it was still afternoon and the club was not even officially open.

She sat at a corner and ordered drinks.

The waiter was adamant at first but seeing her state, he changed his mind. He had seen many of them, coming to drown their sorrows to at least escape reality.

However he did not forget to remind her to take it easy because a bottle of Scotch was enough to knock a man out, talk less of a woman.

Marina was halfway through her drink when Lucas approached her.

” What are you doing here?” She asked, her tone cold.

He was the last creature she wanted to see.

” Coming to take my wife home.” Lucas replied as a matter of fact.

” Wife?” Marina scoffed.

” Have you ever treated me as a wife? Get lost and leave me alone.” Marina replied, her eyes glaring daggers at him.

” I will treat you as my wife tonight. Let’s consummate our marriage.” Lucas declared and without giving her a chance to reply, he slammed his lips to hers.

That evening, Lucas let go of his reservation and poured his heart and vulnerability to Marina as they became one.

” Please let it be real this time. I don’t want to be hurt again.” Marina heard him murmur but she was too spent to even ask him what he meant.
