Married To A Powerful Domineering Billionaire

Chapter 13: Reception Ball



Reception Ball

RAYNE’S POV

When we exchanged our vows and rings, the priest pronounced us husband and wife.

“You may kiss your bride.” He said and Eric started toward me, for a moment, I thought he was going to kiss me, because why not? I had become his wife, but instead, he kissed my forehead. I stared blankly at him when he pulled away and he smiled at me.

ERIC’s POV

I could see the confusion in her eyes but I couldn’t tell what the reason was for it.

When the process had been concluded, Rayne’s cousin came along and stole her away and I was left to speak with some acquaintances.

When we were done, I walked Rayne to the car. We had our marriage reception to meet up with. I hadn’t told Rayne about the reception yet so as I walked her into the car, I told her.

“We’d be going to my family’s from here.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

She turned to me, shock written all over her face. She opened her mouth to say something but then she shut it back and just nodded.

“Elaina would stay with us for a few days until you get comfortable at the house,” I told her when I noticed her eyelids shaking constantly. She looked at me again, but this time with surprise in her eyes, then she nodded and then turned her gaze out of the window.

I glanced at her face and I couldn’t help but fix my gaze on her. I sighed at the stupid urge to touch her. Heaven! I could barely understand myself at the moment. I couldn’t believe that I had just gotten married. Ever since the little woman came into my life, I’ve not been stupid acting on foolish instinct. First I had engaged her in her sleep, then I got her to stay at my house. I had never bought any woman there, except her. And today, I was getting married. I had never envisioned myself in a black wedding suit, getting married, and that too, to a woman who could barely even carry my weight. Yet here I was riding a woman I barely even knew to introduce to my family. Guess spending quality time with Grand Mrs. Arnold had already corrupted me more than I had thought.

RAYNE’S POV

His driver pulled into a long driveway decorated with flowers of various kinds, and the gate at the end of the driveway opened instantly and the driver drove into what looked like a Villa.

I opened the car and tried to get down from the car, but my dress would let me. It had been stuck to the car from sitting too close to the door.

“Do you want me to carry you inside?” A familiar voice asked. I looked up and saw Eric standing right in front of me with the usual smirk on his face. I shook my head in the negative and went on trying to get my dress unstuck.

“Let me help with that.” He said and before I could refuse or agree, he leaned into me, slid his both arms around my waist, and started to carefully untangle the part of the dress that had been stuck to the ground. At his proximity, I instantly forgot how to breathe.

“Done!” He said after a few seconds and started to get off me. I also made to get up and catch a little air, but then he suddenly leaned back into me and our lips brushed against each other. My eyes widened in shock.

ERIC’s POV

My entire body heated up at once at feeling her lips against mine. They were warm and gentle and the feeling of them in mine rouses my desires. The desire to kiss her, to delve deep into that little mouth and kiss her until she moaned my name. The desire to undo that dress she had on and to do things to her little body. The desire to watch her unclad again. That desire to have her small body beneath me just as she had been that night, but, I restrained myself from doing so. I didn’t want her getting all scared of me. I finally pulled away after giving in my best at restraint. Her cheeks had gone red and she looked like an over-ripened tomato. She looked cute.

“Let’s go inside.”

RAYNE’S POV

“Let’s go inside.” He said, offering me one of my hands. With my head bowed slightly in shame, I took it and he walked me.

As we walked into the Villa, I couldn’t help but admire its beauty. Its land mass was so huge and the entire place looked colorful. It was just like a Cathedral adorned with flowers. The side pool was an attraction and a pathway by the right which was decorated with flowers of various colors made me imagine things. I wondered what that place was. I would have asked if it were my business. I could stare at this place all day.

But, something else caught my attention. There were fleets of cars parked almost everywhere, although neatly. Didn’t he say we were meeting with his family? I couldn’t help but wonder how huge this family of his was. The thought of it tripled my nervousness.

We climbed up a small stairway and the doormen bowed on seeing us, Eric to be precise. Then he opened the double Italian-style doors and my mouth fell open at the sight in front of me.

The grand room was filled with a number of people, men and women alike. It didn’t look like a family meet up, more like a ball. I suddenly felt nauseous, and I found myself clutching onto Eric’s hand for support.

ERIC’s POV

I felt Rayne’s grip tighten on my arm and I was alarmed. I turned to the little woman and saw her eyes bulging wide.

“Are you okay?” I asked her and she nodded. That was a lie, a bad one at that.
