Chapter 441: The Audacity

Olivia stared down at the picture in her hand and then the marriage certificate. The audacity! The sheer, brazen audacity of that man to flash a grin as though this marriage was anything a travesty. As if she hadn’t been coerced into this charade by his cunningness and threats. And to add insult to injury, he had to look devilishly handsome while doing it.

She hadn’t missed the way the staff at the Civil affairs bureau had been glaring at her with jealousy. Their envious stares, questioning why such a man would choose her and dote over her. How had she never known that Seb Frost could give an Oscar winning performance of a doting and caring lover.

And he’d maintained the entire facade at the hospital, charming the doctors and the nurses.He’d even aksed the doctor if they could continue to have physical relationship like they did after confirming her pregnancy! Did he really think she was going to sleep with him after everything he had done? He was overly optimistic then! She should have punched him in the face right there when the doctor had laughed and given him permission to enjoy their ’married’ life as long as he was careful!

And that wasn’t enough for him that he had brought her here... wherever this was. Where was even this foresaken place? How could she have been so foolish to have fallen asleep when they left the hospital.

She knew of course it was not really foolishness but sheer exhaustion from the events of the day, but to not even realize that she’d been moved from a car to a helicopter, was astounding. She only woke up when the helicopter’s wind hit her face as Seb carried her out.

Standing up, she walked to the window of this huge ’home’. At least she now knew they were on some island. But she’d woken up dazed. And while she had been thinking of talking to him all the time, they ended up having an argument.

Confused, she’d looked around," Where are we? What is this place?"

"It’s my vacation home. Since we are on our honeymoon, I thought we could use some time away from everything, just the two of us."

What a joke! "Hello? Seb?Just the two of us? Do you think this is a normal marriage?" she’d asked shocked. "Are you on some kind of delusion inducing dru*s? Have you already forgotten that you forced me into the marriage and this is not..."

"It is a normal marriage to me. And it would be better if you accept this fact at the soonest as well for the future of our unborn child."

And then, before she could argue more, he’d carted her into this large place and announced, " I have some things to finish off before we can continue our honeymoon . You can rest until then. The food has been laid out and there are clothes for you in the master bedroom on the first floor.. I’ll try to return as soon as possible. If you need anything, just pick up the landline phone in the kitchen, you’ll be connected to the local security. As for your things, they are being shifted to my place even now."

"No! How can you do things without my..."

Before she could have said more, he was leaning down and kissing her, taking possession of her mouth as if he owned it, owned her. And then, he was leaving, throwing the words, "Wait for me," behind his back.

Olivia shook her head. Did he really think that she was going to be a good little wife and wait for him to return for their wedding night! Oh god! it was their wedding night!

Hurriedly, she looked around the ’master’ bedroom and spotted the closet, which apparently contained all the clothes she might need.

Decisively, she walked to the room’s door and turned the lock! He wanted a wedding night! Well he could have one... with himself!

And then, she walked to the closet. The display inside had her frown. She knew of course that he had many girlfriends over the years. He’d probably brough them here for holidays but did he have to rub that in her face. She looked at the various garments of different designs and sizes... He did not even discriminate, it seemed. There was clothing for even curvaceous women...

The thought of wearing something that another woman had worn to make love with him, made her feel nauseous. Caefully, she looked for clothing that would be more to her taste and maybe not been worn by someone else to seduce him.

Finally,she found a tshirt and boxer shorts and was even happier when she realized that they had their tags on. Now she could get fresh and not worry about seeing Seb again. Maybe he would realize by morning what a mistake he had made due to being blinded by his anger. Then they could get a quick divorce and handle this matter properly!

As she stepped into the bathroom, her eyes widened at the sight of the luxurious, oversized bathtub positioned in the center of the room. Its inviting allure beckoned to her, tempting her with the promise of relaxation and solitude. Feeling extremely mischievuous, she rubbed her hands as she placed her clothing on the side. Goodbye shower! She would indulge herself with a bath!

Quickly, she prepared the bath and got rid of her ’wedding’ dress. Beautiful though it was, she hated wearing it. It was too perfect and suited for her...as if she’d chosen it herself.

As the water began to fill the tub, she sank down into the soothing warmth, letting out a contented sigh as the fragrant bubbles enveloped her. The tension in her muscles gradually melted away, replaced by a sense of tranquility, making her feel sleepy again.

However, that was shortlived. Just as she leaned her head back against the edge of the tub, reveling in the moment of peace, she heard the unmistakable sound of the helicopter returning. Seb Frost had returned for his wedding night...
