Esther's POV

My mom and Jordan eventually found out about everything, (well yeah obviously) and the approved of it. Throughout the preparations, Terrance had completely ignored me.

But I wondered why he would he would want to marry me. I mean, I make him miserable so why would he want to marry me?

I was now stepping I to a long life relationship, even though love would never prevail. I promised my self I would make this marriage work.

I was supposed to be angry, and lash out at Terrance but I'm not. My dad abandoned me, making me push for a job as a maid. This job too comprised of a quick tempered boss who I must say, I tear his nerves.

To make things more confusing, he wanted to marry me.

My heart was rising with anxiety as I looked  down at the bouquet of flowers in my hand through my veil. They were rustling because my hands were shivering as my arm was interlocked with Jordans'

We walked on the aisle elegantly till we reached the alter where my husband-to-be has his expressionless look on.

I faced him when after Jordan let go of me and passed I passed a smile to Terrance.

Terrance responded my smile with a glare as the priest started rambling all that.

"Terrance Douglas do you take Esther Mara to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer till death you part?" He inquired.

"I do." Terrance said lowly but everyone heard.

"Esther, do you-"

"Yeah, yeah, I do." I answered and everyone laughed (except Terrance).

"Does anyone have an objection to this marriage?" He asked the congregation. "If no, then forever hold your peace."
We then exchanged rings.

"You may now kiss the bride." My heart started to race as Terrance removed my veil and leaned down to me.

Oh my God! We were going to kiss! My first Kiss! And Terrance's gonna have it!

"What the hell?!" I screamed when Terrance pulled away. Ok ok, I didn't scream out loud, I just shouted in my mind because Terrance didn't kiss me. I just felt his his breath on my lips.

After the ceremony, we ambled to the reception hall to cut our cake. The cake was brought before us and Terrance held my hand.

Tingles rushed through me as we slid the cake with the knife. People cheered as the cake was dished out and I faced Terrance and looked up to him.

I brought a piece of cake to his face and it was like a kid before an alligator at the zoo. Because people were walking us like the sky, he slowly opened his mouth and the cake went in.

"Can you put some in my mouth as well? " I asked sheepishly. He groaned but nevertheless, he fed me and after that, it was dancing time.

Silas approached the two of us as the rest were chatting.

"Hey sweet cheeks, shall we dance?" He requested and Terrance growled.

"Hell yes!" I giggled he held my hand as went went onto the dace floor.

"I hope we're not going to dance those slow motion songs?" I asked.

The dance floor cleared as we stood there waiting for our requested song to play.

"Ready?" He asked.

"I was born ready." And our song played.

We danced to the tune of the song and the other joined us and I glanced at Terrance. I rolled my eyes, rushed to him, grabbed his arm and dragged him onto the dace floor.

"What the fuck? Let go of me!" He said.

"Come on just dance." I whined pouting.

Thanks to my two amazing friends, the dance floor cleared and I and Terrance stood there alone as our song played. It was "Thinking Out Loud" by 'Ed- Sheeran.'

"See what you've done." He gritted before firming around my waist and intertwined his fingers with mine and bore his eyes into mine. I was fully aware of the way he held me, judging by how fuzzy I felt and how his pale green eyes bored into mine.

"I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe it's all part of a plan

I'll just keep on making the same mistakes

Hoping that you'll understand

But baby now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are, oh

So baby now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are

Oh maybe we found love right where we are

And we found love right where we are."

The lights on the dance floor dimmed making our views barely clear. He glanced at my lips and I bit and licked it, wondering he would do next. He bent his face to mine and I felt his breath on my lips.

"Fuck." He cursed when the light came on because the song was over. We pulled away and they applauded as we moved to sit on our swing seat.

I scooted close to close to Terrance and laid my head on his arm.

"Get off me." He gritted.

"Push me." I dared and he groaned.

***

"Esther, Hurry the fuck up, we have to go." Terrance groaned when I was engrossed in a conversation with Nina and Jamila.

"I'm almost done." I said. I had a lot to tell them but Terrance wouldn't understand. Night had fallen, and cars had left. We were in the parking lot so I was chatting heartily with them.

The next thing I knew, Terrance carried me and threw me over his shoulder as I folded my arms and pouted as he led me to the car. He put me in and sat by me as the chauffeur drove.

"You could have just let me finish."

"You could have at least shut the fuck up."

"You like telling me to shut." I pointed out.

"You like telling me to tell you to shut up." He said and I scrunched my face.

The rest of the drive was in silence till we got home. He quickly exited the car and rushed inside.

"Jerk." I grumbled pulling out the rest of my weeding dress. I sauntered inside the house and walked straight into our room.

"Stupid fucking wedding." He muttered taking his shoes off.

"You know, you could have stopped it from happening." I reasoned taking my jewelries off. I took my Pj's from my suitcase my mom had packed a day I trekked into the bathroom to bath.

When I finished, I came out and Terrance pushed past me to enter. I rolled my eyes and went downstairs to the kitchen. Upon all the food I ate, I still felt hungry so I took out some lasagna from the fridge, warmed it in the oven and ate it.

I was married now, and as a wife, I had every right to be with my husband, I won't just let us be a couple who just ignore each other.

I'm gonna make him treat me like him wife, because I am his wife. We may never find love in this marriage, but I wasn't going to let us treat each other like foes.

After cleaning up, I went to our room.

"We are sleeping in separate rooms, so go to yours." He growled.

"No way, I'm your wife, so I sleep here." I said stiffly.

"Well sleep on the couch." He said and I shook my head.

"Then I'll sleep on the couch." He announced and when he moved, I gripped his arm.

"No, you're sleeping on the bed," I countered seriously looking up to him. He jerked his arm from my hold and narrowed his eyes down at me.

"I won't share the same bed with you." He informed and moved to lay in the couch. Ok. Good Night.

I stayed up for a few hours and when I was assured he was really asleep, I got, up moved closer to him and laid on top of him with my head on his chest.
