SWNOVELS Chapter 1
Chapter 1 Flash Marriage
“Brent, give it to me in front of her! Let me believe that you only love me!”
Lilian Moore had a bit too much to drink at her bachelorette party, so her fiancé brought her back to their apartment. But when she woke up with a splitting headache and opened her eyes in the dim light, she saw a man and woman passionately kissing by her bedside and heard an unbearable phrase,
Lilian was struck as if by lightning, staring blankly as the two kissed wildly beside her bed. Her anger erupted instantly.
“Hillary, stop it. Lilian just fell asleep!” The man restrained himself while rubbing the woman’s waist.
“What? Are you afraid your fiancée will wake up?” Hillary asked resentfully. “You’re getting married tomorrow. Give yourself to me tonight!”
“Baby, don’t be silly. Let’s go to another room,” the man seduced charmingly.
“No! I want it here! Right in front of her!” Hillary quickly unbuttoned the man’s shirt and they began kissing again. “You know I’m the one who loves you most. What right does an outdated slut like Lilian have standing next to you?”
Tears streamed down Lilian’s face as she endured silently until she heard passionate moans coming from the bathroom after they left for there together.
She never imagined that on this night before their wedding registration day, Brent would bring his mistress into their bedroom for an affair.
Come on baby, let’s go take a bath together since you love bathtubs so much.”
“You go ahead and run some water first. Hillary pushed against his chest then walked over towards Lilian with a cold sneer on her face: “Lilian, I won’t let Brent have any chance of registering marriage with you tomorrow because I’m pregnant with his child now! He’s mine! By the way, I really have to thank you for helping me cultivate him so well!”
Lilian clenched her fists tightly and held back from making a sound until she felt completely shattered. Three years ago, she was Los Angeles top model but gave up everything for this man. Later on, Hillary became the new top model.
Lilian tried hard to deceive herself but when it came to midnight, Hillary clung onto Brent with discomfort and left the hotel room while Brent coldly abandoned Lilian!
But they were supposed to register their marriage tomorrow!
The night of unbearable pain passed by and early next morning, Lilian drove as planned to the registration office then called Brent after getting out of her car only to hear his icy response: “Hillary got injured on stage. I need to handle important matters first. We’ll register another day.”
“But… our wedding is also very important.”
“Lilian, you’ve always been sensible. Don’t bother me about this matter anymore.”
Ha! She had never noticed his true colors before.
So there would be no other day! Despair filled Lilian’s heart.
As she turned around wearing sunglasses readying herself to leave, a tall figure walked towards her head–on this man… His imposing presence was too strong like that of a noble emperor in medieval times. Especially when he approached closer; even though he wore sunglasses himself which covered most of his face in shadow causing people almost suffocate.Lilian recognized this man, he was Kevin Alexander, the heir of Century Studios. They had met briefly at a ball when she was still famous. He’s getting married today too?
“Mr. Alexander, Miss Randall is not here on time…she’s ten minutes late!” his assistant said respectfully behind him.
“Tell the Randall family that anyone who is late for their own wedding should never bother coming,” the man said coldly.
“But Chairman said you must get married today and he doesn’t even object to marrying a transvestite…” The assistant spoke timidly.
“Pick any socialite within half an hour from now.” The man spoke briskly, appearing somewhat unfeeling.
It turned out that they were in similar situations but different in some ways. Kevin owned an entertainment empire and could have anyone he wanted easily. As a wealthy heir, love was the last thing he needed; all he needed to do was deal with arranged marriages set up by his elders.
Suddenly Lilian had an idea and took off her sunglasses as she walked up to him saying softly: “Mr. Alexander, your bride isn’t here yet and my groom has run away…why don’t we try getting married?”
The assistant behind Kevin froze; no woman had ever been so bold…
But Lilian stood tall because she summoned all her courage.
Kevin took off his sunglasses revealing dark eyes with pupils like diamonds emitting sharp light rays but after a momentary pause, he turned around asking his assistant: “Give me her information!”
Of course the assistant knew who Lilian was and immediately searched for her name on his phone before presenting it respectfully moments later. Two minutes later, thin lips parted slightly as Kevin uttered just one word to her: “Good!”
Lilian felt lucky to have met Kevin because unlike other men who used women or sought love or lacked bed partners things which were unnecessary for someone like him all she needed was to pay the price for Brent’s betrayal!
The two of them quickly completed their marriage formalities and within half an hour, Lilian received her marriage certificate. From then on, she became a married
woman.
“Mr. Alexander, do you have time to listen to me?” Lilian asked nervously as they got into the Rolls–Royce after him putting his sunglasses back on.
Following Kevin closely from behind, she continued: “Thank you for marrying me. I will cooperate with anything you need me to do unconditionally but there are two things I hope you can promise me.”
“Speak!” Kevin said wearily loosening his collar.
Firstly, if it is not absolutely necessary, our marital relationship should not be made public. Secondly, please don’t interfere in my private affairs; rest assured that since we’re already married now, I won’t have any inappropriate contact with other men.”
After hearing Lilian’s words, Kevin slightly raised the corners of his mouth emitting a dangerous aura inside the car: “I promise you but give yourself some time to sort out your messy past before trying out this trial marriage with me…in six months time…I’ll make our wedding news public.”
“Thank you!” Lilian nodded her head.
“And also…I don’t approve of couples living apart! You have three days to move into my designated location and my assistant will contact you later!”
Lilian didn’t object because it was reasonable given their status as husband and wife so she obediently nodded saying: “I promise!”
“That’s good!”
After making these verbal agreements between them both and turning around readying herself to leave Kevin’s car again moments later – just as she started driving
–
away she heard him speak up once more: “Although I shouldn’t ask this question…but I want an answer; did your original groom not show up?
Lilian frowned unsure how best to respond.
Kevin didn’t press her for an answer but simply said: ‘Abandoned and yet you’re still so good–natured?”
This time, Lilian’s lips curved upwards revealing a look of madness mixed with hatred as she spoke: “That’s why…I’m going to make them pay back a hundredfold!“
