Mr Devil

"Will you marry me?"

Jasmine walked to a man standing in the corridor.

Her lips parted in a soft gasp as he turned to her.

His dark blue eyes stared at her in a dark, ominous way, her eyes tailed his body down, and he was down to earth.

"This would do just fine." She mumbled in fear, my eyes flickering.

The man looked across the corridors, but the next man was far away from him.

"Me?" He pointed at his nose. "Are you referring to me?"

His brows narrowed followed by a chuckled after Jasmine nodded.

"A stranger?" He scoffed, his warm breath hit her face. "You go around marrying strangers?"

"It's a marriage of convenience. We will go our separate ways after that."

The man tilted his head slightly, barely giving it a thought.

"I'm Damon, and you're mine now."

Two hours ago, Jasmine had dreamt of a beautiful and happy life with her fiancé, Stefan, but things changed.

The wedding guests fidgeted in their seats, waiting for the arrival of the groom. The door opened, but to their surprise, it was the bride. The groom was supposed to be at the altar before now.

Jasmine's heart palpitated, her greatest fear was becoming a reality right in front of her eyes and she couldn't control it.

"Where is Stefan?" Jasmine whispered to her friend, Cecilia, who was beside her as she forced a smile and walked up the aisle.

"I have no idea, he was supposed to be here."

The two ladies faces marred with worry.

"He would be here soon." Jasmine convinced herself as she stood at the altar alone, her eyes fixated at the door.

The door opened, caught the attention of all, and it was indeed Stefan who was obviously not dressed for the wedding.

"What are you doing, Stefan? You should be ready." She tried to whisper to him while staying calm as he walked up to her.

"Get ready for what? Marry you?" He burst out in a loud, hilarious laugh and looked at her. "Nobody will ever marry a person like you, besides, my work here is done."

A gasp rippled through the crowd, disappearing into the air as the guests turned to each other in disbelief.

Jasmine's heart was shattered into a million pieces as she tried to comprehend what was going on.

"Is this a prank?" A flicker of hope that it is beamed in her eyes.

Shaking his heart slightly, Stefan walked out of the church, leaving everyone amused except for Jasmine, who was heartbreak.

There, she made a choice. One that she would regret all her life.

Jasmine ran into the corridor and found a stranger to marry her.

"Do you, Damon Forbes, take Jasmine Stones as your lawfully wedded wife?" The pastor asked.

Jasmine's eyes found Damon's, scared of being betrayed by this stranger she was about to get married to, she prayed silently.

"Yes, I do."

A feeling of relief swept through Jasmine's body.

"Do you Jasmine Stones take Damon Forbes as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

And that was it, their fate was sealed together for a year.
