Married To My Haphephobia Husband

MARRIED TO MY STRANGER

EXOTIC LUST

ONE: THE WEDDING PARTY

Walking down the aisle felt like the greatest thing Mia Dante had ever done, she was seething with anger.

She took one step at a time and lifted her head to the crowd before her, her mother Mrs Dante was giving her a bright smile while her father just sat beside her, his arms folded, and his expression was blank.

They were both seated with the groom's parents at a large table at the right corner of the hall.

The hall was exotic with soft lighting, and elegant chandeliers.

The hall is adorned with flowers, drapes, and sophisticated details.

Mia Dante and Lorenzo Alessandro were designed into different posters and adorned on each table.

"Why will they spend so much on a fake wedding?" Mia wondered, her questions were answered as she spotted paparazzi. Dozens of them at the end corner of the room, their cameras flashing at every scene.

She forced a dazzling smile. A picture-perfect bride walking into a nightmare.

Fake smiles. Fake love. Fake marriage.

I have a feeling she'll behave well, " Mrs Alessandro, Mia's mother-in-law, remarked.

Mrs Dante rolled her eyes.

" Of course. She was trained well, I just hope she's treated well " Mrs Dante said in the most polite manner she could use, she was boiling inside, she hoped her husband could give their daughter the choice to choose her life partner.

She couldn't do much to convince her husband and Mia hated that the most, she hated that her mother had accepted the proposal so quickly.

They should have stood against him, perhaps, maybe she wouldn't be walking this goddamn aisle.

She reached the altar and looked up straight into Leonardo's eye. Her so-called husband locked eyes and tension seemed to build between them, he had a strong jawline, prominent cheekbones, and a straight nose.

He has piercing eyes that sparkle brightly with smooth radiant skin and a healthy complexion, his hair is well-groomed and it frames his face

" Is this fate?" She questioned herself.

Who could have ever thought the man she had a one-night stand with, a few weeks ago would turn out to be her groom?

Her father's CEO. Was it planned? Was she the target?

"Let the bride and the groom exchange vows" the priest's voice jotted Mia out of her thoughts

"Can we skip that part?" Leonardo said only to the priest hearing and he quickly nodded

Mia studied him for a while "Why is he doing this?

"What good is their marriage going to get him?" she pondered.

They proceeded to sign the marriage contract and it was done.

At the after party. Mrs. Alessandro approached her Smile more darling, you're officially part of the Alessandro family ". Mia widened her smile.

Though it felt like she was cracking.

She looked down at her dress and she sighed.

She wished she'd worn the dress her best friend Bianca picked out, but she refused.
