His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Chapter 124

JALEXI

I’d never kissed anybody. Never felt the need to. What was the point of it any way if it was going to lead to her in my bed? You could get there without swapping salivas.

I didn’t believe in the love that Hallmark tries to sell, a spark or a passion or any of that b**t.

But when I saw Mia walking down that aisle in the dress of her dreams, I swear, for a nanosecond, I believed in every thing I despised.

I was a carnal man. I conquered, possessed.

But there was no person in the world born or alive that I would consider as my equal other than this girl.

She was going to be my wife. Even if the method I used was less than amicable. She was mine. Yesterday, today, tomorrow. F**g forever.

“She actually showed up,” Dominic huffed. “I was convinced she’d run away when you appointed another driver to get her from the hotel.”

I wanted to glare at him. I would have, if I could take my eyes off the girl in front of me. I couldn’t. I simply couldn’t. As if I was scared she would disappear,

She wouldn’t look at me though. She kept her eyes on the aisle, the one decorated with flowers that were different shades of blue and hundreds of tiny candles, just like I found her in her scrapbook. Admittedly the aisle in her book was in a castle surrounding the water if that place even exists in this world- this is as close as I could come to mimic it in a church.

She stands in front of me, and unable to take the fact that she wasn’t looking at me, I tuck my index finger under her chin and jerk it upwards.

Her misty gaze meets mine, and she freezes.

Fucking mine.
