Runaway Bride

Chapter-35

Riccardo leaned in my ears whispering, "Wife be careful... I might get jealous...."

I whispered, "you are cunning..."

Riccardo whispered, "You haven't seen any of that...."

As soon as the ceremony ended, Riccardo and I were greeted by bunch of people who were happy to see Riccardo there.

I noticed Wade's Dad came to us, he was so busy happy with Riccardo's presence, I did notice the constant glare I got from Helena and Wade.

Helena hates me, because She wanted to be me, while Wade, his hate did trouble me a lot. I kept looking at him with same kind of emotions.

Maybe he felt betrayed, but isn't it a betrayal too when he never trusted me. He refused to believe that I was forced to be with Riccardo, Wade thought of me so low that he fell in her arms right away.

It makes me question, what kind of person I invested in, who would trust anyone but me. I need him to save me but he changed sides.

And I am the criminal?

They say whatever happens, happens for a good reason.

But I see no good in this.

And Riccardo seemed to brought me here for his ego, to humiliate Wade.

Wade's father said, "Mrs. and Mr. Valentine... meet my son Wade and his new wife Helena..." He called them over, Wade walked to us half hearted.

Wade's father left attending some other guest.

I felt Riccardo's hand around my waist. He said, "Congrats... on this union ....." He smirked.

Wade had his eyes fixed on me, he said, "So you showed up..... you must be enjoying too much, Cherish...."

Riccardo said, "You invited my wife..... and now complaining about it.... Looks like you are not please to see her husband nor her...."

Riccardo glared at Wade, Wade was doing the same. Riccardo smirked saying, "You should remember, I will be here to answer you when you insult her.... so disappointed that her husband is neither old nor weak as you?"

I grabbed Riccardo's hand, I said, "We are not here to cause a scene... are we?"

Riccardo grabbed my hand as he said, "No... wife, never.... I here to show them their place... right, Helena...." He shot a glare at her, she looked down in fear.

But how does Riccardo knows about everything, I never told him. Only person with me was....

My eyes went wide as I pulled the pieces together.

I can't believe his man.

Wade said to Riccardo, "You should not trust her.... she has no value for other.... she can change into anything....."

Riccardo warned, "I can cut you don't to piece but since My wife is here... I am warning.... one word about her and you are dead..."

I pulled my hand from Riccardo as I said, "I need some fresh air....."

I took myself away from there, I was in one of the corridor in venue. I couldn't believe what hurt more.

Today everything seemed to against me. Wade's actions did broke my heart, he meant something to me. I was true to him the entire time we were together. I did god knows what to date him in secret.

But all it took him was one event to change, he never thought about my situation.

And Riccardo.... how can he do this !!!

I feel like he has his eyes to spy me, that's his purpose.

I felt arm getting pulled to one of the rooms, Riccardo pulled me in the room, he said with frustration, "What are you doing?"

He noticed my distress, he asked, "What!!... Are you still crying over ex?"

I whispered, "Riccardo..."

He pulled me closer, Riccardo said to me assuring, "When you have me... you don't need anyone...."

The way he said this, may be soothed my anger. Riccardo pulled me up, making me sit on the table, I was surprised.

He pinned me down kissing corner of my face and jaw. I was surprised but the sensations made my heart race. He is excited in place as such.

I felt his lips moving on neck, I grabbed his shoulder as I whispered, "Riccardo... please... stop... not here..."

Riccardo whispered, "Cherish...... Love... just look at me...."

I felt his hand on my upper knees, the dress was already showing a lot of my legs. When he got so aggressive.

What got into him?

I grabbed his hand stopping him, I whispered, "Please... not here..." This is not me, what kind of control he has over me.

I heard something crash, my eyes shot open looking at the crash. I noticed Wade was standing at the door, the flower vase just crashed, breaking into pieces.

But something else broke to.... my pride.

I noticed Riccardo got up from me, he said smirking, "We need some privacy...."

Wade looked away full of hate, while I bundled up in a ball trying to cover myself.

I guessed it.... He wanted this to happen.

He never touched me in these day, he did today just to humiliate Wade .... and me.

Riccardo, how can you do this to me?

You are so cunning, you burnt my pride down to ashes today. Riccardo said, "See.... she is mine now.... and I think you know when to leave husband wife alone...." Wade rushed out of their full of anger.

My fingers got tight on my clothes, I was shaking. I am angry, betrayed, humiliated.... or worst....

I felt so lowly, that he brought this day up on me, to satisfy his ego.

He crossed every limits to show his authority and power.

How can he let someone else witness me like this?

I am his wife, then he should have let me have my dignity.

Riccardo.... why?

My eyes were flooded, I was trying to cover my half naked body.

I can never forget this humiliation.

I never thought he would do this to me, He brought me here to this wedding a purpose, and he did it this way?

I felt like I have been stripped down my pride when I am still dressed. I feel like I am getting exposed.

I never thought he would do this to me.

So, he is indeed a cruel man as I heard, never cared about anyone.

He fixed his jacket as he said, "Let's go...."

I looked at him, he looked at me stunned. I was in tears.

Riccardo whispered, "Cherish... you...."

I warned, "Don't...... if you.. you are any part human.... just don't speak to me right now...."

I got on my feet walking away from him. I got out of the venue fighting my tears. I got in cab, I broke down the next second.

It hurts so much. I need someone, I can't be like this. I never felt this hurt, this betrayed, this humiliated in my existence.

I called her, she picked the call not wasting time. I whispered, "He... he..... hurt me.... so bad..." I sobbed the last part.
