Chapter 185: My kept man


    Aria had thought n just took her to church until the marriage officiant started reading.


    She wanted to run but n held her back before responding to the marriage officiant question, "I do."


    Aria felt her heart was in her throat hearing the marriage officiant and looking at n.


    She was just twenty-one.


    She never thought about marriage. Even though she wanted to be with n, she never in her dreams thought she would get wed at such a young age.


    She said, "I''m scared." Instead of <em>''I do''</em>


    n could understand her anxiety because she was just twenty-one and the wedding was brought up out of blue.


    Even he had no idea he was going to be wedded on that day. After seeing her in a bridal short gown, he thought to give it a try.


    He fished out the rings from his pocket which he had held in the airport two years back.


    Aria was instantly calmed down looking at the ring and identifying them as the rings which she had bought for them and which she had lost in the airport.


    n spoke, "Consider it as engagement."


    Aria shook her head which made n think she didn''t want to do it and was ready to send the marriage officiant away but Aria suddenly said.


    "It''s a Wedding... I do, I do and I do..."


    Before two men could react, Aria had kissed n standing on her toes and slid the ring to his finger then extended her hand for the ring brightly smiling at him.


    The marriage officiant was chuckling when n finished the ring ceremony taking his vow and embraced her.


    They had taken the church wedding certificate before leaving as the husband and wife.


    ---


    "... So ording to country S customs, we are spouses from two and a half years."


    Aria finished and gulped her saliva looking at fuming faces.


    Amelia took the cane to her hand as she spoke, "Wedded two and a half years back. Got the certificate two years back and you guys are telling us now after breaking your own wedding, sitting and snuggling together."


    "Ahhhh..."


    Aria screamed and ran around in the mansion, got beaten by Rian, Roxy, and Amelia...


    Theyid on the couch breathing heavily feeling damn tired after a long time.


    Rowan''s main concern, "What''s going on from these past twenty plus days and aren''t you two angry at each other? Why one more wedding?"


    n hit his own forehead and saw Aria pulling out a fruit knife quickly from the coffee table and kept it on his neck scaring the shit out of everyone.


    "Arrie"


    "Little Devil"


    "Pop, who said I''m not angry? I want to kill your son. Just because, I don''t want your daughter-inw to be a widow and murderer, I''m controlling myself."


    Then she spoke through clenched teeth ring n in the eye.


    "How dare you ask me to y your stupid n? Do you have any idea how it feels to say <strong>No</strong> standing at my own wedding? I just asked for a proper wedding and what you did? n Morgan, I really doubt whether you have a heart. This is the first and thest time, if repeated, trust me, I''ll kill you before going to prison."


    n slowly took the knife and threw away before calming her seeing her seething.


    "You... You are angry with Bro because he nned everything. So you hated him. He purposefully maligned you to anger you... No doubt Bro was speaking too much that day."


    Rian tried to understand.


    n spoke pulling Aria''s ear, "My n was to expose me with the proof in front of all and to hit me before leaving the wedding. Your Little devil is a mouse. She started crying from the time I told her the n."


    Aria punched his stomach as hard she could.


    "Those proofs?" A confused tone heard.


    "Pop, those were the proof we got on our initial investigation."


    Amelia''s face turned dark, "And you forgave him just because you love him?"


    Aria giggled and hugged her jumping towards her, "I love you, Mum."


    n snorted, "Have you told that to me?"


    <em>''My muddled husband, is that required now?''</em>


    Amelia hugged her back making her sit next to her. "Jealous? You should be. Do you think it''s easier to malign the one you love? Try thinking Aria said <em>''I do''</em> and was in front you and you have to say no. You will understand how much it pains."


    n didn''t respond other than looking at Aria whose eyshes fluttered, lips trembled looking away from him.


    He knew he left a deep scar.


    But they had no choice. If Aria had said<em> ''I do''</em>the consequences were dire which nobody knew except him, Aria and Isaac.


    Aria was ready to cancel the wedding a day before because she wasn''t ready to malign n.


    Aria leaned in Amelia''s embrace and heard Roxy ask, "Arrie, didn''t you doubt brother inw even once?"


    Aria smiled.


    n responded, "As soon as she saw the proof, she started beating her investigation team men."


    n pulled Aria back to his arms. He remembered her saying once, <em>''I will trust you wholeheartedly.''</em> But he never thought she wouldn''t doubt him even a little seeing those created fake proof.


    "Can you two make it clear to us?"


    They were extremely confused without being able to process anything.


    Aria sat back straight and exined, "As soon as I got to know n was in every proof of the investigation, I realized people around me are targeting my and n''s rtionship. I and the other two personnel checked those proofs.


    If a video was edited, it always leaves a code of application so it wasn''t difficult for us to know those weren''t actually n.


    When we found the car dashboard video of six years back, it confirmed to us that wherever the proofs were present they reced n there.


    I asked n and his team about their investigation report and found many loopholes.


    The footage which was deleted in the database appeared out of nowhere when my team investigated.


    And those so-called socialites created encounters with me to provoke me on n lying to me and many more.


    Their main stupidity is that they don''t know the extent I trust n so they thought I was digging out about n in his name.


    As of now, our deduction is there are three persons against this conspiracy. It is very important for us to let them know n and I are on negative terms after seeing those proofs.


    I wasn''t ready to ept his n but n didn''t allow me.


    I had cried and pleaded to him to stop hence he changed the n and maligned me to make you guys hate him and repeatedly hurt me purposefully to make me hate him...


    Even though he wanted to show that we hate each other, I was really hurt so I made sure I pushed him to the cliff stabilizing Skyline Industries from his attacks.


    My poor husband is still paying for angering me.


    Sweetheart, anger me more, I''ll make sure I''ll not stop until you go bankrupt and you be my kept man."


    n rubbed her head. He wouldn''t mind that too.


    For him, she was important than anything or anybody else.
