Bleeding obsession novel Chapter 6

Authors pov

Sarah's eyes widened in shock, fear and panic when she looked at her husband. He was the same man from that night who killed someone very brutally.

She married to the mafia boss.

He was looking ahead, not even once he glanced at her. In bright lights she could see him clearly.  His cold grey eyes were drawn in alcohol in bloodshot red color, Clenched jaw like he is trying to break it. He was looking very unhappy  by this marriage and Sarah could sense that.

"You may kiss the bride now..."

Priest announced and Sarah started shaking in fear.

Xavier's fist tightened, he didn't even wanted to see her face let alone kiss her. He looked at his bride, she was looking down and Vail was hiding her face, With reasonable height distance he could only see her hair and not face.

Xavier grabbed her hand and kissed it with scowl on his face. He didn't wait for a second after that and walked away.

"Send your daughter with Ace... I don't have time for fucking formalities..."

Xavier said to her father on the way and drove away from the mansion.

Everyone stood stunned at his behavior. He didn't even bother to see her. Sarah heard people whispering and mumbling but she was relieved that he didn't kissed her. after years of struggle and pain she was now immune to the so called society judgments. with closed eyes she took a shaky breath of relief thinking he has no interest in her and she is safe...

But for now, what next ?...

She looked at her father angrily.

"I want to talk... Now..."

She left the aisle and her father followed her.

They went to his office.

"How could you dad... He is a criminal, a murderer. How can you marry me off to him. Why?..."

she yelled at him.

Her father glared at her.

"Watch your tone Sarah... And listen, you want answers right ?... It's no use of hiding it now.... Xavier is a mafia boss and so am I!...."

He said and she looked at him in shock.

"You are What ?..."

She whispered in disbelief.

"Yes, I am mafia and you are mafia's daughter. Till now I kept this thing hidden from you but I think it's time to tell you everything. Your brother was supposed to take after me but he is in coma. Even if he recovers he won't be able to succeed. Doctors are not sure that when he wakes up he will be in his right State of mind..."

"So ?..."

She asked with glossy eyes but accusations were prominent in her voice.

"So I needed someone who can handle my mafia. Natasha and you couldn't do that, Xavier is ready to do that in return his uncle asked for a bride who can give them an heir. We will give them an heir and they will provide us security..."

"How could you dad ?..."

She cried, her world was literally spinning.

"I am not getting young anymore Sarah. My enemies are waiting for a chance to kill me, to kill you, to kill our family. I have done this for everyone, for you. Xavier can protect you..."

He yelled at her frustratingly.

"You hid this from the beginning. That's why I grew up with the Grandma in London and not here with you. Isn't it dad ?."

She said venomously.

"Yes, it was best way to keep you safe and away from everything..."

He accepted.

"It was all about mafia, since the beginning. You never cared about business. It was just a cover to hide your illegal business and black money..."

She yelled.
