Chapter 15

Presley

As I look at myself in the full-length mirror that has been placed in here for the sole purpose of me getting ready for my wedding, I feel numb. I never imagined it would be like this, to a man who purchased me for millions of dollars and locked me in a room overnight until I behaved. I never imagined that I wouldn't have most of my friends and family here or that I would be getting married in another country to a citizen of that country. But it doesn't really matter because I have never imagined my wedding at all or even knew if I was going to get married, and if so, it would have been far into my future.

It has been a week now since Stefan told me I was going to become Presley Dalca, his wife. Actually, according to him, I am already his wife legally. This wedding is nothing more than a setup to satisfy some associates of his and to give the finger to my parents. Not to mention the fact that this will make it look real. And I'm going to find a way to enjoy it, considering, for the past week ,as we have disagreed with one another, Stefan has made it clear that this is going to be my one and only wedding. No matter the fact that it's a sham, he plans, and it is lasting forever, though he still has not given me much information as to why.

I smile at my reflection because I am in my power color, red. This dress is not the dress I would have picked out for myself had it been for a wedding I had planned. But then again, that would be because my family and friends would not have allowed for anything more than traditional, and this dress is nothing traditional at all. In fact, it isn't even a dress. It has two pieces; a lacy crimson top which only comes down to my navel and shows off the best parts of me. Then there is a gap where some of my stomach shows; a red ribbon my tiny waist begins the skirt which flares down into white tulle peppered in several designs that look like red rose petals. It is gorgeous and 100% me even though he knows nothing about me, or at least, I assume he doesn't.

In truth, I really don't know if he knows more about who I am than he is letting on. There is some reason the he has chosen me to be his wife, and I don't think it was random, but haven't gotten him to confess to what the reason is yet. But I'm sure it will become clear once I say I do, and the reason I am so sure is because I have already decided I am not going to be his prize or his trophy wife. As soon as the crowd clears, I am going to lay down the law and make sure he knows that I’m not some little pushover.
