Married By Mistake
Chapter 18

LUNA

“D.” I couldn’t fix Dylan’s necktie because he keeps stealing a k**s on my lips. I stepped away. “Stop kissing me.”

“Can’t get enough. I’m not sorry.” There was a deceptive smile on his lips.

I took a deep breath and rearranged his necktie. Tonight Camille’s welcome party will be held and we need to go. Dad expected Dylan to come because there were a lot of businessmen going there.

“Let’s go,” I said.

He gripped my waist. “I still do not want.”

“Papa and Camille will be looking for us.” He traced my jaw with his seductive lips.

“My make-up is going to be messy, Dylan.”

“Is your make-up more important than my k**s?” It’s tempting to say so.

I bit my l*p. I wrapped my arm around his neck. “Dylan, we need to go. Now. Please?”

He took a deep breath and moved away from me. He smiled with puffy eyes. “Queen’s orders.”

We went out and went to the party venue. When we reached the front of Papa’s mansion, the security guard opened the gate for us. Dylan helped me get out of the car. He Immediately wrapped his arm around my waist.

“Why do you have to wear this kind of clothes? You looked so freaking sexy, I’m so aroused.” Dylan whispered to me as we walked closer to the mansion garden.

My cheek blushed. I wore a simple red cocktail dress. I don’t want to grab attention, especially since it’s not my party.

“Welcome back to my sweet daughter of mine, Veronica Camille,” Dad said at the top of the stage and holding a microphone. In one hand he was holding the wine.

Camille was by his side. She was wearing a fitted maroon dress. It was up to half of her thigh and because of the colour and shortness, her face became more attractive.

“Thank you, Papa. I’m so glad that I’m home. Gosh. I missed my old bed.” Camille replied smiling. she raised the cup of wine. “Cheers.”

We also raised the wine we were holding. “Cheers!”

We drank that together. I felt Dylan touch my hand that was on the table.

“She looks so beautiful,” I murmured.

“And you’re stupefying,” Dylan whispered to mine.

I turned to him. “Dylan, don’t get drunk.”

He smiled and caressed my cheek. “Don’t worry. I won’t risk your safety, baby.”

“You’re Dylan Caden, right? The CEO of DC Enterprises?” Asked an old man. It sat in the vacant seat.

“Yes, I am. And this is my wife, Luna.”

The man switches his gaze to me. “The celebrant?”

“No. We’re twins.” I said smiling.

“Oh. What a beautiful wife you got there. You’re a lucky man, Mister Reyes.”

My cheek blushed.

“I believe you’re Mister Fidel Eusebio. The president of Eu Industries.”

The man smiled. “I offer you a proposition, Mister Reyes.”

The two talked about a business that I didn’t understand. I said goodbye to Dylan to go around first because I was bored and he agreed.

“Luna!” Camille left her visitors and hugged me. “I thought you weren’t coming. I’m going to be upset.”

“Don’t be dramatic,” I said smiling.

“You’re with Dylan?”

“Ah, yes. He’s talking to a businessman. What they’re talking about is getting me drowsy so I left them.”

Camille and I would have had a longer conversation if it hadn’t been for the other guests. I was still walking. Until I ended up in an uncrowded place. I sat on benches that were a bit dark.

I don’t like places that are noisy and crowded. I felt suffocating. Maybe it’s because I grew up a loner.

I was shocked when a hand covered my eye.

“Guess who?” My hair stood on end at the man’s voice.

I immediately stood up. I lost my blindfold. I confronted the person who did that.

“I-You ..” Fear lived in my system when I saw those familiar braces on his teeth. It was one of Dylan’s friends, one of the men who molested me that night. Why is he here?

“Missed me?” He said in a demonic voice.

I remember how he insulted me when Dylan doesn’t care about me. I looked around. It’s a long way from the party event so there aren’t too many people in this area. My system panicked.

I walked away quickly but he pulled my arm.

“Let me go! What ?!” I said tremblingly as my hand slapping his.

“You know, I used to crave for you. I don’t know why Dylan didn’t let us have a taste.”

I tried to aim for his crotch but he grabbed my knee and lifted it to his waist. I felt the hard object in the middle of his thigh.

“Stay away from me—” I sighed as he bit the exposed part of my shoulder.

I fell when there’s someone harshly pull on the man with braces.

“You f*****g A*****e!” I felt a strange joy when I saw Dylan. I could see Dylan’s anger.

“F**k! Dylan, just a taste.”

Dylan threatened him. “She’s mine. Don’t come near my wife again, Ethan. I’ll kill you next time.”

The man laughed devilishly. His l*p exploded because of Dylan’s punch. He pushed my husband and stood up straight.

“F**k you, Dylan. Why are you prohibiting me to have a taste of your wife? Isn’t she a whore?”

“Stop it! I’ve long forgotten our friendship.” Dylan poured all his strength into the final blow unleashed. The man did not defend that. It lost his consciousness.

Dylan looked at me and approached. I hugged him tightly, terrified.

“Did he scare you?”

I nodded. I can’t stop sobbing.

“God, I’m sorry. This is all my fault.” He said. “He won’t bother you again. I’ll protect you, sweetheart.”

Dylan carried me like a newlywed. I buried my face in his neck. He was already walking but I didn’t know where he was going.

“What happened to my daughter?” I heard Dad’s voice. I squeezed Dylan’s neck harder, I didn’t want Dad to see me look like this.

I didn’t hear any music so he might go in behind the door to get inside the house.

“It’s alright, ‘Pa. Something unexpected happened. But everything’s fine now.” Dylan’s promise.

“Take her to her room so she can rest,” Dad said softly.

Dylan lowered me to the soft bed. I clung to his coat. “Do not leave me.”

He smiled sparingly. “I won’t.”

He sat next to me and removed my shoes. After that, he stood up to get some clothes in my cabinet.

“Come on. I’ll undress you.” Dylan said softly.

I sat down and he opened the zipper of my dress. “Damn it.”

“W-Why?”

“The a*****e left a mark.”

“Huh? There’s a hickey?” I smeared anger in his eyes. I touched my shoulder that the man had kissed earlier. That was covered. “D-Don’t look.”

Dylan took my hand and pulled it away from my shoulder. I panicked. I felt so dirty. Abundant tears dripped into my eyes.

“Dylan, I felt so dirty.” I sobbed.

His expression softened. Even before I could react, his l*p dropped to my shoulder where the k**s mark was. I was so close to Dylan’s shoulder because of the sensation it felt.

His k**s rose until our lips touched. By the time our lips moved it was as if all my fears were gone because of what had happened earlier. I feel so safe in his arms. I m****d as its warm palm touched my bare chest and played with the top of it.

“I’ve never felt this madness before, Luna. When I saw Ethan following you I immediately turned my back on Mister Eusebio to look for you.” I was relieved when he gently kissed the top of my chest. “And seeing you hysterical made me see b***d. I want to kill that bastard.”
