Hi everyone. As you can see, I have not forgotten about this story. There were a lot of things preventing me from writing but fear not for I do plan on finishing this story. This chapter is told through Serena POV so the writing is in first person. Also please forgive me for any grammar errors. I currently don't have a beta reader so I trying to fix any mistakes I find until I find someone who can proof read this for me. Anyway, enough stalling and on with the story.

Serena POV
That night he came to my room just as he promise he would. Looking all smug as he gaze upon my apparel. I was in a white, almost transparent, baby doll. The upper part barely cover my breast. I guess the designer of the outfit did not believe in modestly when it comes to the bedroom. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to put on this outfit. Earlier, when I came from my bath, this was the only outfit left in my room. It would had seem that all my other clothes chose that moment to go missing. So in the end it was either this or my birthday suit.
As he gaze at me lustfully, he nodded his head almost as if giving me his approval. As if I would ever need nor want the approval of a murderer. "If you think I chose to wear this outfit in order to please you, you think wrong." I stated.
His grin, if possible, only increase more. It was like that of a Chester cat, who was up to no good. "My dear, I could care less what you choose to wear for me. In fact, for what I have plan tonight, we won't be needing any clothes at all. If you catch my drift," he stated mischievously while lifting his eyebrows. "After all it is our wedding night."
"You forget that I did not marry you out of love so there is no reason for us to have a wedding night. A wedding night is intended for couples, who love each other deeply, to express their undying love for each other. I, on the other hand, only marry you for one reason."
"And what reason might that be?" He inquire gleefully. Moving closer to her. Almost as if this were a game to him. In a way, I guess it was a game and like in any game there could only be one winner. And I refused to lose to him.
"Revenge is the only reason why I marry you, Mr. Shield. You be sure not to forget that, I stated in my most serious voice.
He had the nerve to laugh. "Of course not, my Dear. I look forward to it." He stated as he pull me closer to him. "Especially the part where you fail and come back crawling to me. Begging for mercy." His voice soften and his hand began to caress my body. He then whisper in my ear. "Slow, sweet, painful mercy that is. Just like tonight, I will have you begging for mercy by the time I am done with you"
"Pulling myself away from him, I stated "There is nothing in this world that you can do to me that will cause me to go back begging to you. You had already taken away from me the only other person I had in this world. I have nothing more to lose. You on the other have plenty to lose," I smirked triumphantly.
His blue eyes narrow slightly causing his eye to darken menacingly. His cool, playful, relax demeanor suddenly change to that of a predator about to attack its prey. I wonder if this was the side of him my father saw before he was killed.
"Trust me, my dear, everyone always got something to lose", he stated harshly. "You just won't realize the importance of these things until there gone. No one ever realizes how much of the little things he or she take for guarantee until it's too late. Tell me! Did you not take for guarantee your father when he was alive? If I recalled correctly, there were a few times we were together that your father called and you chose to ignore his called...Or am I wrong? He asked.
"You bastard," I yelled. Raising my hand to strike him only to be stop mid-way by him. Seeing he had the upper hand again, his demeanor return back to the way it's was just moments before.
" . Tsk. I see we are getting off to the wrong start. We can't have that happening now. It is our wedding night after all," he gloated. "How about a drink to help ease the tension than?" He did not let go of my hand until I nodded yes.
He open the door. Ushering in a female servant with a cart. The cart contain wine, a few pastries and two glasses. The servant, who head stood bow, nervously pour wine into the glasses. "Leave us," he order to the servant. She quickly rush out of the room.
"Alone once more, my dear," he stated huskily. "Now lets us drink to our future,"
"Any future with you is not worth toasting too," I fumed.
"You're right," he smirked. "How thoughtless of me!" he said sarcastically. "How can we toast to your future? When your future is still uncertain. You will do well to remember to keep me satisfy if you wish to continue to see another day, my dear. So I hope tonight you are ready to prove to me how much you value your life."
"He stumble slightly as he move to get close to me again. Once he was by side, he reach to grab me but I move too quickly for him.
"Try to touch me again and I will scream." I stated venomously.
He had the nerve to laugh at me again. His voice, which was now a slur, still managed to cause my body to tremble. "Scream all you want, wife. It will only add to the excitement." He then reached for me again, only this time he didn't quite make it. His body suddenly slump down to the floor. Motionless he remain.
"Well that took longer than I expected," I mutter to myself. I quickly open the door to let the servant in again. When she saw my husband body on the floor, she smirk and stated "that anxious that you couldn't at least let him pass out on the bed."
"The floor is more to his suiting. Don't you agree?" I laughed. "Now Molly, please have the other servants come and carry him off to him room. And remember if they ask, my husband just had a little too much to drink tonight."
"Yes, Madame." She stated preparing to leave.
"And Molly, thank you for all your help in this."
"It is my pleasure. You know I will do anything for you, my lady" she stated humbly and walk out of the room.
I gave my husband one last look before they came for him. I knelt beside him to appear that of the concern wife. Before they took him away, I couldn't help but whisper something to his ear even though I knew he wouldn't be able to hear me. "Consider this just a warning, my love. Next time, I won't be as nice."
...End of chap.
We'll I hope you enjoy this chapter. One of the reason it took so long to get this chapter out was because me and the characters could not agree on what was going to happen in this story. I would start out with an idea but as I began to write the characters would seem take a life of their own and would refuse to do as I say. Finally, I gave up and just let them do their thing so that they can show me where they wanted this story to go. Lol. I just hope that if they continue to do so it won't interfere with the twist I have in store involving Darien. Any guess to what that might me? Anyway please take a moment to review and to let me know what you think of the story so far. Also if you have any idea on how I can improve the story. Let me know and I will take it to consideration. Also thanks for taking the time to read the story.
