Chapter Two

"I married him not for his good looks but for his amazing personality. I can't believe that I was privileged enough to marry him and have him forever, He is the perfect man and I can not see myself without him. If you really got to know him you would know that he is not as cold as he seems, he is quite the sweetheart- " Sakura said but she was cut-off by the sound of the door opening and to her surprise she had seen him. The man with the onyx eyes who had saved her from her fall at the altar.

"Hello Ladies" The male with the onyx orbs entered the room. He had raven locks, piercing onyx eyes, pale and flawless skin, aristocratic nose and thin yet kissable looking lips. The man looked like a god he seemed to have been carved by Angels and he would have gave both Adonis and Narcissus a run for their money.

"Uchiha-san" Hinata bowed towards the man as Sakura continued to stare at him. He was who she married, she was married to this gorgeous man who she deemed to be 'God's gift to women'. The male acknowledged his wife and her new friend with a nod as he approached them.

"Love" Sakura feigned a smile as she stood up to wrap her dainty arms around his waist. She did not know his name so she had decided to stick to a sweet endearment, married couples did that right? Her husband chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her returning her hug. He nuzzled her neck and pressed soft kisses towards her forehead.

"If I may be allowed to have my wife alone for the rest of the day, that would be great" Uchiha-san gave a small sinister smile at Hinata which made the girl cower of in fear and scurry of away from the room afraid to corrupt her innocent eyes with whatever sick and perverted thing he would do to her new friend, Sakura. The man Sakura had been praising and ogling for the past minute paced towards her, his face unreadable. The man threw her to the wall quite harshly yet she thought he was just a bit rough on women. She was wrong, he wasn't planning on doing anything with her. He leaned towards her and she realized that this wasn't those warm onyx eyes who saved her from falling in the altar.

"Let me tell you something" The male slowly cupped Sakura's face and leaned his face towards hers. They were so close to each other that they felt each others breathing. The man kept leaning in and Sakura closed her eyes waiting for the contact but it never came instead she felt his big calloused hands drift towards her neck and it tightened gradually. "You are weak, to think I was gonna kiss you? Useless wench. Are you happy? Whore. You had no right to pretend you know me because you" He paused and pressed his lips near her ears. "mean nothing to me, never will mean anything to me."

The choke-hold he kept on her neck tightened and as she started to wheeze he dropped her on the floor to die. He turned around and left the girl writhing in pain on the floor. Sakura felt her lungs finally fill with air after being deprived for what felt like an eternity. It was foolish to think he'd treat her well and maybe, just maybe fall in love with her.

She stood up, still shaken by the earlier events. She decided to take a long bath to calm her nerves, as she undressed in the bathroom she had seen herself, purple hand-prints on her neck and a huge bruise on her back. She had been in the bath for quite a long time, wishing that she would just die and never see him ever again.

She had dressed herself in one of her favorite dresses in a trial to get her mind of things. She wore a beautiful slim-fitting coral mermaid bustier dress that was embellished with Bulgari diamonds, the dress had a high slit along the right thigh making it easier to walk. She smoothed out her hair by running a brush through her rosette tresses. She applied some serum on it to make it shine and keep it smooth.

Seeing herself look beautiful in a dress made her somewhat forget the fight and what's to come with her marriage to such a cruel man. She slipped on nude peep-toe stilettos that made her long legs even longer. She sat herself in front of her elegant-looking Boudoir. She concealed her bruises, placed powder to set the concealer, curled her lashes, applied mascara on her lashes, applied blush on the apple of her cheeks and placed pink lipstick on her plump lips.

She could not shake off the words he had told her. "you mean nothing to me, never will mean anything to me". She had been foolish to think that they might fall in love like in those movies she'd watch. She stood up and decided to take a walk outside the manor to clear her head. This was put to an abrupt stop when she bumped into a man with the onyx eyes, but his seemed warmer than her husband's. She had to double take to make sure it was not him.

"You must be Sakura, I am Shisui. Your hubby's cousin" The male with the shaggy raven hair and warm onyx eyes flashed him a big smile. He reminded her of her best male friend in Konoha, Naruto. She felt herself tear up as she remembered the people she had left in Konoha, she felt as if she had betrayed them. She did lie to them but it was to protect them but like as the saying goes "The end does not justify the means".

Shisui watched the girl in pity he had seen her cousin treat women quite badly. He saw a tear escape her beautiful emerald hues which he raised his hand to wipe the tear of her face. She gave him a weak smile and he rolled his eyes at her pathetic attempt.

"Pretty girls like yourself should not cry, you're all dolled up and we wouldn't want to soil your dress and face" Shisui teased and gave the girl an assuring smile.

"Aa, It's nice to meet you Shisui-san" Sakura smiled in return as she held out her hand which he shook. Shisui offered her his arm which she linked hers with.

"Let me give you a tour of the manor, Sakura-chan" Shisui dragged her around the huge manor. He had told her about everyone who lived in the house and what everyone was like. He taught her how to survive in her own personal hell, and lastly he made her forget. Why couldn't he be the one she had to marry?
