Duke, Please Divorce Me

ent I won be here after today.

”You ready? ” Father asked while I was still dressing myself.

”Yes, Im ”, I just agreed just like usual. But my heart thumping louder. Im scared. Im scared of everything. Im scared of dad. Im scared of this marriage. Im scared of the person Im marrying. Yeah, everything is so scary as if a monster is trying to eat me up while burying a fear seed inside me.

”You, ok? ” Father asked me again unlike other times.

Yeah, I know it is another act of his but I played along until I saw the face, I knew for a long time right in front of me in the alter while I was holding fathers hand and walking closer to him.

”Happy now? ” father asked while I turned to him. My eyes were getting all teary but my heart was bursting with happiness. The more I see the face of my father the more glow he looks. He is even smiling which I saw for the very first time.

How did he know?

I wanted to ask but I couldn until he placed my hand on his letting me be the happiest bride in this entire empire.

”You, Alexavier Agnes, are you willing to take Miss. Bernice Balliol as your legal wife? ” the priest asked.

I was staring at his lips just to hear those two words.

”I do ”, he said. Yeah, he did.

”You, Bernice Balliol, are you willing to take Duke Alexavier Agnes as your legal husband? ” he asked.

I didn even delay any further but said, ”I do. ”

”Now you may kiss the bride ”, he said.

My heart again started thumping louder. It happened even faster when he slowly approached toward me but he didn come much closer to me but he stayed a bit far and raised my veil and kissed my cheeks to my surprise.

What was that?

I felt as if I said it out loud so I stared everywhere and there where my father was laughing but he hid it when I saw him.

”You are such a hideous person, Father ”, I mutter.

”Did you say something? ” Alexavier said.

”Ah nothing ”, I denied and walked down.

It all feels like a dream. Everything happened too fast. I got married to Duke Alexavier Agnes. My family was saved from bankruptcy. And everything seems so good. But now only one thing is left.

The first night.

What will happen now?

Is he going to make love to me the way I read in romance novels?

Im not sure but my face is burning just from the thought.

”Madam, shall we go? ” He spoke again while lending me his hand as if he is asking me if he can escort me.

I didn even delay but give it. I went inside the carriage but he didn come. He rode a horse and was walking beside me which felt closer but as well so far.

Why is it?

What is this fear again running down my spine? ”
