episode 1 ; the marriage

Camila Rodrigo POV:

Everything was happening so fast, it was like my whole life was coming to an end right in front of me, all at once in a way I never imagined. I, Camila Rodrigo the poor hunter girl just trying to contribute to my family is now getting married to the ruthless emperor of Rustad empire. We had just exchanged royal ancestral rings, I and Lord Leonardo Mendez who is the youngest prince in Rustad history.

According to the rumors around the empire, apart from his drop-dead gorgeous looks and his courageous and ruthless leadership, not much is known about him. He is the only child of his late parents Lord Ricardo Mendez and Lady Liliana Mendez who both died in an ambush and that was when Lord Leonardo had to take leadership.

" May Lord Leonardo takes the new lady Camila in a sealing kiss of matrimony" tho priest said to lord Leonardo who sat across me with the holy fire burning between us, my face was covered to my chin with a white Veil and shock rippled through me but, instead of me keeping my fucked up mouth shut...

"what did you say?" I said quite rudely with a faint tone of irritation, I wasn't about to give my first kiss to an unworthy piece of shit😒😒. Gasps filled the atmosphere while Lord Leonardo just stared at me briefly then stood up

" A kiss is not needed, the marriage has already been sealed" and with that he left and went upstairs, people were quiet for a bit but the resumed with the party soon enough. I stood up and my mom came to me with my sister Julie

"what was the meaning of that, why didn't you just kiss him... He is so hot" Julie complained

" If he is really so hot then go fuck him then maybe he'll marry you instead" I retorted

"if it will work then why not" she said and I couldn't resist shaking my head.

" Camila Rodrigo, go and apologize to your husband now" mum demanded but before I could protest, she gave me a death stare so I just nodded and went up stairs. l was directed to a hall way and the guard pointed the last room for me as my lord's so I went there. It looks ominous and the closer I get to the door, the stronger the scent of cheroot cigarettes, sweet and pungent. without knocking I swing open the door... shit!.

..." I swear, My lord i didn't see anything trust me" I said then laughed akwardly but I know he ain't buying that bullshit so I slam the door shut and start running towards the door on the other end that says NEWLY MARRIED LADY but as soon as I start running, I hear him behind me ... oh legs, don't fail me know, I said to myself as I ran faster then I got to the door and pushed it open but before I could close it , he already entered....
