Julia did not imagine that at the age of twenty-two that she would be married to one of the most powerful men. Alexander.
Just at the age of thirty-four, he was already very successful and she had no choice other than to marry him so that her family could be saved her.
Alexander's father had owed her father his life and to repay him, which he would take him out of bankruptcy, he had proposed that they become one family, and now seated alone in the bedroom that they would be living in together.
She was still in her wedding dress, and there was no honeymoon, Alexander had flat-out refused. Julia had not opposed it as he was very intimidating.
After changing out of her wedding gown, she climbed into the bed,
"FUCKING BULLSHIT!"
Julia shot awake and there was Alexander, still in his tux, with no bow, and buttons open at the top. He banged the door shut. "I am stuck with you, FUCK!"
She knew he was drunk as he had a bottle of whiskey in his hands, and just sat there not knowing what to say or how to respond to his words.
"To make it worse, we have to sleep in the same bed, it makes me fucking sick."
Julia knew that they had to share the same room and bed as there were maids, if word got out that they weren't it could jeopardize everything.
"Do you know Ava?" he slurred out.
"No," she replied lightly.
"She was meant to be mine, she is the one who is supposed to be in this bed!"
Those words hurt her, she wanted to try her best to make it work and would not give up that easily,
"Do you want some water?"
"NO! But do you know what I want right now?"
"Yes?" she replied hopefully.
"For you to get the fuck out of here." He sat down by the couch that faced their bed.
Julia woke up the next morning and looked at the bedside table, it was ten in the morning. She sat up and saw that Alexander was still asleep on the couch. Julia got out of bed and showered.
There was a knock on the door and panicked. Julia shook Alexander and he woke up groggily. He was about to speak when she pointed at the door, and there was another knock, it registered to him, he got up stripped off his blazer and shirt, and climbed into bed next to her.
He wrapped his arm around her tightly, "Come in." his voice was deep and very dominant. Julia was trying to still her heartbeat but could not as being in his arms was doing all sorts of things to her, he was muscular and she was small in his arms.
His scent lured her in, and his hand on her waist made her tingle, the door opened and breakfast was rolled in, when the maid left and the door was shut, Alexander pushed her out of his arms. "This is the shit I'm going to have to do."
"Sorry."
"Your sorry does not fix anything, I don't know how long I can keep this up." He climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom and banged the door shut.
After sighing, how was she going to keep up with all of this if he was already treating her this way?
How long would they have to pretend?
Would he divorce her the minute that it was not beneficial to him? Or when their company was financially stable.
Julia now sat outside by the garden table, and there was a lot of food on the table, it was a sunny afternoon and the breeze was amazing.
She was busy reading, trying to make sure that she too would be able to help with everything and that would keep her in the loop.
"Surprised to see you doing something."
She looked up and it was Alexander, he sat down and put his laptop on the table as he began to type,
"Alexander," she replied, happy that he had come to keep her company,
"Don't be too happy, this is all for show."
She turned and saw that the maids and other staff were all on standby as they watched their interactions.
"Do you want some tea?"
"Why not."
Julia stood up and poured him some tea, he smiled at her and knew it was fake as there were many eyes on them.
