Do you hate me for my impairment"Valeria "I don't....I just hate people"Noah Valeria Smith,a visually impaired girl is forced to get into a marriage with the son of her father's friend. She had led a difficult life in the domain of her stepmother and sees her marriage as an escape but unfortunately for her,her husband turns out to be an aggressive man whose rage could burn down a city. Noah Owen could never object to his strict father's decision of him granting him a long time wish of having a grandson who will carry on the family bloodline. Besides his hypersensitiveness to women,Valeria's gentle nature infuriated him more. Due to his anger issues,he tried to stay away from her inorder to not hurt her but he had no choice than to interfere in her live when someone tries to kill her. The question left hanging was who Valeria truly was, for her amiable nature attracted a powerful unknown enemy who wouldn't stop in getting rid of her. Will he be able to help Valeria in fighting her battle while on an abhorrence with her? Will Valeria ever get to see? Will love triumph the doubts and distress?
Noah watched with an expressionless face as Valeria signed the documents with shaking hands while the minister stands beside her to guide her hand to the right place.
If Noah is a man who appreciates beautiful women, he would describe her as wonderfully made, with a full head of thick red hair, rosy lips and perfectly proportioned nose and with the way her body fills out the white gown on her body, she is definitely endowed.
But of course he is not a man who enjoy women's company, he hates people in general, he hardly even likes himself but he despises women even more, for their deceitful ways, and it does not exclude the blind one that just signed a lifetime of being hellbound with him.
"We now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss your bride" the Minister's voice boomed into his thoughts and the hard gaze he laids on him make the minister flinch back as if he'd been slapped.
Noah gives the impaired woman who just become his wife one last look and slithes out of the church without making a sound.
Everyone except his family was surprised by the way he reacted.They know how ruthless he can be and some hadn't even expected him to actually show up for the wedding.
Valeria heard his retreating footsteps and wondered why he had left so suddenly, though she wasn't really ready to fulfill her marital obligation, but this kiss is supposed to seal their wedding vows and she had never heard of a wedding without a kiss which makes hers the first, she was still contemplating this while standing like a fool at the alter with her cheek blushed crisom when she heard the footsteps of another person coming towards her and from the solid sound of it, it's probably male.
"May I?" The person said and placed Valeria right hand on his forearm, so she could hold onto him.
Valeria laids her gloved hand on Lucas forearm as he led her out of the church, she wants to cry and laugh both at the same time,she can't believe this is actually her wedding day, because it feels like she had just escaped one prison only to be led to another.
But she would walk down the aisle and out of this church with her chin held high, she will not give her deceitful stepmother the satisfaction of seeing her cry, because seeing her tears will certainly gladden her heart, but she won't give her that satisfaction as there will be plenty of time for tears later.
"Valeria sweetheart,I hope you will be twice as happy as your were with me" Valeria heard her father's voice and she felt him draw closer to her to give her a light hug.
"Thank you father"She said while faking a smile towards him.
'You wedded me to someone I'm not in love with but then you expect me to have twice the happiness I never got while being with you'.She thought to herself but kept her face cool like she wasn't hurt by his ignorance all the time.
"Oh Valeria dear,I'm so upset I wouldn't be seeing you as much anymore" Valeria heard Alice,her stepmother who pretends she loves her only in front of her father said while hugging her tightly, she feels like smashing her damned face but she won't let herself lose control.
"Have a horrible lifetime of marriage with that monster you just got married to" Alice whispered to Valeria's ear with a bright smile on her face.
Valeria held no expression still.She had learnt to keep a smile on her face even if she's in an unpleasant situation, she has been doing it for a long time, she won't lose it now.
The only person who stood rigid with her arms crossed was Julia, her stepsister who hesitated in hugging her. Julia came close enough to give her a light hug.
"I will be okay Julia" Valeria whispered to Julia who looks questioningly at Valeria but knew she couldn't see her expression, so she held both Valeria's hand and squeezed reassuringly.
"Who said I was worried"Julia scoffed and that made Valeria smile, the first genuine smile she has had since she woke up today, because Julia had always try to not show any sign of pity for her but deep down,Valeria knew she was the only one in her family who truly cared.
"Are you gonna start crying on me?" the man leading her out of the church said with a gentle voice "If it's about Mr Owen leaving you behind, you need not feel bad about it, he is like that to everyone"
"Who are you?, And why are you talking informally to me?" Valeria inquired with a shaky voice as the man in question guided her towards the car which Noah was in.
"Sorry for not formally introducing myself,my name is Lucas Anderson and I happen to be your husband's personal assistant, and as of right now,I also become your personal assistant"Lucas said with a warm smile, even though he knew she couldn't see it but at least he hoped she will feel that he's not her enemy.
He guided her into the backseat of the car and Valeria's body tensed up instantly, her husband is probably the one sitting next to where she sat.Her body becomes stiff and her breaths starts coming fast,not because of the person's presence but because she is sitting inside a car, she can feel the space closing in on her and her palm started sweating.
But since she did not want her brand new husband to think her weak and stupid, she reigned in her discomfort and managed a calm and serene look, even though she was dying to get out of the car.
She heard the car starts and her subconscious made her hold on to her wedding gown tightly like her life depended on it and despite the calm look on her face, her whole body trembles in fear.
"Is it considered betrayal to develop feelings for your best friend's boyfriend? What about when fate intervenes, and he turns out to be your destined mate?

As I stared at the pregnancy test in my hands, I realized it was better to keep my secret to myself. My name is Violet, and this is my story."
