MARRIED TO THE HEARTLESS GUARDIAN ANGEL

Leah is a teenager who has the notion of marriage being nothing but a form of bondage after many failed attempts to love wholeheartedly without falling out of love. She sees love as something she is not simply cut out for, but it seems destiny had other plans for her, as she gets involved with an unearthly being(a god) whose job was to protect her as she died in her first life whilst taking an attack which was initially meant for him, whom she had loved intensely. "Leah!... Leah!, YOU CAN'T DIE " i heard him scream as i lay in his arms, weak and breathless as all my powers had left me. I knew i was gonna die any moment from now, seeing Alex looking so weak, trembling with tears in his icy blue eyes for the first time ever, made me so upset and at the same time i felt really sad. "Alex, don't you dare shed a tear, i will return but promise me you would always be by my side even if i may not be able to see you"' i said weakly, trying to capture his face with my right hand when he caught it and said sobbingly "i promise you i would always be by your side, no matter how far you might be in your next life" he said as i gave up the ghost. Alex, a supernatural being of great cold aura, supreme power, has pledged to become her guardian angel in the next life to pay her back, as she had sacrificed her life for him when he was powerless, without knowing that she even loved him. Little did he know that he had also developed feelings for her as well, but was still yet to recognize the feeling as the so called love. Would fate give these two a chance to finally have a happy ending? Well, let's find out.

CHAPTER 1: THE DREAM

"Leah.... Leah" I heard at full volume, the voice of my mother as I tried opening my eyes, blinking multiple times still trying to adjust to the light coming into the room from the windows. "Oh no it's morning already and I woke up late again, Mom is so gonna give me an ear full *sigh*. Why the hell do I sleep so much, whyyy!!" I thought as I scolded myself ,while roughly grabbing and fondling with my hair.

"You have really got to stop acting so irresponsible, I mean you are almost 18", Mother said as she shifted the curtains to a side so as to let light fill the dark room.

"Good morning mummy, how was your night?", I said as I got up to stretch before stepping out of bed to wash up. "Good morning young lady , my night was fine" , mum replied with an angry look on her face, not bothering to ask how my night was, well, not like I really cared.

"I really don't know what you'll be like when you finally become married", mom said whilst still in my room sorting my clothes out, the reason? I didn't know.

It took me a while to process what I was gonna say to her, as our last argument which occurred as a result of me saying, "I didn't wanna get married" caused days of hostility between the both of us.

I have had this phobia for marriage after a few relationships I have had. The longest I have had was for about 5 or 6 months I guess, and I know you all want to know why. Well, it's simply because I fell out of love, I guess I'm just not cut out for romantic relationships. I have also lost many friendship bonds due to the fact that i.... Now that I think about it, I just don't know. I see marriage as nothing but an upsetting bondage, no matter how many couples I see celebrate their anniversary year after year .

So I simply replied her as carefully as possible after much thinking, trying to avoid any arguments. "Well, when I finally get married [which is not gonna be happening in this lifetime, I thought to myself] , I'll try my best to be much more responsible" and mom replied with the words I never thought I would feel guilty for after hearing.

"How happy would I be seeing you walking down the grand aisle in a magnificently gorgeous white flowing dress, and your husband in a black tuxedo matching his handsome face, It would make I and your dad the happiest people in the world" I didn't realize that I had stopped brushing.

It took me a while to snap out of my daze as i hurriedly replied her like someone who had almost committed a crime but got walked in on by an unexpected guest and had to cook up some lie fast so as not to get discovered.

"yeah , I would be happy on that day as well... with my husband... and i.... walking down the aisle and all.... It sure would be the hap... happiest day of our lives" I said as I rinsed my mouth and proceeded to take my bath as I looked so nasty. "I wish i could really love someone who truly reciprocated my love for him, but who can i actually come to love wholeheartedly without falling out of love with" I thought to myself as I entered the bath tub.

As I was about to get into the tub, a scene of the dream I had last night which I thought I had forgotten flashed through my mind. The face of the most gorgeous and unearthly beautiful being I have ever seen, he was nothing like I had encountered before.
