19 New Home

Everyone in the room, including the lawyer, stared at the motionless couple, patiently waiting for what was meant to happen next to happen. However, nothing transpired. The couples just stood still, staring at each other, one staring with cold eyes while the other stared with bewildered eyes.

"Ehem!" The lawyer coughed, breaking the awkward silence and snapping the two back to reality. His eyes darted around, and a sheepish smile formed on his lips. "I certify you both husband and wife." He blinked with a grimaced face and adjusted his glasses. This had to be the most awkward marriage he had ever held in his entire life. Anyway, he wouldn't blame the innocent girl.

Leia and Adrik averted their gazes from each other and glanced at everyone in the room, including the maids and the bodyguards, who were still staring at them with uncomfortable eyes. Adrik glanced at Alex, who had a slight grimace on his face, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.

To break the heavy tension, Mr. Adolpho gestured the newlyweds to the dining table for a joyful family meal. After all, Adrik is his son-in-law now.

They stayed at the Adolph mansion till sunset, and darkness shrouded the whole sky. Mr. Adolphon saw them out and went back into his house when they left in Adrik's white Rolls-Royce.

Currently, the car had just been packed into Adrik's luxurious, huge mansion. Leia stepped down with her school bag in her left hand, not bothering to wait for the guards to open the door for her. She gazed at the mansion standing in front of her, which looked way better in everything compared to her father's mansion. 

Her eyes abruptly narrowed into a thin line and her hand balled into a tight fist when she recalled her father's words to her. [Do not misbehave, or else... Anyways, enjoy your marriage] A wicked grin crept up her lips, and her dangerous eyes glanced at Adrik, who stood on the other side of the car.

Adrik also stared at her, and she glared at him with cold eyes. Leia took the veil off her head and walked towards the entrance door of the mansion. She ambled inside and abruptly halted. Her eyes dilated and her jaw fell. She thought the outside was beautiful, but my God, the inside was heaven.

The living room was so crowded with splashes of citrus. On the wall stood large, tall windows covered with elegant white curtains that had golden patterns on them. An expensive-looking chandelier decorated with diamonds hung on the ceiling and emitted a bright, luminous light.

In the far distance stood long, wide stairs that would exhaust one before he or she was done climbing them, and on each side of the wall beside the stairs was a glass elevator that showcases whoever is within it.

What awed her the most was the fact that this mansion was completely white, and the furniture and equipment within it were almost white. Leia fluttered her eyes and took a deep breath. She glanced to her side and saw Adrik standing with his hands shoved into his pocket. Her eyes gazed at the gray mask covering his face, and she suddenly had the urge to take it off.

She shook her head and proceeded to walk towards the elevator. However, Adrik's deep voice echoed in her head, stopping her in her track. "I am pretty sure you have no idea where you are going."

Leia turned her head and her harsh eyes glared at him. "Oh... Why don't you show me the way then?" Her lips curled into a vicious grin, and her eyes narrowed.

Adrik slightly arched his brow and shook his head a little. He walked towards her with his hands stuffed into his pocket and stood in front of her. He lowered his head and gazed into her eyes. He was quite taller than she was. A grin formed on his lips behind the mask, and he abruptly grabbed her hand.

Leia's brows puckered and she proceeded to snatch her hand back, but Adrik's grip on her wrist was so strong that she would only be hurting herself if she continued to struggle to free her hand.

Adrik yanked her along with him, and they boarded the glass elevator, which took them to the 2nd floor. The door opened and he gently pulled her out.

They walked through the hallway, which had rooms on its left side and a glass wall on its right side. He halted in front of a white door that had a wolf symbol carved in gold on it.

He turned its knob and pushed it open. Leia's brow creased when he pulled her into the room and shut the door behind them. She arched her brow and stared at him with a displeased expression on her face.

Adrik furrowed his brow in bewilderment and also gazed at her with a little confusion in his eyes. "What?" He stared at her with a slight frown on his face.

Leia drew her head back and a grimace emerged on her face. "Bro, don't tell me you thought I would sleep in the same room as you!" She pointed at him as she said.

Adrik blinked his eyes, clearly dumbstruck by what he had just heard. She called him "Bro!" As in, brother! She fucking called him "bro"!! He took a deep breath to calm himself down and raised his head and gazed deeply into her eyes.

Leia's face turned into a deep frown, and she also stared into his eyes. "Don't tell me, you were expecting me to call your husband." She shook her head in awe. "Wow... such a big dream you have there." She ignored him and picked up her bag, ready to leave the room, but Adrik grabbed her wrists and pushed her against the wall, tossing her bag to the floor.

With both of his hands pinning her to the wall, Adrik breathed heavily. "You are my wife, and I am your husband!" He emphasized with gritted teeth and stared down at her with a darkened face.
