Sealed.

The dark, quiet room made it impossible to think someone could be inside and even though the bed was soft and comfortable, Olivia kept tossing throughout the night. She chucked the duvet to the other end and snapped her eyes open.

A little yawn escaped her lips and she ran a hand into her hair. Olivia was having a mixed feeling, and it was making her go nuts.

The week had moved by so quickly and the wedding day had arrived. Once it was 6am, she knew her mom was going to walk into her room to wake her up.

For a second, she felt unexplained butterflies in her stomach but the next minute, it was a fair share of fear and nervousness radiating through her.

Was she doing the right thing? How will her life be after marriage, huh? She asked herself these unanswered questions.

She ruffled her hair one more time and took a deep breath. Overthinking wasn't going to solve anything, so she decided to shrug the thoughts in her head and concentrate on the present.

Olivia adjusted herself on her bed and dragged the duvet to cover herself while she tried to get some sleep before the dawn of the day and fortunately, nature took over her.

A heavy knock on the door woke her up and she jumped out of bed while her heart skipped. She took a deep breath and moved towards the door.

The moment she opened it, she sighted her mom standing with her hands on her waist. "You know what day it is, pumpkin." Jane uttered and walked into the room while Olivia closed the door.

"I know, mom. I have been thinking about this day throughout the week." Olivia added with a low tone.

Jane held her hand, and they moved closer to the bed and sat on it. "I know this isn't how you planned your life, but I feel this is for the better." Jane cooed and caressed her hand.

"I hope so, but he has been acting cold right from the first day. Is it just me? Or-"

"That's how he is. There is nothing wrong with you, my dear. You two are perfect for each other, no wonder Kayla wanted this. Just try to be a good wife, okay," Jane added in a cracked voice like she was about shedding tears.

Olivia hugged her instantly while she rested her head on her shoulder. "I will definitely miss you, mom. I hope I can visit occasionally." Olivia added, and Jane stroked her hair.

"Of course," Jane replied, and they unlocked the hug.

After some hours, Aiden had already sent a few of his men to bring the Griffins to the wedding venue.

Olivia had a makeup artist do wonders on her face and the wedding dress fit her body so well like a second skin, making her curves evident. She stood in front of the mirror and stared at her reflection for the second time, and deep down, she felt she was a complete work of art.

"You look gorgeous, darling." Her mom cooed and a tear of joy rolled down her face. "Let's go, it is 9am already." Her mom said and Olivia nodded.

They left the house instantly while heading for the church and that feeling of anxiety was beginning to take its place within her. Olivia sniffed the air and tried to calm herself.

The moment they arrived at the wedding venue, she sighted the fleet of cars parked at the other end, and she knew Aiden was inside. She wasn't imagining anything, it was indeed going to happen.

Griffin held her hand and walked with her into the hall, while she felt her palm become sweaty.

Everyone who came was seated and immediately Olivia entered, they all turned to look at her direction as she walked down the aisle with her stepfather.

Her face was covered with a white sheer veil. Her heart kept racing as she couldn't deny the fact that she was nervous.

Immediately he got to the altar, Griffin left her there and moved to sit in the front row with his wife.

Olivia looked keenly at the man who was going to be her official husband in a few minutes. Aiden was wearing a white suit and surrounded with a cold aura as usual, but that didn't stop her from admiring how handsome he was.

"We gather here today to witness the joining of these two beautiful couples, and with the power vested in me, I will proceed." The Reverend father announced, and the place was filled with silence.

"Olivia Griffin, do you take Aiden Leandro to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, from this day forward until death do you part?"

"Yes, I do." Olivia answered.

The Reverend father repeated the same words to Aiden, and he reluctantly replied with a "Yes I do."

"Ring please," he mentioned and Aiden pulled it out from his pocket and opened it. He wore the ring on her finger, and Olivia did the same.

"And with the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The Reverend father proclaimed, and Olivia widened her eyes while the rate of her heartbeat increased.

Aiden stepped closer and raised the veil covering her face. There and then, their gaze bore into each other, while he took a few more steps, with no space left between them.

He bent close to her while she closed her eyes instantly, Aiden locked his lips with hers, and she felt a certain emotion she had never felt before.

The kiss was brief and quick and the moment he moved away, everyone began to cheer.

A little smile displayed at the corners of his lips as he intertwined their hands and walked out of the church with her. But that cold expression of his replaced the smile he had on his face a few seconds ago, and he gently let go of her hand.

Now that they were officially married, what would happen at night, huh? Would he want a steamy, naughty night? Does he like it rough? Oh, heavens!

The fact that she was a virgin with no experience was another thing she was worried about. What if he finds her inexperienced and wouldn't want to do anything with her again? What if she becomes too scared and panicked during…

Olivia shook her head as a shiver ran down her spine. She had totally forgotten that she also has a bedroom duty as a wife apart from granting Kayla's dying wish.
