Chapter 25 Why did we get married 1

Liam and Lukas both sat on the table. "Carie!" Lukas greeted "Lukas?" Carie said without looking at his face, this made Lukas chuckle as he turned his gaze on me, but I kept a livid face and stared back at him. Any one would be startled by my actions but Lukas kept his cool.

I felt a strong glare coming from Alex's corner and when I turned to look it was true. Alex's face was as dark as the night sky as he glared at me and his innocent shirt I wore. I gulped softly at this, as I returned my gaze back to my food.

"It's nice to finally meet you sister in-law!" Lukas said, since I never acknowledged his presence. It's not my fault my naughty husband could not do a normal introduction. 'But for the few minutes he's been here, he doesn't seem evil', I thought to myself. But I had to keep the promises I made to carie, so I said nothing to Lukas and I continued to eat in silence.

"Hazel are you okay?" I heard Alex ask in a cold tone. "I'm not talking to this guy in front of me!" I said to Alex in a serious tone. "And may I ask why?" Lukas asked this time with a smile. "I don't talk to assholes!" I said to him, and he laughed out loud "I can see a plot, but don't worry honey you'd come around. Who knows, you might need tips on how to own my brothers heart!" He gave me a sweet smile and started eating. Why do I need tips for that? I thought to myself.

"Gius go prepare a room for Lukas on the second floor!" Alex ordered the butler standing at a corner. "Yes master!" Gius bowed and left the dinning room. "Did you receive the wedding invitation from Berverly and Carlos!" Lukas said to Alex "Yes I think I did but not sure if I'ld go to the party!" Alex said with a nonchalant expression on his face. "Don't you feel wierd?" Lukas asked him with a serious expression. 

"No she can do whatever she wants I don't care anymore!" Alex said with a hint of anger but was still eating his food. "Who's Berverly?" I asked Carie in a whisper. It was obvious they were talking about her. "She's Alex's ex?" Carie said briefly, I could tell she was not in a mood for conversations. "Oh..!" I said and continued eating. I don't know why but I felt sad hearing about this, even if these Beverly was getting married it still felt like Alex was still in love with her. I thought to myself as I tried to wave the thought of my head.

'Focus Hazel' I said to myself. "Don't you think it's wrong talking about Alex's ex in the presence of his wife?" Carie looked at Lukas and he smiled at her. I was shocked by her sudden question "Carie I'm fine!" I gave a reassuring smile "Stop lying to yourself Hazel no woman likes when her husbands ex is being talked about in her presence!" She said to me and walked away.

Why was she making a big deal out of nothing, Aurgh... Carie was totally going to kill me in this house. I'm fully aware, this is a contract marriage and it was stated that Alex could do whatever he wanted. No questions asked, but I on the other hand would remain faithful to him till he decides to get a divorce. 

I sighed in resignation, it was so obvious she was looking for the slightest chance to attack Lukas.  

Alex said nothing about what was happening, as he continued eating as if no one talked. "Excuse me!" I said as I walked out of the dinning room, to carie's room.

"Why'd you react that way it was not a big deal really!" I sat on her bed. "Of course it's not a big deal to someone who knows nothing about what's going on, have you ever asked your husband why he married you?" Lily asked in an angry tone.
