I smirked, playfully tilting my head to the side. Akira squinted her eyes for a brief moment before realization hit her. We burst into laughter as I waggled my eyebrows.
“What did you expect? It was my wedding night after all.” I cooed, taking a sip of my drink.
“Well, give me the tea! How did it go? Did it hurt or did you enjoy it? Your freaky ass probably enjoyed all that pain, too.” Akira rambled.
“It was everything you could imagine. He ate me out until I came so hard that I was seeing stars. Then when he put that huge dick of his inside of me, I swear he was ripping me apart. It hurt so bad yet so good. It was amazing. We fell asleep in each other’s arms and he woke me up with his mouth sucking on my toes.”
Akira fanned herself. “Oh, he a freak freak. Get it then, bestie!”
As we continued to laugh and joke, I saw my phone vibrating with a facetime call from Cindy.
“Hey!” Cindy sang out with Sandy behind her waving frantically. “Hold up, is that Akira with you?”
I shifted my phone, allowing K to wave at the pair. “Hey, ladies!”
“Where are yall?” Cindy asked, scrunching up her eyebrows.
“Oh, we uh, we’re in Vegas.”
“Vegas?” Cindy and Sandy shouted together. “What the heck are you doing back there? I thought you were in Philly to visit your grandma.”
“It was a spare of the moment type of thing,” Akira chimed in.
The pair stared at us and waited for an explanation. A part of me didn’t want to tell them anything, but I couldn’t figure out why. Cindy, Sandy, Akira, and I havebeen really good friends for months and we always told each other everything. Well, with the exception of my prior arranged marriage with Mr. L.
I sighed. “Long story short, I got married.”
The pair stared at me in disbelief before they burst out into laughter. “Good one, Addy, but seriously, what’s going on?”
Rolling my eyes, I took out the marriage certificate with me and Seojun’s name on it. Cindy and Sandy’s eyes grew wide. I heard the sound of someone taking a picture before the line disconnected. What the hell was that? Before I could ask, someone had grabbed my arm and yanked me out of my seat.
“Seojun?”
“How the fuck do you know Cindy and Sandy?”
My eyebrows furrowed as I turned to look at Akira. Raheem had a grip on her arm too.
“Addison, don’t make me ask you again.” Seojun said through gritted teeth.
“T-they are my friends I met in school. Seojun, you are hurting my arm!”
His nostrils flared as his voice lowered into a growl. “I am going to do far worse than hurt your fucking arm. You betrayed me!”
“What?’
Ignoring me, Seojun dropped my arm. “I should’ve known your ass was too good to be true. Here I was thinking I found someone I could see myself with for the long haul and the whole time she’s been backstabbing me.”
“Seojun, what the fuck are you talking about?” I shouted, throwing my hands on my hips.
“It doesn’t matter,” he continued, ignoring me. “This shit was only temporary. Hell, the only reason I chose you was because you have Reaper blood. If yourgrandfather hadn’t been the former leader and my dad haden’t made a deal with him, then your ass wouldn’t even be here.”
“W-what?”
That’s what my grandmother was trying to tell me when she was telling me about grandpa Ernest. Throughout my life, I heard bits and pieces of the Reapers, but I would have never thought my family would be involved. Even with this new knowledge, it made my heart plummet that Seojun only wanted me because of a deal. Balling my hands into fists, I lifted my chin.
“And I only married you to pay off my grandmother’s debt. I guess we’re both even.”
Seojun’s nostrils flared as he glared down at me.“Raheem, get my wife and her friend on the plane. I’ll be there in a moment.” He ordered with disdain.
