Chapter 225 - Two Hundred And Twenty-five: I Had To Do This (2/2)

”Then we need to get married quickly. The later we wait, the more rumors are to arise if you give birth prematurely to a perfectly healthy child,” he saw deep into the future which warmed Emily's heart. She just hoped he extends this little affection he has for her to the unborn child too.

”When do you want us to get married?” She inquired, hoping to arrange it. That was the least she could do to thank him for everything he has done for her.

”Tomorrow. If that's alright with you?”

”Huh?” That quickly? How was she going to plan the invitation? Catering? Her wedding gown?

”I would clear my schedule and then we would go to the civil bureau tomorrow and get our marriage certificate. Then, my PA would plan the wedding afterward,” he disclosed his plans to her.

Emily's eyes dimmed, she forgot she was having a shotgun marriage and a loveless one at that - she almost suggested they plan the wedding together.

Fine, she would take what was given to her. He has tried enough for her, not everyone was this accommodating.

Ahmed's eyes rested on her face,

”Why are you sweating?”

Oh right!

”I took the drugs too,” was her response which made him mad.

”Why would you do such a thing? You almost risked the life of your child!” He reprimanded her.

”It was to make it easier sleeping with...” She didn't need to finish the rest of her words because the look on his face told her he understood it all.

”So where's the antidote?” He stretched out his hand expectedly.

Emily frowned,” I don't understand,”

”The cure to his heat spreading through my body,” he pointed to the beads of sweat on his forehead.

”Urm, the cure is the joining of our 'you know',” she pursed her lips, looking everywhere but at him.

Ahmed blushed,” There has to be another way,”

”This was bought from the black market and is uncertified,” she pointed out.

”You're saying if I don't sleep with you to wear off this drug, there would be side effects?” He queried, she nodded.

”No, that's not going to happen,” he shook his head.

Emily's face fell, ”Why? You don't desire me because I'm a used product?”

”No, that's not what I'm saying- God damn it, you're a beautiful woman, Emily- you're still grieving the love of your life,” he said.

”We are getting married tomorrow and as my husband, it's expected that you'd demand your nuptial right and I'm sure, you wouldn't want to wait four years for me to end my grieving process,” she added,” I need to move on and this would help me recover quicker,”

Then Emily slid her arm around his neck, lowered his head, and kissed him. At first, Ahmed didn't respond but when the fire traveled to his groin, his primal instinct took over.

A man would always be a man, Ahmed forgot his self-control he had been holding onto a few minutes ago, deciding to eat the meal set before him.

”I'm sorry Judy but I hope you understand why I had to do this,” Emily said mentally.
