Loveless Marriage?

“Is it true?” I asked softly watching the sunset in the large balcony. I could feel his presence in the room. I was a nervous wreck.

“What (name)?” Even in this moment I loved his husky voice.

I forced myself to turn around and face those intense golden eyes. They were my weakness above all. Once our eyes met, his showed a glint of concern.

“Is true…” I summoned up all the courage I had. My voice was trembling “t-that you married me without loving me?” His eyes widened

“Why do you think…?” I stopped him raising my hand. I smiled bitterly. So… he didn´t deny it.
“I heard your conversation with Jafar” I was about to cry.

All the moments were lies, all the caresses, all the hugs, all the kisses were completely fake, all the nights… all the nights that we… God! I have been living in a fucking lie for 2 years. How dense could I be! How couldn´t I notice this before? To think that the almighty King of the Seven Seas could love me… He could be really manipulative if he wanted

My eyes wondered around the room, wanting nothing more than be away from my husband. Everything was falling apart around me.

“(Name)…” It seemed like he was panicking inside “It was for the sake of Sindria and (your country) but…”

Before I knew it my hand slap his face as hard as I could. I felt so humiliated… but above all heartbroken. He looked at me as if he didn´t believe what I just did.

“You didn´t have to play with my feelings like that” I remarked almost crying “Do you even imagine how I feel? To realise that your spouse has been faking loving you all your marriage…” I held his eyes with the courage I had “Did you have fun?!” My tears began to flow. I breathed deeply, trying to control myself. I had only one more thing to say “I want the divorce”

I walked to the exit even with my vision blurred by tears and being a sobbing mess. He didn´t even try to stop me. Not calling me, neither chasing me. Even after two years… It was true that he didn´t even care for me

It´s been two months since that day. I come back to (country name). I didn´t want to be in Sindria´s palace. There were so many memories and they were too painful now. No one asked any question at my arrival. My family guessed something has happened with Sinbad.

I was in the palace´s garden, walking through the exotic plants. It was relaxing and it helped me to almost forget why I was here…

Almost

I was so busy admiring the beautiful flowers that I hardly heard the soft footsteps behind me.
“(Name)” My eyes widened. That voice… It cannot be…

I turn around as fast as I could just to meet piercing golden eyes. He was even more handsome than I remember. I almost forgot how to breathe and my heart started racing wildly. Why did he have such an effect on me?

“You…” I didn´t know what to say. Although I still loved him, I was mad at him “What are you doing here?”

“To talk to my wife” he seemed so full of confident. I didn´t like that “I want to explain myself”

“Too bad, she doesn´t want to talk to you” If he really believed that I was dumb enough to fall for his charms once again, he was very wrong.

I started leaving the place when a hand grasped my wrist. It pulled me to his strong and tall figure. I disliked this. I disliked the way my heart beats just because he is near me. I disliked the fact that his smell was intoxicating my senses. And I absolutely hated my desire of kissing him till our lips hurt despite knowing that he didn´t love me.

“Hear me out” And he spoke so quietly, so softly that my tears began to flow.

“I can´t” I sobbed. His eyes widened as they saw my tears. I looked away “Knowing that you don´t return my feelings is one thing but hearing you say it… Is too much for me to…”

“I love you” I lift my head when I heard him saying those word. My eyes were like plates. He had never said those words to me “I do love you (Name)”

“Stop playing games Sinbad” I mustered trying to escape from his firm grip. He pulled me nearer to him.

“I´m not playing” His face was so serious “It is true that when I married you I didn´t love you. But as time passed, as we shared more and more moments, I could help but fall in love with you. I´m sorry I´d never told you”

“Sinbad” It was the only thing I could whisper.

“Please (Name)” he said caressing my cheek and wiping my tears “Believe me”

I nodded. He smiled at me gently and then he pressed his lips with mine. God! How I missed him! My hands travel to his hair while his went to my hair and my waist. His tongue forced his way into my mouth not wasting time nor asking permission. I didn´t how long we stood there making out, but when we parted a thick line of saliva connected our lips. He look at me with such an intensity I thought I could melt there. He took me bride style and started walking.

“Where are we going?” I asked. My heart was going to explode. He only gave me another passionate and breath-taking kiss that blew my mind away. Then he whispered huskily in my ear.
