Darker Shades of Obsession

'No sooner met but they looked, no sooner looked but they loved, no sooner loved but they sighed, no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason, no sooner knew the reason, but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.’

William Shakespeare.

Prologue

"Do you take Angelina Adenike Walters as your lawful wife?" the minister asked.

"I do," he replied curtly, looking at nothing in particular as his eyes void any emotions he was feeling.

The minister turned to the bride and asked, "do you take Nathaniel Xander Hugh as your lawful husband?" her heart skipped a little, staring at her unresponsive husband to face before responding in a crooked voice, "I do."

"With the power of God, I declare both of you as husband and wife. You may kiss your bride," the minister pronounced.

Her stranger husband moved to her slowly, opened her white veil a little as he tilted his head to the right side, and she closed her eyes expectantly, waiting for his cold lips to hers, but a gush of air passed through her face.

She fluttered, and her eyes opened to know what was delaying him, but she was left alone at the altar, humiliated.

He left her.

She was just a replacement.

Chapter 1

People always say first love is a lesson, but last love is true love, and Nathaniel did not believe it because his first and last love was Clara Adrian.

His only woman.

Clara was the granddaughter of his nanny, Mrs Adrian. He and Clara practically grew up together from diapers, and they went to the same schools. And they'd promised to get married when they grow up till old together with their child(ren).

She was mine, and I was hers only. He thought, smiling widely while twirling the diamond ring.

All his reasons and actions revolved around her. Anything she wanted or said, he agreed to it without batting an eyelash because she was the only one who understood him better, and he loved her so much with every fibre of his being. She was like the oxygen he breathed in.

His twenty-six birthday was a fortnight ago, and she told him she was ready to become his lawful wife, and he proposed to her, feeling over the moon. She was a firm belie
