"Ma'am, is there anything you want me to do for you," He asked,
"I would love a tub of vanilla ice cream," I said.
I slowly entered my room and went directly to the shower, the room was exquisite. It was huge with beautiful interior designs. I scrubbed my body clean washing off all the make-up and whatever dirt that stuck to my hair and when I felt like I was clean enough I stepped out of the shower and dried up my body up, I dried my hair and pulled It up in a messy bun and kept the hairpins in my jewelry box, I kept my wedding dress at the far end of the room. I would wash it later
The butler came in with my ice cream and I dug in. When the first taste hit my tongue and the refreshing coldness hit my whole body, I couldn't help the moan that escaped from my mouth.
I strolled through the channels for something interesting to watch in my room but nothing was interesting. I left it at some random channel for the background noise and indulged myself with my phone, It doesn't look like I got married.
The distant sound of my alarm woke me up. My goodness, I slept off. After a solid minute of looking at the alarm, I groaned loudly and forced myself to get up. I wanted to take a shower and see if he was still at home. I got out of the shower and wore a blue knee-length gown. What if he gets angry?, what was wrong with me, I slept for a long time. It's 5:47 in the morning
A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts
"Good morning ma, master Damion wants to see you" Damion? It seems that's his name, I can't ask who Damion is. What type of wife would I be if I ask the maid, a wife that doesn't know the name of her husband
I followed the maid down the stairs to the sitting room.
"Sir, she's here" Damion was his name. He motioned for me to sit
"Good Morning," I said briefly before sitting on the couch
We'll be going public, with our relationship status. My grandfather will soon be discharged and I don't want him to get suspicious. His grandfather and my grandfather are friends and basically, they planned the marriage. I have mentally prepared myself to brace for the worst ever since it became clear to me that I disgust Damion.
"So when will we announce our marriage?" I said calmly waiting for a reply
He looked thoughtfully for a moment before saying
"Today." He bent over to pull something out of his drawer
"Here. This is my grandmother's ring that goes down from generation to generation, so don't lose it"
He gave me a beautiful vintage tiny box. I carefully took it from his hands and opened it. I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. What I was looking at was the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. It was a stunning diamond ring. I plucked it from its haven and looked over at Damion feeling like I was violating everything in his lineage by touching the ring
I gently slipped the ring onto my finger.
"I'll take my leave now, Clara will provide you with everything you need, she is your maid but if you need more assistants, feel free to send anyone of your choice," He said and left without waiting for a response
When I was done eating breakfast, I walked around the villa with Clara by my side. I went outside the building and take a good look at it. The villa was huge and beautiful, I fell in love with the garden immediately. It was a lot bigger than the one we have at home.
After admiring the house, I discovered there was a library and got myself a book to read. I went to my room directly and after reading for a long time, I fell asleep
.....
In the evening, Damion came home and the head butler went to greet him as he took his coat from him and placed it in its place.
Damion asked the butter about his wife, Emily
"Master, she is sleeping in her room"
Damion squinted his eyes as he said, "Sleeping?"
Bulter hesitantly replied "Yes Master."
Damion went upstairs, to check on her if she was sick of something. She slept all through the day yesterday till this morning and now she's asleep. And it's only because he doesn't want his grandfather to be worried and 'nothing else'.
When he reached the first floor in front of her room, he knocked but nobody replied so he opened the door slightly.
When he went inside he saw her by the bed sleeping, with a book and blankets on the ground and she curled her body like a ball, she was sleeping like a baby who was afraid and insecure
Seeing her like this, his expression softened
He reached to cover her with a blanket. And when he touched her forehead to check her body temperature he felt her smooth skin and it was the first time he watched her so close. Today in the sitting room, she disgusted him but know there was a new feeling.
Her big eyes were closed as she was sleeping and her large small eyelashes were making her small fair face more beautiful.
Her face was so small that her whole face can be gasped into her hands.
He looked at her slightly pink face and thought to himself, 'she looks so beautiful when she's asleep
As she was sleeping while he continued to caress her face, she suddenly opened her eyes and caught his hands
He was caught off guard and to hide his embarrassment he said, "why are you still sleeping? Was it not enough for you to sleep throughout the day yesterday and now you're still sleeping? You couldn't do anything with your time. So lazy."
