What happens now?
My marriage had been thoroughly consummated. Would he want to do it again? Was this the end? Did I want him to do it again?
Sitting in the bathroom wondering things like this sucks. I took a deep breath and stood up. I was just going to act like the whole thing never happened. No one lived in their first sex anymore.
I took another deep breath.
Maybe I needed a bath.
The bath didn’t help, I still felt his hands everywhere. My insides felt empty now that neither his hands, tongue, or cock was in it.
I grabbed my towel and tiptoed into the closet. There was this short and beautiful purple gown staring at me.
It looked more beautiful on me, it was a bit low-necked, revealing my cleavage and making my breasts seem a bit bigger. I loved my ass in it more. I felt sexy. Maybe that could be attributed to the fact that I just had sex. Wait! Would Alexandro think I wore this dress to seduce him?
Nah, he wouldn’t think so. The neckline magically seemed lower and too revealing. I peeled off the dress and turned to find something else to wear.
I wasn’t freaking out.
I chose a pair of blue suit pants that seemed off-limits enough and wore a nice black top on them. I felt a bit bolder now that I was dressed.
I opened the door to find the bed empty. Where was Alexandro?
The sound of a shower coming from the bathroom was enough information. Did he take a towel? He wasn’t going to come off there naked, would he?
I wouldn’t freak out. This would go smoothly.
Then he came out, surprisingly, he came out fully dressed, down to his tie. One wouldn’t have guessed he just took a bath except that his hair was still wet. And it was the perfect way to break the ice in me.
“Hey, want me to help dry your hair?” I asked, rubbing my sweaty palms against each other before cleaning them with my pants.
He didn’t say a word, just sat on the chair and faced the mirror, I got the dryer working and stood beside him.
It was going well at first, we were both silent and I gave his hair all my concentration. I loved how he felt under my hands, soft, wet, a bit dry so I decided to have a bit of my oil. I expected him to complain but he didn’t. I loved how it would make him smell like a woman. I started to feel uncomfortable when I looked into the mirror and found him looking at me. It was a look I couldn’t read, one that wasn’t often on his face. I looked away, trying to ignore that he was looking at me and hoped he would look away but every time I took my eyes up, I found them still staring at me, then finally he spoke up.
“How do you feel?” He asked. His voice had a bit of ice in it, and I couldn’t tell if he was merely trying to be a gentleman or if he cared.
“I’m fine.” I shrugged.
He only nodded at that. He was about to say something when the doorbell rang and his staff came in putting a very long cart, covered with white linen and my stomach churned just at the sight.
French people seemed to like everything magical. One of them ceremonially drew off the linen that waved beautifully in the hair as my meal was revealed to me. The aroma of different delicacies filled the air and I couldn’t wait to much down food.
My mind had left the fact that I just had sex with Alexandro King just at the sight of food. I was fine.
I dropped the dryer and made to walk towards the food because God I was starving.
Except that Alexandro’s hands drew me back as he stood up in a flash and wrapped his arms around me, holding my hands down with his arms before he whispered into my ears. “A little patience, milady.”
It was then I noticed that they were also setting a table and had brought in the chairs. This charade was getting too long. Alexandro’s arms were still on me and I was starting to feel ticklish. His breath against my neck was bringing back the thoughts of his breath as they trailed over other parts of me.
I held my breath, trying to take his touch and willing myself not to react to it. I couldn’t let myself get to his touch, it would be bad if I got to the point where I began to crave his hands on me.
Like he could read my thoughts and wanted the opposite, he licked and bit down on my neck. I couldn’t hold in the moan. I tried to keep it down but as soon as everyone’s head turned to me, I knew I didn’t.
I jerked myself out of his arms and heard a few chuckles. It was embarrassing. He stood there with a small smile on his face looking bold and triumphant. I hated myself.
I stormed outside to the pool.
It was so annoying, I wished I could swim, just dive into the water and let it cool my mood. Is this why women couldn’t help being sluts? They couldn’t control their body? What made me different from them? Alexandro was my husband, but it was definitely in name only. He was technically my boss. I just had sex with my boss.
“Would you rather eat outside? I could ask them to move it here.” Alexandro’s voice broke me from my thoughts.
I shook my head to say no and made my way back inside, but he blocked me. I moved to the left, trying to evade his broad body but he blocked me again.
I turned to the right, but he moved in sync with me, blocking me at every turn till I stopped and watched to see what he would do, my eyes unable to meet his, I only stared at the tile and my foot.
“Look at me,” Alexandro commanded, he used that tone, the one he knew I feared and wouldn’t dare deny.
“I’ll eat inside,” I said at last.
The meal was slow and silent. We didn’t exchange words and my thoughts were all on how different my body felt.
Soon it was evening, and I took a bath and slept. He didn’t sleep next to me.
EMILY KING“Try this on.” One of the ladies said the words cheerfully but before I could respond or even take a good look a the dress, another lady pushed a pink dress in front of my face, “This would blend perfectly with your skin tone, why don’t you try it instead.”I looked up to see the room crowded with all sorts of people, clothes, shoes, and jewelry. How dare Alexandro leave me with this?Like the night of my wedding, I woke up alone but at least, then I had woken up to Chloe’s smiling face. I even had Baxter, but these people? They were worse than a mob“Hmm, can I have my phone?” I called, a frail-looking girl had come this morning and introduced herself as my assistant all through my stay in France. She was nothing like Chloe and I was scared she would faint as she walked.She ran to me, stretching her hands through the crowd it passed my phone to me. My patience had begun to run out but I managed to take the phone from her. I dialed Alexandro.“Excuse me.” I smiled patientl
He hadn’t let go of my fingers which he had kissed, I tugged but he held it tight, and I raised a brow at him.“Just testing how jealous your husband can get.” He smiled.“Who are you?” I asked directly, there was no need to introduce myself because he already knew me, but he had refused to tell me his name or let go of my hands.“Ahh, you’re not the shy kind, when I heard King got a bride, I expected someone calm and docile, willing to do everything he asks.” He shot at me.I raised a brow, “Well, you thought wrong. Let go of me.” I snapped because I was getting angry. I was nice to him earlier because he was handsome, but his words were pissing me off. I wasn’t exactly angry with him, I was angry with the man who dragged me to France but now refused to show his face.I didn’t want to ask his whereabouts because it would seem like I couldn’t stay on my own without him.“Elliot, I think you’ve held my wife’s hands for long enough.” My Husband found the right time to show his very hand
“I must say, it pleases me that Alexandro has finally decided to settle down,” I said the words with his eyes on me even though Alexandro was sitting by his side. It was the same with his daughter who didn’t spare me a glance but her eyes were for my husband.I smiled and nodded, “I heard most people were surprised.” I said the words easily, playing with my bare fingers, not knowing I was only drawing attention to it.“You aren’t wearing your wedding band.” Ian raised his brow at me, he had acknowledged that Alexandro was wearing his.“Yes, why aren’t you wearing your wedding band.” Alexandro echoed the question and I rolled my eyes internally.“I was hoping I would pass off as a single woman,” I said the words boldly but internally my heart was fainting. I considered apologizing but it would only make it public knowledge that I was afraid of my husband.Ian laughed, “It would seem like Alexandro the Great has finally met his match.” I was partially relieved when Alexandro laughed too
Our shopping trip had to be postponed till the next day because Alexandro had plans for that day. There was no party, but we went around and met people. I was officially Mrs. King.At a point I felt useless, I didn’t know much about the financial world, and I thought of learning but I reminded myself that I didn’t belong to this world and would soon be out of it.I had to keep myself under control and make sure I left the place unscattered.But even as I tried to keep myself under control, Paris kept throwing surprises at me. Alexandro was different. Like he was another person entirely.“Why didn’t you wear your ring.” He asked, surprisingly he didn’t sound angry. It was like he just wanted to know.“I forgot,” I said honestly.“They’re never supposed to be out of your finger.”“Even while I bath?”“Even while you bathe, they’re not fake, what are you afraid of?”I nodded. “I’ll keep that in mind.”“Are you sure about going out with Elena? I thought you didn’t like her.” He raised his
“You should be more careful next time,” I warned as I bent to pick up the key. “What if there’s no one to help?” I stood and stretched the keys to her. “Here.”She didn’t move to collect it, instead, she stood there, tears gathering in her eyes. “I’m sorry.” She muttered.“What do you mean?” I asked, confused.I received my explanation when the van door slid open, the van covered the view of the people in the building. No one would see what was about to happen. Not even the CCTV. Fear gripped me, from deep down my bones.Two men dressed in black alighted from the vehicle and stood by my sides. The front mirror slid down to reveal the face of a man in a dark glass, unlike the others, he wasn’t wearing a mask. I could see his smile. It was like he was enjoying this moment, or maybe the anticipation of what was to come.“Hi, Mrs. Emily King. We would like to borrow you for a moment.” He said, still smiling. “Don’t you dare scream?” His smile vanished on his last sentence, and his face dr
ALEXANDRO.“You said what?” I was taken aback.“I swear I have nothing to do with this. We were in the fabric store, then she asked to get her phone in the car, then I didn’t see her again. She didn’t come back. My car key was in the car. The car was opened.” Elena said frantically, scared that I would blame her. “She just disappeared.“What are you trying to say? That she sneaked away from you?” I asked coldly. I was stupid to let Emily leave the hotel with Elena. I had forgotten… I hadn’t expected Elena to be so careless.I met Ian halfway. “I’ll need your…”He didn’t let me finish, “You can have it. We’ll find your wife. I promise.”I nodded. We all set out to the place they had bought the clothes but that was where things started to get a little bit tough. Their CCTV had a glitch, it was still all through the hour Emily was in there.I began to panic slightly. Sweat broke out on my forehead as I imagined what she could be going through at that moment.I received a call from Ian. “
EMILY“Wake up pretty.” Rough fingers poked my head.I hadn’t been asleep. It had been so dark I had to close my eyes and pretend that was the reason why I was in the dark. Because I closed my eyes.I opened my eyes to see a little light in the car, it was low and blue. I couldn’t see around clearly.“Emily, I have a proposition for you.” He began.I cut him off, “And I want to see my husband.”“It doesn’t work that way, sweetheart.” He murmured, moving closer to me. I shrank away from his touch. “Now my proposition. Not too far from here is a purple warm room, as pretty as you and very comfortable. Do you want to spend your time with me in it or you’d prefer this car?” He baited.It was a bait, “Why?” I asked.“You’ll have to promise me that you’ll be obedient.” He said smiling, his eyes dilating like a man on drugs.“I’d rather stay here.” I frowned. I was sure there would be no benefit to staying in a comfortable room with this bastard. And for some reason, I knew it would be a dar
I didn’t know how they knew I was back, but everyone was waiting for me outside.Even the driver was shocked at the crowd outside the hotel.Alexandro King was nowhere till be found, until I sighted him, running to me. He wrapped his arms around me, squeezing life at of me until I coughed.Finally, he pulled back to take a good look at me. “I’m never letting you out of my sight.”“It’s good to see you back, Emily. You had me worried for a moment.” Ian said.Elena’s eyes were wet and swollen, she had been crying. “I’m so sorry.”I gave her a small smile. “It wasn’t your fault.” But I held on to Alexandro tightly, he was the only one I could trust at that moment.I was surprised when he scooped me up, carrying me in bridal style to our suit.Everyone parted the way for us, I was glad to be home, I knew measures would be taken to find Ivan, I was torn wishing they apprehend him and wishing they didn’t. Although, even if they did, he’d belong more in the psychiatric ward than behind bars.
