Edmund got me a make up artist and hair stylist to assist me.I'm getting ready for our wedding which is making me anxious. I just laughed at Edmund when he said we were getting married today because I thought he was joking but here it is and it's true. But then, he’s filthy rich and almost everything is possible with money.Wearing a simple yet elegant white dress, my hair was braided in a classy updo.I smiled in front of the mirror after the make-up artist and hair stylist did a good job.Finally, I don't have to act like other people."Are you done?"I flinched when I felt Edmund’s lips on my neck.I had a lot of things going in my mind so I didn’t notice him entering the dressing room.I could feel his chest against my back and his lips playing on the sensitive part of my neck."Hmm... you smell good. Are you ready?"I nodded in surprise after he planted an fleeting kiss on my lips.What?"Come on then."I still felt like I was floating as we walked down the stairs of the hotel’s
The VIP room where Edmund's friends were erupted upon our arrival. There were five of them at the table and the others were familiar to me. And on the table, there was an abundance of dishes and drinks."It's good that you thought to invite us to the celebration even though you didn’t invite us in your wedding!""Oh, the wedding must be done out of haste! With the beauty of the bride, Edmund must be excited for the honeymoon!” said the other man.Laughter erupted as Edmund gave the middle finger to the two men who had taunted him."I just chose not to invite you because it’s a civil wedding. Besides, you might ruin my marriage.”The boys laughed and the girls giggled.Edmund pulled me a chair which got the people in the table surprised. I see they don’t usually see him being chivalrous."Oh you've become a gentleman? Ah, must be Cupid’s work."I smiled lightly.Cupid? Now that sounds ridiculous."Shut up there Kendrick!" he turned to the others. "This is Lily.”I waited for him to int
I have tossed and turned several times in bed but I still don't feel sleepy. It's almost eight o'clock at night but my eyes are still wide awake.Where is Edmund?I looked at the new cellphone he gave me earlier after we had lunch and only then thought of fiddling with it.I changed the default wallpaper to a photo of my foot. When I was satisfied, I then went to the contacts and only two numbers were there; Edmund’ss name and Roy's with a caps lock warning, only talk to them in case of emergency.It's really crazy, Roy has his tail up to dinner, does it look like I'm going to have a text mate?Me:What time will you go home?I didn't get an answer from him so instead of having a bad trip I just dressed in a two piece and covered it with a thick bathrobe.The two bodyguards on the sofa stood up and both looked at my appearance, wondering."Just stay here inside, it's obvious that there's a pool, I'm just going to swim to make me sleepy."They exchanged glances, apparently understandin
"Edmund has left?" I asked the two bodyguards standing at the base of the stairs when I got off the bed the next morning."Yes, he left early. You were told to go somewhere this afternoon.""Did he say where?"He shook his head so I just shrugged.Oh well... How many more days do I have to be here again? It feels like I’m getting stuck her for so long."Breakfast is ready in the garden," Roy greeted me as I entered the dining room."Why?""It's Mr. Edmund's order."I rolled my eyes and followed him out.There is a stone pathway from the kitchen backdoor to the gazebo that stands right in the middle of the garden.I haven't toured the house yet.I thanked Roy who immediately distanced himself to let me eat in peace.I stared at the vast amount of food in front of me, then glanced at my dress as if it didn't fit on such a grand table.The clothes in my closet, if not formal, are too warm for the body. I can't wear lingerie and a nightgown.By the way I forgot to complain to Edmund about
"Hmm... But?"I shook but it was useless because he easily trapped me in his arms.I was leaning on the table full of make-up tools and could hardly move.My heart was beating fast because his gaze seemed to be memorizing every part of my face."Let's go?"My jaw dropped when he willingly walked away from me.Shit, can you just hug me all day?Even against my will, I accepted his outstretched hand. The first time I got there, I immediately felt the roughness. He wasn't satisfied yet because he actually entwined our hands.Now we really look like newlyweds.I almost tortured myself for daydreaming. Just six months and it will all be over.He helped me get on board, the same way I got off the car and my jaw literally dropped because of the plane that appeared before my eyes."Your private plane?" I thought it was the right answer even though I saw the pilot salute us when we both got off the car.He shrugged and immediately wrapped his arms around my thin waist.We climbed the stairs to
My body was limp and I almost didn't have the strength to open my eyes when Edmund dropped me on the sink again. My consciousness was slipping away as he cleaned me with a wet tissue.We stayed there for a while and when I was able to walk a bit, he helped me out. Just in the hallway back to our seat, my face was all red.The comfort room is not far from the seats what if..."The bathroom is sound proof, Lily," Edmund suddenly whispered in the corner of my ear, sending shivers down my spine."I'm ashamed..." I answered in a whisper.He laughed softly and squeezed my swollen cheek.I glared at him.What's so amusing and he's still so happy?"Let's just stay here on the sofa until we land..." he said and supported me towards there.I couldn't do anything when he closed the curtain that divided us and the seats.It's better to be here with him than to eat my shame there."Come here..."I followed him and quietly sat next to him.He was not satisfied with our distance from each other, he
The two of us managed to stay calm until we got back to the hotel. I was still planning to go for a walk but since Edmund was being grumpy, I'll just rest and gather my strength because tomorrow I'll be going on a tour.I don't know how many days we will stay here.I turned to Edmund to ask a question, but I swallowed when I saw that he was unfastening his leather belt.I straightened up sitting on the bed and removed the strap of my high heels.After taking off his pants and top, I saw in my peripheral vision him approaching the curtain that covered the wall and opened it. Now we can see the lights of the city on the left and the peaceful sea on the right.I can't help but think of him body that I can't look at. The muscles are in the right position, one look and you’d know he did so much work out.I untied my hair and ran my fingers through it.I glanced at Edmund again who turned on the TV before I entered the walk in closet. It was also connected to the bathroom so I had no troubl
"Are you alright?" he asked as he helped me out of the restaurant.While I couldn't get rid of his grin, I kept my head down and kept looking away from the people because I felt they knew what we did.Instead of answering, I just continued walking while biting my lip that was about to bleed.I tried to remain silent until we reached the room.Only now I was hit with shame because I don't know how I happened to give in to just a few of his touches. We did 'that' in the comfort room of the restaurant it was embarrassing!"You're so quiet, I'm not used to you being like that." he said while removing the watch.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that he put it on the bedside table but I just looked at him and sneered.I said goodbye to just take a half bath before we set off on the road trip he wanted.He was constantly talking about my shorts and sleeveless top while we were in the car.The bodyguards are still in convoy but there is a distance from us. They are always like that, just ha
