Chapter 3 ~ A Scared Bride

*CATHY'S POV *

The house was more beautiful inside. Entering the house there was a marble floored hall and in the center there was a small sitting area where there were 4 couches and a small glass table. There were many pictures of Mr and Mrs. Wayne and their only son Alexander.

Rodrigo was behind me while Berney was in front of me, showing me the house. He showed me the living room, the kitchen, some guests' rooms and then we went up the stairs to the first floor. Rodrigo already excused us to go because Alexander needed him in the company.

Berney showed me to the room, which was a light pinkish color. There was a big chandelier on the center and a big round bed with baby pink bedsheets. There was a huge balcony with big glass doors. It was still noon, and the sun rays perfectly beamed into the room.

"This is your room Mrs.Wayne. Master preferred you liked light colors, so we chose pink. If you want any changes, please let me know." Berney said smilingly.

"The room is beautiful. I-I am okay with it." I said politely. "And please call me Catherine," I said. I don't want an old man calling me miss. It feels weird. Thankfully, he nodded, giving me a short smile. He then called a female maid from outside into the room.

"This is Kelly, Your personal maid. She will assist you with everything." Kelly bowed to me, and I gave her a wry smile.

"Then please excuse me, Miss Catherine. If you need anything, you can call me, Kelly, or any other maid you like."

I nodded, and he left. Kelly made a bath for me and came out of the bathroom and asked me if I wanted her help in the bath. I refused.

She then blushed and said, "Master has prepared something for you." I looked at her with a confused expression.

"It's in the bathroom. You can wear it after the shower." She bowed and left.

I was alone finally, I like to be alone more than in crowds. It makes me uncomfortable. I took off my dress and the jewelry and placed it on the makeup parlor.

I went to the bathroom and carefully stepped into the round,big bathtub. The water was warm and I really enjoyed my bath. I used the flower scented shampoo and pink rose soap.

I cleaned myself with a towel wrapping it on my chest and went towards the basin counter. I was drying my wet hair with the towel when I saw a black lingerie on the counter. It was mostly made with lace, and you could see through it. I blushed. Did Alexander prepare this for me?? Does this mean we are going to do it? Is he really accepting me as his wife? Does it mean he might have feelings for me?

I was in my thoughts when someone knocked on the bathroom door. "Mrs. Wayne, the master has arrived." Kelly said through the other side of the door. My heart was beating really fast. I have never done these things, and to do it with someone I just met yesterday is really making more nervous.

I quickly wore that lingerie and put the black silky robe above it. It was above my thighs, but still, it covered my see-through underwear and the bra. I slowly opened the bathroom door, and my heart skipped a beat. Alexander was sitting on my bed, taking off his tie.

I was staring at him from behind the bathroom door, and his eyes caught me.

"Are you done with your shower?" He asked me. I nodded. He looked at me for a while and then sighed. "You aren't planning to stand there the whole night, right?" He was irritated.

I stepped out of the bathroom and crossed my hands near my stomach. He was scary, and I could feel him getting more and more annoyed by me.

Should I say something? I don't know what he is thinking. He is just staring at me. Did he realize I am not that pretty, and he made a mistake?

Alexander stood up and closed the distance between us by pressing me against a wall. His face was slowly coming towards mine, and I closed my eyes. I waited for a few seconds, but nothing happened. I opened my eyes slowly to see he was breathing heavily, his eyes were soft but the stern expression on his face was still there.

Are you okay ? He asked me.

What? Am I okay? No, I am not. I am scared. The answer was in my head, but I didn't have the strength to speak out. I don't want to upset him. He pushed himself away from me and stood in the center of the room. "Take off your clothes."

I looked at him in shock. "If you don't want to do this, tell me I will leave." He said softly.

I..I am not dreaming, right? I am not good at this. I want to tell him but I can't say it. He might lock me up or tell my father so he can beat me. He was waiting for my reply, I put my hands above my chest and trembled. "I-I am scared." My voice cracked.

"I will not do anything until you are comfortable. I will be in my office near my room on the opposite side." He said, gesturing from the opened door of my room. "If you need anything, you can come to me." He smiled at me and left the room shutting the door behind.

I was still leaning against the wall, not knowing what had happened. Was he mad? Should I have said yes to him? He didn't even beat me like my Dad whenever I failed to listen to his commands.

My stomach was growling, but I didn't dare to go outside. It was still evening. I was also sleepy from the whole incident, so I just slept.
