Chapter 4 ~ New Start

*ALEXANDER'S POV*

Berney told me she was in her room, I couldn't wait to see her again. She was looking stunning in that white dress. I almost went there to embrace her. But I stopped myself because she was already scared seeing me. I went to her room and knocked a few times, but no one replied. One of the maids came running and told me she was having a bath.

The maid went inside and came out of the room telling me she was almost done. I went inside and sat on the bed, taking the tie off that was choking me. I saw her staring at me, and I asked her to come out. She was trembling, of course she must hate me, I haven't shown any affection to her, and she gets scared all the time, which annoys me. But those wet hair dripping and her trembling lips, her slim body, her breasts, everything was perfect.

I pinched her against the wall, I couldn't stop if I started, I knew, and my body had already started acting up. She is making me aroused with her presence only. I can't believe Cathy had a great impact on me. I have to hold myself. I asked her if she was okay with it, but her expression showed she was scared. I had to leave. My presence is making her scared.

I went to my office already being hard, but I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was so scared of me that she didn't join the dinner and didn't come out of her room the whole evening and night.

"Did she like her room?" I asked Berney smoking in my office.

"Yes Master. She liked it, but she was a bit shy about expressing her feelings." He replied.

"I might have to take things slowly. She is a lot more sensitive than I thought she would be." I said, lightening another cigarette.

"She will surely be a good wife for you Master." Berney was polite.

I smiled at him agreeing, then he bowed and left.

How can I make her stop getting scared of me? Should I buy her flowers? Or take her on a date? Aggh, this is harder than any other missions I had before. If only I could tell her how much I love her.

I hope I can see her in the morning.

I continued doing my pending work till it was midnight.

I was at the dining table waiting for her in the morning. Finally, I saw her getting downstairs in a blue skirt above her knees and a hoodie on the top. Her hair was tied up in a pony tail. She nervously sat beside me and continued peeking me through her lashes. Stop Cathy, you are too cute.

The maid bought her breakfast, and we silently ate our food. After we were done, I stood up to leave when she called me the first time since we met.

Mr. Wayne, can we talk? She said, looking at me with those beautiful small eyes.

I cleared my throat. "What is it about?" I asked her.

"Can I still attend my university?" She hesitated.

What? University? She wants to study?

"Actually, I will be starting my senior year and will graduate soon... I don't want to stay at home." She continued.

I guess she must not like it here.

*CATHY'S POV *

I think someone knocked on my door, but I was too sleepy to answer it. I woke up because the sunlight was hitting straight into my eyes.

I slept for such a long time. I can't believe myself because I always had a few hours to sleep cause of my university and my training to be a proper lady at my Dad's.

University, I totally forgot about it. Should I have to ask for his permission? Will he allow me? As a married woman, I have to maintain my wife duties. That's what my teacher told me in the training sessions.

I went downstairs to see him at the dining table. His breakfast was there, but he hadn't eaten it yet. I sat next to him, peeking at him to check his temper. He didn't say anything to me the entire breakfast, but his face wasn't stern like yesterday night.

He was about to leave when I stopped him.

"Mr. Wayne, can we talk?" I said, looking at him.

"What is it about?" He replied.

"Can I still attend my university?" I hesitated.

There was silence.

"Actually, I will be starting my senior year and will graduate soon... I don't want to stay at home." I continued.

But again, he said nothing. Will he refuse? I was nervous.

"If you want, you can. But the driver will drop you up and pick you up." He said after a while, sternly.

"Thank you, Mr. Wayne." I was grateful. He doesn't seem to be a bad person, I guess.

He left without saying anything and I went to get my bag and books which were bought in my luggage yesterday by Rodrigo.

It was Tuesday so I had only one class at 11 which ended at 1. The driver dropped me off at the university, but the atmosphere seemed off today. Everyone was giving me disgusting looks.

I kept my head down and walked towards my two friends I only had here, Floria and Mary. I could see from their expressions that they weren't happy either.

"Cathy, is this true?" Floria asked.

"What?" I answered.

The other showed her phone to me. My Dad never got me a phone in case he thought I would run away. So I always was one step behind the news in uni. I saw that my marriage was all over the uni page. The news was fake, of course. It said I got into his bed, or I seduced him.

"Cathy, I know this isn't true. Just please say something. I am already angry at them." Mary was already pissed off. Floria calmed her down and put her hand on my shoulder. "Cathy?" She called me.

"It's true." I can't lie to them. "I got married yesterday to Mr. Alexander Wayne. It was an arranged marriage." I couldn't explain more than that. Floria and Mary were shocked, but they didn't ask further.

"The class is about to start, let's go, girls," Mary said, dragging both of us into the class.

The whole time in class, they sat at each side of me, distracting me and asking questions about the lecture. I always thought that I didn't deserve them. They always had their back for me. I am really grateful for having them. My thoughts ended with the class.

We were walking back to the gate while I could hear people talking about me...
