Chapter 2

Lois’s POV

I looked out the window on the drive home. The city looked peaceful, like the drive home. Aaron was unusually quiet.

He liked to nag a lot and annoy me, but now it was like he didn’t know what to say to me, not that I was complaining.

I was drowning in the peace and quiet and couldn't wait to get home and sleep.

Shortly after we arrived at the mansion, my parents picked out for us.

It was a tall building, fine structure, small, but it will do. It should have at least two bedrooms from this structure i am seeing.

Nothing compared to what I have, but it will do until I get a divorce. We walked inside in silence.

Aaron looked a little bit pale, like he was scared of something, his perfect hair was in sliight disarray, which suited him quiet well, I couldn’t shake the feeling that him feeling down had something to do with me. I felt a slight ting of joy just thinking about it.

‘Here is the contract’ I said, handing him a brown envelope the minute we arrived inside the house. I drafted a contract days ago to set a boundary, I didn’t need him and my space, and neither do I want to be in his space.

‘Contract?’ he blurted out, surprised ‘Why would we need a contract as a married couple?’ he asked in disbelief as he slowly drew out the content of the contract out.

‘This isn’t a love marriage, so some boundary needed to be set’ I said with a scoff. What was he expecting for us to be all lovey dovey and all over each other? What a jerk.

I rolled my eyes.

‘We are to stay in seperate rooms? What about today that is our wedding night?’ he said, looking at me surprised, is this guy being fr right now? I was too tired to argue with him today.

‘Read the rest of the contract and know your place, my room will be upstairs, while yours will be downstairs, you have no business upstairs and I must not see you there’ I said with condescending tone and immediately vacated upstairs, I didn’t wait o hear what he had to say, I wasn’t interested.

When I got upstairs, I realised that there was not any room available. None in sight, only the indoor pool area, the laundry room, and the indoor theatre, more like my parents knew this was going to happen, I sighed in frustration.

They were always two steps ahead, every goddamn time.

I looked downstairs in defeat and saw that Aaron was seated on the couch. It was so embarrassing. After acting all tough and all , I had to go down and face him.

Sigh, I took the bold step and went back downstairs, ignoring Aaron’s questioning gaze on me and entering the nearest room.

That was a close one. I took the stupid wedding gown off and immediately went to take a shower. The feeling of the cold water on my body soothed me. I felt so relaxed. Today drained me, and the water slowly ran down my body, from my back to my feet.

I moaned a little because this shower was a little too damn good.

I stood in the shower of thinking about how my life was going to be now. I was now married to the richest man in the country, it would really help my company. I hated him, but I was doing this for my baby, my company.

Now that our company will be merging, it will be on the news on Monday and I have to prepare for a whole lot of talking. I took a deep breath and sighed.

Now that I think about it, Aaron looked better than when him last month, but he was really looking better today, more handsome and hotter.

He really did some good to that hair of his.

I would really want my children to have eyes like his. They were literally so blue and perfect.

I quickly shook the thoughts off and remembered who he was to me.

When I was done, I took a fresh towel and tapped it on my body gently to dry out the water on my skin.

I couldn’t wait to go to bed, I was really exhausted. I entered the room back, did my skincare, and immediately retired to bed. What I nice way to spend a wedding night.

I heard the door tweak a little while I was sleeping, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe I left it open or something. I loved my sleep so much, so of course, I didn't want to break from my sweet sleep.

I didn't bother checking and just ignored it.

………………………………………………………………………………………….

I woke up refreshed and feeling accomplished.It was morning. I wasn't really a morning person, but this morning felt different and great and satisfying.

Maybe it was the marriage effect.

Every bone and tissue in my body felt rejuvenated and refreshed.

The pillow I laid my head on felt unusually hard but soft at the same time. It felt so relaxing and satisfying.

I guess I changed the pillow while I was sleeping because it wasn't the one I slept on last night.

A win is a win, though. I felt more relaxed with this pillow than the initial. It was now my favourite pillow.

I opened my eyes gently, my hand was on the pillow, so soft, like it had a nipple, I stood up gently and realized I laid on a tall figure, not a pillow.

I felt confused for a second. How could a pillow look like that? It had a really weird shape and...

I opened my eyes widely as realisation dawned on me. It was AARON, and I was laid on his chest.

‘Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh’ I screamed with so much fear and Aaron jolted from his sleep.
