First kiss

"Hi, nice to meet you." Ella tries to act like a friendly person. She doesn't have many friends except for Suzy, she lives a closed life so she communicates badly while talking.

"Ella, how did you meet my brother?" Rika asked, blinking excitedly.

"We ran into each other in the hospital. After that, we kept in touch until we decided to get married later." This is true, Ella didn't lie.

Rika was dumbfounded when she heard what Ella said. The story of Ella and David's meeting was too bland. How did they decide to get married when there was no romance between them?

"It's strange. My brother is dry and rigid, what is attractive about him? Handsome or rich?" Rika asked and looked at Ella's reaction.

"He's very good, knows how to help others." Ella said what she had in mind. Even though the two of them are just contracted husband and wife, she is still grateful to David for saving her father. This is a partnership where both sides benefit. Even though he's in the same room, he doesn't touch her, which proves he's a good man. 

Rika is surprised to learn that Ella is not marrying her brother because he is handsome or rich. Rika didn't look at the wrong person.

Sophie who was standing behind Rika, hearing what Ella said, she thought. 'How can Ella be a greedy girl like Mrs. Emma?' She is wondering, should she continue investigating Ella?

“So what do you do in my brother's company? What university did you go to?" Rika continued to ask.

“I am an employee of the marketing department. I graduated with a master's degree from MIT, majoring in business administration, four years ago."

Suddenly there was silence in the living room. Rika was shocked to hear Ella speak.

Everyone knows that MIT is a prestigious and famous university. To get into MIT, one has to be rich, brilliant, or lucky. How can a poor person like Ella get into the top university in the country?

"How old are you?"

"I am 25 years old."

Rika couldn't help but let out a surprised voice. “So you graduated with a master's degree at just 21 years old. You are really good.”

Mrs. Emma couldn't help but admit that Ella did well enough to graduate with a master's degree at MIT. But she is still not satisfied with Ella's background.

“I also study like everyone else. But most of the time I usually go to work to cover expenses.” Ella smiled wryly as Rika praised her for being good.

"You are truly humble. That's what one needs. David was right to love you.” Mr. Harry said, looking pleased.

David walked toward Ella and smiled at her. "Honey, it's late. Let's go to the bedroom."

"Okay." Ella stood up from the sofa and held David's hand.

"Please, everyone." David said politely before they went up the stairs.

David put his arm around Ella's waist, pulling her close to him when he saw some of the maids cleaning the handrails of the stairs.

Ella cooperated with him, smiling lovingly.

The next day, Rika overhears a conversation between her mother and Sophie.

"Let's install a camera in David's bedroom." It was the voice of Mrs. Emma.

Sophie was surprised. "You don't believe David?"

“I feel like something is wrong. Think about it, when we discussed marriage before, David was shy and didn't want to listen. But today suddenly he brought a strange girl home and said it was his wife. Why is this so sudden? I need to make sure Ella is a nice girl. Who knew she'd seduce David and take the Anthony estate." Mrs. Emma reasoned with doubts in her mind.

Sophie doesn't think so. She speaks. “Maybe David really loves Ella and so does Ella. Maybe David is too busy to introduce Ella to us.”

“To confirm that for sure, I had to install a camera in David's room. I want to know what the two of them do. Maybe David is cheating on us because we forced him to get married. In short, I need to know the truth.” Mrs. Emma spoke firmly.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Sophie entered David's bedroom and installed the camera in a hidden place, a place that David did not detect.

That same afternoon, when David and Ella got home together, Rika pulled her brother's hand to a corner.

“Mom installed a camera in your bedroom because she suspects you and Ella… um… something is wrong. Although I don't know what happened between the two of you, it is an invasion of personal privacy. I feel really unhappy.” Rika said with exasperation.

"I know. Thank you for the reminder." David frowned.

As usual, after dinner, David and Ella went upstairs to their bedroom.

David looked around the room but couldn't see where the camera was. He pulled Ella's hand out onto the balcony.

“My mother installed a camera in the room.”

"What?" Ella exclaimed in surprise. “Your mother knows we… pretend?”

"I'm not sure but she doubts."

“What must we do now?”

“There is only one way…we have to sleep in the same bed.”

Ella jumped. "Are you crazy? How is this possible? I… before I didn't even hold hands of the opposite sex… how could I… sleep with you.”

David is awkward. “I also never had close contact with girls, I only slept with the one I loved. But in this situation, I have no other choice.”

Seeing Ella hesitate, he lowered his voice to reassure her. "You do not worry. We just lay next to each other… um… let them think we're really husband and wife. I will not do anything over the limit. I swear." David held up three fingers.

Looking into his steadfast eyes, Ella somehow believed her and she nodded.

David went to the bathroom to change his shirt into a luxurious bathrobe. Then he went out. Seeing that Ella still hadn't seen her nightgown, he hugged her waist and whispered in her ear. "You change your nightgown quickly, we must not let them suspect." David continued to act as he kissed Ella on the cheek.

Ella frowned slightly before entering the changing room. This man really made her heart go crazy. In the process of growing up until now, she has never kissed anyone, how can she sleep in the same bed with a man?

Ella changed into a pink two-piece nightgown, with a cape over it, then she walked out of the changing room.

The lighting in the bedroom is quite dim and feels romantic. David turned on the radio, and a melodious song played. He is sitting on the bed, reading a book. Seeing Ella, he raised his head and was dumbfounded. Ella looks sexier and sexier, but she also has big clear eyes, the combination of purity and charm is a deadly attraction for every man.

David is afraid that he won't be able to control himself if he keeps thinking about it. He could only turn his face away.

Ella took a deep breath and climbed into bed, crawling into David's blankets and resting her hands on his stomach. She smiled as she looked at his face.

David was amazed to see Ella's boldness. Since he had said before that he wouldn't do anything off-limits, Ella believed him. Unable to hold back, he bent down to find her lips.

When David's lips touched hers, she jerked back a little. Seeing Ella's reaction, he understood that this was her first time. So he softened, continuing to kiss her deeply on the lips. She finally received her first kiss from David. They kissed passionately until he reached out to turn off the light. The light in the room went out. And they slept hugging each other.
