Picking herself from the floor she brushed her hair out of her face and sighed in defeat. It had not been long since she had woken up but she was already far too tired to carry on. Looking to her side she placed her hand on her hips.

"Now what?"

The man behind the door was supposed to bring her to the dining area for breakfast but he instead left her to fend for herself. Glancing back at the door with the man she called her husband behind it, she considered asking for help but immediately crushed the idea as fast as it had come up.

She picked a random direction down the hallway, figuring she might work things out as she went. A decision she would soon regret.

Half an hour passed and she had yet to find what she was looking for. Rounding another corner she finally submitted to the idea that she had no clue where she was.

"Yeah. I'm lost"

Grunting in frustration she could not help but blame the man who brought her here for her new misfortune.

    "Perhaps she could truly be a match for Mr Acres" "Who could be a match for the boss?" Another voice asked stopping Alec in his stead. Looking over to the owner of the said voice he sighed in annoyance at the boy standing behind him. "Mabel, you're supposed to be guarding the south wing." "And you're supposed to be guarding the fourth quadrant and yet here we are." Rolling his eyes at the sassy youngster he began walking. feeling the presence of the younger male still behind him he continued his walk in silence but that did not last long. "So who were you talking about and why aren't you where you're supposed to be?" "I am the head guard I ask the questions not the other way around" "Yeah, yeah" Brushing his words off he placed his hands behind his head signifying how much of a relaxed person he was. "So are you gonna tell me or not?" Knowing full well that the boy won't let this go Alec finally gave in. "I was talking about the new mistress. She seems to be quite the char

    Confused by his words Robin tilted her head in question. "What is it?" She asked, hesitant. The man seated before her gave a cold, calculative look. A completely new face she had never seen from him. She was used to the man smirking and teasing her but the gaze he gave her then was an unfamiliar one. "As I previously stated even though we are now married it does not solve our original problem" Placing his elbows on the table he leaned forward his hands clasped together. She nodded in agreement as remnants of their previous conversation ran through her head. "You said there's a big party happening soon right?" "Yes, and that big party is in exactly three days" "What, three days?" "Is there an issue with that?" He quirked a brow at her in question to which she reciprocated with a brow raise of her own. "You're kidding, right? Three days isn't enough for us to come off as a happy lovey-dovey couple we're trying to fool people into believing we are. I don't even know what your f

    "You have a good eye" Startled by the sudden voice she turned around to see a blonde man wearing a beret standing behind her. He reached a hand towards the dress, pulled it out from its position and placed it against her body. Nodding in approval he smiled at her in a friendly manner. "Green is a good colour for you. Compliments that chocolaty brown skin of yours." "O-Oh, Uhm thank you very much" "So?" He asked giving a questioning look. Robin confused by his question tilted her head. "So, what?" "So, won't you try it out a bit?" "Oh, no I couldn't possibly" "And why not?" The strange man asked with a disappointed look. "I just don't think something as beautiful as that could fit someone of my...stature" "And what exactly is your stature? Curvy? Beautifully gifted with a nice thick ass and thighs? Girl, I would kill to look like you." Embarrassed by the compliment she could not help but shyly smile at the stranger. She has never had anyone compliment her body in such a way

    Arriving back at the mansion the pair made their way inside the residence. Alec as well as a few other bodyguards took Robin's new clothes to her room but were abruptly stopped by Ethan. "Take them to my room instead" Without complaint, they complied with their boss's wishes. Robin on the other hand stood there in confusion. "Why are they taking them to your room? Shouldn't it be my room they take them to?" Gazing down at her with his hands sluggishly in his pockets he simply replied without care. "We need to get comfortable with one another for us to come off as a proper couple. which means we have to get used to each other's skin contact. And you" Reaching a hand towards her she quickly backed away from it making him smirk as she proved his point." "Have yet to get used to me touching you. It wouldn't be a good thing for you to act that way in front of others now would it?" He asked with a brow quirked. "So you moved my clothes in your room for me to get more comfortable ar

    Sitting at his desk looking over documentation was Ethan with a brazen look covering his face. Glaring at the paperwork in his hand he threw them on the table in a fit of rage. Getting up from his seat he walked towards a small round, glass table where he had his bottle of whiskey. While pouring himself a glass a knock came on the door. "Come in" He invited without looking up from his glass. the door opened revealing Alec who held numerous papers in his hand. "Sir, I've brought the papers you asked for earlier." "Ah, put them on my desk" Complying with his demands Alec looked to his boss and watched him easily down the entire glass in one go. His face morphed into one of concern but he understood the frustrations his employer was going through and resolved to keep his tongue. Sensing something was off with Alec, Ethan sighed placing the glass back on the table. "What is it?" He asked Alec as he poured himself another glass. "Nothing" Turning to the man glass in hand he gave

    Grumbling at her uncomfortable position, Robin shifted around trying to ease the discomfort, but the sudden feel of a body laying next to her stopped her in her tracks. Stunned at the foreign body her eyes shot open. Trying to get up from her laying position she was stopped by something. Her eyes fell to her waist where two arms tightly wrapped themselves around holding her in place. Tracing the arms up to their owner her initial shock was replaced with an even bigger one. There laying next to her was none other than Ethan in all his glory. Baffled at the unexpected guest she looked at the sleeping man in confusion. She was sure she went to bed alone last night and if so what was she doing with him on the same bed? But now that she thought about it the sheets she was sleeping with was different from the ones she had yesterday. Turning her attention to the room she realized it was not her own but instead the man she was in bed with. How did I get here? Did I maybe sleepwalk int

    Scoffing at the man before her Robin looked straight into his eyes without fear in her own. It was that look in her eyes that excited Ethan like no other human could. That fiery, defiant look she always unexpectedly displayed before him and always caught him off guard. "I know more about you than you'd think" "Oh? And just what is it exactly you think you know about me?" She challenged slowly raising her head towards his she decreased the distance between them but stopped once her nose touched his. "Please, enlighten me" Taken aback by her bravery Ethan's smirk widened as his interest in the woman only grew at her surprising behaviour. "Very well, let me enlighten you. First of all," Tilting his head he leaned to her neck and began planting kisses along there. "I know you studied business in a semi-high institution yet ended up choosing an IT job instead" She grunted at his kisses, her skin felt like it was on fire at each kiss he planted and her body grew more impatient.

    Coming out of the shower dressed in nothing but a towel hanging dangerously around his hips, Ethan looked over to his bed and much to his surprise Robin was still there. She was still far too confused over what just occurred and was having a war within her mind. Not noticing the wet man approaching her she was startled by a set of hands lifting her head by the chin. Finding herself looking up at the man her eyes widened at the realization that he was only dressed in a towel. Dripping wet a few droplets made their way from his collarbone down to his firm packs where they slid across the crevice of the muscles and finally disappeared under the towel. "If you keep looking at me like that I might just cancel my meeting and continue where we left off" Her eyes shot back up to his face where a smirk was already on display. Slightly embarrassed that she was caught staring she pushed his hand away and made her way off the bed in a hurry. "I-I should shower as well" She managed to get o

    Climbing a mechanic staircase, Robin winced with each step. After her discharge from the hospital, she was made to take physical therapy since she had been lying in bed for so long. It was a bit odd for her to be relearning how to walk at her age, but she needed to get back to who she was before."Alright, Mrs Acres. That is it for today. You did a great job"Her trainer complimented ending the session. Smiling at him with relief she could not be happier to be finished. "Thank you, Seb. Especially for coming all the way here"Unstraping the belt around her waist she threw it aside before placing her hands on her waist in exhaustion. "That is no problem at all. Besides, who else can brag about being in the infamous house of the Ethan Acres? I'll be telling this story for generations"Laughing at the joke she held a hand up to her lips. While the two were busy laughing they did not notice someone else entering the room. "I see you two are enjoying yourselves"Surprised at the voice t

    Walking through the familiar large door Robin looked back at the man helping her up the stairs. His expression was somewhat solemn and dare she assume sad. She had no idea just what went on during the past three months of her hospitalisation for him to have a drastic change. Though he had always shown kindness towards her, these days it seemed that he was being extra cautious and caring. Like the time he peeled her orange for her, or when he was constantly asking if she needed anything during their ride home. They were little things and yet they seemed so sweet. What took the cake was when he brought her a bouquet of her favourite flowers, daisies. Out of all the gifts she had received while at the hospital, his was the best of them all. Recalling the gesture she smiled to herself. As they made their way to the bedroom, Robin turned to the left side where her room was. "Where are you going?"Ethan asked with a scowl. She looked up at him in confusion before answering with the most

    Groaning awake her eyes fluttered open. Blinking away the fuzzy cloud over her eyes she tried to bring her hand over to help relieve the strain in her eyes, but something prevented her from doing so. Looking over at her hand she saw a larger, much rougher hand desperately clinging to hers. Looking up to the owner of the hands she froze at the full, head of dark hair sitting atop the bed. Although his face was out of view she easily recognized the man. That familiar warmth his hand brought, the large frame hunched over with slow steep breaths rising and falling at each breath he took. How could she ever forget the man she fell so in love with?She sat that for a while just staring at his hair, a small smile hovering on her lips. She had no idea just how much time had passed but it did not matter to her. She could spend years just watching him sleep and would feel satisfied with that alone.Noticing his shoulders shake awake she remained still, only observing the way his muscles moved.

    "Oh, my dear little flower!"In rushed a worried Jen with arms out wide in a hug. Opening her arms to welcome the embrace the two held onto each other. Breaking from the comfort Robin smiled up at her."Madame Pourrie, thank you for coming"A tired yet happy Robin said to the well-dressed woman. She wore a large fur coat with a frilling top and a tight long skirt, topped with a top hat tilted to the side. Robin chuckled to herself at the older woman. who else other than the Madame would dress in such a fancy manner?"Pish, posh child did I not tell you to stop calling me that?"She reprimanded the dark-haired woman, slapping her on the arm forgetting she was an active patient. "Madame! She's a sick patient. You can't just hit her like that!"Laurelyn yelled at the former lady as she rushed into the room before pushing her aside to tend to Robin. Gazing down at the poor young woman in her bed she gave her a look of concern as she rubbed her arm where the Madame hit her."Oh, my apolo

    It's dark. I feel cold. My body feels heavy as if it's floating in the dark abyss of the ocean. What is this feeling? This lonely, stuffy feeling. I feel like I'm forgetting something. Or was it someone? Why can't I move my fingers, or wiggle my toes? Why can't I open my lips to speak? Ah, my eyes are heavy, I can't open them. Just... What is this?"I should have listened to you"Who is that? "Robin, please wake up. It's all my fault"Who is this person and why does their voice sound so familiar?"I'm so sorry."What are they sorry for? Do I know this person? "Even if you don't forgive me, I'll do whatever it takes for you to forgive me. Just please wake up"Forgive them? What could they have done that is deserving of my forgiveness? And what did they mean I should wake up? "Please, Robin."Wait, I feel like I know them somehow. The way they call my name, that low tone, that sends shivers done my spine. Wait, I think I know this person. What was their name again? Oh, I think it wa

    Blankly looking up at the man before him for what felt like hours, Damien finally snapped out of his daze and without missing a note burst out laughing."Pfft, hahaha! Oh wow, to think it would be you of all people. What an unexpected turn of events"He spoke with a smirk as tears lined the corner of his eyes. To say he was surprised would be a lie, he had a hunch the very person who was retelling him of his offence in such leisure could be none other than the very husband of the woman he had wronged."Well, damn. Although I am a bit surprised at this I can't say I didn't see it coming. I mean, I'd also be jealous if my wife went out to meet her ex in a private setting like a restaurant."He grinned up at the male staring down at him. And that is all Ethan did, stare with a blank face. There was no sign of any emotion written on his face nor could there be any anger felt in the room. If anything he seemed calm and unbothered by Damien's taunting words. A bit too calm.But that did not

    The septic smell of pure alcohol and medicine was so potent it could easily make one drowsy. Making his way past the white walls and waiting area with seats filled to the brim of patients waiting for their turn, a tired Alec stopped in front of a sickeningly white door. To his right written in bold black letters was a name tag. Mrs Acres.He sighed dropping his head to the floor before heaving a large breath. Raising his head he braced himself as he lifted a hand to the door.From the inside of the room, the sound of a gentle yet firm knock could be heard. The foreign sound is a contrast to the silent beeps of the monitor."Come in"Upon hearing the command Alec entered the room. Closing the door behind him the man orderly placed his hands in front. The bright yellow file in his hand stood out from the interior white walls. Everything inside seemed so artificial as though it was not even real, everything except the man sitting beside the bed, hunched over a small frame that laid still

    Driving down the city streets the bright city lights flashed by like shooting stars. The different lights blurred together at the speed Ethan drove, making it seem like one was in the middle of a rainbow. Behind the wheel, the man knit his brows together in worry. Immediately after hearing about Robin's accident he hurriedly made his way down his car and drove without hesitance. It was as if his body moved on its own as before he knew it he was already behind the wheel and on the road. "Come on, get out of the way!"He growled at the driver ahead of him repeatedly beeping for them to speed up or get out of his way. His head was muddled up with all sorts of thoughts running through his head. His heart was racing faster than a horse on a race track and his mind could hardly keep up. At the hospital, a team of nurses rushed an injured and concussed Robin down to the operating room. Her eyes were bloodied and unfocused she could only make out the outlines of people surrounding her and

    With his face to the side, a stinging sensation made its way through his cheek. He looked at Robin who only glared up at him with tears in her eyes before storming out of the room and slamming the door shut. with a hand on his cheek, he flexed his jaw to ease the sting in his cheek. Groaning in irritation he leaned back on his desk. Running a hand through his hair he swept the stray locks back only for them to slowly fall back over his forehead. Sighing he looked back to his tablet. Grabbing it he began going over the files Alec had gotten him about Damien.According to his findings, the man was a convicted felon with multiple charges of assault, robbery, breaking and entering. This guy had so many charges going as far as being caught selling drugs and being involved with some nasty people in the underworld. It seemed that he and Robin use to be in a relationship some years ago but it ended when he disappeared with some of her money. For some reason or another, he was back in the c
