The digital clock on the table said 7:30 when Blair woke up. 'What is this place?' she thought, noticing the unfamiliar surroundings. Memories from the previous day flooded in her mind. She was in her new room, their room. The place next to her was empty meaning Calvin was already up. She changed into her workout clothes, a fitted tank top and black leggings and went towards the rooftop to follow her daily yoga and meditation session.

The rooftop was wide and broad, there was a lot of space. She spread her mat and putting on some classical music, she began her routine. Seeing the wide area of rooftop, she thought of something. The place was perfect for gardening. Maybe she could plant some fragrant flowers and a few herbs and vegetables. She trusted her brain to remind her later to talk about this with Calvin.

Walking back to their room, she couldn't see him anymore. He wasn't in his study or at the mini gym and not even at the pool. This left only two places, kitchen and living room. 'He must be there.' thinking that, she headed for a shower.

As expected, he was in the kitchen, arranging the breakfast table. There were scrambled eggs, pancakes with chocolate syrup, sausages, toast, jam and butter. Her mouth started to water at the sight of the delicious looking, well prepared food. And the lingering smell in the air didn't help either.

"Good morning." She greeted walking closer to the counter.

"Morning. You want some coffee?" He asked pouring a glass of cold, fresh milk and placing it on the table.

"No, I'll take milk with some sugar." He poured another glass and after asking her preference, mixed up a spoon full of sugar in it. Stirring diligently, he sat it in front of her.

"You didn't tell me you had a cook." She said, placing herself on the cushioned, metal chair.

"The cook is right in front of your eyes. Say, hello." He placed a hand on his chest and waved the other one in the air with stretching his lips from ear to ear in a proud grin.

"No way! You can cook?" She stared at him in disbelief, moving her eyes back and forth to the food and then to him. Though it was a simple breakfast, the way it was presented looked like a professional chef made it.

Eggs were spread evenly in the white ceramic plate with ketchup drizzled on top. Four sausages were fried and cut into even pieces, arranged in perfect parallel lines. The flawlessly cooked pancakes stacked on top of eachother with chocolate syrup dripping down from the edges looked so tempting.

'Does he always eats like this?' she wondered. A part of her questioned if he did all that because of her but her thoughts were quickly shut down by his statement.

"Don't think too much, I like my food fancy."

...

"It's a good news sir, yesterday after your and Mrs. Andrews-Cartier's wedding was officially finalized, our stock rates went up by 60% overnight." Nora presented the statistics to him in her iPad. He nodded his head. It was a huge deal, considering that the merger wasn't in action yet, legally.

"Also, we have received multiple offers from various real estate agencies, they want to join hands with us. And C&J group send in a contract today. They have accepted our offer. Once you put our stamp on it, all three of their luxury hotel buildings will be ours." She placed the contract on his desk.

"Wow, that's a lot for one day." He chuckled amusingly. Their market value had peaked overnight because now they had gotten hold of the biggest construction company in the country. Their marriage really did turn out to be useful.

"I'll have a look into this, meanwhile shortlist all the real estate agencies that can be most useful to us and bring it to me."

"Yes sir."

"And Nora," she turned around to give him a curious look. "Please sent someone in to clean this up." He gestured towards the spacious visitors couch which was filled with bouquets of various colours and sizes, congratulating him on his wedding. "Someone might think I am a handsome florist. Such a waste of flowers tsk." He sighed.

It wasn't like he hated flowers or something but their presence made everything look messy and moreover they also attracted bees. And he hated any type of insects.

...

"Wow Blair, look at you all glowing!" Alice, her co-worker's annoying voice said. Blair mentally rolled her eyes. Since the morning she had people coming up to her congratulating and asking questions which annoyed her. Alice was definitely the worst of all.

"Bet you had lots of fun with your husband Last night. How about you tell me something? Did it feel good?" She winked.

'How about we don't discuss my practically non existent sex life?' She wanted to fire back. And fun? Well she did have fun having a comfortable sleep. Maybe that was making her glow.

She chuckled awkwardly, "That's a weird question Alice, let's talk about something else." She hoped Alice would drop the conversation. How was she supposed to know if it was good or not when they never did anything in the first place. Having a physical relationship with Calvin was something she never thought of. Ofcourse he was tall, dark and handsome but not her type. She had only one type, which was Raiden.

"By the way, why are you here? Shouldn't you be at your honeymoon?"

"I am working on an important case with Mr. Kingston right now. So we agreed on going when we both are free." It was a lie. They never discussed the topic of honeymoon. She was pretty sure he must have dreaded the idea as much as her. Meaning, why would he be interested in her when he had models lining up for him.

Blair knew she was pretty but she could never compare herself to the women he dated previously. Tall height, long legs and faces as small as an eraser. That was his type. How could her 5'4 self ever set side by side with those 5'10 women.

"Blair, mr. Kingston is calling you in his office."

Her ears perked up at Raiden's name. She immediately stood up and walked to his office. When she saw him, she smiled immediately. No matter how she was feeling, the sight of him would always made her better.

He began talking about the property dispute case they had been working on and she took in every drop of information. As he spoke he kept stealing glances at her. He noticed how she was being all smiley in the beginning and found it cute. She thought she hid her feelings well but she really didn't.  And he loved it .

He loved how naturally rosy cheeks turned a shade darker around him. How she made adorable excuses everytime he caught her staring. He loved everything about her. He loved just sitting there, staring at her beautiful face. He loved her.

In the past, there was a reason why he couldn't admit to his feelings but now, when he finally found the perfect time, that damned Cartier came out of nowhere snatching away what was originally his. And now she sat there wearing a ring of someone else's name.

No, it was unacceptable. The thought of her being with someone else, another guy putting his hands on her was unacceptable to him. Just the thought of her living together with another man made him furious. 

'This won't do." He thought. He needed to take back what was originally his.
