"Your cousin sister came to check up on you 2 times and both the times you were sleeping!" 
Master Andrew spoke as he then went for his expensive gold watch on the dressing table, while taking his eyes off her. 

"She was waiting for you!" 
Madam Diana's mind perked up at his another statement. 

Eyebrows rose in immediate realisation. 

She forgot Bella was coming along with them, her cousin sister is now her husband's responsibility. 

Removing the duvet off her, madam Diana's naked body with only her husband's thin see through white shirt covering only her intimate parts showed up in view. 

Master Andrew still had his blank eyes on her without any word. 

Getting up from the messed up mattress madam Diana cared no more if master was looking at her or not. A low gasp escaped her lips in the exact same moment, feeling her lower body numb. 

She was sore from last night while feeling her legs numb now. Cursing the heaven she soon stood up anyway in hurry to meet her little cousin who might need her for something? 

A hint of charm was seen in her morning face, while walking with little soreness in her lower belly and thighs, madam Diana seemed to be in a healthy mood this morning. 

Master Andrew witnessed her whole joyful mood silently as he still kept his stare blank while observing his wife's little to the littlest thing. 

Just when she was about to go inside the bathroom, his deep voice stopped her tracks again. 

"I told Chris to take her with him first, we were late anyways!"
It was a reminder. 

Those were his words for her to calm her horses down, he sounded emotionless. While a heavy frown decorated on madam's morning face upon hearing her husband. 

He let Christopher take Bella all alone? Strange was it! 

"What about Genelia and her husband?" 
While standing with the wall's support behind her madam Diana turned around to look at her husband who dusted his already ironed blazer emotionlessly.

"Everyone left, except us!" 
Master Andrew replied blankly as madam Diana's eyes enlarged at his words. No wonder, she was late! 

But why he didn't wake her up? 

"I will be waiting in the lobby!" 
Master Andrew spoke the next second before turning around to leave the room for all herself but her voice paused his action then. 

"G-Good Morning!" 
Madam Diana stammered in embarrassment and obvious shyness as master just hummed in reply while finally walking out of the room quietly. 

With her weird thoughts she got ready soon and went out of the room only to find her server waiting there outside, "Good Morning Madam!" 

Hellen with her cheerful smile showed up in front of Diana as in return she smiled gladly. 

"Morning!" 
Greeting back madam walked out of her room, letting Hellen deal with the luggage behind her. 

"Are we good to go Madam?" 
Madam Diana nodded as they both started to exit the room. 

"Everyone left?" 
Madam Diana questioned as Helen nodded her head at her answer. 

"Yes, all the guests left about 2 hours ago. You were still sleeping so master Andrew ordered to not disturb your slumber." 
Hellen replied politely gaining her attention. 

"Oh..." 
Master Andrew himself didn't bother to wake her wake too, he choose to be late with her? 
Unconsciously madam's heart drummed upon thinking about that. 

He was late with her too. 

Still not wanting to expect much, she just sighed out. 
"When did... when did Christopher and Bella leave?" 

With her voice low, madam then questioned her royal maid who dragged her luggage behind her before looking at her with a slight frown. 

"Young master Chris left just an hour ago with Miss Bella on master's order, she was asking master about you again and again!" 

It didn't feel right to her, madam Diana in her mind had too much doubts for no reasons, she started fidgeting her fingers. 
Bella was too young and now she was her concern cause her husband took her responsibility at the royal dining, last night in front of the whole alliance. 

Soon reaching the lobby madam Diana's eyes fell on master Andrew standing and speaking on his phone having a serious aura around him. 

He looked busy and the fact that she was the cause of him being late today made her feel kind of bad now. 

Hellen dragged the luggage towards their luxurious limousine while madam Diana's whole attention was on master Andrew. 

Approaching him, she quietly stood a step away from him till he finished his phone meeting, which sounded very urgent to her. 
"Great, meet me at the head quarters!" 

Master seemed to be packed for today again. No wonder, master was one workaholic how can madam expect anything less from him? 

Master Andrew flew from his business meeting of 2 long weeks to attend his own anniversary and not even a day he rested, he was just working way too much. 
"Okay, I am hanging up first then!" 

Cutting the call master Andrew sighed before looking at his wife beside him, "Let's go!" 

He ordered without any expressions as madam Diana nodded obediently before getting wrapped in his arms and leaded ahead towards his limousine. 

Making her sit first, master Andrew soon sat in front of her. 

It takes approximately 5 hours to reach back home, which means Bella and Christopher might have already crossed the border by now. 

All madam Diana had to do was to sit beside her husband in his limousine and reach there soon. 
Guiding her in, the breakfast was already decorated there for two. 

Both seemingly did not had time for breakfast, hence the arrangements were made by master Andrew for his wife who eats her breakfast right after her bed. 

Silence surrounded both the royal pair for minutes as they started having their first meals calmly, minutes passed and madam Diana seem to lose her appetite now even if it was her favourite meal, blankly whilst playing her fork with her half completed dish she had her eyes down the whole time. 

While master Andrew noticed her behaviour, he chewed his meal neatly. 

"You seem disturbed!" 
Master Andrew uttered noting his woman's lazy actions and unwell expressions as madam Diana looked at him while raising her head up. 

With her eyebrows up in surprise she shook her head slowly at his assumption. 

"It's just..." 
Hesitating a bit, madam started fidgeting her fingers upon his random question. 

Trying to make up one valid reply, madam Diana didn't intend to answer his question, she rather planned to question him in return now. 

"Why did you decide to take Bella's responsibility suddenly?" 
Her words came out to be bold but her tone was still low on which, master Andrew's eyes stared at her face for some seconds without any expressions, scaring her for surely. 

He was one controlling man indeed, his one glare was a warning to her. 

"I thought you would like it!" 
Master answered sounding not at all bothered. 

Madam Diana's words didn't sounded curious at all, she rather sounded doubtful and catching her emotions in no worries, master Andrew weirdly scoffed? 

Never before he showed his such side, he acting way too serious and it was little foreign for her to see him like that. 

Acknowledging the fact that his woman was indeed doubting him, master Andrew weirdly felt bizarre. Those blank orbs of his, negatively reacted. 

"I do but why did you send her with Christopher-"
She again intended to question her doubts but very soon she was cut off my master himself. 

Master Andrew damn knew her too well, way too well. It isn't now, her mind was unwell since yesterday. 

Even if she won't dare to tell him, he would figure out always. 

Madam Diana's eyes blinked for once while looking at master, who let an angry chuckle out with his deep tone, he won't be too obvious even if it's needed but now he is. He was damn angry! 
"What's wrong with Christopher?" 

Instead of answering, he rather questioned his woman darkly back making her frowned face release a bit. A moment of silence was needed by madam Diana to take in the meaning of his words. 

"Nothing is wrong but-"
She tried speaking again but master Andrew cut her off when his fork hit his plate loudly.

That was the signal for her to stop her words on track immediately which she did. 

"Since when you started questioning my decisions, Diana?" 
Master Andrew questioned staring at her big glassy orbs which were already looking at him with crystal clear fear now. 

"Honey, I-"
Diana transferred her eyes down when she felt her husband's glare piercing imaginary holes in her body, feeling goosebumps all around her body she gulped in real horror. 

Her husband was indeed one controlling and dominating character but never before he seemed this intimidating to her, what today caused him this much anger? 

Was it Christopher's mention? 

"Come here!" 
Master Andrew demanded with his voice sounding dark as feeling chills down her spine, madam now started shaking unconsciously. 

Looking still down without any movement, her heart was pacing uncontrollably. What if her husband hurt her? What if he will spill his anger on her? 

"You know I don't like repeating myself!" 
Master Andrew commanded again a minute later when Diana still didn't obey his words. 

His tone made her flinch. 

Madam's fists clenched her apparel as she very slowly stood up on her legs feeling it legs wobbling in nervousness as slowly approaching her husband, who was sitting in front of her. 

With her head hung low, she stared at the earth with her fearful gaze, while her faint tears glistened her vision. She was now in front of master as very soon she felt master's hand raising up. 

Her eyes immediately closed as she thought he was going to hurt her but when she felt him pulling her arm towards him, making her body fall on his. He intended her to place her in his laps. 

A gasp of surprise escaped her lips. 

Letting the silence cloud both, no one among the two spoke for first few minutes. Master's hand grabbed his woman's waist securing her whole weight in his only right lap while left one circled her legs. 

His angry arrogant eyes stared at her face which only hinted how much he feared him. 

She was one loyal woman, the most domestic woman he have ever seen. She was one of the type who was desired my many man. 

Calm, quite and obedient was she. 

"When Chris was born my father wasn't with my mother, she gave birth alone!" 
Master Andrew spelled as the closed lashes of his woman slowly unfurled, she looked at his face which was very close to her. 

Master already had his dark eyes on her. 

"She raised us alone till she was finally dead while father never came, never he came until he wanted me for the throne. Chris turned 6 when he first saw father but father for him was me, I have always been his parent. I have raised him after my mother!" 
Master Andrew narrated his thoughts making her heart race million times more. 

He had some unknown emotions while narrating his past. 

"I was soon 15 when I granted the throne. Father died after slapping his responsibilities on me. The first kill I had was our maid who tried to poison Chris, I stabbed her 50 times!" 
A loud gasp was escaped from his woman's side. Madam Diana was terrified now. 

"All I believe is I raised him, Chris is my blood which will be thicker than my own child's!" 
Master Andrew then suddenly raised his one brow up while staring deep in his woman's soul, who was still sitting on his laps. 

He had arrogance written on his charms now. 

"Hence my brother so dearest to me more than my own child, how would I let him ruin himself for a mere pole dancer?" 
Master Andrew asked his woman as that's when all his words made sense. 

Another loud gasp of shock escaped from madam Diana's lips. 

"Christopher and Bella?" 
Madam Diana uttered as master Andrew didn't even bother to react to her. 

"I entered him in the alliance yesterday and bought your cousin for him!" 
He bought Bella? That means master Andrew already created Christopher's alliance without him knowing? 

No wonder why master Andrew was that suspicious yesterday, from involving Christopher in Bella's matter to sending Bella with him all alone. 

It was all his schemes. 

Master Andrew made Bella's deal with her father and uncle. 
His words were sounded so arrogant. His expressions had no sense of emotions.
