Chapter 10 - WEDDING NIGHT PART 3 - First name bases.Elaine's POVI realized he kissed me on the lips after 30 seconds of having both of our lips together. I was so surprised that I pushed him away and slapped him across the face."How dare you kiss me, jerk!" I yelled angrily at him.Duke just touched the cheeks where I slapped him without showing any pain in his expression. "Don't be too exaggerating Elaine, it's not like I've committed a heinous crime by kissing my own wife's lips," he reasoned."Not if it's by force, then it's a crime, you jerk!" I retorted.He chuckled at what I said, "no, it's not when I'm proving to my dear wife that we're close enough to call each other first names because we're a married couple," he reasoned again."And because we're already married, we need to be affectionate with each other by calling each other's name," he added.What kind of illogical reasoning is that?! I strongly disagree and do not understand how he is thinking in his head."It is not

I understand her sentiment and simply enjoy teasing her with every idea that comes to mind.She glared at me when she finally surrendered and believed that she can't escape sleeping Together with me in one bed."Even though we're sleeping on the same bed, NO TOUCHING!" she warned, emphasizing the word to me more. Immediately turned her back at me to walk towards the bed.To tease her, I raised an eyebrow and pretended to give her body a boring look. "Elaine, how could you have such a low opinion of me, I don't force any woman to sleep with me, and you are not my type to be honest," I replied back, but I was only lying.Well, her body is my type, and I'm doing my best not to touch her insanely because I don't want her to be scared of me. I couldn't help but be cold and tease her.Immediately, her face turns red with rage, and she looks at me again, her vivid cerulean
Chapter 12 - WEDDING NIGHT PART 5 - Dirty thoughts be goneElaine's POVI immediately turned on the cold shower after giving that Bastard one last warning not to peek while I was inside the bathroom. I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart and my body, which was still reeling from the words Bastard had described, which had caused my body to become so unstable.Fuck, I didn't expect my body to spin out of control as I listened to that jerk talk about how he was going to touch my body. It made my body tremble with desire, as if it remembered how I was touched on the night we made love and I didn't even remember what happened.The cold shower isn't helping to calm my body, which is still feeling hot all over the place, as he described in his deep vulgar tone, and his eyes continue to roam my body. It's as if he's kissing every place he looks with his eyes. While anticipating and whimpering silently, I did my best not to let him see or hear my moaning." ARGH! Elaine Cai, just stop t

Which surprises Duke because of what I had done all of sudden." What are you doing?!" He asked me in a confused voice."I'm just playing peek-a-boo with you," I said sarcastically, "like duh clearly I'm covering your face!" and shouted at him for being foolish."But why are you covering up my face?" he questioned again, perplexed by my actions.I don't want to tell him because it's so embarrassing, but the reason I was covering his face with both of my hands was because I was completely naked in front of him."Hey Elaine, you got quite in there, have you turned stone on top because your body is becoming heavier?" he questioned again, teasingly.I cannot believe he just assumes that my body is so heavy when I am not that fat! That's not fair.He tried to reposition his body as Duke abruptly grabbed my waist and yan
Chapter 14 - sprained right legELAINE'S POVIt was early dawn when I opened my eyes, and I could hear birds singing outside our room. I carefully pushed myself out of bed. As my mind is still not fully awake, I gaze about the room.While I continued to look at the empty space, the door unexpectedly opened, surprising me, and I glanced to see who had entered. It was none other than Duke Hayes who arrived with a platter of food."Good morning Elaine, you're already awake, I brought you your breakfast for this morning," he said as he moved towards the bed with a tray in his hand.As he approached, I could smell the delectable scent of the food in the air as he brought it towards me, making my empty stomach growl like a beast that hasn't fed in days." Here you go, Elaine, enjoy your breakfast," he remarked as he approached the bed I was still seated on.He quickly placed the tray near my bed, and I looked at the food with desire in my eyes. The meal in the tray included crispy bread, f

As I cursed the insect to hell, I muttered.I heard the door open and turned to see who had entered. "Are you ready?" Duke questioned as he moved towards the bed.I nodded in response to his question, but I was confused. "Where is the Wheelchair? I need something to ride on," I said.He simply smiled as if I were joking with my question, "no need
Chapter 16 - lovedDuke's POVAs much as I dislike coming off Elaine's lap, I had to raise my head in annoyance when we arrived at the hospital. And I didn't anticipate Elaine to let me stay on her lap while we drove silently to the hospital, which made me smile discreetly.Elaine nudges my body to stir me up, saying, "Hey, wake up, we've arrived at the hospital."And because I wanted to tease her I didn't open my eyes and continued to pretend to sleep in her lap comfortably. "Are you really not going to wake up?" she said, nudging my body harder this time.My body almost slid off the seat, but I pretended that I had just awoken from a nap and stared at Elaine's displeased face, which I hadn't expected to be so close to mine. As we both look at each other, my body freezes.I want to kiss those kissable lips as I did Elaine's lips last night. Elaine's eyes are filled with confusion and astonishment as she looks at me. I'm hoping to capture her reaction right now. It's humorous while a

I yell angrily, looking him in the eyes.He only smirks at me, as if he likes torturing me, his cold blooded midnight eyes glaring at me triumphantly. He let go of my face as if it had burnt him."We're almost there," Duke said as he gazed out the car window.So I looked outside and observed that the road we're on isn't the same one we used to go to the hotel where we slept the night before."Where are we going?" I questioned, returning my gaze to Duke, who was now shutting his eyes."You'll know soon, stop talking, I'll sleep again," he answered coldly, without offering me an explanation, and went back to sleep.What a jerk! If I could only smack his face again, I'd gladly do it harder than the last time. I merely rolled my eyes and continued to stare outside the car, trying to enjoy looking at the various vehicles and buildings as the car drove by.While I was looking outside of the car window,

He immediately sensed that I was coming down and looked up towards me. While looking at my face Duke has a surprise expression on his face as if he saw something that made him have that expression.I just continued walking down until I reached the last step of the stairs where Duke was still gazing at my face without moving since he had seen me." Hello, earth to Duke?" I teased him as I moved my palm in front of his eyes while smiling awkwardly at him." Oh Yes, sorry" Duke apologizes when he stops gazing at me " it's just your outfit Elaine Ahmm" he continued saying with an uncomfortable voice.I look down at the clothes that I was wearing and look back at Duke with confusion in my face " What's wrong with what I am wearing?"

I remarked at him.Duke's face turned serious when he heard me say " no place is safe Elaine, even when we are talking casually together, maybe someone is already targeting you right now and you just don't know it will be your last day on earth" Duke explained something I don't quite understand."

Yes of course I am fine don't worry Reya " I lied to Reya as I got up from bed." Okay miss, are you going to wash up first or rest?" Reya asked me again as she walked towards the wardrobe."

While Duke softly pushes my wheelchair as we return together.Is he genuine about accomplishing what I requested even if there's no reward? I wasn't expecting to hear him agree to what I asked him regarding the type of reward I'd offer him; I was kidding a little when I asked if he'd do whatever I wanted even if it wasn't a reward."
