Silence filled the car once again, the driver turned the engine on and drove slowly out of the parking lot. Alex didn't say anything. He could feel her gaze on him but he kept his eyes fixed on the window. Not that he didn't care. It's quite the opposite. From the way they looked at her, talked to her, and put her in this situation, already talking so much about it. Now, he was thinking about where to start with them. Aria leaned on her seat as she looked around. This was not the car Alex usually used. This one was bigger and spacious, even with her thick and big dress, she didn't feel cramped. This made her feel more relieved. “Alex,” Aria called him. Alex turned his head to her. “Hm.” "Do you know about this wedding?" She asked. She had been curious since earlier. “Yes,” Alex answered briefly. "Then, do you know I am the bride?" Alex looked at her closely. Aria would usually look away because her gaze was too intimidating. But this time she didn't want to lose. She wanted t
"Don't you think it's a bit too much?" Aria laughed amusedly. They were walking further into the mansion and went to the second floor. Aria enjoyed everything as Alex gave her little mansion tour in silence.They finally arrived in front of another big, heavy-looking door. Alex put his thumb on the handle and Aria heard a click sound. She looked at it in amazed.Apperantly, it was a huge bedroom. Aria guessed it was Alex’s and knew she was right because when they entered she could feel a man owned this room. Of course, it was another luxury room in this castle, Aria thought. But it looked much simpler than the other room they passed by.“This room is… you.” Aria giggled.“Hm?” Alex looked around and stopped at her.“It’s really you…” Alex waited for her to explain further but it seemed Aria was busy enjoying this place.Does she like it or not? It was the point for Alex. He needed to talk with Albert about this.Anyway, there was a feeling of relief within him when he saw that the u
Aria didn't understand. What made Alex look so… upset?He walked away from the mirror and back to the couch to get his suit. “We just got married and you want to leave.”Aria was sure he was mumbling but she could hear him clearly."I do not mean it." Aria approached him but Alex walked around to a door which Aria guessed was the bathroom door. Without even looking at her.“Well, I didn't know you were so indifferent about this. You even want to leave your husband and we just got married." After that, he opened the door and went inside, ignoring Aria who was trying to call him.“Alex! I do not mean it!" Aria clung to the bathroom door but she didn't dare open it. She hoped that Alex would still listen to what she said.Aria stood still in front of the door, with all the feelings of guilt that now haunted her.Of course, Alex did it on purpose...He smirked when he remembered her face that immediately regretted everything as if she was doing and saying something wrong. Which she did no
Aria was looking at the dresses and clothes hanging here and there according to their colors and styles. Once again, she gaped in amazement. What company does Alex own that he could have this many expensive things? He even had a room bigger than her apartment’s room for all these clothes. Not only clothes, but shoes, bags, and many other accessories were here. “He opened a store or something?” Aria muttered to herself. Now she was in front of a wardrobe for women's clothing and accessories. Alex said earlier that these were hers. However, Aria couldn't find where her old clothes are. These were all women's clothes. And they seemed to suit her body size. But these were all new clothes. Did Alex give all this to her? As a woman, of course she was happy. But then she thought again. Wasn’t this too much? Finally, Aria chose a simple sky blue dress with a strap on her shoulders that could be tied like a ribbon. The dress was not too short. Just below her knees and not too tight. It wa
That night, Alex managed to persuade Aria to went back to the mansion after he agreed to go to her apartment so she could water her flowers first. Alex secretly ordered his men to bring all pots of her flowers to the mansion garden so that she didn’t need to back to that apartment. When they arrived at the mansion, Aria was already asleep in the car and Alex carried her to the bedroom. She didn't wake up when Alex picked her up, carried her bridal style to the bedroom, and put her on the soft bed. Other people would think that she was too tired. However, Alex knew very well that this was all because of the medicine he mixed in Aria's drink in the car. Alex sighed and shook his head. He didn't do that because Aria was heavy. But thinking that he wouldn't do this with anyone else at all. Never before, and never would if that person wasn't Aria. He stopped to admire her beautiful sleeping face. In his entire life, this was the first time he had allowed someone else to sleep in his be
Aria blinked her eyes several times before she woke up completely. But she closed her eyes again and hugged the warm and hard pillow next to her. It’s so comfy even though it was very dense and hard. It also smells really great and she loved it. But there was something strange about this pillow. It also could hug her back… and she could clearly hear sounds like a steady heartbeat and breathing from this pillow. Since when a pillow can do that? Aria's eyes widened when she realized that she was not hugging a pillow but a man. A shirtless, muscular, very sexy, and very sleepy man. Aria froze in her place and didn't dare to move an inch. Her face immediately turned red when she realized their very intimate position. They were laying, facing each other. With one of Alex's arms under her head, the other wrapped around her waist, hugging her tightly. Meanwhile, she herself wrapped her arms around his body, with one leg wrapped around his waist. The difference in height between them, m
"Are you a Cannibal?" That was not the reaction he expected. Even someone like Alexander couldn't hold his laughter anymore. He laughed with his deep chuckles and his shoulders shook. His head still on her neck. Meanwhile Aria was speechless. "What's so funny about it? I asked you seriously, you know?" Aria tried to lifted his heavy head but she failed. "Wait, are you laughing?" She asked with a wide smile on her face as she realized it. "Alex? Come on! Let me see your face! You never even smile before! Now you laugh and you don't want to look at me? Come on?!" Aria sulked. Alex finally lifted his head but this time Aria didn't get to look at his face. Because he already glued himself to her by their lips. He smacked her lips with his, almost moan feeling the softness. Aria freeze in shock. Her eyes wide open a second earlier but she closed it tightly. It's only last three seconds and Alex withdraw himself from her. Leaving her in her confuse state. He chuckled looking at her
"Alex?" Aria turned her head in surprised as she saw who's just sat next to her. "I thought you were going already." She whispered it to him.Meanwhile, Jasmine' eyes widened as she didn't expect to see Alexander here at all. She moved anxiously at her chair, regretted that she rejected her mother's offer to go with her earlier. Now, what should she do? Alex glanced at her, "I miss you." He simply said. He was saying iy flatly buy Aria blushed hearing it. Plus, what happened this morning between them flashed back in her mind made her even more shy. Aria poke him by her elbow. Alex didn't react as it didn't hurt him a bit. Instead, he take her hand and keep it on his lap. "So, Miss Wellbert, you are talking about the money your father sent to my wife. Let me see the check." Jasmine racked her almost empty brain to make this conversatiom worth it. She can't lose this chance. Alexander is here. He is right here in front of her. She was the one who suppose to be on his side. Not this u
