While Armando kept equally acting weird, a knock at the door captured us like always, he rolled his eyes in irritation and slammed a yes to signal the visitor to enter in. The door opened and a well-formed man in the same suit as Nicolas came in but he wasn’t as handsome as him.

“Master, all the arrangements have been made,” the guard announced him subduedly,

“Wait for me outside,” he gave him a cold response and shortly told him to leave quickly by his eyes, they held bizarre savagedom which expressed his wild concepts of cruelty, and before he applied that on him that wretched man left the room.

“Now I can also decipher his stratagems,” I thought to myself

“Kitten, shall we move?” he asked quietly. Suddenly the ground from my feet slipped away when I processed his words which I least wished to hear, “Where?” I gaspingly questioned,

“Obviously to our room baby girl,” he threw a green light on fact and I innerly panted down in relief, thanks to the heaven he’s not bragging me with himself, “Travel is not reliable for you in such condition otherwise I’d have never left you alone,” he said with a slight touch of Spaniard accent

“OH THANK GOD! I CAN’T TRAVEL. I’M SO THANKFUL FOR IT” Again my inner self mocked while wryly clapping on his wise decision

He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pushed a little along with him to cue me to step ahead. We amble in the same position with Nicolas behind us as our shieldman although we were in a mansion secured by hundreds of guards he still performed his duty responsibly. We set our feet in my room and Nicolas stayed outside and a point that is to be noted why I call it only mine is because Armando only comes here to bother me with his existence, to tell me that he’s around me no matter what I do to stay away from him, even he started working from home to keep a check on me. Since the day I tried to escape him he got more vigilant than ever. He doesn’t leave me alone but till now. He has to go.

He made me sit on the bed with his hands resting on my shoulders, “Before you think to harm my heir or run away again during my absence, I need to make it clear that there’s no way in hell you can hide from me. You should pin that in your mind.” He demandingly uttered his words to get my acquiescence; briefing me to behave well before his flight to Brazil for his business purpose, he told me this when he were heading here. 

“Where would I go after escaping your world?” I emitted out my sentence with dullness, he smugly smirked on my submissive response

“My darling, you are going to be my wife and the mother of my child, so I suggest you act like one.”

“And how is it to act like?”

“It is to stay beside me in public and under me in private,” he fanned his words on my forehead and put a protective kiss “I’d love you to welcome me with something surprising when I come back,” he whispered and stood straight after leaving me to decode his meaning behind his clue. I simply nodded to tell him that I get it whereas, in reality, it was a big fat lie. At one side, I was happy about his departure but on the other, I was feeling like left out. There won’t be anyone to oversee me and I don’t know who will I contact if my health get worse. Maybe that’s why he hired Nicolas. 

While debating with my mind, I saw him stepping away and before he leaves to depart, A sudden feeling of hugging him had me all. I got up and walked to him; clung my arms around his chest from behind. I don’t know why I did this. I just wanted a manly hug. I didn’t get it from the man I desired but still, it’s better than nothing. He turned around and wrapped his arms equally around my petite frame and after a long period of us pouring emotions in each other, I pulled off where he first resisted but eventually left me.

“Now get yourself under the covers,” he mumbled and I looked at him with a questionable look, “You look tired, get some sleep,” he said and I inwardly sighed and nodded, “yeah… but it would be better if grab a meal first,” I offered my viewpoint and he hummed as in approval, “Can I get it here? I don’t feel like going somewhere” I added

“As you wish” he smiled.

He was polite and understanding, this was the side I liked of him the most. When he’s angry, he feels like a beast with fangs but watching him this way, he seemed to be making efforts in changing himself to kindness. “So? Am I allowed to leave?” he asked,

I grinned, “You may leave,” I replied with my bright eyes sparkling after accepting the changes in him,

He sauntered towards the exit then he said, “Nic will be serving you your meal,” just as he said he opened the door, stepped outside, and closed it carefully. I couldn’t help but think why is he only allowing him to serve me in my room, there were others before him who were doing their best so why had he arranged him to be his eyes and ears.

Maybe he’s doing that purposely to test me if I cheat him or not,

Just as I was busy in my wonderland for quite long minutes, somebody knocked at the door lightly. I responded to the call and permitted an unknown to enter in,

As the door opened; a butler arrived with a loaded trolley of food, he pushed it to the mini dining table beside an enormous window, I narrowed my eyes to focus on the trolley which had many dishes there that I never saw before, the aroma of delicious cuisine dispersed over the room real quick and left me with an unwanted growl in my stomach. Behind the butler, Nicolas was standing, scanning me as if he cracked my hunger.

“Malady, we are at your service please order us to serve you,” the butler spoke in his traditional accent while I strode towards them

My eyes roamed at the menu and found out the word steak, I asked the butler to serve it. I smoothly seated on the chair and unfolded the napkin in a neat manner while the butler speedily dished out my plate. I picked up the cutlery to strike my meal and took my first bite. It was heavenly, juicy, and delicious. I kept munching for a while until I noticed someone’s eyes on me, the feeling hit my chest was heavy so I turned around to catch the culprit, one’s head bowed down and the other had sharp eyes on me; seemingly staring at me. His eyes made me swallow my bite audibly.
