Christian's POVConfusion clouded my mind as I stared into the face of Bernard; Belle's childhood friend and bestfriend, wondering what the hell he was doing in my house.He stood up from his seat immediately I entered and had a weird expression on his face. He always annoyed me with that look, as if he was better than everyone else.I was mad that I had wasted my beloved time to find out that the supposed man in my house was only Bernard."Hello Christian." He said to acknowledge me.He was used to saying just few words to me. Even at the court, when Belle and I had signed the marriage forms, 'Hello Christian' had been the only thing he had said to me throughout the entire time."Hello Bernard." I said in return and turned to talk to Belle."You didn't tell me we were expecting a visitor." I said trying my best not to sound angry at her. She didn't need to know I was pissed off."I didn't know he was coming either." She replied. "He only called when he was at the airport and I gave h

Belle's POVI stood at the doorway staring at him. His noise had brought me out of my room and seeing how he struggled on the bed when I came in, got me scared."How long have you been standing there for?" He asked again, still breathing heavily."Christian I...""Get out!" He said.I was dumbfounded, I sincerely hoped in my heart that what I had seen had not been one of his sleep disorders."Allow me....." I started walking into the room but halted on my heels when I caught the look on his face."Out!" He shouted. "Get out Belle!" I turned at the order and walked out of the room.I didn't know why I had walked into his room. He had explained and marked our territories. I wasn't supposed to go in there.I sat at the dinning, tapping my foot on the ground. He had been very rude and arrogant towards me from the beginning of the contract but I still found a way to worry about his well being in my heart.He stormed into the dining room moments later and walked straight to me. The expressi

Bella's POVHis lips was soft and the kiss felt like magic. Although I was angry with him for kissing me without my permission, it felt good to have his lips on mine. I thought I remembered what it felt like to kiss him, but I didn't. This was a whole new experience.He didn't deepen the kiss. He only held it for a while, probably to get the attention of the public before withdrawing.He looked at me, his expression quite difficult to read."That is how to act like a newly wedded couple, Belle." He said.Turning away from his gaze, I placed by chin on his shoulder and allowed him to continue to sway me to the rhythm of the music. A lot of pictures were taken of us as others in attendance stared, wondering who I was dancing with Christian Martin."You shouldn't do that Christian." I said, keeping my voice low. "You had no right to do that""Don't get ahead of yourself. It was just a kiss. One to show that we are together, nothing more." He reminded me.The music ended and everyone sat

Christian's POV.I didn't know which was worse, seeing the information displayed on the screen or watching Belle's face filled with disbelief. I didn't know how the rumour had come about because the only thing I had done throughout that party was introduce Belle as my wife to almost everyone I had come across with.And what in God's name did they mean by a new mistress? I turned to look at Belle and she sat back down on her chair."Mistress?" She exclaimed quietly. "A new mistress?" Her voice was usually calm and I found myself wanting to explain things to her."Calm down, Belle." I said to her. "It's just a rumour. People say what they think will make waves. Besides it's an entertainment news not something serious.""They called me your mistress." She exclaimed again, oblivious to my prior explanations and I sighed."You shouldn't be surprised at that Belle." Gabrielle started. "For someone as popular as Christian, those are the kind of things you should expect expecially since you g

Christian's POV Nothing could beat the expression on Belle's face as I stared at her almost naked body. Her white gown was gone and she was left with her panties on and her breasts bare. I wanted to look away but I couldn't. My gaze travelled down her body and then back to her before I brought myself to turn my eyes away. "You could knock!" She exclaimed when I didn't speak to her. If only she knew that I was trying to find my voice. She still had an amazing body and memories of how I enjoyed touching her began to flood my brain. "Christian!" She called. "You should apologize. Where are your manners?" She asked. I turned to look at her for a moment, controlling my heartbeat and desires before finally finding the urge to speak. "It's just a normal woman body, Belle. I've seen lots of those. And besides we are married. Why do I need to knock in my own bedroom?" I asked and the confusion on her face spread. She opened her mouth in shock, too stunned to speak. I didn't know which of

Belle's POV."What the hell does she want?" Alexander thundered at me as I stood beside the door. I turned to look at Christian and there was relief on his face, as if he was happy that I had interrupted them.Lucy shrugged her shoulders and opened her palm as she walked into the study. She took a seat beside Christian."Leave us, woman." Alexander said to her. "And take your daughter in law with you, we are discussing something important." He added, turning to look at Christian with the intention of continuing from where they had left off in the conversation.Christian stood up immediately and walked to the door, to his father's dismay."I'll see her, father. To know what she wants. It might be important." He replied while walking to me."Sure. Emotions again." I heard Alexander say as we walked out of the study together. Alone in our bedroom, Christian turned to me."Yes? What do you want?" He asked in a harsh tone.Here we go again."What was happening in there?" I asked. "What wer

Belle's POVChristian was staring at me with fire in his eyes. I wondered how long he had been standing there, waiting for me to walk in. It was quite ridiculous.I strolled into the room ignoring his stare and going straight to perform the business of undressing myself for the night."You were not going to give a response so I did in your stead. You should be thanking me." I said to him as I brought out my night wear from the wardrobe.I turned to see if he was going to give me privacy to undress but since he didn't look like he wanted to move, I turned my back to him again."You feel you can speak the way you want now?" He asked, still pissed."I don't get what you are so mad about." I answered. "You told me to play my cards right, to act in love with you and that was exactly what I did."Taking off my dress and not caring if he were staring at me or not, I replaced it with my night dress and turned to see him breathing hard."Your parents asked you a question and you froze. I answe

Belle's POVAlexander looked at the door and me simultaneously as if trying to get a hang of what was actually going on.He moved past me and banged on the door, the sound very loud considering the time of the night. I said nothing to him as he continued to bang, it was his house afterall.Christian opened the door with a scrowl on his face probably thinking I were the one knocking. His look didn't change when he saw his father, it only hardened."What are you up to, Christian? Open the door." Alexander said."Leave dad, this is none of your business." Christian replied. Alexander peeped in and was able to see Lucy on the floor, Gabrielle still doing her best to offer her support."What is wrong with your mother this time around?" He asked."Leave, dad. Just go away." He said and shut the door again, this time even louder than he had when he sent me away. I realized that Alexander was probably the cause of the ruckus going on in there and Christian knows but Alexander wasn't aware tha
