ANMELDEN~ Emilia ~
“That look was lustful. " I said and stood up, trying to steer his mind away from the fact that my body betrayed me. When Adrain crawled over me earlier, my body responded to his presence, and when he pulled my hair away from my face, my entire body shook at that slightest touch. And just now when he was about leaving, my nipple stood firm, pointing to his face from my half-soaked shirt. Adrain chuckled and stepped closer again. He held my chin up and looked into my eyes. “I’m your husband, Emilia; I can look at them the way I want.” “But the contract says no intimacy. " I said weakly, my body shaking over his touch. “Yes, no intimacy, I only looked," he said, then bent his face close to mine. He took his right hand and slowly moved it to my chest. At this moment, my pussy was already wet. And I could feel my juice dropping on my panties. “Wow.” He chuckled and flickered a brow. "Your heart beat could possibly be heard.” He pulled his hands away from my chest. “Ivy will help you move your things to my room. So pack them up and get ready." He whispered and then turned back to the door. He stopped and took one last glance at me before closing the door. I gently sat back on my bed. Adrain was really messing with my brain. He hasn’t even kissed me yet, and I got wet. I really need to put my acts together before he gets hold of this. I looked down at my pussy, and I could feel my panties already soaked. I raised my dress a little bit and slid my fingers into my underwear to touch my swollen pussy. It was all filled. I limped to the bathroom to go clean myself up. I undressed and looked at myself once again in the mirror, admiring my curve, when my eyes caught the mark at my upper back. The mark made me remember home. Ava, her mother, and my dad. I sighed and entered the bathtub. Turning on the shower, I gently sat down to let the water fall freely on my clitoris. As I washed the juice off, I slowly used my fingers to caress my pussy. I moaned Adrain's name softly, wishing he was the one tickling my pussy like the way the water does. I stood when I was done and dried off my body, then changed into another cloth. Packing my things was the next thing I’d plan on doing, and then I'd move to Adrian's room. My eyes caught the moonlight drawing that I wanted to hang on the wall earlier before it fell on me. And something about it seemed off. Adrain had looked at it with so much attention and care, and the way he caressed it with concern made me more curious. I walked back to my bed and picked it up, reading every detail of the drawing to find out anything. Just anything. I turned the back of the frame and found a word written down on it. ‘Charlotte.’ My breath hitched. What is this with this Charlotte drama? How is Ava mistaken for Charlotte, or was there a girl after Ava at the party when I slumped? I needed to find out more about this. My eyes caught the big dresser drawer I had found the frame on. And I stood and walked up to it. I never made use of it since I started using the room, and neither have I looked into it except for today, and I stopped right after finding the beautiful drawing. I tugged open the dresser drawer and cross-checked the part where I found the frame, but there was nothing else there. I pulled the smaller drawer attached to it. And I found a small black bag carefully laid on it. I took it out and tried to open it but found out it was sealed. I tore it open and found a journal. I stared at the journal and went to sit on the couch. I flipped through the first page of the book, and a word was boldly written on it. ‘Charlotte Everton’ I flipped to the next page, curious to find out what was contained in it. I only found a drawing. It was the exact one in the frame. But a drawing of two little kids that held each other's hand was attached to it. And from what it seemed, they were looking at the moonlight. I adjusted in my seat and flipped to the next page. “What the hell are you doing with that?" I heard Adrain's stern voice. I sprang up from the couch as the journal fell to the floor.~ Emilia ~The bang I felt on my head when I woke up was massive.I smiled, remembering how Adrain carried me in his arms to my room and then tucked me into bed after I told him I felt sleepy. He really cared, though. He ensured the vase didn’t hit my head, not just once but thrice.How do you feel when someone you think doesn't love you suddenly starts to care? The feeling is reassuring, so reassuring that you would fall for him again.I rolled myself out of the bed and headed to the bathroom.When I came back to my room, my mind raced back to the event that played earlier. How could a vase drop from the servants' quarters not even once but three whole times?Something is off. I sat down on my bed and crossed my leg, looking up to the sky as the thoughts flew in.I saw the figure, at least from his neck down to his head. But they were all covered in a black mask; I couldn’t see his face.Why would someone throw off a vase without even checking if someone was there? Let's say the v
~ Adrain ~I paced in my room, patiently waiting for Austin to arrive.“You called me." Austin bowed as soon as he stepped in."Earlier at the courtyard, did you make sure all the guards were present?" I stopped to face him.He tilted his head, then nodded."Yes, Alpha, I made sure they all left their quarters."“No," I shook my head. “They didn’t all leave their quarters.” I leaned closer.“Who then threw the glass?"“The glass?" Austin echoed, confused.“Yes, the vase. Not just once or even twice, but thrice. Three fucking times." I made the sign with my hands for clearer understanding.Austin still looked confused, and then I knew I needed to explain.“After addressing the guards, I was leaving and then bumped into Emilia, and next thing, a vase fell from the servant quarters almost hitting her.” I paused.Austin's expression was unreadable, but a mix of shock and confusion was written all over him.“I pulled her out the first time, the second, and the third time." I clenched my fi
~ Emilia ~I grunted deep and pushed him off my body.“I didn’t ask for your help. " I eyed him and turned to go."Emilia." He called and grabbed my hand, pulling me close to him.My body fell into his, like my right hand.on his chest.“Arghhhh." I screamed as the glass fell the second time, shattering on the floor inches before me.I rested my head on his chest and shut my eyes tightly. The glass would have shattered on my head if not for Adrain.I opened my eyes and raised my head to look at him, and our eyes met.'No,' I screamed in my head. Don't fall for this Emilia. He just wanted to save you, not because you are special. It’s still the same thing he would have done for anyone that stood there.I disentangled from his hold."Thanks," I muttered and turned to leave when his voice stopped me."Just wait, Emilia.”I stopped in my tracks without turning to face him.He walked up to me and held my shoulders.“You are upset with me, Emilia.” He started.I stood still, not even movin
~ Emilia ~ I watched Adrain leave and shook my head in disgust. Adrain isn't even worth my love. But wasn’t I even a fool for falling for someone who made it clear in the first place that our marriage was just for paper's sake and nothing else attached to it? But something off was going on in this pack. I have overheard Austin complaining about a curse and the death of someone. I hissed; it shouldn’t be any of my business though. The pack's affairs aren't meant to be bothering me. My next plan was finding out more about Charlotte and how she is anyway, Ava. I looked at the drawing and made up my mind not to continue with it or even look at it ever again. I needed to concentrate on my well-being till the marriage days elapse, and I would leave just as he said. I folded back the half-painted drawing, including the box of instruments I needed for the drawing, and headed outside to trash it. I didn’t want to trash it anywhere close because looking at it might make me wa
~ Adrain ~I woke up with my head pounding severely.I closed my eyes, trying to remember the event of the previous day.I recalled them one after the other.Charlotte was attacked by some red-haired girl whose identity still remained unknown to me. Though she confirmed she knew her.But how?I sprang up from the bed, recalling she had a cut on her palm while trying to save herself.I took my phone from the bedside table and scrolled through, searching for her number.Shit! I didn’t have her contact; we communicated through letters just as she requested.I climbed down from my bed and headed to the bathroom when I felt a heavier bang on my head.I walked back to my bed and sat down.“My goodness,” I exclaimed.The incident of last night slammed into me. And I clenched my fist. What did I just do? Tried to be intimate with Emilia and even mistook her for Charlotte, mentioning Charlotte's name at that point.Emilia's face played on my head. Though I was drunk, I could recall how tear
~ Emilia ~I had waited up almost all night waiting for Adrain. But he didn’t show up.I was a bit confused on why I was actually waiting for him, not like he cared about me, though.We weren’t even married as normal couples. It was just a contract marriage that would last for a few days.“I don’t think he is going to show up, ma'am. " His beta Austin bowed after watching me pacing up and down in the living room for hours."It's fine, Austin. Not necessarily waiting for him, though. I just couldn’t sleep.”Adrain moved towards the door. “Alpha mentioned he wouldn’t be home early, so I think you should just go in and sleep." He said and left."My goodness," I exhaled.Why was I even waiting for someone who didn't know I was waiting for him?I sighed heavily and went up to my room.I tossed on my bed, trying to sleep, but I couldn’t.I rose from the bed and decided to still wait for him a little while.I came back to the living room and sat down; my mind raced with thoughts as I stared
