ELVIRA"Hendrix, can you actually hear yourself and how ridiculous you sound right now?" I ask with a raised brow. "Like...can you even imagine how Demetrius would react with me playing a romantic dinner in the background?"Hendrix giggles as he speaks up. "That would be hilarious," he says.I facepalm myself. Hendrix is such a doofus! But, I have to do what he says to supposedly make my darling husband fall for me. Like...how ridiculous does that even sound?!"Alright, I would do that," I say with a tired sigh."That's my girl!" Hendrix says excitedly as he grins from ear to ear like a Cheshire cat. "Now, are you ready for the next part?" he asks."Yes, sir," I reply.He then turns his attention to the phone. Looking up at me again, he has a 'you would regret this' expression on his face."Hendrix," I call, watching him with suspicion. "What does the next point say?""Umm," he starts, gulping down saliva. "This...this might be the cringiest point of the day."I sigh tiredly. I've alr

ELVIRAI cry with pain, bawling my eyes out. Demetrius's words and accusations really hurt me. How could he say something like that? Does he see me as a goddamn slut that doesn't know how to control her sexual urges?“Oh my God,” I whimper as I cover my face with my palm to shield my tear-stained face from Demetrius.At this point, a wave of regret washes over me. If I had known, I wouldn't have entered this contract marriage with Demetrius! I regret it so much now! I would have just messed around like the slut Demetrius thought I was and gotten the money to pay for Andrew's surgery!My mind drifts off to my family, by this time we might have been having a cup of hot tea together, while knitting with my mother. But here I am, trying so hard to seduce a monster! I have sacrificed my happiness and my freedom just to be his obedient dog.After what feels like an eternity of crying, I dry my tears and pick up my phone and handbag.“I'm sorry for even cooking or setting this up in the firs

ELVIRA"Seems like the dinner is over, I would be in my room if you need me," I say as I slowly make to get up from my seat. "Hold on," I say in a hurry, stopping him just before he could go. "I..I have one more thing." He looks at me with a sly smirk on his lips. "Hmm..I see," he says with a low growl as he sits back down. "What would this be? I'm eager to find out!" "Um.. it's it's..massage," I force myself to say. "I want to you know..give you a massage." "A massage?" He repeats with a smirk dancing across his lips. "I love massages, especially sensual ones," he snarls. I furrow my brows, sensual what? It was just a harmless massage, that's all. "It's..it is just a massage, no strings attached," I say as I get up from my seat and walk towards him.I feel so nervous but I know I have to do it, this is the last thing I have to do. "If..if you don't mind, I would start massaging you right now," I say as I get behind him and place my hands on his shoulders.I bit down on my lip

ELVIRASilently, I eat my food with pain. Demetrius is just so mean with his words.After some moments, Demetrius finishes with his food and stands up. My dad eyes follow him as he spins his heel and begins walking out of the door.Suddenly, he stops on his tracks and turns back to meet my gaze. Almost immediately, I bring my eyes down.“Umm.." he starts, his deep voice ringing in the hall. “Whatever you are doing, make sure you are back before 4:00," he says with a low gruff voice.At that moment, I am overwhelmed with happiness, he has finally allowed me to go!“Thank you! Thank you so much!" I say gratefully, the corners of my lips curving up into a broad smile. He has just made my day!He does not say anything and just turns and walks out of the door. Even if he is giving me the cold treatment, I know he cannot stand seeing me sad.I start munching on my food a little bit faster than before and after a short period of time, I finish eating.I immediately get up and hurry to my roo

ELVIRAI scoff at her words, ridiculous! Just as I am about to reply to her tantrums, a cute little childish squeal interrupts us.“Oh my God! Miss Elvira, long time no see!" Little Miss Betty squeals as she jumps up and gives me a tight hug. “I have missed you so much!"“I've missed you too, darling," I reply with a soft smile as I hug her warmly. Betty is my mini best friend and the first time I set my eyes on her, I just fell in love with her outspoken, charismatic, and free personality.I really pity her because she was abandoned by her family to suffer and die, but fortunately, I rescued her at a subway station, almost being crushed to death by a train and saved her. Fortunately, she was unharmed but I just suffered a few bruises which went away after some days. I still remember the painful incident like it was yesterday.“Where have you been?!" She asks again, her childish voice bringing me back to reality."Umm...your Miss Elvira has been really busy,” I reply with a smile. "An
