The Dunkelheit couple, on the other hand, spent the night enjoying each other's company.
Poor Diana, who suffered the delicious sexual harassment of her super handsome husband, was having trouble getting out of bed in the morning.
The sun had barely risen over the horizon when Alexander woke her up and helped her wash.
The couple went down the marble staircase for breakfast.
Ignoring Diana's protests, Alexander persuaded her to eat, and when she refused, he practically forced her to eat.
"Oh, my queen doesn't want to eat?"
"If I keep eating like this, I'm going to be a fat pig. You don't want a wife with a huge belly, right?"
"You don't want to eat, all right, we can go back to the bedroom and I'll make your belly grow otherwise." Alexander smiled mischievously and put his hand on Diana's thigh, stroking it lightly.
Diana felt her femininity tighten and felt a slight discomfort in her belly. He had been fierce and rather rude the night before. It was delicious, but the subsequent pain wasn't very pleasant, so she quickly picked up the fork and put a piece of sweet bread filled with cream and grated coconut in her mouth.
Alexander knew that Diana had a disgust for food and that she should work with her psychologist to treat her anorexia but, he could not allow his wife not to consume the necessary nutrients, especially now that he was working so hard to put a baby in the belly. her.
After breakfast, Alexander led Diana to the shooting training room.
Knowing the rather frightening situation in which she would live, Diana just took a deep breath.
She knew Alexander's hands weren't exactly clean from the start. He never fooled her, but he never said the situation clearly either.
Training to kill was not what she expected him to ask her to do when she considered marrying him.
After two hours of shooting training, Alexander took her to the gym, where she trained for another two hours weight training and aerobic activities.
When the hellish training finally ended, Alexander proposed a rest, and that was all Diana wanted most.
Alexander held Diana's hand and they returned to his quarters.
After a shower, the couple decided to have tea in the Hellenic parlor. The room was in the west wing, and was a favorite of Alexander.
The hall was large, the east wall white, with a white marble fireplace. The other walls had been replaced by glass and large Doric columns, curtains of white and semi-transparent fabric adorned the windowpanes.
Outside the hall was a balcony that surrounded the area, several gardeners were on the Parapet, full of red cyclamens.
The view was of the lake and the snowy mountains.
Inside the hall, four Doric marble columns about five feet high circled the room, above them were bronze braziers.
In the middle of the room were white sofas decorated with woolen blankets and royal blue pillows and a coffee table made of bronze and glass.
The whole room had an old and cozy atmosphere.
When they reached the room, the snow began to fall slightly. A cold wind blew in through the open balcony door.
Alexander quickly closed the porch door and turned on the heater. He rang a bell on the coffee table and a maid appeared.
"Lunch should be served in one hour. Bring the tea."
"Yes, sir."
The maid left quickly, leaving the couple alone.
"It's a beautiful salon. Very poetic."
"Indeed. I like to come here to relax. My father used to tell me legends and ancient myths here while we drank tea."
"I'd like to see that. Speaking of dad, when will I meet your mom?"
"When she gets back from travel. I feel you will get along."
"I'm a little scared, Alexander. Our marriage was very sudden. I think it might be better to keep it a secret for now."
"Keep it a secret?" Alexander asked in a quiet and dangerous voice. His lips were tight in a hard line, clearly showing his anger.
"Just for a while. I… I thought you would like to have a big wedding ceremony and show the world about your wife. So let's keep it a secret until it's time to have a big wedding ceremony. It will be just long enough to organize everything, a few months is enough. I have to design the perfect wedding dress. And a wedding surrounded by flowers would be beautiful."
The truth is, Diana wasn't sure how long this marriage would last, so it was best to postpone any pronouncements on the subject. After all, if a divorce happens a scandal would also happen. And a few months would be enough to develop or cripple the relationship.
"I can agree to a grand wedding ceremony. After all, it's a woman's dream to dress beautifully, dance in a flower-filled ballroom and have the world to witness your happiness, but I want to marry you publicly this winter. You have until the end of the month to design the dress, we got married on January 15th."
"But this is such a short time! This is a month from now!"
"Okay, we can count on the Dunkelheit Conglomerate's birthday ball that we got married. It will be on the weekend anyway."
"Okay. Okay." Diana sighed and got up from the soft sofa. "I go home. See you at work tomorrow."
"House? You are at home."
"This is your house. I live in my apartment, remember?"
"I'm a little confused. You are clearly my wife, right?"
"In fact, I signed the documents."
"Good. So what's mine is my wife's. And you are my wife. This is your home. I will send someone to pick up what you need from your apartment. You will live here, my dear wife."
"But… but this…"
"What? Don't you know which husband and wife should live together? Are you trying to rebel and file for divorce? Do I need to punish my dear wife for being uncompromising and a dissolute woman who only wants my body? Will you use me and throw me aside, Diana Dunkelheit? Alexander said every word with anger and disappointment in his voice. The whole face showed sadness, anger and deep disappointment."
Of course he was faking it. He knew exactly what Diana was really thinking, so sometimes it's good to push the buttons a little.
"H-hubby ..." Diana stammered, seeing that the man's face was a little less annoyed to hear her call him by that title, she continued. "Hubby, that's not what I meant." Diana quickly sat on the couch next to the man and hugged him. "I thought it would be a good idea to keep some distance until the wedding ceremony."
"Diana Dunkelheit! Would you believe me if I say I want to slap your ass for saying these ridiculous words?"
"Hubby…" Diana whispered in her soft, sweet voice. His whole face was flushed, but he looked a little pitiful. "Hubby, I'll be good. Dont be angry."
Diana felt horrible looking into the beautiful sad, disappointed, angry eyes of her super handsome husband.
Alexander was a man who didn't used to be kind and Diana knew it. He will look with eyes as cold as a glacier to everyone, but he would look at her with affection and pampering. He will not touch anyone, but he always embraces her full of love and adoration. He always shows a weak and somewhat false smile to others, but he smiles beautifully and brightly at her.
Every day, he always cared more about her health and well-being. He would worry about his diet and his sleep. He would worry if her workload was too large. He even hired an extra secretary to help her with the work.
She didn't know it before, but after several days as a director she realized she was the only one who would have two secretaries and an assistant.
He would always have a cold, distant aura, but he cares more about her and is kind only to her.
Then Diana took a deep breath and took Alexander's hand.
"Hubby, I must separate what I need personally. I'm going to my apartment and organizing everything. Not get upset. I will listen to my hubby."
"Good. Let's do this in the afternoon. I follow you."
"Hubby, you have important things to handle. I heard Assistant Kim say that you have a video conference with business partners in country F. Do your work. I'll be back before dinner."
"My Queen, I love you." Alexander whispered in Diana's ear as he hugged her slim waist.
"I love you too, My Hubby."
After lunch, Diana went quietly to her apartment.
After packing and organizing her belongings, she put her cats in the travel case and left the apartment, letting the bodyguards carry their bags, the cats, and she locked the door.
The bodyguards followed her closely to the garage into the black SUV. They drove to the southwest of the city. The mountains of the range were a little closer.
About thirty minutes later they stopped in front of a large black gate of noble, elegant, exquisite and solemn appearance. The Dunkelheit family's crest was carved beautifully into the large, robust black metal gate.
Diana never came to Dunkelheit Shine by land during the day, just left after lunch but was distracted thinking about what to pack. So she never fully saw Dunkelheit Shine during the day.
After identification the guards allowed the car into the car.
The vehicle rode on a well-maintained white cobblestone path for about ten minutes. The road was lined with cherry trees, wisterias, peaches and plums. In winter only the plum trees bloomed, but it was a very poetic and beautiful sight.
Behind the first row of trees, several others were seen and some gravel paths among the fruit trees were seen from time to time. Like a planned forest.
And it really was. Every little detail of this great property had been designed and planned by Alexander's ancestors when they bought this property over two hundred years ago.
Little by little, the dark-roofed white castle in the romantic style was seen more closely.
The castle had a towering tall tower covered by a glass dome right in the center of the castle, four tall towers, one in each direction and twelve small towers with pointed roofs covered by dark tiles.
Unlike the classic Romanesque style, the windows were not just narrow openings. They were big bulletproof panes. The whole place looked like a medieval fortress but, looking at the inner scene of the castle, no one would say it was a medieval castle. The whole place was decorated with luxury, elegance and refinement. Not to be missed for the main palaces worldwide known for their inner charm.
The Renaissance garden was beautifully decorated with evergreens and a large fountain bowl with beautiful white, red, blue, and purple lotus flowers.
If one observed more calmly, one would see the beds of Roses, Peonies, Lilies, Chrysanthemums, Camellias, Cups, and Plumerias. Unfortunately only the Camellias flourished, even when the Dunkelheit estate wore frost and snow protection in the garden. Some species could not bloom in the coming winter.
When Diana entered the castle, Butler Jones and several maids came to greet her. She handed the bag to one of the maids to take her to the room where she would be living from that day.
