Luke completely ignore as they enter his mansion but Annie did not mind as she continues to admire the interior of the house ,she have never seen a house as luxurious and beautiful as this . though she had never experienced the outer world but she has seen many mansion on magazine but nothing like this she was still admiring every inch of the house when Luke startle her by saying
"This is your room"
"what?.... I thought mama told me when two young are married they are supposed to sleep in the bed and do everything together."
Luke scoff then shot her an angry look "your mom is wrong"
Annie frown but soften when she remembers what her mama said
* two wrong cannot make a right Annie for a better marriage you need to be patient and enduring and one day your partner will finally fall for you Annie*
"I can't sleep here alone it's to beo big for me"
Luke scowled at her and leave . Annie sniff and sit on the bed , she don't sleep alone because it brings bad memories from her childhood she do sleep beside her mom . she look at her new room then shiver in fear she try suppressing the fear but it only become worse then she looked at the time it was 10:56pm she was surprised because it was two hours since he left so she managed to shower then wear her skimpy nightie which barely cover her thighs then left to Luke room to get some sleep but he was sleeping so she snuggle next to him until she felt his hard body on her back . Luke sleepily put his hand. on her waist making her more comfortable then doze off.
Luke felt something so warm and very soft . he sit up only to see Annie sleeping beside him peacefully . He was mad how could she sneak into his room with out his permission he began to wake her violently with pain wake up only to see Luke staring furiously at her
"Am sorry I couldn't sle...."
"Get out" Luke said dragging her out of the bed violently but as she stand Luke notice her skimpy nightie then glare at her
"are you trying to seduce me?
"No....no no I didn't..I mean it was not like I couldn't sleep so I decide to come here"
"you know what just get lost" he spat angrily pushing her out his room before slamming the door. Annie was scared to go back to that room so she sat on his bedroom door sobbing profusely until it turns into hiccups
Luke couldn't sleep due her cries but he he won't allow her in . After an hour Luke couldn't take it anymore he opens the door to see Annie lying on the floor sobbing but she stood up facing him with her eyes down
"Get in" . Annie entered inside still looking down . Luke completely ignoring her lie down Annie have no choice than to lie beside him
"Don't com any closer" he said
"I won't" she said quietly Luke look at her for some time before turning to the other side. Annie sigh relieved then slowly drift into sleep but Luke couldn't sleep he stood to take another sleeping pills before going to bed as he wait for the reaction of the medicine . Annie snuggled close to him with their face an inch away from each other, her thighs were also rubbing his . Luke swallowed then gently remove her hand from his arm but Annie hold tight to his arm after some irritating moment of trying to pull her away he gives up , and Annie snuggle closer until her head was on his chest leaving his lips on her hair. surprisingly Luke was able to sleep after two years of sleeplessness.
Luke wake up to find an empty bed, he lazily went into the bathroom to have a shower before going down to have breakfast.
Annie was busy with making breakfast that she didn't notice Luke , until she heard him boiling water for coffee. she blush as she remembers waking up in his arm and the slight kiss he gave her before releasing her.
Luke couldn't help noticing her flush face, when he caught her staring.
"Luke don't worry I will make your coffee" she said as she reach for the tea cup but he stop her throwing daggers at her
"No thanks am okay go on with your business and don't meddle on mine" he said dropping her hand as if it was trash. Annie look at him hurt she was silent for some minutes,. trying to suppress the emotion his word brought
"I was trying to help you...you are ungrateful"
she said looking at him tearfully "and you know what make yourself breakfast" she said angrily, blinking repeatedly while Luke watch her smirking
"I don't eat food soiled with those dirty fingers of yours enjoy it all yours" he said drinking his coffee obviously enjoying the state of his wife.
Annie stare at him before she slowly turn away but pause when he said
" Anytime you are so desperate of a man's touch find yourself a partner cos your body disgust me. and it okay to sleep with another person because this marriage is nothing to me but a way to take my revenge" he said chuckling before adding " hope you survive because it is going to be a dangerous revenge" he said chuckling but this time bitterly
"my mama said marriage is about faithfulness love, trust and unity. I won't commit such thing. she said
"your mama said wrong. your parents were responsible for their death and I think they should teach each other about faithfulness first before teaching others"
"Don't talk about my mama like that"
Luke chuckle seeing her childish behavior before leaving.
Annie was alone again she was afraid so she decide to make herself busy with house chores but it was not helping so she decide to go to the garden. As large and beautiful the house is it's boring. After a long minutes of staying in the garden talking and joking with herself Annie decide to enter inside only to find Luke having lunch.
She greeted him but he ignore her, she was very hurt but she compose herself.
