After bathing Luke dressed up and went to sleep he is hungry but he was not sure if Annie kept the food but a delicious aroma hit him as he turns to switch off the lights he was glad she put the food on the table . he gladly eat it after that he took the plate to the sink for wash, after that he head to the bed room for a good night sleep but he couldn't sleep so he gently drag Annie close to him until he felt her head on his hard chest ,he sigh and put his hand on her waist . she was his medicine for past two years he couldn't sleep due to insomnia but anytime she is this close he could sleep without difficulty. He thought and sigh as he put his jaw on her soft silky hair, inhaling her fragrance her slept off only to wake up in the money without her . he went down to see her setting breakfast on the dining she was so engrossed that she barely notice him until he accidentally break a China plate causing a shattering sound in the kitchen that brought her attention. She entered the kitchen and glare at him as if he was a child
"Did you just break a plate" she ask standing akimbo and pointing her finger at him
"Does it matter? Luke said as he bent to pick the broken place
"yes? it is my favorite plate" she said as she also bend to pick the pieces of the broken plate but accidentally Luke wrap his hand around hers when he realized what he did he look at their hands before looking at Annie who was also looking at their hands . He snatch his hand away , accidentally bruising himself. Annie stared at his face before diverting her gaze to his bruise
"Let me help" she said trying to hold his hand but he pushed her away causing the little sharp pieces of the broken plate to hurt which cause blood to rush out profusely . when he realized he hurt her he quickly rush to get the first aid but when he returns she has fainted he began to panic he called his best friend
"Hello Paul don't ask questions come immediately"
Luke took her to their room and lay her on the bed before rushing to get some water after getting the water he administer it on her before Paul arrived
"who is she and what's wrong with her"
"she bruise herself"
Paul rolled his eyes and look at his friend
"who is she? Paul asked again as he began to give her some medication but Luke ignore him as his gaze is on Annie
"is she your new mistress? wow she's so beautiful" he said but chuckle when Luke cast him a startle and impatient look. Paul didn't say anything
"if you keep looking at my wife like that I am going to pluck your eyes" Luke said glaring at his friend
"wife dude you never told me you are getting married"
Luke look at his best friend and nod his head
"I guess there's nothing exciting about getting married again" He said bitterly which draw Paul attention
" I know it's hard to forget about the past but dude it been two years now. so why don't you forget about everything and move on with this pretty woman by your side huh?
"pretty? you find her pretty? her dad killed my family" Luke said fixing Annie a hateful look
" A moment ago you were acting as a jealous husband now you are staring daggers at your wife even at her unconscious state . C'mon dude what has she done that is unforgettable" Paul said confused
" Her dad murdered my family because of money could you believe that?
"You just said her dad not her ,. I mean she don't deserve the way you treat her even though her parents are murderers" Paul said glaring at his best friend. He knew that his friend is being sentimental but he had experience in what is going on his father has accuse his mother of bankruptcy meanwhile he was the one squandering his money on women it affected his mother so much she became insane and died of depression.
"Give her enough food and her medicine" Paul said ignoring his friend as he left the house.
Luke followed him as he want to see his friend off.
Annie woke up with a piercing pain in her toe she look around to find her husband but couldn't find him so she ran downstairs only to find him in the kitchen making lunch
"Good afternoon sir" Annie greet from behind startling Luke
"What are you doing down here ? aren't you supposed to be resting" He asked half yelling at her. Annie shrugged and grab a spoon and plate and set it on the table then sit down as she put her napkin but flinch a little when her wound finger hit the the table.
"I want lunch "she pout at Luke who looks at her childish behavior and shake his head but put the food for her on the plate then serve himself as he eat he noticed that Annie is struggling to eat but her finger won't allow her after slowly watching her for a minute he stood up and take a chair next to her then began to feed her. Annie look at him and blinked her eyes are beginning to water due to the fact that she's not wearing her glasses after eating Annie decide to pack the dishes but Luke stop her she frown and look at him putting her hands on her waist
"Am not a baby, mom said I will be twenty- two on next year"
*says someone who is stuck in her ten years self* Luke thought before saying " I will do the dishes and besides you and I will be attending a business dinner next tomorrow so I want you to get well soon."
Annie stared at him blinking repeatedly before raising her hands in a surrender as Luke pack the plate . As she tries to move she found her toe was bleeding, she moan in pains as her she force herself to walk again . Luke having heard her moans and sharp cry came out to see Annie blowing and hand fanning her toe .He notice it was bleeding so he carried her in a bridal style to their room then gently lay her down before getting the first aid kit.
After he is done cleaning her wound he went and took a shower before going to bed
