Getting Leo drunk was harder than I thought he had are high tolerance for alcohol but wasn't giving up cause if I did that means I would have to perform my wifely duties and have a wedding night with that bastard which would never get me to do.
First of all, it's betrayal, secondly, it would hurt me and Xavier's unborn child, and if they don't sleep with him there will know that the baby is not for Leo but rather for another and they would kill it. So the wise thing to do was stage a wedding night with Leo and getting him drunk was the only way to archive that.
Besides it was a short while cause Xavier had promised me That he would work hard to make a name for himself, soon after he does, he will look for me and we can flee together, all I had to do is hang in there just a while longer.
I continued to get Leo drunk he took shot after shot until he could barely stand up, everything was perfect as I had planned, I call the guards who help take me to the carriage and we ride back to the hotel helping me still they take him to the room and set him on the bed I take off his clothes and take off mine entered bed with him
The next morning he wakes up with no relocation of what happened as had planned it
" What happened yesterday and why does my head hurt ?"
"You drunk a lot yesterday and we had sex don't you remember." ; I say satisfied that my plan worked now no one will doubt my baby and I keep it for Xavier and myself and one will doubt it
"Hopefully you get pregnant my love, I need an heir to be considered the next duke of Alexandria, oh baby it would so thrilling to have one to call my own," he says kissing me
"Yes, my love," I replied but I wanted to hurl I was so disgusted by his kiss but I had no choice but to pretend I like it so as protect my unborn child now that he thought were intimate he is going to demand sex I will be obligated to or risk being discovered
Now that you are comfortable with each other we should lay down with me we pick off where we left off he said trudging closer my heart was beating so fast Was afraid that it would fall out of my chest didn't want to lay with him, laying with him meant that betrayed my true love Xavier I couldn't love another or late alone have sex with him intimacy was something special to be a sacred bond between a couple binding them for life
So I couldn't sleep with Leo no matter what I only belonged to Xavier, am sorry Leo I can't I am not feeling well Hanna lied after that Leo didn't question her again and they fell to sleep
The next morning Hana woke up to a sound of a bell to any empty bed her ladies in waiting immediately drew the curtains while others slipped on her robe
Good morning my lady, your bath awaits ." Priscilla Hana's handmaid said snapping her fingers a skilled team of maids in charge of bath time and grooming walked in
"This too much," Hanna said feeling uneasy with amounts of maids that were attending to her
"No sense my lady you are the Duchess now, the pride and joy of Alexandria, it's my job to ensure your beauty dazzles and shines for his majesty," Priscilla replied bowing
"What if I don't wish to dazzle his Majesty?" Hana questioned
"My Duchess you are just nervous for your first time with man, but am sure the duke will be gentle it will be a passionate night filled with desire, my lady."
Unknown to these clueless maids, I didn't plan to lay with their Duke, how could I lay with someone I didn't love. I was sure my body would reject him, just his presence disgusted me, top it all off his vile attitude. My body only melted under one man's touch Xavier, I was pregnant with our baby can't afford to be careless and lose it by sleeping with the enemy I had to find our way out of this and fast, I thought to myself
"My lady do you like the way you look ?"Priscilla question brings back to reality
Studying my reflection in the mirror could tell the maids had gone out to make a sure look more beautiful than lam my ruby hair was held in an elegant updo secured by golden hairpins in the shape of leaves and small hearts my makeup was perfectly done with not a thing out of place my body was adorned in a royal blue and gold dress The scent of fresh perfume graced my body, to be honest with you l did look beautiful "yes love." it I say truthfully though I hated admitting it
His Highness will have a hard time taking his eyes off you Priscilla said excitedly, she was pleased with her work
And she was right the duke wouldn't be able to resist the temptation giving how beautiful I looked, how was I going to turn him down today, I had been dodging intimate encounters for the last two weeks how would I dodge him today, he said I should be ready to sleep with him tonight no matter what. But didn't want to the question of how I would escape the cruel fate that waited on me
