It was morning adria woke up to see the bed empty wondering where Lee was she quickly made her way out of the room just to see him coming back all sweaty
"Good morning baby." he said lovingly as he walked towards her not breaking off there eyes contact.
"Where did you go?."
"Went to the gym sweetie, I see you where worried about me huh." he smiled lovingly as he stood in front of her.
Adria changed her expression and looked away before replying "No no I was just worried you've ran away and I'll have to pay all the bills so I was running off too."
Lee chuckled and kisses her chick "Hmm pay bills when you know I own the place? what a convincing story." he pulled her close and they both went inside. Lee went to take his bath arriving at the bathroom he took of his clothes and walked past the mirror but came back to look at himself, he stared longer than usual and the thought of the girl in the glass began to cloud his thinking as he felt haunted, he heard voices from his head that sounded like that of the girl's "You finally gave up, you failed me Lee, you are the cause of everything the cause of I and your father's death you are selfish and an excuse of a human." Lee felt enraged and immediately hit the mirror which shattered with the impact of his hand and blood dripped from his hands. Adria who was seated on the bed immediately jerked and looked towards the bathroom door.
Lately Lee has been going through guilt and was a bit traumatized, he had also been registered to a counseling section and Adria has tried to be supportive, she immediately dashed to the door and knock "Lee! Lee is everything ok?." she banged on the door as she tried the handle and it was open she immediately stormed in "Lee." she said as her eyes scanned the environment seeing the shattered mirror she went to his side immediately she held his bleeding hand and spoke softly to him "It's ok Lee everything is over now, you are ok it wasn't your fault and it will never be." she ran her fingers across his face as they stared at each other, she kept saying those words till Lee hugged her, she stayed there for a while till she felt he was better she turned to leave but he whispered "Stay please."
Adria stayed with him as he took his shower, they ended up bathing together and when they were done they dressed up and stayed home together, today was Saturday and they had no place they would rather be than in each others arms, "How's the new watch collection going?." Lee asked as he pat her head gently.
"Hmm it hasn't been finalized yet but I'll let you know before it even starts."
"I'm so proud of you." Lee said as he kissed her, Adria rolled her eyes "Your the one taking care of everything and still shower me with praises."
"Well you did the hard work yourself, I only had to get you investors, the company is yours, the designs are yours, your also the one who persuaded the investors and shareholders so why wouldn't I shower you with praises when you achieved all this by yourself."
Adria smiled as she was shy by all the praises he showered her with.
"Adria." Lee spoke after a long silence.
"Hmm." Adria said as she shifted her head which was on his chest to look at him
"I love you." he said like a child who was pouring out their heart to their parent.
"Well I don't love you."
"It's ok you don't necessarily have to, I could love both of us."
Adria stared deep into his eyes as she locked her lips with his and when they broke off she whispered "I love you too Lee."
"Let's get married." Lee said with excitement
"What?." adria eyes widened as his declaration was unexpected.
"Please Adria marry me."
Adria stared at him as she looked at how serious he was "Lee don't you think it's too sudden we aren't even done with your therapy, we haven't even told my family about our relationship and you are talking about marriage?."
"Adria forget about the therapy am already fine."
"you need to get cured look what happened this morning."
"I'm already cured and you are my cure and about your family we can always talk to them we could video call them right now if you want."
"No you need to give me time to inform them Lee."
"Adria!." he said impatiently as his eyes pleased with her.
"fine I'll talk to them today and then you could talk to them tomorrow."
A week later
Lee and adria's family got more familiar as the day went by, though adria's dad had disapproved the marriage her mom had only complained about the distance but it didn't stop her from supporting them in the choice they have made, they conversed on video call to one another like he had suggested earlier, he became close like a brother and a son to berlina and adria's mom and even if her dad disapproved he still had to accept.
.
They stayed in the hotel for weeks but finally moved into a new house together, they visited Lee's grandma from time to time they informed her about there plans to get married and she was very pleased, after few weeks with there grandma lee and Adria traveled to Nigeria to fulfill traditional demands, they got married there and flew back to Tokyo there they hosted another wedding which was a big hit as Lee was well known in the country after the wedding the next day was filled with papers trying to fix the dots of how they got acquainted with one another most paper said they were business partners before she got invited to his birthday party, another said there first meet must be at the birthday party and then she became his assistant and they began seeing each other, another said Adria had been Lee's mistress even when he was with the now infamous lisa. Most papers criticized Lee for marring a foreigner and called Adria an opportunist but Lee and Adria were unbothered by the news or commercials about them, Lee and Adria traveled to Korea for there honeymoon and also launched a Prada collection together as the newest couple. They spent time together, it was an amazing experience as they shared time alone in each others arms far from the eyes of the press and the other world, they often called his grandma to ensure she was ok, they stayed in Korea for two months and on the third month they came back to Japan and went to stay with Lee's grandma, they stayed there for some days as Adria loved to stay at the seaside.
..
Adria stood outside as she watched the waters flows in and out of the shores, the place felt peaceful and she loved the sea side. Lee came to her and hugged her from behind as he kissed her shoulder and rested his chin on her neck, Adria smiled as she stared straight at the water and after few silence she said softly "Is this what marriage feels like?."
"How does it feel?." Lee smiled as he stared at her as she stared at the sea, he couldn't believe they ended up together after all they went through all the back and forth events, it has been a long trail to get to where they were and he regrets nothing now as everything happened for them to be together and no matter the bad times it was all in there favour.
"Well it's everything I have expected." saying this she turned to him and kissed him softly before turning back to the sea.
"I will hold onto that then." he said "I will also hold on to you, I'll be a sucker for you, I'll hold you down be your friend and your lover, your guide and anything you need." he kissed her hair lovingly.
Adria smiled as it has become a habit for Lee to always recite his vows or make promises, she turned around and kissed him as they sat on the sand and watched the waters.
Lee's grandma looked at them from her window and felt nothing but happiness as she said to herself "Now I can die peacefully knowing you ended this life as peaceful as well my love." she referred to Lee as she sees him as the recantation of her late husband.
After some weeks with grandma they went back to Tokyo and began there daily routine back both of them resuming there jobs, Adria was mostly very busy as she was about to launch a watch collection and she wanted it to go very well.
Lately she and Lee never had time to be together whenever she got home it was already late and Lee must have slept on the couch while waiting for her, today wasn't any different she walked into the house to see the television on as Lee dosed off on the couch she stared at him lovingly as she really felt like they had gotten a lot distance this past few weeks and it was affecting him more, turning off the television she went to lee and tapped him gently "Lee." she called out and Lee moved a bit but he didn't wake up she applied a little force and he hummed as he opened his eyes a little to peep seeing Adria he widened his eyes "Your back."
"Hmm." she smiled lovingly, her amazing husband the only man she has felt this way for, she wouldn't lie she was privileged to be with such an awesome, good looking and caring husband.
"How was work."
"Well.....guess?."
"You have finalized the launching date?."
"No-yes ugh your no fun." she had expected him not to get it but he was a smart man after all.
"We should celebrate then." he said as he yawned while stretching.
"Yes- have you had anything?."
"No."
"Umm I'll prepare a quick meal ok."
"bring a wine along babe." he said as he rubbed his eyes gently and stood up.
.
Adria went to the kitchen and began to prepare a meal Lee joined her and they finish cooking and served themselves, they had rice with tomato sauce that night as well as the wine, when they were done they were both tired and laid on the floor as they stared at each other, Lee smiled at her "You look funny Mrs Lee."
Adria spout as she was really tipsy and she pointed to lee but the funny thing was she pointed to the wrong direction as she said "Y-you never call me that."
"Hm do you like it?." he asked as he put some strands of her hair behind her ear and she nodded, he lend forward and they shared a kiss, he had really missed this closeness, this affection that was pure and mutual he pulled her up quickly as they depend the kiss, feeling thrilled by the ecstasy he felt, he carried her up and made his way upstairs to their room.
.
The next morning
Adria woke up with a bad headache she looked around to see she was in the bedroom feeling stressed she held onto her head as she looked around for Lee who wasn't in the room, she stared at the floor to find there clothes tossed around, trying hard to remember what happened last night she recalled studying Lee's tattoo and trailing the scar as she asked "does it still hurt."
Lee chuckled as he said "no."
"Then why don't you let me touch it "
"It awakens sad memories my love that's why I don't let anyone touch it."
"So you won't let me touch it."
"Well you are already touching it now."
"So why do you let me touch it lee." she said as she stared at him straight in the eye, "Isn't it clear already?." Lee said as he grabbed her and kissed her affectionately he placed her on the bed and hovered above her taking in her beauty as he said "Cause I love you, am obsessed with all you do and everything you do gives me pleasure." with that they kissed each other again as they helped each other take off there clothes and made love. Adria bit her lips as she smiled shyly as last night was really hot "Shit!." she immediately realized she had skipped her pills last night running to the bathroom she took the pills and took her shower when she stepped out the room she saw Lee seating waiting for her immediately he saw her he stood up and approached her he kissed her forehead and greeted her while directing her to the dinning as he had prepared breakfast.
