He moved slowly to her as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt and took off his cufflinks. He slowly placed them on the table behind Alexa. His hands gently touched her side as he leaned closer to keep them there.
His face was right on top of her, she could feel his breath on her face and the smell of sweet wine from his breath as he said looking right into her eyes as if he was seeing her soul.
She shivered as cold chills ran down her spine as Bryan stared at her and asked again.
"When should we go for our honeymoon, and why do you not plan it Alexa?, the way you like it my dear," Bryan said as he touched her chin.
He noticed she was shaking, he told her to calm down that he does not bite.
She tried to come out from the corner but he was too close to her.
"Sir I am not comfortable here and I wish not to plan anything that has to do with the honeymoon. Besides your grand mom said she will handle everything, so let us just leave it at that," Alexa said.
She struggled a little while longer and then he removed a pin hanging on her hair as she struggled and then he leaned closer to her as if he was going to kiss her but then he just placed the pin on the table close to his cufflinks and whispered to her.
"You looked very pretty tonight Alexa," Bryan turned away from her as soon as they heard Beatrice knocking at the door.
"Sir, madam, your tea is here," Beatrice said.
"Thank you Beatrice," Bryan and Alexa said.
"Would you Want anything else sir?" Beatrice asked Bryan.
"No Beatrice you can go to bed, have a goodnight," Bryan said.
"Goodnight sir, ma'am excuse me," Beatrice said.
"Go ahead Beatrice, thank you," Alexa said.
"Is this how kind you are to Everyone?" Bryan asked.
"Why do you say so sir?" Alexa asked.
"Nothing at all, it is just nice that is all," Bryan said.
"I am sorry sir if it bothers you," Alexa said to Bryan.
"Just see it as a compliment young Lady," he winked at her and went to his closet to change into his Pajamas.
She was shocked when he winked at her, she took a deep breath and turned back to the mirror and then she looked at herself and smiled because Bryan complimented her twice.
She cleaned off her make up and had a quick hot shower and then took her tea and joined Bryan on the bed with two pillows separating them apart from each other as usual as they said goodnight and off their bed lamps and slept for the night.

At Alexa's dad house, Mr Martin came from work and as usual he's wife and their son was at home waiting for him to have dinner together.
"Welcome Darling," his new wife said.
"Jake your dad is home. Come let us have dinner honey," she yells at her son.
They sat at the table and starting eating dinner.
"So how was work Honey?" she said.
"Stressful as hell, just hope those clients owing us pay in time," Mr Martin said.
"Look here dad. You work too much, even in the weekends when you are supposed to be at home resting or having family time with us, you still go out to work. You do not take us out anymore. Is it that you prefer your work over thus family now?" Jake asked rudely.
"There will be time for outing my son just calm down and do not speak to your father like that," his mom said to him.
"Besides son, If I do not work hard, how can I pay for that expensively school your mom decided to put you in," Mr Martin said.
"So what are you guys saying? Am I going to that prestigious school?" Jake asked.
"Yes you are my boy, your dad and I have agreed and all necessary transfer has been made." His mom said.
"Me or just you agreed," Martin said quietly to himself as he eats his dinner.
"What are you saying my love? you agreed that Jake should go to that school because you realised it will be good for your company in the future. When he takes over from you one day, he will do very well and make us proud," Jake's mom said to Martin.
"He could have done well as well if he remained in his old school, there was nothing wrong at all with their teachings. You just want him to go to that fancy school because of all those fancy ladies you now hang around with." Martin said angrily.
"Stop it right now Martin, we should be celebrating. I even had our favourite Chamdor wine opened so we could have a good time but you want to ruin it with all your complains," his new wife yelled right back at him.
"Yeah Dad, please let us just be happy and in this new school I am going to, I am going to make great and cool rich kids as Friends and maybe one day in the future I can tell them to have their Rich parents partner with you in your company," Jake said to Everyone.
"Easy there my boy, just go and do well in your studies that is all your mom and I truly want. Just leave the business for me to handle, OK?" Martin said.
"Fine dad, I will do my best." Jake said.
"Well the boy is right too. It would not be a bad idea to have those rich kid's parents join us in the future you know," she said winking at Martin while sipping her wine. While Jake smiled at her nodding in agreement.
"Do not encourage boy dear, please he is too young to start having that kind if mentality. So do not mention it anymore OK?" Martin warned.
"Fine. Cheers everyone." they took up their glasses and hit them against each other closely, sipped and continued dinner.
