On a remote island, Roderick's private jet landed and Elena and him got down. There, they were met with two rows of people. A few bodyguards and a few maids from two rows to greet their master and his wife. Elena looked at this spectacle with surprise. Even in this remote island, Roderick had people to cater for his every need. She finally realized the difference between the rich and poor.
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but feel the pressure of being a rich man's wife.
They got into one of the many cars there and drove away to a villa. This villa was near the beach and it seemed that they were the only ones in the entire area. They went in, the servants and bodygaurds bringing in their luggage. Elena felt awkward and wanted to do it herself but Roderick didn't allow her.
Instead, he pulled her inside and made her go to bed. Due to jetlag and tiredness, she didn't resist too much and slept peacefully for two hour. She was woken up by Roderick in a soft voice.
"Elena, wake up. The food is ready. You need to eat and shower before going to bed again."
"Mmm..." Elena moaned in annoyment that the attempt to wake her up.
"Come on Elena, the food will get cold. You don't want to fall sick during your own honeymoon, right?"
"Mm...my whole dody hurts. if you want me to get up, you have to carry me."
Roderick was stunned for a moment before smiling speechlessly at her coquettish and childish tone. But in the end, he did carry her. He even took her to the bathroom to wash her face before going over to the dining room, carrying her in his arms like she was a toddler.
All the servants were dumbfounded. It seemed like the master actually treated the lady well. And everyone had their own opinions on the matter. For this reason, whispers started to bounce of the walls and into the ears of others.
Some commented:
"Is this woman truly worthy of the master? In order to gain success, the master had worked so hard. Now he is married to this trophy wife, only goodlooking but not good at anything else. How do we know she's not another gold digger, here to sway the master only to leave him hurt. Humph...I wouldn't trust this woman at all."
Others said:
"Actually, being goodlooking is also a gift. And there is nothing wrong with being a trophy wife really. If she really can't do anything,she can still learn and develop. She also doesn't at all look like a gold digger and doesn't seem very materialistic. In love, being worthy or unworthy is judged by the couple themselves and no one else's opinion matters. As long as the master continues to smile like he did today, I think this madam will always be worthy of the master."
Everyone had their own personal opinions but the general idea was the happiness of the master, afterall they had also seen their master at his lowest. Now after all this time had passed, they just wanted him to be happy again.
Meanwhile, Elena and Roderick were oblivious to the whispers going around about them. Roderick seated Elena on a chair in the dining room. He then sat right next to her, staring at her with a smile in his grey eyes.
"This...you are going to eat with me, right? There is so much food. I can't eat it all on my own." Elena pouted and said.
Roderick just smiled silently and started dishing out food for her. He placed everything in front of her and patted her head. He got up, intending to leave her to eat when Elena grabbed his sleeve.
"Hubby, you can't do this to me." She blinked her beautiful doe eyes, tugging at his sleeve and saying with a crying tone in her voice.
Roderick was astounded. She called him hubby. Hubby!
"You...do you know who I am? Look at my face, who am I?" Roderick spoke, lifting her head to look eye to with her.
"Ohh...you are my husband, Roderick Whitlock", she bubbled with a pout.
At this moment, every cell in Roderick's body screamed at him to just kiss her. She stuck out a pink little tongue to lick her lips and this enticed him even more.
He didn't know about anything else but at this moment, all he knew was that he wanted her, he wanted to taste the bliss that was her lips once again.
And this time he didn't hesitate for long before descending on her like an animal in heat, kissing her deep and hard.
His tongue went on the attack, ravaging her mouth and stealing her breath away.
Elena was surprised by the sudden kiss but before long, she also started reacting, kissing him back and clutching at his clothes as if holding on for dear life.
Feeling the heat in his body rise, Roderick moved down, kissing, licking and sucking at her neck. Elena also tugged at Roderick's clothes.
Feeling Elena trying to remove his shirt, Roderick pulled away, breathless and with heavy hooded eyes. Seeing her lips that had become so swollen because of him, the desire in his eyes intensifted.
"I guess I am hungry after all", said Roderick, looking at Elena as if he could devour her at any moment.
Elena blushed, only looking down with a shy look without saying. She started eating thereafter, no longer talking to Roderick.
Roderick didn't say anything either but just chuckled at her shyness. Even though he wasn't satisfied, her flushed face made him content.
As he thought about it, he felt this honeymoon was a great decision because they became much closer right now. Her sudden cute behaviour stunned Roderick but he loved it and didn't want to question it for now.
He was lost in his thoughts when Elena waved a hand infront of him. On her finger, a ring with a round pink diamond seemed to stand out domineeringly. It was the ring Cameron had given her when he proposed. Why was she wearing it when she already married to him?
For a moment, Roderick gazed silently at this ring. She had kissed him but her heart was somewhere else. Roderick thought it was ridiculous but this whole marriage was ridiculous since the beginning. He knew he shouldn't expect anything yet he couldn't stop the unease that surged in his heart.
In the end, he shifted his gaze, his demeanor returning to a coldness that kept people at a distance.
"You eat. I have something I need to do. I won't be eating with you."
After speaking, he got up, intending to leave when Elena grabbed his hand.
"Can I have some alcohol?" Elena asked in a small voice.
"Mm", after hesitanting for a moment, he said without portraying any emotions. Thereafter, he left, a sneer on his lips as he walked away.
