Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

As he glanced at her from the corner of his eye, he saw a flicker of hesitation in her eyes. It was clear that she was torn between accepting his offer for safety or taking her chances elsewhere.

The weight of the decision hung in the air, Elena was surprised and confused why he wanted her to be his wife when he can find someone better than her, so she asked hesitantly " But why me? I mean...you can find someone more perfect since you are so rich and handsome, any beautiful and rich woman would accept to be your wife." Elliot knew that any woman would die to be his wife but he wanted her so he said cunningly not to make it obvious " Because I think you will make a perfect wife, now no more arguments, I'm very late and I must get home so tell me is it a yes?" Elliot's words hung in the air, leaving her momentarily speechless.

She couldn't deny that he could keep her safe from that old man and her family and a the moment she had no other options so he gather her courage and said With a deep breath, she mustered up the strength to respond. "I understand the advantages of being with you, Sir Elliot," she began cautiously. "Since I have no other options, I will accept your proposal" Elliot gave a small grin because that's what he wanted to hear from her mouth, so he replied " That's great. So now I will take you to my home." As they made their way to Elliot's home, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He had finally convinced her to be with him, despite her initial hesitation. The journey to his home was filled with silence, and within few more minutes Elliot pulled the brake in front his grand villa. the gate was opened by 2 body guards and he drove his Lamborghini through the large gate. Elena looked around through the car glass Elena was in awe as she took in the sight of Elliot's grand villa.

The sprawling estate exuded luxury and elegance, with its perfectly manicured gardens and imposing architecture. As they stepped out of the car, Elliot held out his key of the Lamborghini to one of the guards to park it in the garage. Elena quietly stood there waiting for Elliot to lead her inside the magnificent villa. She couldn't help but feel nervous as she anticipated what awaited her in her life with this unknown man.

A guard greeted and opened the front door, revealing a grand foyer adorned with exquisite artwork and a sweeping staircase that seemed to lead to endless possibilities. As they walked in an old woman and few other women who were wearing a maid's uniform came and greeted Elliot in union and then Elliot without greeting back said " Listen, meet my future bride and the future mistress of this villa, Elena, so get our dinner ready and also prepare the room next to mine for the lady, be quick" Elena's heart skipped a beat as she listened to Elliot's words.

The maids looked at Elena with surprise but quickly composed themselves and hurried away to finish their tasks. Elliot then told Elena to follow him which Elena did, Elliot was going upstairs. Elena's mind was racing as she followed Elliot up the stairs. She couldn't believe what she had just heard - being introduced as his future bride and the mistress of the villa.

The weight of the responsibility and expectations suddenly felt overwhelming. As they reached the top of the staircase, Elliot went to the right and opened a big door revealing a king sized bed Elena's heart skipped a beat as she stepped into the opulent bedroom. Elliot sat on the bed and left a tired sign as Elena stood near the door so Elliot said looking at her " Dont be shy come in, this is my bedroom and until your bedroom is ready, use my bathroom to freshen up." and he pointed at the bathroom with his index finger and then continued "Seems like you need to change your dress, its quite messy, I will call the maids to bring some spare cloth of my sister which she left tomorrow I will buy new clothes for you."

Elena just nodded her head feeling uncomfortable with a man in a room alone. Elliot then stared at her for a few seconds then stood up to get his night suit from the large closet, while he was taking his clothes out he said like as if he was annoyed " Do you plan to stay there like a statue for the whole night? why don't you sit on the sofa, its quite soft. Elena hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond to Elliot's comment.

She couldn't help but feel a sense of unease in his presence, making it difficult for her to relax. However, not wanting to appear rude or standoffish, she reluctantly made her way towards the sofa he had pointed out.

As she sat down, she saw Elliot heading to the bathroom next to his large closet

Elliot turned on the cold shower to relieve all the tiredness of the day, his hard muscles relaxed under the cold shower

As the icy water cascaded down his body, Elliot felt a wave of rejuvenation wash over him. The cold shower seemed to awaken his senses, invigorating him after a long and exhausting day. Each droplet that hit his skin brought a refreshing chill, melting away the fatigue that had settled deep within his muscles. The coolness enveloped him, providing a much-needed respite from the scorching heat of the day.

With every breath, he could feel his mind clearing, the weight of stress and weariness slowly dissipating. The cold shower became a sanctuary, a place where he could find solace and renewal. As the water continued to pour, Elliot's mind went back to the beauty of Elena, those plump pink lips, those doe like eyes and her bust He couldn't help but his lower part got hardened just by thinking about her, but then he thought he just had to spend this night without her, he smiled at his how would she feel under him, screaming his name. He then turned off the shower and dried himself with towel As Elliot finished drying himself off, he couldn't help but feel a pang of longing for Elena.

He knew that tonight would be a test of his self-control, as he had made the decision to spend the night without her. He put on his night suit and went out from the bathroom to find Elena reading one of the magazine that was lying on the small table , when she saw him staring at her she left the magazine on the table and said at a low voice "sorry, I didn't mean to touch your stuffs, I was just bored." Elliot thought to himself she was too polite and humble, he chuckled and said while drying his hair with the towel " Everything here belongs to you since your my future bride." Elena didn't say anything in return, then she heard a knock on the door and Elliot replied " Come in" the door slowly opened revealing a young maid and she bowed to Elliot and said " Master, the dinner is ready as well as the room for the lady." Elliot nodded and said " Bring a spare dress from my sister's room for the lady." The maid nodded and bowed before she scurried off to fetch the dress, Elena mumbled " Thanks" loud enough for Elliot to hear, so he replied " It is nothing Elena, since you got here you have become my responsibility, I must look after your needs so do you." Elena looked up after hearing the last part of his sentence a bit confused what he meant so to clear it up she asked " What kind of needs sir?" Elliot grinned finding her question amusing so he said " You know a need that only wife can satisfy." Elena widened her eyes in shock realizing what he meant, she felt a bit uneasy since she was a virgin but she didn't continue the conversation since the maid was back with the dress it she handed it to Elena and bowed before she left the room before Elena could even say thanks.

She opened the dress, it was a long pale green knee length dress Elena examined the dress closely, admiring its delicate fabric and intricate design. The pale green color reminded her of a serene meadow, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement as she imagined herself wearing it. However, the mention of sleeping with Elliot after marriage still lingered in her mind, causing a mix of emotions to swirl within her. She wondered if Elliot's comment was merely a playful remark or if he had really meant it. Regardless, she knew he was not joking, after all he was a man. Elliot told her to come downstairs after taking a shower then left the room. Elena went to the bathroom and took a quick shower, Elena finished her shower and wrapped herself in a fluffy towel and putting on the dress headed downstairs.

As she descended the staircase, she saw a maid was standing near the end of the stair when she went down, the maid said politely " Miss, the master told me to escort you to the dining hall since you are new here you may get lost, please this way. Elena nodded at the maid as she followed the maid towards the dining hall. The grandeur of the mansion was overwhelming, and she couldn't help but marvel at the intricate details of the architecture.

As they walked through the hallways, Elena couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched, but she brushed it off as mere paranoia. Finally they reached a the dining hall where she saw Elliot was sitting with an iPad on his hand seemed like he was working Elena took a seat across from Elliot, Elliot gave his ipad to his butler when he saw Elena coming in.
