Arthur told me he was gonna be with Victor... what does that means ? Why would he be with his brother on his wedding night instead of being with his wife ?
Didn't we decided to know eachothers right from tonight ? Then why... maybe he forgot something in his room... perhaps a condom ?
I blushed hard at the thought.
Me and him together, in the same room, on the same bed, under same quilt... doing nasty things !
Oh my god ! I can feel my cheeks heating up at the unholy thoughts.
But... I did told him that I can never be a mother and he told me he can't be a father either, then why do we need condoms for ?
Yeah, I am so stupid ! Didn't I learnt about STDs ? Maybe he wants us to make sure we are clean and then stop using protection !
But... I clearly heard him say good night to me ! If he was to return, he wouldn't have wished me good night from the door itself.
He didn't even kissed me good night. We even did that on calls and face time and he forgot when we are together ?
Is it like... he doesn't wants to take the next step just yet ? I mean, I can't blame him. We still are strangers.
Maybe he wants us to be comfortable first with eachothers and then take the further step. Maybe he thinks I am not ready yet for him !
But he could at least have told me this properly. Explaining me what is he actually feeling ?
Don't I deserve a fucking explanation for what he did ? Maybe he thought he will make me uncomfortable !
Ugh ! God I am going insane here !
Let it be, maybe he really won't return to me. Let's sleep now, I am tired as hell. I took off the lingerie I put on for him, unwillingly; and wore comfortable clothes and layed on the bed.
I am so tired I could fall asleep the moment I layed on bed on any other day. But today is different.
I am so tired and sleepy, yet sleep is the last thing in my eyes. I couldn't stop the stupid thoughts running marathon in my mind.
Don't he like me ? Is he regretting getting married to me ? Do he like someone else ? Why didn't he even bothered to explain me why he did what he did ? Have I done something wrong ?
A chill ran down my spine when the next thought crossed my mind...
Did he somehow got to know that I had worked as a whore ? And was between numerous men degrading me as if, I was nothing but a thing ?
God ! What if he...
NO !
There's no way possible for him to find it out ! Nobody knows about what happened there except for Ace and he definitely can't know about Arthur !
I shook the horrible thoughts and tried to sleep... but failed miserably. I was tossing and turning all night all over the king sized bed.
The size of the bed was reminding me again and again that, I am all alone on the huge as fuck bed !
I finally looked at the time for the nth time and relief spread all over me. It was 6 am !
Though it is still early to get up but it's way better than getting up and roaming in the house at fucking 3 in the morning !
I got out of the bed and after taking a long and relaxing shower I got ready and went to kitchen to prepare coffee for myself. After the others wake up, I will prepare some sandwiches for them.
I don't know what these people like but sandwiches are something everyone haves them even if, they aren't a big fan of them !
When I got out of the room it was already 7:30 and I am guessing they might have woke up.
I went to kitchen and thankfully found the coffee in the cabinet without having to carry out a full proof serach operation !
I had my coffee and was collecting ingredients for sandwiches.
I was so indulged in the search operation, as it was a hard one that; I didn't realized someone was standing behind me.
" Looking for something ? "
The sudden voice scared the hell out of me.
I didn't flinched though, as it was part of my training to keep calm in the situation feeling like caught in act.
I slowly turned around to witness the face I loath !
" Um... yeah. I want to prepare sandwiches for everyone for breakfast. "
I said fake smiling.
" Oh, want to be a good daughter-in-law, huh ? Good for you. By the good morning... Josephine ! "
She called my name as if, mocking me for the ancient name I have.
" Good morning to you too, Rachel. "
I said smiling forcefully.
Why do I get bad vibes from her always ? Like she is a fake person ? She wants nothing but bad for me ? Like she is evil ?
" Let me help you ! As you don't know about the preferences of the people in the home.
My mom likes her sandwiches lightly tosted not too much. Aunty like her a bit more tosted... um a bit dark brown. I like them grilled. Victor likes them raw and Vladimir...
He likes them lightly tosted with so much of capsicum and lots of chilli powder, as he prefers hot things ! "
She said with a smirk, which I badly want to slap away.
But she is right, I don't have any idea about the preferences about the people living here.
I will eventually get to it but for now, I must listen to her; or shall I ?
But I have no other option than trusting her. What if, I am just imagining things about her and she is genuinely trying to help me ?
But don't find her reliable either !
" Why are you misleading her, Rachel ? "
I heard the voice I hate the most in the world.
" Good morning, Aurora ! "
Victor said smiling sweetly and I want to puke on his face for the fake behaviour infront of others.
" What did I do ? "
Rachel asked annoyed at him.
" Why are you lying ? You very well know, Vladimir hates capsicum and hot food !
He is intolerant to hot food. He hates hot and spicy food ! Why are you lying to her ? "
Victor said irritated at her.
What ? She is lying to me ?
But... how can I trust the fucker who is constantly trying to molest me in any way possible ?
What if, he is trying to mislead me and creat problems between me and Arthur ? He was anyways sleeping in Victor's room last night !
Victor can definitely do that ! No no, I won't trust this fucker.
" Whatever ! "
Rachel rolled her eyes and left.
I turned around and started chopping the capsicum and other veggies.
" Listen to me Aurora, I am not lying to you. I know because of my bad behavior towards you, you don't want to trust me ! But trust me, that bitch is lying to you ! "
Victor said bitterly.
" Bitch ? Why are you bad mouthing about your own cousin ? "
I said annoyed at his words.
" The fuck she is my cousin ! She and her Mother are just gold diggers and nothing else !
Whatever, that's not important right now. Please don't listen to her, Vladimir hates capsicum and spicy food she is misleading you ! "
Victor said sounding genuine.
" And why would she do that ? "
I asked confused at his consistency of convincing me.
" Haven't you noticed her behavior around your husband ? Don't you feel she is constantly trying to seduce him ?
Doesn't she bends uselessly infront of him showing either her disgusting cleavage or flat ass ?
She is doing this for ages now ! She and her Mother wanted Vladimir to marry her; but he was in love with you from the beginning and so, he didn't pay attention to her. And she is still trying to seduce him ! "
Victor said making disgusting face.
" Just the way you are doing with me ? She is at least doing that keeping her distance from him. She isn't making him creep out because of her actions ! "
I snapped back.
He sighed in defeat.
" Look, I am sorry. Whatever I did...
I have my reasons for that. And trust me, I will never bother you again. But please don't fall for her trap ! "
Victor said almost pleading me.
" Fuck off, Victor ! You really want me to trust you after you clearly stated your intentions for me ?
And you are saying that, she is trying to mislead me and creat misunderstanding between us, how can I trust you ?
He was with you last night; our fucking wedding night !
He just left without uttering any single thing to me.
Then how can I believe you haven't filled his ears against me ?
That's what you have been craving since the beginning, haven't you ? "
I whisper yelled at him, not wanting the whole house know we slept seperate on our wedding night.
" Aurora, listen to me... "
" I don't wanna ! Just fuck off ! "
I yelled and turned around not wanting to look at his face and listen to his voice.
" You are gonna regret trusting that bitch. And believe me or not but I will never want anything wrong for both of you ! "
Victor said and left.
I took deep breaths and calmed down as I didn't wanted to cook when I am angry.
I had an Indian friend when I was in China and she told me that, it's said the taste of food you cook varies according to in what mood you cooked it.
And we should never cook when we are angry !
Well, these sandwiches will taste the same no matter who cooked them but I have got used to not cook when I am angry.
I decided to trust the bitch and cooked according to her instructions. And everyone came to the dining table for breakfast; except for Arthur.
" Darling, why did you bothered preparing the breakfast ? I would have prepared it. It's your first day here you don't even know anyone's preferences and where the ingredients are ! "
Rachel's mom said smiling.
Why do I get the feeling she is taunting me and she is just like her daughter ?
" Ana, don't say that. Even if, she doesn't know anyone's preferences can't we have something different once in a while.
I completely disagree with you; except for one thing !
Baby, you should really have rested and shouldn't have bothered waking up early and do all this. I could have prepared the sandwiches, dear ! "
Mom said caressing my head lovingly.
" It's alright mom. I am used to waking up early and so, I thought I should prepare breakfast for everyone. "
I said smiling back.
" That's so thoughtful of you my child. "
Mom kissed my forehead and had her sandwiches.
Everyone praised me for tosting them exact the way they like it and I sighed in relief.
So, that bitch wasn't lying to me but that bastard was !
Thank god I didn't listened to him. After a while Arthur came and took his seat. I had already placed his palte.
He took a bite and made a disgusting face and was about to spit it out. But before he spit...
" Who made this ? "
He asked almost yelling.
" Uh... I... I made them... "
I shuttered in fear.
