The next morning,
Alec, got out of bed walking towards the bathroom.. Emma slowly opened her eyes seeing the door closes, she gave a sigh of relief as she sat up.. leaning against the bed board, she didn't quite sleep the entire night..her heart was unsettling, her mind was wide awake.. what's wrong with her? It's not like he was going to harm or kill her while she was asleep, he wouldn't do anything inappropriate without her concern, so what was the problem?,' I should get out of here before he comes back.. maybe go outside to the garden, till he leaves, yes, I will do just that,' she told herself getting out of bed, Emma tiptoed quietly towards the door, she reaches for the door handle.. slowly.. carefully opening it like a little thief who's trying to break into a house without a sound, a strong hand held her hand which was trying to open the door, Emma froze..not daring to look back, she bit her lower lip knowing perfectly well.. she has been caught, Alec lowered his head and said against her shoulder," are you really the damsel in distress, that you want to escape so badly?." His voice was husky and hoarse, his sweet cold breath caressing her skin, Emma simply shook her head," I - I was, simply.. admiring the door nob, it's pretty." She came up with an excuse, Alec gave a dry chuckle.. definitely not believing what she just said, his hand finally let go of hers.. but where he put it next shocked Emma, he had both his arms wrapped around her slender waist..her back hitting his broad bare chest, he rested his chin on top of her head.. saying," you're quite a bad lier, here is another rule little lamb, whenever you tell a lie, I'm gonna have to punish you." Emma finally turned around to face him in thee eyes," p - punish me?." She was lost to what kind of punishment he was referring to, does he mean he will torture her physically? She furrowed her brows," my type of punishment is pleasurable, I get to punish you by spanking you, make you moan so loudly you'll beg me to stop..my punishments go in that route," Emma had her eyes wide open.. she couldn't believe her ears, looking him dead in thee eyes.. she could see he wasn't joking, he is dead serious.. those blue metallic eyes said nothing but seriousness, she could already feel her legs trembling.. while she was still processing what he just said to her, by the time she came back to her senses, Alec was already gone..he must have gone to get dressed, Emma slowly walked to the bathroom.. shutting herself in, she slide down to the floor helplessly.
On one of the Qinn estate, in a big mansion..things were being thrown all around, the servants just stood in total helplessness and fear, a tall man ran his fingers through his messy silky hair.. his eyes burning with rage and anger as he stared at the magazine.. Alec's wedding was all over the news.. magazines.. papers and Media, his emerald green eyes wanted to burst out..he turns to the servants, demanding not to be disturbed.. as he went upstairs.
Emma walked into the room after finishing up with her warm shower, she found her suitcases in the room..her clothes had arrived, did Betha bring them? Is she here? Emma picked up her phone on the bedside table.. phoning Betha, the call was connected immediately," Betha!."
" Good morning, I had your clothes and other necessary stuff sent over." Betha told her," I see..thank you, I was wondering what I would wear to the office." Emma said," office?" Betha repeated," you're in your honeymoon phase.. what will people think and say if you come into work?."
" You know perfectly well my marriage is nothing but an agreement." Emma simply said," yes, but the public doesn't know that.. relax and enjoy yourself, at least for a little while." Emma hangs up.. unpacking her bags, she hang all her clothes in the dressing room..her shoes.. bags.. and personal belongings, she laid all her make-up.. perfumes.. and body oils on the dressing table, she wore blue shorts..a brown hoodie and slippers, tying her hair back.. she went downstairs, Alec puts away his phone when he saw her approaching, was he waiting for her to have breakfast? She thought pulling out a chair.. taking a seat, they served them.. pouring orange juice in each glass," if there's anything specific you would like, you can let me know." He told her," what I would really like to know..is when I can get back to work?." Emma said chewing on her grape," once our honeymoon phase is over." He simply told her," I want to know exactly when, this so called ' honeymoon phase' will end." She raises a brow," oh, baby girl..we haven't even began our honeymoon phase, I haven't done anything yet." Alec teases, that sentence was enough to shut her up.. Alec couldn't help but chuckle whenever she looks defeated by his teasing words," y - you, you shouldn't tease me like that." Emma blushed staring at her plate," Excuse me," Aron stepped into the room.. walking towards Alec, he whispered something to him which made his expression gloomy, he turns to look at Emma and said," I have something to take care of..I will see you later." He stood.. going with Aron, Emma watched him leave, the room fell silent..it felt lonely," Mrs Qinn," Emma lifted her gaze.. she wasn't used being called by Alec's last name, it was weird being called by that," is there something specific you would like us to prepare for lunch?." One of the maids spoke, was she asking her what to cook for lunch? How is she supposed to know that," Uhm, well.. I will let you decide on that."
" Alright ma'am,"
" Listen," Emma spoke," I'm allergic to shrimp and blueberries.. avoid those in my food."
" Mr Qinn, already informed us of it Ma'am." She gave a slight bow walking away, Emma creased her brows confusingly..he seemed to surprise her day..by..day, she stood up exploring the rest of the house..it was really big with many rooms, a study_ a library.. a couple of empty spare rooms, Emma found a certain room she found to her liking, it didn't seem like a bedroom..it has a balcony and it was completely white inside, Emma thought this room would make a great art room, she loves to paint and draw..so this room would be perfect, she went out to the backyard.. there was a beautiful garden, a big swimming pool and pool chairs.. this was absolutely perfect, touring around the house actually made her really tired.. she went back to the room to get some rest.
