I was awoken by Lily's light steps around my room . I sat up to see she'd prepared my clothes. Wow the dress was absolutely stunning.
" I'm sorry I woke you my lady..."
" Don't...just call me Jessica. " I said getting from my bed.
Lilly smiled and was about to leave when I stopped her.
" Tell me about his Majesty from his name to the least bit detail you know..." I said as I sat at the edge of my bed. It was Best I got knowing my husband.
" Well....his name are Xavier Alexander Hamilton his about in his twentys . He's a very serious man and invested in his business....um that's all I know my la... Jessica..."
" It's okay "
Lilly soon left and I headed for the shower to clean up and have breakfast. I was so relaxed by how the hot water came into contact with my skin . This were some of the perks of living a royal life. I was soon done and Lilly helped me get dressed.
I headed down as Lilly followed . The dinning room was empty and I couldn't stand eating alone so I invited Lilly to join me.

The emperor was away and I was not allowed to step outside the palace which I'd seen all that I was allowed.
I stumbled in the Library that seemed not to be visited in a long time and I decided to clean up.
" You can't Jessica or else his Majesty will end me ..."
" Don't worry it isn't my first time..."
I tried shifting my dress but it wasn't suitable to clean in . I turned to Lily and as if reading my thoughts she sighed and gestured I follow her. I changed into a more suitable wear. Some leather pants and a white shirt which I found in the Library.
I asked Lily to leave and got to work. I made sure to scrub every inch of the Library and even set up a reading spot. I wondered of what the man meant by saying that my blood was of importance. Did he plan on drinking it? Was the emperor a serial killer?
The thoughts just seemed to go on and on. I stopped and took a second to rest thinking the fact that I was married to the emperor but that didn't make me the empress that title could only be bestowed by the emperor. For now I was simply his wife. Honestly I didn't care about the title. Just then an idea popped into my mind . I would annoy the guy till he had no choice but to leave me.
I was so exhausted and passed out on the desk . I woke up to find him staring at me .
" Creep...you do know it's rude to stare"
He smirked " Can't I admire my wife?"
" Stop! " I said and handed him the ground rules I'd set up.
He chuckled upon reading them .
1. No physical contact
2. I will be allowed to leave the palace at my own will.
3. You can't hurt me .
4. This marriage is for show.
" Darling I have to adjust some things. We will have to have to have physical contact after all you are my wife..." He inched closer his breath fanning my face. The heavens grant me control.
" You know what I mean , " I said looking away.
" No problem" he grinned" I will allow you to go out on the condition that a guard accompanies you and I get to decide whether to break the marriage or not.."
I nodded in agreement " Okay "
" Now I have a rule of my own. My room is off limits and so is the basement. Two you have to follow all my orders failure to which ..."
I turned to meet his gaze and he was dead serious" We have a deal" . I got up ready to leave when he stopped me.
" Tomorrow your joining me in an exclusive party... People have to know am married "
I nodded and simply left for my room .

I was about to read a book when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest and it tightened. It wasn't the first time but it had been so long. I took a glass of water and the water became boiling hot once I came into contact with it .
After a few struggles it finally stopped and I laid on the bed heaving as beads of sweat cascaded down my head. I needed to speak to my dad urgently.
