Raelynn slowly opened her eyes, her head aches from the previous day event. What her eyes could capture was an exquisite human, his back turned against her as she blinked.
The aura scented well. Was this what afterlife felt like? She thought, sniffing gently.
"He must be the grim reaper" She said to herself as rays of light blinded her vision.
"My lady" Raelynn could hear this two words echoing in the background. Finally, she caught sight of a damsel that owns the voice, starring directly into her eyes, smiling brightly.
"Where am I?" She found herself asking. For some Godly moments, she thought she saw the grim reaper, now a freak calling her lady.
"Who are you" Raelynn asked, sitting up.
"Don't bother my lady, I'm Aleena, your personal maid. Sir Alexa Drayce has ordered that."
"Did you just say Drayce?" Raelynn knew she was married to a Drayce at an alter where she couldn't even say I do.
"Where's the grim reaper?" She asked and all Aleena could do was give her an 'are you sane' stare.
'Seems I didn't die after all' Raelynn hissed.
"You've got to get up my lady, you're almost late for breakfast!"
In no time, they were in the dining hall Raelynn admired it.
She wished she could curse herself for admiring the hall. Buy she couldn't help it. The hall only brought her memories of Barry in a similar hall too. She could see Barry kiss her neck slowly. In that similar hall they discussed on the names of their kids while Barry placed the chandelier. She smiled, feeling the sensation.
She felt his hands run down her back.
But she was married, married to a damn Mafia!
"Are you okay my Lady?" Aleena's voice jolted her off her illusions. She smiled, moving towards a maid who had beckoned her to move forward.
Raelynn's eyes met that of a young man sitted before her. Was he a Drayce? His warm smile spoke otherwise.
A seat was pulled out for her.
"Good morning Mrs. Alexa" His deep masculine voice sent shivers down her spine.
"Under Alexa's command, I've been asked to get you to the medical center for health check while the family doctor is away"
'Alexa? So her husband's name is Alexa. Damn! How come she never knew her husband's name' She huffed.
"Take your time to eat ma'am" He smiled leaving.

Alexandra's dungeon
*****************************
"Bring him!" Alexa commanded. He was standing with his Consigliere and two other Sentinels when a man was dragged to him.
"Please Alexandra, I beg you for grace, I beg you for a second chance, I promise to right the wrong" The man they dragged trembled in fear.
"Right...How? You were a spy all these while, you kept vacillating me" Alexa yelled, his angry voice kept the man on his knees, shaking.
"I'm sorry Alexa,.I was threatened to...."
" I swear on your last breath that my name shouldn't be pronounced by your filthy mouth " He roared in anger.
" Truth be told, it wasn't my fault Ale..." He was about completing his statement when Alexandra pulled the trigger.
"I'm a man of my words" He said as he used his scarf to clean the edge of the gun. Looking at his Sentinels,
"Clean this up" He ordered.
"Yes Don" They bowed, pulling the body away.
"Mr. Radin wishes to see you" Miquel his Consigliere and Second whispered.
"Let him in" He corked the gun, and then a glare at Miquel.
"Oh good fella, shalom" Radin greeted and with a smirk, Alexa gestured him to seat.
"How well is your bride?"
Radin asked with a grin. Alexa chortled, then laughing so hard that his veins were visible, settling for a giggle then a chuckle. How dare Radin come here to mock him in his own territory? One could think he had gone insane but if there's something Alexa wouldn't joke with, that will be his Possession. Raelynn belongs to him and only him.
"Isn't she now my wife Radin?" Alexa frowned, the gun in his palm as he gently traced the lines of his hand gun.
"I forgot she resides at your place. But aren't you supposed to be with your bride or supposed wife good fella?" Radin leaned over, Alexa hated the word reside and it was clear Radin was here to mock him.
"I said she's my wife Radin!" His voice was so loud that it could have brought the whole dungeon down. The gun was now pointed at Radin.
"But I speak the truth, don't I ?" Radin whispered again, without a second thought, Alexa showed him the paths to hell.
Alexa rushed into his Study the moment he entered his Mansion. Radin had just raised the angry side of him. Without regrets that he has killed Radin, he began scattering the shelves .
"How dare that bloody Mafia not listen to me?" He threw a book out of the shelf, noticing some steps.
"Who dares come into my Study!" He raged like an angry beast, pushing one of the shelves into destruction as he saw Raelynn standing before him, her fingers trembling, her legs wobbling.
He walked faster than she could think to her, grabbed her by her neck.
"You're my possession, what I say you'll, you'll be!" He yelled at her face. It was now red and fearful, she struggled to get his hands off her neck as she choked.
Was he gonna strangle her now?
Finally, he let her go as she slowly leaned on the wall, grasping for air.
"Damn!" Alexa slammed his clenched fist against the wall, few inches to her face. Her heart pounded more, her red eyes were now dripping tears. She could feel his breath so close that all she could do was swallow hard.
He grabbed pulled her by the waist, roughly claiming her lips, ready to make them swell, at least, punishment for fainting before the marital vows.
She fought hard to let herself off Alexa's grip but his body was pressed against hers.
The more he kissed her lips, the more she cried but it seems to have an effect, Alexa learnt something new about himself.
Her lips were medicine to his anger!
He enjoyed the rough kiss, his hands carefully crossing to her back. All he could think was that she was his possession.
His right hand unzipped her dress from the back as it fell to the ground. Somehow, Raelynn never felt the urge to protest.
She let him run few fingers work at her back, he traced her body with his index finger, he stopped the moment it touched her pantie.
Alexa felt satisfied even though he wasn't, he had to control his urge. He slowly kissed her this time and pulled off finally.
Just then, Miquel barged in
" I'm sorry sir Alexa, there's an emergency, the young mistress is..." He was about finishing the statement when his eyes laid on the scattered places, the feminine cloth on the floor and then Raelynn's arm that was crossed at his back.
He quickly turned "I apologize...I didn't see anything Don, please spare my life "
It dawned on Raelynn that this beast was her husband.
Alexa let Raelynn pickup her dress, without looking back, she slid into it and rushed into her room.
"Clear this up" Alexa gestured Miquel who just nodded and sighed in relief.
