It's afternoon, and I am in sitting our room after breakfast Aaron need to attend to some urgent work, so he has to go back to New York, but he said that he will be back in the evening, so here I am in our bedroom looking out from large glass window, I am wearing white Cardiff tube floral dress
thinking how strange is this life, I never thought that Aaron and I will be this much close to each other, at first he hates me and so do I, but now I think there is something strange and very pleasing which attract me towards him so much even I didn't want then also
"Eternity," Hannah entered my room with the tray of cookies and coffee for me
"Yeah," I said to her
"Eat something dear," She said while placing a food tray in front of me
I shook my head "I am not hungry Hannah," I said to her while shaking my head and sliding the food plate away
"Please dear it's strict order from
Mr.Knight to make you eat food on time," she said smiling while nudging me playfully
"Ugh, Aaron," I growled breathing audibly through the nose
"He cares so much about you Eternity, he loves you," She said while rocking back on heels
"W...... What l... Love," I trembled this word doesn't feel good again to me after Eliot I think I want some time
"No Hannah, you say anything silly there is nothing like the love in my life," I looked down at my nose seeing her it's true he never said he loves me he only likes me but does not love
She frowned "what, didn't you both are husband and wife so how can you both don't love each other," She asked me, her eyebrows furrowed together
"Umm I don't wanna talk about this now please," I can feel tendons standing out in my neck, a visible pulse, just thinking about Aaron and thought of falling in love with my husband, but I need some time
which is true this Eliot thing is so much, I need time
She nodded and passed me a reassuring smile "Okay, but please dear eat
this," she said her face is having an inward look and I nodded to her while laying down on the bed
After she went out of the room
I stand up from bed before I can go, my phone goes off
I pick up the call
"Hello," I said
"Sweet pea, recognize me," a familiar voice replied making my jaw scratched
It didn't even take me a second to recognize whom it belongs Eliot
I clench my hand into a fist, I can feel my pulse getting high over my skin making me shiver
"Why you call me and This....... No actually listen cut the bullshit never call me again," I growled while my lips pulling back
"Woah, so now I am bullshit to you, what about our old times when you said that you will die if you didn't hear my voice in day hmm remember baby," He asked me and I felt my adrenaline rushing through the body
"I am in high school that time, and I don't know how to differentiate between true love and betrayal," I growled while closing my eyes, letting out a breath, I can't even imagine his reaction on another side
"Never call me again," I gritted and cut the phone I quickly add that number to the block list
After blocking that number, I sat up on the bed again, putting my hand in my head, I bit my lip try best not to cry but this is too much why the hell he is calling me didn't he betray me and say I am useless and said he deserves someone better than me that that in front of everyone in last day of graduation
The door of the bedroom get opened and Aaron entered our bedroom
He is wearing an Armani wrinkle-free suit looking so stunning
His face is clean shaved and his strong jaws look so attractive but tired
When he saw me he smiled so beautifully at me like he saw his Christmas gift
I stand up and go towards him
I smiled forcefully because I don't want him to sense that I am worried about Eliot thing
"How was your meeting," I asked while l pulling out his suit jacket "you are home early, didn't you are coming in the evening," I asked while helping to loosen his tie and unbuttoning his shirt
He sighed and "yeah, but I thought to come early because I wanna be here," He said to me and touched my hand which is unbuttoning his shirt
I froze his touch sent a sizzling sensation in my tummy and butterflies, I dropped my chin to my chest
"Um you go freshen up, I will bring your lunch here," I said while my shoulders hunched
Before I can go out, but he grabs my hand and pulled me towards him
I placed my hand in his exposed chest to support myself, he brings his hands towards me and let my long hair slide across my shoulder, leaning in towards me
"A... Aaron w... What happened you need something," I whispered because we are very close to each other I felt a sense of paralysis; like my muscles felt frozen
"Yeah, I want," He said while lips touch-sensitive skin of my ear I closed my eyes I don't know why but I started liking his nearness
He kissed my bare exposed shoulder because my dress is strapless and hugged me, I can hear his exhaling,
"I like your Your fragrance it gives me peace from tiredness and reminds me that I am not alone," He mumbles still hugging me
I smiled at this, I also like his nearness
"Okay, but let me go, Aaron, I wanna bring your lunch here, you must be hungry " I spoke to while trying to go but he still didn't let me go, instead of his arms tight around my waist
He frowned "how many times I have to tell you you don't need to cook, the maid will do that he stated while moving more closer towards me
"But I like to cook for you," I quickly blurt out my eyes went wide what I suddenly said to him, I can feel flush of red in my cheeks and neck, I shake my head looking away
His head tilting slightly to the side
"I... I mean, my maternal grandma always said to me that wife has to cook food for her husband like his mother to please him," I stuttered while looking around, trying my best not to look in his eyes because I look in his eyes he will catch my lie
"No you are not doing any work in the kitchen, Hannah will take care of it," He said taking quiet steps backward
"No Aaron, I want to make food for you this I want to, will you refuse me or my food does not taste well," I said to him with quick breaths what if my food does not taste well
What? No way!" He quickly said while
Leaning back, creating space
I smiled at this "then let me bring food for you,"
I come in the kitchen and make Gyros and Grilled Vegetable Caprese with Pesto and black coffee
Today I will tell him about Eliot that he called me today, I don't wanna hide anything from him, because it creates misunderstandings
After I finished preparing his food, I took the food tray and come into our bedroom Aaron already changed his clothes he is in his blue sweatpants and a white shirt but still material of his shirt couldn't hide his Greek god body his abs God what I am thinking
I shook my head and placed food in front of him, he is typing something on his laptop
I rolled my eyes
This man is workaholic
I slide his laptop away
"Aaron, food is ready to eat," I said while pointing towards food I prepared for him
He raised his eyebrows "and yours " he asked while raising his eyebrows
"I already have it, you already appoint Hannah to feed in every twenty seconds," I huffed and he laughed
He took my hand with his "doctor said you need healthy diet and nutrition, which is very important for your health,"
"But now it's too much Aaron, I can't even digest my breakfast food and she brings snacks for me, I am human I can't eat this much food," I growled while throwing my hands
and he passed me "I am not changing my decision." Look
"Come eat with me," He said with a flash of a smile
I eat with him to give him company
"Um, a... Aaron, I want to tell you something to you"
He looked at me "of course say," he nodded while taking fruits in the fork
"Umm, a..... Aaron t... Today," I Sutter but stops at mid while chewing the inside of my cheek
"Eternity," Aaron said while holding my hand tightly
"Aaron t..this morning Eliot called m... me," I said while repeatedly pinching the skin between my thumb and forefinger
Just Eliot's name is enough and his eyes turned darker a Spittle is building up in the corners of his mouth
He clenched his jaw "I know it already, that's why I come home early," He said and I felt like everything stopped around me, my throat felt so dry
I frowned "how," I swallowed
He started at me while cocking his head to the side
"GPS tracker of your phone is connected with mine so I know everything where you go, who meets and talks to you,"
My head snapped back at him, I blinked rapidly
"What you, I don't appreciate this how can you track me this means every single detail of my phone you knows," I asked while standing up and pinching my lips with my tented hands while shaking the head
"Eternity, it's for you you know what happened last time when you got kidnapped," He said coldly to me
"But you have no right to invade my privacy," I whispered stepping back to increase our personal space
"This is happening like this, and is going to be like this, whether you like it or not," He said to me giving "no benefits to argue" Look
I rolled my eyes
"No, stop this tracking thing, didn't you already appoint guards around me every time," I said while weaving my hands into the hair and pulling slightly
"It's for your safety and I already told you I am not listening anything when it will come to your safety," He said as his fingers jittering
"But.. " I stopped in mid and slightly looked away there is no point in arguing with him he will not listen to me anyway, I made my way outside the bedroom not before slamming the door of our bedroom so hard
I don't like this tracking thing, I also have my private life, I come in the garden of mansion only fresh fragrance of flowers can distract my mind
I looked around, guards are surrounding the mansion like soldiers protect the castle
Thank god, he didn't appoint any guard to follow me in the house also, this is not fair
Sighing, I sat on the soft green grass of the garden admiring beautiful flowers suddenly something hit my back, it is ball turned around my head is Paused to examine with my eyebrows furrowing and then releasing
Blinking several times
A little girl looking around six or seven years old wearing a cute white color dress
She has brown hair looking so adorable
She is playing around with flowers when she saw me she paused and her body becomes stiffened she gulped
and started going backward
I smiled towards her, she slumped when she saw me smiling towards her
I go towards her and sat down below my knees to her height smiling at her
"Hey, beautiful princess what is your name," I asked her while stocking her chubby and pink cheeks she blinked rapidly like she is trying to process what she has seen or heard
"Carly" She mumbles as crumpling under scrutiny
"Carly, wow this is so beautiful name of a beautiful girl," I said and pinched her chubby cheeks
I see her fingers tingling
"You will not tell granny that, I disturbed you, please don't tell her she will get mad at me if she finds out that I disturbed you Mrs knight," She said to me as she closed her eyes and took a calming breath
she knows me
"What no dear you didn't disturb me but I am very happy to meet a beautiful and adorable princess like you," I said to her while reaching out at her arm and stroking it gently
Before I can ask her who is she and how she come here
"Carly, Carly" I heard Hannah finding her as her eyebrows drawing together
When she saw me with her, she took a deep breath and comes towards us
"Carly how many times I have to tell you that not to leave servant quarter, but still you disobey me and come in the mansion," She said while raising her eyebrows
"I am sorry Eternity if she troubles you, I will take her back and she won't disturb you again," She smiled sheepishly at me
"Um, granny I am scared of living alone in that room so I come here to find you when I saw you are busy cleaning the mansion I came here to the garden to play, I am sorry," She apologizes to her looking at the floor
My heart melts looking at that adorable girl
"No baby, it's okay you can come here whenever you wish, I am so happy to meet you, baby," I said while caressing her hair
"It's okay Hannah, she doesn't trouble me I like her much she is adorable actually," I said to her and looked at her early her eyes lit up with my words
She passed me a reassuring nod
"Um, Hannah can she come here with you every day I will be so much happy to be with her," I asked her and saw Carly, her eyes dance with sparkle
I passed her thumbs up and she also thumbs up to me, we both looked at Hannah like desperate kids asking for candy
She grins genuinely at us
And I looked at Carly
"Ice cream," I asked as I lift her in my arms
"Yup," She replied with throaty laughter.
