Surprise in the morning

Rose had finished showering after struggling with her raging thoughts for an hour in the bathroom.

Now Rose was looking for a nightgown that might be in the closet like the dresses she wore on the way to this place.

By glancing at William who seemed to have fallen asleep, Rose could finally feel more relaxed especially since she was only wearing a bathrobe now.

"But where's the nightgown?" Rose asked confusedly, she was sifting through some of the silk dresses that hung beautifully in the closet.

Dresses are made of thin and see-through and very minimal with striking colors.

"You pervert!" Rose said angrily.

"I will not touch a woman who still loves another man." Ridiculously Rose repeated how William had said that like a gentleman but seeing this row of nightgowns was the same as seeing how perverted William was.

Rose pulled out a red, see-through lace dress complete with very defiant undergarments.

Wearing this dress is the same as wearing nothing. Rose was furious to see it.

There was no way that she would only wear a bathrobe when she slept, on the same bed as William.

Oh, I hate my mind. Rose had no other choice, she ended up choosing an opaque black dress that had a low cleavage and was very short, at least it was the only nightgown that was not see-through while there was no other dress I don't know what to wear tomorrow.

Rose quickly put on her nightgown, she didn't want William to see her, and then immediately got up on the bed and covered herself with the blanket. Don't forget Rose also put two bolster pillows as a barrier so that William doesn't get close to her.

"I can't sleep," Rose muttered after reopening her eyes after trying to fall asleep for a while.

She then glanced at William who was still asleep, his face was very restless. His forehead was full of sweat and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

"I'm sorry." William delirious made Rose surprised to hear it.

What did William dream that he had to apologize?

"Don't... Don't hate me... Please don't hate me." William's voice returned, sounding increasingly restless.

Rose finally shifted her body closer to William and tried to wake him up.

"William..." Rose called while William was still babbling.

"Wake up, it's all just a dream wake up William." Called Rose back who was starting to feel anxious.

Could William dream of her? Could it be that William felt guilty for her?

Rose suddenly felt guilty now.

"Don't hate me..."

"I won't hate you..." Rose said soothingly while patting William's shoulder lightly.

William slowly calmed down and finally stopped talking.

"This man, is he really in love with me?"

....

William awoke to the warm sun hitting his face through the crack in the window.

Last night he had a bad dream, Jackson's words haunted him until he was carried away by a dream that his younger brother hated him now but then he heard someone's soothing voice and the fear disappeared.

"I won't hate you..." Rose's voice was delirious.

William just realized that Rose was asleep in his arms.

Was this why his arms felt sore from the girl sleeping in his arms?

"Who said last night that I wouldn't let you touch me," William mumbled amusedly, he couldn't help but smile remembering how fierce Rose had been last night.

But Rose's voice reminded William of the voice that dispelled the fear in his dream, could it be Rose's voice?

William was about to move Rose's head when he heard a knock on the door, Jane then emerged from behind the unlocked door.

"Am I bothering you?" Jane asked quietly after seeing Rose still sleeping in William's arms.

Jane didn't allow William to come to her, she just said quietly, "We're all going, enjoy your honeymoon. Mom moved Rose's dresses to the next room. Enjoy your day here." Jane said before closing the meeting room door again.

Dresses? William didn't understand why his mother moved Rose's dress to the next room, he then looked under the blanket and the sight he shouldn't have seen so clearly under the blanket made William's face turn red.

William increasingly wanted to move Rose away from him but Rose hugged him even tighter.

Oh, God...

William could only swallow his saliva, he tried to regulate his breath, and shifted his gaze to all directions of the room but couldn't get rid of his wild thoughts while the warm roar of Rose's breath touched the nape of his neck.

"Wake up or not?" William said thoughtfully.

Rose was still asleep but William was almost out of breath so he carefully put Rose's head on the pillow.

Finally, William was able to get away from Rose, he got up from the bed to rush to the bathroom but his steps stopped when he heard the bell.

Who rang the bell so early? What a late guest but it looks like Jane also brought the mansion's maid with her and only left her with Rose on this island.

The bell that didn't stop ringing was annoying but William still ignored it and chose to take a shower.

But the bell kept ringing making Rose finally wake up, she faintly wiped her eyes and looked around, it was already morning or maybe it was already noon.

William seemed to be taking a shower and heard the sound of gurgling water coming from the bathroom.

Rose lazily got up from her sleep, she intended to open the door but seeing her reflection in the mirror wearing a skimpy nightgown made Rose not dare to come out, she didn't want anyone to see her wearing this damn dress.

But the bell kept ringing loud and annoying. Rose then walked over to William's wardrobe and decided to wear William's shirt which was too big for her but at least longer and able to cover her cleavage.

Barefoot, Rose came out of her room, and down the stairs to open the door she hadn't realized that the condition of the mansion was very quiet.

"The door is huge." It took Rose to pull the doorknobs wide open.

The door was wide open, Rose lifted her head and saw who had come to visit, was it one of William's relatives too or...

"Rayhan."

An unwanted surprise, Rayhan came with a pale face and currently looked at him quietly.

Why did Rayhan have to come today and not yesterday?

Rose had tears in her eyes and almost wobbled down her body if William hadn't come and hugged her.

"Looks like a guest came late. Too bad our wedding party ended yesterday." William said in a friendly tone of voice and full of smiles but not a warm smile but a mocking smile.

"Your cell phone," Rayhan said while giving Rose's cellphone to Rose.

But before Rose's shaking hand could reach it, William had preceded her.

"Thank you," said William.

"Honey, you better take a shower. I know you like my scent but we've made love, we smell the same now, you don't have to wear my shirt all the time." William continued while kissing Rose's cheek warmly.

Rose couldn't answer to argue other than running towards her room.

"Come in, it looks like your heart is in pain." Invite William to step away from Rayhan who is still standing in the doorway.
