Ammy drove herself back to her house when dusk had already taken charge over the beautiful faint orange light from the setting sun.
The departure had been quite emotional for her.Even though she was coming to the man she loved with everything she owned,she felt bad that she was leaving that tranquil home...she was leaving her family back.
But Max was now her family...he was her present and would be her future if incase he doesn't divorce her.
She got to her house an almost two hours later...
The guards were at their normal duty posts but all the maids stood in two neat rows to welcome their madam home.
Her assistants as she called them, came to her in joy and bowed slightly before her.Ammy was deeply pleased to see them that she forgot that she was their boss's wife and embraced them warmly.
Both the guards and other servants smiled at their madam's behavior.She was always quiet and calm and she treated them with respect too and they loved her genuinely.
"Welcome back ma'am,"they both spoke smiling warmly at her.
"Thank you Rose and Lydia...am really glad that am finally home.I missed you both so much,"she confessed honestly not caring that they were just her maids and their worlds were now apart.
She was also from her humble background...perhaps her background was much humbled than the both of them.
The two ladies giggled happily at her confession.They helped her with the bag and walked behind her.
She was almost at half the stairs when Colbert spoke.
"Ma'am, dinner is ready.Should we set the table?"Colbert asked in respect and she frowned while smiling before talking.
"Did you know that I was coming home?"she asked still smiling.
"Yes ma'am.Sir told us before leaving and asked us to prepare for you dinner,"he responded.
The smile on Ammy's face vanished when he heard his words.Was that supposed to mean that Max left the house even though he knew she was coming home?...he didn't even wait to welcome her home.Her heart got heavier and needles pierced it badly as she thought of it that way.
Why was she even hurting because if him anyway?...It not like she expected any thing better.
"Where did he go to?...it's night already,"she couldn't help but ask out of pure curiosity.
"Yes ma'am?"Colbert asked.Not because he had not heard her question but because he didn't want to answer it.
"I asked where he has gone to at this time,"she pardoned him,looking straight at his face.
Colbert sighed silently and averted his gaze towards the kitchen door.
This sir of his liked making his life hard...he really liked Ammy and didn't like seeing her hurt so how on earth would he tell her the truth?
But he couldn't lie to her either.
"He went out with m-miss E-evans,"he stuttered the response and Ammy closed her eyes for some seconds at his response.
He knew that she was coming home but he took Renna out...that hurt and her heart got heavier that she was almost having a shortness of breathe.
' Oh my am asthmatic and should let emotions take over me,'she reminded herself and sniffed the refreshing air of the house.
She wanted to ask Rose to bring back her bag and leave again but her mind stood against that.
Till when would she keep on running away from her troubles?
Till when would she run away from the truth?...and it's not like running away would change the truth.
She decided to stay.She wouldn't run away again.She would never leave her marital home because of his lover.
It's not like she expected him to love her and even if he would,then it would atleast take some time.
They had just been married for some short period now...
"Set the table please,"she commanded the butler in a low voice and walked to the suite at the upper floor.
Colbert watched her as she walked away.He felt guilty for hurting her but neither could he have lied to her.That was a very big crime...to lie to the young madam of the Storm family.
Ammy found her assistants standing at the door but they had kept the bag inside.
"Thanks you both.You can go to your quarters now since I won't need help with anything,"she spoke calmly, smiling at them no matter the sharp needles that were piercing her heart and it's heavy weighing.
"Yes ma'am... goodnight ma'am,"they both spoke with a slight bow and left her alone.
She walked into the room and walked around unhurriedly as if she was surveying the place.She ran the tips of her fingers slowly against the wall,with a sad smile on.
The walls were very soft against her finger tips that she couldn't help but smile with the pleasure at their feeling, taking the pain in her heart away.
She walked around the room,her fingers gliding along at the smooth texture of the wall.
'How on earth would a wall be so fine?'she couldn't help but be awestruck.
She didn't know she had been there for how long but when she almost left to go to the bathroom for her shower,she felt something on her fingers.
It was like there was a line there but looking at the place,it looked just fine.She ran her fingers against the place again.She felt it,there was a line there as really wanted to know what that line was.
But how would she know what it was it she couldn't see it but only felt it.
'Maybe I can't see it because of the light,maybe I should switch it off the lights,'she thought as she looked at the spot.
That was a good idea according to her...but we both know it was a nonsensical idea.
She turned and walked towards the bedside lamp.She stretched her hand to switch it off but her eyes were attracted to the door before she could.
Max stood there looking at her...his right hand on his neck.Maybe he was trying to take the tie off.
He smiled at her when there eyes met...but none of them said anything. Max studied her face carefully.
She was damn beautiful!
Her lashes were as long as they always were and her eyes were so captivating.
His gaze fell on her lips.They were full and had a little bit of the pink color on them.He lingered there for some more minutes....and he felt the temperature in the room raising.
It was getting hot in there and he knew why.He wasn't some innocent virgin.He knew that his body yearned for hers.
He wanted to kiss her.He wanted to claim her as his and devour her like a ragging bull.He desired to plung into her merciless until she carried out his name loudly.
He locked the door behind him and walked towards her unhurriedly.
Ammy's heart skipped and began thundering against her chest as he walked closer.
What was he going to do to her now?...
His gaze was still on her lips and she couldn't help but wonder what was just wrong with him.Is it that Renna had not satisfied him enough?...or what had Renna given to him to make him gaze at her like that?...he was undressing her with his gaze for crying out loud!!
Ammy stepped a step back when he got closer to her and he moved towards her again.She wanted to step back again but he slid his strong arm in her slim waist and pulled her to himself without caution.
Ammy gasped as her bossom landed oh his hard chest.She kept her gaze downcast, on his chest.
As much as she wasn't looking at him,she could feel his eyes still on her.
Max smiled at his beautiful wife's silly actions.
Why was she not looking at him?...had she grown all shy now?
If only she knew how beautiful those blue eyes of hers were,he would just look into his...and if only she knew how her little actions were tormenting him,she would just look at him.
He raised her chin,making her look at him.Max looked at her for a second longer before bending to her.
He tilted his head and captured her lips lovingly.Ammy wanted to push him away from her but she couldn't.
It seems his touches still arrested her and made her mind go blank.
He had taken Renna out this night and she was angry but now that she felt his soft lips on hers,her anger seemed to have disappeared in the thin air.
Max broke the kiss and looked at her eyes...the thread of sanity broke as she gazed into those beautiful and warm eyes of her.
He could see a mixture of something on those eyes of hers but she couldn't tell what those were.
He moved his face closer and captured her lips again.He kissed her more passionately and hungrily.
He got even more fierce when the beautiful flower in his arms returned the his kiss, in the same manner and the same passion.
That was all he needed....a green light!
