Ammy finally calmed down.Her sobbing subsided.The room was eerily silent and she no longer felt her husband's cold and heavy aura. She could therefore tell that she was now alone in the room.
She could not help wondering what she had done to deserve such kind of a life and treatment just when she made herself believe that her pain-times were over.She once lost a person she loved most,her mother and now,the man she was in love with could not return the feelings she had for him.It really was not a must for her that he should love her back but atleast,he could just respect her feelings, atleast respect her.
Was that too much for her to want or expect?...respect?
"Ma'am,dinner is served,"Colbert informed his madam who was still seated on the floor, bringing her from her world of thoughts.She did not know when he had got inside.She didn't even hear any knock on the door but its not like she would have heard even if he did.
Ammy sighed silently when she heard of dinner.So she would go sit beside the man who only saw her like his sex toy.If it were not for her friends who had visited her,she would not have gone downstairs but because of them,she had to.
She had to wipe away all her tears without traces,put on a sweet smile and act like nothing was wrong.But she was not sure if she could do that.Her heart was still throbbing in pain that tears kept on escaping their glands despite her struggle to keep them back.
"Thank you Bert..."she responded to the man who was standing at the door waiting for her response.
She stood from the floor and walked to the bathroom.She splashed cold water on her face and wiped it off with a face towel.She stared at her reflection.
"Looking much better!"she mused.
But something was definitely missing....her smile.
She sighed silent then smiled.It was very clear that it was a forced smile and anyone would note that.She stared at her reflection again and began opening chapters that were long closed.In those chapters,she was a happy girl.
A girl with dreams and hopes and a beautiful laid future.
A girl with all she needed....a cute little family and everything though small,but enough.
Those memories made her lips curve up widely.Ofcourse she had lost all those.She had lost her dreams,hopes and future.They were no longer on her own hands but in those of her husband but she was glad.She was glad that she once had those dreams and more than just her family to leave for.Her smile broadened and thats all she needed...a real smile.
She smiled again and walked out of the bathroom towards the door.She halted when her eyes fell on the man standing at the ajar door.It seemed like he was waiting for her to come out of the bathroom.
Ammy ignored him and continued walking towards the door.
"Excuse me,"she asked politely not looking at his face.If she meant nothing and she was nothing to him,then she atleast had to behave herself in her master's house,right?
Max stared at her for a while then moved away from the door.Ammy walked past him without saying anything and went downstairs.Max kept on staring at her retreating silhouette.
"Should I apologize?"he asked himself.
"No way.There is no way am apologizing to a woman,"he continued.
"But she isn't any woman Maxwell.She is your wife and you truly love her and she did nothing to deserve your treatment...your meanness was truly uncalled for,"something deep within him reminded him.
That was true and he should apologize.He raised his hand to his head and ran his fingers frustratedly in his soft hair.
Minutes later, Maxwell joined the three ladies at the dinning table.They were all chatting happily while the maids served their food.He sat on the table besides Ammy.
She really felt uncomfortable sitting close to him after his outburst earlier and she would have reflexively moved if the chair was bigger but unfortunately...
She wanted to move and sit on the other chair but that would make her friends suspicious and the last thing she wanted was questions she could not answer without tears in her eyes.
She gulped, containing and sealing her anger,pain and discomfort that was seething inside of her.
She remained silent, watching the maid servants serve her food.
"Thank you,"she murmured her appreciation to the maid who served her and they left after a slight bow.
Milady and Maya frowned while looking at the couple before them.The maids had left without serving Maxwell's good and they were all just silent.Still in their daze,they saw Ammy stand from her seat.She took the plate in front of Maxwell and served the food.
Since they were married,the maid servants never served them food since Ammy took that upon herself unless there were visitors as they had today.
Max's eyes were glued on Ammy's face as she served him the food.She was all smiles like normal while chatting with her friends but he knew her too well and he could tell that she was still hurting.
He was also hurt.He was hurt that he was the one who hurt her.
Milady looked at Ammy as she served and spoke.
"Such a good wife,huh?"Maya began teasing her with a broad smile on.
If only she knew what was in her mind,she wouldn't say that.Moreso not after what Maxwell said.
"Of course Maya...when you get married,your husband becomes your responsibility and all you can do is serve him in every way possible,"she responded with a smile.
Without knowing the reason herself,she was still glad that he is her husband and she would do her duties just well.
"That's cool but that doesn't mean that we should be slaves to our husbands,that will be just promoting make chauvinism directly,"Milady objected.Ofcourse she would,she was very stubborn and agreeing to what Ammy said was just impossible for her.
"Encouraging male chauvinism is different from a wife's duties babes and you don't need to worry about it since you are not even married yet,"Ammy spoke making her sigh in defeat.
Max clenched his fists when he heard Ammy call his sister babes again.She was just stubborn and wouldn't change that part.
'Does she have to call her that?'he mused furiously while peering at her.
"She doesn't even have a fiance yet,"Maya corrected laughing.
"But I have a boyfriend unlike you babes,"Milady took her turn in teasing Maya who was still single,making them laugh loud at Maya.
"You should have your meal and chat later,"Max's deep and cold voice beemed in the room.
"That's right,sorry Max,"Milady apologized and they all began eating.
After the meal,they all went to their rooms and Ammy joined her friends for some chit chat.Ammy later went back to her room.Even though she had a fight with Max,she couldn't run away from her room She had promised never to run away from him again and that's what she would do.She found Maxwell already lying on the bed.She assumed he was asleep since it was already very late.She went to the bathroom to freshen up before joining him on the bed.
"I want to take you somewhere tomorrow,"Max spoke after a very long period of silence between them.Ammy was not yet asleep when he spoke but she still remained silent.
'He wasn't asleep yet?'Ammy asked herself when he spoke.
"We will go in the afternoon,"he continued.
"I don't think I want to go anywhere with you Maxwell,"she finally spoke.
"Am sure it did not sound like a request..."he responded coldly.
"Oh!...so sorry sir.I almost forgot my place again.Ofcourse I will,"Ammy spoke.
"I wonder how I can share the bed with my master now!"she spoke again making Max turn his head to her side.He could bear her being angry at him but not sharing the bed...that was a no.
Ammy stood from the bed and was ready to stand up but he held her hand before she could move.
"What's that supposed to mean?"he asked coldly.
"What do you mean by that?....I am nothing to you so how can I share the bed with a total stranger who just happens to be my master...my boss!"she responded calmly,her eyes steady on his now dark face.He was angry.
"Do I have to spell it out to you that you are my wife?"he asked angrily making Ammy smile.
"Wife?...I thought I was nothing to you but just your sex worker who is to satisfy you when you feel like,"Ammy responded.
Max decided to change his course.She was angry and how she was pouting her lips made her look stunning.So instead of getting angry too,he could just tease her some more.
"You are right and thank you for reminding me..."he began.Ammy frowned at him in confusion.She was not only confused by his change in mood but also how he spoke.
"Yes...you reminded me that I need some satisfaction tonight.All night long for that matter,"he spoke making Ammy gasp in shock.Her face turned all red when she started thinking of them making love the whole night.
"It seems,my...I will get a name for you soon but it seems you like my offer,"he told her.
"Offer!?...it's my body so I decide on when to have a sexual relation with you and am not doing that with you anymore,"Ammy spoke firmly.
"Tsk tsk,too bad because it's your job to satisfy me any time I want to....and you said it yourself tonight...it's a wife's duty to satisfy the husband dear wife,"he spoke moving closer to her.He moved to her back and yanked her to himself from behind,his hands holding her waist possessively.
Ammy gasped when her back hit his hard muscular chest.She realized when she gained her composure that her butt was pressing against something huge and rock hard.
Her heart began palpitating both in abit anxiety and need.Max slowly turned her to face him.He studied her face carefully.Her eyes still held that sparkle they had when he touched her.She was just very beautiful.
He inched his head closer and captured her lips in his,and his hands began roaming her body lovingly and erotically.
