Chapter 5

"Elsa" Micheal shouted from the bedroom at their mansion. She had convinced him to move out of his penthouse and buy a bigger house because she was ready to start a family. What she didn't expect was for him to buy a fifteen-bedroom mansion.

Secretly, she wanted a family home. She wanted a five-bedroom story building with a large backyard for their children. Of course, it would have other luxuries but what she didn't expect was a mansion in an estate, away from civilization. She felt trapped in this large home, especially when she worked from home and Micheal had to go on one of his business trips, yet she wasn't willing to voice her concerns in case he got mad.

"Baby." She felt him before she saw him. He was still in his birthday suit and his large p**** was pressing into her lower back.

"It's still fucking early come back to bed darling." He kissed the side of her neck and slipped his hand into her robe.

"Micheal, come on let me have a break. I am really sore." Last night had been terrible for her. It was like he was a wild animal. It was different from their first time when he treated her so gently. These days, they didn't do anything other than having sex. She was beginning to become irritated. If this was what marriage was, then someone should have warned her. She couldn't imagine having to wake up with this feeling between her legs. Most times, he didn't even use lube and it was always dry and painful. She was disappointed. Everyone said sex was supposed to be blissful, it was supposed to make you feel like you were on cloud nine, but she was beginning to dread it and she sometimes wondered if she had been lied to or if they were doing something wrong.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it," Micheal responded immediately and began pulling on her robe.

"Micheal, Darling stop." She said trying to push him off but he was relentless.

"Baby." She cooed but he shut her up with his lips on hers.

"Micheal, Stop" she pushed with all her energy and he finally stumbled backward and looked at her shocked.

She took a deep breath and readjusted herself. "Sweetheart please I am really sore. Later." She promised even if she dreaded her words. She walked closer to him and put her hand on his chest and stood on her tippy toes to kiss the side of his mouth.

"I am sorry, I don't know what came over me.'He apologized as he pulled her flush against him.

" It's okay."She laughed it off even if the laugh wasn't a genuine one.

Patting his chest she picked up her cup of coffee that she had been drinking and began walking upstairs.

"I have work today so I may probably stay out longer than usual okay baby." She said as she paused on the staircase and received a firm nod.

"I love you."

"Love you too," Michael replied stiffly.

.....

Elsa decided she was going to see her parents today. It's been a month since she last saw them but they always made sure to check up on her at least thrice a week, they had invited her and her newly wedded husband to dinner but Micheal always had an excuse to give, he always ended up discouraging her from going but not today. She decided she has had enough, she misses her mother's chicken casserole and her sweet voice and her father's warm hugs and musky scent.

She glanced at the clock in the kitchen and saw that it was 8am in the morning. She quickly sent a text to her mother that she was coming over. Micheal had left early this morning for a meeting and she had the whole house to herself, as usual, sometimes she was grateful for the maids, gardeners and other servants who came occasionally. For some odd reason, Micheal didn't want them leaving in the house even if they had enough rooms to hold a small village.

She approached the ensuite and took a quick shower. After which she quickly styled her hair and put on some mascara, blush and lipstick. She had fantastic skin which barely required any foundation. On the vanity, sat their wedding picture, she was smiling at the camera while Micheal had his arms wrapped around her and his head resting against her shoulder, they looked extremely happy and with no regrets at all. Elsa shook her head and walked into the closet to pick her outfit for today. Since she was going to visit her parents, she decided to go with a light blue summer dress with white heels.

.......

The little beep from Micheal's phone interrupted his meeting with his clients. This was a very important deal and he could not afford to sabotage it but that beep didn't simply mean that he had received a new message or that a new notification had come in, No, it meant that someone just walked in or out the front door of his house.

With subtle movements, he slid his phone from the front of his trousers and onto the table. With his head still up and facing the current presenter, he keyed in the password to the CCTV facing the gate of his mansion. If it was up to him, he will have had them in every room, but his wife would create a fuss over it. He saw his black mustang driving out and came to the fact that it was his wife. He did not know where she was going and she hadn't sent any text, which led him to believe she didn't want him to know.

"Sir"

He snapped his eyes up and looked at the young female presenter at the front of the room. With a little nod from him, she returned to her sear while he stood up to conclude the presentation with his offer. He still wondered where his wife was and what she was doing but decided to drop the case until the meeting ended.
