pitch black

I woke up feeling very energetic as today I was going to be leaving Daniel's house and going to my new husband's house I let out a long sigh before dragging my self to the door I was still using crutches though

" Are you ready" Chris asked upon sighting Lexi

" yes,we can leave now I already said goodbye to Daniel anyway" Lexi said as Chris helped her down the stairs

" where's Ryan"

" attending meetings in my place"

" you could have asked him to come pick me instead of missing meetings"

" oh do you prefer his company to mine"

" nothing like that,I just don't want your company to go bankrupt" she said and realized she had made a fool of herself it wasn't possible for the number one company in yang city to go bankrupt just like that she facepalmed herself internally

" bankrupt" he said raising an eyebrow

" sorry, mistake" she quickly said and got into the car

" where to boss" the driver who had opened the door asked Chris

" my house" he said nonchalantly

"introduce us please the atmosphere is unbearable"

"David this is my wife and personal assistant Lexi and vice versa"

Lexi shook her head on his failure to complete the introduction but still smiled politely to David who smiled back through the review mirror

" don't smile at her" Chris said coldly

" yes boss"

David's pov

This is boss's wife can she even shoot a gun how would she face the internal strife in the Morgan's family, don't tell me boss is blinded by love she even smiled sweetly at me she would be easily fooled then he concluded and shook his head gently

Lexi obviously had no idea what the "polite" driver was thinking about she was busy thinking of how end of town the house was they had been driving for at least 40minutes now and they had shown no signs of stopping soon she looked sideways and noticed that this place was really quiet she layed her head on the head rest and dozed off about ten minutes later the car came to a full stop and she was jolted awake she opened her eyes and mouth at the same time

" this... this is a house" Lexi said

" just a leisure place is it beautiful" Chris said grinning

" you when past did you come here" she inquired not planning on moving

" some years ago"

she stared in shock at the mansion that looked like a haunted house no way this was a house she won't definitely sleep here today right

" boss hasn't been here since he was 14 that was 15 years ago" David said

"peng,peng" her crutches dropped to the ground

" come in" he invited her after helping her to pick up her crutches

" are you really planning on sleeping here tonight" Lexi asked gulping

" of course it's just 12 pm I'll call my maids to take care of the house"

" of course,maids" she said limping into the house and pitying the people who were going to clean this mess

" be careful I have a few traps set in place for intruders" Chris said grinning evily

Lexi stepped into the large house and stopped in her tracks this house was black pitch black no other colors except for the little touch of ash no other color

" what,why" she mumbled Knowing 15 yr Old Chris came here to sleep how come he enjoyed this pitch black house

" do you like the color wifey"

" absolutely not" she denied straightforwardly

" well you don't have a choice"

Lexi thought about it and smiled foolishly

" of course I don't have a choice but I have a bedroom right"

" nope we share the same room"

" I...we.. " she had no words to say at least this man saved her

" boss the cleaners are here"

" let them in I want this place cleaned in 5hours" he commanded coldly even Lexi shivered at the temperature

" yes boss"

" let's go to our room" Chris said leading the way

Lexi followed behind him quietly on the pitch black staircase thinking how on earth would someone breath in here they soon arrived at a large door which was surrounded with cobwebs but Chris opened the door with his feet letting Lexi's mouth drop once more in shock

" if you keep opening your mouth like that and easily showing your surprise you won't be able to survive"

she closed her mouth instantly as he already explained the meaning of survival to her

this room although very dusty was still black even his towel

" this was your room"

" yes this was my first mansion" he answered

" why black"

" it's beautiful" he said leaving her motionless

she wondered how the bathroom would be and it was just as she imagined pitch black she Inhaled another breath and said she would survive

the mansion was clean soon and the maids left to the staff quarters the table was set and Lexi ate alone because Chris said he wasn't coming back that night

" he wants me to sleep here alone " Lexi said grumbling and loosing appetite

" tomorrow I'll resume" she said and climed the staircase to her black bedroom.
