Still dressed in her rose silk robe and with coffee in her hand, Emily pressed her lips against the rim of her mug and sipped her cappuccino. The warmth of her beverage filled her, so much so that she smiled while looking at her beautiful Dahlia flowers.
She had long left Angelo in bed, taking the time to be by herself and simply admire the beauty of her garden. Four months ago, she was nothing more than a waitress at Angelo's casino. She then worked as his maid, and now she is his wife. The mere thought of how her life had taken a turn for the best still left Emily feeling lucky but also slightly scared of Angelo finding out about her.
Emily smiled as she caught sight of a bee flying past her. Moving away from her window, she walked across the room, her bare feet feeling the warmth of her heated tiles, until she sat on her sofa and switched on the TV.
Bang!
