Chapter 16: Married To You Alone

"You don't have to, and dying for my sake is pointless because many people would be upset if you died, especially those from your hometown. I'll have your maid bring your meals here since it's our personal room, "Our personal room?"

"You seem to love it, so I believe it should be our personal room rather than us sleeping in separate rooms. I need to consult with my future wife," Alexander stated, making Inara frown at the word 'wife.' She assumed she was the only one he would address as such, "You're really going to marry her?"

"You dared me…., "It was a silly challenge, I don't want you to marry her even for one second," Inara said honestly, obviously astonished she had revealed it to him, "Rest, wifey; stop worrying yourself too much," he remarked, going out of the room, "Why don't I want him to marry her? Wouldn't it be better if he did?"

Suzyo's maid informed her of Alexander's arrival, and she was very thrilled because she had genuinely come there for him, "Greetings, Young Master,"

"I reject your marriage proposal; this is the last time I'll say it. Should I prove it to you one last time so you'll believe me? I'm married already, and I cannot take you as my second wife, "But I don't mind being your second wife; I might even be your last if you want me to," Suzyo implored in tears, "Please, Young Master, I and her would undoubtedly live in harmony with you," but Alexander was unmoved; instead, he became even angrier.

"You may have wanted to become my wife as a dream, marrying me would be dangerous to you, in anyway, I cannot reciporate that feeling….," Suzyo's lips met his, briefly cutting him off, albeit this wasn't their first encounter, but Alexander was thinking about the fact that he was married.

He couldn't help but kiss her in the same lustful way she would, and Suzyo was relieved he was reciprocating, regardless of whether they were staying outside her building.

Alexander shoved her against the nearest wall, ravishing her lips with thunderous force. Inara appeared out of nowhere, apparently wanting to talk things over with Suzyo; perhaps she'd accept her as his second wife. However, she found them kissing each other lustfully and bashfully, "Young Master?"

Alexander wasn't surprised, but he quickly broke away from the kiss. Inara raced away from them, tears streaming down her cheeks, unable to bear the situation any longer.

"You've been crying since you got back, my lady. Is anything wrong? You're making me worried, "Young Master cheated on me, and he didn't even show guilt when he saw me. But why her? Why did he cheat on me when I've never done the same thing?"

"Maybe you should face him; he'd explain his reasoning, and I'm very sure he doesn't mean to harm you; you're still his wife, "He doesn't view me as one; why can't he understand that he's married? Cheating on me is wrong, and I feel so inferior right now," Inara wailed, and Yivanne couldn't find words to console or heal her suffering, but she hoped for her to have a better life.

Alexander strolled into a dark place packed with women seducing and making out from every angle, but he paid no attention to them as he walked to their leader's room. When the leader saw his visitor, he immediately drove the seductresses away.

"I wasn't expecting you to be here, Demon," Zephyr replied with a daring smirk. Alexander sat in front of Zephyr and ignored his question, "Should I get you some she-demon and…., "I need assistance from Green Demonic Woods," which surprised Zephyr.

"Why? Asking for aid will not fix the problem; you will be ignored, do you know why? You have few powers in comparison to theirs; anyone who sought them for assistance would be a hundred times stronger than them all, and ready to become their King if you want to follow the laws of Kingship," Zephyr stated, hoping he would reconsider.

Alexander replied, "You should talk to them while I do other things," which caused Zephyr to frown in surprise. Is he literally asking him to become the King?

"Are you doing this all because of her? The witches threaten her hometown, but she is unaware of this. If you speak to them, you should tell me your answer and stop pushing the issue so hard, "I'll certainly help you, but Alex, why did you carry someone else's scent? Did you meet a lady on the way here?"

"No, "Could it be your mistress…, "Just stop all these; I'm getting angry the more, it'll vanished soon, it's nothing," Alexander concluded with a crisom's gaze, and Zephyr simply nodded, understanding what this meant.

"Did you intentionally kiss her to harm your wife's feelings? You married her because you don't want her to return to her parents; you shouldn't have done it to her witness," Zephyr said, he's a powerful Demon despite his invincibility, he was present in what happened between the two of them; he came to discuss some issues with him.

Alexander was speechless to respond to his question; as the scenario developed in his thoughts, he chastised himself for emotionally harming her, but could he really consider this an unintentional act?

"But did you know it's partially referred to as 'cheating' to her? Humans are often hurt by minor scenarios, and perhaps she'd feel you wouldn't chase her away, which is why she's hurt, "Enough, Zephyr!" Alexander yelled angrily, flashing red daggers at him.

The idea that his actions are causing her sorrow does not sit well with him. Despite knowing he had cheated on her, he'd been seducing women before she arrived, and he never faulted himself for it.

"My darling, you were looking quite happy moments ago, what's it with the face?" Gwen inquired, having just entered Inara's room after Yivanne had departed, "Gwen, could you explain to me why it hurts? The feeling of being cheated by my husband," she mumbled, surprised. Gwen wished she could reunite with her son and tell him everything he needed to know about himself.

"I apologize on his behalf, but he doesn't mean to hurt you, knowing you're his wife, "What exactly bothers me about his attitude is why he felt the need to cheat on his wife. I was already considering letting him marry her as a second wife," Inara said with determination, "You shouldn't do that, my darling. Perhaps you're the one lacking something? You should focus on how to make your husband want you rather than pushing him away, Inara," Gwen said. Inara stared at her, bewildered, wondering what she meant.

—-------

Inara hasn't slept yet because she's having difficulties in sleeping, and she's hoping Alexander can spend the night in their personal room. Alexander entered the room unexpectedly, as if wishes were horses.

"Young Master?"

"Do you find it difficult to sleep, wifey? You seem surprised to see me here," Alexander scoffed; he must have seen how delighted she was when he came in, "No; I mean nothing to you that's why you cheated on me," Inara replied bitterly, he turned to face her.

"I did not cheat on you; she forced herself on me, which is why I decided not to marry a second wife, "You are no longer marrying her? So, why did you kiss her?"

"You really want to know why, wifey,"

"Yes," Alexander moved closer to her, sat on the bed, and Inara looked at him expectantly, "You're the reason why I couldn't push her away; you can't expect other women not to desire me if you're not ready to be my wife totally. I had many mistresses before marrying you, but the previous experience caused me to blame myself for accepting her kiss, which I had never done before. Also, I literally became upset with myself for hurting you emotionally, which is why I opted to be married to you alone, wifey,"
