Logan walks up to me and takes my hands in his while his eyes scans me thoroughly. I can feel heat creeping to my cheeks. His gaze on me is so intense, I just wish the floors will split open for me to jump in.
"You are beautiful mate." He murmured in my ears. His breath was hot against my ears and I can no longer control the way I'm blushing.
Gracious God help me.
"Thank you." My voice could be barely heard. The music was slow and I could see the people present. All eyes was on me.
"Let me introduce you all to the new mistress of this mansion. Miss Layla, my mate. Henceforth you all must follow her commands for I will not condone any intolerable act from anyone." He said as soon as we took to the stage. Oh my! He sounds so sweet and domineering.
"You all are aware how long it took me to find my wife so any one who goes against me shall not see the light of the coming day." He continued. 'Um... I thought this was supposed to be a party. Why does he sound like this or is this how he is? Oh I get it now maybe he wants to dispel any treacherous thoughts from their minds right? Because they know my identity. Yes yes that's it!' I concluded in my head.
"May the party begin! There's lots of foods and drinks so enjoy yourselves as we welcome the new mistress." He concluded while the onlookers begin clapping. All this while he's grip on my hand was firm, he turns to look at me, his eyes staring deep into mine.
Soon we both danced. It was a nice feeling as one of his hands was on my bare back and the other on my waist. I could see longing in his eyes. The party was fun as we played different games and ate to our fill. It wasn't like those parties that happens in novels. It was more like a family get together for me. Even the maids had fun with us all.
The party ended with me getting drunk as Logan lifted me up in bridal style taking me to my room.
"Put...me...down. Put me down." I said while shaking my feet and poking at his head.
Soon we arrived at my room and lays me gently on my bed. I gazed at the tall figure in front of me before turning my back to him murmuring some rubbish words before drifting off.
'Uhhhh my head is pounding hard. Did I bump into something in my sleep? Why does it hurt so much'. I opened my eyes to see the sun peeking into my room. Gosh it's so bright! I crawled out of my bed and shut the blinds.
'Wait a minute. Just a sec. Why am I in a different clothing. Who changed my clothes.' My mind is going haywire. It feels like all the circuits and wires in my head got burnt. I can't seem to recall anything. The more I try the more my headache intensifies. Just give up I'll ask the maid she should know something.
Just then a knock came through the door. I sluggishly strolled to the door.
'What a pleasing sight.' I thought to myself.
Logan walked into my parlor and sets a tray down on the table.
"Good morning wife. How are you feeling. You drank so much last night to the extent that you couldn't walk. I had to carry you all the way up to your room. Geez I thought I was carrying 50kg cement."
I this guy crazy? He dares to call me cement of all the things in this world. I can see that his smug smile on his face again. I really need to slap it off his face.
"What do you even mean? I've been on diet for quite some time now. How dare you compare me to cement. I'm not hard!" I screamed at his face with my hands in tight fists. I should just punch his face so that he could swallow back that sentence. This damn man.
"You kept on clinging to me last night begging me to stay and here you are shouting at me." He pretended to be hurt. I can see through his facade clearly. But I'm not sure if I truly clung to him though. What can I do than to deny it head on.
"No I didn't. I never did such act." I said in the most calm and composed manner.
"You claim you didn't but at least I know you remembered me changing your clothes. You kept on complaining how you were uncomfortable in them and you couldn't remove it on your own. You do recall right?"
I was stunned. Was it this man that took of my clothes? What was I thinking!!!! God help this man that he is lying I'll skin him alive. OMG OMG what do I do. He had already cast his lustful gaze on my sacred body. How dare he. How dare this man... I'll never drink again. Never!
"W... what do you m-mean? I...I...I don't remember saying such words. Stop trying to pull my legs. It's not funny anymore." I tried my best to sound unmoved but unfortunately I couldn't.
"It's fine if you say you don't remember but just know that I do. Well enough of all that, I brought you hangover soup. Eat it before it gets cold."
"Stop. Stop it. You know what? I want you to delete everything that happened in my room last night from your memories. Now. Right now. You are not allowed to remember anything!" Can this man be any less shameless. What a pervert!
"Whatever you say my queen. I have no memories whatsoever anymore your Royal Majesty."
"Hmph. It better be gone! You can go now."
"Huh. Eat first then I'll leave."
I can feel my headaches coming back. This man is stimulating this headache and he's not willing to go.
"Whatever." I sat down and sipped my soup. It's was no longer hot. It's his fault. Urggh!
Soon enough i finished the bowl and stood up heading for my room not even sparing him a glance. I'm burning from embarrassment. I stood in front of my dresser studying my disheveled state.
"Where's Rosie?" I muttered under my breath. Just then a knock sounded on my door. I just hope it's not that perv because I'll commit murder.
Rosie walked in.
"Good morning Miss... Layla it's time for you to shower. Let me run your bath." Without waiting for my response she scurried into the bathroom.
While taking my bath a question popped up in my head. How do I ask Rosie indirectly for an answer. I simply don't believe what Logan said to me.
"Rosie why did you change me into my white pyjamas instead of the pink one." This is the most normal way I can find out if the guy was telling the truth. 'But wait. What if he was actually the one? Then Rosie would know that it was Logan!!! Gosh I should have just kept quiet and not bothered asking.' My mind was in turmoil again.
"Um...I'm sorry. I won't make such a mistake again."
Huh what's going on why is she apologising? Oh I get it now. That scoundrel lied to me.
"It's fine." I finished my shower and got dressed.
"Layla please come down for breakfast I'm sure Lord Logan is waiting for you there." Rosie's voice brought me out of my world of thoughts.
"Oh yes let's go." Great I'll confront him. Pervert!
Just as the elevator opened I saw him at the dining area fiddling with his phone. He seemed serious with whatever he was doing on his device.
I walked briskly towards him and just as I was about to talk, his mesmerising eyes met mine. All the words was push down my throat.
Those captivating eyes!
