CHAPTER THREE

 

 

Han stood there unsure of what to wear standing naked while waiting for her maid to help her out. She heard a tap on the door.

"Come in." She answered quickly already knowing it was Clea.

"My Lady, put some clothes on!" Clea said feeling embarrassed for seeing her bare.

"Pick them out. I don't know what to wear! We have to try out our wedding dresses and Lord Yen would be there.' Han whined.

#Call me Yen, Lord Yen# The voice echoed in her mind as she remembered what he had done to her that night.

"Wear something to catch his eye. He's used to seeing noble women and simple dresses are quite trendy as I've seen the noble women wearing them." Clea replied trying to act natural.

"Ugh! I am the Princess and Lady to be of this house, I will never be seen in such plain outfits. I must be the best!" Han replied disgusted, part of what she said being the exact words her mother scolded her with for not being enough.

"You are losing your mind. Now fetch me some tea, I'll handle this myself." She added picking out two elegant and seductive dresses from her dress stand.

#I don't want to flatter you but advise you as friend# Clea's lowly mind thought as she went to fetch her masters' tea.

 

 

 -In the yard

 

 

 

"Clea!" He called out after watching her walk a few steps. She turned to see Yen and one of his brothers which she didn't know.

"My Lord, Young master." She greeted from afar as she turned to continue her journey to fetch her masters' tea. She was lost in her daydreams.

"Is she okay?" Luo asked Yen finding Clea's response strange.

"I'll see you later." Yen said leaving his brother to follow Clea. Luo stood there confused about Yen's stranger action; did he not wake up at the right Giu house?

"My Lord!" She exclaimed as he grabbed her wrist. Clea was shocked to see him follow her and flushed as the memory rushed into her mind.

 

 

 -In the West wing

 

 

"Princess Han." A familiar voice called from outside the chamber.

#It's him# Han thought recalling the voice from dinner.

"Come in." She replied almost immediately. Luo stepped inside the room and saw her, the most beautiful woman adorned with jewels.

"Your beauty is heavenly." He complimented standing in front of her as he bent forward to sniff her scent.

Flustered, she drew back unsure of why this Young lord acted that way when she was his future eldest sister-in-law.

"You are full of flattery." Han replied smiling.

"I will accompany you to check the wedding fits, if you don't mind. My brother has serious matters to attend to." Luo said staring at her plump red cheeks.

 

 

 -At the main study room

 

"Have you had breakfast?" He asked, staring into her eyes. For the first time, he cared for someone.

"I haven't My Lord." Clea replied wondering why he asked a mere servant like her that question.

"I told me to call me Lord Yen, preferably Yen. It was an order not a request." He said pulling her in by the waist.

"Yen!" She voiced out unconsciously pushing him away with her weak fists as she felt his hard body on her. She quickly covered her mouth, scared that he heard.

The name sounded different in his ears, he wanted to hear her call him once more, or maybe more often. The name however sounded familiar to her.

"Have some grapes then." He quickly responded to cover her embarrassment as he stretched out his arm to pick a grape from the ones he had gotten prepared by his servant. He sent him off on an errand.

"I'll eat once you release me Lord.." She paused afraid he might do something more absurd if she didn't comply, but she couldn't bear to call him that name. What about her master? What if someone found out?

 

 -At the dressmakers' store

 

 

"Give me a moment, I'll try this dress on." She said to the dressmaker as she went into the changing room. Luo had dropped her off with the carriage at the dressmakers' store to get flowers for her bouquet.

He looked around the store searching for Han and not seeing the dressmaker to. He wasn't sure if something had happened to her as he called but no one answered.

"Han." He called again walking round the vip dress section as he realized he hadn't checked the changing room.

He walked in to her bare skin as she hadn't covered her back up. Han wasn't used to fastening belts or tying knots as Clea always did that. It was believed that a noble lady should have her maids handle that for her.

"I'm sorry. Pardon my rudeness." Luo apologized not taking his eyes off her. She was red from the embarrassment and quickly turned to face him accidentally making the top fall off.

What just happened? And why did she like that she was bare in front of him? He was embarrassed but they looked warm.

 

 -At the study

 

 

"Yen… I'll call you Yen. Please release me." Clea pleaded out of breath as she was tired of trying to escape Lord Yen who pinned her to the table and fed her grapes with his mouth.

He enjoyed watching her squirm under his gaze and powerful grip. He needed a fun way to kiss her and enjoy what her lips tasted like.

"Brother." A voice called out from his chamber, the study room was next to it. Clea was scared at the thought of someone finding them that way but Yen liked it.

He released her and watched her scurry out of the study with her flushed face.

"Yes, come in." He answered eating a grape.

#He must have scolded her terribly# Lee thought seeing Clea rush out.

"Lee." Yen called as Lee walked in. He found Lord Yen sitting in front of his paperwork.

"You seem to enjoy watching people shiver in fear of you." Lee said as he faced Yen and bowed to greet him.

 "Lord Gu."
