After having the approval from both the kids, Carol’s and Lucas’s parents were very excited, so they decided to skip the engagement ceremony and directly go for marriage in a month time
Lucas didn’t oppose as he also wanted Carol by his side as soon as possible. It’s killing him every day to see in front of him but he can’t touch her.
She is very old school and she doesn’t want him to touch her before their marriage, she never told this to him directly but he understood it with the way she keeps distance from him.
It never happened to him; he never craved for any girl like this in his life, not even for Catherine.
Carol had requested that this marriage be kept low key and she wants to work after her marriage also, and she doesn’t want people in the office to know about her relationship with Lucas at least till marriage.
At first, Alice and Alex didn’t agree, but Carol somehow managed to get their approval.
Lucas was once again amazed by Carol, as much as he had seen Catherine and other girls want to show off their relationship if they are with a rich man, but Carol was not like that.
Everyone was busy preparing for the marriage.
Like every other day, Alexa reached James’s office bringing his lunch. It’s been a few days since their marriage and Alexa did everything to impress James.
She was a perfect wife a man can imagine, but Alexa was not happy with the closeness of Olivia and James.
Like every day she knocked on James’s office door but today she didn’t get any response from inside, she again knocked and waited for a few minutes, and as usual, Olivia opened the door from inside but today she looked different.
Her lipstick was messed up as if she had just kissed someone, Olivia passed Alexa giving a vicious smile.
Alexa was unable to understand anything at this moment, but James pulled her out of her thought by saying, “come in”
She walked inside and her eyes fell on the collar of James’s shirt which had a lipstick mark of the same shade which Olivia was wearing.
Alexa didn’t want to believe what her mind was telling her, but everything was in front of her eyes, James and Olivia were kissing in the office behind her back.
And James was behaving as nothing happened.
She served the food for both of them without uttering a single word.
James found it a little awkward so he tried to initiate a discussion, “Alexa”
But Alexa was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t hear his voice and continued serving food on two plates.
James was watching her silently, she was wearing a simple white sundress and she had applied a light pink lip gloss, she was unaware of how tempting her lips were to James.
Looking at her lips James remembers the night of their engagement when he had kissed her soft lips. Unable to hold himself anymore he held Alexa’s wrist and pulled her in his lap and kissed her soft lips which were torturing for so long.
Alexa tried to push him, she felt dirty thinking that a few minutes back he was kissing Olivia and now he is kissing her.
But all her efforts of pushing him went in vain, as James was much stronger than her, he trailed the kiss to her neck and tried to pull her dress off-shoulder.
Alexa felt nausea thinking that he was with Olivia sometimes back, she pushed him with all her strength and stood up from his lap and said hurriedly, “I need to use the washroom” and before James could say anything she left his office.
James wanted to tell her to use his office washroom, but before he could open his mouth she was gone.
He waited patiently for half an hour, he regretted losing his control over him, he wanted to apologize for his behavior but after half an hour she didn’t come back.
So he called his secretary to look for her, and after some time his secretary informed him that she had already left the office half an hour back.
James immediately rushed out of his office and ordered his secretary to cancel all his meetings for the rest of the day.
He reached home and rushed to Alexa’s room (maid’s room). The door was open and he entered the room and saw her sitting on the bed and crying.
He felt his heart breaking in a thousand pieces. He wanted to marry her and keep her happy forever but instead of keeping her happy, he is hurting her.
He walked towards her and hugged her from behind and said, “I am really sorry Love, I lost control over me again, I promise I will never do anything against your wish, please forgive me this time…please give me last chance”
Little did he know that Alexa was crying thinking about him with Olivia, she was upset thinking that he was cheating on her, she didn’t say anything and kept on crying in his arms, and tired of crying she dozed off in his arms.
He carried her to his bedroom and made her sleep on his bed gently, he came out of his room after covering her up properly and called his secretary ordering him to ask the maids, cooks, and all the staff to join back their duties.
When he came back to the bedroom, he noticed Alexa’s hand out of the duvet when he was about to cover her hand. He saw a few burn marks on Alexa’s hands, he took her hand in his hand and kissed her palm, he regretted all his deeds.
He always let her walk on eggshells, to be a good wife, but was he a good husband?
