Leah sat on the bed after taking a warm bath ,all the memories rushed through her head with mixed emotions.
She bowed down her head and a conversation played ..
*"So tell me ,after this is done ,what do you intend to do with your life ?"Adonis asked ,while helping her put on her trench coat .
Leah looked around and enjoyed the scenery of the museum.
It was a beautiful place ,it held memories of people and the great things they had done .
Adonis definitely outdid himself this time around by bringing her there .
"Well ,I never had time to even plan for my life .
Till date ,all I've done ,the risks I've taken and the choices I've made were to give my mother a better life .
And now I'm thinking ,what can I do for myself after she's well ?
Probably, find a decent job ; like a real job and earn a monthly salary..", she looked at him with a smile .."ermm ,find an affordable apartment and start life afresh .
Maybe, this time ,I'll get lucky and build something better for myself .."She looked at him as he nodded.
"What about you ? What's the way forward after we part ways ?
Let me guess ,your life won't be boring because you'd have already taken charge of Mason's Inc and everything would fall in place..." Adonis scoffed with a chuckle after what Leah said .."Do you think ,I want Mason's Inc.because of the money ?"He asked ,expecting a sincere answer .
"I don't think what I think matters. You this rich people and your life .
But I do think, you love that company a lot for you to go through all this stress.."
They continued to walk quietly for sometime and stopped by a painting .
Adonis drew some breath in .."I'm a man who'd do anything to protect his home ,Leah .
I have everything, I'm worth more than Mason's Incorporation but as the old folks say ,'It is not taboo to return and reclaim what you have forgotten, in order to build your future.'
One day ,if we meet again ,you would understand.."They both stared at the painting.
It was the painting of 'The Proscribed Royalist' by John Everett Millais."*
Leah snapped out of her thoughts and dressed up .
Once she was done ,she stepped downstairs in her sleeved burgundy velvet short dress and long platform heels as her hair spread all over her shoulders .
She moved her curves as if picking her steps carefully to impress Adonis who couldn't look away .
Now he was going to see who was more sensual ; her or his mistresses !
Gosh !
This girl made him lose it all even without wearing make-up .
She was and pure like wine and he wondered when her eudermic skin was going to move on his simultaneously .
He craved for this girl walking towards him ; her cupid's bow lips got his lips wet from imaginary kisses.
He was surely going to punish this girl the day they both got under the sheets ; body to body !
Once she got closer ,Adonis quickly stood up and pulled a chair for her to sit which made her giggle within . "Sometimes sweet , sometimes bitter ! What kind of a man was he exactly ?" Leah thought with a seductive blush which crept her face .
God !
If the heavens could permit , she could stare at his beautiful face all day .
What was she doing ? She was supposed to hate him for confining her against her will but here she was , living like a queen that Adonis intends making her !
While Leah had her egg omelettes and green tea , she noticed Adonis closely staring at her and this made her quite nervous.
"Won't you eat ?"She asked ,sounding a bit concerned but she actually wanted to satisfy her curiosity.
Had she over dressed or something? Why was he staring at her in that manner ?
"Why don't you wear make-up? I mean it's a thing of every woman !"He asked , and her heart skipped a beat .
"Wasn't she looking beautiful enough ?"She thought ,anger and pain rushing through her veins at the same time .
"I don't prefer to use it ! I'm not like 'every' woman !"She answered, disappointed in his question .
Was it so evident that he was always making her feel like she's not up to the reach of his other women ?
"If God was a woman , he'd have been you !"That statement alone made her grin such that she couldn't hide it .
His words did things to her body that she couldn't even understand; it was a thousand feelings in one impulse .
Adonis just liked how her lips outlined the most beautiful smile he had ever seen .
"It's quite peculiar for bees and butterflies to not notice a beautiful flower like you !
Damn wife , you're so beautiful!"Adonis complimented and for the first time Leah found the word 'wife!'so meaningful and great sounding to her ears .
She couldn't help but blush for a while and he just stared at her do that .
Before she could come back to reality ,she was already on his laps ; his hands wrapped around her waist tightly and inhaling her vanilla body scent while she inhales his androstenol woody scent.
Her body was so warm and him ,with her on his laps ,what more did his body need to make him feel frisky?
Of course ,he was feeling the heat!
What was this lady doing to him at all ? Was it her plan of seduction ?
Leah on the other side at that moment just couldn't resist him either .
She was in the same condition she was in ,at that moment of the same day they both ended up together in the bathroom.
She liked how he smacked his lips all over her neck and he enjoyed teasing her with his tongue under her earlobes .
At once he stopped , and reached out for his cup of coffee , savouring every drop and waited for Leah's desperate reaction .
He wanted to see how much of an effect he had on her .
At that stound , Leah shyly bit her lips and the sights and sounds of the world filled her senses and she reveled in the sensation of the romantic breeze which stroke her soft, radiant skin .
The tension and lust between them grew stronger even when Adonis didn't touch her .
"Sir !"He quickly looked away before Adonis spotted him looking at his woman .
"Japheth !"Adonis called out and still grabbed onto Leah tightly .
Japheth looked at Adonis as if telling him to excuse Leah for a very important issue but he eyed him to speak .
Still turning away ,"Sir ! Your father is here and ...!"Before Japheth could finish his sentence, Baron had already entered into the hall and as usual,with his dark black suit and shades which complimented his walking stick .
He dismissed the subordinates behind him and Japheth left as well as per Adonis' order .
