Not too many people were invited to the reception. The music was playing softly and everyone was smiling, going from one corner to the other exchanging greetings and presenting their good wishes and gifts to the couple. Luke was seating in the midst of the crowd. It was an indoor reception, done under a very big beautiful canopy of flowers and decorative lights. The evening air was cool, the bride and the groom stood in front, smiling animatedly with their arms intertwined, putting on a perfect show for the guests.Lucinda crept up upon Luke like a vine, placing her hands on the back of his chair and proding her head into his face. "Luca didn't invite our parents." She murmured in dismay.Luke shrugged, crossing his legs and sipping from the cocktail in his hand. "They could have come themselves if they wanted to, I am sure they saw the announcement all over the news." He implied.Lucinda scoffed, leaning away and crossing her arms. "Come to a wedding uninvited? If he wanted them

Hazel sat in the room, breathing slowly. The lights have been turned off and the room dimly and intentionally lit by candlesticks. An alluring fragrance filled the air, it caressed her nostrils and made her insides curl. The bed was perfectly and neatly made, and a few roses sprinkled on the floor.Whose attempt at making this a romantic wedding night was this?She clasped her fingers together, breathing rapidly as she stared down at the bed beneath her. A romantic wedding night. Would Luca be here soon? Would he try to consummate the marriage.Hazel had never given much thought to this part of the wedding day. She had no idea if this was part of the contract at all. Yet, Luca had promised, he would not do anything she did not want. She fiddled nervously with her fingers, wondering if she should simply take off her clothes herself and change into something simpler before going to bed, that way she would be asleep when he came.But on a second thought, she truly wanted to see what

Rays of sunlight drifted through the huge glass windows in the corner of he room, seeping through the open blinds and into Hazel's eyes. She stirred in her sleep, turning to the other side of the bed and her head flying across her shoulders as she did so. She grabbed a pillow mindlessly, straddling it between he hands and her thighs as she continued to sleep, snoring lightly.A knock came on the door. She groaned softly, trying to ignore it, as part of a dream that would go away. But it persisted, one more time, two more times... The third time, she groaned loudly, "come in!" She groaned in annoyance. The door opened, although her eyes were still closed, she was still sleepy."Good morning ma'am." A voice greeted.Her eyes snapped open suddenly and she turned to the person in the room. "Good morning." She greeted the servant standing at the door, her eyes feeling sore."Ma'am, breakfast has been served." The servant bowed lightly.She rubbed her face in confusion, yawning and stretc

Anna came around again, a few days after her last visit. She sat on the bed while Hazel paced the room. She crossed her arms, tapping her foot against the floor whenever she would pause and lean on her hip as she let out a pent up sting of complaints."I never see him around, I have barely caught a simple glimpse of him since the wedding day. It feels like I am going crazy... I cannot take any more of it." She complained, her voice strained and bitter. Anna watched her with sadness and understanding as she ate the plate of cake in her had. Hazel had the maids bring her some, it seemed she was finally getting used to her new life. Except the part where her husband was determined to avoid her existence."I understand how you feel, I mean I cannot image it." Anna said, swallowing "This mansion is big and beautiful and has a whole line of servants at your beck and call but if you stay cooped up this long, you could go crazy."" I wouldn't last more than a week in this state if it were

Hazel could barely believe herself as Anna pulled her to the mass of tightly packed bodies, the music banging in the air and the smell of liquor so dense it felt like she could almost taste it just by breathing it in. How Anna perceived this as fun, she was yet to understand. Bodies were grinding recklessly against each other on the dance floor, sharing bodily heat, and even saliva as some were already intensely making out as they rubbed against each other in the slightly darker corners of the club. Anna turned to her as she continued to pull her through the crowd. "Come on, we need to get you something to drink." She yelled out to her over the sound of the music.She could barely hear her, but most of the words drifted through her ears at least.Hazel frowned in response. "Something to drink? You mean water? I am not thirsty." She called back to her, yelling.She frowned, if they keep yelling back and forth like this, she might lose her voice before the night is over.Ann rolled h

The air outside was cold, it ran down her bare arms and made her shiver, but right now, she wasn't sure if her shivering was from the sheer cold of the night of from the dangerously cold look in Luca's eyes as he drove them home. He hasn't said a word for over twenty minutes into the ride.His shoulders were tense and his hands were gripping the steering wheel firmly, way too firmly. She exhaled audibly, rubbing her arms from the cold. Occasionally her eyes will drift to him discreetly, and his jaw remained clenched each time. He was mad, furious perhaps, and he was holding it all in. All because of her. Hazel wasn't sure she had ever really seen Luca mad before, he had always been quiet and calm the past few weeks. And besides, this was her first time seeing him since the wedding over a week ago. She didn't think it would be in such a scenario as this. She jumped a bit as the windows made a small noise when they begun to roll upwards. She turned to him, he didn't even spare

"Why are you avoiding me?" She asked in return, turning her eyes to look into his deep blue ones.He stared at her for a moment, his eyes flickering cautiously to her lips. "Do you not want me to?"Do you not want me to?How could she want him to?All these days that flew by, she spent them all longing she would catch a simple glimpse of him, in the hallway, at the dining table, anywhere... He was always nowhere to be found. She yearned for a glimpse of him, no matter how brief, even if it was a shadow! And he thought he wanted her to avoid him?!"Why would you think that?" She asked, a small furrow between her brows, her face so close to his, he could smell the faint taste of alcohol on her, she had clearly had a few shots, although to his surprise, she seemed very stable, as though it barely had an effect on her, he had thought she would be very lightweight, or perhaps it was only one shot she had, not enough to have much of an effect. "I don't know...." He breathed, wearily. "Yo

"Hazel..." He breathed, his eyes keen. "You can't leave."She shook her head lightly, "I would go mad if you make me stay."His gaze fell to the floor, "what would I do to make you feel better about staying?"She glared at his creased forehead. "Stop. Acting. Like I don't exist." She gritted out one by one. His eyes lifted up to her, "okay." He breathed, "I would have breakfast with you every morning.""And dinner" she added without a snicker. "Okay." He nodded, "breakfast and dinner done. What else?""You would spend time with me, if you don't want me going out on my own. It's your choice." She shrugged her shoulders. He smiled, she was being bossy about it, and secretly... He liked it. "Yes, your highness." He chuckled, taking a step closer to her once more. She nearly laughed, but she tried to hold it in, her lips curving to the side and pressing together. "That should be all for now." She said. He nodded understanding. "As long as you don't go to risking yourself outside agai
