“By the way, is there a nice spot in the garden where I can take some pretty photos?” I asked sweetly.“Of course…” he replied with a slightly surprised look on his face.After hearing Zain out about a few spots in the gardens that might serve as a good photo-taking spot, I quickly made my escape through the mansion’s front door before taking the few steps down. Staying any longer in Zain’s presence might lead me to say something that I wasn’t supposed to. I decided to get away from him before any of that could happen.The gardens were very well tended and indeed very beautifully decorated. The various statues of angels and other mythical creatures looked very magical especially when displayed among a large variety of blooming flowers. The bright and cheerful colors of the flowers made me think of the usually dark and stormy mood and nature of their owner. Turning on the camera of my phone, I used it to inspect my reflection. After practicing my smile and turning my face from side to

“Wow! You sure are romantic. I really envy your wife. Please let her know that she looks stunning in all her photos and that it would be great if she could start posting content together with you too,” she suggested with a joyous smile as if she had just won the lottery.“Sure. Thank you, I’ll make sure to let her know that,” I replied while hoping that she would just leave already.After watching the woman leave, I picked up my phone just to realize that I didn’t even have my wife’s phone number.…Dahlia’s Point of View**Later in the afternoon**I sat cross legged on the bed with my phone in my hand as I waited for dinner time to arrive. My appetite for food had returned and that might be because I was in a much better mood than before.Some progress is better than no progress, I guess…To make me feel better about the situation that I was in, I started reflecting on some of the small steps of progress that I’ve made. Even though I haven’t reached my ultimate goal of getting my fre

I had no idea why Jenna honestly thought that someone like Bradon would genuinely want to enjoy a romantic dinner with me. With how he had addressed me, I knew immediately that he had already seen my post on social media. I wasn’t sure what kind of reaction I was going to get from him, but I had to say that getting some kind of reaction out of him was better than nothing at all.Without waiting for my reply, Bradon reached for my wrist and began pulling me behind him as he led me into the dining room. The door closed firmly behind us, and I found myself all alone with Bradon in the large dining room. Suddenly, I felt so under and inappropriately dressed for the occasion of our supposedly romantic dinner. Jenna had gone out of her way to decorate both the dining table and the dining room with flowers and various other decorations that I guessed were supposed to add to the romantic atmosphere of the room.“Take a seat…” he said coldly as he pulled a chair out for me.“Thanks…” I murmure

I didn’t want things to have to come to this, but it didn’t seem like I had any other choice. I had to go through with it and hopefully this man would keep his word.“Let’s do it. Let’s have sex,” I declared boldly.Bradon’s brows shot upwards before he cocked his head slightly to the side in disbelief. He clearly wasn’t expecting this sudden turn of events and neither did I. Before I could pause to think and change my mind, I began untying the sash around my waist and peeling the robe that I had on away from my body. I could feel him watching my every move, but I didn’t have the luxury of changing my mind anymore.“Did you come here with sex in mind?” he asked as his eyes travelled down my body before returning to my face and narrowing suspiciously at me.“Not really but I’m glad that I’m dressed for it…” I replied casually.He must have thought that I came to seduce him given the quite revealing nightgown that I had on. I guess this might count as dressing up nice and pretty for wha

“No good reason. I’m just curious…” he replied casually.“Curious? You’re curious about what exactly?” I asked with widened eyes.Bradon stared at me with an unreadable expression for a few seconds before he let out a small chuckle as if an entertaining thought had just crossed his mind. Of course, I had no idea what he was thinking about or recalling.“I’m just curious to know what kind of woman I had the misfortune to marry,” he replied with a mischievous twinkle in his blue eyes.I always thought that his eyes were a very attractive color, but nothing could compare to their beauty when there were actual emotions reflected in them.“You mean, what kind of woman had the misfortune to marry you, right?” I corrected him immediately before I remembered to hold my tongue.“I take it that you’ve already agreed to my condition,” Bradon said before he smiled meaningfully at me.Right, that was probably a very Dahlia thing to say.I bit down on my lower lip to silence myself before I would s
