Adonis let go of her wrists and stepped back a little from her .
"I have been generous enough ! I haven't even crossed the line with you .
I've given you space ; enough space to feel free and you're here blabbing a whole lot of sh*t that doesn't even move me !"He took a step closer and shook his head in disbelief .
"Dear wife ,you should learn to always be grateful for what your husband does for you !
Remember,I didn't just save your mother but I saved you too !
If it wasn't for me Leah Flair , then you'd have been reduced to nothing by your father's debtors !"Adonis cupped her face and tried to steal a kiss from her but Leah in turn angrily bit his lips ,forcing him to move back with a hiss.
"I hate you Adonis Mason! Your sight disgusts me !
Let me go !"She spat with a voice shaking with rage but Adonis turned deaf ears to her plea .
How was he going to tell her that she was the only woman that made his stone heart skip a beat ?
How was he going to make her understand that the plan took a turn when he realized how addicted he had gotten to her ?
And now she hates and disgusts him ? How possible could that be ?
His heart ached badly .
"Grab some sleep !"He turned to leave but Leah quickly rushed in front of him .
"Let me go home now ! I want to go home !"She tugged on to his shoulders.
"Oh God Leah ,how many times should I tell you that you ain't going anywhere?!
You ain't going home because you don't even have a home !
This is now your home so accept it once and for all and stop pestering me !
Dear wife , don't be stubborn because that's not what good wives do !
A good wife should obey her husband and not pester him like you're doing !"Adonis coldly said to her.
"That's not fair ! I can't be confined in here !
I don't like it in here and I want to go back to my mother !
I have rights and I'm not your slave !"Leah retorted like a little girl who was lost .
"Oh please shut up Leah! Just shut your trap up !
What's wrong with you ?!
What the hell do you want me to even do for you ?!
Are you going insane?! Huh?!
If you keep getting me angry and angry each day then forget it ,you won't even see the daylight not to talk of setting your eyes on your mother again .
And rights Leah ,you don't have any right !
You traded your rights and freedom for your mother's wellness so don't preach me anymore !
I'm tired , I'm exhausted and everything you're doing now is just getting me bored !
Damn!"Adonis screamed at Leah and this didn't even please himself.
Leah on the other hand sat down quietly in tears .
His heart pained a lot seeing her in that state and Leah was simply hurt just because he raised his voice at her .
"Grab some sleep , I'd take you to your mother tomorrow morning!"He left with mixed feelings of regret , sorrow and pain .
Once he left ,Leah climbed onto the bed , covered herself with a heavy blanket and continued to sob bitterly .
Was she expecting him to treat her any better ?
After a while , Adonis returned to the room to see Leah peacefully asleep.
He pulled the blanket over her body properly and let out a hiss .
Her eyes were swollen from crying and her nose ,reddened from sniffing.
He coaxed her shoulders calmly and carefully before taking a seat by her .
And after what felt like ages ,he let out the most difficult words from his mouth to her "I'm sorry !"He muttered with remorse in his eyes .
Gosh ! He loved this woman right here ! "I think I fell in love the way you fall sleep !
Slowly and then ,all at once !"He muttered to her again .
"I'm not used to having someone with so much affection by my side but you changed it all !
Leah , you're mine ! I know you'd gradually learn to love this stone right here !
I'm never letting you go just yet ! "He muttered once again and slept calmly by her side .
The next morning ,the day was crisp and clear .
The sun poured through the french windows onto Leah's face and it caused her to wake up lazily.
She first passed her hands all over her face and then through her hair before throwing her eyes around to check if Adonis was there but her expectations died when he wasn't around.
Why did she even need to care ?
Just in her deepest thoughts , two of his maidservants entered into the room with several clothes and accessories just for her .
"Good morning ma'am! I'm Eva and she's LeRae !"She said and placed the items on the bed while the other did same .
Angrily ,Leah pushed the items to the floor .
"There's nothing good about this morning especially when you don't know how it feels to wake up in a house you don't belong to !
I don't want them ! Everything, I don't want it !
Tell your boss that he should set me free !
Just tell him to stop acting like a psycho and let me just go back home !"She screamed at them .
The maids panicked at once by her actions but when they heard a husky voice behind them ,they bowed their heads and got dismissed by him .
"It's a beautiful morning, can't you see ? The morning is bright but I guess it didn't get to your beautiful face,wife !
Just take a look at your face this morning and match it to the intensity of the radiant sun ,does it meet comparison ?"Adonis spruced and sat by her while she grabbed the edges of the bed angrily .
"Leah ! I don't know why you don't want us to get on the same page here !
You're making it feel like I forced you into this in the first place but you and I know that ain't true !
Leah ,I don't even know why you like getting on my nerves !
Besides it was just yesterday that you promised to be of good behaviour and today , you're defiling your own words ?
Never met a soul as stubborn as you are Leah!"He said ,choosing his words carefully so that he doesn't end up hurting her feelings
