Reana moved restlessly. There was pain down there after last night's intercourse. Reana recalled event after event that had happened to her last night, when Mario touched her gently and fondled her, then they had sex.
Reana turned around and did not see Mario beside her. It seemed that Mario left early in the morning. All Reana could find was Zia standing not far from her bed.
"Zia, what time is it?" asked Reana, pressing the top of her head.
"It's almost 11, ma'am," Zia replied. "Mrs. Rea is hungry? I have breakfast on the table."
"Is there no breakfast in the dining room?"
"It's too late, Mrs. Rea. Since you woke up at noon, everyone is already on the move," Zia explained.
"Alright."
"I have your clothes ready in the dressing room."
"Okay."
Zia smiled at the sight of Reana wearing nothing on her body, only a blanket to cover part of her body. Reana got up from the bed and leaned against the headboard.
"What time did you leave this room?" Reana asked.
"Just an hour ago."
"An hour ago? Why didn't you wake me up?"
"Mr. Mario said... Mrs. Rea should rest for a while."
"Arghh. Never mind. I don't want to think anymore." Reana tried to forget the events of last night. "Oh yeah. What kind of medicine did you give me last night?"
"A sedative."
"Don't lie, Zia. I know it wasn't a tranquilizer."
"How do you know, ma'am?"
"After I took the drug, all I felt was a burning heat, as if my body was forcing me to do something I had refused to do."
Zia stroked the back of her neck. She looked away and chuckled.
"So was I right?" asked Reana.
"It was given to me by Assistant Hans. He said it was good for your body. So, I gave it to him, never asked what it was."
"That's all right. I'm going to take a shower." Reana felt a sting down there, but she tried to stay calm; she didn't want to look sick in front of Zia.
"I've got your bath water and breakfast bread ready there. Heavy meals are on the table too."
Zia helped Reana get into the bathroom. Zia also took a bathrobe for Reana, then she went out of the bathroom and let Reana take a bath.
This luxurious life was like nothing Reana had ever experienced before, even the bathroom in her room was so spacious that it was like her room in her father's house.
Reana soaked in the bathtub, the water in the bathtub was also warm, and Zia had put soap suds in it. There was a piece of bread and hot tea on the side of the bathtub.
Reana grabbed it and took a small bite, then she thought back to last night, when her virginity had been taken away by her husband. The man who had married her yesterday.
Reana let her body be wrapped in fragrant foam; she put down the bread and sipped her favorite latte. Before Zia prepared it, Zia already knew what Reana liked.
Reana looked at the early morning scenery outside. The city seemed to be busy, and the bathroom was all glass walls, so when the curtains were open, everything was visible in front of the eyes. This could be the most comfortable place for Reana to calm down.
Soon, the door opened. Reana didn't see who came in.
"I still want to be here, Zia. Leave me alone." Reana was still soaking herself.
"I'm going out of town."
Reana rounded her eyes and turned to see Mario standing next to her with a seductive gaze. Mario already looked neat and handsome. She expected Mario to be an old man with a broken heart, but that was different from what was in front of her.
"So?"
"You're coming with me."
"Me? Coming with you?" asked Reana, pointing at herself.
"Yes. Why?"
"Nothing. But why me? Don't you have three other wives?"
"I've already taken them out, so it's your turn."
"Ah, no. I still want to stay here."
"I said, come, don't resist. I'll wait for you in half an hour in the studies." Mario stepped out of the bathroom.
"I DON'T WANT TO!" shouted Reana.
Mario was gone and out of sight. Reana still liked to soak herself here, but she was forced to get up and change because Mario needed her.
What did Mario want from her? They had sex last night, but why even think about taking him out of town? What would happen outside the city?
"Mrs. Rea, I have prepared clothes for you to wear abroad with Mr. Mario." Zia approached Reana.
"Zia, why do I have to go with that master of yours?"
"Because it seems... Mr. Mario is pleased with you."
"Is it true that he has taken other wives out of town?"
"Never."
"Ha? Never? You said you had."
"I don't know either. You have to get ready, you only have half an hour to dress up and look even more beautiful."
"You're coming, right?" asked Reana.
"No, ma'am. I will wait for Mrs. Rea at the house. You are traveling with Mr. Mario only."
Sighing softly, she took a small bite of the bread and took another sip of her latte. Reana got up from her seat and told Zia to come out because she was going to take a bath under the shower.
Reana looked unhappy, but this was her husband's order, so she had to accept it.
Reana washed her body. She kept thinking about last night, which was quite beautiful and worth remembering because it was her first time.
