Somehow with Emily feeling disgusted and uncomfortable, Nick trying his best to keep his cool, the rest of the evening passed as well with Noah's departure. He was not at all willing to leave the venue but he received some urgent call making him forcedly go.

Emily was thankful to heavens for making Noah leave. Not to mention a part of her was disappointed from her forced husband but she kept convincing herself that we only hve right to be disappointed by the ones whom we trust and not some criminal who has almost killed her brother, forcefully married her and messed her life completely, then why this small part of her was expecting Nick to be with her, to may be stand for the behaviour she was being treated with by that son of a b*tch Noah Canor. Whatever it was she was so badly tired both mentally and physically to think or argue anymore, she silently made her way to the room she had been staying after the whole drama of marriage.

Nick on the other hand was outside in the lawn after seeing Noah off, he just didn't have enough courage to go back in just to meet a disappointed Emily whose hatred no doubt would have just been increased like why not, even when a decent boy would ask her out politely, he would injure him so miserably so why just why could he not do anything today, he knows she won't utter a word but those cold eyes with the hint of sarcasm probably because she might think he is afraid, he just never could see that.

He sighed still being lost in a maze of his thoughts. "Why...just why God, what could have I done today, should I have choosen my love or fulfilled my duty? How could I even imagine of harming Noah when Lord Canor (Noah's dad) asked me to protect him, when I have committed myself to not let any danger ever come near Noah until my last breath. I could have already forgotten everything but h-how just how the favour of my being alive today could I forget? Emi-Emi is my love, my eternal passion, my forever obsession b-bit I could have never met her if 20 years back that night I would have been killed, how can I just let myself forget that my each breath is a result of favour... Lord's favour." He sighed deeply he knew he was wrong in not protecting Emily when he was the one, madly, in front of the entire freaking town claiming to be loving her.

He finally entered hall just to see the servants who had almost finished the cleaning, he asked one of them where Emily was, "I saw ma'am heading to bedroom" He replied shortly to which Nick nodded a bit, servant bowed a bit and left. Nick was looking upstairs towards the bedroom thinking nothing in particular but a lot of messed up things that were eating hin up every now and then.

He finally forced his steps towards bedroom. He stood in front of the door that was shut but wasn't locked. Seeing from outside he could see switched off lights assuming she slept. He half opened the door a bit making sure to not make the slightest of the sounds. As the door opened he was welcomed by a silent room that was engulfed in darkness except the little moon light coming from the opened window. He saw Emily turned to the other side resisting him to see the most relaxing sight to his eyes and heart. He entered as quietly as he could, and silently shut the door that unknowingly made a cracky sound making half asleep Emily open her eyes wide, she could have turned her head to see who it was but her tired self just avoided to turn instead kept assuming who it can be.

Nick came and directly entered bathroom when Emily heard bathroom door being unlocked and closed again, she turned to see the bedroom & bathroom door both locked from inside indicating it was Nick. When she heard bathroom's tap being turned off she again slept taking position like earlier pretending to sleep.

Nick opened the door "I know you are awake" and again silently went to his side of the bed. Emily continued to pretend even though she was caught, not as if she was awake and if he knew were they about to talk & share some sweet moments like any lovey dovey new married couple, her eyelids were still shut when she felt the side next to her sinking.

"Emily I-actually"
