His Obsession

Chapter 7

~ADELE~

I slept like a baby. I must say, I never slept like this, not for the last few years. It could be the change of room or my situation. Mike did not annoy me this morning, but I was about to face a new challenge.

I flapped my eyes and looked around. It feels like the room got bigger the last time I saw it. The morning lights sprinkled every part of this room and gave it an energetic look.

"Good morning to me," I sighed. Thinking of last night, I was about to lose my virginity to my unknown husband. I touched my lips where I felt his presence the most. He felt like a hungry lion who wanted to eat me roughly. I gulped at the thought of his company with me.

I fear how he would treat me the following nights. But I needed to discover a lot about him. I got up from my bed as my feet landed on the fluffy white rug underneath my feet. I enjoyed a moment rubbing my feet against this soft thing. Isn't it strange we all do some childish thing in the middle of a stressful situation to relax our minds?

I stood, entered the bathroom, and did my morning business. Well, if my husband didn't want to show himself to me, I was sure he would not come to me in daylight. Maybe he doesn't care about me, or it could be something else.

But why did he tell me? That I am his redemption?

Coming to my closet, I dropped my bathrobe on the floor and wore a fresh pair of undergarments. I didn't know who selected these clothes, but whoever knew every inch of my curves. I wore a simple yet elegant dress, which comes as my second skin. The short sleeves were comfortable in this hot weather. A tomato red dress complimented my flawless skin. I made a one-sided braid of my long chocolate brown hair and applied light makeup.

"Let's explore the place, Adele," I told myself, trying to forget last night. I wanted to call Blaise first, but the rumbling in my stomach reminded me I hadn't had a bite since yesterday.

I opened the door and walked alone in the hallway. Once I reached the living room, I saw Maria giving instructions to others.

"Mam," she bowed her head towards me.

"Good morning," I looked around.

"Would you like to eat something? We were waiting for you, Mam," Maria greeted me at this big table filled with many breakfast options. Maria filled my portion, and I was stunned looking at the table.

"No, no, I can't eat that much," I resisted. Maria smiled.

"Mam, Senor told us to take care of your health. Your iron count is low, and he wanted you to stay healthy."

The information she gave startled me for a minute. I tested my blood a few months ago. Does that mean he dug out all the information about me?

"How in the world does your Senor know about my blood count?"

She smiled and pushed the spoon into my mouth.

"He knows everything about you." She answered.

"Yeah," I whispered, knowing I knew nothing about him.

Why shouldn't I be surprised about this?

He paid the debt, and now he is officially my husband. The most surprising thing was I didn't know his name, but he knew everything about me.

After finishing breakfast alone in that big dining room, I thought about roaming around.

"Are you Senor at home?" I asked my last question.

Maria smiled and shrugged.

"Well, no worries." I knew she was not supposed to talk about him. I stood near the main door about to go out into the garden, when I saw Mr. Vincent talking to some people.
