Allure of Darkness!

22. The Owner?

Marona's POV

It's been a few days since we are staying at the island and now I am sure that Mikhail is not here for honeymoon but for some business because he leaves in the morning and comes back at night.
Not like I am complaining, my body gets rest whenever he is gone.

The man doesn't know how to stop once he starts and my body feels him for hours after he stops. As he said, he didn't give me clothes and I am wearing his t-shirts.
He occasionally teases me about it but now I don't care because I know that he does it on purpose to make me uncomfortable.

I was standing on the balcony, feeling the breeze when the maid came into the room. She was carrying bags and placed them on the bed.
"Ma'am, Sir has asked you to get ready."

I frowned.
"For what?"

"That I am not aware of, sorry!"
She looked at me apologetically before leaving.

Right, I doubt he hardly discusses his plans with himself, let alone discussing with someone else.

I checked the bags and saw lavish dress, shoes and jewellery.
What is this for? Are we going to some event because the date with Mikhail sounds difficult.

It's almost five in the evening, I should start getting ready if he is really taking me somewhere.
I pulled out the dress and my eyes widened at it, it's a sparkling rose gold dress with a mermaid pattern and long slit.
The gown which celebrities wear at Met Gala.

Another boring party, I almost cried. I don't want to attend it. As always, I'll be left alone while he will be socializing with his important people like Laurence.

But I am bored after staying here for days. So why not just go to an event in a beautiful dress and take some good pictures. I should learn to entertain myself, I guess.

I huffed and grabbed the dress before going to the closet and changing into it. The back of the dress is beautiful with a rose gold design so I tied my hair into a bun and then did the makeup, I am not really good at it but I can do decent work.

It was seven in the evening when I was ready, finally I wore my heels and walked out of the closet.

The silhouette was standing on the balcony and I understood that it was Mikhail. I am finally in proper dress after roaming in front of him half naked, there is a weird feeling in my stomach after thinking how he will think about my look.
I shouldn't care but still it's there!

I gently pushed aside the curtain and peeped towards him. He is in his black tuxedo, looking breathtakingly handsome.
There is a sparkling broach on his tuxedo and it's screaming luxury.
His lush hair is set into a perfect hairstyle, the lavish watch is reflected under the light and the aura is powerful as always.
The jaw is set into sharp form as he stares pointedly at the chair which is in front of him. He looks more dangerous when he is silent but why is he staring at the chair like he is looking at someone.
The chair is empty. His jaw ticked like he wanted to say something but stayed silent.

I cleared my throat and grabbed his attention. He glanced at me twice like he couldn't believe that it was me standing in front of him.
His eyes roamed on me adoringly from head to toe. Adoringly?

He stepped towards me and his arm wrapped around me while pulling me closer. His lips rested on my lips but didn't ruin my lipstick.
"Beautiful!"

I could feel my cheeks turning hot.
"Thanks!"
I forced a smile.

"Necklace is missing"
He looked at my neck disapprovingly.

I touched my neck nervously.
"It would look too flashy and heavy..."
I purposely didn't wear it because I don't like the heavy look. The necklace was looking beautiful in this dress but I like it simple.
