He threw a credit card on the bed.

"What...?"

"You can buy things with it"

"I don't need your credit card"

"You don't have extra money to buy things, do you?"

"Even so.."

"Don't try to be proud now, don't wear anything trashy, even though it's a contract, you are my wife, don't make me look like a jerk, signing the marriage registration form is not the only thing you have to do"

"What..?"

"Obviously.. You have to act like my wife and of course, you also have to accompany me everywhere as my wife"

"But.. I've got work.."

"You have to make me your priority, that's also another term in the contract"

"That's not.." Suddenly, Xavier came close to me, I backed away but.. Bumped into the bedpost behind me and I ended up sitting on my bed.

"I won't make you work hard, I just have to make sure people around me know I have a wife, as long as you listen to me, I will set you free after 3 months, so now.. All you have to do is listen to me and don't refuse what I ask, no matter what happens" He grins.

"It sounds like I'll be a slave..."

"Ha. A slave but you will live way better than that" The bed squeaked and the distances between us shrank.

He's so close.. I became nervous as our lips almost touched, I shut my eyes, however, I don't feel anything and suddenly he pulled away, I open my eyes nervously.

"What were you expecting?"

"Ah.."

"It's okay, I will kiss you, as long as you ask me to"

".. N-no!"

"Don't worry, I don't have any problem getting girls, if you don't want me too, I won't do anything to you" huh.. I was intimidated by the idea that he might kiss me.

But his words made me feel a little rejected, after he said that, he quickly moved away from me, I felt unsettled and ignored the emotions that had occurred inside me. I was just a little distracted by the thought of being married, that's all it was, there was no chance I could ever be attracted to a man like this gangster, when I looked over at Xavier, he was staring out the window. He sometimes seems to have such lonely eyes.

"Well, Xavier"

"Xavier! Xavier, are you there!?" A high-pitched voice echoed outside the door.

What..?

"Tsk" Xavier frowns, he clicked his tongue lightly. "Come with me, Emily"

I may have been afraid of him before, but now he really looks scary, I wonder who's out there.. He roughly grabbed my arm, forced me to my feet and dragged me along behind him, a grim look covered his face. Suddenly, another high-pitched voice echoed through the house.

"Xavier!" The voice came from an elderly lady.

"Why are you here?"

"Is it true that you are going to marry?!"

"Whether it's true or not, I'm married"

"You rejected the arranged introduction your father organized for you, who is she?!"

"This is her" I was dragged in front of Xavier's mother, this is his mum?

"N-nice to meet you..."

"What are you doing with this miserable girl?!" She yelled. "The heir of the Baham family, married her...?"

Baham...?

"My name is Xavier ARIMA and also, she is the only girl who accepts my requests" Upon saying this, Xavier kissed me.

I want to resist him, but I don't have the strength.

"That's better, just sit quietly, all you have to do is respond to my requests" We whispered to each other with our lips touching.

He kissed me as roughly as I have ever been kissed in my life.

"Hum.." Xavier stretched his large hand toward my thigh, Xavier...

I wanted to resist him, but I couldn't do anything because he held me so strongly, but just at that moment, he separated his lips from mine.

"Do you want to see more?" His mums face was red, however, it wasn't out of embarrassment but because of anger.

"You are indecent!"

"I just thought I'd show off my wife's good points"

"Well, like father, like son!" Huh...? The moment she spat those words out, I felt goose bumps all over.

My head swirling, I turned around and Xavier, who was livid, I have never had the chance to see anybody so enraged, this feeling scares me, Xavier... Reflexively, I grabbed his arm and began talking to him, as if surprised by my voice, Xavier started to calm down.

"Would you mind leaving now?"

"B-but"

"There is something the two of us have to do now" Right after saying this, Xavier closed the door.

The echo of her howling voice could be heard outside the room.

"Is that okay? Talking to her like that.. She is your mother right?"

"No, she is not"

"Huh..?"

"I am a blood relative of her husband"

"Huh? What do you mean?" I felt I shouldn't have asked and looked down, averting my gaze.

I couldn't get the complexities of human relationships sorted out inside of my head.

"It seems that I should explain my situation properly other wise, it might cause inconveniences for us, besides, you probably want to know, right?"
