I guess I'm also going to work from home today.
When I woke up the next time, I found myself alone in bed. He must be working in his home office. I sat up and stretched my upper body before freshening up and getting back to work. I still didn't have my study in this house, so I decided to do my work in the bedroom for now. I will ask Fergus to set up an empty room for my study later. Fergus knows about our marriage. I think Erick told him about it. He even knows about my father being in the hospital. He asked me if he was doing better now. I told him everything while I was eating my dinner alone. Erick was still busy with some meetings on video call.
Who does a meeting at this hour?
He doesn't take rest and doesn't even let other people rest. He joined me for dinner when I was almost done eating. Even though I was done eating, he still made me sit at the table until he finished his dinner. We went to bed together. I was tired, so I slept as soon as I laid down in bed. Erick let me sleep and didn't disturb me. After two days, Dad was discharged from the hospital. He was recovering. Lily has forbidden him from working until he completely recovers. I went to meet Dad at home once a week. Lily and Sabrina were so happy to see me coming home more than before. Slowly, we all got busy in life. After two weeks of marriage, I told Evelyn and Aria about my marriage. They were beyond surprised. I told them the circumstances, and they understood my situation. We still have not talked about our marriage to his family. I have not even told it to Xanthus.
I know he will be super mad when I tell him, but for now, I can't. There is a lot on my plate. I have Paris Fashion Week coming in two months, and I'm so busy working on the design. Both me and Erick are a lot busy. He had a new project on his plate, so he came home late and left before I woke up. I barely see him because of how busy he is. He still messages me, asking me if I had my meal on time. He would stay home on Sunday, and the whole day, we would end up fucking each other. He won't let me go even if I beg him. Sunday was a recharge day for him. He makes up for the whole week missing sex on Sunday. These two months went by with us being busy in our lives. Paris Fashion Week was next week, so I was leaving for Paris after two days. I was sitting in the walk-in closet and packing my bag when the door opened, and tired-looking Erick walked in. My brows furrowed looking at him. How was he so early today? It's not even Saturday.
“Why are you packing your bags?” Erick asked with an alert look on his face when he noticed what I was doing.
“I'm shifting to my father's house,” I said with a serious look on my face. I just wanted to tease him about nothing else.
“What!” He exclaimed, walking to me, and then he started to put all the clothes that were in my bag back into the closet.
“You are not going anywhere,” he said in a firm tone while looking straight into my eyes. I exhaled, looking at how my hour-long efforts of folding clothes and neatly arranging them went in vain. I don't know why I even tried to tease him. Before he put all the clothes back, I decided to stop him.
“Erick stop! I'm not going back to my father to relax,” I said while holding his hand, which was about to pick up my clothes. He stilled for a second and looked at me with furrowed brows.
“Then why are you packing your bags?” he asked with the same expression still on his face.
“I'm going to Paris after two days for Paris fashion week,” I told him the reason, and his brows furrowed even more instead of relaxing.
“Why did you tell me before?” he asked in the same tone. He let go of my clothes, though.
“I was busy, so it slipped from my mind. I'm going for two weeks,” I told him while going back to folding my clothes.
“You are going alone,” he asked with his eyes still fixed on me.
“No, Aria is coming with me, and Evelyn will join us last week,” I told him and then placed the neatly folded dress in my bag.
“You are going without me,” he said suddenly, making me stop what I was doing and look at him.
“What?” I asked not to get it when he said that. Am I supposed to take him with me to fashion week?
“Have you forgotten the promise we had made?” he asked suddenly, and my brows furrowed even more.
“What are you talking about?” I asked with furrowed brows, still not getting it.
What promise is he talking about?
“So you forget about it?” He gave me a sad smile, and my heart ached.
“You always wanted to go on a honeymoon to Paris once we got married. We promised each other to go there together,” he said, and then a memory from my past flashed in front of my eyes. A very old memory when I was pregnant. My eyes welled up on their remembering that. I'm not supposed to remember those memories. They bring immense pain with it. I took a deep breath and averted my eyes from his cold blue eyes.
“Sorry to disappoint you. I don't remember it,” I said in a firm tone. I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
“And I'm not taking you,” I said while putting all the clothes randomly in the bag. I looked up straight into his eyes.
“I'm going to work there, not on my honeymoon,” I said firmly before standing and leaving from there. I did my best to control my tears, but I could not anymore. They rolled out freely on my cheeks while I locked myself in the bathroom.
That memory was too painful for me.
