Chapter 6 - Exposed

“War!”  Rosa yelled when she saw his face. She jumped of the bed running straight in his arms.

“Thorn!” Warren tightened his hold on Rosa’s shoulders.  Rosa was so happy that she could burst. She held tight to Warren as if he were to disappear. She couldn’t help the tears rolling down her cheeks.

Warren realised that his closets friend was crying. Her hot tears soaked his thin white tunic. Her hot face buried in his shoulders.  He never witnessed Rosa in this state she was completely breaking down. He held her rubbing her back soothingly. Gently ever so gently. He repeated to himself trying get rid of his anger which was slowly building up.

Warren led Rosa to the bed. He held her face tightly trying to gain some attention as she sobbed heavily. Her face was flustered and looked as if someone had thrown a bucket of water on her.  His heart broke some more looking at her so lost and lonely. What did that monster do to her?

Warren concentrated on his speech. Bile raised up his throat. He swallowed loudly.

“Rosa sweetie what has he done to you?” He asked trembling with anger and fear. He watched her look up into his eyes. He felt his heart sink to his boots. Warren was attempting to get over his shock as he started at a new Rosa.  A vulnerable broken hearted Rosa.  He had hurt her.

Rosa wiped away her tears and stood up. There was no way she would cry over him. She would remain strong until her bags were packed and she was ready to leave.

“I’ll explain tomorrow. I must retire to bed right now, sorry for all this Will I’m so tired and confused, I never meant to make your visit so emotional.” Rosa held Warren once more before he kissed her on the forehead and closed the door to her chambers.

“Where is my WIFE? You useless coward! Have you been to her father’s manor?” Clay stood in front of  his workers as he rumbled with anger.

“Ye-yes Sir I have. Her father said she never came home and he demands a meeting with you as soon as possible. He says that you’re lucky to breathing and that very soon he would change that for you.”

The worker held his lips tight enough that it hurt so that he won’t laugh. He looked at his master who he knew could do a lot more damage to the old man yet the old man was threatening to kill him.

“Get out of my sight. All of you are hopeless cant you track down a woman?” Clay walked out of the door into his study and pulled his beautiful lake black hair out of his head.

Divorce. She wants a divorce. So soon. Had she been that unhappy. Perhaps she went back to her old lover. Perhaps she was out of my life for good.

His last thought twisted emotions in his guts. He’d he really wants he wee wife out of his life.

Of course but after two years.  When I had enough of her body and her.

These words were harsh but it was the truth. Clay needed his wife now hard across the desk.  His blood pumped needed and passion around his body. He snatched a glass of whiskey and drank it down without hesitation. There are more important things he needed to worry about. Like his reputation.

She would cause uproar.  His damn wife was only with him for three months. People would judge and look down a him for losing the diamond of Fairview after a couple of weeks.

He drowned another cup before leaving to give her father a piece of his mind.

He took Trumpet out of the stable and saddled her. He stroked her stomach and her head. The horse leaned into his open palm. He hadn’t seen her since the night before his wedding.
