Marriage or hell?

Chapter 4

He took a deep breath remembering were he was and what he was about to do. He stared at his wife's closed  eyes brows twitching in anticipation, her smooth flawless face stopping on her quivering lips. He leaned closer gaze on her plump lips gently pressing his lips to hers.

    She gasped at the sparks she felt, she tried moving away but he held on, seeing the confusion in her eyes he decided to have mercy on her pressing a chaste kiss to her lips he realised her and rested his chin on her head, his arms still wrapped around her not wanting to spoil the moment.

   ''Adriana" he said voice deep and husky, only made poor Adriana feel strange things in her Body. " My aunt or any of my family especially Lucifer must not know the truth of our relationship, we're going to pretend we love each other" he said arms still wrapped around Adriana.
 
  " And please stay clear of Lucifer he maybe family but his no good stay away" he said his voice deep dripping icicles eyes so cold at the mention of Lucifer's name.

   Adriana wondered if the same man gazing at her with a hint of warmth in his eyes a moment ago is the same man with ice in his eyes that could freeze the whole New York city. Deciding its best to heed his warning and play the part of the good loving wife.

  She had turned away from him after giving him a nod, but he stopped her once again.

       " One more thing" he said watching her raise her brows at him in question.

    " We would be sharing a bed"

     "What!!!"

       She shrieked not believing her eats.

   " To make it believable we're loving couples we have to show a little public affection, and sleep in the same room and do stuff others do while they're here, its necessary don't you think?"

  Leo noticed the way her pretty face turned into a scowl before she nodded in agreement. They head into the house hand in hand ,smile on their faces.
 
      " Oh there you are I was beginning to get worried"

    Aunt Leyla said giving Adriana a hug, then she turned to Leocadio and pulled him for a hug but not before she pinched his cheeks complaining about him leaving her alone and lonely.

     Leo sat with Adriana by his side under his aunt's calculating gaze.
His siblings were in the guest room getting ready for dinner, while his aunt was busy trying to assess them to know if Adriana truly is good enough for him.

   He knew the look on her face it was the same look he had giving his sisters husbands except his were very cold unlike hers.

   

    Adriana's pov

     Ya Allah !!!  If I didn't know my husband I would have thought he did love me, but sadly I know he doesn't at least not yet.

     His sisters were reliving some old childhood memories that were so funny but sounded awfully familiar, especially the part about a girl that always got on my husbands nerves, they said the two were really close but couldn't stand each other for long.

    The story reminded me of a friend I once had, our relationship was like that of tom and jerry but we cared for each other in our own way.

    I glanced at my husband, and noticed his eyes were colder than usual when his sisters were reliving the memories. His eyes growing colder as she went on his form strung tightly I was scared he might snap.

     He most have been close with that girl like I was with my friend, I wonder what happened to her, where is she? Is she Fernando's mother? Did something awful happen to her too?

   "That was delicious dear''

     " Thank you aunty"
   
     The sound of Aunty's voice snapped me out of my trance. I cleared the dishes with Leocadio' s sisters for help,they asked a lot of questions mostly about me and Leocadio.

   " So is there a bun in the oven yet?"

  Fatima the blunter of the two asked. At first I just stared at her not grasping the meaning of her question, then it heated me and I blushed beetroot red at the thought of the events that would lead to a baby.

  The two sisters laughed at my expense while I blushed even harder.

   " Mom will you please come with me?"

    Fernando asked saving me from more embarrassment, taking that as a chance to escape I followed him back to his room.
 
    After tucking him in bed and reading a bedtime story, he fell asleep. So I closed the book placed it back on the shelf, kissed him goodnight and switched off his light and closed his door silently.

     I smiled on my to my room forgetting about the plan. So I entered my room  turned on the lights and it was empty, well not exactly my things weren't there any more instead they were replaced by Aunty's clothes, she was already in bed, and fast asleep too.

     Well I guess I'll have to face my husband, I sighed turned out light and closed the door quietly, took a deep breath and head for my husband's room were I guess my things ought to be.

      The room was quiet and dark, him strange is he asleep already or is he trying to avoid me. Shrugging it off I head for the closet where my things were carefully arranged. I changed in to a long night gown that probably made me look like I was from the sixteenth century, not that I likes it really, I would prefer an over sized hoodie or shirt and shorts any day to this awful gown but I've got company so I'll have to suck it up.

     I crawled into the bed as quietly as I could moving to the far end of the bed I relaxed thankful I hadn't woken my husband, I said my azkar closed my eyes and willed sleep to take me.

      I stirred and turned unable to sleep very aware of the red blooded male sleeping a little further from me. I turned facing him staring at him, he looked as cute as a kid when his asleep calmed and relaxed.

    The scent of his Cologne strong on his sheets, it smelled like sandal wood, Carmel and male, it was quite relaxing and the scent was quite strong on the pillow. I inhaled the scent not able to get enough of it slowly I felt myself relaxing drifting into the darkness also known as sleep.

      Leocadio opened his eyes to watch his wife sleeping form his eyes landing on her hideous night gown, his eyes widen when she stirred and the sheets fell from her form, allowing him to see the whole hideous gown.

  He frowned wondering what kind of boutique or mall sells something that looked like it belonged in a museum.

      Leocadio left the bed head for his desk on the other side of the room facing the bed. He got to work still not liking the idea of living his family for long. He worked all night long not sleeping a wink, ever since the accident that caused him his parent and friend he hadn't slept at all the doctors said it was normal unless  they saw any effects and they were yet to, well not on less his coldness was counted.

     Leocadio groaned wondering why his aunt had decided to invade his home, did she suspect something was wrong or was she just lonely living alone in that big house. Or maybe she had decided to come investigate his marriage to be sure he wouldn't end up with a woman like Suzy again, though he was sure Adriana was nothing like Suzy at all especially if her hideous gown had a say in the matter, he thought letting his gaze rest on her sleeping form.
