Marilyn lied in bed with her back facing Lucas. After he ordered her to bed last night she cried herself to sleep. She didn't think that Lucas would ever get so frustrated with her enough to raise his voice. And frustrated over what? What horrendous acts were happening in the dining room that he wouldn't let her see?

Whatever was going on took until 2 in the morning to handle because that's when Lucas stumbled into bed. His movement woke her from her slumber and she tried to still her body so Lucas would think she was still asleep. She felt him moving around their bedroom. To the closet, the bathroom then finally into bed. He lowered his heavy body under the sheets and had the audacity to reach over to her side of the bed and wrap his arms around her as if he had done nothing wrong. Since she was "sleeping" she let him hold her but when he was fast asleep she shuffled out of his embrace and moved to the farthest end of the bed.

Now, she was hoping she would be able to continue her fake sleeping until he left for work. Unfortuanetely, Lucas came to bed late last night and didn't wake up on time. She looked over at the clock and it read 9:30am. She decided a morning jog would be better to calm her nerves.

She jumped out of bed and didn't care if she woke Lucas in the process. He mumbled and grumbled awake and leaned to her side of the bed. Before he could kiss her on her bare shoulder- like he did every morning- she moved away keeping her shoulder out of reach then stood up out of the bed and walked away.

"Marilyn?" Lucas called.

She ignored his calls and walked over to her closet.

Lucas was very confused and wiped the crust out of his eye so he could see clearly. He threw the blanket off his body and followed Marilyn. He stood in the doorway of Marilyn's walk-in closet.

He hadn't said a word when he approached the door. He just watched her intently as she moved around her closet. She grabbed a pair of gray tights and a white compression tee-shirt. "Going for a jog?" Lucas asked.

Just like she had done earlier she ignored him and carried on about her business. She grabbed the last thing she would need for her jog, a pair of sneakers, and shut the drawers she had opened.

"Marilyn?" Lucas called again.

She didn't answer.

"Marilyn, sweetie? Is something wrong?" She didn't answer again but instead took all her clothes and walked inside the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.

Lucas stood still in the doorway watching the bathroom door confused and a little angry.

No one had ever ignored him.

Luke waited for the elevator with patience. He had just arrived at BEAU Headquarters and was hoping to get some work done on the BEAU Facilities before the afternoon.

The elevators finally opened and Luke stepped in. He pulled out his phone and started checking some emails. He felt someone come into the elevator with him so, without moving his eyes from his phone, he moved to the side of the elevator allowing enough room for more passengers.

"Good Morning." A familiar voice said.

Luke quickly looked up then slowly turned his head to the direction of the voice.
