" This will be your room sir." I glanced back at the smiling old lady who ran the very busy household. She was evidently grey beyond her years, pale with soft wrinkles. Spectacles sat perched on her nose and she dressed modestly with her hair tied into a bun. I then looked at the room. It was like a masterpiece. It glowed with natural light from the large arched windows. The room was bigger than my room back home. But I wouldn't be seeing my old room again... The walls were painted a warm golden bronze my bed at the centre of the right wall. Another door lead to what I'm assuming was the walk in closet and another lead to what I believe must have been the bathrooms. I couldn't believe how detailed and original the furniture was, all in black and charcoal coloured wood. I petted the smooth surface of the bedside cabinet looking back at the smiling lady. " The master requested no less for you sir." I nodded at her, trying to smile without coming across as nervous. It appeared to have worked as she left me quietly to unpack. Oh holy God what had I been forced into. Marry the village psycho my father said. He's important and you can't say no he said. I was so mad at him. If I ever saw him I would spit at him for these poor decisions. It would be a long while till I met with my husband in his home. I'd only met him at the wedding ceremony. We would meet, not even speak and be married right there and then. Didn't help I didn't look my best from having bickered with father all morning. Didn't help future husband was still f*****g hot as ever. And worst of all it didn't help he couldn't keep his eyes off me And yet here I was in the silence of our home. The older Lady, a Japanese woman called Hikari bought in maids to assist in my unpacking and they... Insisted they pack my things away. Another thing... Out of my control. I tensed just watching them fumble around each other but eventually everything went away. My phone lay on my desk and I realised the light was flashing. I had a call? No. Not just a missed call but texts too. " Hello, Light. I hope you can explore the house while I am away... I would like to... Spend time with you later tonight when I return." My heart fluttered. Seriously what was I. Some puppy dog!? I focused back on Hikari. " I..." She smiled " Its fine... I'll help you find whatever you need Sir." I frowned "Uh thank you... I was wondering when does the... When does Nord come home?" She gave me a tight lipped smile " The master said he will try to be back early for your sake. However he does not normally return home till 9pm sir." I nodded at her calmly. She also added quickly " I hope you understand why... But the master does not prefer anyone to call him by name." I swallowed feeling curiosity fill in my mind " But... What am I supposed to call him and why?" She exhaled " You ask too many questions young master. Mr White prefers members of the household to address him by the title sir. Its clean and simple. And that is that." I sighed internally... Wishing I could ask more questions but it seemed she was only willing to avoid talk of the man I was forced to Marry. Nord White. Was he expecting me to be a certain way? Was he gonna force me to change how I am? The day dragged on mercilessly. Filled with boredom. The cinema lounges, the gyms, pools and Jacuzzis, the private chefs, bakers and wine experts. None of it would distract my mind. I was born into luxury but it didn't mean I had this much. I was initially in awe having seen the size of his property but would keep being distracted by the tension in my stomach. " Master Light." I looked towards the door where Hikari made her way inside the yoga lounge. " If you could please come with me Sir. Your husband is on his way." Something fluttered in my chest. Oh God.. Why was I nervous like this. I'd seen him before. Ugh... But I hadn't been able to speak with him yet. If anything I'd been reflecting on his words via his text. I exhaled getting up and following Hikari. " Uh... Ma'am..." " Just Hikari is fine." " Hikari... Uh..." It felt weird calling the older lady by just her first name. " Where are we going?" She chuckled " Sir you are so naïve. Your first night alone with the master. Do you not think it should be special?" It dawned on me. We were married... And I hadn't seen him after the wedding ceremony. So to speak... oh God... I was going to be spending the late hours of my day getting to know my husband but what's more... Really... Getting to know my husband. On entering my bedroom Hikari helped me run through my wardrobe.... She pulled out some clothes and underwear I'd never seen before. I held up a pair of black silk boxer briefs that had a pink ribbon around the elastic. I dropped them instantly. " Uh Hikari..." She resumed pulling out outfits upon outfits. " Yes, sir." " I... Who's clothes are these..." She chuckled still not looking at me. " Yours, sir." I gulped. " And what about the underwear?" She raised her voice in amusement " Sir those are yours... To wear whenever you feel but especially to wear around the master." I couldn't help but growl softly. How demeaning.
