I went into the dinning room with confidence that was boosted from Anastasia’s advice yesterday, I sat down to the right from Adrian. But my confidence slowly got broken down as I watched my husband and my mother-in-law spoil this girl Misha. I did not know what to do, she was literally sitting at Adrian lap like it was the most common thing to do and that evil dragon was enjoying my misery. Adrian began feeding Misha with strawberries making her giggle, that’s it I got up, “where are you going” Adrian asked. I looked coolly at him “I’m going horse riding” I said “don’t take Thunder” Adrian said, I glared “why?”, “because that horse dangerous”, before I could threw an answer back at him, Misha turned to him, “oh Adrian I would like riding on a horse too” Misha said, she put her arm around Adrian’s neck and looked straight at me with a devilish smile on her plump lips, why that little b***h. “you can’t” I said sharp, Adrian looked angry “of course she can”, “yes Clarissa be nice to her she is your husband’s lover” my mother-in-law said almost happy. I growled angry, but then I remembered Ana’s advice and I shortly though about what I would have done before Adrian, I smiled as sweet as I could. I was not losing another round to this little b***h “oh but I am, sweet Misha” I said “because Adrian have neglected you terrible, you don’t have any proper clothes. And I’m afraid I’m to big so none of my riding clothes would fit your lovely shape”, I grabbed her hands “but don’t worry, that is nothing we can’t fix, we just need a seamstress and then we can all three go riding tomorrow, what do you say to that?”. I looked first at Misha and then Adrian tilting my head with a questioning smile, Adrian looked baffled “yes?”, I smiled “great then I will call Rachel and have her come over to take some measurements of Misha here”. The evil dragon glared angry “why in the world would you use a seamstress when our family have used one if the best tailors in hole Britain for the last 3 generations”. I smiled to her coldly “with all due respect dear mother-in-law, but considering the clothes you brought me from this tailor and how horrible I look in it, I think Rachel is the best choice, she make clothes in the colour that naturally suit you and not colours that is in style or just humble enough for a duchess?”. My mother-in-law was literally huffing and puffing in fury “Adrian are you really letting her talk to me like that”, I turned to my husband “don’t you agree? Misha would look lovely in some of the light spring colours, maybe a green colour that match your eyes”. As I said the last I lightly touch Misha’s forehead, my mother-in-law was literally shaking “ADRIAN!” she yelled, my husband looked at me and opened his mouth, I bent down and kissed his lips, lightly nibbling at his lower lip. “I will go call Rachel, would you bring Misha up so her feet doesn’t have to touch the floor, it’s cold”, with that I hurried outside. “Clarissa don’t you dare ignorer me!” my mother-in-law almost screamed after me, I quickly ran up the stairs and into Adrian’s and my bedroom. I was a bit out of breath and my legs was shaking, I had never acted like that in front of her or in front of Adrian, I laughed feeling quite good about myself. Then I walked over to my phone, I quickly found Rachel’s number and called her, I was a bit nervous because she had been quite angry at my when I choose the family tailor over her. And with good reason Rachel was literally a genius when it came to clothes, she picked up the phone after the third Ring. “Rachel speaking” her voice said in a light ice cold tone, “hello Rachel it’s Claire” I said, she went quiet for a second “oh the traitor is calling after three bloody years”. I made a face in shame “I’m sorry Rachel I really am”, “whatever what do you want”, I drove my foot around the floor “well I was wondering if you would be able to come and make some clothes for a guest of mine”. “you mean your husband’s lover” she said sharply, that gave a sharp sensation in my chest “I can hear Ana have filled you in”, “well you don’t and the answer is no”. I sighed “please Rachel”, “no he is a bastard, I’m not helping him”, I pouted “pretty please you’re helping me not him”, “fine” she snarled. I light up thank goodness, Rachel was a bit gruff and would scold your ear off, but she always helped when you needed it. “fine when shall I come?”, “well in an hour or so, and please if you could take some clothes with you and riding clothes and shoes”. “really Claire you are bloody damn pushing it, now give me some bloody details I need form, height and her hair colour and eyes colour and so on”, I what she needed, and then she growled at me and hung up. I took a look in the mirror that damn dress was ugly on me, but before I could change it, a knock was on the door, I turned “come in”. Erwin came inside he was carrying a tray “I have some pain relief pills for your Grace” I smiled “thank you Erwin”, he put the tray down and walked out I went over to the tray. I had just finished the last of my tea when Adrian walked inside our bedroom with Misha in his arms, I felt a little painful jab in my chest by the sight of them. I put on a smile “that took some time” I said, Adrian glared at me while he put Misha down on our bed, another annoying jab in my chest, bloody heart don’t let it get to you... I thought annoyed. “well someone got my mother so angry she wouldn’t let me go before biting my butt of”, I actually giggled and got up then I gently fondled his butt “oh it seems like you butt came out in one piece, though”. My husband growled and turned around, I smirked at him waiting for him to scold me, instead he grabbed my waist “you did it on purpose”. I blinked “oh? But you must admit I’m right unless you like me in this dress”, I gestures to my black loose dress. My husband frowned and then he kissed my lips and signed against them “no I don’t”, I wriggled my eyebrows “thought so”.
I sat in utter disbelief how in the world did she get his complete devotion that easily, when she looked that ugly!, men and even women was always drawn to me so how could they forget about me!. I gave a soft sobbing sound from me, making them both look at me, “I want a kiss too” I said and pouted while tilting my head, I knew that would make any man come to my side. And correct Adrian let go of that annoying women and was about to walk over to me, but she was faster, she sat beside me on the bed “oh Honey you want a kiss too?”. To my surprise she put her arms around me and kissed my check multiple times, loudly!, she was mocking me... it made the blood rush to my cheeks how dared she, this damn woman! I swear I was going to kill her!.
I got up from the bed Misha looked very angry at me, I gently ruffled her hair and smiled to my husband, he looked puzzled. Then he grabbed my arm and pulled me a bit too brutal out of the room, he closed the door smacked and me against the wall, that hurt. “aw Adrian!” I protested, “what the hell are you up to?” he snarled at me, I raised eyebrows “up to? You brought a lover in I didn’t”, Adrian’s eyes flacked for a second. Then his angry gaze was back “Mother told me you pushed Misha” he growled, I stiffened “oh? And what did Misha say?”. “She didn’t have to say anything, because apparently some of our servants saw you do it and you have been nasty to several of the maids. How dare you do that and even hit them” he said. I looked perplexed at him, I have never touched any of our servants or Misha, “I haven’t done anything to them” I said my voice shaking a bit. Adrian leaned down almost threatening “I don’t believe you”, I smiled bitterly “you believe your mother, you always take her side”. “that’s because you always do something bad, how in the world could you hit my servants”, “I didn’t hit anyone!” I yelled, Adrian just shook his head. “you are getting under surveillance, if I ever hear you have hit someone or as much as said a nasty comment or someone under this room again I will get your horse put down, is that clear?”. His voice was stern and there was not a hint of love in them, I just nodded not even able to bite back at him, tears was already beginning to fall down my cheeks. I turned and walked away from him, how in the world could he believe that lie! I have never touched anyone in this house ever...
