Wrongfully Yours

CHAPTER 4

"Excuse me, are you the new gardener?

We won't have any flowers to bloom in the spring if you continue to trim like that. I wonder who employed you. You are not qualified for this job. Snow muttered while touching the shredded flowers on the ground.

"Good morning, lady, Luca greeted her politely while wondering who the pretty damsel was.

"John, the gardener is sick; I'm just filling in for him. Do you mind?

"Then you have much to learn before our garden looks like a desert when you finish trimming.

"What is your name? I'll put a word to my husband and have him send someone to assist you before you destroy everything here.

"My name is Luca. Are you Bruce's new wife? I couldn't attend the banquet, so I wouldn't know.

"Yes, I am; my name is Snow. Please let me meet you, Luca.

Luca started laughing in such a way that the pruning snipers fell off his hand.

"Why are you laughing so hard? " Snow asked Luca, wondering what was so amusing.

"What kind of cliche name is that? How can your parents name you Snow? You have brown skin and brown hair, though.

It would help if you asked your mom questions; she adopted you. Luca burst into another round of laughter, but this time he noticed Snow was lost in her thoughts and her eyes were red.

"My mom was a fan of fairy tales, and she named me after her favourite character. Sadly, she passed away before I could ask her why she Loved Snow White.

Snow was fighting her Emotions. She hated that memories of her mom brought tears to her eyes each time she tried to talk about her.

"I'm sorry for being insensitive; I didn't mean to bring sadness to your morning.

Seeing Snow's face, Luca felt terrible for acting poorly; it was quiet. They were about to lock eyes when Chef Mario interrupted the moment.

"Ma Snow, your husband wants to see you in his chambers. He turned to leave immediately, but Snow called him back.

"Mario, can you make me green tea, please? My head hurts. And tell Mr. Bruce that I'll be with him in an instant.

"Should I call the doctor?

"No, Mario, you do not have to. It is just a mild headache; green tea will do.

"At your service, Ma, Mario bowed and left.

"Can I call you Snow White? Luca asked sarcastically to light up the moment.

"Silly you, you dare to flirt with your boss's wife. She left Luca and made her way to Bruce's chamber. Luca couldn't stop looking at her as she faded from sight; he felt some connection. But deep down in his heart, he knows he is never supposed to come anywhere close to his father's wife, talkless of generating feelings for her.

"You look so beautiful today, my damsel; I hope you enjoy your meal. I asked Mario to make it specially for you. Mr. Bruce sounded happy while they had dinner at the dining table.

"Here comes my Son, in whom I am well pleased; I am so delighted that I groomed you to follow my path.

Snow's Eyes widened, and a thousand thoughts raced through her mind when she saw Luca sitting opposite her as their eyes locked.

"You tease me too much, father; your wife is beautiful; you chose wisely, I must say. She is an embodiment of beauty itself, a masterpiece of Existence. I hope to get this lucky when it is time for me to choose my bride.

Luca had a fixed gaze on Snow and struggled to break eye contact.

"Snow, my darling, meet my Son Luca; he takes care of my business overseas and is hardly in the mansion. He couldn't make it to the banquet because his flight was delayed.

"Luca is my Adopted child, and I adopted him before he was born. I married his mom a few months after we met; she was pregnant with Luca when I met her. But It was love at first sight, so I didn't mind.

"You raised a fine and well-cultured young man. I'm pleased to meet your Son, Luca.

Dinner was finally over, and Snow retired to the bedroom with her husband, Bruce. All she wanted to do was lie down and think about how Luca was staring at her at dinner.

"I have something for you to wear. It's in your closet, Snow. It is red lingerie I bought from London on my last trip. I want you to wear it and look sexy for me. Bruce was trying to Undress and touch his wife in a sexy and unusually gentle manner.

"I need to rest tonight; my head still hurts. I cannot have s*x with you tonight.

Bruce was furious, dragged her by the hair, and pulled her to the bed, bending her backwards; he tore her underwear with his hands.

"You do not dictate when and when not to touch you; you are my property, and I can use you anytime. Bruce pinned Snow to the bed and forcefully made out with her in a hard way, not minding if she was feeling pleasure or not or if he was hurting her.

All he wanted at that point was to satisfy his s****l urge. Bruce fell asleep when he was done without looking at Snow's face.

"Such strength for an old man, " she muttered as she turned over to the other side of the bed.

She was feeling pain; Bruce handled her roughly, and she felt molested. Is this what she will face for the rest of her life? How will she escape this tragedy of a marriage?

She lay still, ignoring her pain, and tried to control her wild thoughts when she thought about Luca.

She wonders what making out with Luca will be like.
