Chapter 31: Plan
Later on, I went back for a bath, and thank goodness he wasn’t there. The shocking realization still struck me. We shared a bathhouse and I had no idea until now, I guess our timing just met at a really bad time.
I was still flushed about what happened and more the idea of him almost seeing me completely naked, and what’s worse I can’t get the image of his backside off my head, it was like an imprint to my brain I couldn’t remove.
The sinful feeling I felt when he touched my waist, I wanted him to touch me more, I wanted it so bad that I couldn’t recognize myself anymore.
I should snap out of it, I shouldn’t be feeling this way for this man, he was dangerous just like Cora said, he had tried to get rid of me once, he could do it again.
I frowned at my look in the mirror. It’s high time I snapped out of this lustful feeling towards him. For all I knew he could be playing me, I shouldn’t believe his words or any mysterious affections he showed.
I should start using my head instead of my instinct, I should start heeding Cora’s words, but can I trust what she said? I shook my head, I should because Cedric has already proven how dangerous he can be when he tried to get rid of me just a few days after our marriage.
Olivia was done setting my grown, it was an empire waist yellow gown, sleeveless, along with a white see through Kimono jacket designed with yellow flowers. My silver hair is packed but some let down to fall in curls.
I had to think of something to stay clear of Cedric... What should I do though? There was no way a wife could stay away from her husband in the Empire, especially newly wedded, I should think of something, there should be a way and then a thought found me.
That’s it! Cedric mentioned once about having separate chambers after one month of marriage, it was allowed in the Empire. If I can just find a way to hasten that process, yes that should do the trick.
And Mother was gonna be the key in making this work if I can just convince her but first I had to find out if she knew about what happened in the Eternal Garden.
