ARTEMISIA

I awoke with a start.

My eyes darted around the room as I tried to recall the reason my heart was thumping fast.

I was aware I had a nightmare. But, just like every other night, I couldn't remember what I had dreamt about.

Sighing, I gripped my phone that was underneath my pillow and checked what the time was.

I noticed it was only a few minutes past 10 which meant, I had slept after lying on the bed and it was only for a few minutes.

"Geez." I groaned whilst rubbing my tummy as it grumbled. I realized I hadn't eaten anything since after the wedding was done today.

I had been thinking of what to do to get me out of the situation I was in, to think about food.

I stepped out of the room to the kitchen which was together with the living room. My hand found the switch on the wall, light flooded into the room as I clicked on it.

My eyes dimmed and I blinked several times be

SIN

I sighed whilst tossing on the bed. Standing up yet again for the umpteenth time tonight, I glanced at the sleeping figure of my wife curled up on the couch.

I grimaced at the term. I doubt if I would get used to seeing her as one.

The blanket she had taken from the wardrobe was wrapped around her small frame and she pulled it up to her face. So, I could only make out only her forehead as the moonlight streamed into the room. I knew I was rude and mean to her since we arrived in my glasshouse, but I didn't care

More so, I don't know why I was acting cold towards her. Because I could remember, no girl not even Adrina, my ex had ever made me feel so bothersome before.

Perhaps, it was her scent. The intoxicating strawberry and grape perfume that she wore.

Even her hair smelt similar because I had caught a whiff of it whilst at the cathedral when I tugged the veil covering her face

ARTEMISIA

I let out a breath and watched Sin walk away from me, towards a room. Also, I was disappointed, he hadn't kissed me as I had thought he would.

Maybe, I was insane to have imagined he would after shoving him the way I did.

Sin looked to be in control than I was. If he hadn't halted, I was sure I would have gripped his face and pressed my lips on his.

"Ugh, crazy thoughts." I groaned, whilst fixing the strap of my dress he had pushed down.

I walked towards the door he had gone into, twisted the knob and peeked before entering the room.

I hesitated at the doorpost whilst gazing around. It was a master bedroom with a large four-poster bed at the end. A mahogany walk-in closet was at the left corner of the room and an exquisite looking vanity was at the side of the bed.

Sin stood in front of the vanity, his back was to me and I blushed as I stared at his unclothed body.

His

My eyes dimmed and I blinked several times before they got accustomed to the brightness.

I gripped one of the handles of the cabinet, opened it
