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

'Where are we going?" I asked for the umpteenth time, staring at Sin.

Whether he heard me or not, he didn't act like it. Rather, he went on dragging the luggage he had carried yesterday, including mine. He dumped them at the back of his car and walked to the driver's side.

Since I woke up, I had noticed the change in his demeanour. But, he didn't tell me what was going on with him. Instead, he had been ordering me about to get ready.

'Are you coming in or not?" He asked, turning on the ignition.

'Where are we going?" I asked again.

'You've barely answered any of my questions since morning."

'That is because I got no answer to your questions." He said, nudging the door open for me.

Even though he had no answer to my questions, at least he had the courtesy of opening the car for me.

I slid into the car and let out a sigh.

'You know, it's not nice ignoring questions when

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

My gaze snapped towards her as she twisted in the chair. Her lips parted slightly and she mu
