Chapter 4-Probably a misunderstanding.

"Hey, sis, you love my necklace?" Emilia asked, smiling at Emily. But Emily didn't respond. She was too stunned by the sight of the necklace around Emilia's neck. Nothing seemed right to her. Just then, a group of female guests flocked around Emily, oohing and aahing over her. "Oh my god, Emily, you're so lucky! You managed to snag the wealthiest man in the world!" one of them exclaimed. "I know, right? I'm so jealous!" another guest chimed in. "I wondered what wealthy man must have bought you the most expensive jewelry in the world. Who, tell us?" Emily's eyes went back to Emilia, who was watching her with an innocent smile. But Emily's mind was racing with suspicion. What was going on? Why was Emilia wearing the necklace that Alexander had bought for her? Or probably this was all a misunderstanding. "My boyfriend is a secret," Emilia said with a sly smile. "I don't want another woman trying to seduce him, do I?" The ladies around her nodded in agreement. "Well said," one of them commented. "True, true," another lady chimed in. Emilia felt proud and held her head high. The ladies started asking her more questions. "Emilia, does he have a brother?" one of them asked. "Or maybe a cousin?" another lady suggested. "Can you put in a good word for us?" Emilia smiled, feeling important. "Oh, I will," she said. Then she turned to Emily, who was still lost in thought. "My darling, you seem lost in thoughts," Emilia said, concern etched on her face. "Are you okay?" Emily snapped back to reality. "Yeah, I'm fine," she said, forcing a smile. But inside, Emily was total mess. She couldn't wait for Alex to come back so she could confront him about the necklace. "Are you sure you're okay?" Emilia asked Emily, trying to sound concerned. But before Emily could answer, their father walked up to them. "Happy birthday, Dad!" Emily exclaimed, kissing him on both cheeks. Her father smiled, hugging her tightly. "My dear, when do you plan on bringing your husband home? Your sister is already married." Emilia jumped in, smiling sweetly. "Soon, Dad, but for now, Emily and I have a lot of catching up to do, right, sis?" Emily nodded, forcing a smile. "Yes, that's right." Later that night, Emily lay on their bed, her brown hair spread out on the pillow. All she could think about was Alex placing the necklace on Emilia's neck. She imagined the scene over and over in her head. "Stop thinking about it, Emily," she told herself. "Alex loves you, and when he gets home, he'll explain everything. Everything will be okay." Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door. "Miss, Sir Alexander is back," the maid announced. Emily's heart skipped a beat. She had been waiting for him for nearly three hours and had even cooked his favorite meal. She jumped out of bed and ran to the door anf was welcomed with Alex on a phone call. He gave Emily a quick kiss on the cheek. "Always on the phone," Emily thought to herself. The maid handed Emily Alex's jacket and briefcase as she followed Alex to their room, eager to talk to him. Finally, Alex finished his phone call. "Welcome back, darling," Emily said, trying to kiss him. But Alex was tired. "Sunshine, I'm really exhausted right now," he said. "Later ok?" She was disappointed, but she decided to wait until Alex had showered and was feeling better. Maybe then would be a good time to ask him about the necklace. After a while, Alex came out of the bathroom, changed into his pajamas. "Let's have dinner," Emily said, trying to sound cheerful. "I made your favorite meal." But Alex wasn't interested one bit "That's not necessary, sunshine. I'm not hungry." "But you must be starving after that long flight!" She said surprised. Alex shrugged as he replied "I had something to eat on the way here." Emily knew that Alex was usually careful about what he ate, especially when he was traveling. It was strange that he had eaten something on the way home. "Try just a little bit," Emily encouraged him. "I put a lot of effort into making it, you know." "Another time, sunshine," Alex said, bouncing onto the bed. His words had hurt Emily's feelings. After a while, She felt his hand on her thigh, slowly massaging it under the bed sheets. "You should probably rest, you're exhausted Alex," Emily said, trying to sound upset which Alex ignored and kept touching her. "I can never get tired of wanting to eat up," he said. She blushed a bit on hearing him say that but her mind was so clouded from the whole necklace thing she didn't really care much for sex. "I'm not really in the mood for..." She was about to protest but before she could complete her statement he was already slipping her nightie off. "Alex are you listening?" She asked as she tried to stop him from taking her dress off. "What's the issue?" He asked with a tone that almost seemed irritated. She was bit flustered, she definitely wanted to please her husband but she wasn't in the state of mind to do anything with him. Not untill her doubts were cleared. Not to mention that their last sex was nothing to write home about. He only cared about satisfying himself and ended up leaving her craving more. "Its just that... I'm not in the mood", she said nervously. "Well that's not an issue, I'll get you in the mood," he said sternly as he resumed slipping her dress off. She held his hand and looked him in the eyes. "Will you just listen to me?" She said her tone sounding a bit teary. She had no idea what was going on anymore and with the way he was treating her, it wasn't making things any easier. "If I'm not tired after we're done I'll listen but first..." He said in a commanding tone and with that she let him have his way. He slipped her dress off and kissed her on the neck. He kissed her slowly all the way down there and he kissed her, his lips getting soaked up with her juices. She had never been a fan of getting head but he wouldn't listen even if she told him. She just laid there legs apart letting him do whatever he pleased. After a few flicks of his tongue he began to eat her down there, she felt certain waves of pleasure at intervals but she was more disgusted than excited. He ate her to his satisfaction and then slipped his member inside her. She lay there like a helpless doll as he thrust in and out of her. Nothing at all, she felt nothing as he took his last thrust and filled her up with his seed. With a grunt and an exhausted breathe he fell beside her not even caring to ask if she enjoyed any bit of the love making he had just done. At this point she felt like a sex toy to him, something he could just get off with whenever he was horny at night and the thought hurt her even more. It was another round of passionless sex that she didn't enjoy. Emily waited for a moment, then tried to talk to him. "Um, Alex, I hope you're listening. So what I wanted to talk to you about was..." she started. But before she could continue, Alex's phone rang. "Another call," he said, getting out of bed. "Don't stay up waiting for me, okay? The call might take a while." And with that, he left the room, leaving Emily feeling frustrated and ignored. She was starting to feel like she was just an afterthought to Alex, and it was hurting her more and more.
