Married To A Powerful Domineering Billionaire

Chapter 17: A New Development



A New Development

“Rayne dock!” He screamed and dragged me into his body. The force of his pull made my head spin and I blacked out.

I blinked my eyes open and the first thing I noticed was the alluring radiance of my favorite color. I looked around and noticed the slightly familiar items all around and I realized I was in my room at Eric’s house. I tried to get up m, but it felt difficult. My head ached and I felt dizzy. I shut my eyes back close, allowing my brain time to register that I was fully awake. Then I opened them again and heard my door creak open, and Elaina walked in wearing a worried expression.

“Oh my goodness, Rayne, you’re awake.” She said, hurrying toward me and I couldn’t help but wonder what had happened. Like an awakening, Eric’s light chuckle rang in my head, then his scream of panic came afterward. Like that, all the memories came all at once, flooding my head, and reawakening the headache I had been trying to control.

Elaina took my hand in hers and smiled and smiled at me.

“What happened?” I asked and saw her wipe a tear I hadn’t noticed was there from the corners of her eyes.

“Your car was attacked. We don’t know who the attackers were yet.”

I looked around searching for something, someone rather.

“Where is Eric?” I asked. At the time, I couldn’t understand why I had suddenly asked about him, but it was probably because of the images my memory kept replaying to me. The fear in his tone when he had screamed my name and asked me to dock, and the way he had grabbed me into his body shielded me with his broad body. He had saved me, and I didn’t know in what condition he was in, so it was okay to be worried. I needed to make sure he was alright.

“He’s out to take care of some business, don’t worry, he’s alright,” Elaina assured me, and only then did my heart calm down. “Stay in bed, I’d ask the maids to make you a bowl of soup for your headache.”

“Okay,” I murmured amid my drumming head. Elaina smiled at me before walking away. When she returned, she helped me get up and after eating, we both talked for a little while before I fell asleep.

****Morning***

I blinked my eyes open and a sudden ray of light flashed through my eyes, and I groaned as a headache hit me, but I still tried to get out of bed.

“Lie back.” I heard a familiar voice say. I jerked my eyes in the direction where the voice came from and there, close to the wardrobe in-between open doors, Eric was standing, going through the wardrobe. I stared at his back, confused at what he was doing. He closed the wardrobe door and strolled to the couch. He put down a purple-colored material on the chair and then walked back toward me on the bed. He ran his eyes over me, from head to foot as if accessing me. Then, his face suddenly lit up with a smile.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Morning Wife.”

“Good morning,” I replied, avoiding his eyes. But I could still feel his gaze on me and it made my cheeks burn.

He put his hands down on the bed next to me and leaned onto my level on the bed. My heart started to race at his closeness and I made sure to not meet his eyes.

“How are you, do you feel pain anywhere?”

My head was still hurting, although slightly, but I didn’t tell him that. I should be the one asking if anything happened to him considering that he had saved me. If there had been an incoming danger meant for me, he would have taken it. I wanted to ask if he was hurt from trying to save me, but I couldn’t because of my stupid shyness. I shook my head and said ‘no’ to him.

“That’s a relief.” He said and bent even lower into me. My heart race increased, and my nervousness tripled. I thought he was going to kiss me, but before I knew what was happening, he lifted me off of the bed as if I weighed nothing.

“It’s time to have your bath, wife.”

My eyes bulged out. He wasn’t going to bathe me, was he? As he carried me toward the bathroom, he suddenly put me down by the door. “Go have your bath.” He said and pushed open the bathroom door for me. It was a relief that he didn’t attempt to bathe me. An image of him doing that flashed in my head and a shade of pink crept up my cheeks. That would be the most embarrassing thing to happen to me.

Looking at the jacuzzi, my eyes lit up in excitement. It was just like a pool in the room. A private pool. I filled it with water and then after undressing, I slid into the pool. I stared around at the bathroom which still felt strange to me. It still was difficult coming to terms with the fact that I had a new home now, and that too in the house of a strange man to whom I was now married to. I missed my apartment, I missed being in my own bed, and the talks with Sarah. I missed a lot of things, but for the first time since I met him, I didn’t cry. I simply smiled. I didn’t know the man yet, but for some reason, I felt a sense of safety with him. It was a feeling I hadn’t felt in a while.

I wrapped my arms around my knees, embracing myself in my own warmth and that of the water around me. In the near future, this house was going to feel like home to me, and I wouldn’t want to leave anymore, but at the time, I didn’t know it yet
