Sold To The Wicked Him

All my life I can get what I want. I am the precious daughter of my family. I live a life like a princess. But life isn’t like a fairy tale. My life had ups and downs too. And I am lucky to have a person who was with me through all those times.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Love? Good morning…”

Whispering to my ears, my husband hugged me on my back. It was but a simple thing he always do when we are alone. But lately, even in front of other people, he didn’t feel shy to hug me like this.

I can’t say that I don’t want this but… it surely makes me embarrassed somehow. Still… how can I say that to him? huh? Tell me, how??

“Good morning love”

I greeted him as I smile. Cooking breakfast for someone you love, I never thought that a time like this would come. I am surely lucky in my life-

“Ouch-”

Jolting, it made Elton be surprised too. I am so clumsy… how could I burn my finger like this? It is so embarrassing. Now is the time that I would look like a good wife. Now is the time that I can show him my good sides… but…

“Aiya? What happened??”

“I am fine its just-”

Carrying me on his arms, isn’t he a bit over reacting about things? I mean… I didn’t hurt my feet or what. I can stand up and walk on my own…

Turning off the stove, he carried me till we reach the table.

“Hey, I told you I am alright… there is no need for-”

“Stay here and I will get some ointment and bandage”

He ordered so calmly. But yeah, he won’t even listen to me.

This guy…

Part of him that I like the most is this. How he cared for me this much… it makes me be reminded of the good old days… those times where we first met.

A trail of joy is surely seen on my face. I will not dare deny that… whenever I think of him, I always have this much joy.

*** Flashback ***

I was sitting alone as I wait for my mother finish her conversation with her friend. No one dare approach me since they are all scared with my father. I am used to it already… after all… it always happens to me.

‘You want some?’

But that day wasn’t like the days I always had. Because for the first time, someone reach out to me. For the first time, someone else than the workers in my house talked to me.

‘You don’t like chips?’

That time, I can’t help but look at him. thinking that, who is this boy? Why did he… why did he talk to me?

‘Can you not talk?’

Giggling, that is what he just asked me.

‘I can’

I mumbled giggling. This is fun… yet… I wonder if he is aware of my father. If he isn’t then… it would be bad if something happens to his family. After all, my father doesn’t like anyone to talk to me and my mother. Even my brother, her bride must be someone father accepts.

‘Do you know who I am?’

I can’t help but utter. It would be much better if he would just leave me alone now than later. If ever father knew about it then, I will never forgive myself in his family’s fall.

‘Yes, aren’t you Aiya? From the Llander family?’

So he did know me. But why would he…

‘Arent you afraid?’

‘Afraid? Of what? is there a snake here?’

‘No that is not what I meant…’

‘Then what else do you mean to say?’

‘My father. Aren’t you afraid of him?’

‘Well, I a m more scared at my father than anyone else’

That was the first time I saw someone as brave as him. He is not scared of my father. Then maybe… maybe…

‘Do you’

Not being able to finish my words, I heard my mother’s voice calling for me.

‘Aiya, dear? Let’s go. Mom is done’

Looking at him, I then look at my mother. Just when I thought I can have friend… maybe that kind of thing isn’t really suited for someone like me. I shouldn’t have hopes after all.

‘Yes, mother’

But when I about to leave with my mom, never did I thought that it was him who would ask me to be his friend.

‘Can we be friends?’

Even my mother was surprised to his words. But only a small smile can be seen forming on her lips. I look at her, not really sure of what I should do. can I answer his words?

‘Go on, he is talking to you. It would be bad to reject someone’s good will’

And with just those words, it is as if a new door was opened for me to have. I never once thought that this day would come. The day when I will be able to have someone… who would be happy by just those simple words.

‘Yes, let’s be friends!’

*** End of Flashback ***

“Here, let me see your burn”

Gently putting an ointment on my hand, I can’t help but let my eyes be locked on this guy.

“Elton”

I mumbled his name. The very name I would never forget no matter what happens. He is… someone who leave a deep mark in me. Someone I am sure that is written not just in my mind but also my heart.

“I just want to say that… I am really lucky to have you”

I can see how his hands started to stop in what he was doing.

Cute

That is what I thought of that moment. But he changed so suddenly. Looking at me, I am now locked on his hands as I was sitting on top of our table.

“What was that for?”

He mumbled making me giggles.

“Its just, I am so lucky to have you. I really am… don’t you think so?”

Kissing my hand, Elton chuckled. What was that for?

“You really don’t know your worth, do you?”

And his lips started to put a trail up to my wrist.

“Elton..”

There was a big smile on his lips. smile that I would be happy if it would last for eternity. So this is what Lea was saying. This feeling that all I want is for his happiness. This feeling of warmth… of hope… hope that he will be the luckiest guy in my world.

“Let’s make a little Elton and Aiya… what do you think?”

Kissing my cheeks as he caress it, why does it not sound so bad?

“Don’t you think Lea and Aiden would love the idea if we also have twins?”

“Silly, as if we have a twins in our bloodline”

“Why don’t we try to know it?”

I can’t help but giggle. So this is his plan all along. Since he is that cute… there is no helping it.

“A twin? You better work hard for it, daddy”

“You also need to work hard, mommy”

…

“Lea, its been a long time”

“Aiya, it is nice to see you again. why didn’t you tell me you would come? I didn’t wake up Lian and Lia. You should have told me sooner, they just got to bed”

Lea’s home is still as nice and cozy as ever. And she also looks stunning as always.

“It is alright, Aielle is also sleeping so it is fine”

“Now that I notice it, so that is the reason why Elton looks so stiff”

We both giggled as I look at my husband. Doing his best not to move in any manner that would wake up our dear daughter. We did plan for a twin but, life isn’t like that. it is not as if we two have twin bloods in our bloodline. But… having a princess as her, it is more than what I hoped for. That little girl is my treasure… no, our treasure.

“Come and get inside. You can put her in Lia’s bed. I am sure she will be surprised once she wakes up with Aielle on h er side”

“That looks so cute, let’s do that. but, Where is Aiden? Stuck in his words again?”

“Well, if you say that being a dad is a job, he surely have so much overtime on his hands. Do you know how he is a talk in his company? Hah, I never know that he have such a cute side”

Smiling at me, I can’t help but resist my laughter. Speaking about the one I was looking for, Aiden is standing behind her. He just got out of their house. And yes, he heard every single thing that Lea said.

“I am sad. Why didn’t you tell me that in my face?”

Love surely change people. And for them… I am happy that love brings out the best in their life.
