Leon's POV
It had been a week since we arrived here in country Z and I have tried my best to make her feel comfortable though I know I lack a lot, this is the first time I've ever lived with someone so it kind difficult but I try my best to be a better husband to her.
Emilia is peacefully sleeping on the bed here I'm still contemplating what to do should I join her or take the couch?.
She doesn't seem that comfortable around me as if she is always trying to find an escape, and because I don't want to trouble her I chose the couch.
Though it was not as comfortable as the bed I guess I can manage here, but strangely I couldn't sleep maybe because I wasn't used to sleep with someone in the same room.
Back then in country G we used to sleep in separate rooms because the house was big and all but now it different we were in the hotel room that too Dad Alex specifically booked one room with single bed, that cunning man!
Right! Jack had called he said he wanted to talk to me though I know it for my own good but I couldn't help but frown, that was almost close Emily was holding my phone and she seem a bit suspicious, I didn't know what to do but I can't let her know about it at least not now and like this.
So I decided to snatch away my phone
" thank you wifey " I said trying to sound cool about it.
" Hello.." I heard his voice
" speak.." I said coldly with a frown couldn't he wait I said I will meet with him soon.
" just called to remind you of our appointment it urgent so you must come" Jack said calmly he knew me well if he didn't insist I might have not gone to meet him so soon.
But things was different now I could no longer escape it I needed to get treatment though I never took anything he said serious this time I have to if not for me then I have to do it for us.
" okay.." was my short reply before I hung up the call.

The next day
Medical session.
Doctor; " Before we start I want you to tell me the truth and in order to help you I want your honest answer..." Dr Harrison looked at me with serious yet calm expression that had a bit warning in them mostly because I never really take serious my medical sessions in fact I had long stopped attending them, because non of them seem to help me after all
" so are you ready?" He asked professionally.
" I'm ready.." I replied calmly but only I knew how chaotic I felt inside.
" so now let's start with the basic question ... How do you feel right now?" He said as he opened his record book he seem to be writing something before he stopped and looked at me waiting for my answer
" Scared, anxious, guilty and lucky" I answered nonchalantly but enough to make him satisfied because I usually don't reply to any of his questions from the start to the end of sessions.
What was I supposed to say was it going to change anything in fact I never wanted to be there if not for Grandmother insisting me to attend this sessions I could careless what happens but now things are different I want to change I want to get treated so here I was.
" well that is a lot to take in...but if you don't mind can you tell me why do you feel that way... I mean scared, anxious guilty and lucky" He asked again before writing down something.
" I'm scared to lose what we have, anxious because I can't change myself, guilty for not being honest and lucky to have such wonderful partner" I said and it was the truth
" Then why don't you tell the truth?" He asked
" I can't... I'm afraid" I replied and it took a lot of my will to admit such a thing but yes I'm scared, I'm scared to know what she would think about me after knowing the truth. Hearing my reply he nodded before writing down on his book.
" So then tell me honestly why did you decide to marry her despite knowing your condition?" He asked maintaining his calm and professionalism.
" because she is like me" I replied in low voice.
" so it was out of pity?" He asked his face his hands moved to his lap while looking at me.
" pity?...I don't about that but I do know that I don't want her to suffer alone like I did...I want to be there for her and take care of her as much as I could" I replied
" And why would you want to do all that?" He asked curiously but hearing his question made me think why did I really want to do all that for, it definitely not love because back then we hardly knew each other then why?
" Because... because she reminds me of my former self.. and I don't want her to make the same mistakes I did.. I want to help her... because only by doing so.. maybe... just maybe.."
" you will be able to let go of it" He finished what I was not ready to admit and that made me question myself can I real do that let go of my dark past.

Present time
Emilia's POV
It was another weekend and today we decided to stay home Leon had asked all the servants to leave making only the two of us remain with nanny Betty who was living just outside the house
There was her small house living with her grandchildren, Nanny Betty had been raising Leon since he was a little boy teaching him every good thing about him today and she has been taking care of us since we came.
Nanny Betty knew that something was wrong with the two of us but since the both of us didn't seem to be bothered by it who was she to interfere!
" Are you sure you will be fine all by yourselves?" She asked for tenth time before we decided to chase her out of the house giggling happily.
" She can be too persistent sometimes" Leon said after chasing away Nanny Betty.
" Well you gave her no assurance of taking care of us.. come to think of it can you real cook?" Emily asked doubtfully
" Auch! that hurt my pride wifey do you doubt your husband" Leon said dramatically making me laugh out hard
" No my dear husband I just wanted to make sure I don't get an upset stomach that's all"I said as I took an apple biting it mercilessly.
" Emily I told you never eat fruit like that you need to think about your teeth wifey" Leon said before taking the apple and cut it in pieces neatly before handling it to me all the while I kept looking at him with admiration the man who was slowly stealing my heart everyday
" I like it !" I blurted out looking at him seductively.
"What..?" He asked confused
" The way you call my name while whinnying or nag me "I said happily hearing this Leon shook his head probably thinking was I always like this or he was missing something lately I have became talkative hardhead and naughty in front of him, I was no longer that shy and uncomfortable as I was before.
" Besides my teeth are really strong not with all the milk you make me drink every day" I said dramatically making him speechless.
" Still you need to be careful with the way you eat" he finally said after sometime as he was preparing the food
" Yes sir!" I said dramatically again giving him a salute then we both started laughing loud
---------
After everything that happened in country Z the two seem to be very close and comfortable with each other however internally things were quite complicated they did share a room but not the bed, they did give out their heart but not their bodies it has been more than three months since they got married but yet to consummate their marriage and nobody seems to be bothered by that fact
After the food was ready Leon arrange the food in dinner table making a certain person salivate.
" The food looks delicious" she said raising her eyebrows.
" It okay no need to worry about an upset stomach" he said looking at her questionable look.
After tasting few spoon she nodded as she moan in amazement
"mmh! the food is real delicious thank you hubby for taking care of me" she said happily making him smile proudly
As they were at it they heard a phone call
Leon went to received the call still looking at his wife who was doing her best to compose herself from laughing but the change on his face made her aware of unpleasant of the words coming from the other side.
