CHAPTER 12

"Uhm you want me to be the one to do it and not you?" Leah asked nervously. This was not what she had expected her first time to be like. She thought that the men had to be the one to lead, not her.

"Why? Is there a problem?"He asked.

"Uhm… No I just…"She didn't know what to say to him.

"As expected of an inexperienced girl."He said.

"No, I… I can do it. Just give me a sec, I need to pee first okay?"She asked. Alexander shook his head.

"I don't have time for your games, if you can't do it now then you won't be able to do it. What a waste."He said and he got off the bed and he made his way into his closet. Leah sighed, she hated herself for being a virgin. It was great at first because her dad was proud of her for not going around and sleeping with boys. For him it meant that she was not going to have a baby without getting married, but now she feels like being a virgin is the worst especially in a situation like this one.

She went into the bathroom and she took one and then she wore it. She wanted to take a shower but now she was in no mood for it so she just walked out of the bathroom. She walked back into the bedroom and she found Alexander putting new bedsheets on his bed. Leah just rolled her eyes, she didn't think that he was serious. So now she knew that she had to wake up early in the morning and wash his bed sheets, but she was not going to do that.

The bedsheets that he had told her to wash were now on the couch that she was supposed to sleep on. "If I am going to sleep on the couch then why are your bedsheets on it?"She asked. Alexander stopped what he was doing and he turned around just so he was facing her. He didn't notice her coming out of the bathroom.

"You made them dirty so they are your responsibility now. You can figure out what you should do with them. But I don't want them near me if they are not washed."He said.

"Couldn't you have just put them in your laundry basket or something?"She asked.

"No. They are too dirty to be in MY laundry basket. You can save your energy and use them for tonight… and don't forget to wash my robe too."He said pointing at the robe that she was wearing.

"What? What for?"She asked.

"It's mine, you wore it without my permission so it's now dirty. If you complain even once I'll make you wash the couch that you'll be sleeping on too."He said.

"You can't be serious right now. What did I do to deserve this?"She asked.

"Let me see… You slept on my bed naked, and you covered yourself with my blanket , naked and you wasted my precious time."He said.

"But that isn't fair."She said.

"Stop complaining."He said.

"You know what? I am not going to do this tomorrow, if you feel like your bed sheets are 'dirty' then you can go and wash them yourself." She said. She didn't want him to think that she was weak and take advantage of her.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. Just because you are some wealthy spoiled little brat doesn't mean that you can walk all over me and get away with it. If it weren't for my dad then I wouldn't have married at bitch like you."She said. She was really sick and tired of Alexander treating her like that, she deserved better.

"Did you just call me a bitch?"He asked. Leah could tell that there was nothing but anger in his tone. He was quick to get angry, maybe it's just because he was always angry.

"Yes I just did. Do you have a problem with it? If you do then do something about it."She said. Alexander had no patience at all, he tried but he failed. He pushed her so hard that she hit the wall with the back of her head. She held the back of her head. "Ouch!"She screamed. She had hit the wall hard, it was very painful. He went and he bent down so that he could take a better look at her.

"I just did something about it."He said. Leah was still holding the back of her head. Hitting a wall with your head was not great and Leah was feeling the pain and Alexander was feeling satisfied.

"You are a monster."She said, She was crying.

"Don't worry I am used to being called a monster, so I am not surprised that you did too."He said. She was lucky that she did not hit the wall too hard.

"Why are you so heartless? What if I had hit the wall too hard?" She asked. She got up from the floor, still holding on to the back of the head.

"If you think that I am being heartless now, then you haven't seen anything yet. Anyway I am going to sleep now, I am exhausted. "He said. He got on his bed and he pulled the blanket over his body. Leah shook her head, she didn't understand why he had to choose violence over everything. He could have at least talked without pushing her.

—-------------------------------

The next morning Leah woke up to the sound of birds chirping on the window of the bedroom, and the sunlight striking her face. She rolled over to avoid the sun rays but she fell down on the floor. "Seriously!"She shouted.She had fallen down with her face.

"Why are you so noisy so early in the morning?"Alexander asked. He was still sleeping on his bed.

"I fell, of course I am going to be noisy." She said. She got up from the floor and she sat down on the couch.

"How is your head?"He asked, sitting up straight and he leaned on the headboard with his bed.

"It's not like you care."She said.

"Of course I don't, I was just asking because I don't want my grandmother to see you like that."He said.

"Do you care a lot about your grandmother?"She asked.

"Yes. She's the only person that cares about me. Her well-being comes first."He said.

"Wow, I didn't know that there was someone that you actually cared about."She said.

"Nobody knows. Anyway the bedsheets are waiting for you to wash them."He said pointing at the bedsheets that Leah threw on the ground.

"No, I am not going to do it."She said.

"I am not asking you, I am telling you."He said.

"And I am telling you that I won't do it."She said. She didn't want to be afraid of him anymore. If it meant that she had to at least pretend not to be afraid of him then she was going to do that.
