After that phone call

Emilia's POV

---------------

After that phone call everything in our lives changed, not in bad way though!, it changed in a way that nothing could shake the strong pillar we built as the starting point of marriage life.

Like Leon said we went back to the old house of the Brown family that was in country Z and where he had spent most of his life,

I was really eager to see how he used to live but Leon was not very happy to return to the house though he didn't say anything I could still see his unusual quietness when we were on our way there.

" Is something wrong?" I asked after noticing his serious face, did he not want me to see his house? I couldn't help but ask myself

" Emily I..it like this, you see my home is not that glorious as where you used to live not as Smith Mansion but it is the safest place for us to live in this City so I hope you won't be that uncomfortable to be there ..but if you will be then I hope you can tell me so I could fix it" Leon said nervously as he took my hands in his, I could see he was really worried about me not liking to live in his house. I couldn't help but feel warmth inside, so the reason he was like that is because he was worried, knowing that my face lit up with a bright smile.

" Hey stop overthinking okay I like it whereever you take me to, as long as we are together I'll like it" I said sincerely only to have him look at me in daze and before I knew it I was in his arms.

Leon had his arms securely around my back and I on his and we got lost in our own comfort,

soon we arrived at the Brown house, despite being old the house was nice and comfortable to live in, the house was out of the busy city about one hour ride and had few houses near it which Leon told me belong to the workers who take care of the house and security and only an old house keeper who had been taking care of Leon since he was a child was allowed to live in the main house, the house was well taken care of, had an electric fence and guards who seem well trained.

when he said there is enough security I didn't know it was to this extreme I was surprised to see there was even guarding dogs! that made me think why did he have so much security for someone like him?, as far as I know Leon was just an artist in country Z and few months ago got to join the family business.

By looking outside the house was good painted with white color and small black dotes that look like a cow fur except the dotes were very small and well designed, there was also a garden in front of the house, very noticeable such that it was the first thing you see right when you enter the gates.

The house had a very lovely environment too bad we were not into the admiration of the view. Getting inside I was greeted by the old house keeper and Leon introduced us.

" Uncle Zed this is Emilia..my wife" Leon said calmly as he put one hand on my waist. Mr Zed was a man in his late fifties or something like early sixties but he looked physically well built despite the gentle look he had one could still tell that he was a well trained man if not for his grey hairs one would think he is younger than his age.

For some reasons the man seem be shocked about the news he looked at me for sometime and Leon's hand that was on my waist for a brief but I could still see the shock which immediately disappeared not with Leon's serious gaze on him as if silently telling him not ask anything else.

" Madam ...it nice to finally meet you" Mr Zed said with a bow humbly welcoming us inside, just then an old woman came she seem to be complaining something to Leon until she saw me.

" young Master how have you been, I was so worried about you ever since you left I couldn't contact you ...old madam has told me that you...."

She seem to notice my presence after a long speech and Leon seem very patient with her

" Nanny Betty your Leon is fine and today I have come with someone.." Leon said with bright smile before he reached out to the old woman's hands who was still surprised to see me.

" young Master this is...." Nanny Betty asked her eyes sparkling in anticipation for a positive response.

" This is my wife Emilia" Leon said softly to the old woman's excited expression.

" my lord you really got married I thought old madam was pulling my leg...good good child.." Nanny Betty said with a smile before reaching out to me and Leon gestured it was okay.

So allowed her to take my hands, the old woman seem very emotional and happy following her, she made me sit on the couch and Leon followed sitting right beside her so she was sitting between us.

Right then she ordered a servant to bring a box wrapped in a gold piece of cloth her trembling old hands pass the box to me.

" Take this my child I know it nothing much but please accept it as a wedding gift,.." she said a bit emotional that I didn't know what to say.

She took Leon's right hand and joined it with mine resting our hands on hers.

" I know things might not have been very comfortable with you two.. old madam told me what happened but I just hope you two can learn to love each other and be each other's strength.." she said still holding our hands right then she turn to look at me.

" my child I hope you will forever be with my Leon..you see he has been through a lot and had no one by his side ...so I hope you will be that person who will accompany him in this lifetime" Nanny Betty said emotionally caressing my hand

this scene seem so familiar only back then it was my father making that request to him and what did he say... my eyes travelled to Leon who seem to quietly listen to our conversation more like anticipating my reply.

" Yes I will always be by his side I promise" I said my eyes meeting his right then he seem glad.

That was my promise and something I would gladly do despite everything that was still uncovered about us, at least that was one thing I was sure about, I want to be with him no matter what happens.

both of us become extremely busy the following days, maybe we did that to avoid each other or maybe because we had so many things in hand.

Before I forget that doctor!.. l have heard about him he was actually my senior during my medical studies but he was in a different department he was a phycologist.

I met Sara she is my doctor she was also a friend of Dr Harrison she told me an interesting story about a patient it was part of my medical session for positive changes

she didn't tell me the patient's details but she also told me to keep it a secret as a very powerful family was backing up the patient.

I couldn't believe what I heard for the first time I thought my problems was nothing compared to that person yet still survived and was cheerful living compare to me who was still stuck in my agony.

Three months passed in blue all this time our lives has become like a school timetable wake up at four exercise together take shower get prepared eat breakfast go to office together Leon would sometimes take me to the hospital fetch me to have lunch we would be working till six going home together.

Nothing seems to change and neither of us was paying attention to our boring life we did do the same same thing everyday, we even repeat our last conversation without thinking about it, l must admit we were a perfect couple without a flaw, Dad had called us a few times saying he missed us more like he missed Leon anyway I stopped caring about it.

On weekends we did meet Leon's friends go to picnic or our adventure to country Z but usually we did skip the latter to avoid unnecessary awkward events.

This time we decided to stay home Leon had asked all the servants to leave making only the two of us and 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, she has been taking care of us since we came.

Nanny Betty knew that something was wrong with the two of us but since we both didn't seem to be bothered by it who was she to interfere.
