IT WAS A MISTAKE
"MATURE CONTENT"
"It's morning, Mm....and a day off."
Camilla turned over and her hand touched something hard as rock.
She snapped open to analyse and....
"Aaahhhhh !"
Another scream echoed at the same time.
"Aaahhhh !"
And a silence came along with shock.
"Why are you yelling early morning ?"
Ed questioned gasping for air to calm, raking through hair in a careless way.
"What are you doing here ?"
Camilla on high pitch, for the first time anger was visible in her tone as lines formed on her forehead.
"I was performing a dance for you."
He swayed his hips leaning on the bed in a stupid way which caused Camilla to smile. But as usual she suppressed those feelings.
"Oh the fierce lioness came out of her zone !"
He tried hard to give surprising expressions.
"I thought you could only roar but proved me wrong you can show off canines too !"
He leaned and stroke her forehead gently with middle finger.
Camilla composed herself, denying those rising emotions in her body or perhaps heart.
"I asked you something, answer me seriously."
Some horrific images were roaming before her eyes.
Ed decided to tease her more as a punishment of being so bossy. She didn't remember anything due to heavy drunking.
"Actually my love last night..."
Intentionally he trailed off leaning more close to her and Camilla ebbed.
"Last night you wanted me to..."
He playfully ran his finger through her lock. And left the sentence incomplete.
"Ww-what I wanted...what aa-are you saying ?"
Camilla stuttered in nervousness. Clearly knowing that she was drunk last night. Anything could've happened of which she was unsure.
"Camilla you and I..."
Ed again left the sentence in between and placed his one finger on her lips with a playful smirk. Flustered he lowered his head.
"You're too beautiful my wife; every inch !"
And instantly he crept out of bed and rushed towards the washroom giggling.
"Wwhat ?
This is impossible !"
Camilla was left dazed.
"No this isn't honey."
Came his voice from inside.
"No you're lying."
Camilla almost yelled in disbelief.
"I've proof my love."
Ed peeps into the room hiding his body behind the door.
"Ww-what is it ?"
Confused she ran close to him with pleading eyes. She didn't accept him as husband and now they consummated their marriage though it was supposed to end soon.
Ed held her wrist and pulled her in
Pinning to the wall and again with a sparkle in his eyes he chirped playfully.
"Do you really want to see what you did to me last night ?"
Camilla tried to break free from his embrace but strong arms were wrapped around her waistline tightly such closeness was causing her to lose mind. Everything about Ed was drugging her.
"What do you mean by that ?"
She raised her voice maintaining hiding the nervousness.
Ed backed a little and said in a raspy voice.
"You're the one who cling on me yesterday. See."
And he put off his bath robe, a lot of red spots were brightly present on his body starting from neck towards abs and ending on V-line. Camilla covered her mouth with both hands in disbelief and blankly stared at him.
"No-no this can't be happening."
And she pushed him back rudely & stormed out of the washroom as Ed copied.
"Oh don't be shy. It's done now Cam. We've consummated our marriage."
BAMM !
"CONTRACT MARRIAGE !"
Camilla growled as the imprint of her fingers was glowing on his cheek.
Ed pulled her close gulping his anger.
"It was a contract marriage. Now it's not. And you can't escape me Camilla. You're mine now."
He stated the truth and Camilla forgot to struggle as she realized his words.
"I'm going down to see your father. Come in 15 minutes."
This time he was using his power, the rights of a husband. And left the room raking through his hair.
"Hh-how's it possible ?
I can't do this. How dare he ? This can't be happening !"
Something click on her mind as she pulled the white bed cloth and a spot was smeared with something red !
"Blood !
He was telling the truth. No-no this is just a contract marriage. That's it."
Her body got numb but what could be done now, she pushed her weak silhouette towards washroom; turned on the shower and took a bath.
"I've to think of a way now to break this contract without hurting father."
She hugged herself wrapping arms around as water poured down on her face washing everything off, every trace of last night.
Dressed decently she stood in front of the mirror and something popped in her mind which tainted more red to her cheeks.
"Really am I that beautiful ?"
Her heart whispered.
"Cam."
Mr. Hudson called her.
"Never mind."
She shook her head as walked down the staircase.
--------------
"Morning dad. You slept well ?"
She asked when Ed was seated besides him avoiding his stare.
"Yes honey. Quite comfy."
Mr. Hudson chuckled.
"Ah sweety it's my birthday coming. Remember ?"
"Oh great uncle. So what do you want as a gift ?"
Ed intentionally asked him as Camilla glared. Maybe he wanted another chance with her.
"Actually Ed I loved a painting from the latest collection of a famous gallery. I want that as my present."
Mr. Hudson winked at him.
"Why don't you both get it for me today ?"
Sure he planned to buy them both time alone.
"But dad I can buy it on phone, they'll deliver it home. The manager will handle it personally."
Camilla explained not willing to go. She wanted to stay 10 feet away from that man now.
"No Cam we'd go personally as dad want us to go together to bring him that present."
Ed proposed the idea. Which initiated a tingle from her head to toe.
Camilla glared at him but remained quiet as Dad was on his side.
"Okey. Let's go."
And Camilla kissed his father's forehead and they both left.
