Rayna who had a comfortable sleep after being held in Simon's arm opened her eyes and had a sudden thought and realized something
'I don't know when it started but little by little his every touch made me want him more and now his every move made me like him but it is right to like him ? '
She closed her eyes and focused on his beating heart it made her feel that everything is all right ....
After closing her eyes she didn't know how she fell asleep but when she woke up she was alone and the bed was cold it means he have been gone for a while she called for a maid and started getting ready for today it was still uncomfortable to wear this corset which squeezed her body enough to crush her organs
"I will not wear this "
"...?"
"But you have to wear this" said emma
"No leave it i am not well and this will make me vomit everything "
As you wish madam
she reluctantly put it aside and got her ready
'After the incident Emma became a bit friendly and opened up to me it felt nice ...'
After getting ready she heard James calling from outside the room
''Maadam Can i come in"
"Yes"
"How are you fairing madam it's been a while since i saw you"
" I am fine now and right it's been quite a while
So how do i owe you a visit "
"oh no no madam i just came to know your whereabouts Duke was really worried when he heard you were very ill and came running even though the hunt was still not completed and there was so much snow on the way"
"wait wait wait the duke was worried "
"of course madam he was not just worried but extremely scared too because you weren't waking and almost killed everyone for not taking care of you"
"Are you serious he did all of this for me"
"yes madam but don't tell him that i told you this he might kill me"
"Ok sure i won't say "
Rayna was so shocked that she didn't know what to say
James with a satisfied smile on his face gave his greetings and left as soon as the door closed he gave one crazy smile
Oh my this is great now duke owe me one for helping his love life.
he he he
Rayna sat down on the bed
Thump thump thump her heart was beating so hard that she felt like she has run miles and face was flushed red
'd did he really do that for me although it was a bit much but didn't that mean that he care for me then i am not the only one who feels this way yessssss it means i can like him without being insecure about the future.'
Duke who didn't sleep till rayna wake up now was surrounded with documents
I should complete them before night so that i can meet her . With rapid speed which seemed inhuman he completed files over files
James entered with a broad smile
"what's wrong with you are you happy seeing me work"
"Oh no no it's not like that you will know soon and when you get it plz don't forget that you owe me ok "
"I think i should send you a doctor you are struggling with your mental health "
"That you will see in the time to come"
😌
"now complete your work and go meet ypur wife"
"And now you are ordering me?' you got some guts in you"
"No no how can i !!! i was just saying that she must be waiting for you nothing else"
In the room Rayna who was surprised as well as happy knowing that simon cares for her suddenly had a thought
Even if he cares for me it doesn't mean that he loves me it might be because he find it nice to sleep with me
This made Rayna uneasy
" i don't want to be just his plaything but soon the heroine will arrive and my plan is to leave anyway so i can't fall any deeper in love with him then i already am let's maintain some distance that will be best for him as well as for me ."
