How frustrating!

"Master, it is good that you are home..." Butler Luther bowed and hurriedly took the coat from the man as soon as he walked into the castle.

"Where is my wife?" Alexandro arched a brow, he looked around but there was no sight of her anywhere. Was she planning to remain coop up in the room forever? He frowned as he thought of this.

"Madam, she... she has gone back into the room" the butler responded.

Alexandro paused and turned around. He threw a look at the butler, "really, she returned to the room already? Did she ask of me?"

"Yes, master" Butler Luther answered with a small nod.

"So she asked of me, huh? I knew it... She must have missed me, right?" He smirked while he stroked his gigantic inner ego.

"This lowly servant cannot tell, master" Butler Luther muttered. It was the first time he saw his master acting so narcissistic. Simply because he heard that his wife asked of him, does that mean that she missed him? If his master found out that the Madam had wanted to get rid of him, what would he do...?

Sigh.

It seems it would be best if he left his master and his wife to build the relationship between the two of them. He must not intrude!

"I think I should satisfy her intentions and appear before her eyes" he chuckled.

"Master..." the butler called and sighed. Although he just promised not to mind the matters of the couple, he could not help himself. He noticed that his madam looked like she had something to talk about with his master when she asked of him before and was quite disappointed that he was not present at that time. It was not bad if he helped give clues to his master about this, right?

"Madam, she— it looks like she has something to discuss with you" Butler Luther voiced as he saw that the man was almost walking away impatiently.

"Oh?" Alexandro raised a brow. She had something to discuss with him? That was nice too, he thought. He picked up his pace and walked upstairs. He reached the door to the room they shared and tried to open the door only to find out that it was locked from the inside.

"She locked the door? Is she trying to lock me out of my room? How daring" He smirked. He turned the doorknob here and there and a few seconds later, the door was unlocked. He sauntered in and closed the door behind him but, she was not found in the room.

His brow raised slightly and he folded his arms across his chest. He heard the sound of rushing waters coming from the direction of the bathroom and he could already guess that she was having her bath. A certain man became excited and the corners of his lips tilted up in amusement. Was he getting a treat of seeing his wife after a bath? How nice!

Lena stepped out of the tub, her fresh white skin oozed out steam as she had just had a hot bath. Her hair was wet and it plastered against her skin. She hummed a tune in delight and picked up a white towel from the rack and wrapped it around her body. The towel was not exactly long but it covered her a bit, her long legs appeared so obvious under the white towel and her glorious D-cup peeked out a little. She did not seem to mind, after all, she was alone in the room and moreover, the door was locked 'safely'. She pushed open the bathroom door and walked out.

"Ah, I feel so refreshed—"

"Wifey, you are out?"

Lena paused, she let her brain boot for a few seconds, and— that deep voice, the teasing intent, and the amusement in the masculine jingles that made one's heart flutter mercilessly! She recognized that familiar voice so well... Wait—

She turned around and he was there, standing right behind her, unnoticed like a spirit, he sent a shiver down her spine. Time ticked and she stared at the smirking man without blinking. Her eyes widened to the size of a saucepan.

"You—you! What the HECK are you doing in my room?!" She yelled as soon as she got her voice back. She was sure she locked the door after she entered the room so, how...

Alexandro's smile deepened revealing his dimple, he lowered his eyes to look into her eyes, and his indecent long lashes cast a shadow on his well-defined face.

"Our room" he corrected her with a brighter smile but she saw no smile, all she could see was red, her head making plans on how to kill the man. How dare he sneak into her room while she was bathing!

"I don't care about whatchamacallit! You just get the hell out of here this instant!" She snapped furiously, she wrapped her arms around her chest to protect her bountiful D-cup that was peeking out of the white towel her body was clad in.

"And... if I don't?" He drawled out intentionally and raised a brow.

"You— you wouldn't dare!" She gasped and took a cautious step back. Argghh! She was so embarrassed at the moment. Aside from the towel that was wrapped around her body, she was practically naked beneath the white cloth and she had a man standing before her. A seductively handsome man who was also her husband! How more frustrating could the day get?!

Alexandro took a step forward, his lips maintained their signature smirk, he looked at her face first and his eyes trailed further down to her milky skin. So tempting and damned daring! Her green orbs darted back and forth as though she was seeking an escape route away from him but, would he ever let her go? No, she was forever bound to him, whether in this life or beyond!

"You...you have to stop, leave now, and let me dress!" She managed to say.

Alexandro heard these words and smiled, "of course..." he drawled and stuck out his tongue making a 'tch' sound.

Suddenly...

He wrapped his arm around her waist and tugged her closer to himself. In another second, he was sitting on the bed and she was sitting on his lap. Everything happened within a twinkle of an eye. She gasped, her eyes widened, and her entire body stiffened. She was sitting on his lap!
