Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Raymond POV:-

We then went to have dinner. We were sitting and I began to say,

"Violet. We are going shopping tomorrow."

"Nope. You are going"She smiled coldly. Finally, I felt so relieved that my Violet is back. Seeing her that broke pierced my heart. I felt so bad to see her shattered. I cannot see her like this, I can happily bear her hatred and coldness but not her devoid.

"We are going," I said again.

"No." She began to eat her food. Finally, she's back. I felt so relieved.

"We are going to dinner tomorrow."

"Well. Enjoy yourself at dinner tomorrow, " She smiled widely.

I sighed and began to eat my dinner.

The next day I went to her and began to say,

"Violet, We are going."

"Let me think... how about 'No'."

"Be ready in fifteen minutes. Or else I'm gonna carry you to the car, without caring about your form." I glared at her and left.

Violet POV:-

Why do I always have to take care of his highness commands? I cursed a little loudly. I got up as my whole body stiff upon hearing this,

"My, My, Violet... What a foul mouth you have." Oh no. For the first time, I cursed that loudly and he listened to it. I began to race too fast. I swallow the lump in my throat.

I looked at the shelf with my back facing him. What he's gonna do? I couldn't face him. I felt so scared. A shiver went down my spine as goosebumps formed on my skin as I felt his chest pressed against my back. His one hand held my waist firmly, while the other was moving up and down from my shoulders to my hand. His hand held my hand and brought them close to my chest. He leans in and begins to whisper.

"Shall I teach you some manners? Or perhaps you can learn them ?"

"I-I can l-learn them.." I manage to shudder. He hummed on my neck.

"Hmm...is that so? Who's gonna teach you?" That devil.

"I-I can learn them by myself " My legs were shaking. I want to push him.

"Oh no, you possibly can't... I shall teach you..." His words are filled with amusement. How he can fill me with terror now. His lips touch my neck as he began to say,

"Call my name... and I won't do anything..."

"Raymond..." I said without a second thought. He laughed a little,

"Good... Come, quick Violet Raymond Smith...."He then left.

I hate how he called my name. How his name is attached to my name like the plague.

I stood in front of the mirror as the door opened revealing none other than the devil himself. Before I could say or do anything he picked me up and took me. He put me down on the seat and we left.

We entered the mall. I don't wanna shop for him, just that thought made me feel like some gold digger.

We began to shop and the prices are far more than my salary used to be. I looked down as he selected a few dresses. I tried them and he was looking at me with awe. I blushed. After shopping, which was so tiresome. Dress. Shoes. Matching Jewelry, Why do I have to buy jewelry too? The chain of imprisonment called wedding ring isn't enough?.he asked while walking,

"You seem tired. Wanna eat anything?"

"You bet I do." I glared at him. "I am starving like hell." I whined. "Okay..." He chuckled.

We entered the lift, it was filled with people- especially men. He took my hand and took me to a corner and wrapped his arms around me in a protective manner, he pulled me close to him. My heart began to flutter with a sensation I have never felt before. This time his touch wasn't possessive. It was loving and Protective. I looked down and smiled to myself as I wrapped my arms around his subconsciously.

We got out, I still wrapped my arms around his, he then said,

"Violet. It's not that I am complaining. But you can let go now."

I realized that I was clinging to him. I quickly pushed him away. A smirk formed on his face. "Looks like you're enjoying it. Come, I don't mind." he opened his arms to me.

"No thanks." I said, closing my arms at my chest.

He laughed as we went to the food court.

-------

I looked at myself in the mirror. He looked at me with faze, he smiled and said,

"Beautiful... Just like a scarlet rose filled in a garden with wilted flowers...."

This time I didn't look down. I smirked as I put a hand in my waist, I felt kinda used to his comments and said,

"That's it?"

"Oh... you want more?" He smirked and pulled me close to him. He leans in and said in a low tone,

"Oh, love ~ I can even show you more..." Okay, I lost.

I blushed and looked down. He smiled as we left. Ever since that, his action is sometimes filled with affection unlike before. I kinda like it.

At dinner, he held absolute power. Like the one who held it isn't very bearing a dominant presence like him. He is so prideful and Arrogant. I don't know why but I felt so proud looking at him like that. He's Like there's no one better than him. Mr Raven's wife began to say,

"Oh, how decent you are."

"Thanks." I smiled.

"I can't believe that. Of all Women dying for him, he chooses you." She exclaimed. She was trying to make me feel low. To make me feel like I am living a low life. Raymond was about to say something. But I spoke before him. I am Violet. Other than him no one can make me feel Inferior.

"We never recall saying that it's an Arranged Marriage. We both choose each other. There was no such thing as a selection." I smirked. But, Only God knows how it pierced my heart to say it.

"Ah! Yeah. How silly I am. Sorry "She laughed nervously.

"Oh. It's alright... People should know the selection of their words" I taunt with a smile. Her smile faded.

The rest of it was fine. We went home. This is the only time when all of his superior presence was absent as he nuzzled like a baby to him. It's always so cute and funny to watch him like this.

After a while, I felt Raymond removing a strand of my hair away from my face. I pretend to sleep as he began to say,

"I am so lucky to have you. I am so sorry...I never want to hurt you. I hope that you forgive me."His voice was so hurt. He kissed my forehead and shifted back.

After he shifted back I sat up and looked at him. In these months I know that he's a heavy sleeper and isn't gonna wake up because he fell asleep fast.

I run my hands in his hair. I caress his cheeks. I smiled at him. I wish you could be more affectionate. I just don't know what happened. I leaned in and kissed his cheeks and went to sleep too.
