Chapter 11: Chapter 11

Aria

I woke up and it was still 4 am even I am tired. I won't go back to sleep. I know when I sleep again Lucas will not be on the bed when I woke up.

I want to take care of Lucas. I want to prove that not all girls are the same. I want to show him how a wife can take care of her family and mostly I will try to take away his pain.

I told him that I would help him to reduce the pain he is suffering even though he spat hurtful words at me. I needed to be strong.

I brushed his hair from his face. I decided to get up to change my clothes.

I put my hair into a bun and brushed my teeth.

Changing Luke's diaper in his sleeping state.

I decided to go down to the kitchen. I opened the freezer, getting some ice.

I put the ice on my upper chest. I am thankful it didn't bruise but there was still a slight pain.

"You are awake so early," Ana said from my back, making me jump.

"You startled me," I said my hand was above my chest.

She laughed at me

"I didn't mean to. Good Morning." I smiled at her.

"Good Morning also. "

"You ok? I mean that." She asked, pointing to the ice on my chest.

"Yes, it hurts a little bit." She nodded.

“Did he hurt you? I mean…uhmm… he never hurt a girl physically.” She asked me confusingly with a bit of explaining.

“ I don’t know maybe he just accidentally pushed me.” I shrugged, shaking my head.

I walked over to the fridge and checked the groceries.

"Are you hungry? You want me to cook for you?" I heard her.

I shook my head no.

"I am going to prepare Lucas a breakfast."

"Are you sure? He doesn't eat here as you can see." She said sadly.

"I know, It's not bad to try. Right?" I replied picking up eggs, bacon, and avocado.

"Positive, I'll help you with that." I started to fry the eggs and bacon.

"Ana, can you please put some butter and toast the bread?"

"Sure thing."

After preparing Lucas breakfast. It was already 5 am

"I'll just check them in the bedroom." Ana nodded. I grabbed a glass of warm water.

I entered our room and saw Luke was still asleep while Lucas was sitting on the bed.

"Good Morning," I said, walking over to the bathroom and grabbed some medicine.

I walked over to him.

"Here drink this, to release your headache." I handed him the medicine.

"Are you going to work?" I asked softly.

"Yes." He whispered.

"Go take a shower and I'll wait for you."

"W..."

Before he could say anything to cause an argument. I cut him off.

"Don't argue right now. If you want, we can go outside and start yelling at each other." I said harshly, putting my hand on my hips.

"Don't tell me what to do." I ignored him.

"I will because I am your wife." I retorted.

"In papers only." He spat but I didn't try to defend because he is right.

I walked into the walk-in closet. I chose his suit and tie. He has a lot of suits but I chose a navy blue one.

I told Ana by intercom to prepare coffee for Lucas. After minutes he got out of the bathroom.

"No need to go there. I chose your suit." He raised an eyebrow at me.

I just looked at him blankly.

He didn't have a choice just to wear it.

He was already in his boxers, making me but my bottom lips.

I watched him put on his pants. He really looks sexy.

Tell me I didn't think that. I mentally slap myself.

I stood up.

"Let me take care of you."

"You don't have to. I can take care of myself." He growls. I try not to be affected by him.

I picked up his long-sleeve and helped him put on. He was towering over me the whole time.

I buttoned the buttons. He really smells good; his smells making my mind go crazy.

I got his coat and put it on him.

I looked into his eyes; his blue orbs are looking at me softly, making my legs turned into jelly. I stuck my legs beside the bed for support.

Lastly, the tie, I tiptoed so I can reach his neck and circled the tie around him.

"Did it hurt?" He whispered. I could smell his minty breath making me feel dizzy.

I do feel unwanted.

I looked at him.

"This." He said, touching my upper chest, sending chills down to my spine again and again.

"A little. I already put the ice. Don't worry if you are worrying." I said harshly the last part.

He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as I tied the tie already.

"Luke is asleep. I have prepared your breakfast.“ He looked at me shocked as if he can't believe what I am doing.

"Give Luke your goodbye kiss first before you go down," I ordered him. He didn't think twice anymore and walked over to Luke to kiss his temple, cheeks, and lastly his lips.

"Daddy loves you a lot." He said and a smile formed on my lips hearing him that he loves his son a lot.

We walked down to the dining and the table was prepared. Ana gave me a thumbs up.

"Who prepared this?" He asked taking a slice of egg.

"I did"

"It's good.” I smiled at him. At least he appreciates what I did.

"Do you eat lunch and dinner at work?" I asked hoping he would answer me.

Patience Aria… Patience…

"Sometimes" I nodded. It means he doesn’t eat too much but I am going to change that.

He ate all the food I prepared. He ordered Ana to get his suitcase and car key.

I took a deep breath, gathering myself to ask him.

"Why do you always leave early in the morning?" I asked. This is the time for me to communicate with him.

"I won't see you." He said evidently. I could see that he was annoyed because I am asking a lot of questions.

"Thank you but now you are going to see me often." My challenging voice spoke, faking a smile at him but I earned a huffed.

"I am going." He said coldly. He stood up and grabbed his suitcase that Ana brought.

I walked over to the door following him.

Before he could open the door

.

"Wait." I stopped him and he turned to look at me still annoyed. I wanted to laugh.

I walked over to him and hugged him. I felt him tensed but calm down after seconds.

"Have a nice day. " I murmured and pulled out. I straightened his tie and suit.

"Ok," he said boringly.

He opened the door. I shouted. "I'll wait for you for dinner!" He didn't reply anything and walked out at me.

"I just hope," I muttered under my breath.
