Chapter 58: Chapter 58

Granny, Fiona, and Stella were surprised Lucas asked them for a favor. It was his first time to ask for one so they promised to put all their best into it promising him wonderful results. He left and went to work.

Audrey was in the sitting room reading a magazine when Stella sat by her side then granny followed by Mrs. Fiona. She stopped what she was doing and looked at them.

" Am I in trouble? Is this about coming home drunk last night? I was simply with my friends. It was a reunion" she explained but they didn't care. She's their future daughter-in-law and it's their responsibility to groom her into a perfect match for Lucas.

" It's unethical for a young lady to drink. Lucas doesn't drink no matter how angry he is. " Said granny holding her hands

" And as his future wife, the public is looking up to you to carry yourself with poise and grace just like every Hamilton. " Voiced Fiona as Audrey swallowed the lump in her throat

They were on a mission to teach her manners which she knew she lacked. Were they going to teach her how to talk like them too? She'd hate that.

" I don't understand". She stuttered

" We're here to make sure you fulfill your duty as his wife and companion," said Stella with emphasis

" As his Future wife, you're obligated to be polite. Virtuous as in no smoking, no swear words, no fighting, no running around, no sneaking into his bedroom at night" said granny giggling.

Didn't they get it wrong? Lucas uses swear words a lot, maybe she sneaks out but that is because he called her saying he couldn't sleep and he's not polite.

" What else? She said feigning indulgence

" I have noticed you can't waltz. All you do is stare at my son's handsome face. It'd still be there when you return home and my God you stepped on his toes a lot. You should learn to interact with the people of the upper class. That's who you are now " lamented Mrs. Fiona as Audrey blushed with embarrassment. They might think she's obsessed with him. It's just her way of loving him.

" Ok. I'll improvise," she said softly hoping they'll leave her now

" One more thing. Your dressing. It should give a noble vibe when you're in public. As a wealthy woman you're in charge" said Stella giving examples on what to wear as the maids lined up in different attires

" I know every clothes look good on you so I recommend these" she stated as Audrey took a look at the maids on different attires in front of her. She smiled as an idea crossed her mind.

" Alright I get it," she said as the trio tsk their tongue in disapproval

" That's not how you say it. You'll say I understand formally" said granny as they engaged in different dialogue to prove their point. She felt frustrated staring at them.

" That's it. Here I made a note on it and a video for you to learn etiquettes" said Mrs. Fiona handing her a video CD and a huge textbook.

" Thanks, I think" she muttered the last part to herself.

" We'll talk about your work another day," they said in unison as she faked a smile trying to comprehend what just happened? Is she getting married to a prince? Lucas is no prince. What's with the whole etiquettes stuff. She has to memorize every passage and learn everything on the CD? She grumbled looking at it but she flipped it since she had no choice but to obey them as long as she's with Lucas.

Speaking of Lucas he might have put them up to it she thought smiling at how she'll deal with him when he returns.

They peeped at her smiling as she flipped the passages. They were certain she'll learn everything. She loves Lucas after all.

Lucas returned from work exhausted. He had a bath and dinner. He asked after Audrey and was told she has eaten. He was surprised she loves eating with him or was it the other way round. He ate and retired to his room.

Moments after he entered his room, Audrey knocked. He beckoned her to come in. She stepped in wearing a laced long jumpsuit like an overall.

Lucas was on the phone with someone. She opened a big book sitting beside him.

" Please, dear. Can you help me with this line? She asked politely sounding like they were old couples.

Lucas looked at the big book in her hands and the overall she put on. Though it hugged her body he didn't like it.

" Please dear," she said again as he wondered what happened to my love all of a sudden. He even prefers the way she calls him Luke.

" Are you an actress now? He asked in oblivion

" No dear, I'm trying to memorize some lines accurately. Would you mind helping me out? She asked as he looked at her irritably as if they switched her.

" Audrey, it's not funny. " He stated finally

" I'm no comedian dear. Help your darling okay? She said coquettishly holding the urge to laugh as Lucas's face darkens from the ancient tongue

" I'm tired. Let's go to bed" he pushed her to the bed lying beside her. She picked the book as he drew her closer looking for a place to touch but they were all clothed wrapped like a Muslim hajib

Audrey was enjoying the show as she thought of a way to torture him More.

' dear, I missed you. Did you miss me? She asked pouting as he kissed her. She snaked her hands down slowly caressing his lower part which didn't take seconds to harden in her hands. He flipped her finding a way to undress her. Which was impossible

" Dear, you don't want me? Should I go to my room? She asked holding the urge to laugh while massaging his lower part.

After much struggling Lucas caught a glimpse of the book and stopped trying to unhook her dress staring at her.

" Dear, you are so strong and hard. Don't you want me? She asked as he glared at her. She couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed running away from him before he tore the dress.

" You were making a fool out of me? He sneered standing up to get her.

" No, I wasn't. your hardness is still peeking out " she laughed running away from him but he chased her using a remote to lock the door.

After much chasing, he caught her and carried her to the bed pinning her down beneath him with her hands sprawled

" Who told you to play such a joke on me? He asked staring at her amused face

" You did. By telling your parents to teach me etiquettes" she laughed

" I didn't say so. What were you saying? Those were wagons. Those words are for an obedient and boring woman" he teased letting her go.

" Are you saying you aren't aware? She raised a brow

" No. At least you learned something from me" he teased raising a brow as well making her laugh that her stomach hurt.

" Your parents are something else" she laughed holding her stomach

" I guess so," he said as she hits him with a pillow.

" Yes! She smiled hitting her target but it came back at her. Oh geez, she wasn't accepting defeat. They kept throwing pillows at each other till they were tired.

" Granny said I sneaked into your room" she announced as they laughed like she was committing a crime

" She's right you know. You do sneak like someone is out to get you" he teased

" That's because a certain someone won't stop calling me in the middle of the night" she slammed back agitated

" You're so cute when angry" he teased poking her cheeks.

" Cute? Am not a pet" she denied but didn't bother as he drew her closer. She kissed his chest.

" You made my day Audrey for that I'll let it slide," he said switching the light off

" And I hate that dress," he said as she giggled holding him to sleep
