The morning sun seeped into the room as Ava drew the curtains, its soft light illuminating her mistress’s peaceful, sleeping face. Harlow stretched her arms and legs, batting her lashes as her eyes slowly adjusted to the bright light.

"Rise and shine it’s a bright new day," Ava said excitedly. The servants haven’t stopped talking about their master’s kind gesture last night. Preparing all those delicious meals without the help of anyone was truly romantic.

"I can see that." Harlow pushed the cover from her body as she stepped out of bed. Her eyes instinctively moved around the space as if searching for someone. Someone who wasn’t in the room at the moment. She quickly frowned, cursing herself inwardly for even thinking about him.

"He’s not worth your time Harlow. It doesn’t matter if he confessed or not."

"Your bathwater is ready, Miss Harlow," Ava said with a sheepish smile, her eyes lingering on her young mistress. It had been so long since she last witnessed Miss Harlow and Master Alanis bickering. To her, this was a good sign. Even if Harlow refused to admit it, she had undoubtedly grown a soft spot for Alanis.

"Thank you," Harlow replied, taking her clothes off before stepping into the tub. She hurriedly sank into the warm water, letting out a soft sigh as the soothing heat wrapped around her body. Closing her eyes, she allowed herself to relax, the warmth sinking deep into her skin. It was pure bliss—one of the most comforting feelings she had experienced in a while.

"Hng," she murmured softly, letting herself drift further into the sensation of calm.

"Enjoying the water, aren’t we?"

Her eyes snapped open at the sound of Alanis’s voice, and she froze. Quickly, she covered her chest with her hands, her cheeks flushing with both embarrassment and anger. Her gaze darted to the doorway, widening as she realized Alanis was standing there, watching her with an all-too-familiar mischievous grin.

"What are you doing in here?" she barked, her voice sharp with both shock and irritation. Her heart raced as she glanced nervously at the door. If Ava were to walk in and see this, it would be a complete disaster. This man. This infuriatingly bold man! Her teeth grazed her lower lip in frustration, trying to figure out how to salvage the situation.

"For someone so tough," Alanis teased, his grin growing wider as he leaned slightly closer, "it’s too little. How are you going to feed our unborn children?"

Her face burned, her cheeks turning more red than before. "You...!" She couldn’t even form the words, her mind spinning as she struggled to process his audacity.

He started walking towards her, his steps purposeful as he approached her. His eyes darted to her parted legs and she quickly closed it. By then, her skin had turned really red in embarrassment.

Alanis squatted to her level, "This is my room too remember? My bathroom which means I can be here whenever I want." He stated the obvious.

Of course, there were no restrictions about the bathroom or bedroom in the agreement they signed.

"You’re shameless..." She spat and he chuckled.

"Of course, shameless is my middle name. Alanis Shameless Hamilton." He read out allowed smiling to himself. Then slowly, he turned his face back to his wife. Harlow’s heart hammered so hard in her chest as if wanting to break free.

She should not be feeling this way. Her heart has no right to beat for this man.

"I came to take you to work my villain, but Ava said you weren’t done preparing and that you needed help, so I came to help." He shrugged.

"I don’t need your help, get the hell out of here." She would kill Ava with her bare hands when she sees her. St

That stupid maid of hers. Harlow clicked her tongue. Alanis walked over to a corner to get a tiny metal, he had dropped it when he had his bath and was back to get it.

This chirp has important information he wants to keep at bail.

He stepped out of the bathroom after retrieving his property and only then did Harlow free herself again. She stepped out of the tub quickly and locked the door as she hurried under the shower. She didn’t want that man walking in here anymore.

Once she was dried, Harlow walked over to her towel, picked it from the stand, and dabbed it around her wet body. Harlow picked her robe at a corner and wrapped her body with it.

As she walked passed the oval-shaped mirror on the wall, she paused, tracing her steps back to stand before the mirror.

She pulled the robe from her shoulders till her breast was exposed. Harlow stared closely at her breast. It was really as small as Alanis had said it was.

That stupid man... Making her feel insecure about having little breasts like it’s her fault she’s this way. This was part of her genes, it’s not like it could magically grow on its own.

She frowned immediately, smacking her head with her hands as she scolded herself for thinking about that man. Whatever he thought of her body was not her business.

Fine, if he thinks her breast isn’t big enough, he could as well, find someone with bigger breasts to be with. At least now she knows he hates something about her. She stared at her reflection. "Stupid you." She said pointing at her reflection.

She should never be affected by that man’s words but here she is.

"Who cares what he thinks, he’s a fool. It’s not like he’s perfect either..." Harlow paused. There must be something bad about that man, right?

Something that makes him imperfect...

Harlow thought it through, but she couldn’t find anything to hold on to. To her, Alanis was perfect. He was everything she had wanted in a man, it’s the reason she had fallen in love with him before.

She shook her head out of her thought. With one last frown, Harlow stepped out of the bathroom and back into the room only to see him seated on the sofa.

Alanis smiled the moment he saw her, his eyes trailed down her body slowly, devouring her with his eyes...
