Chapter 5

Next morning

Alexa woke up feeling stronger and happier than she was every other day. Not waking up to her husband's annoying face sleeping next to her on the bed this morning was enough to make her feel on top of the world.

Alexa stared up at the ceiling, and as memories of the previous day flashed through her mind, she couldn't help the smile that laced up her lips. This was wrong and she knew it, but it wasn't something she could help herself from.

She got rid of the heavy duvet on her body, got off the bed, and dragged herself to the bathroom. Alexa stood in front of the mirror and stared at her reflection. Her bruises were still there to remind her of the beast she got married to, and the only thing she could think of was for Xavier to get into an accident and get paralyzed for the rest of his life. At least he wouldn't be able to beat her again if that should happen.

"That's heartless, Alexa," She said to herself, but it was truly what she wished for since she couldn't wish for death for him.

"Just enjoy yourself for these two days and face his wrath later," She muttered and proceeded to do her usual routine of brushing her teeth and bathing, after she was done, she walked back into the room. She dressed casually and left her room.

As she descended the staircase minutes later, she was welcomed by the sweet aroma coming from the kitchen.

"Where is that coming from?" She mumbled as she strode toward the kitchen, and as she approached the kitchen door, she heard the sound of steaming oil from inside.

"Is there a ghost in here?" That was the last thing she would ever believe, but she had to ask herself because the last time she remembered, they didn't have a cook at home, so who could that be?

She finally pushed the kitchen door open, and her jaw dropped to the ground when she saw Miguel cooking.

"You're here?" Miguel turned to her and smiled heartily at her, but her eyes were fixed on his sexy body. He was wearing just a white singlet on a brief that had his manhood dangling in between his legs. He looked super hot and sexy and Alexa was breathless for a moment.

"Are you ok?" He called Alexa's attention, pulling her back to reality, and she quickly turned her face away.

"Ye...yes... Sorry, I... Never mind... Uhm... I came to get water," She stuttered then rushed to the fridge, pulled it open, and took a bottle of water from there.

"I'm almost done making breakfast. Let's eat together," He uttered when she turned to leave, and she stopped.

"I don't have appetite," She replied to him bluntly then turned to leave again, but he held her back.

"You've been avoiding me since yesterday, Alexa... Did I do something wrong?" Miguel asked with concern as he held her hand.

"No... Let go of me," She yanked his hand off and stepped away from him. After the sex yesterday, she couldn't bring herself to look at him or allow herself anywhere close to him. She was ashamed of herself and at the same time scared she'd do it again.

"Come on, talk to me. Did I do something wrong?" He insisted as he held her hand again, and this time, she just stared back at him wordlessly. Her heart was running a marathon in her chest, her eyes moving in their sockets as she stared into his eyes. As her eyes darted to his lips, she thought of how good it would feel to kiss those lips.

"Alexa..." The way he whispered her name made her abdomen twitch and her pussy didn't fail to express its craving for him.

"Control yourself, Alexa," She scolded herself mentally.

"Alexa... Talk to me, please," He spoke again, and as his lips slowly moved, she found herself getting on her toes and before she could hold herself back, their faces were just inches apart.

"Alexa..." She quickly pulled away from him when he called his name.

"Uhm... I'm sorry... I...I will leave now. Yeah, I will..." He snaked his hand around her waist and pulled her to himself, and as their bodies collided, Alexa became breathless. With her hands on his broad chest, their eyes lock, and her pussy craving her, Alexa thought she was going to lose it at that point.

"I like your hairstyle, but I think it suits you more when it's like this," His husky voice was the sexiest she'd ever heard, and loosing her hair which was packed in two tight buns, leaving it falling freely down her shoulders, had to be the most romantic moment she could ever experience.

"Did you sleep well, hmm?" He hushed as he leaned forward and kissed her, his arms were wrapped around her waist, their bodies grinding against each other and her body could only ask for more.

"Hmm," For a moment, Alexa tried to forget this man was someone forbidden for her, she tried to pretend he wasn't her brother-in-law even with the truth haunting her. She just wanted to enjoy this moment with him while it lasted.

"Should we go have fun today? We could go to the park, cinema, beach, or anywhere. Let's hang out together and spend some time outside this house," He suggested, and her heart lit up in excitement.

"Really?" She beamed with smiles, her eyebrows raised. It had been a long time since she last went out to have fun, and this sounded like a good idea for her.

"Yes," He nodded, and she threw her arms around him excitedly, hugging him like they were couples.

"I will go get dressed," She squeaked excitedly and finally ran out of the kitchen.

Miguel stared at the door, smiling to himself. He had gotten so fucking fond of this lady even though he knew she was married to his brother.

"She's cute," He whispered and his cheeks flushed.

After he was done making breakfast, he dished them on the dining table and went to Alexa's room to call her down for breakfast.

When he arrived at the door, he placed a knock on the door.

"One second," Came Alexa's voice from inside before the door opened minutes later, revealing Alexa who had yet to get nice clothes to wear.

"I thought you were coming to get dressed," He raised his eyebrows as he scanned her with his eyes. She was still wearing the casual dress she had worn earlier.

"I've not been able to get something nice to wear," She said shyly and bit her bottom lip.

"Do you need help?" He asked, and she nodded.

"Come in," She left the door open for him and closed it after he walked inside.

Miguel's jaw dropped to the ground when he saw a few clothes on the bed, and he shook his head. This was lady's thing, actually. They have many clothes in their closets and yet spend hours finding what to wear. Well, in Alexa's case, this was different.

"Where is your closet?" Miguel asked as he turned to face her, and she bit her lip.

"Those are the only clothes I have," She muttered embarrassingly, leaving Miguel stunned.

"Let's have breakfast. We can go out in that," He said, referring to the short casual trousers and top she was wearing.

"This is too casual. We can't go out like this," She shook her head after she checked her outfit out.

"We'll do something about it. Come on, let's leave," He held her hand and dragged her out of the room.

Alexa finally had a good and happy meal after two fucking years of being in hell. She never enjoyed any of the food she ever made because she was never at peace.

Alexa couldn't help but stare at Miguel as he ate slowly, and she wondered why she didn't meet this man earlier. Why she had to fall into the hands of that monster, but in the end, it all seemed to be her fate she could never run from...
