Chapter 2 Wedding Night

"Knight", Astra shouted, shocked at what she was seeing.

"How could you do this on our wedding night without any shame? she asked him.

Knight faced her sluggishly without bothering to cover himself.

"Well if I can remember perfectly I told you that I don't like you so I can't consider sharing the bed with you, and yet you came to disturb my pleasure time," he said standing up.

"I would like you to excuse the room and Astra," he said standing up.

"You are so shameless, you are having sex with another woman on our wedding night. that makes sense to you, does it?", Astra asked, already close to tears.

"Well I didn't know you cared about my business, this is my life and I can do whatever I wish, you don't need to cry because I had sex, I did, not you so why the hell do you care?" knight asked, smirking.

"Well it became my business the moment you put this ring on my finger I don't care if you sleep around but don't do it near me, I have emotions and feelings too, and the fact that you are doing it on our wedding night is so disappointing, we just have three years together you made sure if it and yet you expect me to watch you sleep around to do it outside not near me", Astra said walking out and slamming the door.

Knight started at the door shocked that a woman just shouted at him and he felt the impact.

"Get out" he shouted at the woman on the bed and watched her with uninterested eyes as she hurried to pack her clothes.

****

Astra woke up feeling tired and sad, since she got married to Knight she has been trying to make the marriage work. She has done all she could but all he did was push her away.

She turned to her side and found him sleeping, his dark hair was scattered on the pillow, his lashes were long for a man, and he was breathtaking.

Then he opened his eyes and she went still, they looked at each other for some time she was lost in his eyes.

"Stop staring and move," he said.

Then she realized she was towering over him, she blushed and moved away.

"I want to talk to you Knight, I don't like this house. It's not peaceful and joyful. We fight every time.

I know we didn't marry willingly but we could make this marriage work for the three years that we are going to be together, Astra said.

"I don't want to have any conversation with you, the only reason I share a room with you is that this is my bedroom and I am used to sleeping in it if you don't like the way the house has been then moved", he said entering the bathroom.

Astra sat on the bed looking at the door of the bathroom, she had tried she thought but this couldn't work.

After Knight went out of the room she decided she was going to look pretty today. Maybe if he saw her as beautiful he would change towards her.

She took her bath and brought out the sexiest gown in her closet, she applied makeup and put on a lot of perfume.

Then she went down the stairs and saw a knight at the table and joined him.

"Where are you going all dressed up ?" he asked slanting a brow

"Nowhere just decided to look pretty", she said

She felt his gaze from her face to her breast which gave the gown freedom to be seen by the eyes.

His eyes lingered on her breast a little before talking the whole of her body.

She pretended to continue eating and noticed that he was staring.

"I would like to be the one to cook", Astra said, coughing.

He looked at her surprised at what he said.

"You want to be the one to cook our food?" he asked.

"Yes I do, I don't do anything again except go to work sometimes and I am used to cooking in my house. It's one of the things I love doing. It's so nice to cook and try different recipes.

She looked up at him and found him smiling slightly.

She smiled back at him and he cleared his throat.

"Do you want to use us to test your cooking skills or you are good?", he asked.

"I am trying, you will know when I cook the food if it is nice or not", Astra said.

"Okay then why don't you cook dinner I will be home in time to eat", Knight said standing up.

Astra went to the market to get the ingredients for her food, she was happy that she was going to be useful in the house.

When she got home it was already past six so she decided to start cooking. She wanted to bake a cake for dessert too.

She changed her clothes into lighter clothes and tied the apron around her waist.

She started cooking, and the chefs asked her if they could help but she declined their offer.

She loved the kitchen it was so big and spacious she had all the ingredients and supplies she needed for the cooking, and it was so convenient.

It took her less time also, she was happy she requested to cook, and it made her feel more at home.

She was almost done with the cooking when Knight came back downstairs looking handsome as always.

She wanted him to like the food so she put in her best.

After going upstairs and showering Knight came to the kitchen.

"Your food is smelling nice", he said looking all refreshed.

His dark hair was hand-combed to the back, his blue eyes were black and shining.

Astra was stunned.

"So what are you cooking?", the knight asked, coming closer to her.

"It's grilled chicken with roasted vegetables, and rice, with cake for dessert, "Astra said, breathing in because he was now dangerously close to her to the extent that she could smell his perfume and shampoo

Then he bent down and licked her checks.

She stood feeling the electricity spread from her cheek to every part of her body and was shocked to the core.

"There was icing on your cheeks," he said looking at her like he wanted to swallow her whole.

"Oh okay, thanks, the food will be ready in a moment.

He nodded and went out of the kitchen.

When Astra was done she served the food and called Knight to join her.

"Well I would have to say you are a good cook", knight said smirking.

"Well thank you, my grandma taught me most of it, he didn't want me near the kitchen he said I should rather study", Astra said.

"Well then he made a mistake because you are not that very fast in assimilating", he said smiling now.

"Funny", Astra said standing up "I want to talk to you Astra", he said turning serious.

"What is it? she asked sitting down.

"I have so many allergies, so I want you to be the one to do the cooking from now on. he said smirking.

"So that's the serious matter", she said rolling my eyes.

"It's very serious, I want quality food so when cooking be careful", he said already laughing

She went to his side while trying to carry his plate. She slipped and fell on his lap.

Then she was lost in his eyes it was beautiful, then she paid attention to the rest of his face he was breathtakingly beautiful

His hair was long and very black, his blue eyes drawing her in

"What did you do to me Astra?"he asked, then he bent and kissed her.
