Chapter 6: What Happened to the Heroine?
Helena gritted her teeth. Annoyed because her grandfather interfered in her household matter. If she lived in her grandfather's house, everything would be difficult for her. There was no way she could sleep in separate rooms with Ethan.
However, it would be very suspicious if Helena refused her grandfather's request. Therefore, Helena discussed this matter with Ethan. Ethan took it lightly, he even agreed to sleep on the couch in the room, so he didn't have to sleep in the same bed with Helena.
"Really?" asked Helena in disbelief. After all, living in her grandfather's house would be more challenging than she might think. For Ethan as well since he couldn't behave freely all the time. "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Ethan said steadily, eyes sparkling, reassuring Helena. All that was in Ethan's head right now was the development that he would be sleeping in the same room as Helena. As a man, who doesn't like being in a room with a beautiful woman? His wife! On top of it. If he stayed in Helena's mansion, they would end up in separate rooms. There was no sign that Helena would call him to her chamber anytime soon.
Finally, that very day, the newlyweds moved into Duke Henry's place. They only brought several clothes. Because every once in a while Helena wanted to go back to her residence to be alone. She couldn't bear to see the annoying harmonious relationship between her grandfather and Liana.
Arriving at Duke Henry's house, a warm welcome for the newlyweds was prepared. A delicious dinner was served. Ethan, who was hungry, immediately ate the dish with joy. He almost ignored Helena's order to behave politely in front of the duke.
"This steak is delicious," praised Ethan.
"Liana made it. She is good at cooking. Eat a lot! You will need a lot of energy to carry out your marital duties, right?" stated Duke Henry, chuckling. His eyes stared at Ethan and Helena playfully.
"That's right. I have to keep up with Helena's amazing stamina!" said Ethan jokingly, making Helena choke and cough. A waiter then poured water into her almost empty glass.
"Thank goodness. I was worried that Helena wouldn't be interested in men because she was so cold. When are you two going to have the honeymoon?" asked the duke enthusiastically.
"We're not on our honeymoon. I'm busy working!" Helena answered hastily.
"That's right! We can enjoy it wherever and whenever!" added Ethan corroborating Helena's statement.
Helena blushed even more. Like it or not, Helena still felt annoyed because of Ethan's statement.
Not only Helena who was annoyed. Liana, who was also a virgin and has never even dated a man, was certainly very uncomfortable. Her appetite was gone. She didn't know what to say.
That night, as expected, Helena and Ethan had to share a room. Helena thought she would stay in her usual room. However, the duke gave her a small room with a small bed size too, not to mention the couch. There were even no chairs or tables in the room.
"This is nonsense!" shrieked Helena. The maid beside her felt very frightened. "Why can't I just go to my own room?"
Because of Helena's anger, the house became noisy. Liana and Duke Henry came over.
"Grandfather, this is ridiculous. Why do I have to sleep in such a small room?" protested Helena.
"This is only temporary!" explained Duke Henry with a playful smile.
"But, Grandfather...." Helena still tried to refuse. However, the grandfather's decision was unanimous.
"You must do what I want!" snapped Duke Henry. He then rushed to leave Helena and Ethan because he did not want to argue any longer.
As soon as the duke left, Liana immediately approached Helena and Ethan. "Helena, Ethan, you can have my room. As long as Grandfather doesn't find out, I don't think there will be any problems."
Kind-hearted Liana offered sincerely. However, Helena, who felt proud, hesitated to accept the offer.
"You are very kind, Liana. However, we will just sleep here because we can't do fun things in someone else's room," Ethan refused, seeing Helena's doubt.
Liana's face immediately turned red when she heard Ethan's statement. Her innocence was tainted by things that a virgin shouldn't think about. Her head was full of lewd images.
Helena, who witnessed this, immediately pulled Ethan into the room and locked the door, making Liana even more embarrassed when she heard Ethan's screams and imagined something that should have an R-18 rating when shown on the big screen.
Liana immediately left and returned to the room. She didn't know that Ethan was screaming because of Helena's angry pinches.
"Why do you always say perverted things?" Helena protested in a whisper so no one would hear her scolding. "Can't you act more classy?"
Ethan felt so sorry since he was raised like a commoner. "But, your grandfather looks happy," Ethan protested, raising his hand so Helena wouldn't keep hitting him. However, Helena continued to throw her tantrum and beat him, forcing him to run away.
Helena chased after Ethan but her foot caught in the strap of Ethan's belt which was on the floor and her body swayed forward.
"Aaaaah!"
The woman screamed in fear. However, a moment later, she realized something strange. Instead of falling to the hard floor, she hit Ethan's warm, muscular body.
The scent of masculine perfume wafted through Helena's nostrils. Her left cheek landed on her husband's broad, muscular chest. Her right hand felt his thumping heartbeat.
"Helena, you..."
Ethan could no longer cope with the situation he was in right now. His blood was boiling. How come? This was the first time a woman's body was attached to his, only thin layers of cloth separated them. However, the sensation was simply too great for Ethan to contain himself.
"—stand up! Or I—I will...." Ethan whispered pleadingly because he couldn't hold it anymore.
Suddenly, Helena felt something strange in her lower abdomen. Her brows furrowed, questioning what was going on. Ethan grinned as he closed his eyes. Couldn't hold it anymore. "Sorry! I'm just a normal guy."
"Aaaarrgghh!"
Next, a woman's scream came from the super narrow room. It was loud enough to be heard throughout the mansion. Duke Henry, who faintly heard Helena's screams, laughed out loud, and so did the maids. Only Liana heard it while swallowing hard and wondering.
"Does it hurt? Or is it the other way around?" muttered Liana while continuing to listen to see if there would be any further voices that she would hear.
Dark thoughts began to haunt the innocent girl's mind. Even worse, the image of the man in her mind was her own cousin-in-law.
Liana pulled the blanket up to cover her head. However, the hot thoughts did not immediately disappear. Why did she imagine the charm of a married man? Back then, when Benjamin approached her, she had never felt like this. Why was she now thinking about her cousin's husband? This was so embarrassing.
Liana's tears did not fall. So far, she's always been a good kid. It never occurred to her to touch something that didn't belong to her. However, why since meeting Ethan and seeing the man's close relationship with his grandfather, her mind was always on her cousin's husband.
Liana's heart always beat fast when she saw Ethan. Especially, when Ethan praised her cooking for being so delicious, Liana had mixed feelings. No other man had ever praised her like that except his grandfather.
"Oh, God! This is bad."
