Capítulo 14: Richard's plan

I bathed Daisy under the shower and carried her back to the room, clad only in a white bathrobe. Occasionally, I stole glances at her; she remained silent with a listless look, as if completely powerless.

"I'm tired. My legs are weak," she said hoarsely.

"You're weak, almost like a lower fighter," I replied casually, placing her on the bed. "After our honeymoon, we'll have a gym schedule together."

"Gym?" she doubted.

"Yeah," I sighed, tying the bathrobe belt around my waist. "I don't want my wife to be weak. I want a wild wife, like a lioness. I want her to be on top of me... I want her to satisfy me, not just me satisfying her."

"That's tiring. I don't want to talk about it. I didn't live just to serve you," she weakly retorted, then rolling over and turning her back to me.

I chose to remain silent, letting Daisy be. I turned to grab the wine on the table and poured it into a beautiful glass. After that, I walked to the window, admiring the night view while sipping my wine.

Suddenly, Irina came to mind, making me imagine that she might be having fun with Ferdinand and secretly following my life with Daisy. Maybe she wanted to laugh at me because, in the end, I had to marry her innocent sister, and she made it a disaster for me.

I took a few more sips of my wine. "No, this is not a disaster for me!"

I turned to look at Daisy, who was huddled under the blanket, making me feel sorry for her because she was exhausted from my constant demands. But, no, I couldn't pity her. She was obligated to satisfy me, love me, and perform her duties as my wife, but that didn't mean I could love her forever. If I couldn't take revenge on Irina, I would take it out on her through Daisy. I would break her heart.

Drett... Drett...

I heard my phone ringing with Miley Cyrus's song, "Angels Like You." I quickly picked it up from the table and saw a call from my mom.

"Hello, Mom?"

"Richard, where is Daisy?" my mom asked on the phone.

I glanced at Daisy. "She's asleep."

"Richard... Mommy can't stop thinking about you both. Mommy begs you... Don't mistreat her just because she's Irina's sister," my mom pleaded. I frowned, not liking to hear my mom beg for Daisy. If I did what she wanted, would it make Daisy happy, and make her family calm while I didn't get what I wanted? No, it wouldn't be that easy!

"Richard..."

"Mom, don't worry. I'm not a devil who will hurt her!" I replied gruffly, unable to hide my annoyance.

"She's an innocent, natural, young girl..."

"I know, Mom. You don't have to worry about her... Look, I even make her happy here. I have to accept it," I said irritably, not liking my mother paying attention to Daisy. "Besides, she's beautiful... She's better than Irina," I added, so my mother wouldn't nag.

"Alright then..."

"I'm going to sleep now," I said, walking towards the bed.

"Okay, Mommy turn off first."

The phone connection was cut off. I threw my phone onto the bed and looked at the other side of the bed, which was stained with Daisy's blood. It was disgusting, but I woke her up to change the bed cover.

"The only way is to sleep very close to her so that I don't get the bloodstain," I said anxiously. I immediately got onto the bed, lying on the edge right behind Daisy.

I fell silent, this was very uncomfortable. I was used to sleeping in a spacious place, but now I had to share a narrow side of the bed with Daisy. Suddenly, she rolled over, almost making me fall, but I quickly pushed her a little toward the middle.

"Richard!"

Daisy turned to me, looking at me with an annoyed expression. "You can sleep on the right side. Don't be like this!"

"There's a bloodstain there. It's disgusting!" I said angrily, then I pushed Daisy to give me more space. "It's better for you to sleep in the middle!"

"I don't want to. It's disgusting!" She rolled back towards me again.

"Then you have to wake up to change the bedcover!"

"I don't want to. I'm tired!"

"Then I'll call the hotel maid," I said, quickly sitting up and reaching for my phone that was near my foot.

Suddenly, Daisy sat up and grabbed my phone. "Don't. Don't call the maid!" She snapped, glaring at me with her bulging eyes.

I shrugged. "Then what?"

"I'll sleep on the couch," Daisy said angrily, about to get off the bed. Reflexively, I grabbed her hand.

"Richard...I'm tired!" she said.

"Stay here and sleep," I said, then I looked at our bed, which might not be too narrow if we slept lying straight or hugging.

"Then where will you sleep?" she asked.

I fell silent, imagining that if tell her that I would hug her, Maybe she would think I wanted to have sex with her, and then she would complain about being tired... I didn't want to argue again tonight.

"Richard...I'm so sleepy," Daisy said, interrupting my thoughts.

"I'll sleep on the couch," I said, immediately getting off the bed. I walked towards the couch with my phone.

I sat on the couch. Daisy immediately lay down with a blanket and hugged a pillow. It looked cute, like a child who always slept with a pillow. Yeah, she was too young for me, and she would be unlucky if she fell in love with me.

My attention shifted to my phone. Several messages came from Chelsea and Davin, then there was one message from my trusted person, Darren.

Darren: Sir, I have found Irina and her boyfriend's residence in Monterrey. Do you want me to do something for them?

I fell silent, rubbing my thin-bearded chin, thinking about what I should do to make Irina and her boyfriend unhappy. In Monterrey, several companies collaborated with my company, which means I could easily ask them not to ever accept Irina or Ferdinand to work there. They must be confused looking for a job and they will never get it... Maybe they will only get low-wage jobs.

Me: We have collaborations with several companies in Monterrey. Make sure they and their branches never accept Ferdinand and Irina. I will give them a bonus if they follow my orders! Do it immediately!

Here's the corrected text:

"I smiled thinly, imagining the difficulties Irina would face. Maybe she would be happy for a while with the man she loves, but I'm sure she still needs money. One day she will come back to me and prostrate herself to ask for a chance to be with me again...

'Why aren't you sleeping?' My attention was diverted to Daisy, who was curled up facing me. I immediately got up from the sofa and approached her casually, thinking of something that would break her heart.

'Maybe I should deceive her with love,' I thought warmly to myself.

"I'll change the bedcover if you want," she said, about to sit down, but I stopped her. "No, it's better for you to rest. I'll sleep next to you," I said.

"But..."

"Come on..." I looked at her with melancholy, caressing her smooth cheek and admiring her naturally beautiful face. ''I'm your husband... it's not a big deal to sleep close to each other. Our bodies have even touched before. What else are you afraid of?"

Daisy just remained silent; I could see the confusion on her face. Hmm, maybe she was confused about my attitude.

"Come on, let's sleep. I'll hug you," I said, lying down and embracing her until our faces met. "This is better."

"You're so weird," Daisy whispered, her eyes gazing at me intensely. I smiled, caressing her smooth cheek.

"What's weird?"

"Sometimes you're mean, sometimes you care about me," she said softly. "Actually, I don't want to hate you... Like... I want to accept this marriage like you want to accept me, I also want to accept you... I don't want to constantly look at you with fear..."

"If that's the case, don't be afraid," I said softly. "I think I can love you."

"Love?"

"Of course..." I smiled. "Husband and wife should love each other."

"But you said I'm your slave, and you also behaved disrespectfully to my father," she said, showing disappointment. "I hate you when I remember how you disappointed my Dad; it makes it difficult for me to believe that we can love each other. It never even crossed my mind."

I sighed, wondering if I should give money to Mr. Bartman to make Daisy love me. This is frustrating. what will I get out of this? Maybe she'll love me and then be destroyed when I leave her? Huh, I'm confused now.

"Okay... no love." Daisy interrupted my thoughts. she was about to turn away from me, but I immediately prevented her. "No... there must be love between us!" I said.

"How can I love a man who doesn't even respect my Dad?" she asked.

"I will keep my promise," I said firmly. "But promise me... you have to learn to love me and accept the fact that you're my wife. We'll learn to understand each other... Help me forget about Irina."

"Really?"

"Yeah... I'm serious," I said, smiling convincingly and caressing her cheek again. "You're beautiful... I like your eyes, your lips, your nose... I like everything about you, except for your glasses."

Daisy smiled, and it was very sweet. This was the first time I saw her smile without any burden, but I shouldn't be captivated; I shouldn't fall in love with her!

'I'll just deceive her, I shouldn't love her!' I said to myself, trying to build up defenses in my heart and mind.
