I Want a Child Not a Wife

Chapter 9- The King's Chamber

" I asked you a question didn't I." He asked as I turned to where he was seated on the sofa with his hands folded, he stood up and the look on his face almost made me step back in fear but I stood my ground refusing to give him the reaction he was looking for.

" And who said I had to answer any question from you?" I challenged as I looked him square in the eyes.

" Suddenly you've become so bold, let's see how bold you are tonight when I am deep inside you and bury my seed in you." He said before he walked away. Okay, what a nice way to remind me of what I was avoiding the whole day.

I placed my hand on my chest to calm myself, my heart was beating so much I was afraid it was going to burst.

" Ma'am." I jumped up as I felt someone touch me.

" Jeez, Rena don't scare me like that."

" Sorry madam, I was just worried, you've been standing there with your hand in your chest and I thought maybe you were in pain." She said and I could clearly see the worry written on her face.

" I'm fine, just bring me something to eat." She nodded as she made her way to do what I asked while I went up the stairs heading up to my room.

I took off my shoes and then the dress I had on as I went into the bathroom to have a bath. As I soaked my body into the hot bath my body relaxed and my mind began to wonder.

I didn't sign that contract to come walk around this house, I knew what I was getting myself into, and the sooner I came to an agreement with myself that whatever Markus planned on doing to me tonight, I couldn't escape it. After all, the main purpose of being here is to give him a child.

After the bath, I settled for a light pink satin gown. My food was already waiting by the bedside table and I didn't waste any more time as I dug into the food. When I finished the food I kept the plate on the bedside table and picked up my phone.

I scrolled through my barely there contact list, at this point in my life I needed someone to talk to, but I didn't have anyone.

I wasn't even sure what I was going to say, I just needed someone to be there to listen to me. I sighed and threw the phone on the bed, it was pointless scrolling through my contacts when I clearly knew there was no one I could call.

I laid on the bed and closed my eyes and my mind was filled with thoughts I didn't know how they managed to sneak inside my mind.

Thoughts of how it would really be to have Markus's hands run through my body, his lips on mine. My breath suddenly quickened and I pilled my eyes open as I jerked up, I felt like someone drowning and was suddenly pulled up. I was drowning in my own thoughts.

What is wrong with me?

I was still wallowing in my thoughts when I heard a knock on my door. I could tell it was Rena, I had already gotten used to the sound of her knocking. " Enter," I said to her and soon enough I heard her twist the door knob and the door came open.

She looked flustered and I raised my brow in question. Clearing her throat, she spoke.
" Uhm ma'am, the boss invites you for dinner." Dinner I wasn't hungry, I had just finished eating not too long ago. I knew I couldn't say no. It would just bring more trouble, something I wanted to avoid.

" Okay," I said as I stood up and followed her towards the door, I didn't need to change, the dress I was wearing was okay. I got downstairs and was heading towards the dining room but Rena stopped me.

" Ma'am, not here, the boss prepared a special room for both of you, it is this way." She said as she pointed to her right, I could see just how romantic all these must look to her, but it was far from it.

She stopped in front of a double door and I was surprised she had the power to push it open. I stepped in and then she closed it behind me. The inside of the room looked like a bed chamber where a king stays, having rich and expensive designs.

I moved further into the room and there he was sitting by the balcony. For a moment I almost believed this was some romantic shit where I have dinner with my man and then he makes love to me all night.

Markus hadn't noticed me or if he had, he didn't show. I moved to him as I made myself comfortable on the chair opposite him, that was when he turned to me. And I couldn't help but shiver from the look in his eyes.

" At least you came, I  thought I would have to drag you here." He smirked and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I wasn't in the mood to argue with him, so I just focused on the food taking little bites as I wasn't hungry.

We didn't say a single thing throughout the meal and this had nothing to do with table manners, but it was a comfortable silence. When we were done, he stood up and placed his hands inside both sides of his pant pocket as he turned to me.

" What would you name my child if it turns out to be a boy or girl?" He suddenly asked I didn't know what warranted him to ask the question, and my heart couldn't help but feel pain when he said "my" and not our. He was reminding me of my place.
But at the same time, he was giving me the privilege of naming the child.

" If it's a boy Alexander would be fine and if it's a girl…." Alexandra" He interrupted me and I couldn't help but smile as I nodded to affirm his word.

He suddenly stopped talking and I looked up to him to see the fire in his eyes.

A fire that would burn me.
