15 days later

Richard Anderson

"Come on, wife, please."

"No"

"You can't do this to me." I mumbled. She shrugged and propelled herself on the couch watching some stupid series.

I huffed and went for a walk along the beach. It's been 15 days since we got married and my lawful wedded wife has not given me a single kiss.

Yes, we got married.

Flash back

After speaking with Liam, Lia was sobbing uncontrollably. Jia and bro tried their best to console her. I was unable to see her so broken. Then again, she had still not agreed to marry me. Viktor was talking to her at some distance and when I tried to go there he glared at me, halting my steps midway. I sat on a chair biting my nails and bouncing my knees for almost 2 years…well it felt that long.

"Get up" Viktor growled at me. I didn't even notice him coming towards me. Why is he angry now? I stood up, not looking at him.

"Come" he pushed me, making me walk until the altar. I was still confused. He went away without saying anything. I glanced back and saw Rashid and Bruce standing there behind me with Stoic face, which didn't suit Rashid at all. Am I seriously getting married? Are they my groomsmen? Before the feelings could sink in, music started playing, and I turned to witness the most beautiful sight ever. Lia was walking down the aisle holding Viktor's hand. I was stunned. STUPEFIED. All my senses felt me, I just stared at her as she stood in front of me wearing a white gown. She was looking beautiful, just like a divine fairy pure and eternal in her wedding dress. My eyes were stuck on her glorious sensual lips that moved a bit.

I didn't realise when priest asked me THE ULTIMATE QUESTION. Rashid patted me hard on my back to get me out of my trance.

"Huh?" I looked at priest dumbfounded.

"Do you Richard Anderson take Giulia Anderson to be your lawful-wedded wife?" He asked, rolling his eyes. I glanced at Lia who was not ready to look at me.

"I..I do... ofcourse I do..." I blabbering grinning. After that, we exchanged the rings. I had to use the same ring that Liam game me, but I will buy new one for her.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride" he declared finally. Hah. I am married to the love of my life. My Lia, my wife. She is my wife...WIFE. OH MY GOD. Lia is my wife. I want to yell it to the whole world.

I moved forward and took hold of Lia waist and leaned to give the first kiss to my wife and to my dismay she moved her face and my lips landed on her cheeks. Before I could say anything or react, she wiggled out of my hold and left.

I went after her in her resort room which was packed with Jia, Saba and Liam's mom who was crying hugging Lia.

"I so wanted you for my daughter Lia, but it’s ok. Your happiness matters the most." She said.

"I am still your daughter..and ...I am so...s..sorry." Lia sobbed.

"Please don't cry, and I hope you have all the happiness of the world. Take care, see you." She left from there and after her Jia and Saba too left, leaving us alone.

I hugged Lia from behind and kissed her hair.
"I am so happy, Wife. We are married. I can't believe it. I thought I lost you forever. Oh, Lia! I love you so much."

"I want to cancel reception if you don't mind" she sighed and turned to face me.

"Ya It's perfectly fine. We will just go home and relax." I assured her holding her both hands.

"I need to pack my stuff... so I will go to my place and get things sorted..." She informed.

"No problem wife, we will get your stuff and get it at mine…I mean our.. "

"No...Jia and Saba are coming over to help." She interjected before I could finish my sentence.

"Okay"

"I will come tomorrow or day after..."

"What?" I was so disheartened. Why she needs so much time to pack.

"All this is not easy for me, Richie. I hope you understand. I need some time alone for myself. I will come when I feel ready." I was not happy to let her go, but I nodded in understanding.

Flash back end

True to her word she came after two days. She had cancelled the honeymoon booking, so I booked a private island for us. It's been days since we got here. I am not leaving this fucking place without consummating my marriage even if I got bankrupt staying here.
It's a beautiful place with white sand and blue vast ocean in front. A small beach house with full amenities sits in the middle of the island. It's amazing like feeling you are disconnected from world. A maintenance team comes every week to restock the supplies.
And even on this most romantic places my wife doesn't even let me touch her.
In her words...It's your punishment for everything you have done to me. Whatever that is!

I reached back at the house and sat on the pool chair watching the sun set in the ocean.

Lia came wearing a white bikini and jumped into the pool. She does this always. Seducing me with tempting outfits on her irresistible body and leaving me to handle my hardness on my own. I huffed and got up to leave.

"You won't join me?" She asked innocently.

I was surprised that she invited me, and before she could change her mind I jumped into water, removing my clothes. I maintained my distance from her, but she tottered towards me with a glint in her eyes.

She was coming close, too close, my breathing got heavy. I took note of her every move. She came and wrapped her arms around my neck. I was stiff, not able to react or encompass the situation. Is she mocking me? Or playing with me. Her body was glistening with the droplets of water and from the setting sun.

"Don't you love me now? "She asked purely, while brushing her nose with mine.

"Don't play with me Wife. My patience is running low." I gripped her hips and pulled her flush to me. The next thing that happened was unexpected by me. She clashed her lips to mine, making me skip a heartbeat and to wonder if she was actually kissing me. I grabbed her face and devoured her lips hungrily. All these days of desperation came pouring out. We parted with lack of oxygen.

"Richie" she whispered with so much love in her eyes that it ached my heart. She loves me so much, and I was a fool all these years to never see it. But now I want to pamper her, love her and treat her.

"Lia...I love you"

"I love yo... " before she could complete I took her lips in mine again, nibbling and sucking them as if they were a drug.

We stayed one more week there, claiming our love in every possible way and at every corner of the house. My love for her was always there as expected, but I was the biggest asshole to with see it.
