Resolution, determination, and strength to protect herself were the things Nevaeh had failed to garner before she was thrust into this hell-loop by her mother. She had told her it would be simple. Impersonate for a while and be replaced was the plan, but she has come to realize it wasn't as simple as that. Now she had to struggle with something more. Something more....intimate and dangerous. Something she hadn't quite experienced before.
Many things she hadn't for once thought about were now the things happening to her —things she couldn't even understand. Things she didn't want to feel were the things she now felt. Things she didn't want to imagine were the thoughts that now flooded her mind.
To be touched and loved by her sister's husband was all she could imagine. To have him hold her, kiss her, and be with her has slowly become the torturous whispers of her mind. She could still hear his whispers in her head like she had been bewitched or something.
The man was walking a temptation. She loses her breath the moment he walks in. When he stared at her with those soulful eyes of his, she could never look away. His touch and whispers melt her away, bringing her to her knees. This wasn't right. It was madness!
Something was undeniably happening to her! She was sure of it. This was her sister's husband! Her sister's! What in the name of all things dishonest and unholy was wrong with her? Her body has now become a traitor, failing her every moment he as much as breaths her way. It has grown a mind of its own.
Never for once has she imagined desiring another man's touch other than Francis. But last night, she had kissed him. But that wasn't just the issue. The problem was, she had liked it. The kiss had been unexpected as he has always teased her with it. It was far different from the one they shared at the altar, but it had crawled down her stomach and tingled her toes. This one had made her yearn for something - for him not to stop.
Dear God! What was happening with her? Why was she fantasizing about her sister's man? Tears stung her eyes as she looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't like the person she was becoming. Nevaeh covered her face in shame of what she had done and what she had been thinking about. She didn't know what to do. According to all her morals, this was wrong. She couldn't lust over her sister's man. What sort of carnality has suddenly possessed her?!
She was being tortured day and night, both by the man she lived with and her secret developing desires. A part of him also taunted her dreams, which was even crueller than the Dale in her reality. The Dale in her dream felt so real, she could swear it was more than a dream. These were all the things she had failed to prepare for.
She couldn't deny what was happening to her anymore; neither could she explain it, but one thing was certain. She had to leave there as soon as possible, even if it meant looking for Elle herself.
Yes! That was what she must do. She must look for Elle by herself. And she knew exactly where to begin her search.
Nevaeh hastily got herself ready. She whipped out a formal attire from the wardrobe - something that screamed the name, Elleanor Steele. She pulled her hair into a neat low bun and smeared her face with a bit of makeup as her sister would. She heaved a satisfied sigh when she saw her look in the mirror. No one would undoubtedly tell she wasn't Elle.
She anxiously walked down the stairs as she thought about informing Dale about her desire to leave the mansion. She wasn't a prisoner, but they were supposedly newlyweds, and telling him she was going to work would be unexpected and unappreciated.
"Going somewhere?" Nevaeh was startled when his voice suddenly echoed into her ear. She was even more shocked to see him standing right in front of her. How was he...
"Elle?" He gently called, jolting her out of her thoughts. He raised a brow as his eyes crawled over her. "Going somewhere?" He asked again, stretching his hand to help her down the stairs. Nevaeh nodded as she stared at his hand, not sure if she should receive it or not. She had promised herself to avoid his touch, but she was supposed to be his 'wife'. So wouldn't it be rude for her to reject his gesture?
Nevaeh bit her lip as she slowly slipped her hand into his, letting her mind not focus on the smoothness of his palm.
"Where do you want to go? I'll take you." He said, making Nevaeh stiffen. Her eyes blinked rapidly as she thought about what to say. He couldn't go with her.
"I...I want to get something from the office, it's important, and you don't have to go with me." She said while she prayed in her heart, he shouldn't insist.
"But you're not..." Dale paused and looked at her again. "Simon will take you." He said, causing her eyes to widen, but Nevaeh quickly regained her composure. Compromise. She had to compromise. It was better to go out with the butler than with Dale.
"Thank you." She forced a small smile at him.
"You don't have to thank me. You're my wife, and it's my sole responsibility to protect you."
'Protect.' Did she need protection? From what?
If there was anything she should be protected from, it was him.
"Be back before twilight, love. The dark is not safe for you." He said as he kissed her head before looking at Simon, who was already approaching them like he was aware of his new task.
Nevaeh was quite startled by his kiss. She couldn't get used to this, and she shouldn't. But him....well, never mind. All she needed was to get Elle back and run away from here.
All she hoped was for Elle to have left a clue of wherever she had run to.
