68 Chapter 56

Angelica had the most confusing night. As usual, she asked herself a ton of questions. Why did he act that way? It was unusual. And what did he mean by he wanted her willing? Also the look in his eyes. She had never seen him look at her like that before? Could she be mistaken? Could the benefits perhaps be that he wanted her to do her wifely duties? 

Her heart stopped then it felt like it was going to burst and all these thoughts made her stay awake the whole night. In the morning when she looked herself in the mirror she was frightened by her own reflection. 

Oh Lord, help her. 

A knock on the door made her almost jump out of her skin. He was here? What did he want now? 

She kept staring at the door in horror instead of answering. Another knock and she wanted to hide. Run! 

"Come in." She said grimacing.
