Substitute Wife for the Mafia King R18-Chapter 22: First Morning as His Wife
My biased opinion and judgement of Anthony’s ability and stamina in bed was certainly to blame. I had assumed that just like his mild, easy-going, and warm personality that sleeping with him would feel the same way. The way my pussy ached as I tried to shift my hips on the bed told me that I couldn’t have been more wrong.
My insides felt like a mess after being beaten countless times by such a thick and blunt object. I sat up in bed and pulled the blanket that covered my body to the side to find that I was completely naked. Although I couldn’t see all of myself, I was sure that Anthony had left more than a couple of love marks on my body. Not that I had anything concrete to complain about since I did enjoy myself immensely the night before.
“Hmm? Anthony?” I murmured as I turned my head around.
Anthony was nowhere to be seen. I had expected to wake up next to my husband on our first day as a married couple but that was not to be. A soft self-depreciating laugh left my lips as I reminded myself that I shouldn’t be hoping or expecting too much. Anthony didn’t marry me out of love, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he slept with me last night out of duty to consummate our marriage. Maybe that was what my mother was so scared and worried about that she had to remind me to actually sleep with my groom to make sure that he doesn’t annul our marriage.
We probably did it more than enough for it to count, though.
Where is Anthony?
It wasn’t a weekday, so he probably didn’t leave for work. I swung my legs off the side of the bed while ignoring the slight throbbing pain in my lower abdomen.
The first idea that entered my head was that I should take a quick shower and change into something presentable before going on my search for Anthony. When I reached for my mobile phone, I realized that I didn’t even have his number despite the fact that I had just married him.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the bedroom door. I panicked a little as I grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around my naked form.
Is Anthony back?
“Excuse me...Excuse me!”
The voice that called out to me clearly wasn’t Anthony’s because it belonged to a woman.
“Yes? Wait a moment!” I called out in reply.
With some difficulty walking, I managed to drag the blanket along with me toward the bedroom door. I had already figured out that the woman standing on the other side of the door must be a maid given how polite she sounded.
“Good morning, My Lady. I would like to bid you welcome to this estate. My name is Jenna and I’m the head of the maids here. I guess this is your first time here, I am very honored to welcome you here today. Hopefully, you had a good night’s rest,” the middle-aged housekeeper said politely before showing me a warm smile.
Everything about her reminded me of a stereotypical mother figure. Her hair was tied back in a neat bun on top of her head, and she had a light grey dress on. The vibe about her felt loving and empathetic as if she would help me out with anything that I ask of her. She was everything that my biological mother was not to me. I blinked rapidly to snap me out of my thoughts.
“I see. Thank you...” I replied with a slight nod of my head. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
I did appreciate the hospitality and her goodwill; however, I wasn’t really in a state to introduce myself to anyone even if that person was just the head of the maids.
“These clothes are for you. I hope that you’re at least fine with them, My Lady. Please let me know if you need anything. You can call me or any of the staff all around the clock should you need assistance with anything,” Jenna continued on before offering me another warm smile.
For some reason, I felt that she was so happy to see me. I forced a bright smile to my lips as I nodded my head in acknowledgement. She handed me the hangers and clothes that she had in her hand.
“Thank you,” I replied before showing her a polite smile.
“Oh, I am sorry. Umm...should I fetch someone to help you with your bath and to help you get dressed?” she said with a slightly flustered look on her face when she finally realized that I was standing there with just a blanket wrapped around my naked form.
“Thank you for the offer but I’m good. I’ll...be seeing you later...” I said before letting out a small laugh.
I quickly closed the door before locking it. With my eyes closed, I leaned against the door and let out a long sigh. It felt very peaceful to be alone again so that I could deal with myself. I headed immediately to the shower room to get myself ready for my first day as a married woman.
When I emerged from the bathroom after a relaxing shower, I got dressed in the outfit that Jenna had given me. A change of clothes was the last thing on my mind last night. Since I left my apartment in a hurry and never anticipated that I would be spending time in this country for more than a week at most, I did not pack a lot of clothes with me.
It was surprising to find that the clothes and underwear given to me were exactly the right size. However, the long navy dress provided too much cover than I would have liked. The neck was high, and the sleeves were also long. It wasn’t like I loved showing off my skin, but it still felt like the dress was covering every part of my body and only my head and face was peeking through.
