Pampered Like A Princess

The next morning, the door to the bedroom slowly creaked open.

Nelissa was still wrapped in the comfortable blanket and she stretched herself after a good night’s sleep.

She opened her eyes groggily and noticed Edward standing by the wardrobe, undressing himself.

Nelissa stared in awe as Edward’s muscular back moved in tandem with his movement. His broad shoulders were firm and strong.

Nelissa turned away hurriedly and peered out the window. The blinds were drawn and the room was dim.

“Is it still raining?” Nelissa said with a raspy voice.

“No, it stopped at about five o’clock.” Edward then turned around and lay onto the bed, topless.

Nelissa was shocked and she immediately got off the bed. She didn’t know what Edward was going to do; she was not waiting to find out!

She tiptoed her way to the windows and pulled up the blinds.

The sky was still dark and it looked like it was going to rain again.

“Let the blinds down,” Edward flipped to the side and said. He seemed like a charming vampire repulsed by the sun.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“I was up all night. My eyes need some rest, so keep the room dark.” Edward then closed his eyes and crossed his arms behind his head.

“Alright.” Nelissa let the blinds down again and the whole room descended into darkness once more.

Edward suddenly commanded, “Eliza isn’t coming over today. I told her to stay home because of the terrible weather. My assistant will be here to pick you up later.”

He then took a deep breath and added, “Have something to bite before you leave, okay? I don’t want to repeat myself.”

“Okay.” Nelissa didn’t refuse.

“Go wash up. There’s a new change of clothes for you on the couch.” Edward then dug his face into his pillow and turned his back against Nelissa.

Nelissa picked up the dress on the couch and realized that this dress was way longer than the one he had made her wear.

She entered the bathroom and locked the door behind her.

Nelissa changed into the long dress after washing up.

Nelissa exited the bathroom and snuck out. Edward seemed to be sound asleep. She prowled her way towards the door silently, fearing that she would wake the dormant beast.

Making her way to the kitchen downstairs, Nelissa got herself a bottle of purified drinking water.

After twenty minutes, Edward’s assistant, Andrew showed up with loads of food. He came in straight because he knew the password to the house too.

Andrew paused when he saw Nelissa on the couch in the living room. She was watching the weather forecast when she suddenly turned towards him. She smiled and greeted him, “Good morning.”

Andrew was stunned for a moment and he replied, “Good morning, Miss Nelissa.”

He then began unpacking the food he brought at the dining table.

There were a plethora of dishes available.

Nelissa finished watching the forecast and then sat down to have breakfast.

“Is Master Hale awake?” Andrew asked.

“He is still sleeping. I don’t think he wants to be disturbed,” Nelissa reminded Andrew kindly.

Andrew had been working with Edward for years and he was familiar with his temper.

What baffled him was that Nelissa seemed to be fine. Edward was clearly pissed off by Nelissa the day before, but he didn’t do anything to her at all.

Nelissa finished eating and packed the leftovers into the fridge.

After that, she left the villa in Andrew’s car. She instructed him to drop her off a distance away from the office; she wanted to avoid any gossip from her colleagues.

After all, the entire office could tell that that she had a rather peculiar relationship with Edward.

And worse, they were beginning to suspect that she was two-timing him with another guy from Southville City.

It was a terrible accusation to be pinned on her!

Nelissa had just placed her things down at her spot when Jolene called her into her office.

Sigh, it seemed that Jolene was going to interrogate her again.

“Nelly, do you really take me for a fool? I know all of your friends and none of them are married!” Jolene reprimanded Nelissa.

“It’s true. I’ll introduce you to her some other time.” Nelissa tried to brush off the topic and added, “Could we just leave it at this? I still have clients to meet today.”

Nelissa was broke. She had to look for a side hustle quick!

Edward woke up later in the afternoon in a daze as he ran his fingers through his hair seductively.

He got off the bed steadily and went into the bathroom. Suddenly, something seemed to catch his eye.

It was the dress that Nelissa had left behind.

Edward picked up the dress and he could smell Nelissa’s subtle fragrance emanating from it. The scent perfumed his nostrils as his entire body began to tremble.

He took another strong sniff before putting it down and going into the shower.

After an hour, Edward walked out of the shower with dripping hair. He couldn’t seem to shake Nelissa’s face out of his mind.

She had slept in his bed the entire night and the bed still had remnants of her alluring body scent.

It was Nelissa that had ultimately chained Edward to herself. She had him in bondage through her charm and it was time for Edward to strike back!

His phone suddenly vibrated. Edward didn’t move and the phone stopped ringing some time later.

A few minutes later, his phone began ringing again.

Edward finally decided to answer the phone.

“What is it?” Edward instructed.

It was Andrew. He had called to inform Edward of his schedule for the day. Edward had to attend a banquet that night and Andrew was wondering if he needed a date.

Edward usually has a routine for these kinds of events. He would either go alone or he would rent a date, typically a young girl from the nearby university. It was a strictly transactional relationship and their arrangement would end once the event concludes.

Andrew knew that and he wanted to make sure that he could make the appropriate preparations.

“It’s fine. I have someone in mind,” Edward replied as he stared off into the distance.

“Yes, sir.” Andrew immediately understood what he meant and hung up.

Edward took another cat nap before heading downstairs for his lunch.

He opened the fridge and there were boxes of food arranged neatly. There was also a note on one of the boxes left by Nelissa.

Edward was slightly excited. He took the note and read it.

He giggled. He had initially thought that Nelissa would leave behind some flirty note but instead, it was just instructions on how to use the microwave.

Nelissa seemed to have thought it through. She had been in Edward’s shoes too. She didn’t even know how to boil water in the past, and she assumed that Edward was just as bad as she was.

Edward followed her instructions clumsily and took more than thirty minutes to heat the food up.

He then sat down and ate his lunch while he held the precious note in his hands.

Meanwhile, Nelissa had just finished another meeting with a client and it was getting late. Jolene was also a dear and she helped to fetch the twins from school.

As soon as Nelissa reached home, her phone rang.

It was Edward.

She sighed and answered the phone. She was the supervisor of the project between Victory Group and Hales Group; she had to.

“Master Hales.” Nelissa leaned against the door as she removed her heels.

“I have a banquet to attend later at eight. You will be my plus one,” Edward remarked.

Nelissa frowned. She hated these events.

“I’ve already got off work,” she replied.

“I’m downstairs right now. If I don’t see you in ten minutes, I’ll come up looking for you,” Edward warned and hung up.

He wasn’t open to negotiations.

Nelissa scowled. She put on the heels again.

“Are you heading out again?” Jolene came out of the kitchen and asked. The twins were still engrossed with their toys and they didn’t seem to notice Nelissa.

“Edward asked me to be his plus one at a banquet,” Nelissa lamented.

What did she get herself into!

“Couldn’t you just refuse?” Jolene questioned.

“Why don’t you tell him that?” Nelissa handed her phone to Jolene.

Jolene was hesitant. Edward might turn against her and her career would be over in no time.

Jolene gave it a quick thought and said, “What if we tell him that it was the twins? Tell him that they miss their mommy and they wanted you to stay home. He can’t possibly be that heartless and take you away, right?”
