Chapter 392 - First Night
Anne was in her bridal chamber after the party was over. She was really tired after standing up most of the time for the whole day. When she was about to open her wedding dress, suddenly there was a knock on her bridal room door. She immediately canceled her intention to take a shower. She was sure it wasn't her crazy husband who was at the door, because he couldn't have knocked on the door.
"Am I bothering you, child?" asked Mr. David Clarke gently.
Anne immediately shook her head. "No, Grandpa, how could you bother me? I was just about to remove my makeup. Please come in, Grandpa."
"No, I can't come in. This is Alan and your bridal room.. I just want to give a small gift and congratulations on your marriage and welcome you into the Clarke family," said Mr. David Clarke.
"Gift?"
"Yes, Miss, please accept the heirloom for the daughter-in-law of this family," Luis replied quickly while holding out an old wooden box to Anne.
"But I don't deserve to..." Anne was able to finish her sentence because Luis suddenly forced her to accept the wooden box.
Mr. David Clarke smiled when he saw his gift was already in Anne's hands. "You are the daughter-in-law in this family after decades, so please don't refuse the gift, Anne."
Anne's eyes were filled with tears at the words of Mr. David Clarke, who had become her grandfather. She really couldn't refuse. Mr. David Clarke's gift because she couldn't bear to make the old man sad. After making sure the gift was well received by his granddaughter-in-law, Mr. David Clarke went back to his room with Luis, who always faithfully accompanied him wherever he went.
Shortly after they left, Anne entered the bridal room with the wooden box in her arms. She slowly placed the wooden box on the table next to the sofa. Because she could still hear Alan's laughter, who was still with his friends in the garden, Anne opened the wooden box her grandfather had given her. Without difficulty, Anne managed to open the wooden box and was surprised to see its contents. She found a beautiful set of jewelry with super rare and expensive stones in the wooden box. Her hands trembled as she brought the jewelry out of the box. The blue-diamonds encrusted jewelry looked very stunning to anyone who saw them. Because blue diamonds are one of the most expensive diamond stones in the world. This stone was a very rare stone and was only owned by families who have high social status in society, so it was not a surprise that the Clarke family had a set of jewelry encrusted with blue diamonds.
But for Anne, who was not dazzled by such trinkets, they made her afraid. She felt she did not deserve such a super luxurious gift because she realized that she should not be in the Clarke family by becoming Alan's wife. Because for her, the marriage she was in was a marriage out of compulsion, and was not based on feelings of love. Therefore, she felt that she did not deserve this extraordinary gift. Without thinking twice, Anne then put the super-luxury jewelry back into its box without thinking about trying it on at all. After making sure the jewelry was properly set in the box, she brought the wooden box and put it in the big cupboard which was now her wardrobe. The wardrobe was also filled with lots of luxury clothes from various famous designers that were bought especially for Anne. She just smiled faintly at the row of super expensive clothes.
"Okay, you better stay there. Tomorrow morning I will return you to Grandpa," said Anne quietly as she looked at the wooden box that was now in her wardrobe.
Because she was very tired and sleepy, Anne finally decided to go take a shower. Without bringing a change of clothes, she went straight into the room still wearing her party dress. Without difficulty, Anne managed to remove the ball gown that had amazed many people in a short time. She carefully stored the dress in the laundry bag in the bathroom. After that, she immediately took a bath under the shower. She didn't want to take any risk by soaking in the bathtub.
Anne didn't want to give the monster she hated so much a chance to touch her again, so she chose to take a quick bath without performing the usual rituals performed by newlyweds on their wedding night. Because for her part, this was not the wedding she wanted, so she had no obligation to do the sweet things that brides usually do on their wedding night.
After feeling quite refreshed, she finished her activities. She then grabbed the bath robe which had been neatly arranged on a special shelf in the bathroom not far from the shower where she was. By using a small towel, she rolled up her long hair before drying it with a hair dryer. After Jack was declared dead, Anne never cut her hair again, so after more than 2 years, her hair was now back to its normal length. It was Jack's favorite long hair.
"Luis is really great," said Anne quietly when she saw the row of skincare products on her dressing table.
All the skincare products that were on her dressing table were the products she usually used and all of them were just bought by Luis on the orders of Mr. Alan, of course.
Without waiting for long, Anne then applied the products she usually used to her face. Although she rarely wore make-up, Anne never forgot to feed her skin. That was why her face looked very healthy and free from all kinds of problems. When Anne had done her obligatory ritual, she then removed the small towel wrapped around her long hair to dry it with the hair dryer. She really looked like a princess whose all her personal needs were readily available without her having to ask and that made her feel even more unworthy to be by Alan's side.
"Wow ... so my wife is ready!" Alan, who suddenly entered in a drunken state, immediately commented on Anne who had finished bathing.
Thump!
Anne immediately got up from the chair and put the hair dryer on the dressing table, her eyes staring intently at the nature that was staggering towards her. The smell of alcohol wafted very strongly from Alan's body.
"Don't be afraid, honey, I won't be as rude as the first time we did it. This time I'll do it gently and you can enjoy the game," said Alan casually.
"You're drunk, Alan. You better hurry up and go to the bathroom, clean up and go to sleep." Anne had the courage to answer Alan's words.
Alan immediately laughed out loud at his wife's words. With unsteady steps, Alan managed to grab Anne's body and carry her to the bed. Although he was drunk, the natural forces were still very strong and Anne couldn't fight back. Anne, who hadn't worn anything under her bathing pajamas, felt very scared when she had been crushed back by Alan.
"You're drunk, Alan..."
"I love you Anne, I've liked you from the first time I saw you. Who are you, why are you always in my memory, Anne?" Alan immediately cut Anne's words quickly.
"Le-let me go first... I'll tell you who I am later," said Anne, trying to buy time and free herself from Alan.
"No... I don't need to know who you are now, because you are my wife. You are mine and..."
Alan, who was very drunk, finally fell on top of Anne's body. He fell asleep on his wedding night because Brandon Rex and the others had force-fed him with lots of drinks. Anne, who was afraid that Alan would touch her again, was grateful when she heard a loud snoring sound from Alan. With all her strength, Anne pushed Alan's body away from hers. But unfortunately, when she pushed Alan, the rope of her bathrobe was pulled, so that her body was exposed again.
"Oh my God!!" Anne screamed in panic.
