Chapter 4

Ada felt he knew the marriage between her and William was a promise.

She wasn't a Greenburg. The Greenburgs' magnificent mansion had just one servant.

Mathew didn't introduce Ada and departed when she arrived. Ada had trouble fitting in.

Mr. Greenburg lives here.

Rose is his servant.

Rose took Ada to a room to explain. "Tell me what you need."

Ada carried her toiletries for one month.

Ada nodded despite not needing much. Rose hesitated after opening a door. She looked to Ada and bit her lip as if to speak.

Today Mr. Greenburg may not return tonight. Ada was William's wife despite no wedding. Today was their wedding day, but he was staying with another lady.

Rose felt bad for Ada since her husband had just given her the cold sshoulder. Worse times ahead?

Ada looked at the bedroom furniture. The monochromatic space was basic, clean, and elegant. Mr. Greenburg's room.

Ada understood they should remain together since they were married.

* First night in her temporary residence, Ada couldn't sleep.

She explored job sites on her phone while leaning on her pillow.

She needed a job to support her mother and her unborn kid.

Someone employing writting scripts surprised her.

Alfred moved Ada's family to Country A.

She has been writting since she could write words. She wrote many stories based on her own experience and was a little famed on the internet.

Good salary, perks.

She filled out the application, added her résumé, then fell asleep.

Silent night moonlight glistened like silk on the glass.

Ada had fallen asleep after tossing and turning and didn't see the flare of white light in the yard. A tall figure exited the car .

He walked inside the home. His lips was dry as he removed his tie.

William went to his chamber to get a drink of water without waking his maids.

His Adam's apple dropped as he drank.

In a wine-induced haze, he didn't care as water dripped down his chin. his throat stopped burning.

He drank white wine during the dinner party and red wine while celebrating Jean's birthday.

The drinker became a little tipsy.

He exited the restroom with his jacket on a chair. He found his bed and fell asleep immediately. . Dawn came sooner than expected.

light, like shimmering threads, permeated the room.

William and Ada slept like newlyweds. William's eyelids twitched and opened.

He needed a shower to clear his mind from the hangover.

His arm got trapped as he attempted to stand up.

Turning over, he saw a lady in his arms.

Long black hair fell over his arm. Her eyelashes curled like butterfly wings. Her beautiful lips were parted and she breathed softly. His gaze gently travelled down her face to her tiny neck and collar bone.

He choked. He'd never experienced that need with Jean.

He furrowed his eyebrows and looked uncomfortable, but he couldn't look away.

Ada jolted up from her dream. She opened her eyes to see deep, peaceful eyes.

She froze. She gaped and covered her chest while wobbling.

"WHY?" William quietly removed the blanket.

"Wasn't it your girlfriend's birthday? She inquired as she got out of bed and stood next to William. Ada slept well all night after Rose told her William wouldn't return.

It's hardly surprising she didn't notice his entrance.

She slept with a guy. As she glanced away from him, her neck and cheeks burned from having slept in his embrace.

William undid his shirt.

He slept in it and it smelled like booze.

He wanted to shower since the wrinkled material was uncomfortable.

William smiled as he saw Ada terrified alongside the bed.

"My girlfriend's birthday trumps my wedding night? "

Ada froze. Ada glanced aside as William removed his shirt.

She disguised her repulsion at William's nakedness.

Men revolted her when she sold herself, particularly intimate touch.

Panicked.

"I'm leaving" Ada quickly left the room.

William ignored her.

He unbuckled and entered the restroom.

William's hair was damp and untidy after a shower. His white bathrobe wrapped his slim physique, revealing his toned chest.

He walked to the closet to get some clothing but stopped when he saw a cartoon underwear. She's so childish! She placed her stuff in his closet?

He grimaced and changed.

After dressing, he put away the hanger and dropped her underwear.

Her belongings slipped out. As he knelt to pick them up, he saw Ada's two month's pregnancy ultrasound.

Pregnant ?

In the living room, Rose saw Ada sitting alonein her pajamas, Rose flashed her a radiant grin. "Did you sleep well last night?" Rose figured Williamwouldn't come back last night while he was with Jean.

However, Rose had heard a commotion in the night so she got and found out that William had returned back last night and even slept in his bed.

The young master was finally married so Rose, who'd been taking care of him for years. Her tone and demeanor seemed too accommodating and made Ada uneasy.

Ada's lips twisted into a forced grin.

"Pretty, quite good."

Rose stepped into the kitchen and began cooking.

Ada glanced down at her pajamas. The clothing she'd packed were still in the room.

William should be done with his shower and have gotten changed now, right?

Ada rose and proceeded to the bedroom. She stood in front of the door and knocked lightly a few times.

The door wasn't locked and it swung open the instant she pushed on it.

However, the instant the door opened, Ada was hit with a cold wind that froze her to the bone as if it were winter in December.

William sat on the side of the bed coldly gazing at a piece of paper. That paper.

As soon as Ada saw the paper William was holding in his hand and the mess on the floor, her heart sunk and her blood boiled.

She faced extreme embarrassment as her privacy was being totally neglected.

Ada hurried up to him, seized the paper, and said,

"How can you touch my stuff without my permission?"

William sneered.

"Privacy?"

The way he smirked was especially unsettling,

"You married me with a bastard in your belly and now you come lecturing me about privacy?" "I-I." Ada wanted to explain but she was suddenly at a loss for words.

William arose and his steps looked almost robotic.
