Chapter 109: Chapter 56.1

These days, Yernia had a hard time preparing for the party.

It was her first party since she became the Marchioness.

No place didn’t go through her hands, and it started with the flowers.

It was hard to pay attention to everything, but Cassian made Yernia work harder.

“Wake up. You have to eat.”

Yena’s ‘wake-up time’ became more flexible because she wasn’t sleeping with Cassian.

When she couldn’t sleep, she would remain awake until dawn.

When she slept well, she woke up at noon.

This time, Yernia had to get up early to prepare for the party.

Today, Cassian came to wake her up again.

The loud banging at her door sounded defiant.

“Open the door, Yernia. Why did you lock it?”

Yernia opened her eyes.

It wasn’t even afternoon yet.

Relieved, she rolled over the blanket.

He was shameless to ask why she locked it, so she laughed.

Cassian had bullied Yernia every night.

He suddenly entered her room to occupy her bed and used guidance as an excuse.

He would often hug her and ask her to hug him back to help him fall asleep.

She didn’t want to wake him up, so she left him like that once, but it had already happened twice.

Yesterday, as well.

“Do you want to do something else?”

He even circled his arm around her waist.

Just a rough glance told her what he was about without asking.

Cassian needed a more powerful guiding method than a hug.

He looked at her like a beast and bit her ear.

In response, she hit him with a pillow and kicked him out.

***

These days, she was just so tired of Cassian’s shenanigans.

He asked her to prepare for the party in the morning and guide him at night.

“Go away.”

“Shall I open the door? Open the door, Yernia.”

“I’m so tired today. I want to sleep a little longer.”

Today’s work was piled up like a mountain.

She had to choose a portrait to hang on the wall, and she had to monitor each piece of furniture taken inside the mansion.

The butler was tasked to do it.

Still, Yernia also had to check.

She wanted to do it properly because it was their first party as a couple, but she was so exhausted.

Then, the door suddenly opened, and she doubted her eyes.

She certainly didn’t open it herself while lying on the bed.

Cassian had opened the door from the outside.

“How did you open it?”

“I can open it and come in whenever I want.”

She didn’t think he had broken it, so how did he manage to open the door?

It must be something that Cassian had learned from the back alley.

He had taken advantage of his abilities.

She didn’t know the rest of the details, but it felt like that.

“Your lips are swollen.”

“It’s because of you.”

She kissed Cassian yesterday since that date had fallen into that ‘let’s-kiss-once-a-week’ schedule.

Unfortunately, her husband decided to kiss her multiple times yesterday.

He was so persistent since he wasn’t allowed to do it any other day.

Cassian kissed her several times on the bed.

She tried to rest for a bit  but it went on until dawn.

“My eyes are swollen.”

Yernia had finally shed tears.

No matter how urgent he needed guidance, she was sad that he didn’t care about her at all.

When she started crying silently, Cassian stopped kissing her and wiped away her tears.

“You don’t want to guide me anymore?”

“There’s that. I have another reason as well. I’m exhausted, Cassian. I gave you a lot of physical contacts yesterday so, please. Just let me go for today.”

“I know. I should have been moderate last night but once a week wasn’t enough for me. That’s why I can’t leave you alone.”

“You’re shameless.”

Yernia shook her hands.

“How about kissing twice a week? Perhaps, I can control myself a little more.”

“I’d rather believe the dog passing by compared to you.”

The Cassian she was currently with was a liar.

He never told her a bad lie, but he would often break his word.

Cassian told her he’d be gentle last night.

She faltered because it was hard to meet the sudden onslaught.

Cassian relieved her fears by saying, “We’ll take it easy. So open your mouth for me.”

When he started kissing her, he forgot about his promise.

He’s a bad guy.

“We will not do it twice. Not a chance. I felt so desperate last night, Cassian. I might die if we kiss twice a week the way you want it.”

“Can’t you see I’m trying to control myself?”

“I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you.”

“Alright. Get up first.”

Yernia shook her head, her cheeks rubbing against the sheets.

“I’m so tired that I can’t even move my hands. “I’m not confident to wash my face and welcome the guests.”

She was washing the responsibility out of her hands.

Cassian tucked his forearms under Yernia’s armpits to raise her up.

She exhaled a frustrated sigh.

She didn’t want to get up.
