Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

He saw her in the peached coloured lace dress which has a two-piece from Whistles with a slightly cropped top and a low hemline that barely grazes the floor. She wore black pointed shoes as she used to be short beside him. She looked stunning in the dress. He stood close to her behind. Just in time, she turned to see who the person came inside. 

As soon as he turned, her lips brushed to his shirt collar.

" I am so sorry. I spoiled your shirt," she apologized looking at his shirt collar. 

But he didn't care about it. His eyes were only on his beautiful wife. 

" Mrs Wilson, You made many mistakes.. It's just a beautiful mistake, " he said with a smirk.

She raised her head and looked into his ocean blue eyes. He leaned closer and opened the desk behind her. He took the box and opened it. He took the platinum with a diamond bracelet. He gently took her right hand to wear on her wrist. Then he noticed the old crystal bracelet on her wrist which he gifted long back. He felt overjoyed as she still kept safe with her. He kissed her knuckle and wore the new diamond bracelet. He tried to take off the bracelet but she protested to remove it.

" Both are my gifts. So wear the old one daily and the new one occasionally" he advised.

She made him remove the old one and she placed it in the new box securely. She looked at his shirt collar.

" Change your shirt, " she suggested.

" Let everyone..see this and ask me...I want everyone to tease you. Especially I want to see this with our Sam " he said.

" No… " she almost shouted.

" I told you while signing the documents that I will punish you in all ways. This is one of the ways, " he said.

" Ad….please… It will be embarrassing " she pleaded with puppy eyes.

" No….Mrs Wilson. This is just the beginning. Till you tell me, everything you are hiding from me. I will punish you by every means. Be ready to face all anger, love and possession on you, " he said and intertwined his arms with hers then he dragged her out of the room.

The ambience of a lawn is so romantic with flowers and their fragrance. As the sunset approaches and the lamps and lanterns go on, it will turn out to be a gorgeous location for the reception.

She nervously walked along with him to the hall where the guests were waiting. The music played while they walked towards the centre table where a big cake was placed. 

" Now...I understood why the newly wedded couple were late.." Jasmine giggled and indicated her finger towards Adrian's shirt to show Thomas.

Maria and Emily also laughed looking at lipstick marks on his shirt. She felt so embarrassed with their teasing while Adrian was enjoying her state.

" I think… Sam will get his sibling very soon…" Jasmine teased.

" I wish the same as I miss Sam's childhood," Maria said.

All of a sudden, Adrian's smile disappeared from his face and looked at Katherine. She lowered her head with guilt.

" Okay, let's start the party…" Thomas said observing a silent glare between them. 

" My wish is that your marriage will be a thing of beauty and a joy forever, always as beautiful as you are today, Katherine. And may the loveliness of your marriage increase with each year. Here's to Kathie and Addy. Here's to a sweetheart, a bottle, and a friend" Thomas started giving his speech and Jasmine, Maria and Emily spoke about the couple. They raised the toast in the air to share their happy moments.

As a newly wedded couple, the first dance has to be performed by Adrian and Katherine. Adrian took her hand and took her to the dance floor. He stood opposite to her and pulled closer to him placing his hands on her curvy waist. Slowly they started moving their feet to synchronise with the music. Then other couples got on the dance floor and danced till the length of an entire song.

Before the end of the reception, all the guests had their dinner. Few guests were enjoying food, a few were enjoying drinks and a few enjoying their time spending with friends. 

Finally, Adrian and Katherine cut the cake along with little Sam. Even though they had unselected issues, they shared their happiness with all the guests. 

After dining, all the guests left for their places. Thomas and Jasmine left for their room as soon as they completed dinner. Maria took Sam with her as he was tired. Emily excused herself as she got the call.

By the end of the party, Katherine noticed Ruby sitting at the corner table. She wanted to know the reason but Adrian's grip was tight around her waist. 

" Ad...Please...once take your hand," she asked him.

" No…" he replied, pulling into his arms.

" Please...Ad. I need to check Ruby. She was sitting alone" she pleaded.

Adrian looked in the direction and remembered how Steven left the place. He understood the reason. And he felt bad for his behaviour with him because he doesn't know about him or his feelings.

" I will talk with her. Stay here…" Adrian said and went to talk with her.

" Hi, Ruby…" he greeted and sat beside her in another chair.

" Why don't you dance with me, beautiful? " he asked to enlighten her mood.

" I don't know how to dance, " she replied sincerely.

" Then join us. Katherine is worried about you looking alone. " Adrian reasoned.

Ruby stood up from the chair and decided to join them. While they were walking, she asked him in a low voice, " Do you talk with Katherine about Steven? "

" No…" he replied.

" Is your boyfriend angry at you? " he asked her.

" I don't know. He left seriously," she replied, looking down.

" Then meet him tomorrow. As soon as he sees your face all anger disappears " Adrian advised.

She nodded shyly. After that, she stayed with them for some time. 

…..

By the end of the party, Adrian and Katherine were tired and sleepy. They went to their room.

When they opened the door, they were stunned. The room was dark but it was filled with scented candles. The aroma of the room was so good. The bed was decorated with rose petals heart-shaped. The floor of the room was filled with red balloons. In the corner of the room, there was a small white table and two white stools. On the table, there was a bottle of red wine with two empty glasses.

A note on it, " Enjoy the wedding night. We will don't mind even if you both are awake late tomorrow morning. "

Adrian walked towards the table and threw the note in the bin. He walked into the bathroom taking his night suit. Katherine stood in the same place blankly. She knew the relationship between them was not the same as before. And she knew it was her fault for Adrian's behaviour. 

Slowly she walked to the wardrobe to get her pyjamas. She searched for her other pyjamas but she could not see her dresses over there. 

" Kathie...go and change your dress. We can't do it tonight. Hope you know what I mean. " he said in a cold tone.

" My dresses are missing," she said in a low voice.

" How can it be possible? " Adrian asked with surprise.

He walked towards her and found her dresses missing. He found a folded paper in that place. He opened it and read the note.

" Your nightwear is in the next wardrobe. I hope you like it…Emily " 

" I think your dresses are shifted to another wardrobe by Emily. Change and come quickly," he said and walked towards the table.

He sat on the chair and served the drinks in the glasses. After a few minutes, Katherine came back without changing her dress.

" What happened? Do you need any help? " Adrian asked as he thought she had difficulty unbuttoning her dress this afternoon.

" No. I don't need any help. I am comfortable in this dress " she replied, looking down.

She sat on the chair opposite to him at the table. He was observing her face keenly. He sensed something was wrong as she was not looking at his face. Then he remembered Emily's note. He handed the glass to her and started sipping the drink looking at her. She was uncomfortable with his intense gaze.

So he excused himself and went to that wardrobe as she was behaving weirdly after she went to change the room. He opened the dress and noticed it was a transparent red night frock with red coloured lace panties and bra. 

He smiled looking at the dress and went to the table as he was unaware of the dress. After finishing the first glass of wine, he served another glass of wine for both of them. 

" Oh my God! Cockroach on your dress" he screamed.

As she was so scared of cockroaches, she stood up from the chair without thinking and jumped holding the glass in her hand.
