The Great CEO's Wife Is A Gangster 9 Chapter 9: First Night Together

The doctor from North Centennial hospital told them that she doesn't need a follow up checkup. She can walk on her own but to avoid suspicions, Aisha has to pretend that she's not totally okay yet. So a personal maid was task to a.s.sist her inside their room.

"thank you but I'm fine, you can go back now," she said in a calm manner. The maid was bewildered by her kind words. It was the very first time that she talked to her. Stacy never spoke to any servant before unless she needed them to do something but it was a rare occasion. She never talked to anyone in a calm manner before thats why she was surprised.

"Y-yes ma'am. I'll call you once dinner is ready..." the maid answered before leaving the room.

As soon as the maid left, she strolled around the room. It's definitely two-times wider than her apartment. She's not a bit surprise since she used to have a big room in his father's mansion as well. The only difference was she has a mini library inside . She loves collecting and spending much time with her books. Also, she has a secret room for her own weapons. "I guess the library is somewhere else." She muttered.

She's getting bored lying in the room so she went out and ask one of their maid servant where she can find the library. The maid was puzzled. Aisha saw her discomfort. "Is there's something wrong?'' she asked.

"N-none Miss Stacy. I-It's just that you've never been in the library before. O-oh, you must be wandering where your favorite magazines are? y-yeah, that's right. Ma'am the magazines are compiled over there." The maid pointed out a stack of magazine under the sofa table.

She squeezed her bowlines. What am I going to do with those? She irritatingly thought. She was never a fan of reading magazines. She hates reading subjective opinions.

"Ah., hha,..O-okay, thank you." She smiled reluctantly. "I guess I have to find it myself then." She said to herself.

Aisha roamed around the mansion in search of the library. The mansion is big and in search of the library, she was able to discover where the wine storage is and accidently open the rooms of the servants. She mocked herself. Finally, she saw the library. She didn't notice the eyes that was looking at her. It was Ethan in his study room fixing some doc.u.ments when she saw Stacy walking towards the library room. The study room was located just beside the library. His study room was made of tinted gla.s.s so he can see people outside but they can't see him.

"Since when did she took a liking for the library?" he furrowed.

It's been an hour yet Ethan haven't seen Stacy come out from the library yet. He was thinking of checking her but he shook the idea. He went back to what he's doing. However, 2 hours have pa.s.sed yet Stacy hasn't come out yet so he decided to go in and see. He pretended to look for a book when he spotted her sitting on the floor, leaning on the book shelve while reading. She was engrossed with the book, unable to notice Ethan's presence.

"ahemm! Ethan cleared his throat but Stacy didn't move an eyelid. Looks like she didn't hear him.

"I didn't know your into reading Miss Hertz", Ethan probed. She looked up and suddenly stood up.

"E-th --- Ouch." she felt a little dizzy making her lean on the shelve. "I-I'm sorry. Probably because I was sitting for a while." Ethan looked at his wrist.w.a.tch.

"dinner should be ready now," Her eyes widened.

"ooh, did I spent two hours here? I'm sorry if I bothered you------'

"Stop a.s.suming that I came to see you, I'm here to get a book for my reference'' he interrupted.

She smiled embara.s.sed. "uhm, Is it okay to bring this book outside? I really love to continue reading this later." She asked Ethan who was about to reach a book on the opposite shelve.

"since when did you learn to ask for my permission?"

"ehh… ?" She raised a brow .." I-Is that a yes?''

"whatever.'' Aisha jump as she hugged him at his back. Ethan froze. Aisha headed outside the library hoping and dancing.

"Is she that happy for a mere book? Eh?'' suddenly he paused and look at the door's direction. "isn't she injured?''

After a while, Aisha went to the dining table after she placed the book inside there room.Maids where standing beside her but she can't see Eli and Ethan so she asked one of the maid. "Eli usually eats in his room for dinner and Mr. Ethan eats a little late."

"oh, okay,'' she was thinking thoroughly for a while. She just hates the idea of eating separately.

"Just a minute ...'' Aisha excused herself then went to Eli's room. She knocked but no one opened it so she went inside.

'Eli? Eli are you there?'' she called out. She saw him curled in his bed. "Eli, are you asleep?'' she heard a sob so she went near him. "'are you okay? What happened? Are you hurt?"

Eli didn't answer. "are you sick?'' she checked his forehead, his a little feverish so she called her personal maid to bring her a thermometer. She also ordered her to prepare a light meal and to bring her medicine.

"Don't worry, you'll be alright, okay?'' she said. Eli nodded.

Ethan came out in his study room. He went to the dining table and saw the foods that was prepared. Its seems that no one has eaten yet so he asked one of their maids.

"Master Ethan, Miss Stacy have not eaten yet. But she's at master Eli's room. Seems like Master Eli have a fever." The maid stated.

"What? Eli's sick? Why didn't you call me then!?" he furiously said then he ran towards Eli's room. Ethan cannot believe his eyes, so he blinked not just twice but thrice. The Stacy he knew doesn't know how to take care of a sick person and she never visited Eli before. But right now, Stacy is wiping Eli's body as she changed his wet clothes. she even place a wet towel at Eli's forehead. Did the sun rose from the east? He thought.

"sweetheart, I know you might not have an appet.i.te but you have to eat even if it's just a spoonful so you can drink your medicine, okay?'' he heard her spoke to Eli in a very gentle way.

"I-I don't want medicine, no... no medicine...'' Eli almost cried. Stacy caressed his hair. "do you want daddy to send you to the hospital? Do you want the doctors to insert a needle in your b.u.t.t? That hurts even more, you know?" She exaggerated. Eli waved his head in disagreement.

"Mommy hates the hospital too,'' she smiled. She lifted a spoonful of porridge and signaled Eli to eat. "There you go, good boy."

"Eli?'' Ethan called as he approached his son.

"Dad!'' he called weakly.

"How are you?" he inquired.

"He has a mild fever, but he will be alright as soon as he drinks his medicine", Aisha answered.

"ehm, okay. Eat more so you can take your medicine.'' He encouraged his son. Eli finished his food then he drunk the medicine. After a while he dozed off to sleep.

Ethan stood up as well as Aisha. Aisha is about to enter their room when Ethan spoke, "Where are you going?''

"room?" she pointed at their room's direction.

"dinner?"

"Ah! Yeah! I almost forgot. Let's go then?'' she bashfully smiled then went to the kitchen. Ethan followed. They sat opposite each other. The foods are good in the eyes but Aisha is searching for a particular dish.

"are you looking for something?'' Ethan asked.

"Uhm… it's seems that there's only pork dishes on the table, I was thinking of having beef instead or chicken perhaps." her face was dull. Ethan creased a brow and the maid looked at each other unbelievingly.

"Everything in the table was your favorite dish I believe. And as far as I remember, you don't eat beef at all." Ethan was baffled.

"Eh? M-my favorite you said?'' she laughed forcefully. "Really? Eh, I, I actually want to try another cuisine. You know? Yes, that's it. I'm changing my diet." She hysterically explained.

"We will let our chef know about it Miss Stacy," the maid is about to go inside the kitchen when Stacy stopped her.

"No! please don't. It's okay, I'm good with this. I-I'm sorry for troubling you. I'll take the vegetables instead." Aisha is not a picky eater but she suddenly craved for beef this time.

After supper, Aisha went directly to their room. She picked the book and started reading again. Ethan came out from the shower and changed into his boxer. He usually sleeps half naked. Aisha was distracted when Ethan laid beside her.

"are you sleeping with your trunks? Only?'' Aisha was anxious. She forgot that she has to sleep beside him. The thought of it sent s.h.i.+vers to her spine. She never slept with anyone before, not even with her friends and this would be her very first time—worst feeling would be beside this cold hearted man

"Are you really asking that after sleeping with me for four years?'' his brow creased.

Aisha's eyes were enlarged. "Y-you mean it's already a habit of him? And he will be doing it every SINGLE NIGHT? SERIOUSLY? Oh Lord, why are you tormenting me like this?'' her mind is in jumble. Ethan saw her uneasiness and he smirk.

"I believe this is not your first time seeing me half-naked", he said mockingly. Their faces are so close. Aisha blushed in embarra.s.sment as their eyes met. Ethan suddenly staggered as he gazes intently in her eyes… seems like he realized something. Aisha can feel it, she was alarmed so she averted her eyes.

"I-I … I'm Sleeping! He pushed Ethan away then she covered her head instantly with the blanket.

"…"

What's with that accusing gaze? Did he detect something? Aisha's mind in in jumble once again.

"It's impossible. Im sure he wont notice it. No one knows about my existence in this country.. ahhh! I'm thinking too much!" She scolded herself silently. " But I wont mind sleeping beside a handsome guy", She drooled at her thought. "Pervert!" She wiggled.

Ethan was deep in his thoughts while looking at Stacy fully covered with blanket. He can see her wiggling. Something isn't just right.

"That Eyes!'' he stroked his chin. "It's definitely her eyes"
