A Blissful Day
Chapter 49
The morning was unlike Ashley had ever thought it would be.
When she opened her eyes, Mikhail was nowhere to be seen, just a letter on the bed telling her that he would be back and she should eat well lest she received another punishment.
She didn't know what to think anymore but then her legs hurt like hell.
Her core was aching.
How could she be this sore when it was her second time?
She smiled and stood up from the bed, jumping gently and smiling as if she had just received something great.
Walking to the bathroom, she took her bath and put on her clothes.
Going down the stairs, Rob and Max were down there, waiting for her.
"Hi people." She waved with a smile.
"I'm so sorry Ma'am, I just wanted to help yesterday I didn't know Boss would be..."
"There is no need to apologise, Rob, thank you so much. Do you know where Mikhail went to?" She asked.
"Back to Seattle, he didn't complete his work."
"Ohh." Ashley hummed and sighed.
"Then why did he come back yesterday?" She asked no one, worry marring her face.
He didn't look like someone fine.
"He wanted to come to see wify," Max whispered.
Although it was supposed to be a whisper..they all heard it.
"He didn't want to see wify." Ashley rolled her eyes, and even though she knew that was the case she would not admit to it.
"Have you all eaten?" She asked, and Max nodded.
"Boss asked us all to get food from the restaurant nearby and that we shouldn't disturb you, that you might not even be able to walk this morning," Max answered, shrugging.
Ashley could only help but shake her head.
Mikhail had spoilt the guards as well.
Look how he was keeping a straight face while talking to her about such things!
"Ha, we're going to the spa," Rob said, hitting the latter's huge hand and he smiled as well as if to make the place less awkward.
"Okay then." She no and grabbed her bag leaving the house.
"Can you keep your mouth shut?!"
"Boss is going to get slapped today or tomorrow with what he's about to do," Max said, scratching his head.
"Should we tell Miss about it?"
"About what? are you digging your grave? If you want to be alive to see the end of today.. keeping your mouth shut will be so much better." Rob said and the latter nodded.
Moving out of the house without restrictions, Ashley had begun to know some places in the city.
Italy was a huge place and she loved it.
If she weren't Mikhail's wife by now she would have gotten involved with the Mafia and then put a bullet into his head, after all, that has been her goal all along.
Sighing, she got out of the car when they got to the spa.
She had no intention to do many things.
Her head was still occupied by what Mikhail had said the other night.
That he had left Seattle just so he wouldn't hurt her.
What was that about?
Was he going to hurt her mother if he was there?
For the main time that alone was what she knew would hurt her so damn much.
She sighed, walking to the counter.
"Good morning." The guy at the counter greeted me.
"Yes, Good morning." She greeted, looking around to see that it was only occupied by males.
Why so?
"Wait. Is this spa mainly for males?" She asked, her eyes still scanning around.
"No. But we only have male services." The guy said for her eyes to widen.
Was Rob going mad?
He had seen how crazy Mikhail had gone when he had seen him trying to help her and had gotten the wrong idea and now he had brought her to an all-male service spa.
She hissed turning to Rob that scratched his head awkwardly.
"Sorry Ma'am, I didn't know that they were no female servicer," Rob mumbled and Ashley snorted.
There was no way she'd let another man touch her body with his hands.
Although the marriage between her and Mikhail was nannnnt aanal one thing was still cheating.
Speaking of which... what if Mikhail was...
She shook her head.
There was no way he'd do that.
He had given her his word that he would stay away from women.
"Where else can we go now?" She asked.
"The Spa Row Female Spa."
"That's such a long name. How come you know the names of Spa's Rob? Don't tell me you have a girlfriend..you take her there whenever you leave at night."
Rob's eyes widened and he scratched his head again. Something Ashley had come to know that he does whenever he was feeling awkward or nervous about something.
"Don't you worry, I know that you have a girlfriend named Laura and I know you leave some night to go see her. I have seen her one time like that." She said and winked at him.
"What?" Rob's eyes widened and he coughed.
"How do you know that Ma'am?"
"That day when you left to do something, I also went to the coffee shop close to the Mansion and I saw you talking with some girl. When you went to the restroom I walked up to her and she introduced herself as ' Hi, I'm Laura. Robby's girlfriend. Your hair is so long and beautiful.' Ashley said, mimicking the girl's voice at the last sentence which got Rob's mouth forming an 'oh.'
"Don't you worry, I won't tell on you? And why the heck are you two hiding your relationship from Mikhail?"
Ashley had come to know that both Laura and Rob were working under Mikhail. Laura was working for the people at the border of Italy while Rob stayed in Seattle.
Their relationship was quite the long distance.
"He would not like it. He has specifically stated that they should be no relationship with any member of the Mafia house. It is the third rule and it is considered X." Rob said, his head lowering down.
"What is X and why the hell is that prohibited?" Ashley asked almost in a whisper.
"When you fail to keep a rule, you get punished. But if you fail to keep an X rule...you die instantly." Rob concluded and Ashley's eyes widened to a point she felt like the eyes would pop out.
If it was considered X, why was he still doing that?
Knowing that at a point, there'll both die.
Was that how love worked?
She had thought that she knew a lot about love but there was no way she'd distinguish what they were both doing.
Their lives were at risk and knowing how well Mikhail loved to do things by the rules.. he'd kill them without blinking an eye.
The drive to the other spa began slowly but there was no appetite to go there anymore.
"Let's go back home."
"Ma'am?"
"Home." She said, sighing as she closed her eyes.

They were already home and Ashley got down from the car.
She hissed, pushing the strands of hair that had fallen on her face.
"I didn't tell you those things to make you feel bad or pity us, Ma'am." She turned to see Rob and smiled at him.
"We love each other and we're ready to risk it all." He said, and she nodded.
Her phone rang so loudly that she frowned, bringing out the pocketed cell phone from her bag.
It was Sandra!
Why was she calling her internationally?
Doesn't she know the use of WhatsApp?
Ashley cut the call, calling her sister via WhatsApp and the latter picked up so quickly.
"Have you seen the news?"
"What news?"
"About Mikhail?" Sandra asked, and Ashley frowned.
"What is it about? I'm not in Seattle remember? What does it say?" Ashley asked.
Her voice was laced with worry.
"You have to see it for yourself," Sandra said, hanging up and sending a video.
Ashley sighed, clicking on the video and waiting to see it load.
Once it was done loading...she clicked it on it only to see what she had never expected.
It was a sex tape of Mikhail.
Although his face wasn't clear, she knew it was him.
And with a woman she had never seen before.
Tears burned her eyes and the phone fell from her hands.
He had promised her that he would never cheat on her?!
He had promised her that till they were divorced he would never take another woman to bed.
Was it all lies?
What they had shared last night?
What she had thought was handled gently as never held her before.
It was all pure lies.
She had tried to tell herself that maybe for once he was beginning to open his heart to love.
Just when she had begun to trust him..this happened?
She looked up and saw Rob rushing to her as he kept staring at his phone and she knew he must have gotten the info.
"Ma'am, you shouldn't believe..."
"Get the plane ready! We're leaving."
