Chapter 15
Its 3 am and I'm laying in bed with Allison sleeping next to me, she is as close to her side without falling off the bed, is it really that terrible to sleep with me? We are married and the staff know it's an arranged marriage so why did I insist we share my room? I even have her room across the hall set up for her cause I didn't want my life to change and I'm not really fond of the idea of having to share my bed. But I was the one that insisted that really gave her no choice. I should just let her have her own room. But I cant get the look on Allison's face out of my head, she seemed to like the idea but was hesitant for some reason. I get up because it's no use I won't be sleeping anyway. I walk to my office down the hallway and do some work for a couple hours and see that its 5 30 am so I decide I might as well get ready for work. I walk to our room and see Allison is still sleeping so I walk in quietly and get my suit on. It is dark blue with a black shirt underneath and I chose black shoes. I go down stairs and see Connie is already up and preparing breakfast, she knows I get up early. "Good morning Connie" I say to her.
"Oh good morning sir" she says happy and cheerful.
"You dont have to keep calling me sir, I have told you for years to call me Zander." I tell her annoyed.
"You know I won't, so you will just have to accept it." She just smiles and turns back to cooking. I shake my head and go to sit down at the table and look through the paper she sets out for me every morning. Soon she puts a plate of bacon and eggs down for me and I thank her and start eating. Her cooking is so good. Connie has been my cook for three years ever since I bought my house.
"Oh Connie when Allison gets up could you tell her that her room is ready and to make herself at home in it?" I ask her.
"Oh I didn't realize she didn't sleep in there last night." She looks at me confused.
"Um yeah, we were both really tired so I offered to have her sleep in my room with me." I say looking away so she doesn't see my red face. Connie knows that I have never brought a girl home and that I dont date but she has never said anything to anyone.
"Yes sir I will tell her today and show her the room." She says giving me a knowing look.
"Thank you Connie. Well I'm leaving could you tell Allison also tha thg I won't be back until late and to not wait up for me?" I ask her.
"Yes I can do that as well sir."
I thank her and leave, I walk out and my driver is already there and waiting. I get in and head to my office. I work for my dad, he owns the company and I'm the COO. I knew that the company was struggling I just didn't think the solution would be maery me off to make the debt go away. It's fine, ita not like I am that interested in dating or girls for that matter. I get to the office building and walk in, I greet the receptionist and head toward the elevator and press the 42nd button. My office is at the top of the building. The doors open and I see my assistant and she hurrys over.
"Good morning Mr.Martin" lacy my assistant chips.
I grunt in reply and go to my office and sit at my desk.
"What is my schedule for the day?" I ask .
"Well your father would like to speak to you and you have a meeting today at 2 regarding Mr. Smith's company." She says reading off her iPad.
I groan thinking about about the meeting since Mr. Smith is incompetent about pretty much anything.
"Ok thank you lacy, you can go now." I say waving her off. She nods and turns to go back to her small office next to mine. I run my head starting to get a headache already and start on my work . I look for notes I need for the meeting later and remember I left them at home so I call Connie to tell her where they are and to send them with my driver. I notice I have a few hours so I work on something else.
Allison's POV
I open my eyes and roll over to f and nd the bed empty, I rub my eyes and see its 8:30. I wonder where Zander went but figure he's busy. I get out of bed and head to the bathroom to change, I dress in leggings and a long shirt, i hate anything tight fitting because i was always teased in my pack. But I were leggings because they are so comfortable. I brush my teeth, by now it's a quarter to 9 and head down stairs and go to the kitchen and see Connie.
"Good morning Mrs. Martin. Would you like to est some breakfast?" She asks looking at me.
"Good morning Connie. Oh no I usually dont eat breakfast except for an apple or banana." I say looking her embarrassed. But not sure why.
"Dear you need to eat breakfast its important. Besides I made you pancakes and eggs." She says sadly looking at me with a concerned look on her face.
How can I tell her that I wasn't allowed to eat breakfast let alone have someone make me breakfast to eat. My stomach grumbles and I hope she dosent hear it. I dont want her to worry that I'm not eating.
'Ok I'll just have some eggs of that's alright?" I ask her.
"Of course that's ok, you dont need to ask permission here to eat." She says looking at me strangely.
I nod and sit down and she brings me a large plate of eggs she made, in go to take a bite and realize Connie is standing nearby.
"Have you eaten yet Connie?"
"Yes dear I ate earlier before zander even."
I nod and take a bite of eggs and oh my goddess are they ever delicious! I eat a couple more bites and start to feel a little nauseous, probably because I haven't eaten breakfast in years and now I have eaten dinner the night before and breakfast this morning. I push the plate away and tell Connie the eggs were really good but that I'm full. I hand her the plate and she gives me a curious look.
"I'm glad you like them but are you sure your full?" She asks giving me a look.
"Yes I'm full, I dont eat breakfast in the morning usually." I say. "Oh where is Zander?"
"Oh he went to work early and told me to show you your room today and show you around the house today since he won't be back until late tonight." She says looking at me.
"Oh ok, thank you." I say a little sad.
I thought that he wanted to share a room but now he doesn't? What changed, did I take up too much of the bed last night or did I say something in my sleep. I knew it would be to good to be true I thought he was beginning to like me and wanted to try the marriage thing between us but I guess I was wrong. Who would want to be married to me anyway, I'm fat and ugly and Zander probably wanted to continue dating thin girls and being with them. I guess what he said last night was something he didn't mean. I try not to cry as my wolf Ash sobs and won't be comforted, she thinks like I do our mate dosent want us. And he will never want us.
