Octavia's POV

I promise it wasn't intentional to strike Refael with such a harsh statement.

I saw the tear leave his eye as I referred to Leonardo as my husband. 

But what should he be regretting? He left me for someone else with zero explanations.

"Come back to me."

As I exited my thoughts and stared at the man I married yesterday, I regret nothing. Hell, I'd marry him again and again. 

It was his idea to give the Koch family a surprise visit.

"I'm always here with you," I said.

"Always?" he asked.

I nodded.

"As long as you'll have me."

He pulled me into his embrace.

"I know we got married on the basis of revenge, but you'll have to kill me to divorce me," he said, laughing.

I gave him a cruel smile.

"Really? I always wanted to commit murder."

He leaned forward and kissed me.

"Gosh when you talk like that, it's so sexy," he whispered.

Self control Octavia.

Which was kinda hard. He was dressed casually, with a blue shirt and black jeans. His hair was kinda messy.

It made me want to see if I could mess it up even more.

"Alright baby, focus," he said, "so what's the next move?"

My heart did a little jump at being called baby.

Ignoring it, I focused on the task at hand.

Dinah.

When I first met her, I saw her as demure, just like most kids that come from old money.

But she is a monster.

The things she has done are despicable. I'm sure she is still doing most of those things.

She disgusts me.

The fact that she could look me in the eye, knowing damned well that she murdered my brother is chilling. Usually, humans have a conscience.

She is her father's child in every sense of the word.

A female Kane Koch.

She needed to be stopped.

"Our next move," I said, "is a simple one."

"And that is...?"

"Why Leo, we wait."

He pouted.

"That's so lame. I thought this vengeance thing would be fun."

I laughed.

"Listen. I know that girl. She's probably plotting to separate us. She may even try to injure me or better yet, kill me. I've-"

He didn't let me finish before crushing me into his embrace.

"You're too casual about this. I'd like to see her try hurting you. I'll hurt her. That is a promise."

My heart swelled at his words.

I pulled away.

"Let's not deny reality Leo," I said,  "You know she won't harm a hair on your head."

"I know, baby, I know. I can't say the same for her."

He glanced at his watch.

"What do you want us to do today?" he asked.

I smiled.

"Piss Dinah off."

He smiled.

"We did that already."

I sighed.

"Yeah, you're right. I don't know."

He laughed.

"We could go back home and then I'll take you out on a date tonight. How does that sound?"

I beamed.

"Perfect."

***************************************

As soon as we got home, I zoomed past Leo and headed into our room.

I had turned my phone off because all sorts of people were calling and texting me to find out details about my marriage to Leo. I now possessed verified accounts on all social media platforms and my followers increased tremendously.

It was so weird.

That wasn't the worry at hand.

I needed to get ready for our date.

I was about to head for the closet when Leo entered our room.

With one swift movement, he tackled me onto our bed.

I kicked underneath him.

"Get off me you big dummy!" I yelled.

He snickered.

"Relax babe, it's 10 in the morning. We're going out tonight. We have time."

Before I could ask him what he meant, he rolled over, pulling me with him. He grabbed a remote on the nightstand and pressed a button. Suddenly, the lights were dimmed and the curtains were drawn. It was very cold.

I looked at him and he merely smirked at me.

"Go put a hoodie on, let's cuddle."

I noticed that he had changed into a T-shirt and sweatpants.

Grey sweatpants.

I shook my head.

"Leo, I have to plan a hairstyle-"

"Shh," he said, placing a finger on my lips, "it's good to be prepared. However, it's still morning and I'm a newlywed man. I wanna cuddle with my wife."

I rolled my eyes and he pouted.

"Please?"

I groaned.

Why did he have to be so damned adorable?

"Fine, but only because you said please."

I went into the closet, grabbed a yellow hoodie and headed to the bathroom. I showered again, before putting the hoodie on.

I was about to get my bonnet to cover my head when Leo pulled me onto the bed, throwing the comforter over me.

"Boy, if my hair gets dry I'm blaming you!" I scolded.

We were under the comforter. It was really dark.

Then a dim light came on.

This idiot had a little flashlight on and let it lay between us.

"I wanna cuddle and look at this little light illuminate your melanin caressed face."

I chuckled.

I know it was supposed to be sweet, but it made me laugh.

"Don't say things like that," I said.

I took the time to look at him. His eyes held this fascinating glow. His hair looked glossy, almost like a halo. 

I was in awe.

"You're a jackass," I whispered.

He laughed.

"You married a jackass," he whispered.

"I don't mind."

"I'm glad you married me."

I shook my head.

"Give it five years, you won't be saying that."

"In five years we'll have a child."

I laughed.

"Yeah right."

He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer to him. He held both of my hands and kissed it.

"I'm serious Octavia."

I gave him a lazy smile.

"Yeah and I'm Hit-"

He grabbed me by the neck.

I felt heat travelling in two different places. 

"Leo," I whimpered.

He smirked and leaned towards my ear.

"Make no mistake, I'm giving you the year to get to know me. But when that year elapses, on our one year wedding anniversary, I will make you hit notes you never thought you were capable of.  I won't stop until you're begging for more and incapable of forming a coherent thought. Am I clear?"

Oh my Lord.

I whimpered, my legs trembling.

"Octavia..." he growled.

"Very clear," I whispered.

He let go of my neck and smiled at me.

"Good girl."

I could have died in that moment.

And the bastard had the audacity to laugh.

"You-"

"You have a lot to learn about me Octavia. Fact number 1, I love being in charge. Especially  in the bedroom."

I gulped.

What a long year this will be.

It's as if he has his own agenda.

To sexually frustrate me.

Fucking hell.

*********************************************

So I'm at work.

Feeling a bit empty but that's alright.

I will not be doing any updates this Friday.

It'll just wind up being sad.

Anywhores, hope you love it.
