Aemilia was overjoyed when it was time to leave all this behind, her mother was after the cake cutting on a power trip. How did Sebastian dare to go against her wises, he was not the one paying for all of this. And so on and so forth. She did not stop even when Aemilia took her aside and told her that Sebastian did that, because she hated strawberries. It only added fuel to the fire. So she was glad that he was taking her away on a small honeymoon, a day relaxing in the spa, getting a madi-padi. Together with Sebastian, it seemed to her like a dream. They got into his car and drove off.
"I am so sorry about my mother." She said. "She is just a bit sour because..."
"I am not my brother and not the firstborn who will inherit my father's company." Sebastian said and he sighed. "I know she made that pretty clear to me, right after the ceremony. But like I said back then. My family sees me the same way, so my shark-in-law." She started to giggle, shark-in-law that was a funny way to describe her mother. But she was his mother-in-law after all and she herself described her mother as a shark, so it made in a way sense.
'May I ask why you booked a honeymoon?" She asked, her parents were the once who said that they didn't need one. Because they just knew each other.
"I do not see why we would not go on a short trip to know each other, without people butting in. Which I am sure now your mother would, I will bet that she is now standing in front of my house. And telling everybody who wants to hear it or not how small it is." He said. She nodded, that sounded like her mother. He had figured her out after one day, that was impressive. "And I really think that we need to charge up for the battles to come. My dad will urge use to get children as soon as we can, your mother would do anything in her power to break us up. Creating fake old girlfriends, make me jaulouse with an old boyfriend or a crush off yours. My brother might come back to claim you." She looked at him.
"Were do you get those theories from?" She asked.
"Chinese dramas." He replied. "There always happens something, like I mentioned before. Which leads to misunderstanding and drama." She nodded and giggled.
"So you are a fan of Chinese dramas, who would have guessed." She said and she sighed. "I always heard they were good." He simply shrugged and looked at her. His stormy gray eyes and black hair made him quite handsome, she never would have guessed that he would be such a gentleman. So fare he has been upfront with her, and now he told something personal about himself. Except how her in-laws saw him. She wondered if this was all an act, but what would she do if it was all an act. They were married now, well there was always divorce. But would her father except that? Of course, he would, she was his princess and if Sebastian would mistreat her than he would be the first to back her up. Once again she looked at him, he was driving at the speed limit. Not over not under, so he was following the rules of the road to the letter. According to her father that said a lot about a person. He kept his eyes on the road and often checked his mirrors. There was not much traffic and the car was comfortable. It was not the latest model, something her mother had a fit over, but her father told her that it was a reliable car. Aemilia sighed, what he said about their future might be true. Especially that about her mother, she will find ways to break them up. Or at least she would try, but is what good to know that Sebastian said fake past girlfriends. So he never dated, or he had dated only nothing serious. "So did you have girlfriends in the past?"
"Not in those terms, I have been on dates. Forced by my father, I had some flings. But none of them led to anything serious. I slept with a few, but again nothing serious grew between use. But before you ask if one of them might come back with a child by her side, the answer is no. I kept taps on them for a year, only one got a child during that period of time and I requested a paternity test. The mother refused at first, but after telling her that I only wanted to know if the child was mine and that I would not judge her. But the child was not mine, still the father did not want the child. So I supported her and the child for a while, until she got married to a cousin of mine. Now her lovely daughter is a part of my family." He said. "And you?" She shook her head.
"Although I am not a virgin, does that bother you?" She asked and this time he shook his head. "It was during collage, I studied Gemology, and a party. You can say that I was in a rebellious phase, which only lasted until that night. I do not even know his name, and I do not remember his face." She said, and this was the honest truth. He smiled at her and she gave him a smile back. "Do you hate your brother for bouncing?" She asked, and Sebastian shook his head.
"I do not hate my brother, in some ways I do understand why he did it. He is going to be a father, and he needs to be there for the child and its mother. But why did he need to wait until the last possible moment? On the other hand if he had done it sooner my father would have found ways to find him and drag him back towards the altar." He replied. She giggled, she had only met his father during the wedding and there they had not spoken about much. But she believed Sebastian on his word. "Once we are back and we visit my father, you will hear a lot about him. The only thing my father has to say about me is how I killed my mother, which is bull. She died during childbirth." She looked at him, that was, well beyond sad. "O yeah, there is one other thing that you want to know. I do work for my father, and I am very good at my job. But there is a possibility that I will get sacked when my brother takes over. That is why I have a little start-up. It is legate and stuff, but that means that I have a lot of work." That was indeed good to know, when her mother finds about this she would throw it in their faces. "Once we get home I will show you the papers and I will show you were the company is." She nodded once again.
"Thank you for telling me this." She said.
"You are my wife, you have a right to know."

They stopped in front of a large hotel. One valet took the car, while another took their bags out of the trunk. None of the bags was something she owned, but she had the feeling that one or two of those were for her. The lobby of the hotel was grand, just as grand as the hotel her family owned.

"Good evening, sir and madam." Said the desk employee. "Do you have a reservation?"
"We sure have, Colevile." Sebastian said and he fished all the documents out of a plastic bag.
"O yes, the honeymoon suite and a smaller room on the same floor." The desk employee replied. "Well this is the cards to your rooms and this is the lay-out of the hotel. The elevators are on the right, the valet will bring the bags to the respective room." Sebastian left the desk with a hand full. She quickly took some things off of him. He thanked her, what else was she supposed to do? Leave him hanging. The elevator shot up and it was a mater of seconds to arrive at the right floor. Sebastian looked at the information.
"E01 is the honeymoon suite and my room is E07 is my room." He said and he pointed towards the rooms. He gave her the card of room E01 and kept the other one. "Get some rest, I will wake you up for breakfast." He walked towards his room and entered. She did the same thing but then in her own room. The honeymoon suite was decorated with swans, and the rose pedals on the floor were pink. On the bed were two towels folded like swans, in the middle of pink rose peddles in a heart shape. A bucket with champagne was standing next to the bed. The bathroom was spacious, and there was a small shelf that hold the bathroom supplies. Soap, bath salt, rose paddles, shampoo and conditioner. There was a knock on the door she rushed towards it and opened the door. It was the valet with two bags.
"Here are your bags, madam." He said. "Also I am here to inform you that the bottle of champagne is not a bottle of champagne. It is a bottle of apple cider." She thanked the man and apologized that she was not able to give him a tip. But she did not have any cash on her. Which he seemed to understand, still she felt guilty. She zipped open the bags. One of them was filled with new cloths, all in her size which was impressive. But no new underwear, or swimwear. She might be able to buy those tomorrow, understanding why he did not dare to go into that territory. She quickly walked towards the bathroom and opened the tap with warm water. Adding some salt and peddles, but there was another knock on the door. She opened it and a woman stood on the other side holding a couple of shopping bags.
"Hello madam, I am a personal shopper and your new husband has hired me to select some under-, swim- and a night wear for you. He did not have your measurements, so I selected some things on the hand of your clothes sizes." The woman said. A personal shopper, and a female one. This man had a solution for everything. "I am glad to see that I have some pieces that would fit you perfectly." The woman motioned if she could come in.
"Oh sure, sorry you surprised me that is all." Aemilia said.
"Which is understandable. And I applaud your man's solution to this. Instead of just guessing, hire something who has knowledge of this kind of thing." The woman said. "I am Morgan Colevil by the way. I believe he already told you about me." Aemilia looked at her, was this the woman with the child. "He took care of me when the father of my daughter bailed on use. I am also the only one, besides my daughter who will speak well of him. Just a warning. Just to be clear, I do not have any romantic feelings for him. He is a nice guy, who stepped up. But I am only thankful for what he did." Aemilia smiled at the woman.
"Oh the bath." She rused towards the bathroom and turned of the water. "He has indeed told me about you, and I am glad that we are able to meet."
"Good, now what are the messermenst of your BH's?" Morgan said. Aemilia gave her the information and Morgan started to fish some pieces out of the bags. Aemilia tried them on inside the bathroom, over the underwear she was already wearing. "Alright, then I will Sebastian about our sucess." Morgan said when they were done. She grabbed the pieces that did not fit in a bag.
"Wait, I have some apple cider, and two glasses. Maybe we can chat for a while." Aemilia asked. She really wanted to know this woman better. Morgan looked at her nodded.
"I think I already know the topic, but sure." Morgan replied. Aemilia grabbed the glasses and the cider. "Alright were to begin, Sebastian and I met during a blind date. Which was set up by his father and my parents. And to keep them off our backs we decided to date a bit longer, one drunk night we were intement and we broke things off a month after that. But he kept in contact and asked how I was doing. He already told me that he did this with the other two women as well. To make sure that he was not being jumped on with a child, which back then I did not really understand. Now I do. But I got pregant, and he asked for a test. I thought at first that he accused me, but when he assured me over and over that this was not the case. I took the test and it became clear that he was not the father of my daughter. Only the father of the child dumped me and wanted nothing to do with my daughter. So Sebastian took my daughter and me in. For a while, so that he could help with the baby. Taking the night shifts, so that I could sleep and take care of her in the morning." Morgan sighed. "As if she was thinking back towards it. "He did so much for me, but there was nothing romantic between use. But one day we went to the park where I met his widowed cousin, and from on e thing came the other. Now I am happily married to John, we have a son together and he is a wonderful father to Cindy, my daughter. John is sometimes a bit jealous of Sebastian because of the time we shared, but he changes his tune, when I remind him that Sebastian was there when Cindy and I needed him and my own family dropped me." She took a sip of the cider. "He is really a nice guy. And he will move heaven and earth for you when you earn his trust, but winning his trust is not as easy as you might think. This is because of his entire, my hubby included family." Aemilia nodded and looked at the bags with clothes. Was he not moving heaven and earth for her now, he didn't need to buy all of these and she would happily pay him back. "Maybe she will bring that up, during breakfast. "He also those not like favors, he believes in paying someone for their work. I would have shopped for you for free, but that man of yours didn't let me. He even didn't except a discount. So do not even think about saying you will pay him back." Aemilia smiled, but then sighed.
"Thank you for that, so let me spill the tea a bit about my family." She said and she started to tell about her life, her one-night stand and her opening a jewelry store.
"Wait what your store is working with Daniel Velvet?" Morgan asked, Aemilia nodded and showed Morgan her wedding ring.
"This was the wedding band of his latest collection. I would not go as far as to say that we are friends, but we studied together. I only now sell the items he creates." Aemilia said.
"What is your store's name?" Morgan asked.
"Jeweled Rose." Aemilia said and Morgan nodded, stretched out her hand.
"Well cousin, I will be in your store often, one of my clients is bashing me to get some of his pieces. But I couldn't find them anywhere, besides that I love spending time with you." Morgan said, she took her phone out. "Oh, heavens. Is that the time. Well let me note this down, here is my number. So give me a call when you are back, I will jump by." Morgan waved at her and then rushed out of the room. Aemilia smiled at the now closed door, she knew that her bath water was cold, but she was going for a bath anyway.
