But then I do something that surprises both of us. I close my eyes, leaned in a little farther and placed a gentle, soft kiss on his lips. Beforeeven any of us had time to comprehend what we were doing, I kissed him again. This time, a little more eagerly.

At first he doesn't react at all. Then slowly he starts moving his lips against nine. I stand on my toes a little to deepen the kiss, running my tongue along his bottom lip.

My heartbeat became rapid as his hands slowly encase my waist and I open my mouth. His tongue explores my mouth and he moans low in his throat, I press my body towards him again, needing to feel every inch of his body on my skin.

"Well Well Well isn't this a beautiful sight." I hear a familiar voice disturbing us.

Shivers run up my spine as he breaks the kiss, breathless.

I pant with him, pressing my hand against his shoulder.

Moments later I turn around and see Jeanine was standing outside our room with a huge smirk plastered on her face.

She slowly enters inside without breaking the eye contact.

"What the hell are you doing here? Who gave you permission to come in my room?" Four shouts at her, looking totally pissed off.

"Come on Tobias. I am your mother and mothers don't need permission to enter in her son's room." Jeanine answers.

"Mrs. Eaton, I would like to remind you clearly that you are not my mother. My mom died a long time ago. So stop doing this drama and get out of here." Four says.

"Come on Four don't start this same old arguement at least in front of your lovely wife. She won't like seeing her husband and mother-in-law fighting like this." she says.

"Mrs Eaton go back to your husband. I am sure he might need you more than us. So stop bothering us." Four says.

"Okay only if you insist then I won't disturb you two anymore since I've already saw how much busy you two were before I accidentally disturbed you." she says and goes towards the door.

"Ah and one more thing." Jeanine says turning around.

"Beatrice I am kind of glad that your sister run way from the wedding. I am sure if she hadn't run away then you guys won't get married and this whole situation won't be as interesting as it is now." she finishes and goes out of our room.

"She wasn't supposed to be seeing us like this.

You shouldn't have done this in front of her."

he accuses, turning his face away from me.

Really? So this is how low he thinks of me. He thinks that I kissed him only to show Jeanine. Suddenly I feel tears in my eyes. I feel angry. Not on him. I feel angry at myself for kissing him. I should have never show him that I still love and care for him. Because he will never value or chairish it like before. I am that same old Tris but he's not my Four anymore. Like always I should've just kept my feelings hidden. Right now I am feeling incredibly guilty, even though he did kissed me back and could've easily push me away if he intended to. Now that he's accusing me like this I decide to advantage of the situation and ask "Why wasn't she supposed to see us Four? I mean this is why I am here right? To prove to your father that we are happily married. Since she saw us kissing today then I am sure she'll tell your father and he'll be very happy to see us working on this marriage which will work on your favour at the end right? So why are you being so angry?" I ask.

He looks at me as if he has taken aback by my words.

"Tris I don't mean it like that. You..."

"No. Mr. Tobias Eaton. Don't say that I am misunderstanding your words. Because I am not. Just because our marriage is real in the papers that doesn't mean we have accepted each other as husband and wife as well. I am sorry that I forget it. I am sorry for crossing the line today. I am sorry that I got carried away and kissed you. I promise it won't happen again." I say.

"Tris I..." he couldn't finish as his phone rings.

"Don't waste your time on me Tobias. Answer your phone." I say, giving him a sad smile. He grabs his phone, walking out of the room.

I change my dress and lies on the bed. I hear footsteps coming towards me. I close my eyes and pretend that I am asleep.

I feel someone sits next to me. Than he holds my cheek and I immediately recognise his touch. Its Four.

"I am sorry. I know you think that I blamed you for kissing me. But trust me I didn't. I can't tell you how much happy I was when we kissed. It feels like a dream. The most beautiful dream of my life. But as usual it didn't last longer. Jeanine came and ruined it. But at least one good thing happened. You said you would stay away from me. As long as you stay away from me, Markus and Jeanine wouldn't harm you. After 6 months all of this will be over once and for all. You'll be free from this marriage and live your life the fullest and I'll kill Markus and Jeanine for hurting mom and Sarah." Four finishes, kissing my cheeks and forehead.

When he's gone, I turn around and run my fingers through my hair. My cheeks are on fire, I feel it. I can't contain this grin on my face. My cheeks are tingling slightly from where he just touched.

I blush, trying to catch my breath. He said he's happy that I kissed him. My face as flushes as butterflies erupt in my stomach. I should've gave him a chance to explain himself instead of assuming thinks already in my head.

Suddenly I hear the bathroom door opens and Four comes out changing his cloths.

I quickly lie back and close my eyes.

He slowly making his way back to me and kisses my forehead and whispers, " Goodnight my little blond fairy."

Then he turns the lights off and lie next to me.

I turn around and smile softly at him in the darkness. Then I put my hands out against his waist, holding him close to me tightly.

A few minutes later I feel him wrapped his arms around me as well.

How did I get myself into this mess?


I look at Four as he is getting ready for office. Its been two weeks since that incident. Four is ignoring me like before. That one kiss made everything weird between us again.

I don't know how to end this awkward silence between us.

"Tris?" I hear a voice, breaking my chain of thoughts.

I look at Four who is tying his watch on his hand.

Did he just called me? Nope he isn't talking with me for straight two weeks. Maybe I just imagined his voice.

"Tris what are you thinking?" Four says again.

"Did you really called my name?" I say to make sure its real this time, not my imagination.

"Yes I am calling your name. Why are you so shocked about it?" he asks.

"Nothing. Actually we haven't talked with each other since the last two weeks. That's why I was a little bit surprised." I say.

He nods at me.

"I want you to get ready." he says.

"Are we going somewhere?" I ask.

"Yeah we are going to office ." he answers.

"Why? I mean what will I do in your office?" I ask.

"Tris, I think you've forget the fact that you're 50% owner of the Eaton Industries. So there are some projects that need your signature for approval. That's why you coming to there with me." he says.

"Alright." I say.
