Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
Love Me, My Wife

"Roxanne's." As he climbed to the surface in the afternoon, Elios came to the shore where his wives were grey, descending from the boat.

The name of his thirteenth wife was spoken by Elios who now had another blindfold on.

"Yes, Young Master." Roxanne held Daniel's hand as she descended before hurriedly approaching Elios. "I'm here."

"You guys enjoying your day?" elios asked softly as he reached out to Roxanne.

"Yes, Young Master. Too bad we couldn't help more today."

"There are many servants and my brother's other wives will also do the rest later. You guys should go back downstairs and rest."

Elios gently rubbed their heads and smiled. "Only, I need to talk to Roxanne alone now. Can you guys go first?"

"Sure, Young Master. We're fine."

All of Elios' wives smiled sweetly at Roxanne as if they did not feel the slightest jealousy. That kind gesture was a bit unfamiliar but Roxanne tried to smile back.

They are happy that they appreciate each other.

"Sister, see you later. Sanya go first."

"Yes. Go to bed early."

"Good." Sanya followed the steps of the others and spoke familiarly with them.

Roxanne watched them further and further before turning to Elios. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Not anything serious." Elios rubbed Roxanne's arm. "Your hands don't hurt doing this, do they? Do not force yourself if you cannot. Tell me."

"I'm fine." Roxanne smile. "It's fun because it turns out they're more normal."

"Normal?"

Roxanne means, from the beginning she thought everything around her was not normal. Especially since Elios' wife. But then they showed if it turned out they were the same.

You can gossip and talk about good looks. Roxanne likes normalcy.

"If it were such a thing, everyone here could do it." Elios put his hand on the top of Roxanne's head, rubbing darling. "They're your friends. I was the one who made them awkward and afraid to blend in, but now they can behave as they are. So don't hesitate to get them to talk about anything."

"Okay, Young Master."

"Come on. There's something I want to show you."

Roxanne blinked curiously. But he did not ask and followed Elios. They walked along the edge of a vast lake that had always been covered by a super giant tent—tenda which was very large in number.

Elios reached out once more to Roxanne, leading her to sit down.

"Young Master?"

"I asked them to prepare a place to eat with you. Think of it as a date" Elios said.

Roxanne blinked unexpectedly.

"Now close your eyes. There's something I want to give you."

Although Roxanne's shock was still great, she closed her eyes according to Elios. His heart thumped as he felt Elios' hands encircling his body.

There was something Elios put around his neck.

"Open your eyes" whispered Elios.

Roxanne opened her eyes when she looked down. Her lips trembled to find a simple little necklace but it was adorned by a red diamond.

"This ...."

"Red diamonds are the highest symbol of love in Narendra. This is only given to special people among the wives of Narendra." Elios grabs Roxanne's hand, kisses her gently. "I love you, my wife."

Roxanne's breath feels blocked.

He doesn't know what to respond to. Her tears seemed to be coming out but also her body was hot and stiff.

"Why ...." Why Roxanne? Doesn't he hate Roxanne?

"You taught me something very valuable, Roxanne." Elios hugged his body from behind. "You know how to hate me, openly and right in front of my face."

"...."

"I live like a prince. Never mind hating me, someone who was even told to love me. Like Graean. That woman didn't know me. Not in the least. But he was ordered to marry me and love me. He did it because he grew up on it."

"...."

"But, Roxanne, you're different. You hate me, you're angry with me, you see my flaws and you don't just follow orders. Gradually, I realized that's sincerity."

Elios directed Roxanne's face to turn around and wipe her tears while smiling sincerely.

"Love me too, my wife. Please." Please."
