Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
60

"Why are you smiling?" roxanne asked annoyed that Arkas was not clear.

She came two days after Roxanne left a message to the brash man, and for the first time Roxanne felt a little free from Elios.

Huh! It was hard breathing around Elios whose mind Roxanne could not read. Roxanne always tries to remember that Elios is not a gentleman and he is just acting, so whenever Elios is warm, Roxanne is overwhelmed.

"Please don't smile like that at me. You make me unable to breathe."

The crisp laugh. "No. I'm just happy to see you enjoying your time with Elios."

Roxanne's gaze suddenly died. "You think that's funny?"

"sure." Arkas smiled happily. "I love all the women in my care, including my foolish sister's wives."

"Dreaming, huh?"

"Done." Arkas held out a jewelry box suddenly. "Take it. These earrings and necklaces are specially made for you. As a congratulation."

Roxanne took it in confusion. "Happy top?"

"Why are you asking the obvious? Of course it survived because it survived even though Elios was so annoying."

Ah, it seems that it does need a lot of congratulations because it is very heavy. But, should it?

"You want to tell me, after all, you love me sincerely as a sister-in-law?"

"Little girl, why do you keep questioning the obvious?"

That's not clear at all! So Roxanne asked!

What kind of affection would trap Roxanne with a psychopath like Elios? After all, after dealing with that Elios, Arkas thought Roxanne believed in such a stupid thing of affection?

Their affection was only for Eirene.

"The first son is the leader above the leader" Arkas said, smilingly watching Roxanne's countenance. "Roxanne, my sweet sister-in-law, before I was born, everyone was already preparing for my birth."

Why suddenly?

"Before I was born, the pattern of education, the purpose of life, the norms, the customs, everything was prepared for me. I'm a special person."

"I have to hold my sisters, the Narendras, who are proud humans until they sometimes forget themselves."

Roxanne's stunned.

Did ya?

No, it must not be true. Why would Roxanne believe that shit? Elios killed his wife and strangled Roxanne repeatedly.

This guy too. Because he punished Elios, Roxanne was avoided even by Diane.

What is affection.

"The greediest of possessions and powers can miss love." Arkas propped up his chin, looking heartfelt pensive. "I have six wonderful wives. Two of my wives were about to kill each other for wanting to become Narendra's First Lady, and the rest of them often made trouble for their own greed."

"But, in the end, they're happy if I indulge them. They are satisfied if I let them sit on my lap, or hug me, or I accompany them on a boat ride on the lake."

"You or whoever it is, I feel the same. Regardless of anything, you want affection."

"Stop insulting me" Roxanne tepis.

"Dignores? So you think wanting love is a weakness? How arrogant." Arkas patted the empty spot on his side, gesturing for Roxanne to move there.

But Roxanne didn't move.

Arkas kept smiling, silent, smiling, until Roxanne finally gave up.

In the end Roxanne moved on, sitting next to the man.

Roxanne glared at Arkas who rubbed his head. He thought he would do this!

"Elios went crazy because he lost Eirene's affection." Arkas rubbed Roxanne like he thought she was a real sister.

"Of course I didn't say you had to excuse that stupid kid. Only, even Elios or I love affection. That's why you and anyone are the same. Humans are such creatures."

"...."

"Don't I tell you at the beginning? I want you to take Elios' heart. Don't you need to be a little more sincere?"

Roxanne didn't know why she was pouting like a child. "I mean I have to fall in love first for that crazy person to fall in love?"

"Yes, I can't." Arkas answered with great sadness. "But my main point is, don't be afraid of being eaten by Elios's game, you don't let yourself have fun."

Roxanne's eyes only stared fixedly at Arkas' nosy expression.
