Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
67

The next day, Elios had Graean prepare Sanya for the bridal chamber, performing his duties as Elios' wife.

Elios kept his blindfold on, sitting on the front sofa of the bed until the door opened, revealing a tiny girl from his silhouette.

Sanya. If he is really Abkariza, it is certain that he deliberately came here for a certain purpose.

But what's the problem is he after? What could she accomplish by becoming Elios' wife?

"It's Sanya, Young Master." The sweet girl told herself who she was.

"Sure, Sweet." Elios smiled a little. "Come here. I've been waiting."

"Good."

Sanya approached Elios' open hand, as a gesture for him to enter into the embrace on his lap.

The girl's body felt very small and crisp. It made Elios guess that Sanya was the kind of girl who made her husband feel like a sister.

The smell of his body was soft childish, not tempting like Mariana or Roxanne.

"Your body is very small, Sanya." Elios rubbed his waist gently. "You eat well, right? Did the waiter not bring you food?"

"I don't like to eat" replied the boy sweetly.

"really?"

"Yes, Young Master."

Elios put his chin on Sanya's shoulder, for a moment just silently hugging the little girl.

Deep in Elios' heart, he felt he could not be excited at all. Though usually Elios can at least be affected by the scent of the girl, even though it is Roxanne who he hates or Mariana who he thinks is not attractive.

Is it because of Abkariza? I keep thinking about that.

"Many."

"Yes, Young Master?"

"I wonder why a sweet girl like you is my wife."

"What do you mean?"

"What kind of family dumped you?" elios whispered, pretending not to know anything about Sanya.

He knew from Daniel that this child was not cast out. He had a very fine family, so if it was Abkariza whom Elios thought of, then Sanya had come of her own accord.

Brought Sanya's hand to her lips, a soft peek but honestly not interested at all.

Abkariza's name is more disturbing to me than I thought, Elios thought secretly.

"What cruelty do you get from your family, to the extent that it wants to be sold to Mother? Tell me."

Elios certainly guessed what the answer was. It could be that he will string up a lie about his family, whether as small as the story he gets secretly violent or even he lies not having a family.

"I live under this hill, Young Master."

From behind his eye-cloth ties, Elios opened his eyes in surprise.

The hill. Elios Castle is indeed standing in the hills and can be said to be in the far corner. Therefore to come here, using a helicopter is much easier than driving.

However, Elios did not expect that Sanya came from around the castle.

"I didn't think about it. So what is the cause?"

"So you didn't hear it? The news about you is talked about quite often in my place." Sanya spoke very calmly.

Because of his calm, Elios could not catch the shudder even though he was sitting on Elios' lap.

"It's not just me, there are a lot of people in the foothills hoping to marry you. Because in this city people think you're the richest man."

"Rumors also say you're very handsome, smart guy owner of a big company and the rest. So even if people say you have a lot of wives, it doesn't detract from your charm at all."

Hmmmm, so that's it.

"In other words, you married me because I'm handsome, rich and smart?"

"Yes, Young Master. I don't want to marry someone who doesn't have those three things. And I'm not sorry even if you haven't seen me in seven months."

The reason is simpler. She also made it sound naive as if she was just a stupid girl.

But Elios did not consider him innocent because even from the voice was clear Sanya did not hesitate.

The girl who sits on the lap of the man, her body rubbed and talked to by the man she said dreamt of her but her voice was instead like no care—Elios had to be stupid to believe she was completely innocent.

"So, in short, you like me, Sanya?"

The girl was silent.
