The Duke's wife.

" Selene", wake up we have arrived .

I woke up to my new husband waking me up from sleep l don't even know how l fell asleep.

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at my husband.

We have arrived at the estate.

He brought his hands forward and l accepted it to get out of the carriage.

The servants were lined up to welcome us home .

Welcome home Duke and duchess. She had gained two new titles from this marriage, she was now the duchess and a princess of Biville kingdom.

She accepted their greetings with a nod while a middle aged tall lean man approached them.

Duke , duchess he bowed.

Selene, this is the butler of the estate he will take care of your needs around the estate and If you need anything just ask him .

I nooded slowly observing the butler who worked for my husband.

Damon looks so cold and hard to approach but his bluter was the opposite. He had a genuine smile on his face unlike his master.

I had to get used to my husband's demeanor since we would be living together from now on wards .

" Deby" . Take the duchess's belongings to her room and draw her a warm bath.

The butler Xavier said to one of the servants.

"Selene" .

Damon called me softly.

Let Xavier show you to our room , I have something to finish up before l join you.

I nodded slowly and followed the Butler .

Duchess this is your bedroom and the room across this one is the duke's room where he sleeps on some days.

I wondered, won't we be sleeping together. But then l remembered this was an arranged marriage and maybe the prince didn't want it either. I just hope my life becomes better here.

Deby and Mary will be your personal handmaids. You can call them at any time .

Thank you Xavier.

My pleasure duchess . Should we bring your dinner here . Xavier asked .

Actually l wasn't hungry and l didn't know if it was because the decorations in the room reminded me that their is a wedding night.

I wasn't ready but now am his wife . I always wanted to marry for love but now my dreams flew out of the window.

Duchess , the bath is ready. I was still getting used to the new title.

I sank me whole body into the warm water to ease my nervousness about the wedding night while the maids washed me properly for my husband.

Duchess , this is a special oil that will help ease the pain later on . The maid Mary said as she poured it into the water . Just hearing what she said meant it was very painful.

Is it truly very painful as people say. I got the courage to ask the maids .

My Lady , from my own experience it is painful for a few minutes but it will be better because the pleasure that will come after will overwhelm you. Mary said.

Ohhh . That's all l could say trying to process everything. Mary seemed to be the elder and experienced one compared to Deby would looked young and innocent .

My Lady , do you want us to style your hair in a specific way. Mary asked.

Currently l was sitting in front of the large mirror wearing a red silk night dress with a low neckline that shown part of my cleavage with silver embroidery at the front and sleeves.

No , just let it loose .

Okay my Lady .

Have a good night my Lady. The two maids said as they stepped out.

I was left with my thoughts all alone as l looked at the large bed at the center of the room.

Red flower petals scattered on the bed and the floor .

Candles were the only source of light luminating the room.

The smell was pleasant and l loved flowers since l was young .

I moved towards the bed as l waited for Damon to join me .

My nervousness increasing every second.

As the door creaked open
