Married To A Powerful Domineering Billionaire

Yet another Shopping

RAYNE’S POV

My eyes bulged open when Eric introduced the girl as his sister, and I couldn’t help but face-palm myself inwardly. I had really been boiling all hot for nothing. The thought of it made me embarrassed and I felt my cheeks turning red.

“Hello! I’m Rayne.” I said to her, offering my hand in a handshake and she grabbed my wrist and pulled me in for a hug. She seemed excited and I wondered why.

“We are looking to change her wardrobe, from comfort to sophistication. All of it.” Eric said and I turned to him in surprise.

“Mmm…” Hearing Ann mutter, I turned to face her. “I know what you’d like, come,” she pulled me along with her to a dressing room. “What are you shopping for, dresses or comfort day to day clothes? I’d get you the best things.”

When we finished shopping, the chauffeur drove us back home, and during the short ride, I could only wonder how every one of Eric’s family members got to be so nice to me. I had expected them to be the opposite of all they had shown me lately, just as it was in novels. We drove past a dress shop and I couldn’t help but admire a purple two-piece cotton short and top. It was beautiful and totally simple.

After we returned home, Elaina and I went through the dresses we had shopped for together.

“Wow!” She exclaimed. “These are beautiful.”

I shrugged. “They’re also complicated,” I murmured, staring especially at a black strapless maxi dress with a long slit that traveled up to the thighs.

“Girl, that dress is worth a fortune. It’s the last one of its kind available in the whole world. I’d cherish it if I were you.” She said,

I sat on the bed and listened on and on as she mentioned each dress and its designer.

Guess it’s one of the advantages of being a model.

My phone rang on the bed and I picked it up. At first glance at the unknown number, I wondered who it was. And in the third ring, I answered the call.

“Hello, Rayne dear.” A female voice said sweetly from the phone. It sounded faintly familiar. “It’s Mrs. Lawn, Eric’s mother.”

That’s right, she sounded like Mrs. Lawn.

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Lawn,” I said simply. I didn’t know what else to call her.

“Good afternoon dear. How is my beautiful daughter-in-law doing?”

“I’m fine, thank you,” I replied.

“The Lawn women are going shopping tomorrow and I’d like my new daughter-in-law to come along, so you’ll get to know your husband’s family better. And you can come with Elaina as well.”

Yet another shopping? I looked at the bags of clothes we had already gotten today. I didn’t think I needed any more clothes. I mean, I hadn’t even worn the ones Eric got for me.

“Ehhh…” I stuttered a bit. “Eric and I already shopped today…”

“That’s nonsense! A woman never gets enough clothes. You’ll know that soon, dear.” She said, “The time is 10:00 AM tomorrow, okay dear?”

“Okay, Mrs. Lawn.”

“I look forward to seeing you two tomorrow.” She said and hung up.

I turned to look at Elaina and saw her staring at me.

“Mrs. Lawn wants us to go shopping with them tomorrow.”

“A family shopping, that’s awesome!” She screamed.

“You think?” I asked.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Yes of course. A woman never really gets enough clothes. You’ll know this soon. I’m off to my room, I need to speak with my manager.”

Sighs…

Why does everyone keep making that statement?

Morning

After having breakfast, Elaina and I were ready to leave. Eric had asked the chauffeur to drop us at the Lawn’s Villa. Elaina got a call, so she stepped out first. I followed behind her, but Eric called me back and gave me a black card.

I looked between his face and the card in my hand, wondering what it was for.

“There’s ten million dollars in there.” He said so casually, making me wonder how someone could say such an amount like it was nothing.

“Why are you giving this to me?” I inquired.

“You’re my wife, you can’t go shopping in my absence without a card. You should represent me well there. I’ve sent a few important numbers to your phone, one of which is the chauffeur. Call him when you guys are done, he’ll pick you up.” He instructed and I nodded. “Call me if anything happens.” He said and I nodded before turning to leave, but he stopped me yet again.

“You’re leaving just like that?” He asked, making me stop in my line.

“Thank you,” I said, facing him, I could feel my cheeks heating up already.

ERIC’s POV

She just said thank you. Thank you, was that all she was going to say to me?

“Is that all you’re going to say to your husband?” I asked her. “You’re not going to give me a goodbye hug, or probably kiss me?” I was being serious, but there she was, head bowed and blushing like an overly ripe tomato.

**Sighs**

“Come here.” I beckoned to her. She looked up inquisitively at me, but still took a few steps closer, stopping once she was a few inches away. I grabbed her wrist without warning and pulled her into my arms, embracing her little body in a hug. I could feel her heart beating rapidly against my chest and I couldn’t help the smile that lit up my face.

When I finally pulled away, she stood in front of me, unmoving. Her head was bowed slightly and her face was flushed. I stepped closer to her and placed a kiss on her forehead then rubbed her hair gently. But she remained there.

“Do you by any chance want me to kiss you on the lips as well?” I asked and watched her face turn redder then she shook her head. And immediately I told her to go, she ran away at once like a scared little mouse who had seen a cat.
