Chapter 3: 3. Called by her name

After his return today, everything had suddenly changed with her. Jane Dover could not understand how this sudden change in her husband had come! Every time Darius Simard looked at her today, there was an affection for Jane Dover in his eyes, not lust. She looked at the giant circular Prince bed in front of her and swallowed her saliva in panic. On this bed, she did not know how many women he had slept with. Now, she was going to sleep with him on this bed. She hugged her chest and sighed deeply as the night was getting cooler. Just then, she felt a soft touch on her waist and he placed his chin on her delicate shoulder.

"Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" He asked in his low and deep voice. Yes, she had too many questions to ask and tell many things but the sudden change in his nature made her fall into thought.

"How were your ten days?" She asked to respect his question.

"I was just thinking about coming to you every moment." He held her by her waist and said in his resonant voice while placing his wet lips on her neck slightly.

He had just come after taking a bath and Jane Dover's breath was getting misled by the scent of his body, but when his warm breath touched her delicate neck, a sigh came out of her body.

"Aren't you happy after seeing me?" Another question was thrown when she was still lost in her thoughts.

"Yes, I am." She bit her lips and dropped her eyes shyly. It was not the right moment to think about the changes in her husband. She should give her time to her husband completely as they were in their bedroom, in privacy, at night.

"You don't know how desperate I was to have you! After witnessing you today, I feel relieved."

Another trauma she felt was due to his affectionate words. He was not such a romantic man! Was he feeling something warm for her?

"Jane…" He called her with the profoundness of his heart and Jane Dover closed her eyes while losing her alertness. In the past, he had not called her by her name but today he had called her affectionately twice and hearing her name in his deep voice was quite soothing for her. She wanted to hear her name again and again by him.

When Jan Dover was completely lost in his warmth, she felt like she was not standing on the surface. She could feel that he had already carried her in his arms. When he gently put his wife on the circular bed and leaned over her, she opened her eyes and dared to look at him. How gentle and polite he was today! She could not believe that this man once had slapped her. She could not believe that this man could be lusty and noisy. She swallowed the memory of those bitter moments and kept looking into his big and catching blue eyes.

"Sleep peacefully." His smile was decent and Jan Dover was dismayed. She had never slept peacefully till the date and when he got finally private time with her, he was asking her to sleep peacefully. Before she could react, he placed his warm palm on her soft cheek and leaned toward her. No, No, No… She was wrong. He was going to do it! She closed her eyes tightly and clenched her fists before his lips reached her face but when she felt the soft touch of his lips on her forehead, she opened her eyes and looked at him with surprise. He was smiling and his gaze was deep. She sighed and finally felt relaxed due to his mild demeanour.

"Good night." He was polite and decent and she closed her eyes slowly. Darius Simard kept looking at her with his deep and gentle gaze until she fell asleep. It would be the best sleep for her. Now, he would give her relaxed nights and peaceful days. As soon as she fell asleep, he stood up from the edge of the bed, grabbed his coat and looked at the stray cloud which was watching the princess from the big peephole. How could Darius Simard tolerate this? He stepped ahead while wearing his long coat and looked at the cloud unhappily. The cloud quickly changed his way and rushed towards the south and he shut the curtains of the room so that no one could glance at his beautiful wife. He looked at his wife and then left the room fast.

The weather was pleasant and today she woke up late for the first time. After opening her eyes, when she looked into the room, he was not there and so she got confused that she must not have become angry because of her waking up late! Now she had to get ready quickly and find out whether he was angry or not! As she lowered her feet to lay on the ground, a maid placed silk sleepers near her feet. She stared at the maid in astonishment as if that maid had done something wrong.

"I am Sinja. From now on, I will serve you from the bottom of my heart." Her genuine smile made Jane Dover feel normal.

"The fragrant water has been prepared for your bath. Please come with me to the bath area, if you want to take bath now."

Jane Dover nodded with surprise as she had never been treated in such a polite way then followed the maid hesitantly. The bath area was too large and the circular bathtub with rose water and fragrant incense was ready in front of her eyes. Many maids were standing around that giant bathtub with fan, perfume spray, rose petals and fragrant incense sticks. It was serenity and relaxing.

After bathing with milk and rose water, fragrant incense and perfume were sprinkled on her body and long and silky hair, due to which her body became more flexible and seductive. After the pink petals were rubbed on her lips, she was decorated with beautiful clothes in which gold and silver threads were threaded. Her body was decorated with diamonds and jewels and when she saw herself in the mirror, she could not recognize herself. Is she such a beautiful woman? She could not believe in her physique and seductive body. A silk shoe adorned her feet and finally, she smiled, like a queen.

After getting ready, she thought of Darius Simard who should be the first man who would see her magnificence.

"Princess…" The maid rushed to the room and stopped near Jane Dover.

"What's wrong? Why are you panting?" Jane Dover asked the maid politely.

"Prince has sent a call for you."

"Really?" Jane Dover's pink cheeks turned red.

"Yes. He has asked you to reach the patio and he will come to pick you up."

Jane Dover smiled shyly to suppress her excitement but the maids started teasing her as she was a newlywed woman.

The maids opened the door of the woman's promenade and she got out of the room in rashness. Sinja was walking behind her as she has to take care of the princess.

"Did you like this castle, Princess?"

"Sinja, I can't imagine such a captivating castle even in my dreams." Jane Dover smiled and answered while looking at Sinja. Just then, she collided with a string object, which smelled of alcohol. Sinja got spooked and stepped back while lowering her head in respect of the person standing in front of Jane Dover with his red and dark eyes. When Jane Dover opened her eyes and looked at the angular face, her heart bounced inside her chest after conceding that she was in his arms.

"Ah…" She stepped back in panic and the man kept looking at her with his more menacing smile.

"Such a beautiful woman is in the palace and I don't even know?" He bounced his thick eyebrows and Jane Dover looked at him with her beautiful eyes. He was looking like Darius Simard but the difference was between his moustache. Her husband did not have a moustache and this man had it. His eyes were red and terrific and she could smell the strong alcohol in the air. Who the man must be like her husband?

"Prince Vrinda, she…"

Vrinda Simard raised his palm and stopped the maid then looked at the gorgeous woman with interest.

"She is Princess Jane Dover. Am I right?"

Jane Dover did not know how she should greet him after Sinja called him Prince Vrinda. She kept looking at him with her big eyes and he liked this lady.

"I am Vrinda Simard."

"Nice to meet you, Prince."

"I heard that Darius Simard married Princess Jane Dover, so I came to meet you. And I found that… You are ravishing."

"Thank you."Jane Dover threw a magnetic smile that caught his heart and he kept looking at her in surprise. How beautiful she was!

"By the way, where you were going?" He asked in his hoarse and heavy voice.

"Go Sinja, show her the palace so that the palace can also know that someone is more beautiful than it." Vrinda Simard threw a sardonic smile and left recklessly and the maid sighed in relief.
