Chapter 125 - First Fight
Achrel eyes turned dark with desire, he looked at the guard and said "Get me the portrait of Aivyn. I want to see her."
The guard nodded his head and left the place. Achrel smirked and his blood boiled with the thought of making Gavon suffer.
'Gavon, just wait. I am coming for you with a big surprise.' Achrel laughed like a crazy man.
A few days passed by, Ivy and Lyo are busy with their studies. Ethan and Gavon are busy with their work, Gavon becomes very careful with Ivy every need and tried to take care of her in every situation.
Ivy felt irked by Gavon behaviour, she felt happy initially seeing the way he cared for her but as the days went by she observed something different in his behaviour.
Whatever she does, wherever she goes, he used to say 'Is everything fine? Do you feel anything uncomfortable?'
'Do you hurt yourself? Why are you doing this?'
'Be careful, don't walk faster.' 'Let me know if anything is needed,' 'Should I take you there?'
'Do you want me to do anything, are you feeling uncomfortable in the house?' 'Does anyone bother you?'
Initially, all these questions seem fine for Ivy but as days goes his behaviour is not changing at all, he will worry about every single thing she did, he used to be overprotective of her.
She felt suffocated and thought that he was acting like a servant to her. She doesn't want this kind of treatment, he feels anxious whenever she gets hurt slightly. He wants her to sit and enjoy without doing anything.
Even while touching her, he used to be gentle and suppress all his needs and worries from her, she tried to speak with him but he used to say that it is his job to protect and take care of her.
On the day of the Alyssa Age Ceremony, Ivy got prepared for the banquet and came downstairs. She is wearing a dark green ball gown paired with matching earrings and a necklace. Her hair is done in a neat updo exposing her slender neck, she is looking eternal.
Gavon was mesmerised by her beauty and praised "You are looking gorgeous."
Ivy smiled lightly and said "Thank you,"
"Ivy, do you like this dress? Is there anything you want to tell me?" Gavon asked, seeing her smile. Her smile seems to be getting dim every day.
Ivy closed her eyes and sighed loudly, Gavon became anxious and inquired "Are you not feeling well? I will call the doctor right now."
"STOP IT, Gavon" Ivy shouted. Gavon was startled by her sudden outburst and looked at her with worry.
Ivy looked around and said to the maids "You all, leave us alone." The maids bowed and left them alone. They never saw their madam being angry and felt scared.
Once they were gone Ivy looked at Gavon and inquired "What do you think of me Gavon? Why are you treating me like this?"
Gavon was confused by her questions "What's the wrong Ivy? Did I do something wrong? Are you not feeling good with anything or anyone?"
`` This behaviour annoyed me, Gavon. For god sake, I am your wife, Gavon." Ivy fumed, she tried to tell him softly but he is not getting her words so she wants to tell him in another manner.
"Why are you treating me like I am some kind of princess or someone you should serve? Huh? You are not my servant, you are my Husband for heaven sake. Remember this." Ivy felt devastated these days, she tried to understand his view but her patience is running out.
"I am tired of this Gavon, I tried to speak with you normally but it seems you are not going to understand. Listen carefully, asking your wife about her day, asking her about the dress you brought to her, asking her about her health condition and taking care of her is really good but what are you doing?"
Ivy paused and continued "You are not asking as a husband, you are asking me like you are serving me. Why is that? Did I ever mention you treat me like this? I felt like I am an outsider, not your wife Gavon. Do you understand?"
Gavon was stunned by her words "Ivy, but… I am taking care of you."
"What cares Gavon? Asking her opinion and immediately asking whether something is wrong, is this taken care of? Why are you assuming things which I never spoke about? Why are you treating me like this?"
"Not only this, even when you touch me you are so gentle that you are treating me like a glass doll. You are thinking that if you touch me with a bit of force I am going to break. Did I ever repel to your touch? Did I ever mention you not to touch me as you like? Why are you not touching as you wish? Did I put any restrictions? Why are you not thinking about our desires and passions? Why are you only thinking about me getting hurt?"
Gavon's mouth went dry, he didn't know how to respond to her questions. He always thought to protect her as she is precious to them and didn't want her to be hurt in his place as she was brought up with so much care from her parents. He restrains himself from touching her roughly with the thought of hurting her, if he hurts then she may hate him. All these thoughts made his mind crazy.
"If you feel like that you will hurt me then ask me, why are you assuming without knowing my capacity? I am not only talking physically but mentally as well. How are you assuming the things which I never spoke of?"
Ivy was fuming with anger, she wanted to let all her pent up emotions today so that Gavon would understand her "If you think like that, then I am telling you, I am stronger than you imagine. I am not the weak girl you know of, I changed a lot. I want to accept everything you gave me whether it is pleasure or pain."
"Gavon, remember one point. Communicate with me. Tell me your thoughts, fears, I will take all those things. Think carefully today. Till then don't try to talk with me." Ivy stated firmly making Gavon eyes go wide.
"How…" before he completed his words Ivy called Lyo. Lyo came out and he heard the Ivy shouts, he was quite scared due to the atmosphere in the room.
"Ivy, wait I will come…" Gavon tried to go after Ivy.
"Lyo told him not to follow me. If he comes then I won't speak with him for months. Tell him to reflect on his mistakes" Ivy declared, causing Gavon to halt in his steps.
Lyo sighed and followed Ivy to the carriage and they left for the mansion.. Ivy is silent the whole journey and Lyo doesn't dare to speak with her.
