Chapter 15: 15 Am not a vegetarian
Ethan couldn't help but marvel at the precise and concise way Jessica handles issues but then he has some
flickers of doubt. His investigation had clearly stated that Risa is the eldest daughter of the Brown family, she is
spoilt, haughty and conceited. He had expected to see a lady who wouldn't give a damn about Davis but it
seems this lady is different. "She had said her nis Jessica Brown, then who is Risa Brown?" He muttered as
he walked down the hallway. What is going on, he has a hunch about somethings not been right but he couldn't
place his finger on what it is or the part of the puzzle that is missing. Lost in thought he entered his room.
It is dinner tbut Davis remained asleep, it has been seven hours and yet no sign of him waking up. Ethan
heart raced with fear of the unknown making him anxious. He wanted to wake him up but Jessica had said to let
him wake naturally. Pacing back and forth in Davis room, he was not aware when he opened his eyes.
Just like one month ago, Davis's gaze was fixated on the ceiling with its golden coloured chandelier shining
brightly, his gaze scanning round the room as fragmented memories of the last thing he did resurfaces but then
his eyes fell on Ethan who was standing at the window gazing into the courtyard.
Gradually he propped himself up the bed supporting himself with his hand, "Ethan", he croaked. His throat felt
dry, Ethan turned around at the sound of his voice and hurriedly handed him a glass of warm water to wet his
parched throat after he had taken a sip he felt much better.
Davis felt refreshed and rejuvenated after the long hours of sleep, he had felt more relieved then he would have
felt previously. "How long have | been asleep?" He asked casting a glance at Ethan.
"Seven hours." Ethan answered readily, he noticed schanges on Davis as he woke up. It was as though
sheavy burden had been lifted up his shoulders.
Seven hours?" He asked surprised. Since he woke he had never slept more than two hours in the twenty four
hours of the day. He felt something must have caused it. He looked at Ethan his gaze probing, he knew that
whatever might have been the cause Ethan must know about it. He had been the one that prepared the bath but
then he might have been ordered by someone to do so.

when he added the essential oils and he never asked but now he is asking "should there have been any
problem?" Davis silently noted the changes in Ethan's expression— his guess was right.
Ethan braced himself for the worst "Madam instructed | add the essential oils in your bath."
"Madam, what madam?" Davis asked with confusion written all over his face that Ethan found it amusing. He
didn't expect that after a good sleep—Davis will forget the fact that he got married ten hours ago. It's both
amusing and refreshing. Ethan could not hide his smile.
"Your wife", Ethan snickered. He must thank Jessica properly for relieving his stress of the past months through
his boss confused state.
"Wife", he murmured to himself. Davis couldn't believe that he had really married, he felt it had been a dream.
His recollection of that memory cin fragments, Ethan seeing his face got worried. "Does the oils also erase
memories?”, he muttered to himself. "But madam only said it will relieve his mental stress, seems this should be
the case but why is he frowning?" He asked himself oblivious of Davis presence.
Davis pressed his forehead briefly as a sigh escaped his lips. "Where is she?"
"Did you remember now?" Ethan asked.
"Its just a foreign nthat am not used to and has forgotten about it for a moment." Seeing his face creasing
in a frown Ethan sighed deeply and pushed the food cart towards him as he arranged them on the table.
Davis stomach grumbled at the sight of the meal but as Ethan laid out the table Davis looked at him deeply his
gaze sharp as he took in the details of the meals been served. He couldn't deny the fact that there is quiet some
changes on the dish "What are you doing?", he asked.
"It is dinner tand you have been asleep for long that there is no other option then to bring in your meals
here", Ethan said as he set down the final dish.
"My meals? And when have | turned to a vegetarian?" He asked with a scowl.
Ethan distanced himself from him, he hasn't forgotten how grumpy he can be and wouldn't want to risk the loss
of any part of his body. Davis felt headache coming on at the constant intrusion of this unknown lady in his life.
He made a conclusion to set things straight and that he will do immediately he steps out of his room. She needs
to know her place, she has no right to dictate what he wants or how he wants it and not in his household.
"Go preparea hew meal, am not a vegetarian”, he boomed. Ethan nodded at his request, he had expected
this reaction and is already prepared on how to weather it. Davis had never been one to allow people interfer
into his life or alter his preferences arbitrarily.
Ethan proceeded toward the door when Davis's voice filtered through making him pause momentarily "What has
she been doing?" He queried.
"Nothing in particular, just in her room sleeping", Ethan answered.
"Sleeping?" "For how long?" He asked gazing out the window.
"Can't say because | checked on her shours ago", Ethan answered with a probing gaze on Davis face but
instead he nodded at his response.
Ethan walked toward the door but paused when he suddenly recalled something.
