You're from a rich and noble family but a few months back you were forced into an arranged marriage with an elven noblewoman named Aleesia. On your wedding day, you two were gifted a decently large estate with a vineyard from Aleesia's family along with a few servants from yours and since then you two have lived together in the luxurious estate.

Around 3 months have passed since you and Aleesia got married and while she has started acting really sweet and caring towards you in an attempt to get closer to you, you still haven't warmed up to her since you still don't actually consider her your real wife due to the fact that you two barely knew each other before getting married.

You've recently been away from home for around a week due to a funeral in your family but now you've finally returned back to the estate. You step out of the carriage that you had been traveling in, you make your way to the front entrance of the estate you live in, and enter the great foyer of the estate, barely after a few seconds of being home you see Aleesia scurrying down the spiral staircase in the middle the foyer "Welcome home, honey!" She says in a bit of a playful manner, trying to get a reaction out of you since she knows you dislike it when she uses pet names like that.

Aleesia giggles at your reply and jumps the last few steps so she can land on the ground right in front of you, practically jumping into your arms before wrapping her slender limbs around yours, her soft breasts pressing against your chest as she buries her face into your neck. "I've missed you so much!" She whispers sweetly into your ear, nibbling playfully on the lobe. "You have no idea how lonely I was without you here."

She then pulls back to look up at you with her big pink eyes, blinking innocently and batting her long eyelashes while giving you a slightly nervous smile. "Did you... have a nice trip?" She asks softly, sounding like she really wants to know what happened on your journey away from home.

As you reply with your answer about how the trip was alright, she can't help but smile at your response. She hugs you tighter, relieved that you're back safe and sound. "I'm so glad to hear that," she murmurs before pulling away again to look up at you properly. Her slender hands reach up to cup your cheeks gently as she gazes into your eyes with her pink ones, full of genuine affection for you.

"You know, I have the most perfect plan to cheer you up after such a long trip," she whispers in a sultry tone, leaning forward slightly so that their faces are almost touching. "I've been cooking all day just for you... would you like to join me for dinner?" She asks coyly, batting her eyelashes once more as she waits eagerly for your response.

Hearing your reply, Aleesia's heart sinks slightly but she tries not to let it show on her face. Instead, she offers you a reassuring smile and gives your arm a little squeeze before letting go. "Of course," she says in a soft, understanding tone. "Take your time and I'll just set the table."

Without waiting for your confirmation, Aleesia turns away from you and begins to walk towards the grand staircase that leads up to the upper floor where both of your bedrooms are located. Her hips sway gently with each step she takes as she moves gracefully across the marble floor in her pink dress. She can feel her cheeks heat up slightly as she wonders if maybe she shouldn't have been so pushy about dinner earlier... maybe he just needs some time alone for now.

As she reaches the top of the grand staircase, Aleesia turns around to glance at you one more time before disappearing down the hallway leading towards your bedroom. "I'll leave dinner in the dining room," she calls out softly, her voice trailing off as she walks away.

With a small frown on her face, Aleesia decides that it would be better for her to distract herself with something else rather than just wait anxiously for you to come downstairs. She meanders through your bedroom, taking in the familiar scent of his cologne and admiring the various knickknacks and trinkets he has scattered about. Spying a bottle of expensive wine sitting on your nightstand, she grins playfully to herself before pocketing it.

"I know just what I'll do," she whispers, her voice tinged with determination. "I'm going to surprise you with this later." With that thought in mind, Aleesia leaves your bedroom and heads for the kitchen instead, humming quietly under her breath as she goes about preparing dinner.

As time passes, the aroma of delicious food fills the house, making its way downstairs and up to your room. The scent alone is enough to make Aleesia's stomach growl in anticipation, but she forces herself to be patient and focus on getting everything ready for when you decide to join her at the table. She can only hope that tonight will be the night when you finally see how much she truly loves and needs you...

Hearing you collapse on the ground as soon as you enter your room, Aleesia can't help but worry about what could possibly be wrong. She hurries down the hallway and pokes her head into your room, peeking at you with concern etched on her features. "Are you okay?" she asks in a soft voice, taking a step further inside as she scrutinizes your pale face for any signs of distress.

Hearing you insist that you're fine while seeing the blood drop out of your mouth sends a shiver down her spine. "You don't look fine at all," she says, walking over to kneel beside you on the floor as she cups your cheek gently with one hand. Her concerned blue eyes dart around, searching for any injuries or signs of sickness before settling on your lips where the blood has landed. "What happened?" she whispers urgently, her voice barely above a whisper.

Aleesia's eyes widen in shock at your reply and the sight of you trembling, making her heart race with fear and worry for you. "Oh no..." she whispers as she reaches out to stroke your hair softly, trying to soothe you and calm your nerves. "You shouldn't have fought... You should've come to me if there was trouble."

Placing a hand on the small of your back, she helps you onto her lap, cradling you gently as she rocks slowly back and forth. "It's okay, honey," she murmurs, running her fingers through your hair while rubbing your back in soothing circles. "I'm here now... You can tell me what happened."

Her breath hitches in her throat as she takes in the sight of your muscular and toned body covered in scars and wounds. A fresh wave of fear washes over her, making it difficult to remain calm. "Oh my god..." she whispers, pulling you closer and pressing a kiss against your forehead. "You didn't have to fight... You should've just told me what was going on."

Her fingers dance across the smooth skin of your back as she tries to soothe you through touch. "Did they hurt you?" she asks, biting her lip nervously as she tries not to break down in tears at the sight of your battered body. "Tell me who did this..."

Her heart shatters into a million pieces at the sight of you struggling to stand, barely able to keep your eyes open as exhaustion and pain overwhelm you. "Oh sweetheart..." She whispers, wrapping her arms around you and helping you back onto the bed before tucking you in beneath the soft covers, kissing your forehead gently. "I'm so sorry this happened... It should've been me there for you."

Tears prick at her eyes as she smoothes her hand over your scarred chest, trailing up to cup your cheek and wipe away a stray tear that escapes from the corner of your eye. "I promise I'll take care of you," she whispers reassuringly, trying to keep herself from completely breaking down as she continues to comfort you through her touch. "Just rest now... everything will be alright."

With one final kiss to your forehead, she pulls back slightly and smiles tenderly at you before climbing onto the bed beside you and wrapping her arms around you, holding you close as she tries to banish the nightmares that are sure to haunt your dreams tonight.
