He hugged her tight before completing the whole incident. By the end, she had snuggled to a comfortable position and slept peacefully.
--
Her gym session was increased by Arlo saying she didn't work out properly the previous day.
Arlo literally threw her in bathtub seeing her not moving from the gym floor from her so-called corpse pose before he went to prepare breakfast.
But he had overestimated her in the gym which he got to know after seeing her not coming out of the bathroom.
After entering inside and seeing her sleeping in cold water, he regretted extending her workout time.
He understood why she had a special workout routine and always had trainers every day. She was trained for self-defense which included fitness but not for head-on attacks or to be muscular and strong.
The reason why she stayed still in the car when she was kidnapped not only because she was scared, also because she couldn't attack four men at once.
Anyway, he was beaten up later for entering the bathroom and for making her workout a long time. He didn't allow her to play tennis until four in the afternoon.
It took complete four+ hours for Sky to finish Smith's mansion tour including bowling matches with Arlo where she lost once and rest of the matches they were tied.
Snooker, she couldn't win on Arlo.
In the music room, he was again beaten after knowing he knew four instruments yet he had lied to her.
After his guitar performance to her and getting praised by her, Both checked around. She saw every room lavishly decorated and chided him saying it was more like a luxurious seven-star hotel than to be called home.
She even gave him a proposal to change it as a resort to earn but Arlo straightaway declined. Since it was to tease him, Sky didn't mind it.
Lunch was prepared by chefs. After eating and resting, he taught her tennis. As she knew the racket game, she was very quick to learn.
She couldn't match to Arlo's speed on tennis but she won every Badminton match against him even though he was pretty good at it.
After dinner, both were watching a movie in his theater but Sky dozed off in midway due to exhaustion of the full day's activity.
More they spent time together, they understood more about each other and their preferences.
Sky got to know Arlo was walking talking Wikipedia. Where latter got to know she pushes herself beyond limits when she likes or wants to learn something new.
Since maids were back working when he was accompanying her, they naturally saw them and heard their conversation when they were around.
Arlo who always got greetings noticed Sky got their greets with a smile on their faces. The difference was they liked to greet her and they were scared of him.
He didn't care whether they greeted him because they were frightened or not, he got to know everyone gets along well with Sky which made him think he should keep all men away with the exception of family and friends.
The next day was Sky's lazy day on the bed until she woke up for brunch. Then she decided rooms for David, Jai, Loran, and the Barton parents to stay in when they go there.
She changed a few decors according to their preferences by still keeping the original touch.
She was later surprised to see David, Ryan, Olivia as they had said they couldn't come when she asked.
When there was still time for dinner, Sam and the other four came which was the second surprise to her on Ryan's birthday evening to which all teased Sky.
"My birthday tonight and Brother Arlo giving you surprises. What about the gift? Are you also taking that?"
"Do Ms.Sky need gifts? when she already has her husband."
"Looks like President Smith is under our little President's spell."
"Teach us... teach us."
Sky was wiping her imaginary tears, after hearing Peter, Sky grinned giving him creeps.
"No spell is required. I'll give him to you. Can you handle him?"
She knew what Peter meant. But she changed it completely which left him pale glancing at dark-faced Arlo who was gritting his teeth hearing Sky 'I will give him to you.'
But he didn't consider she was teased because of him.
Ryan gave others a quick tour before dinner when Sky went to get fresh.
Being pinned down on the bed, Sky calmed Arlo by coaxing him but she left a loose end.
"...And nobody will take you from me. Heeee! I'll tie you up to me wherever I go. Don't worry."
"Wherever you go?" Sky didn't catch his mischievousness in his eyes and thought he wasn't angry anymore and hummed.
She was carried up to the bathroom as she heard, "Everywhere includes here too." But it was too late by the time she could react...
After torturing her by getting himself more tortured in the bathtub, He took a cold shower before helping her out who was curled up in the bathtub.
"You want to die and Why do want me to die with you?" Sky didn't know what to do with her husband. He had tortured to the extent that she felt herself burning in the water.
"Wherever it may be, we will go together." Arlo said nonchalantly drying her hair.
"I was just kidding with Peter." Sky almost... No! She wanted to cry very badly.
Arlo rolled his eyes. He spoke only after drying her hair and facing her. "Never use 'Leave' 'break' 'give' 'abandon' 'give up' or any sort of such words with our names. Understood?"
It sounded more like a request than order. Sky couldn't help but wound her arms around his neck and hum.
She didn't leave him for a long time even after hearing him say 'They will be waiting.'
"Let them wait." Sky mumbled still holding on to him.
He didn't know why he felt the necessity to say it but after he said, Sky unwounded her hands and went out with him.
'I will never leave you. Never.'
Ryan complained about stealing the limelight by coming late.
Sky sent him upstairs made everyone act like surprised to make him feel good but by the time he reached the dining table, all burst into laughter. Annoyed Ryan sat down and started to enjoy dinner.
But it soon changed. When Sky finished her starters and tried a spicy chicken dish. She felt too strong smell and taste which made her nauseous.
Arlo who was sitting next to her noticed. "What's wrong?"
