Chapter 31: Her power as a woman

**Justine's POV**

Whether Lawrence lied or not, I was happy when he said that I looked great in my dress. He’s the person I want to empress the most. I made sure I looked good for him anyway. The security let us in and one of their maids guided us inside their mansion. They have a function hall where they held their party tonight.

Mr. and Mrs. Mayor saw us. She waved first and smiled. They walked towards us and we shook hands. "Happy wedding anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Mayor. You guys still look good together after all these years," I complimented.

They both smile and look at us. "What an interesting pair," she mumbles.

We both know what she means. They’re both aware of the past, especially when Mr. Mayor was still a judge of our court while Mrs. Mayor was our principal way back in high school. They find it odd. The bully and his victim are now a married couple.

It’s not a typical story for them. "Well, indeed. We’re enemies that turn into lovers," I joke. They both laughed because of what I said. My wife held my hand and intertwined our fingers.

I thought she hated what I said but when I look at her, she sincerely smiles and looks proud. "We're still enemies and that’s the reason why being together was an exciting journey. Couples should fight and beat each other from time to time, right?" Justine says.

The mayor laughs because of what she says. I guess they really enjoyed how we described our relationship, which is great for me. The other guest became aware of our presence and they started buzzing. My plans are working. The truth is… I’ll use this party to introduce her.

"Then this party should also be a celebration as we welcome you both to the married couple club," Mrs. Mayor stated.

Justine laughs softly. "Thank you, madam mayor, but this is only for the two of you. As for us..." she paused. My wife looks at me intently. I feel like she’s planning something.

"I prefer to celebrate by making a baby," she added. I blink and get flustered because of how straightforward she is.

The couple laughs. Justine acts innocently where she nailed it. "Is it wrong for me to desire a little Lawrence for me?" she continues. I covered her lips. My wife looks at me. I sighed.

"I won't apologize for what she said but indeed. We are already trying to have a baby," I added.

Their expression turns serious again. Mr. Mayor placed his hand on my shoulder while his wife was holding my wife’s palm. I knew they would give us marriage advice as we are new to this status. He speaks first.

"To make your marriage work and last longer than ours, these are my advices. First, appreciate your wife’s effort and shower her with love and affection. Lastly, this is a golden rule, Lawrence. Just say YES. No matter how wrong or right you are, Say YES and SORRY. Believe me," Mr. Mayor says.

His wife laughs and when I look at her, she raises her hands and gives me a thumbs-up. She agreed to her husband’s advice! My… my… I have to listen to their advice then. My wife chuckled.

"No problem. Mr. and Mrs. Mayor. She’s the captain of our ship," I replied. I held her hand tightly. I want her to know that she's not behaving in the way we agreed.

"Well, women know how to make homes. We only make houses, Lawrence. Enjoy your journey as a married couple. It’s an adventure that you will surely enjoy. Believe me," he says.

I smiled and nodded. We shake our hands again and they excuse themselves after. "Great acting, huh?" we both say.

We went to our table and the staff served the appetizer first. She sighs and places her face on the hand that is leaning on the table. Is she bored or what? "I wonder when you will impregnate me," she commented. My expression changed into a blank expression. I feel like her question is out of tone.

"Huh? Didn’t I try it many times but I entered a different hole because you’re not ready yet?" I commented.

I still remember the tightness when I ejaculate in the butthole because she says that it isn’t the right place and moment. She crosses her arms and looks at Gianna. I saw sadness suddenly flash in her eyes.

"Maybe because I don’t want to be a sacrificial rabbit and taste the sweetness of an apple but get poisoned in eternal sleep," she whispers.

I can sense how insecure she is. I know what her point is. I understand what she’s trying to say. She must have thought that while making love with me, I'd accidentally called Gianna’s name instead of hers. That is too much for a girl or your wife.

Calling an ex in lovemaking is just taboo. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. She was surprised because of what I did. I held her chin and met her eyes. She looks prettier if you look at her a little longer.

Justine is more than just a pawn in my revenge game. I know that I have to apologize and make sure that she'll forgive me from the bottom of my heart. Maybe what happens right now is how fate wants me to realize how stupid I am when I bully her when she’s harmless.

"Don't tell me you’re insecure about a cheater like Gianna?" I whimper. Her expression changed. My wife's ego hates what she heard. I knew she'd react like this.

"Why would I even get insecure around a woman like her, hmm? Are you trying to make me lose my patience in this type of situation, Edwards?" she asks. Justine was so damn mad that she even called me by my surname. I kiss her lower lip. I smirk.

"I don't know. It looks like you are. Justine, you must never forget what kind of deal we have. I know rubbing it in your face is stupid but remember this," I paused.

I let go of her chin and raised the hand that I was holding. I kiss her finger that is wearing our wedding ring. I smirk teasingly. "We haven't started our real honeymoon yet, Justine. Don’t compare yourself to a woman who is not even close to your qualities. It will ruin your beauty," I added.

She looks at me as if she’s trying to prove that I was lying. I made sure that Justine saw how sincere I was because I meant every freaking word in my statements.

I stood up, placed my other hand behind me and bent over. A song that reminds me of rainy days suddenly plays. "Can I dance with my beautiful and stunning wife?" I ask.

She finally giggles and she looks cute! She stood up and nodded. "Why not? I love this song anyway," she says.

I smiled and dragged her to the dance floor. I can feel eyes on us. I held her hand and placed the other on her waist. Justine suddenly keeps her distance. I moved my hand to her waist and pulled her closer.

"Running away from me will never be a choice for you, Justine. You have to remember that marrying a scumbag like me will be a rocky road. Hang in tight," I whispered.

I raise my hands and she walks around me. After that, I held her closer again and we walked in rhythm on different sides of the dance floor. I am enjoying her body brushing against mine. I stretched my hand and let her go. She looked at me and I smiled.

I pulled her closer and my hand holding her palm fell on her back while the other one held her thigh as I pulled it upward.

"Are you ready to play a game tonight, honey?" I ask.
