Michael and Brighton completed most of his errands during the week. Michael constantly thought of his new wife and how he could not wait to see her, to smell her, to touch her.
He closed his eyes to picture her in his mind. She was going to be his wife and he would protect her for the rest of his life. He could not stop himself from falling for her. She was just magnificently beautiful and lovely.
They had one more stop to make at the Fanning estate. Michael would have to end his affairs with Lisa. He was going to try to be a dutiful husband to Nikita until they had their first child. Whether he would take another lover, he did not know. At the moment, he had no desire.
Brighton wished Michael luck and he made his way to one of the sitting rooms where he normally met with Lisa. He opened the door and stood by the window. He hated the fact that he had to hurt her, but his new bride was his new priority.
He heard the door open and Lisa ran into the room and into his arms. She attempted to kiss him, but he would not allow her access to his lips.
“Oh Michael,” She hugged him and kissed his neck. “I have missed you so so much. I am so glad you are here. Why will you not kiss me?”
“Lisa,” He unclasped her hands from around him and tried to get her to focus on him.
“What is the matter, Michael?” She asked with heavy anticipation.
Michael sat her down and told her, “I need to speak with you.”
She calmed her breathing. “What is it?”
“I cannot come here anymore Lisa.” Before she protested, he closed her mouth with his hand. “Please let me finish. If you cry or get upset before I am done, I am walking out.”
She had tears, but she nodded and maintained control of herself. “Lisa, I enjoyed the time we had together. I care for you very much and will never forget what we shared. I have to move on with the new venture in my life.”
She shook her head no, “Michael, why can we not be lovers still? You told me your marriage would not change things.”
He held her hands and said, “I know I said that and I am so sorry. I owe it to my new wife and family to be faithful. I need to be.”
“Do you love her?” She asked him. He looked down and she got angry. “Oh my god, you are in love with her?”
Michael stood up and looked at her. “I do not know Lisa. All I know is that she is going to be my wife. It is my duty and obligation to love, honor and cherish her. I want to do that. I want to be faithful to my wife. We are going to have children together. It is my honor and heart that tell me what is right.” Michael had a few hidden tears. He realized at the moment how much Nikita meant to him.
“You love a simpering blond stupid young beauty who probably is the biggest whore in her whole county? You are a bastard.”
Michael said angrily, “You will not speak about my fiancée in such a tone.”
“Bugger off Michael! You are no better than the rest of us. All of a sudden you have some moral fortitude and that makes you a changed man. Does she know how many women you have had and how you discard them when you are done? You have not changed. Soon your precious little wife will see through you and you will end up destroying her.” She got in his face and was yelling.
He pushed her shoulders down and back to the couch. “Lisa… I will not have you talk about me or Nikita in such a mannter. I understand you are angry, but this is how it is. I bid you farewell.”
She yelled at him as he was exiting, “You will be running back here to my bed… you wait and see.”
Michael exited and urged Brighton to bring his horse over. He raced to London and hoped in some way he could see his fiancée. He needed to be in her arms right now.
