LUKE

"Luke!" A voice I knew all too well.

"Mother" I turned to greet her as she trapped me between her arms. I always told her I was a little too old for hugs but she never listened. I shook my father's hand.

"Back already?" I asked.

"Yes we came to pay you a visit we didn't think you'd be in office today" my mother said.

Before I could even speak my father interrupted.

"Charming wife you have" Charming? What were they talking about. My wife was a spoilt brat.

"You found the perfect one I simply adore her. She's humble, well breed, caring! I just love her already" my mother gushes.

Were they positively sure that it was my wife they spoke of. The sobbing mess that slept in the room next to mine.

"We wish we could stay and have supper with you and your colleagues but we've been called away on urgent matter" father told me.

"Oh how I wished we could have been here" mother said with a sigh.

"What a show we'll miss" smiling at me. With mischief in her eyes. What was she playing at? And what in God's name did she mean by what a show.

Before I could speak my father once again cut me off. Interrupting me before I got a letter out.

"We must take leave and make haste. Take care Luke my son and treat Emily well she's quite special" my father told me in a stern voice.

"Take care" I said in a whisper talking to the wind as their carriage took off.

Everyone had arrived except Mute and my wife. I was anxious but tried to hide it. With what my parent had said about "her" it left me curious.

Had she fooled them into thinking she was a light amongst dark times. My parent were not easily fooled. After all I didn't really know her that well. So who was I to judge her?

I never tried to get to know. I never dined with her. Never took her out. I never did anything with her.

My parents liked her. Rather loved her which made me wonder about her personality. Maybe I ought to get to know her. As my wife. As the mother to my children. As a person.

What! No. My subconscious snapped at me. What the hell was I thinking. She was nothing more than a possession to bare my children.

I have no other needs for her. Why should I waste my time to know her. It's not like I would come to care.

I hadn't really care about anyone. Not since...

" Where's that wife of yours?" I turned to Mr Weather who severed me from my thoughts.

Before I could answer

" Right here" I heard that familiar voice I remember all to well from my wedding night.
The voice who said it was her duty to lay with me.

I saw Mute in all her glory looking beautiful in a ice blue gown. I couldn't wrap my head around it. Why was mute pretending to be my wife, why did she and Emily possess the same voice and where was Emily.

"Why has Luke kept you here so no one can see you? You surely are a sight" Mr Whittle took her hand and kissed it.

I was still baffled by all this. Mute could talk? Why hadn't  she said anything to me. Why did she have to sound so much like Emily.

And then it hit me. That Mute was Emily and that the ugly duckling did not exist, that my wife was breath taking and beautiful. Then why did she hide her face. There was only one way to find out if she really was Emily.

She looked even more beautiful that the other two times I had met her. Her hair was swept from her face giving me a full view of her.

It occurred to me then. No wonder she seemed so frightened when I just saw her, why she recoiled when I tried to comfort her.

I wanted to punch Whittle so bad. How dare he lay a finger on her.

" I suppose you could say he wants me here to himself" she replied and they all laughed

She walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek. I can't recall the last time I was this shocked.

"I see you are with child" Mrs Weather asked.

I hastily looked at her stomach. We had created a life together. My wife. Emily was pregnant.

I turned to a blushing Emily. Before she could answer I called her

"Emily" I croaked and she looked up at me. Eyes laced with mischief. No doubt my mother was brushing off on her.

"Yes Luke my love" she wrapped herself around me. Snuggling into me. Her scent was intoxicating. She smelt like roses.

Everyone looked at us in awe. This was all a show. No doubt the work of my parents. No wonder mother's face was so pouty when she heard they had urgent matters to attend to.

I grabbed her hands and led her  upstairs and apologized to the guest and told them I'll be back shortly.

I swung her into the room and slammed the door shut not caring who heard.

" Why didn't you say something to me all along" I shouted but she stood her grounds.

" What was there to say Luke?" She answered angrily.

" You had me thinking you were a blasted Mute!! Matter of fact I didn't even know it was you my Wife! And that you were with CHILD" I roared

" Why should I have told you? You clearly did not think your wife was beautiful as you said. Child? You did not care to find out if I was pregnant or not! Or how I felt after our wedding night NOTHING!! After you used my body" She spat

" I don't recall you begging me to stop. I recall you saying it was duty! As for child I will have you be reminded that your sole purpose here is to get pregnant with my child and nothing more. You are nothing" I shouted.

I felt a stinging on my cheek. Emily slapped me. I could see the anger in her eyes. I hauled her to me. I ripped the front of her dress off she just stood there with fire in her eyes. I proceeded to rip everything until she was left in nothing but her undergarments. I could see the swelling of her stomach where my child is growing.

I slammed my lips to her. Kissing her harshly. Until she shoved me off.

" Use me like your little whores Luke. That's what I'm here for isn't it. Just a possession to you" she whispered

I've never been so angry in my life. I stormed out the room. I composed myself before heading downstairs to join the guest. I told them Emily did not feel well and so she won't be returning.
