Adrian didn't slow down. [color=00aeef]"Beautiful and perfect. I wouldn't expect anything less for an arranged marriage,"[/color] his voice didn't sound at all friendly. His thoughts were on how happy Alessandra looked and sounded when she saw Adam. It annoyed him that he felt irritated and bothered by it. He knew that she always liked Adam more than him. Adam was friendlier, approachable and a lot more likeable. It didn't bother him before. Why did it now? And what it irritated him more was the fact that he was thinking about it. 

He pushed open the door to his room and walked into it. He didn't bother asking Alessandra to draw a bath for him like he used to. Instead, he walked straight to the bathroom, went in and closed the door behind him.
