The next day-
Edmund watched as Sara walked into the studio feeling rather excited. It’s only Wednesday, and the minion was not around. Edmund smiled. “Hello Princess.” Edmund teased her. “Ready for your transformation?”
Sara grinned. “What are you transforming me into?”
Edmund leaned close and whispered. “Into my woman.”
Sara blushed and then laughed. “You’re such a cheeky man. I’m married! Seriously though, more swimsuits today?”
“Just a few.” Edmund noticed that the range of swimsuits and clothes were mostly quite modest, and wondered whether the upgraded photography studio would bring in even more new stock.
“Let’s get to work, then.” She hopped into the changing room and changed. The photographs went quite well.
Still, during the entire time, Edmund wondered whether he should try something more aggressive. He was fairly sure the office was meant for Miss Selfridge, but the swimming pool and sauna. No. He could use it for an outdoor shoot! Like when they met the professional models and photographers.
He would only be able to unlock the husband’s transfer later. So for now, he decided to focus on increasing Sara’s corruption. He immediately selected.
[Upgrade Photography Studio, and the Small Swimming Pool and Sauna. He also hired a worker for the Swimming Pool.

The effects of his new buildings would only take place tomorrow. So for now, he just took it easy, and once they were done for the day, sent her home.
Sara looked like she was expecting something, but didn’t say it.
***
Sara walked home. Edmund looked like he had something on his mind, so she didn’t try to suggest anything. The fact that she didn’t work very hard also meant she felt like she didn’t do anything to deserve a special reward or a nice meal. So, she was home. Yet her mind thought about him, more than her husband. She wondered why he didn’t have a girlfriend. The minion said he’s single.
She checked her fridge. They had better groceries now. More vegetables and meats. She made herself a nicer noodle soup for dinner-
She texted her husband. “Will you be home for dinner today?”
“Yes!”
Sara sighed. She didn’t know why. But she began to prepare noodle soup for two, and waited for her husband to come home.
“Dear!” James returned just in time. “How’re you today?”
Sara smiled at her husband. “I’m okay. Work ended well.”
“Yeah! I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve not spent time with you.” James sat down and began to eat dinner. He was amazed. “Wow. We’ve got meats and vegetables in our dinner now!”
Sara nodded. “Yes.”
“Thank you! Let’s eat!”
The two ate quietly, but once they were done, Sara asked. “Are things going okay at work?”
“Not really.” James sighed. “It feels like some of the other members at work don’t quite like me. But let’s not talk about them! Do you want to watch a movie on the TV? I think there are some good series on right now.”
Sara wasn’t interested, but since her husband asked, she sat and watched. They watched news for a while, and then the series about some love triangle started. It was quite boring, because Sara didn’t know the beginning of the story. James noticed her boredom.
“We should get Webflix, when we can afford it. I heard there’s a lot of good series there.”
Sara shook her head. “It’s alright. I’m not a huge fan of dramas or soap operas.”
“True, true. $15 a month is still a lot of money.” James laughed, and Sara nodded. Somehow, the mood was a little awkward. “Sara, tell me about your work? What do you do?”
Sara paused. She was preparing for this conversation ever since she started the job. “I help out with their merchandise. I try them, and we help prepare them for their website. It’s really tiring. I meet their models, sometimes.”
“Nice. Is- Is the landlord nice?”
Sara thought about it and somehow smiled. “Yeah. He’s nice. He’s fair and capable.”
James nodded. “Amazing. He doesn’t look much older than me. Must be great to be born rich.”
Sara paused and realized she didn’t know much about Edmund’s background. “-I don’t really know about that. I’ll ask next time.”
“Oh. He doesn’t look like a rich kid?”
“Not at all, actually.” Sara said. “But he does have expensive tastes.”
“I see.” James said with a scowl. But after a while, he gave Sara a squeeze. “No matter, he doesn’t have a beautiful wife like me. And I’m happy because of that.”
Sara paused, and felt James kiss her on the cheeks. It was a short kiss, nothing like the deep passionate one she shared with Edmund. She looked at her husband, and decided it was worth giving her husband another try. “-that’s not enough.”
Her husband grinned. “OH?”
Her husband moved in and kissed her longer. But she immediately felt the difference. It was clumsy. It was less passionate, even though her husband really wanted her. But she tried to match him. Kiss him back.
They kissed and kissed.
Then it was her husband who pulled away. “Whoah. You’re so greedy, Sara. You make me want to do it.”
Sara paused, a little surprised. She wasn’t feeling it much. But if her husband wanted it, she would oblige. “Oh. Okay.”
Sara hoped that having sex with her husband would remind her of their love. James made love to her eagerly, yet somehow, her nether regions were dry, and it’s as if she wasn’t in the mood.
Her husband got a lubricant, and poked her anyway.
Yet, as they made love that night, and felt her husband kissed her, her mind was thinking of what if life was different. She looked at her husband, and wondered why she was feeling this discontent in her heart.
She closed her eyes. She tried to focus on her husband. She shouldn’t think of another man at this time.
Her husband came inside her. She felt a warm feeling in a belly, and yet, looking at her husband, all she had was worry.
Would they be able to support a family? If she was pregnant, she wouldn’t be able to work as a model. In fact, she heard from some women that being pregnant was a death sentence for a model, because their body would change.
Somehow, she wished in her heart that she wasn’t. They were not ready.
Her husband kissed her. “I enjoyed that a lot, Sara.”
Sara smiled and lied. “Me too.”
