A Marriage Deal To Remember Ch. 72 - TALKING WITH THE DEMON
JENSYNThe darkness consumed me and pressed against my eyelids. I blinked once to get accustomed to my surroundings. I couldn't even see myself. I should have been in this room for hours. Who would notice my absence?Willow. And then Linden.Where would they start looking for me?A low whirl cut through the silence (I just noticed it). It was a fan. The coldness penetrated into my body and I shivered. I wanted to cover myself up with my arms then I realised I couldn't move it. My ankles refused to separate, something tugged across my wrists. A burn came when I tried to release myself but couldn't. I felt whatever restrained me with my fingers and it dawned on me.I had been tied down.My throat itched to release a scream but it never left my lips—my lips wouldn't even part. My throat was thick and dry. There was some soft piece of cloth in my mouth. Panic rushed through me and I screamed in silence.I twisted and wriggled but nothing bulged. The chair I sat on cracked with every mo
A Marriage Deal To Remember Ch. 71 - I SURRENDER TO BE TAKEN
JENSYNThe chandelier shone like fireworks above our heads, scattering tiny flecks of light here and there around the marble floor of the hall. The heels I wore echoed softly with the jazz bumming around. I stayed close to my husband's side, my arms were curled around his own making us look like the ideal couple in love.I knew how to play my cards well. Being with Linden like this made me move with power and a feeling that I was untouchable.I wore red, of course.And when I say that, I don't mean rose red or cherry red. I mean deeper read, bloody read, crimson red, dark red that looked like secrets never to be told had been stitched into me. The dress clung to me like it was born with me. It stopped mid-thigh with a slit that kissed my thigh. I had no necklace on (that wasn't needed at all). This dress didn't need one.After a while of showcasing myself with Linden, I found Willow (yes, I was more natural with her) because she was the first person I knew I had to find. She wore a pa

JENSYNWillow's laughter rang across the room in that soft and slow manner. It was the type of laugh that came from a place of genuine joy. It struck me that my presence meant a lot to her and I was glad I could give her my time. “I swear,” Willow was saying, rubbing the side of her belly. “If one more person gifts me a yellow onesie, I might scream, because what's all this? They are breaking my heart.”I picked one of the yellow pin-down tops and held it up. It was a beautiful thing to own and I immediately wanted to keep one of them for my baby in future. “Yellow is a neutral colour, Willow,” I said and went on. “Since no one knows the gender of the baby, I think it's only natural that they give you this colour for now.”Her eyes flickered down to her bump. “But I don't like it, I want special things for my baby. Fuck, it's my first!”“If you want something special, we'd have to do the shopping ourselves,” I went on, nudging her with my elbow. “I used to work at this boutique stor
A Marriage Deal To Remember Ch. 69 - A TIME TO WALK AWAY WILL COME
JENSYNLev called me out again for coffee and I accepted. I had wanted to reach out to him since I found that shawl in Linden's library. It had been yesterday since the initials C.W stuck to my head. I needed to ask someone about the shawl. And Lev… he might just know. We were seated on the outdoor terrace of the café he first invited me to. He was flipping through the menu like he didn't already know what they offered, sunglasses perched on his nose. Ask him, Jensyn. That silly voice screamed at me.I clasped my fingers together and leaned into the table. “Lev?”He didn’t look up. “Mm?”“Does the name—or rather, the initials C.W mean anything to you?”His brows furrowed and he dropped the menu. “C.W?’“Yeah, C. W. I happened to find the initials engraved on a baby shawl I found in Linden's library.”His pause lingered too long to be casual. He waited for a beat before he spoke again, carefully. “What were you doing in his library?”“I was cleaning,” I said quickly like he'd accused
A Marriage Deal To Remember Ch. 68 - A BURIED SECRET
JENSYNI turned off the cooker and checked on the toast in the machine. It was slightly burnt at the edges, just the way I knew Linden liked it. I placed it gently on the plates beside the eggs Andrea fried. Linden wouldn't eat much in the morning, but I still woke up at 6am to prepare his breakfast and lunch. He took toast every morning, two running eggs with a bit of salt and black pepper, bacon and hot coffee with milk.Simple meal for a husband.I had started preparing his breakfast about a week ago. The maids were not allowed to do it. They would only help with lunch and dinner, not breakfast.The coffee mug was in my hands when footsteps bounced into the kitchen. Andrea left the kitchen about three minutes ago and she said she wouldn't be back until she was done bathing. I pivoted and saw Linden walking into the kitchen, phone tucked between his shoulder and ear, his hand adjusting his cufflinks on his shirt neck.“Good morning, Jensyn.” He muttered between a short breath and a
A Marriage Deal To Remember Ch. 67 - A PAST THAT'D KILL YOU
LINDEN (Twenty three years old)I was dreaming.Not about my mother humming a funeral song in the bathroom, not about the times she would snap and destroy cups and plates and upturn chairs. I was dreaming about something else and I doubt it's because the night was cold enough to make me sink into bed harder than I would have, or because the silence in the room felt like a suffocating fog, but because the ache in my chest had come back with too much uncertainty that I questioned what happened in the past.I stood in that living room again. The small house I lived in all my life in college.The same small house I shared with Lev. The one with cream-coloured walls, comfortable sofas and the kitchen that was cleaned to perfection because Lev took care of it every day.I was soaked with sweat, confusion coursed through me. My phone was clutched in my hand, the last words I heard still echoed through my ears."She has given birth."I couldn't sit since I heard the news. My legs and body wou
