Chapter 7

Narat’s POV

The bed felt so comfortable that I really did not want to get up anytime soon. I had not felt this relaxed in a long time.

Wait a second.

Why did my bed have a heartbeat? Why did it hold me?

I opened my eyes slowly. HUH!! Why was I in Kasit’s arms? He cuddled me like I was his lover.

I got up immediately. “What are you doing on the bed with me, you pervert!!!”

“I will call you back later, nagging wife I ended up with.” He ended the FaceTime call.

“Good morning, hubby!!” He looked at me and reached out. I knew he had naughty plans. I slapped him hard across the face.

“Get away from me, you asshole!!”

He laughed and touched his cheek. “I must be crazy right now… YOU!!!” His voice dropped. His eyes turned dead cold. He looked scary.

He pulled me back down with force. This time he was on top. He pinned both my hands above my head with one hand. “Let me go, you jerk! You are trying to force yourself on me, but it will not work.”

“Are you serious? Do you think I am a rapist?”

“Yes, that is exactly what you are!!!” I could not believe he tried this after I agreed to the marriage. He had no right.

“You snuck into my bed overnight just to force yourself on me.”

He stared at me like I was a ghost. “You pretend so well, Narat. Yes, I tried to have my way with you because I got horny. Is there a problem with that?” His grip tightened a little.

“Let me go this instant, you asshole.”

“But I am just getting started.” His free hand slid down. It slipped under the waistband of my undies. His fingers touched my dick…..warm and deliberate. He wrapped his hand around it slowly from base to tip. His thumb grazed the head in one lazy stroke.

I opened my mouth to curse him again. A loud moan came out instead. “Ohh… hum!!”

He leaned close. His breath felt hot against my ear. “Now you know who is in charge.” His hand moved again……slow pull down, then up. The grip stayed firm but calm. My hips twitched against my will.

He paused. His thumb circled the tip once more. It spread the wetness there. Another long, teasing stroke. My breath caught. My body betrayed me.

Then he stopped. He let go completely. He pulled his hand out.

“Let’s get ready for breakfast, pretty mouth.” He released my wrists and got off the bed. He acted casual like nothing happened.

I tried to catch my breath. My chest heaved.

What just happened?

Did I really melt under his touch? I am straight. I should not enjoy anything he does.

“To hell with your breakfast. I am out of here.”

In my sister's hospital ward, I held her hands, tears streaming down my face as I stared at her still comatose form.

Anna's words echoed in my head: “Last night her ammonia levels spiked dangerously again. The doctors said the brain edema was worsening, and she was at risk of never waking up. They rushed her into emergency liver transplant surgery, but I was afraid to tell you the full details so you wouldn't have a panic attack. The good news is we found a donor match in time. It was the only way to stop the poison building in her system... but I worry just like you. It's been a year already since she has been in coma, and yet,she's still not responding. The bills are already in the millions, and we're drowning. I'll keep trying harder, look for more jobs to help you. Your sister is important to me too!”

“Chutima!!” I called her name, my heart breaking. “Please wake up! Don't leave me like our parents did. You are the only one I have left. I promise to make money and take care of you, so please wake up already.”

I bowed my head close to hers, still holding her fragile little fingers.

She is all I have.

My sister Chutima has adult-onset type II citrullinemia, also called Citrin deficiency. It struck suddenly when she turned twenty, causing hyperammonemic encephalopathy. The high ammonia poisoned her brain and plunged her into this coma that has lasted a full year now.

When will she open her eyes again? When will I hear her tiny, cute voice calling me to say breakfast is ready?

I stayed with her for a long time before I went to meet the doctor. I begged him to give me more time. I will clear all the bills now that I have Kasit.

“When were you going to tell me you have a boyfriend?”

“HUH!!” I pointed at myself, completely confused.

“Stop playing dumb with me. Your phone kept ringing nonstop, so I decided to answer it.” She had picked up Kasit’s call. What do I do now?

I can’t lie to her.

How on earth am I going to tell her I married him just last night?

“Narat, you are hiding a lot from me. You never told me you were into men. Guess I really don’t know you after all.” She frowned, arms crossed.

“Okay, I will tell you, but let me clear the record first….I am not into men. Remember that morning I came home with love bites all over?”

She stayed calm, eyes wide open, waiting for the rest.

“Turns out he is my CEO at the new company where I got accepted to work. But it was just a mistake, nothing more.” I left out the marriage part for now.

“Anna!! Why is your mouth still open? Are you okay?”

Her expression looked weird. “Who would believe I get to witness a BL series in real life?”

“YOU ARE INSANE!! I’m going to get something to eat.”

“Wait……..tell me more please! Is he hot? Strong…?”

My first day at work, and I woke up really late after falling asleep in the kitchen. I rushed to catch a taxi and prayed silently that Kasit would not arrive at the company before me. According to the email about my role as his executive assistant, I needed to get there early, prepare his coffee, and have everything ready.

When I arrived, the lady I met during my interview whispered, “You are so dead!! Our boss is really angry. Better make his coffee fast.”

I nodded quickly and hurried to prepare it. I rushed out of the break room toward his office when I collided hard with a woman, spilling the hot coffee all over her dress.

This was a total mess on my first day.

“I’m so sorry, miss! I swear I didn’t mean—”

Before I could finish, she slapped me hard across the face. The sting shocked me silently.

“How dare you ruin my dress my lover Kasit got for me!? I will kill you!!” She slapped me again, even harder.
