Beyond Love CHAPTER TWENTY
Disappointed, I got back to the dinning room, my cravings gone. As I stayed there, I contemplated whether I had committed a horrendous error marrying Ethan.Marrying Ethan had been a frantic move to get my family out of poverty and debts, yet the expense was turning out to be horrendously clear. My freedom and independence had been forfeited, and I was currently a prisoner in Ethan's hands.I realize that I would need to figure out how to explore this new life, to stand up for myself and make the best of the circumstances for the good of my loved ones. Yet, as I checked out the huge mansion, I was unable to get away from the inclination that I was in a tight spot, and that the journey ahead would be full of difficulties I would never have envisioned."Nima, could you please clear the table. I'm down for the day." I said to Nima who Ethan had positioned to take care of all my needs."But, ma'am, you haven't had anything.""I can't eat any longer, meet me in my room when you're done."
Beyond Love CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
His body scent, and how he mounted on me made me look forward to spending a romantic night with him. Just then, he turned his gaze to me, and murmured. "Are you okay? Are you enjoying it?"At first I didn't want to respond, I never wanted him to know I was beginning to appreciate intercourse with him. But I couldn't stop it anymore, I was out of this world already. Then I murmured,"Y…yeah, I am." I was unable to believe I was beginning to like sex with Ethan.We relished our time without restriction and to be truthful, Ethan is as magnificent as everything you can think.What occurred last night stunned me. I kept thinking back to the incredible evening with Ethan as I slept off in my bed. He was undeniably attractive and capable of making me forget my troubles. However, as I sat alone in his chamber, I found myself wishing that the situation had never arisen. I was so overcome with emotion that the only way to endure was to slip out of the room after he had slept off.Upon enteri

"Elah, I am sorry about what happened earlier." He said. "My father can be a little grueling. But please do not take it to heart." I wanted to trust him, but the way his father had goggled at me still tortured me."Ethan, there must be a cause for his reaction. You can talk to me. We are in this together, right?" Ethan broke, and sighed."I'll explain everything, I promise. But for now, I need to make sure he is comfortable. He may be unanticipated, and I do not want any misconstructions."I jounced, feeling a combination of interest and anxiety."Alright, Ethan. I trust you. Just promise me that you will speak to me about it when you can." Ethan seized my hand and gripped it gently. "I promise, Elah. For now, let's enjoy the time we have till he leaves. hereafter, he will be gone, and we can enjoy some quiet time." "But you never mentioned you have a father, not even before we got married. He was not even at our wedding?" "Elah, this isn't the best time to talk about this. Th

The corridor outside Ethan's room sounded chilly and unwelcoming. My solicitude continued to mount, and I kept forging on the door, hoping he'd answer it and tell me everything was okay. But the stillness from outside was blaring. Suddenly, the door to Ethan's room cracked. My heart soared with relief, and I anticipated seeing Ethan's face. But rather, it was Nima, my butler, who came. "Ma'am, are you okay?" Nima asked with solicitude. I sniffled, trying to recover my countenance."I don't know, Nima. I heard them fighting, and also Ethan ran after his father. I have been knocking, but he will not open the door." Nima's eyes betrayed her fear as she peered towards the locked door. "Let me try," she said. She tapped smoothly and called out to Ethan,"Mr. Ethan, it's Nima. Can you kindly open the door?" There was still no response. My uneasiness boosted, and I could see the same concern reflected in Nima's face. Nima turned back to me and said,"Ma'am, I believe we should give

"Dad, I didn't come because I wanted you to apologize to me. I have forgiven you." Tears dropped down my cheek. The hug was full of love and comfort. At that moment, I pondered not returning to Ethan's home, but I knew I couldn't break the agreement we'd made, and my father understood that too."How have you been holding up?""Dad, it hasn't been easy, especially now that Ethan's father just returned." I looked up at my Dad and immediately noticed the change in his expression. "Is anything the problem?"He sighed, trying to hide his expression. "How's Ethan?""Dad, what's the problem? I actually came here because of Ethan's father."He leaned forward in his seat and asked, "Did he do or say anything to you?""Not really, but I think he isn't accepting me as Ethan's wife yet." "Is there something you think he knows about us?" "Uhmm. No, I mean, we aren't that famous or wealthy like them, so what could we possibly do to get his attention." He said."I really don't get why he'd beha

"I would like to be alone please. And make sure you take care of yourself?""Yes ma'am." The night that followed was a sleepless one. I couldn't fathom the sudden shift in Ethan's conduct, and my anxiety for Nima weighed hard on my thoughts. I was so eager to know what his Father had against me. There were too many questions, and I badly wanted answers.I picked up my phone and called Thomas, we had exchanged numbers on the night of the business summit without Ethan's knowledge. "Hey Elah!" "Thomas, please I need to ask you something very important?" "Wo…wo. Are you okay?""I don't have much time but do you in any way know who Ethan's father is?""Yeah, I mean we're best friends so I…""I know, I mean what do you think about him? Is he a bad person or…?"Nah, but, I mean it depends on your relationship with him of course. But wait, why all these questions?""Alright, thanks." I said and hung up the call. In the middle of the uncertainty and dread, my drive to seek the truth beca
Beyond Love CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
In the evening, I got a text from my father, requesting me to see him. Incidentally, I picked up my phone and called him but the line was not accessible. "C'mon,c'mon. Pick your phone Dad." I called his line again and it was not going through. I knew asking Ethan if I wanted to go see my Father was only going to fall on deaf cognizance so I decided to sneak out. Unfortunately for me, immediately I opened the door to my office, James was standing right in front of me, which made me nearly run out of my skin."Are you okay?" "Y…yes, I am." I stammered.I resolved to embrace this chance to confide in James who seemed like he had my best interests at heart. "James, please I need you to help me?" "What's that?" I pulled him into my office and shut the door."Please, I need to leave the office now. There's something important I need to attend to?" "Uhmmm…okay?""All I want you to do is to stand for me just in case Ethan asked about me.""And where do I tell him you went to?""You can
Beyond Love CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
I turned to Stella who was now feeling so pompous and proud. I wiped the little tears that were almost falling out and said. "I'm sorry Stella. I'm sorry for the harsh words I said to you."Ethan walked out and Stella followed without saying a word. The coworkers that gathered watching us began to murmur. Most of them knew Stella was wrong but they wondered why Ethan had made me apologize instead. James came to me and placed his hands on my shoulders."I'm sorry.""You don't have to be. I guess I'll have to get used to things like this." "Stella had always been like this, stepping on people's toes and making lies about it. You just have to be careful around her.""Yeah, I will. Thank you James." Just then, his phone rang and his attention was needed at the office so he left. I turned and exited the room, my eyesight dimmed by weeping. I couldn't understand why Ethan had treated me this way, and I couldn't grasp how rapidly our relationship had deteriorated. The one person I had
