Olive’s POV~“You smell so good, baby!”“Get off me, *ssh*le.”It agitated my whole body in rage when Jonathan’s voice rang in my head. Pushing him away as hard as I could manage, my mind just warned me to run.Edward must have heard that and judging by the scene, I wasn’t even sure how to explain it to him.His indignant expression had enough to say what he contemplated. My heart was about to jump out of my mouth while running in a corridor and finding a maid.“Sorry, where is the room I was supposed to see my husband?”I asked, gasping and looking back to see if Edward was after me.“That one at the end of the corridor.”I rushed to the door and sneaked inside the room.The maid I went outside with should have told me where to wait for Edward, but she took off to pack the strawberries and I forgot to ask.We were about to go home but Johnathan came out of the blue. That reek rat. He descended upon my path like a predator.Elenore was careful to find a jerk just like herself and stuc
Olive’s POV~A destructive pain and irritation skittered between my legs, right in my intimate part, and I felt the flesh ripped apart.My eyes snapped open. I glanced at the ceiling.“This is not where I’m supposed to be!”It was the orphanage’s outworn building. The place was in the countryside near our city.I gasped and strived to sit, but I couldn’t. My body was scorching, my stomach twitched, and it pinned me to the worn-out bed.I wore a white nightgown and sweat drenched my body, glued the dress on my body.Drawing my palm on my forehead, I looked at it. Was I pulled out of a pool?Sitting straight with so much effort, I took in the surroundings, only to jump out of the creaking bed in terror.“What the h*ll am I doing here?”I was in the orphanage, and suddenly the groaning iron door ran wide, and two girls that I knew very well rushed inside.“We received a few aids this year.”My friend, Gia! We were sharing the same bed in this room. A year before, one of the room's walls
Edward’s POV.When I hung up on Kit’s call, I turned around to question the girl, but she fell unconscious.“h*ll, no! Hey!”I didn’t know her name.Approaching her, I discovered beads of sweat on her face. She fainted already, and it proved to me no one had touched her before.Wearing my shirt and pulling up my pants, I yelled, “Huxley!”Yanking the door open, I rushed out. My mind was blowing and progressing. What I just heard was impossible to digest.I felt my knees losing strength, and my heart lost the correct function of pumping blood.My vision blurred when I entered the corridor and saw Huxley running towards me.“Edward!”I could hear his voice, but it soon silenced when I asked him to call a doctor. It was just the whistle in my head again.After an hour, I was sitting by her side in my bedroom. My personal physician attended to her and checked up on everything I asked, step by step.“Was she truly a virgin?”The doctor wore a grim face. “Didn’t you know that?”I directed m
Edward’s POV~I parked the car near the shore for a while. The sun was rising and warm rays expanded along the water surface.Coming here with my mother was something else, but she was taken away from me, and my soul turned cold like this air.Until I saw this girl’s eyes. I did not have a prospect before about how one can melt the ice in my heart. Should I call it seduction? Or fate? But her manner wasn’t even close to seducing someone. She was just too real, too much for someone like John.And it stung my brain. How could such a person end up like this? Did she love her sister so much to sacrifice herself or did they delude her?I could not lie to myself. This girl attracted and enticed me. And I couldn’t deny that I was interested in her while she didn’t even attempt to catch my attention. Somehow, she tried to escape from me.If she was reluctant, why did she allow them to replace her?Could it be that she liked me?The icy breeze burned my cheeks, and I felt butterflies in my sto
Edward’s POV~Latching the door, I sat on the sofa next to her bedside. I stared at her and recalled the night that girl saved me.Sixteen years ago~My mother went on a business trip with my father two days ago, and I had to bear John’s constant bullies. My school was the best way to skip house difficulties.I didn’t want to stay alone with him, but I had no other choice.“Hey, Edward! Are you coming to the festival?”“Tobin!” I looked back over my shoulder.He pointed to his parents’ car.“No! You can go! Huxley hasn’t come yet. I’m not allowed to go without him.”Tobin looked up at the sky and continued, “Are you sure he would come to pick you up? It is getting dark!”“Don’t worry, it is better to wait here rather than make him worried. My parents are away, so it can trouble him. I don’t want him to be blamed because of me.”Tobin nodded and said farewell, going to his parents. He waved his hand. I responded with a bitter smile.I waited there for an hour and terror bobbled within
Edward's POV~Olive kept struggling to release herself from my grip. She did not recognize me and due to her illness, I could say she wasn't even sure where she was or if I was a real person."Let go of me, you b*st*rd!"But she had seen half of my face. Was she playing with me?I couldn't say but my rage flooded when I recalled how she tricked me. She was as shrewd as the rest of her family.She was shivering in fear, and it was obvious she had a defensive character about not being touched."You are a cunning woman, aren't you?"Her face reddened, but I didn't let go of her and held her intensely."You are not an innocent woman. You just pretend to be one only to buy yourself attention and mercy. Pathetic!""Stop it, you are an *ssh*le.""Edward, Help!"I wished that she wasn't manipulated by John. If so, she could stay with me. Her loyalty would be rewarded but first, she needed to be punished for what she had done. I wasn't a merciful human being forgiving mistakes. This one was a
Notice: Dear readers the system has a glitch and missing Chapters will appear on Monday working hours. I apologize for the error.Olive's POV~Touching my head, I looked up at him. He turned the light on, and I shut my eyes."Ouch!""Did you lock the door? I used my keys to get in!""Sorry, but I was unstable.""I don't remember if I did it! Nightmares didn't let go of me."He stared at me intently. I gulped, fearing that he would kill my father even for an illusion. He could accuse me."I have an arrangement for us!""What?" I stammered.I guessed he kept another surprise in his sleeves to torment me."From now onwards, you'll stay with me here in my chamber."I gazed at him with wide eyes, my cheeks blushed again."What is that face? Ordinary couples sleep together, aren't we included?"I nodded calmly.We were ordinary couples now?! Did he come up with another plan to embarr*ss me again?He approached with a food cart and gave me a gl*ss of orange juice.Taking a sip, I felt better
Edward's POV~Either time I came to the graveyard to visit my late mother, the throb in my heart escalated. I wasn't a good son. A good son would have protected her.I put the Lilly flower banquet down on the cold stone.Sitting and putting my hands in my pockets, I smiled to suppress my distress."Another year p*ssed, Mom! But this time, something happened. I got married to a gorgeous girl. Forgive me for not coming earlier. Perhaps one day I will come here with her. Her name is Olive. At first, I was certain of what I was going to do with her but now I'm unsure of it. I'm a cruel man, Mom!"Taking a breath, I looked up at the cloudy sky."Mother, I feel that she has done something to my heart. I need you to help me."That was true! I wanted my mom to help me. John was one step ahead the moment I decided to marry Elenore. It alerted me to be wary.He would never refrain from filthy actions to bring me down. And he wouldn't be satisfied only with that, he would make sure I die."John
