Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 11: Strange Mood
~Lora~“You should have just died.” The haunting voice of Ivy jolted me awake.My eyes flew open as I sucked in a sharp breath, my hand pressing hard against my chest while my heart pounded wildly. For a moment I could only stare at the unfamiliar ceiling above me, my breathing uneven as confusion slowly crawled into my mind.I'm at the hospital.Did I… die again?The thought struck me so suddenly that my body stiffened.Panic rushed through me and I immediately yanked the IV needle out of my wrist, ignoring the sting as I pushed myself off the bed and staggered toward the calendar hanging on the wall. My legs felt weak and unsteady beneath me, my head throbbing with a dull ache that made my vision blur for a second.I forced myself to focus, and when the numbers finally became clear, a wave of relief washed over me so strongly that my knees nearly gave out.2023.Only two days had passed.Thank God… I survived that fall.The memory of it made my stomach twist uneasily.Slowly, I wa
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 10: One Step From Death
~Lora~My brows slowly furrowed as I listened and a knot formed in my stomach.Because things were more complicated than I thought.And if it's about money, it makes no sense.Michael already had more money than my family ever did.Honestly, whatever truth they're hiding, I have to find out.“I just don’t know why she has to be so stubborn,” Michael continued with frustration.“I’ve tried all these years to kill that side of her… but stupidly that idiot had to bring it back again.” He pushed himself to his feet as he spoke, like the thought alone filled him with fresh anger.That idiot? Alex.What has he got to do with any of this?“Exactly what I’m saying, babe,” Ivy replied gently, stepping closer to him. “You know how emotional she is. Which is why you have to be patient with her.” Her voice dropped slightly as she leaned nearer.God. These people are worse than I thought.“Come here… hmm,” Ivy murmured softly as she suddenly grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him closer.
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 09: What Truth?
~Lora~I glanced up at the wall clock for what felt like the hundredth time.Twenty whole minutes had passed, still no sign of George, no call back from Adrian.Not even Alex… maybe the call actually went through before I cut it off. Just maybe he saw it and he’s trying to reach me back right now.Or maybe not.A quiet sniff escaped me as I let my head fall back against the wall. The cold surface pressed into my skull, but it did nothing to calm the chaos in my chest. If there is anything worse than this feeling, I might actually welcome it.Because tell me why it suddenly felt so hard to breathe.My chest rose and fell too quickly, each breath coming out shaky, uneven. And Clara’s voice… God, her voice just keeps playing in my head like a broken recording, over and over.Even after all these years of convincing myself I was strong. That I was over it and didn’t need therapy. That whatever happened back then had no power over me anymore.But the mind has a cruel way of dragging yo
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 08: Tears And Fear
~Lora~I shoved myself inside my room with everything I had left, slammed it shut, and locked it. My back hit the door as I collapsed against it.My heart was out of control.Fear burned through me and hot tears streamed down my face.I slid to the floor, shaking, drenched in sweat, barely able to breathe.“Why?” I screamed, clawing at my hair. “Why?”The answer came as violence…a loud crash exploding outside the door, glass shattering as something heavy hit the wall.A vase.Then his voice followed. “You’re trying to set me up, aren’t you?” he yelled. “You want people to think I’m abusive?”He laughed…short, sharp and ugly. “But I always win,” he continued. “You’ll regret this.”His fist slammed against the door.I flinched hard, sobbing louder.“Open this damn door!” he shouted, hitting it again.“No!” I screamed back. “Get away from me, you bastard!”He went quiet.For a few seconds, there was nothing but my breathing and the sound of my heart pounding in my ears.Then his tone ch
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 07: Red Eyes
~Lora~“Mic… Michael… please,” I gasped, my voice shaking. “It hurts. Let me go.”I struggled inside his arms, my body twisting, fighting, begging for space. But he didn’t move, not even an inch.Instead, he slid his hands up, slowly and deliberately until his fingers wrapped tightly around my neck.My eyes widened..And worse, his eyes were red now.It was empty, wild, like he wasn’t fully there anymore.“Michael… I can’t…” I tried to breathe, tried to speak. “I can’t… breathe. Le…” The words died in my throat.My vision blurred, and I felt my strength drained fast, like water slipping through my fingers.“Why don’t you ever fucking listen to me?” he snarled, squeezing harder. “You enjoy pissing me off, huh?”“No…” I choked, each breath came out broken, shallow and useless. My legs felt weak, I was trapped.Desperate, I stretched one arm out, fingers shaking, reaching for anything…anything…that could save me. Something to get him off me before it was too late.At the kitchen table
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 06: Audacity
~Lora~Oh God, If sin ever knocked on my door, it would sound like this…Alex’s breath warm against my skin, his arms locked around me like he’d rather break than let go.And the worst part?He didn’t even need to ask.Deep down, he already knew how badly I wanted him. How easy it would be to forget everything and give in. To feel all of him, everywhere, and stop fighting for once.I drew in a slow breath, forcing my heart to calm, even as it thrashed against my ribs. The words slipped out before I could stop them, words I knew I’d regret the moment they left my mouth.But this wasn’t what I needed, not now. “Alex… I…I can’t do this,” I whispered.He didn’t answer.We just stood there in silence, our breathing loud in the space between us as the moment slowly settled.Then his arms came around me anyway, firm, steady, grounding. “I fucking miss you,” he said into my hair.After a beat, his voice dropped, quieter but heavier. “But…I’ll wait. Until you stop lying to yourself.”He pull
