I’d been staying at Amirah’s rest house for several days. We both turned off our phones to avoid any disturbance. So far, the quiet, the sea breeze, and the view had been a balm to my mind. But I still tried not to get too caught up in the peace. If I did, I’d start wondering if anyone even cared about me.

Especially Mommy. She was probably stressed by now. But Daddy? I knew he’d only start looking for me because of the company merger with Mr. Harrison.

“Girl! Come here, quick!” Amirah’s voice rang out from below. I was lying on the veranda, and she was looking up at me.

“Why?”

“Just come down!” she yelled.

I laughed before deciding to go. As I stepped down, I noticed she had company.

“Come here, B. I want you to meet this beautiful family!” Amirah beamed, pulling me toward them.

“What if they tell Daddy about us?” I whispered.

“Sheesh! They don’t even know him!”

The family smiled warmly at us—a couple, two sons who looked a little older than us, and two girls somewhere betwee

  • Despised Relationships (English Version)    Chapter 13

    I erased what had happened that day. Or at least, I tried to. I kept silent. He heard nothing from me, and he said nothing either.We fell back into our routine, as if nothing had happened. Back to what was "normal" for us. Normal meaning... I was his wife, but I didn't exist in his life. Normal, meaning, we sometimes ate together, but it was like strangers sharing a table at a restaurant. No greetings, no small talk. Just silence.And I told myself it was fine. At least he no longer came home drunk, because now, he drank inside the house.But one night, that illusion shattered.Because Steve came home...with a woman.I froze when I opened the door. My eyes widened, my heart dropped. They weren't just standing together—they were kissing. His mouth pressed against hers so hungrily, as though the world didn't exist.I couldn't look away. I hated myself for watching, but it felt like being stabbed again and again, and my body refused to move. They only stopped when they noticed me."Oh!

  • Despised Relationships (English Version)    Chapter 12

    My plan to wake up early, so Steve wouldn't realize what had happened, failed. Because when I opened my eyes, he was already gone. I didn't know what his reaction had been when he woke up and saw me beside him last night. Or if he had even noticed at all.I sat against the headboard, clutching Steve's comforter tightly around me. My eyes closed as fear crept into me—fear that maybe, now, he hated me even more. After all, the one beside him wasn't Nicole.The sound of the bathroom door startled me. My breath caught in my throat when he walked out. The man I had been waiting for, the man who haunted my every thought. His hair was wet, a towel wrapped low on his hips, his bare chest glistening.I pulled the blanket higher, hiding myself, my heart racing with a mixture of shame and longing. He looked at me without expression as he rubbed his hair dry."What are you still doing there? Why don't you get dressed and go back to your room?" His voice was cold, detached, before he disappeared i

  • Despised Relationships (English Version)    Chapter 11

    I noticed that Steve had been leaving for several days. He never ate here anymore, so I always ended up eating alone. I didn't know where he went, but he always came home drunk. Not too drunk, though—he could still manage to drive himself back. Every time he was drunk, I often screamed at him, but in the end, I ignored it all, even though it hurt me deeply. I forced myself to understand.And now, here I am, waiting for him to come home again. No matter how many times he kicks me out, I don't care. I don't know when it began, but... my crush on him grew into something heavier, something more painful. I woke up one day realizing I wanted to take care of him, that I wanted him to accept me too. I wanted to keep Nicole's request—that I shouldn't get tired of Steve. Because I wanted to believe, even just a little, that one day he would learn to love me back.The sound of the door startled me, and I immediately stood to open it. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if one day the door broke do

  • Despised Relationships (English Version)    Chapter 10

    We now stood before a large house inside the subdivision, Steve’s house. It was a gift from his parents. We could have had two maids, but Steve refused. His reason to our parents was that we needed to “learn.” But I knew the truth. He simply didn’t want them here.When we entered, the house was spotless and fully furnished.“There are two rooms here. I don’t want anyone in my room,” Steve said flatly before walking off.He carried his belongings upstairs while I stared at my suitcase. Then I looked up at the stairs. With no choice, I heaved a deep sigh. I had to carry it myself. It was heavy and tiring, but I eventually managed to drag it up. The moment I entered my room, I collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. Sleep almost claimed me until Steve’s knock jarred me awake.“Hey! Cook lunch! I’m hungry!” His voice boomed through the door.I groaned and forced myself up lazily. “Yeah!” I answered, then changed into something comfortable.I went downstairs in pajamas and an oversized shirt, m

  • Despised Relationships (English Version)    Chapter 9

    The day my parents had been waiting for had finally arrived. But not me. When it’s a day you don’t wish for, it always comes too fast.I stood before the mirror. Dressed in a stunning gown, my face touched with makeup, and my hair neatly styled. I stared at my reflection without emotion. In just a few minutes, we would be leaving for the church. I felt no excitement, only heaviness. The knock on my door jolted me back.“Czes! Come out now, we’re heading to church!” Daddy called from outside.I sighed deeply before standing up and opening the door. There he was, waiting in his black tuxedo. He looked so handsome, so elegant, standing tall and proud. If only this was my marriage to someone I truly loved and who loved me back, I would have praised him wholeheartedly. Instead, I felt like I was only waiting for this wedding to end.Daddy guided me carefully down the stairs until I slipped into the car. Mommy sat in front, silent, while the ride remained quiet from start to finish. None of

  • Despised Relationships (English Version)    Chapter 8

    Instead of enjoying my day off, here I am, mumbling to myself in my bedroom. No energy to go out. No desire to take a walk just for fun. Whatever I do, my mind stays chained to what’s happening. How can I enjoy anything when my heart is heavy with resentment? I lean back against the headboard and slip my earphones in, letting the music hum faintly. If I could stay here all day, I would. But Daddy said the people bringing my gown were coming to measure me. They said it was already made, and they’d only adjust it if needed. Tss. Before… I used to dream about wearing a beautiful white gown and walking down the aisle. Now, I just hope it won’t happen. Not like this. A knock breaks the stillness. I pull my earphones out, place my phone on the bed, and get up to open the door. Two smiling gay men greet me in unison. Behind them stands Mommy, her face unreadable. “Good morning, ma’am!” they chime together. I want to return the smile, but I can’t—not when my chest feels like this.
