Her Husband's Wrath

Prologue Do you hear it? I hear it. The deafening ambulance’s sound that shatters my eardrums. I can hear voices from different people but I don't understand a word. Have you ever been under the water and you cannot hear everything vividly? That's exactly how it feels. It feels like I am under the water and my ears are filled with water that I don't understand what they were saying. The sky, I see the sky. It was bright—too bright that it blinds my eyes. I see unfamiliar faces staring at me, but I couldn't identify any of them. They were too blurred for me. My body. I couldn't feel a thing; I can't feel my own body like I was numb. What's happening? Where am I? “FREYA!” Perhaps, I went out under the water. That's the only thing I heard clearly. Slowly, my eyes landed on a very familiar woman crying over someone. Along with the loud sound of the ambulance, her shattering voice and cry invaded my ears as if she was mourning. I couldn't move, not even my fingers. The next th

Chapter 2 I was standing on the balcony of my room, watching the clouds move in the sky. Today is the wedding. I am already wearing the wedding gown that I designed myself. I designed this a long time ago and I never once expected that I would be the one to wear this as well. In a few hours, I will be tied to Elijah. In my entire life, I never once thought that this day would happen. Who would have thought that I would marry the man that was once a lover of Freya? I don't know if I should be happy or not. Everything just feels heavy ever since Freya died from the accident. “You still have time to run away,” I was standing alone when I heard her. I didn't waste my time looking at her anymore. I heard her footsteps coming towards me as she went inside the room. “I won't run away,” I uttered as I heavily sighed. “Are you okay?” She asked beside me. I glanced at her for a moment, her words warmed me. She was already wearing a sleeveless rose gold semi-gown with a slit on its left

Chapter 4 That night it rained; it was a very heavy rain as if the sky was filled with rage. I could feel my tears slipping out of my eyes while looking at the white ceiling of the room. Elijah's scent was all over me. I could still feel his touch as if his hands were still traveling every corner of my body. The middle of my legs was sore—and I could feel it all like it was burning and wrecked. “W-Where are you going?” He caught my attention in one snap even how stuttered I was when he didn't even lay down beside me. He was all naked in front of me and he didn't mind. For so many years that we have been together as friends and as my sister's lover, I never once imagined myself being with him on this kind of night where we are both naked with our torn hearts and souls. “The honeymoon is done,” he replied without giving me an eye. I crumpled the sheet of blanket covered on my body. He sounded like he just portrayed his role as the groom in this wedding. My womanhood is bu

Chapter 6“Ms. Faith,” I heard the maid calling me again. Elijah began to wear his shirt, as if kissing and bringing a woman in our house wasn't a wrong thing at all. Tears are welling out in my eyes and I knew that at any moment they would slip out. “I'm going upstairs,” that is all that I could say. Everything became heavier. Making a step to go upstairs like nothing happened at all was the hardest thing to do. My entire body was feeble; my hands and legs were trembling in weakness. A dagger was stabbed in my chest and I could feel its pain invading the entire me. “The dinner is ready,” one of the maids broke the ice between me and Elijah. I glanced at him and I didn't even see any glimpse of conscience. “You should eat first,” the maid beside me said. She looks concerned, they all do—except for Elijah who doesn't care at all. I feel like they stepped on me, crushing my legality and rights as his wife. “I'm fine,” I replied and forced a tiny smile as much as I could. “Ms. Fai

Chapter 8“Sleep in my house from now on,” Lily captured my eyes in one snap. Does she hear herself? “My house is always open for you, Faith. Uh, you also have your condo. Why not stay there? Or just choose where do you like to stay—”“Hold on,” my brows crossed while I was processing everything they were saying right after they brought me back to my shop. I saw Elijah leaving earlier. He didn't even say anything back there. I tilted my head and made an awkward chuckle. “I can't do that,” I said. They both froze. Their eyes were both glued at me. “What do you mean you can't? If you're scared of Elijah, don't worry about him.” Lucas said with no fear at all. He looks chill as if he can handle Elijah in a blink of an eye. “I'll talk to my lawyer to help you with the divorce pap—”“No,” that one word made them both pause. I think that was enough to cut out the thoughts filling their heads. “No?” Lucas asked, probably befuddled. “I'm not filing a divorce. We've already talked abo
