His Substitute Wife

~Flashback~"Let me go! My parents are worried about me!” My speech is hushed, and my eyes appear to hurt him.He brought me here after 'saving our lives.' I'm not sure why he felt compelled to bring me here. I assumed there would be no compensation for his help."Didn't you hear what your parents and I were discussing earlier? Didn't I say I'd take you home—- "When I spit in his face, he didn't complete what he was about to say. I took a step back and met with the bed's edge behind my knee.He cocked his head, incredulous at what I had done. I took note of the insults hurled at his neck."O-oh .. Aghh ..!" I gasped as he yanked my hair back, forcing me to look up.His eyes were on fire as he locked his gaze on me. He gritted his teeth."I've reached the end of my patience with you!" His voice became increasingly shrill, and he flung me into the bed.As my eyes filled with horror, I crept towards the headboard. He made large strides toward me. I don’t like what he is doing.I’m scare

Zaniyah Point of viewI flinched in response to his abrupt statement.I saw his nude body and a white bandage wrapped around his abdomen. He was just wearing some sort of black trousers. I could see his biceps and chest rather plainly. Although the blood was no longer visible, there were still remnants of crimson water oozing from his torso. I'm not sure how he received that wound. I was hesitant to ask him any other questions, knowing well that he would not respond. Perhaps he'll say bad things to me again.When I returned his gaze and took a few steps back, I saw he was peering at the picture frame I had shattered. My fist was clenched and I bit the bottom of my lip to avert a fight."What brought you out of your room?" As I predicted, his voice remained emotionless whenever he talked to me.I raised my eyes as I clung to the clasp of my palm, unable to let go of the tears that were going to flow. Yet, despite my inability to contain my emotions, he asked again."Do you expect you'l

Zaniyah's Point of ViewIt was just a few hours later that he offered the permission for us to go. My intention had been to bring just a few pieces of clothes, so I was taken aback when two helpers came with two bags of luggage. They put my clothing on and didn't leave even one with them.This is a road that I am not familiar with. There is no way I can term it "countryside" since I can still see the existing establishments. Throughout our trip, I simply sat and gazed out the window, not wanting to say anything because I didn't know what I should say to him.As a result of not noticing I had fallen asleep, I was unable to tell what time it was. Only then did I feel the bite of the wind on my skin when I saw the surroundings of night. The fact that I hadn't gone out of the house where Ambrose had imprisoned me for such a long period of time gave the impression that it is new for me to enjoy the air outside.I looked around and noticed that I was carried by Ambrose. Because of the way h

Zaniyah's Point of View"I told you that she would be living here starting today, and she will be your mother whether you like it or not.""I don't know how many times I have to tell you that I dislike her! I have no other mother except my biological mother!"I covered Brianna's ears so she wouldn't hear the two fighting."You! Let go of my sister!"Ambrose pulled her hand, so Violet's body was dragged and turned to her father's."And what are you going to do, huh?""We're going back to Grandma's house! You can live happily ever after with your mistress!"Ambrose lifted his hand, ready to hit Violet in the face, but I sprinted from him."Ambrose! Stop it! Don't force her!" Despite the fact that I was having a difficult time since I was carrying Brianna, I was still able to prevent him from doing anything.It would have been better for me to be here because I was alone in the house where he locked me up. Because I was accompanied by others here, I was somehow kept occupied.The only pr

Ambrose's Point of ViewI was just dumbfounded since earlier, I was working on my laptop, and the emails that were given to me by my secretary went completely blank over my head. This is more than merely an email because it also contains pictures of my secretary in her lingerie.My teeth clenched together as I thought of Zaniyah's expression earlier and how disappointing it must be for her to be living in my home today. As soon as we started discussing earlier, all of the alcohol that had been in my body was gone, and all I wanted to do was make an effort, because the only thing that went into my head was the image of how upset she was with me.I looked at the snapshot of my secretary once again, but as soon as Zaniyah's face appeared in my mind, I deleted the photograph instantly. It's almost as if someone is trying to warn me that I shouldn't hurt her any longer.I got to my feet and suddenly started leisurely strolling as I was at a loss for what to do.I stared blankly at the bed
