- LORELEI -

The moment I stepped into my room, I banged the door shut and huffed while leaning my back on the door.

My fingers wandered around my chest, trying to feel my heartbeat. My heart is pounding really hard and fast against my chest. What the heck was that? Why on Earth does he have to be so infuriating and scary?

And large. And direct. And dominating.

My breath hitched as I let my mind wander back to when he stood in front of me.

He has pretty eyes and thick, long eyelashes. And he's pretty. And hot. Even though I hate him for buying me and forcing me to marriage because of a motive, he sure has some good qualities. Physical qualities.

My body sank down and my ass dropped hard on the floor. I rested my head and body on the door all through the slide and huffed. He dislikes me too, you know, I thought, staring at the pink wall in front of me. All he wants to do is ruin me. My throat tightened at the thought. I have heard rumours about him yet I didn't really care about them

  • MY ARRANGED HUSBAND IS THE MAN I CHEAT ON HIM WITH    NINETY FIVE

    - ACE - A knock on my door alerts me, diverting my attention to it. “Who is it?” I question, my voice crude and slightly irritated. If there’s one thing I hate the most, it is being disturbed, even when I’m doing nothing. By anyone at all. It makes my blood boil. “Lorelei.” The name that resounded behind those doors makes my torso jerk up from my bed, wide eyed. I feel my chest heave as I let out a heavy breath. That was fast. Has she decided too soon? Or did she come to meet me to rant? I can’t tell. In all the weeks we’ve been married, Lorelei has never knocked on my door. At least, not after that night. Not after she threw herself on me in the lingerie I bought for her and I rejected her advances. I clear my throat. I don’t know what to expect, but I’ll find out now. “Come in.” I say. The door comes open slightly, revealing her to me. I take a good look at the woman before me. She’s clothed in a tank top and palazzos. I have to admit, I would prefer a little more ski

  • MY ARRANGED HUSBAND IS THE MAN I CHEAT ON HIM WITH    NINETY FOUR

    - LORELEI - What is wrong with me? I have never felt so defeated yet not at the same time. I have never been so consumed with negative emotions to the point where my body is trembling with terror at the news. To the point where it feels like my heart is about to rupture with overwhelming emotions and not in a good way. To the point where my body cannot control itself and shakes vigorously in terror. My throat feels heavy and my chest feels clamped up. It's almost as if I can barely breathe. I let my other hand fold over my palm, with the aim to stop it from quivering as violently as it already is but that only worsens my cause. Now, my entire being feels like it is on fire. I let out an exhale, running my hands through my hair while trying to take control of my breathing. I don't even know if this is working but I keep going regardless. Finally, at the expense of my arms, it has been revealed to him that it was no ordinary accident, I swallow, although I already knew that. The voi

    - ACE -I didn't think it good to not inform her. Whether now was the right time or not, only she can be the judge of that. I will just watch her reaction to know. Lorelei looks stiff, like she's processing the information. I wait for her to give me an answer first, standing at the far end across the room. For some reason, I think my distance will do her some good. And possibly me too. Who knows what may come flying my way now that's she's recovering and full of strength. "For how long have you known?" Are the first words that leave her lips after a long pause which seemed would have lasted forever. I let out a sigh, unsure of how to answer. The truth won't hurt now. "The night you fainted." I respond. The scoff that leave her lips goes straight to my ears. It seemed to me that it voiced out the words; and you're just telling me now? Without her actually vocalising it, but honestly speaking, when did I have the chance say anything to her? When she was in the private hospital bed o

  • MY ARRANGED HUSBAND IS THE MAN I CHEAT ON HIM WITH    NINETY TWO

    - LORELEI - I do not get it. It feels like a set up the more I look into it. It simply does not make any sense. How can someone keep a keen eye on me to the extent of meeting a waitress I had an encounter with prior, to give me a harmful drug? What if I had not starved at all that day, would the story have been different or would I have been served a spiked drink? And if in fact I was served a spiked drink, would it have had the same effect it did when my stomach was literally empty? I can't tell. I still don't know the name of the drug and I have no way of finding out as I had already consumed it and rested for quite a long few days, which is enough time for it to have worn out of my system so I cannot run a test using my blood either, especially since I currently am on medication. I also have no idea who the medical specialist who took care of me is and that leaves me at a huge disadvantage because apparently, my 'husband' has been yapping all over about 'keeping me in good healt

    - ACE -"Is it just me or do you spend an unusual amount of time bathing?" I ask with an intention to ridicule and maybe slightly stir her up. "Try bathing with two sore arms and a barely recovering body for a change." She tsks. That's a reminder to me that I hurt her arms. I'm not very pleased with what I've done."For someone who's bathing in her own filth, you sure do take your time." I push, diverting my attention from the voices in my head. I can't help it, I enjoy seeing her rattled up. Her mean side has become something I'm used to, my sadistic personality aside. The soaking of the linen at the back of my body accompanied with the sound of a heavy splash of water is apparently my answer. My face flattens. She literally gave me a bath water shower. "You better not turn your back, pretty boy. Or I will never let you live it down."I see nothing wrong with a man seeing his wife naked but I don't make a remark on that. I'm more concerned about my ruined attire but I don't think i

  • MY ARRANGED HUSBAND IS THE MAN I CHEAT ON HIM WITH    NINETY

    - LORELEI - Does one say thank you to the cause of her misery? Does one show gratitude to the aid offered by someone she would rather be away from? That, I do not know. I cannot understand this new attitude of his and it seriously bugs me. Ace has a way of being kind to me then switching his attitude immediately. Nothing is certain with him, at least, not without a catch. “Turn around.” I say sternly the moment we’re at the start of the tub. I want to take my clothes off and I don’t want him to see me do so. To my surprise, he turns, his back is now to me. I blink. This obedience without a word is scary to me. Can I even refer to this as obedience? He’s just doing as I request and it is very new to me. Very strange. “Did you hit your head against a wall from last night till now?” My curiosity is ardent. The chuckle that reverberates through the tiled bathroom walls makes goosebumps pop all over my skin. “Don’t push your luck, princess.” Princess? My brows furrow. I stretc
