I close the door behind her. The moment she is out of my house, I rest my back on the door, shutting my eyes as I lay a hand on my chest.

The best news always comes when least expected. I’m glad for this one. If I had gotten anything worse than this, I may not have been able to take it.

“I guess I should leave. Think you’d be fine on your own?” Isabel asks, walking towards me. I had no idea she was anywhere near me, I thought she waited back there, close to Lorelei while I escorted the doctor out. I let my lips curl to the side, signifying a smile. I’m more relaxed now than I was before. While I am still utterly disgusted and furious at myself, at least, I know I have time to change. Time to make things right.

“Thank you for tonight. I don’t know how I would’ve coped if you weren’t here.” I say, my tone calm.

“You need me. I’ve come to accept that over the years.” She gloats. Haha, that is very valid. I’ll let it slide this time because it’s true. I let my eyes re

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

    - ACE - Remember when I told her I would let her be the moment I walked out of her room with a promise to be back? Well, I had no idea that I wouldn’t want to be away from her for long. It hasn’t even been ten minutes yet but I want to go and check in on her. How do I know how much time whiled away? I kept on checking my watch. It’s insane. How does one prioritise someone he detests this much? How does one try to keep the person he detests safe? Why would someone in their right mind think about opening up the pharmacy of someone that obviously aggravates him right after he destroyed it and manipulated her into thinking it was due to his plan to make her miserable under his care? And why do I seem to care about her wellbeing whenever her health declines? These are questions I keep asking myself over and over again, every damn time because as many answers I come up with, none seem to satisfy me. I already accept that I feel something for her. Now the thing is, what do I do with

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

    - LORELEI - I feel my eyelids soak with tears begging to run down my face at the taste of food. It’s just bread with typical healthy fillings inside yet it gives me some sense of fullness. I sniff, munching on another sandwich the moment I finish the one in my hand. This doctor, whoever it is, thank you for giving me more than one sandwich to eat when I awaken. And for not making it taste like boring hospital food. I stretch my other hand out to grab the glass of juice close to the glass of water by my bed side and drown it down my throat. I was starving. And I’m very hungry. I cannot remember anything past the last thing I witnessed before passing out. All I know is after my dazed vision, I blacked out then I woke up here. Whatever transpired after is news to me. News I do not know if I want to uncover. I munch on the sandwich even faster, not letting my mouth go half full as long as there is still more bread. I drink more juice to aid with easy swallowing and digestion. I sti

    - ACE - I pace back and forth in a straight line axis, outside the room the doctor is in with the patient. The room door is wide open to give me a good view of what goes on inside. She has been inside that room with Lorelei for as long as I can remember and I am too overwhelmed to sit down through it. Someone walks up to me with. Standing in front of me is Isabel with two full glasses of juice. “I put a bit of alcohol in it. I heard it cools the nerves no matter how little. You may need the dulling sensation.” She says sweetly as she holds one to me. “Thank you.” I breath, taking the glass from her. I stop moving momentarily and drown the entire content in the glass down my throat in one go. I let out a satisfied exhale, that of one who has been consumed with thirst for quite a while before finally tasting a liquid down the throat. I drop the now empty glass on the small, cream coloured cushion table by my side then resume my pacing. My hand is folded across my chest whil

    - ACE - Lorelei is in my car. Isabel is with her in the back seat, ensuring she’s properly laid while Lorelei’s head rests on her thighs. I’m panicking. The worry I feel does not even make any sense to me considering this is a marriage of convenience. I do not even like her. I should not even care for her or care as much as I do, yet everything about this woman seems to burn deep into my soul. It seems to trigger and resonate some things in me, new things. Certain feelings that shouldn’t even exist for whatever relationship I have with her. She’s someone I wanted to punish, someone I wanted to make go through hell, yet when she’s experiencing that hell, every part of me shakes like the world is crumbling. Like everything is falling apart. Is this reaction of mine linked with the title she has as Mrs Ace Salvatore? Is my reaction because she’s my wife. . . my family, only family? Because I sure as hell did not feel this strongly, no matter how little, about her wellbeing till she

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

    - ACE - It hit me like a wave. I passed through the first stage of shock when her hand slipped away from mine and her body hit the ground. Lorelei collapsed. . . The distraught amazement took a considerable amount of time for me to process that I didn’t move for a while, not because I didn’t want to, but because I couldn’t. As people swarm in front of me to check in on my fainted wife, I just stand there, faced with guilt and what I assume to be regret. It happened in the twinkle of an eye. One moment, her stifled voice was the only thing I could hear, then the next. . . I no longer felt her warmth. No longer felt the heat that burned through my suit from her body. I no longer felt her weight against my arm. At first, when her hand slipped out of my arm, anger surged through me till I witnessed her body withdrawing backwards alongside. Then it stung me, deep. The woman I wanted by my side had lost consciousness. . . . and I was too stunned to react accordingly. To hold her
