I didn’t mean to hurt her. I didn’t want to. But I knew that the only way to get information out of her was to use force. That’s the only language she responds to so even though it killed me to see her miserable to my touch, I proceeded to inflict more pain on her.

Maybe because some of it fed my heart to content because of what she did last night. And maybe because part of me loved seeing her vulnerable but the moment my fingers left her skin, the obvious marks on her arm made me know I may have crossed the line. Her skin is so tender. So tender that it cut and I felt her blood spill on my thumb.

That instant, I regretted approaching her forcefully but I couldn’t back out now. Not when I’ve gone this far and she’s actually speaking.

Now when I’m close to getting what I want from her. Even though it came with the price of her misery.

I listen closely, halting the urge to let my mind run wild with thoughts based on her story till she’s done telling me all I need

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

    - LORELEI - Have you ever battled getting up from a bed to a different spot in your room? It may just be a few steps away but your physical health makes it seem like you’re walking through Mount Everest and have already gone half way with body aching all over. I let out a soft sigh, trying to make my way to the bathroom while glueing my hands to the wall. It’s my only support. Apparently, whatever drug Catherine gave me still had after effects in the morning, contrary to what I was told. I never found it wise to believe that pale ass living ghost to begin with. Another sigh leave my lips, followed by a groan. I have to know what it was that she gave to me. What kind of medication could be so bad that it would make someone pass out and experience such discomfort? I need to know and feed it to her. Make her paralysed for a day or two, or even forever, I don’t care. I hate her. Way more than I do Ace and that should scream volumes. I don’t even know the human yet she’s chosen to ta

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

    - ACE - When I stepped into her room, I noticed her body stir. I noticed how tense she was by my presence. I make her feel frightened and uncomfortable. That shouldn’t be a surprise to me. “I have something to ask you.” I say through a thickened, warm tone. “And I need you to tell me the truth.” I watch as her brows narrow as I waltz into her room, her eyes gawking at me. Like a hawk, she monitors my every move till I make myself comfortable at the edge of her bed. I maintained the distance for her sake. I don’t want her having a heart attack by proximity with me. I haven’t given Lorelei a reason not to fear me and I have to rectify that. “What. . .” Her words cut short like it hangs in her throat momentarily. “What do you want to know?” My gaze is fixed on her. It’s hard not to notice every slight movement she makes. Her hand slides up her arm, right where i bruised her skin. A scornful feeling immediately brews within me. I hate that she may have the intent to be ho

    - 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

    - 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 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

    - 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
