Chapter 21 - Death by Cigar
Henri neared Solene, his pace unhurried. He relished watching her get all flustered with his words, words that even he himself was surprised. They spilled unchecked from his mouth, but he didn’t regret actually saying them. She had to know she was safe ′from’ him, ′with’ him, and that he cared about her safety and happiness above all.
Gently, he ran his thumb along her cheekbones all the while she stayed glued to her seat. He saw her stiffen briefly, felt her slight discomfort, but he understood why she had these instinctual reactions. Just like him, she was new to this kind of relationship. They both needed to adjust. They both needed to take each step with caution.
He leaned a little planning to end this evening dinner with a kiss or kisses maybe, but then he noticed a shadow move in a darkened part of the mansion roof. He knew immediately what this meant.
“You must be tired,”

MY SCYTHE-WIELDING HUSBAND Chapter 22 - Death by Truth
Meridith handed her a wrapped box while Solene sat in her receiving room’s couch. She gave her mother a questioning look and asked, “What’s this, mom?”“Open it, Solene, and you’ll see,” she simply stated.Furrowing her brows, Solene unwrapped the box and found its content to be rather surprising.“This is father’s book,” she muttered and glanced at her mother in awe.“Yes,” Meridith nodded just as she looked at Riza.“That book is called the Book of Death, Solene,” the older woman stated.“But your father prefers to call it a grimoire,” Meridith added. “It is time I give it to you.”“Is this a wedding present mom?” was Solene’s question. She remembered holding this book back when she was still six. She found it on

Solene found a place where she could cry her heart out and oddly enough, it was the center of the maze where the statue of the theta lay. This was illuminated with soft spotlights numerous enough to make her feel safe around the darkness of the area. She sat at the edge of the fountain and brought her knees closer together so that her head could rest, while the grimoire, well, she left it lying on the ground. She didn't have an urge to open it yet.There was not a single sound of her sob, but her eyes streamed grossly with tears. They fell like liquid crystals onto the cobblestone ground, similar to the fountain's splashes of water.Indeed she felt betrayed by her family and it deeply stabbed her trust in them, but still, she understood their side as to why they had to keep the truth from her. After all, her mother and father got what they wanted. She was able to live her life normally, or at least for the past six years where the tattoos pr
MY SCYTHE-WIELDING HUSBAND Chapter 24 - Death by Walking Down the Aisle
For Solene, everything came in a rush the next morning. First, she was awakened by Meridith and Patricia with silly smiles on their faces and stacks of boxes behind them obviously full of her wedding outfit. This made Solene blush and remember that this was the day she was getting married.Second, after a short, peaceful bath, she was pulled quickly by Armand’s team to do the hair and make-up. Solene was silent the whole time, only answering and smiling whenever it was necessary. She recalled her talk with Henri last night and the parting words he gave her before she went back to her room with the book.’I’ll make sure you won’t regret marrying me, Solene.”She was more than certain he wasn’t bluffing at all when he said that. He had been doing an excellent job as her betrothed since the very beginning and so, surely, as her husband soon he would do even better.&n
MY SCYTHE-WIELDING HUSBAND Chapter 25 - Death by First Night
“Easy now, Solene, are you trying to drunk yourself?” Henri asked when he noticed Solene downing her third flute of wine in less than two hours.They were in the couple’s table located in the central area of the customized stage inside the grand hall of the Rantzen mansion. Behind them was a wall of white tulips supported by massive Greek-inspired pillars. In their front were the guests, comfortably sitting on their seats while a popular Spanish band played their lively tunes.The reception party was in full swing. Spectacular introductions of the Mr. and Mrs. were done earlier by Joyce’s team and well wishes by Solene’s family and Henri’s siblings were done along with the cake cutting, first dance, and the toast.Solene was all smiles during these moments while Henri remained pleased with her reactions. He couldn’t keep his eyes off his beautiful wife then, more so

With the way they were positioned, Solene couldn’t see her husband, but she was certain it was him behind her. Aside from his voice, his scent was the same, his height was the same, even the feel of his strong hands was the same. Everything about him was the same and this earned goosebumps on her arms and nape.His nearness was intoxicating, filling her with excitement and longing. He had elicited the same kind of feelings back in her room when he checked her tattoos, but it was abruptly cut off considering...well, they weren’t exactly married yet. But now, with their wedding done, she expected these feelings to linger a hundredfold. This was their wedding night after all and of course, some bed action was in order. Playing game boards and watching movies were the last things in their minds.“Done with reading Lloyd a bedtime story?” Solene asked as she lowered her hands and half shifted her face towards
MY SCYTHE-WIELDING HUSBAND Chapter 27 - Death by Teasing
It was early eight in the morning when Solene woke up. She first registered the soft rays of the sun filtering through the glass doors and then a faint sound of water running inside the bathroom. She hummed a relaxed tune, still wanting to enjoy the softness of the mattress and the pillows, but as the events of last night started flooding inside her, she quickly sat up and tossed a wide-eyed look at the empty space beside her.Henri wasn’t present, but she was willing to bet it was he who was inside the bathroom showering.‘Showering...’ her thoughts voiced out and ideas of him naked—something she wasn’t able to witness last night—drowned her poor, virgin mind. Her heart skipped beats then. She took a long breath to calm herself and fortunately it worked.“Uh, what the...” she muttered, her mouth hanging thereafter upon seeing her current state.
MY SCYTHE-WIELDING HUSBAND Chapter 28 - Death by Riding
The east estate of the Rantzen Family was easily a thirteen-digit property. As soon as the electronic gate admitted the limousine, Solene couldn’t help but gawk at the sight it offered. As expected, the mansion was enormous, the front garden was manicured to perfection and the view of the whole of Basque was spectacular and that was just inside the car.Solene couldn’t help but be in awe of the place, but what really caught her attention the most and loved even further was the surrounding forestry. Everywhere she looked, there were greens and greens of different shapes and sizes. Some trees were in the process of changing into autumn colors and this added to the beautiful color palette of the area.“I’m impressed,” Solene remarked as she sensed Henri leaning towards her. “This place of yours is the perfect representation of the saying ‘a mountain as its backyard.’”&n
MY SCYTHE-WIELDING HUSBAND Chapter 29 - Death by a Blunt Something
En route to the manor, heavy rain fell down just like Henri claimed. Solene, as she rode her horse, threw a surprised look at him. She couldn’t shake off the feeling he had something to do with it. It was either he had freak weather-controlling powers or he had incredible foresight, but whichever the case, the rain didn’t bother her. As a matter of fact, she was happy with this development. She now had an even plausible excuse to strip herself naked in front of him and fast.Quite a wild way for a virgin lady to think about, but what the heck...Henri simply tossed her a secretive smile and ordered his stallion to gallop faster. She followed him, holding her reins harder. Despite the biting cold, the heat and desire in their bodies didn’t disappear. It was as effectively hot and fresh as it was before the rain poured.Both were drenched when they reached the swimming pool. Henri led them t
