Chapter 14 : The protective husband

Christian

"It never happened to me before", she keeps ranting. "I was never humiliated. It was so embarrassing. They were laughing at me"

As the pace of her sobs increases, I take her again in a tight embrace.

"Ssshhh. No one will ever dare to do this to you", I caress her hair. "Stop crying", I cleaned her tears again when she looks up at me.

Her reactions change drastically as if she can finally realise what's happening. She's still in my arms and I don't want to let her go. She peers deep into my eyes, before driving them away. She parts herself from me and I feel suddenly empty.

"Well", I clear my throat. "You need to have a bath before you have the meals. Come on, get up"

She obeys quickly to my surprise as I smile at her. Collecting her clothes, she goes into the washroom. I attend to my phone which has been buzzing for a long time. I cut it and switch it off.

I ask Mrs Fisher to bring the dinner to my room.
