Agnes woke up. She stretched her hand to the other side of the bed and whispered. "Ethan."The bed was empty. She got startled. "Ethan," she called in a haste voice."I am the right here," he said faintly. He was seated on the bed and drew the blanket to cover her half naked body.x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x"What happened yesterday night?" Ethan asked.The bombshell dropped.Agnes's face turned sour. "You do not remember?""Remember what?" he asked."I was so drunk yesterday right? My mind is blurred. I need an answer.""Yes, you were drunk," she said in a fierce tone."Tell me something. Did I touch you?" he asked."Yes," she answered, with a hideous smile on her face. Finally her husband had touched her sexually. "I thought you didn't love me Ethan but yesterday you proved just how much
Ethan went back home with a lady. The lady was taller than Agnes, older than her in appearance, fairer than her, fatter than her but not as beautiful as her...Agnes was sitting on a couch and she was also reading a book."Agnes," he called in a high pitched tone. " Can't you see I am back. Get something nice and warm for this beautiful lass beside me and be quick with it." She did not move neither did she say a word." Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me?" Ethan asked angrily.She stood up immediately.Ethan turned to the lady beside him." My love make yourself comfortable. And I am apologetic for not offering you a seat. Please have a seat and like I said make yourself comfortable.""Than," Agatha, the lady called." You are such a rich, lucky and handsome guy. You are damn rich and I do not think anything or anyone in this world can ever strip you of your wealth. Your castle is such a beautiful and massive one. I feel it is the best in the whole wide world. I am so lucky to have foun
Ethan was seated in his study room. He was examining some files, sent home to him by the Moore's company. He barely went to the company and his scarce appearance left his duty piled up. Sometimes he would pay some people to do his job while some times his personal assistant would handle his works. The files had something about the deals proposed by rivals and neighbouring companies. What had he to do with the files? He did not know. Seeing the pile of files on his desk, it got him disturbed and a bit uncomfortable.A knock sounded on the door. He already guessed that the person who was knocking was the woman he loathed so much. The knock persisted and he wondered why Whitney would be disturbing him at this ungodly time of the day.Infact the knock became too unbearable for him."Come in!" He shouted, after he had cleared his throat.The door slightly opened and a maid walked into the study room.Ethan turned at once to see the person that was disturbing him. There was this type of loo
Ethan woke up. The vision awaiting him, left him short of words. His wife stood in front of the room mirror, her back turned to face him, as her eyes gazed deeply at the mirror, while she admired herself. Her instinct told her that her husband had woken up."Agnes," Ethan called out to her, slowly and lovingly."Good morning," she said, turning to face him."Good morning to you too, my darling wife," he said, pretending to admire her beauty.She looked like a heavenly apparition.. a radiant silhouette, with the moon behind her.Sincerely, Ethan felt widely drawn to her... More than to any woman in his life.Quietly he sat up and removed the blanket covering his body. There must be an explanation for him, he thought. He climbed out of the bed and walked to his wife, who was beaming with smile.Why did she look more than excited to see him, like it were her first time to see him?"Finally you woke up," she said in a coy whisper. "Finally."He shaked his head in a confused way. "Is the
"He did not say he would not. He only meant that he wouldn't make it right in time before the party begins. That means he wouldn't come before your father, the celebrant," Agnes explained to her husband."He wouldn't come before the celebrant," he repeated and let out a low laugh."Why wouldn't he be able to come? Did he give you a justifiable reason, as to why he would not come or does he expect to wallow in his blatant lie without any reasonable excuse?""Ethan my boy," a familiar voice called from behind them.He hesitated before turning to see the person."Hello, uncle.""My only nephew, why are you so tensed up about the presence of my son? Whether he comes or not, that should not bother you, besides you and I know that you hate to see him," Marcus's dad said.Agnes looked at her husband but after a little while, her eyes darted to the face of Mr. Arnold Moore, Marcus's father.Ethan smiled faintly, "if you can explain to me what you just said, then it shall have a meaning to me.
Agnes's face was bruised with hatred and anger for the man, she thought loved her. She had easily given to emotions, hadn't she?It was nearly two years of their relationship and Ethan was striking the last shot.What's worst, with a divorce paper? And right now she was surrounded by hate, dislike and anger, which she bore for Ethan. It was at that moment that Marcus's words began to resurrect. They were numerous and all of his words were correct. Marcus was right with his words, now the reality unfolding before her, burrowed back in her sagging brain.Inside the four walls of the castle, she knew she had only but an hour to sign the divorce papers. As a matter of fact, she was oblivious of the fact that it was only after three months that the divorce would be fully accepted, recognized and lawfully legitimate, just as Marcus had once explained to her."Sign the documents," Ethan instructed."You have already destroyed me enough, the least you could do is let me sign them in peace," s
Ethan was at home. He looked so feeble and disturbed. He was in his study room thinking. He did not recognize the figure in front of his glass, knocking."Ethan," his nanny called out to him.He was busy in his thoughts, so he did not hear her. She knocked aggressively on the glass door, if she was not careful, the glass door would have cracked.He cleared his throat, immediately after realizing that someone was knocking at the door."Come in," he said after some seconds.His nanny opened the door and walked in."Do you have any idea that you are disturbing my privacy?" He asked, looking a bit annoyed."Say whatever you have to say and leave at once. If it is because of dinner, do not bother yourself, I shall eat when I feel like it," he added.Nanny Feng looked at him for a while. She noticed his sadness and guilt."I know I am not in the position to speak to you or ask you any questions but I can not help my conscience by keeping my words in," his nanny spoke softly to him.Ethan pr
Agnes woke up and found herself in the hospital, she could not understand why she was in there.She looked around and when she was sure that there was no one around, except for the patients in her ward, she stood from the bed and removed the hospital wear on her body.Slowly, she crept out of the hospital without any body having to see her.Indeed she was really clever and good at sneaking out.She walked across the road, the she stopped a taxi. As soon as the taxi came to a halt, she hopped without having any particular destination in mind.For now, all she wanted to do was leave. They drove for sometime but she still had not told him where she was heading to, probably he was becoming too curious, so he decided to ask her."Where are you heading to?" the cab man asked her."I do not have any idea," she answered."What do you mean by that?" the cab man asked, as he applied his break."You heard me. Do not worry, I have enough money with me and I am going to pay you, so just keep goin
