Eunia

My thoughts drift back to the man on the television. Cole MayRidge. I'd lied about being in a relationship with him.

The lie had been spontaneous, desperate, and ultimately ineffective in stopping this engagement to Logan. But honestly, I think that would have worked out a whole lot better if it was true.

I let out a puff of air, shifting on the bed in self-pity. Then the obvious slaps me right in the face.

Why don't I just make it a reality?

My eyes fly open. I sit up a little too quickly and instantly regret it as pain slices through my skull. But that doesn't stop my train of thought. If I actually bring Cole MayRidge home to meet my parents, there's no way they can deny my supposed love for him.

Father’s a considerate man and has always had a soft spot for me, there’s no way he won’t listen if I appeal to him.

It would especially be easier for them to give Cole a chance since the guy's clearly rich. Father won't be able to use the excuse that I'm throwing away my future fo

    Eunia"I can't wait to have you all to myself," he continues, "I've fantasized about our wedding night so many times, Eunia. You can't even begin to imagine."I can't help the sensation of throwing up.I have every idea of the horrors that await me if this marriage actually pulls through. I know exactly what he's capable of, exactly how creative his cruelty can be when given unrestricted access to my body.It'll be the safe house all over again, except this time it'll be legal. The nausea rolls through me in waves, and I have to press my hand against my stomach to keep from actually being sick. It's laughable how his fantasies can be my worst nightmares.Logan stands there watching me with that infuriating mixture of desire and satisfaction, completely oblivious to my obvious distress."I want to do this properly," he beams, and something about the way he says it makes me feel uneasy. "I've been in contact with Cartier, a highly reputed jewelry company. Very exclusive and very expens

    Eunia I thought surely, surely, he would show some basic human decency and leave me alone but, I was wrong.His eyes hardened at my words as he lurched over to me. “Are you making excuses now?” His voice was filled with so much spite and anger. “You really think you can escape your duties with convenient lies?”My eyes widened at his accusation. Who would lie about having contractions?“Answer me!” He screamed. “Or would you rather I teach you a lesson?”The threat of another beating hung heavy in the air. “No, no, I'm sorry.” I shook my head, my body trembling all over. I knew better than to defy him. It would only make things worse.So I let him do what he wanted.What followed was the most painful experience of my entire existence. Being penetrated roughly while my body seized with contractions—no woman should ever have to endure that. I bit through my lip trying to stay quiet, tasted blood flooding my mouth, and prayed for it to end. Then the most unbelievable thing happened.

    EuniaI freeze.Every single bone in my body locks in place, paralyzed by the pressure of his mouth against mine. My brain malfunctions, my thoughts spiral, leaving nothing but white noise and the horrifying reality of what is happening.Logan is kissing me!And before I can react or process what's going on, he takes advantage of my shock. His hand slides behind my head, his slender fingers curl around my hair as he cradles my skull. He tilts my face, changing the angle, and deepening the kiss. His tongue pushes past my lips and slides smoothly into my mouth with a hunger that makes bile rise in my throat.This is my first kiss.The realization crashes into me with the force of a speeding train. Even in my first life—twenty eight years of existence, I was never kissed till the day I died.How pathetic is that?I had foolishly waited for Logan all those years ago. I refused to give anyone else a chance despite having numerous men show interest in me over the years.Because in my naiv

    EuniaThe words slip out hot and vicious before I can even stop them. The table goes completely silent as every eye turns toward me in mute surprise.My mother blinks, her wide smile disappearing in an instant. "I'm sorry?""The dress. The flowers. All of it." My fork clatters against my plate, the sound sharp and jarring."Did anyone think to ask what I thought or what I wanted?!" Kruska smiles, leaning in further as if her favorite show is about to start.“Eunia,” Father chips in, his voice low and warning.“I'm the one getting engaged, aren't I?” I say through gritted teeth, the words spilling over hot and bitter. "I think I should have some sort of say in—”"We're doing this for you, Eunia," Mother cuts me off, taking a sip from her wine glass as though trying to ease her annoyance. “Everything is being arranged to perfection. You don't need to worry about a single detail."“I'm not worried, Mother. I'm not even being asked. You're treating me like I'm not here.”“You're being dra

    Eunia “Let’s get you inside, sweetheart.” She smiles, her voice bright and cheerful and I wonder what's got her in such a chipper mood. I simply nod, and she helps me out of the car.The second the door swings open, a banner stretches across the archway—Welcome Home, Eunia. Balloons cluster in the corner of the foyer, shimmering gold and white, and a couple of maids on standby shout “Surprise!” as I inch inside.I should have known…Now I see why Mother was acting a bit extra today—with the dress and all.Father approaches, pulling me into a hug. I can’t remember the last time I received a hug from him.“Thank God you’re okay, Eunia. I’m so sorry I couldn’t come see you in the hospital. Welcome home, darling.”He softly pats my back and kisses the top of my head, and I feel tears sting the corners of my eyes. Even if this is temporary, it’s nice. It’s nice having my mom and dad back to the way they were, even if it won’t last long.I spot Kruska by the corner, her lips curling into a

    Eunia“Wakey, wakey, darling,” A voice filters in as I stir awake, my eyes slowly opening to Mother's gentle nudges.“It's too early to be in my face, Mom,” I groan, turning the other way.“Is that any way to greet your mother in the morning?” she reprimands with a frown, one hand on her hip she stares at me in disapproval.“Morning?” I mumble after her, lifting my gaze to the wall clock. 9:09 a.m. I didn’t even realize when I fell asleep last night. With a groan,I force myself to sit up, my body weak and numb.“How are you feeling this morning, dear?” “Like I got hit by a freight train.” I lift my arms in the air then stretch out my aching back. Just then, Mom drops a paper bag in my lap and I look back at her.“Get changed, the car is waiting outside. We're going home.” I don't know if that's good news or bad news. As much as I don't want to remain here in this hospital, I'm not exactly stoked to head back home either. Mainly because I still haven't figured out a way to put a stop
