Stuck In Matrimony 21~Hannah
Weeks, it had been four long weeks since the attack.I felt trapped like a prisoner. Zach wouldn't let me go anywhere without a bodyguard ever since the night of his parents' anniversary. Of course he wouldn't tell me why he was being so protective but I had to align to his will to avoid the drama. The house had become heavily guarded. Guests had to be thoroughly searched and scanned before being let into the premises. Even Marv couldn't visit at my will until Zach permitted. He was being ridiculous by saying that everyone was a suspect.I unwrapped my arms from around me and turned away from the window to stare at him, engrossed in whatever he was doing on his phone."Can I talk to you about something?" He looked up at me for a second. "Sure.""How long is this going to continue?"He frowned. "What are you talking about?""For how long are you going to keep hiding from me what I need to know about you?" I asked him."There's nothing to worry about.""So why was there an attack on t

Early that morning I donned a dark pair of shades to go with my dark themed casual ensemble. I tried to look as simple as possible. Hannah was deep in sleep so I carefully left the room just so I wouldn't disturb her."Boss." One of the guards gave me a salute as I got outside the house that foggy morning."I'm driving myself today. Make sure my wife is safe. I'll be back in no time." I told him.The drive was a long one. I couldn't believe I was trailing this path again. But I had to do something - anything to keep the people I care about safe. I took deep breaths after the security checked me into the premises. It was early but luckily I had signaled him that I was going to be visiting. His house gave off just how dark he was, same way I had always known it.I went into the meeting room where we usually discussed. He was seated at the head of the table with his back turned to me. "Welcome Zach. Good to see you after such a long time." His raspy voice spoke. I said nothing in respo

"Hey."I glanced up from my book as his head popped through the door. "Hi," I confusedly glanced at the time. "You're back early." "I need to show you something, come on." He stretched his hand forward. I got off the bed slowly and dragged my feet over to where he was. I was tired from doing nothing."You okay?""I wish I was." I fought a yawn while he gave me a hug."Alright close your eyes." He said."Why?" "Just close them." I shut my eyes but not without giving him a suspicious glance. "Where are we going?" I asked him as I felt him lead us out of the room. "Relax. Don't open your eyes until I tell you to."He led me down the stairs slowly and carefully. "Here we are," he said with a satisfied sigh. I opened my eyes and was pleasantly surprised at the sight of my mother, but not my sister though."I thought you weren't going to get here until tomorrow." I said as I embraced her. "Element of surprise remember?" Zach said over my shoulder. I chuckled."Hi Zara." I said out of

It was a breath of a fresh air being able to step out again and freely too. Zach still had a guard follow me everywhere but at least there wasn't tight security all the time.I was out with Mama and Zara, shopping for some baby stuff. Zach wanted us to start working on the nursery and so we began. "Hannah, do you want anything from the food court. Zara's heading there." Mama said. I glanced you from cart filled with several things and realized how hard I had been working and how much food I needed to refuel."Sure. I'll text her my order.""I think you should just go with her. She might get it wrong and then you'll throw a tantrum.""Yeesh. I'm not petty like that." I said in my defense. She made it sound like I was a dramatic pregnant woman. I was so chill - the chilliest pregnant woman there was, so what the heck was she talking about?"Are we going or not?" Zara rolled her eyes irritatedly. I was ready to give her a comeback but Mama stopped me."Go on now." She urged both of us.Z

I introduced Hannah to Trisha, my long time friend who I hardly ever saw due to her working far away from me. "This is my wife, Hannah. Hannah, meet Trisha, she's an old friend." I said."I had no idea your wife is part Asian. She's so cute." Trisha said, stretching her hand forward for a handshake."Thank you. It's nice to meet you. Zach has never mentioned you though." Hannah said, turning to me."It never came up?" I let out a nervous chuckle. She smiled. It was a wry one."I'll just tour around the office while you two talk." Hannah said and left before I could say anything."Have a seat." I gestured at the three sitter couch situated at one side of the room."How's work?" Trisha asked me, settling down to give me a full view of her face."Great. How's life treating you?" I responded in the same lighthearted manner."It's good." She said with a smile. "Heard about Hex?""Yeah. Sad..." I said, feigning pity."I'm sure he'll be out in no time." She asserted."You think?” I arched a

"I still don't get why you're so mad." Marv was laughing so hard it grated on my nerves."He's way too comfortable with that woman and she's so freaking gorgeous!" I wanted to throw something or punch the wall at this point."Why are you even worried about this?""I mean we're actually beginning to get somewhere and some old time super sexy 'friend' of his, pops into the scenario. Why wouldn't I be worried?" I said, hoisting my pants up in exaggerated anger."I thought you didn't want to be with him." She said.I went quiet for a second. "Well, we haven't decided on that. We'll do that after the baby's born but that doesn't mean I should take any form of disrespect." I blew out a long breath. "Like how could he decide to go out for dinner with her, without me?!"See why I said he'll always be a jackass." She said sourly."Yeah." I sulked."He's not back yet?" "Nope. I don't know how dinner lasts so long." I let out a thoroughly displeased huff and looked at the time once again."Oh d

I woke up with a bunch of soft kisses plastering my whole face. My eyes snapped open in an instant and met the scary blue ones that belonged to none other than Zach."It's way too early for you to be trying to get on my nerves." I groggily said and repositioned myself to continue sleeping."It's past nine already." He said.I opened one eye. There was no way Zach could be home at such a time on a weekday so I hummed and continued my sleep."Hannah wake up." He poked my sides."Go away!" I moaned in protest."Wake up, it's our anniversary." Our what?? The last word echoed in my ears a number of times for a few seconds. I sat up abruptly."How do you remember our wedding anniversary and I don't? I asked him with a wide eyed stare."Pregnancy brain?" He said amusedly.I hummed in concession. "I suppose you're right." But the question heavy on my mind was how and why he even remembered our anniversary. He was all frowny this time a year before."Happy anniversary." He cut into my thought

"What was that cheesy speech for?" James asked me when I saw him the next day."What do you mean cheesy? I was appreciating my wife on our anniversary." I feigned confusion as I flipped through a file."The same one you ignored throughout the first six months of your marriage?" He retorted with a disbelieving scoff."Things change." I shrugged."I know you Zach. Be honest with me, what exactly was that about?" He asked knowing, squinting his eyes like they could scan me through and through."Fine." I chuckled. "She was mad at me and I wanted her to feel some butterflies so she could get over it." I said."So you're saying that it was all a lie?" He asked."Not necessarily." I shrugged again."Zach," he sighed tiredly. "Stop playing with this girl, you've done enough.""I'm not playing with her." I disagreed."You don't love her so stop messing with her head.""I like her enough to want to continue being with her okay?" There, I said it. I liked her, sort of."Doesn't look like she fee
