Chapter 2: Marriage is not rosy
After becoming legally married and living in a big mansion in the suburbs, Jethro had to move many of his jobs home because we were far away from his company, and I didn't like being too far away from my husband. After our wedding, Jethro was often busy at work, he didn't have time to go on his honeymoon with me.
But I'm not that important, being with the man I love is already a very happy thing. We were a young couple who had just gotten married, but since living together, Jethro said that he didn't want to share a room with me and this took me by surprise.
Doesn't he want to share a bedroom with his wife?
“Let's go to bed alone, because I have a lot of work to do at the company.” This is Jethro's reason.
Finished, he ignored my disappointment and went to his room. I grinned, and said to him:
“You wait, it won't be long before you have to get down on your knees and beg to be in the same room with me. Bitch!
I walked proudly into the room, there was never a man who did not fall in love with my beauty, before becoming Jethro's wife there were many rich men who came to propose to me, they also used many tricks to can reach me. Many men don't even spare large sums of money just to be able to invite me to a concert.
But I don't need men who give themselves up for me, I want to conquer other men and especially noble and cold men like Jethro Thompson.
My housekeeper is Mrs. Dina, and there are some maids in the house, I don't know their names. All the work in the house is done by Mrs. Dina, I just need to be the wife who is the owner of this place and don't need to do anything.
During dinner, I didn't see Jethro coming down to dinner, so I asked Dina:
Where is he? Why hasn't he come to dinner with me yet?”
Mrs. Dina reverently said:
“Mr. Thompson had a party with his partner today, so he'll be home late and won't have dinner with you.”
“Why didn't he tell me? A little law like that and he doesn't know it? If he won't have dinner, then tell me, why did he tell you, Dina!" I shouted angrily.
Jethro often went late at night, sometimes I didn't see his face, and Jethro and I were more like housemates than newlyweds. Wouldn't that be such a fun party?
Mrs. Dina shook her head and said to me:
“It wasn't Mr. Thompson who told me, but I got this information from his driver.”
“So he didn't tell anyone, it was frustrating, I wasn't in the mood for dinner, clean it up.“ I was angry and went directly to my room.
The maids quickly cleaned up the abundant food on the table. I see my pride being poked around by this husband. I picked up the phone and called him, but he didn't pick up until the fifth call. I said loudly:
“Where are you now, and why aren't you home for dinner?”
[... "I have a lot of things to discuss with my partner, so I won't be back tonight, don't interfere," Jethro answered frankly, and in his words, there was no warmth, and there was also some dislike.
You! Can you see that? If you don't come back, you have to tell me beforehand, you're belittling me!" I said angrily.
I don't have any emotions to answer:
[What I have to say is that I already told you, so don't bother me. All right, I've got another meeting to go to. Do it yourself with your favorite things.]
At the end of the sentence, Jethro automatically turned off make my surprise. I wonder if he knew he was married?
“Jethro!” I shouted.
I was furious that since my marriage, Jethro had never touched me or talked to me, or done anything together. This is not the same as a newly married couple.
I called my father to tell him about the dissatisfaction in my heart, and my father very quickly picked up the phone:
[Gemma, what's going on, honey?]
“Dad, Jethro hasn't come back yet, I just called when he said he had a meeting with his partner so he won't be back tonight.”
“Since the marriage, he has not cared about me, he has brought his work home to solve, and he and I have not been able to say any kind words to each other for many days.”
“Dad, whatever you do to him, I feel like he doesn't want to be with me!”
I rage narrated and pitiful in front of my father, he was always the one who spoiled me the most, so everything would follow me. My father nodded in agreement and said:
[Don't cry, I'll make him obediently obey you.]
“Yes, thank you, Father.“ I am glad to laugh in my heart.
If my words could be taken lightly, then my father's words should be heard. Otherwise, my father will let the career he built for many years will melt like a sponge I was in the room laughing, my sense of triumph constantly rising even though nothing had happened.
I texted Jethro to threaten him:
[You wait, I'll tell you what made me angry.]
Jethro got the message but he didn't notice, turning off his phone so I couldn't disturb him. I made a lot of phone calls to Jethro but he didn't answer the phone, just now I had the idea that he would tremble at my threat but now immediately lost. perhaps he is not afraid of my father's power.
But everything was still as I expected, Jethro no longer came early into the night and used the excuse of seeing his partner to avoid me. He also dined with me more often and talked to me more, but he was still cold and uncomfortable, especially since we still didn't share the same bedroom.
I once asked my father how he could make Jethro so obedient, and my father answered only briefly:
“My husband and I talked a little.”
I don't care how my father threatens Jethro but it's good because it's very effective when he has more time with me and this should have been the case from the beginning.
Six months after the wedding, Jethro still hadn't touched me. At first, I thought my casual clothes weren't attractive enough, so I ordered sexy clothes to make Jethro unable to suppress his desire.
After all the preparations were done that night, I put on a glamorous black lace nightgown and exposed my long white legs. Jethro only returned to his bedroom when he finished his work, so I snuck into his bedroom first and covered the covers on the bed waiting for Jethro's reaction when he saw me.
Just thinking about it made me unusually excited.
But things were not as I had imagined, when I heard footsteps enter with sighs I knew Jethro was back. Before I could surprise him, I heard:
“Gemma, get out of my bedroom,” Jethro said.
I was amazed, I hadn't made any noise since he came in and was still spotted but if he did, I should have started planning.
I took off the blanket, and the attractive body and nightgown appeared in front of him.
“You haven't touched me since we got married, don't you want to?” I said weakly, acting pitifully in front of Jethro.
But Jethro did not have any expression, he was even more annoyed and frowned. His tone was angrier than before and looked at me with eyes as if I were a random and obnoxious person.
Give it here. I won't ask you again. Get out of my bedroom!”
Now I have no mind to seduce him, I feel that my self-esteem has been broken by this man and I am extremely ashamed, I have never had to humble myself to seduce or please any man and this is the first time I have done this.
But not only did he not show interest, he kicked me out of the room as soon as he walked in.
I felt I had no face to continue here, my heart ached terribly and I ran out of the room and shouted:
“Son of bitch!”
Back in my room, I held my crying pillow tightly all night and fell asleep the next morning.
Chapter 3: Love is BlindAfter that, Gemma was too embarrassed to see Jethro every time. Not only did she feel her self-esteem being crushed, but her heart was also hurt by her husband's heartless words.Although this marriage was because she forced him, he didn't need to say words that hurt her so much. She was very upset in her heart, but Gemma refused to let go, she was sure that one day Jethro would fall in love and love her.Such a shame Gemma did not dare to tell her father and also did not dare to tell anyone who could only hug alone.Time passed like a breeze and waited for no one, in the three years she lived with the man she loved Jethro. Gemma does not receive love or, more simply, tenderness from this man. At first, she was always angry and smashed things just to get Jethro's attention but he was still quiet as if nothing had happened.The most extreme culmination is that Gemma misunderstood a maid in the house, who because of carelessness fell into the display cabinet pou
Chapter 4Gemma was in everyone's eyes a playful and extravagant girl, and they did not expect that a daring and passionate girl like Gemma would remain a virgin even after three years of marriage.Jethro, in a drunken stupor, didn't care that his wife was gritting her teeth in pain and roughness from him. In his eyes, there was only anger and stunned by the effects of alcohol. This is the first night after three years of marriage to be close to each other but there is not a bit of tenderness and romance that should have been.Gemma's first time was completely given to Jethro, but in her heart, there was only bitterness and pain. Although she tries to tell her husband to be gentle with her, Jethro ignores her words and thinks that he is just doing his duty and doing his duty, it is not necessary to have feelings in it.“Please… be gentle with me…” Gemma's tears filled her face with pain, her bottom ached and she could feel she was bleeding profusely.Jethro smiled, Gemma's weakness in
Gemma blushed, but she did not allow herself to shed tears.“How can you say such things?” Gemma said softly.But Jethro did not care and coldly left the table, only Gemma sat face down on the table in her heart uncomfortable and hurt. The ring was not meant for her but for another woman, a cold and indifferent man like Jethro would not buy jewelry to give to someone unless he loved the other woman.But Gemma had no proof that Jethro was having an affair, and that ring she also did not know to whom it would belong. From that day on, Gemma could not open the door of Jethro's private office, every time he left or entered the room, it was locked and even though she stood outside to call him, she did not answer or open the door.Her husband is now a director of a relatively large company, so he often has to attend parties to socialize with other partners. Jethro for some reason had asked her to go there with him, perhaps because everyone at that party would be accompanied by a spouse or l
Chapter six,Although Gemma knew Jethro was angry, somehow she felt a little happy in her heart, perhaps he was not only active just now, but his words and eyes showed that he was jealous of Harvey.It's just that Gemma didn't expect Jethro to be so extreme, in the car the two of them didn't say a word to each other but as soon as they entered the bedroom Jethro hit Gemma's beautiful face with a painful slap...Jethro's slap made her dizzy and fell back, she was surprised and just hugged the side of her face just slapped. Jethro stretched out his hand to loosen his tie, removed his coat, and stared at Gemma sitting on the floor with a fierce demonic gaze.Get up. Jethro said angrily.Gemma staggered to her feet, her eyes filled with astonishment at Jethro and his actions. Although Jethro didn't love her, she never hit her, but this time she opened her eyes.“You slapped me, why did you slap me?” Gemma couldn't understand why she was beaten, a slap was enough to make her look pathetic
Chapter Seven.“This marriage never worked out well from the beginning.” That's what Jethro answered when Gemma asked him if he had ever loved her. Jethro's answer was the same as Gemma's prediction, but only when she heard these words did her heart, which had always been towards Jethro, begin to hurt.Just like a normal day, Gemma sat alone at the dinner table, her face beautiful but showing sadness and gloom. Gemma had long ago given up the vivacity and arrogance of a rich, difficult young lady, and it was unclear whether she had become like this because she was more mature or because Jethro had changed her.Looking at the delicious food on the table, Gemma showed no interest in them, but only barely poked her fork with no intention of eating. Since Jethro doesn't like Gemma's food even though she tried to learn to cook, all the dishes are made to Jethro's taste but Gemma forgets what she likes to eat.Gemma sighed and then looked at the opposite side, the empty chair and the quiet
Chapter Eight Gemma knew this fat man was looking at her, she was uncomfortable with this but because of Jethro, she couldn't make him angry. Gemma forced herself to maintain her wry smile in front of the dirty and hungry stare of the man opposite. Suddenly, Jethro's phone rang, he smiled at his partner but the fat man threw his hand excitedly. “I see you're busy, so just pick up the phone, I'm free today so don't worry.” “Thank you, I'll be right back.” Jethro stood up and left. Only the fat man and Gemma remained in the room, as Jethro leaving the room left her feeling depressed and anxious to be with a man she didn't even know, who looked at her like a lustful beast making her nauseous. While she didn't know how to face this man, she couldn't just leave him alone in the room. Despite not liking this man, to be honest, it was disgusting in his eyes, but Gemma still had to stay because he was her husband's partner, if she ruined everything, Jethro would be very angry. “Beautifu
Chapter Nine Gemma didn't want to talk right now, for tonight's meeting she felt like a beautiful item to attach to Jethro and make other men enjoy looking at her. Thinking like that, but then she quickly dismissed the thought. She couldn't let her emotions affect Jethro's good mood. But Gemma thought too well of her husband, his words had left her in deep thought and despair. “This is the only thing you can do for me, so show me how good you are,” Jethro said coldly. The carelessness and disregard from her own husband made Gemma pale and her heart ached like a knife. Even so, Gemma suppressed this stinging pain in her heart, smiling at her husband. “Yes, I know, I will try to be a useful wife to you.” But Gemma's submission and condescension to Jethro only make him feel disgusted and uncomfortable, he has never considered Gemma a true wife not only because she is the one who forced him to marry. “Knowing that is good.” He said, The letter from the unknown person still arrives,
Chapter Ten The atmosphere became tense after Jethro spoke, but he didn't notice it either. Boniface, seeing a bad atmosphere, made peace and said: “Mr. Thompson has a good sense of humor, but we're here for a meeting, so let's talk about the next project.” Although he said that, the atmosphere was only slightly calming, John did not want to cancel all his efforts for so long, so he still smiled in harmony with Jethro. Only Farrer did not have time to speak up and was humiliated, making him angry to the point of madness. However, when he saw his father's unprecedented concession to Jethro, he had to hold back his anger, but in his mind, he thought at all costs to get revenge on Jethro for insulting him and his father. “As for the price you said before, I think it's reasonable, but you have some conditions. It will also be difficult for us, as you know I am very fond of you, for other customers, I will never agree so quickly.” John shrugged and said, he also pretended to be a disadv
