The Husband I Never Knew

What exactly are doppelgangers?

Are they demons who feast on the weakness of their victims? The lost souls who copied the humans' form, or is it the foreshadow of death? There are several rumors that doppelgangers are the warning of death. So if you encounter one, you have to ignore what you see, or the curse will fall upon you.

However, what if the doppelganger has the ability to interact? To manipulate or even worst mess up with your emotion? What will you do?

Are you going to run away or keep silent because he treats you better than your actual husband? He loves you unlike your husband who only see you as a trophy to show-off? That's the problem I've been experiencing after I woke up from a comatose. My cold and cheating husband, was replaced with a kind and loving doppelganger.

The rain is heavily pouring while the thunderstorms rumbled in the dark night sky. The light from the lampshade kept flickering as if telling me to run away. And, the black figure standing by the window while observing me remains still, watching over me.

Why is that guy always around wherever I go?

My eyes fell to the man sitting on a couch like a king sitting on his throne. Back then when my husband sits there, I would tremble in fear, but now I'm calm like a gentle breeze of the ocean. This is wrong but this is what I feel.

He glanced at me and smile. He tapped his left thigh “Baby, come here.”

He's super clingy, which is the complete opposite of my husband. My husband hates me, not even once he considered me as his wife. I remembered how he would emotionally hurt me when he didn't like the dishes I cooked for him. He always cheat on me, left and right, with different girls.

He would yell at me for talking to another man, but neglects me when he sees sexier and prettier girls. He locks me in the house as if I would run away. If he couldn't see me he will get angry, but when I'm just around the house, I'm like a ghost lost in his enormous prison.

Always busy with his work, that's what he reasoned to me. Several events already passed but he never once looked for me and he will never once look at me. He will just send gifts and didn't even acknowledge me.

“Baby,” he softly called.

However when I woke up from a comatose, he completely, changed. He acted like how a husband treats her wife. He went overboard in protecting me. He never miss a chance to show me how much he loves me. Sometimes I thought that maybe the reason of this sudden change is because of his guilt, but I know....It's not about the accident.

He stood up from his seat and gave me a tight hug from behind. Our body is pressed together as he peppered my neck and nape with his warm kisses.

He whispered “Baby, is there something wrong?”

“Nothing,” I answered as I glance at him

He cupped my face for a passionate kiss. I can taste the unfamiliar flavor of his lips. He bit my lip asking permission to dig deeper into my mouth. I could feel his hands squeezing my chest.

I pull away making him look at me in worry

“Baby, you didn't like it?” he whispered

He then panicked “Did I make you uncomfortable? I'm sorry.”

I shook y head “I'm just not in the mood.”

He nodded and just hug me from behind and continued kissing my neck and nape. He is hugging me tightly like he is scared of something. He gets so clingy everytime we're alone. He won't stop until he properly showered my body with his kisses.

“Baby, do we have a problem?” he asked

“Lucian,” I called him

He looked at me “Hmm?”

“Remember our first night after our wedding?” I asked

He stopped for a while and smile widely "How can I forget that? Hmm...”

He kissed my neck again and even started nibbling it. Gumapang na rin papasok ang kamay niya sa loob ng shirt ko. His long fingers traced up to the swell of my breast. The bulge on his pants pressed perfectly to my ass. It's actually a very arousing idea.

“I'm so happy that time, it was just so hard to express what I feel, you know how inexpressive I am. But I love being with you, I love making love with you. I love being inside you, squeezing me. I love everything about you.” he whispered as he continued biting my ear while his finger teasingly slid inside my brassiere.

He slowly and torturously bucked his hips to feel me despite the clothes that remains a barrier to the place where he wanted the most. His ragged breathing was making my skin shiver.

“Baby...” he kissed my neck again

I want to smile and say that I love making love with him too, that I crave him as much as he craves me. That I love watching his blue eyes shine under my gaze but...

I let out an anxious laugh as I said “But Lucian,” I glanced at him with now a serious look

He stopped what he was doing and kept his attention to what I will say. I felt my voice suddenly unable to speak, but I had to do this.

“We never had our first night. You said that you won't waste a night with me, and just focus to your work instead.”
