Toxic Marriage Chapter # 17
Sophie POV:-It's almost midnight and my stomach was growling. My dried lips formed a thin line as I was starving and also in a desperate need of sleep but I was waiting for Christian. Seems like he forgot that there's a wife waiting for him.But, Why am I waiting for him? I can eat alone too but somewhere in my heart, I don't want to. More like I can't since he ‘expects’ me to have dinner with him.I sighed and put my head on the dining table and closed my eyes.I wonder why his eyes always flicker with compassion as if even if he wants to hurt me, he can't. Something is pulling him to not to do that. I find it funny, nothing can stop that cold guy, he can break me miserably any moment, there are no restrictions, I gave him all the rights to do it and to be honest, I am afraid of the day he will.‘And somewhere deep down, I think he wouldn’t break me and if he did, I don’t think it would break me physically- my body belongs to him- but emotionally.’He can do anything and can indu

The next day, I was swinging my legs while sitting on the couch in the library because I am alone in the house and the devil has gone to work.His absence feels like a reprieve from chaos, A short-lived freedom to me.After reading, I leaned back and closed my eyes and remembered him consoling me for the nightmare and later intimidating me about it.I just don't understand him. Why does he pity me? Why does he show little gestures that make me feel like he cares?‘When there isn't any love then why does he refrain himself? There's no need for him to confine himself.’He doesn’t have to make things so complicated.His eyes are always clo

I was sitting in the hall with a scowl. I pulled my hair in frustration. It's been a month of our marriage and I am amazed at the fact that I survived these dreadful days.Staying in this house filled with extreme horrors is causing me to lose my sanity. I felt so void- like a lifeless being.Used over and over again and breaking painfully slow, it's getting harder to stay normal; Either my fears or my depression eats me up.‘Oh, Eugene, please recover quickly, I want to free myself.’I was already filled with intense loathe and abhor and Christian came here to ignite that fire more. He stood in front of me as I stood up and looked at him coldly."We are going to a party tonight." He said cold

I looked at my aristocratic form which hides my despair and aversion behind those walls of makeup and expensive dress. I can see a different person there, truly gorgeous but I feel artificial. It's like a silver coating on copper. I looked down as I walked out and looked at Christian who seemed flawless as ever. He scanned me for a second from top to bottom and his stare made me even more uncomfortable. I kept looking down and he asked, "What happened?""It's just.. everything is a bit much, don't you think?" I said in a soft tone."Why?" He asked again, raising an eyebrow."It's... just.." I trailed off."Isn't that what you desire?" He asked as he put his hands in the pocket of his pants and walked closer."I do, But.." My lips formed a thin line as I kept looking away.Before I could say anything else, he wrapped his arm around me as he pulled me close."Don't hesitate. You deserve it." He said as I nodded and we left.We stopped outside our destination as he looked at me,"Bewa

"Merlin, Get away and leave me and my wife alone." He said in his usual dominant tone. I shivered when he said 'my wife' prominently. He smirked when he also felt my shiver. After she left, Tyler also excused himself. I got away from him and gave him a seething look. "Who told you about my coffee?" He asked. I sighed and and said, "I cook dinner every day. I know you like coffee like this, a strong tea with cardamom, custard in desert and pasta in food" He was taken aback upon hearing this. "When did you..?" I smirked at his reaction and said, "When I was left in that house alone, I had no choice. I even know you like reading Lord of the Rings the most and you like animated movies." He was now even more shocked and a little bit embarrassed. But that didn't last long as he smirked and spoke up, "I know you like dancing alone. You like speaking in a childish voice and later laugh on it. You like stargazing. You like running for no reason. You liked picking fights with other gi
Toxic Marriage Chapter # 22
“How could you do this?” The sound of my cries was muffled by my hand over my mouth to prevent me from humiliating myself further. “You made me do what I never wanted to…” I sobbed. He made me feel so repugnant as it feels like my soul can never be purified again. I felt immense hate and repulsion for him. “I hate you so much… Why did you do this?” He is the worst form of a human, he is a cruel guy with no compassion for anyone. I want to run away to a deserted place and cry out loud. I want to be away from him as much as possible. “Why? I thought that what is our marriage based upon, hmm?” He scoffed. Shut up. Shut up. How in the world did he come to know I hate PDA in the first place? It’s like he knew what I hate the most and doing what exactly I despise. “You married to please my lust if you remember. That is the whole point of it. So stop this whining.” He replied, displeased at my reaction. “I know but I don’t…” I paused, wiping my tears. “Why did you agree for it
Toxic Marriage Chapter # 23
I know my acts are unforgivable and no matter what, I can't justify myself. I have done such low-level acts. Even if our contract states I can do this still… I don’t like it anymore. “When did I become that cold? I was never like this. What took over me? I have tormented her for something she never did.” I asked myself but can it undo anything? Intimidating her, I can still get it but what I have done now is degraded. I need to talk to someone. Someone who will show me what I should do. I went to see Tyler. I can't go to Aunt Skye, she'll hate me if she comes to know what I have done to her daughter. ‘What if Sophie tells her?’ Knowing her, I know she won't. Not after I told her not to. Tyler looked surprised when he saw me. I went inside as he asked, "What happened, Man? The party has just finished, so does yours." He smirked as I looked down and began to say, "Tyler.. listen.. I want to tell you something..." I trailed off, he nodded and took a seat beside me. "Is everyt
Toxic Marriage Chapter # 24
I heard another sniffle and turned on the lights only to find out Christian there. He was trembling in fear, he gasped when he looked at me, "Turn off the lights!" He shouted. “What the-” I cannot find words to explain what's in my mind. No words can describe what crossed my mind. A sudden knot was felt by my heart by seeing him like this. Though he is the first person I want to see like this, to suffer and burn endlessly. “Christian?” He was sitting on the floor hugging his knees, quivering like crazy. Swallowing hard, I walked closer and looked at him. His face was hidden in his knees. "Turn off the lights... I deserve it.." He sobbed. “Leave me in darkness…” The sound of his cry made my heart heavy. ‘He made me cry so much then why did his cries make me sad too?’ I should be happy and let him suffer, but I am not cruel like him. I bend and called his name softly, "Christian..." I hesitantly put my hand over his back as he flinched, he looked at me with those teary
