Toxic Marriage Chapter # 28
Henley knocked as his deep voice came, "Come in." She opened the door and motioned me to come in. I walked in as Christian was shocked to see me. "Sir, The meeting is in 10 minutes." She said as she left me alone with him. I timidly handed him the file, "Here you go." I said feebly. "Thanks." He smiled. ‘Maybe this is the first time he smiled at me.’ “It’s okay..” I looked away and was about to leave but he said. "Sophie, can you wait, I'll finish my meeting and then we can go home together. Please." He said desperately. He knows that I'll refuse. I looked at him for a second and then took a seat. His smile grew wider as he stood up, "Thanks, I'll be back." He said as he left, leaving me alone here. I don’t know why I stayed. I was looking around. The room was quite big, well that was expected. I looked around. I walked towards the window and looked out of it. Even Amber One wasn't that big. I was looking out and got so lost in thoughts. ‘Why did he become that swe

We reached home and had dinner. I went to our room as my heart skipped a beat, remembering all those agonizing memories that room gave me. We awkwardly stood in the room. We were lost in our own thoughts. I, in dread, which he can never eradicate. He, in penitence that I can never forgive him. We looked at each other for a second as we both said at the same time. "Let's sleep." This all is so awkward. I quickly went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I realized that I forgot my clothes outside. I was about to call Christian but he knocked first. "You forgot your clothes." I heard his voice. I slowly opened the door, he was looking away while holding the clothes. He isn't trying to look at my exposed form, well that's unusual coming from him. “Thanks…” I took the clothes and wore them and walked outside. He went to the bathroom without sparing a glance at me. I laid on my side and tried to sleep but I just couldn't. I sensed him coming out of the bathroom and lay

We reached the hospital and I am so exhilarated that I forgot that I am with the person I hate as I cling onto his arm. “Oh my God.” To my delight, I forget everything. My heart was beating fast with glee. I pushed the door open and saw Eugene sitting as he looked at me. I covered my mouth with my hand as tears brimmed in my eyes. I rushed to his side and hugged him and began to cry out loud. "Eugene!" I cried. Mother's eyes also teared up seeing us like this. I continued to cry out loud as he rubbed my back. Just how much agony you made me go through my brother... "Sophie..." he whispered. I pulled away and smiled at him. He smiled back and spoke faintly. "You stopped paying visits so I thought I would wake up and ask." I laughed a little and replied. "You should have told me before. I would have done it earlier." We both laughed a little as he wiped my tears. "You always cried... Now I am awake, I won't let you cry.. not anymore.." He assured me and I smiled. I felt saf

"Easy.." I breathe out, standing on the bed while holding the bedpost, trying to stay composed and not freak out. Sweat rolled down from my forehead as I was panting heavily. "Watch it!" I shouted as Christian turned to look at my scared form and narrowed his eyes at me in annoyance. "It's just a lizard." He sighed. "You know me, damn it! I am scared of any kind of insect!" I whined. "It's a reptile." He corrected me. "I don't care what it is! Just kill it already!" I just woke up and saw a lizard on the ground and my terror took over as I screamed, waking him up. And now he is looking for the lizard as I was standing on the bed in dread. "You have such a castle-like mansion can't you watch it out from insects!" I complained. He spares a glance at me and said. "It's not my fault. And a lizard is a reptile." His stressed face turned into a wicked smirk as he said. "I'll catch it and throw it at you." My eyes widened in horror as I shook my head no. His smirk grew wider.

I was about to enter our room but took a step back, "Samuel killed the Lizard. Isn't he?" He laughed. "Yeah, don't worry." I took a deep breath. Christian opened his mouth but I glared at him to shut him up. He smiled sweetly as I understood he must be planning something. "Don't you dare..." I threatened him. "What? I didn't plan anything." He said innocently. I narrowed my eyes at him and laid on my side to fall into a deep slumber. After a few moments, I felt something on me. I thought it was Christian's hand but it wasn't. I gulped and put my hand over my arm. I felt it's something and I caught it. My heart skipped a beat because I am holding something. I turned on the lamp and saw a cockroach as I screamed from the bottom of my lungs and threw it away as I fell on the ground. "What happened?" Christian asked, waking up from slumber. "I-it was a-a" I shuddered. "Cockroach?" He smirked as I realized that wasn't moving and it's a fake one. Tears brimmed in my eyes as

Eugene said as he was leaning on the column. Our eyes widened as we stood up. He walked closer. "Your husband told me everything." He hissed in anger. “And I mean everything.” It gave me chills when he emphasized on ‘everything’ it gave me a strange fright but when he said this, he glared impulsively at Mother who gulped in fear. “We will talk about it later, Mother.” He growled and turned to me. "You think I am that stupid that I can't see the pain behind your eyes." He said as his eyes flicker with intense sorrow. I looked down in shame. "Mother, Can you give me the keys to our house?" He asked. "Why?" Mother asked in horror. "I have no intention of staying in someone else's house." He said with venom. "Please don't go, Eugene." Mother clung onto his arm as he smiled sadly. Just then, Christian came, when he looked at Mother's crying form he asked, "What happened?" Eugene let out an empty laugh as he glared at Christian, "You. That's what happened." Eugene growled. Ch
Toxic Marriage Chapter # 34
After crying my heart out, I walked out and saw Christian sitting on the bed rubbing his temples. At this time, I felt immense loathe and abhor for him. “Christian.” I stood in front of him and gave him a detestable look. My heart skipped a beat just thinking about the consequences of my words. “Sophie, I am sorry.” Mentally preparing myself for the worst, I said with venom. "Do you remember, the day Eugene woke up, I said I wanted to talk to you?" He looked up at me as he narrowed his eyes at me. "You know what I wanted to say?" I said as a tear fell from my eye. He kept looking at me with his distress eyes as I said that staring deep into his murk eyes with resentment, "I want liberation. An eternal reprieve from this hell." I snarled as it took him some seconds to register what I was saying. Once, he comprehends my words, his eyes widened as he stood up and it felt like the intimidation which was hidden for the past weeks burst out with much force. “What?” My heart
Toxic Marriage Chapter # 35
Christian POV:- That woman is driving me insane with her tears. “What does she want?” At first, she defended me in front of everyone, shocking me to no extent. I never thought that she'll choose me over her brother. Instead of taking her brother's side, she took mine. And after that, she became angry with me, which filled me with the guilt of breaking her heart again.

Just how much it shattered my heart. “Her place is not there.” I don't want her to be like that. I broke my promise, I doubt that she'll ever trust me again. She provoked me to become what I am not.
