***LUCY’S POINT OF VIEW*** He became indifferent and cold to me over the next few days. He was just acting nice and kind to make me think he was such a gentleman. He was, however, not a nice guy. He was a cunning man, a ruthless tyrant who only wanted to expand his power by marrying me. Alpha Jacob probably assumed I wouldn't know everything, or that I was stupid. The sense of betrayal harmed my self-esteem and negatively damage my emotional health. Yes, I was a spoiled brat, but that didn't give him the right to use me for his own benefit! How dare he even consider it! I wished I wasn't so head over heels in love with him, and that I hadn't succumbed to his charms. I used to be a seductress, but he beat me to it! "Lucy, I can feel your piercing gaze. Come here now and assist me," he said. "No, it's not really convenient to face you in that state," I admitted, trying to shift my focus elsewhere. When he failed to fulfill his husbandly duties on our wedding night, I resolved to be w

****Bethany’s POV***Slowly, I sauntered back inside. In order not to alert Jacob, I tiptoed as I opened the door, only to be welcomed with a sound slap that almost cracked my jaw. I was too stunned to speak at the moment and just looked at him.“How could you?” I confronted him for slapping me. The fact that he didn’t raise a hand on me before made it more disappointing. I was aware he was a rogue, but I didn’t expect him to be a bastard! Jacob didn’t say anything and just drag me to the nearest couch. I prayed he wouldn’t physically hurt me again, but it seemed he would by the fierce look in his eyes.“Stay away from him,” he commanded.To my surprise, he spoke as though was making a request rather than issuing an order. However, once again, he slapped me, and this time it was harder! “Stop it!” I complained while trying to shield my face from him but he was enraged with jealousy. “Please stop…,” I begged him, and the third one didn’t happen. Jacob clenched his teeth and tried to co

***Bethany’s POV***Jacob and I were looking forward to a day at the beach three days later. It had been a long time since we had formed a strong bond as a couple. Jacob recommended that I buy some swimwear at the resort's souvenir shop, which also carried a variety of swimwear.He went to the shop to get something for me because he was the one who talked to the receptionist about our room reservation. “You're going to love it!” He exclaimed as he handed the package to me.My jaw dropped when I saw the swimsuit he had picked out for me when we got back to our room to change. For my personal taste, it was extremely revealing and sexy! “I don't like to wear this one. I'll just go to the store and buy some more,” I informed him but Jacob stopped me and glared at me.“I think you look great in it, sweetheart,” he complimented my attire, but I responded by shaking my head. However, he didn’t give me the chance to get another swimwear attire, and at that moment, I thought it was odd for him

***Bethany’s POV***It happened so fast, but I was left in a daze when he strolled towards the door. My body reacted to the drugs but it was just temporary. However, by the moment, I had the strength to fight against him, he was already inside me.Tears welled up in the corner of my eyes as I watched him having a good time taking me over and over. I wanted to scream but it would be futile. Nobody would hear me, and no one would go against Stefan. Jacob would probably do so but he was gone. He stormed outside without saying goodbye and who knew what he was doing out there?“Get dressed,” he ordered while he was standing in the doorway, and then he was instantly gone.The loud click of the doorknob after he closed the door behind him startled me, and slowly, I stood up and closed my eyes. The aftermath of Stefan’s invasion left a bitter taste in my mouth, and I just wanted to end everything!However, I couldn’t!Just the thought of my daughter who was in the hands of the kind missionari

***Bethany’s POV***The agonizing, stabbing pain in my abdomen was the only thing keeping me awake. I felt dizzy and nauseous as my head felt light and the world around me spun.When the pain subsided, it returned with a vengeance and appeared to have gotten stronger. I paused for a moment and took a deep breath. Taking my mind off the pain would make it easier to deal with.Fortunately, Jacob decided to help me and carried me to his car. I was mad at him but he was the only person who could help me at the moment so I didn’t say anything. While he was driving, and I was in the backseat of his car, my mouth spewed out soft moans and grunts. After that, I felt dizzy and nauseous, and I thought I was about to pass out.It was physically and emotionally draining. I contemplated giving up and succumbing to the agony because it was too much to bear. It was difficult to focus, but I tried my best to distract myself with mindless thoughts, but nothing worked and I passed out.When I awoke, I
