OPEN MARRIAGE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Jeff made calls to all of the friends he knew he had and asked them to invite everyone they knew, including strangers, to the sudden party he would be having overnight in his house. And as he made the call discreetly in the kitchen to Francis, he asked him why he suddenly wanted to throw an overnight party. Before he could reply, his wife walked into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. "Why are you asking me that? I don't have to tell you… uhm..now. We'll talk better in person," he said as he met Rhoda's eyes. She refused to look away as she gulped down the glass of water. That annoyed him, so he added, "Don't forget, buddy, everyone you know. I mean, everyone you can think of."Since Rhoda didn't understand what he was saying, she excused herself and walked out of the kitchen.Jeff gave her a deadly glare as she went. He was ready to pay her back and what he was about to do was just a tip of an iceberg. He would never let her rest. He was more than willing to show her t

That was the smoothest lie Jeffrey had ever heard. He looked at Rhoda before biting his lower lip. "I am sorry I disturbed your…. Uhm," he stretched his hand towards the sofa. "Feel free to continue. Don't mind me. I'll be upstairs," he said and walked out of their presence.He had to come back home since the trip he was planning on going on had been canceled. He decided to come home early and take the day off instead of resuming back to work. But walking in on Rhoda like that made him remember why they had to get married again. That was all bullshit to him, though. Especially the fact that he got to know the reason he married after the wedding.Her family business was going down the drain and if his father wanted to help, he should do so without getting something as huge as a marriage in return.That was all bullshit to him. Especially the fact that he got to know the reason he married after the wedding. He should have told him the reason beforehand. He shouldn't have blackmailed

"Rhoda, are you okay?" Jeffrey asked as he touched her shoulder, but she leaned away and placed the cup on the table. In a normal circumstance, he wouldn't have asked. He would have laughed instead since he knew the reason she was coughing.She nodded. "Yeah, I am fine. Thank you. Uhm… I guess the tea took the wrong route, so I choked," she explained as she avoided looking at his eyes. She might actually lean in for the kiss if she did. "Oh, okay." Wrong route, of course. No one was expecting that. "Do you want me to get you a glass of water in the dining room?" Kelly asked."Yes, but in the kitchen please. The door after the dining room. Thank you," Rhoda said and watched her leave to get the water. She stood upright and turned her back to her husband. She needed to get a seat, but he hindered her from moving an inch. "What the fuck is wrong with your sister?"Jeffery laughed. "You already know how she is, but don't think I'm going to give you a goodbye kiss. You can 'choke' all yo

Kelly gulped down another shot of tequila as she tried to avoid the man beside her at all cost. She had only come back to the bar with him because he insisted he wanted to talk. That was why she asked him to drop Rhoda off at her husband's office since it was closer to the bar and she had gotten drunk already after two shots. They had gotten back to the bar and all she had done was ignore his questions. There was no point in telling her ex boyfriend of a few hours ago how she was doing, right? Why would he suddenly care about her when she broke up with her some hours ago?"Kelly? Talk to me, please. And stop taking these shots. You're close to getting drunk, babe," the young man said to her with concern wrapped around his voice."Babe? Did you just call me that, Francis?" Kelly asked while looking at him, but tore the eye contact sooner before she drowned in the ocean of his eyes. "You have broken up with me, have you forgotten that? You do not want me anymore. How did you even know

Jeffrey had asked his best friend to hang out with him at their usual bar outside the city to talk over a drink or two. And since they had agreed to go in Jeff's car, he was the one who went to his house to pick him up and they made their way out of the city to Laury's bar. They had made the place their favorite place to hang out because it was where they met for the first time. Then, the bar was run by a middle aged woman who recognized them as her regular customers. The situation that brought them together was quite funny. Jeff had been in high school then and he had skipped school to bring his girlfriend to the place to have some fun and surprisingly, Francis was there for the same reason.But unfortunately and then fortunately for the friends, their girlfriends knew each other and had gotten into a terrible fight that day. They had exchanged numbers that day after separating the girls. And they had been shocked when they found out that the reason the girls fought was because the
