Lahat ng Kabanata ng Unsavory Redemption: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

After leaving home, I went to see Dad and Mom. I entered and it seemed like they were waiting for me. I entered with a feeling of being hollow filling me up. "Oh my, Son. Are you okay? Why did you agree to marry?! She destroyed your life, divorce her this instant!" Mom exclaimed, aggravated. I put my hand over her shoulder and passed her a reassuring smile, "It's okay, Mother." my words shocked her too much as she began to say, "Wha- No! Son, you cannot live your life with a witch like her! Oh my God, did she entangle you in her trap?!" Mother exaggerated. I sighed and began to say, "Look, Mother, I cannot reject her in front of thousands of guests. It will bring shame upon both mine and her name and as for divorce.. I can't do it.. At least not now." "What do you mean by not now?" She said, tensed. "If I divorce her right now a stain will appear in her name and mine name. We all know how high society people will talk about her, a lot of rumors will be spread about her.” I mad

The next day, surprisingly, I woke up without any nightmares. It happens rarely when I am actually bestowed with a sound sleep. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I turned my head and saw no one beside me. A sigh of relief escaped my lips as I yawned. “Thank God.”I smiled and turned my head only to see Ryan sleeping on the couch. “The hell?”By forcing me to sleep with him, he is sleeping on the couch?! What is he? Not that I am complaining but if he was going to do that, he could have done it by using his tongue and speaking but no he decided to be intimate and force me. “Damned Devil.”I sighed and went to the bathroom. I took a warm shower and changed into a casual shirt and trouser. I walked out and saw Ryan shivering. I picked the blanket thrown on the ground and wrapped it around him and walked out. Since I had nothing to do, I went to the Kitchen as Jen greeted me."Good Morning Ma'am." "Oh, Morning." I said leaning on the counter."What brings you here, Ma'am? If yo

‘What am I doing?’ I remained silent and cursed myself for not saying anything. A silence fell upon the table and the cozy environment- which was never formed, was turned into tension. “Rebecca.. I ..” My grip on my fork and knife tightened. "...Say something, Ryan." Said Jared. "Uh…" I trailed off. Rebecca sighed and put her hand over my shoulder and passed me a reassuring smile which sent daggers to me. "It's okay, I shouldn't have asked. There's no need to prove. " She again handled the situation. “And beside that fact we are married should be enough for you guys to not ask this question.” And her forbearance broke. Shit. “Did you guys marry out of fun to ask about ours?” Rebecca snickered, folding her arm. A silence fell upon the room, she left them speechless. “See. So don’t ask this question again.” She said assertively. “Don’t interfere nor try to question our bond because I can do the same with yours and it won’t end well.” She muttered, rolling her eyes off.

I swallowed hard and looked around frantically and took a deep breath as I answered his call. “Hello.” I breathe out. “Hi, Rebecca, Are you okay?” His voice was concerned. “I was so worried about you. You cut all your contact, not even a single message.” He continued. “At least tell me if you are okay or not so I can be at peace.” He added. A smile crept upon my lips as I replied, “Yeah, I am okay... You?” “I am also fine… just missing you so I thought that I should ask how you are doing?” “I.. am fine...” I replied vaguely which caused him to question. “Really? Does he treat you right?” No. “You can tell me-” “Jayden…” I closed my eyes as the urge to cry and tell him everything aroused in me. I swallowed hard and after a brief pause I spoke up. “Don’t call me again. I... am a married woman and...” I paused to find words. “My...dignity doesn’t allow me to talk to any other man than him… especially someone to whom.. I am- was attracted.” “But-” I tried to speak firm

It's been a month of our marriage and after that night, I didn't even try to be intimate with her. We lived our lives ignoring each other. Whenever I try to touch her I don't know but something pulls me back. I still wanted to see her destruction, the day when she'll beg me for forgiveness for destroying my life and not just her but everyone, including you too, Marianne. ‘You shattered my heart, I ‘loved’ you dearly and you just... leave it, all I can do now is to curse all of you.’ It somehow became a routine of mine to be awake by Rebecca. “Mr Knight. Wake up.” She woke up before me and then came after a while to wake me up and then wait for me to get ready as she hung clothes outside the closet for me knowing that I'll never wear the clothes chosen by her but still. “Breakfast is served.” And then I'll walk out in my shirt and pants as she'll help me to wear my coat and then she'll fasten the tie around my neck. “Don’t do it.” I said coldly. “I will do whatever I want
