All Chapters of Toxic Marriage: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"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

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

I spend the night in a random room, not wanting to witness that state of his. A lot of things were left in my mind but the most mystifying thing was, ‘What does he mean by I am his?’ Was he referring to our contract? Or there's something else? I was lost in thoughts and before I knew it, The dawn fell upon the sky. I closed my eyes and remained like that for a while. A lot of unwanted things came to my mind and stirred it drastically. “Forget it, Sophie, it's useless to think.” Taking a deep breath, I walked out and went to my room and took a relaxing bath to relax both my burning mind and body. I walked out and wore a casual red shirt and black jeans and went to have breakfast. I saw Christian in his usual dominant form there. It's better if we don't remember about last night. Without acknowledging his presence, I took my usual seat. He looked at me for a second and asked, "Why didn't you come to the room?" For a second as my heart skipped a beat, I thought that he reme

Christian POV:-‘What have I done? How much have I scared her?’I felt bad looking at Sophie. I know she was always in despair since the moment we got married but now, I want to obliterate that despair.‘I had enough of this fright.’ “Sophie, Please.” Even though I can't give her love. But, I don't want to hate her either. She had enough, I don't want to hurt her anymore. ‘But, I know after what I did, she can never love me. I don’t even want her to love me; I just don’t want her to be scared of me.’ “Calm down, it’s going to be alright.” I whispered. I want to redeem my mistakes. I want to start my life anew with her . Not with a contract but as husband and wife. Maybe, we both can find salvation like this. I wanted to remove the bad memories from her mind now but I know it’s not possible… after what I did.“Sophie-” I made a wrong choice as I put my hand over her shoulder to calm her but she was far too terrified to relax in my presence.I felt my heart heavy when tears rolled

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
