บททั้งหมดของ Her Husband's Wrath : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Chapter 10I know it sounds crazy, but the cemetery gives peace more than the usual places. I have been there, inside my car, while I was staring at the exact grave of Freya that I can clearly see from here. I woke up early—or should I say that I dressed up early because I didn't really get to sleep last night after what happened. I was crying a river all night, and that is not a surprise anymore. I intentionally left the house before I could even cross Elijah's sight again. The more he becomes aggressive and obnoxious, the more I find him perilous for me. I blew air heavily before I decided to get out of the car and walk towards Freya. Every step that I make gathers all the daggers deeply pierced on my chest. “How are you, Freya?” I found a little smile on my lips. “Sorry, I came empty handed.” I chuckled. I was supposed to head straight to my office but ended up being here. “I was thinking, if the accident didn't happen, would all of this happen to me? Perhaps my life won't be

Chapter 12Elijah’s POV“I’ll see you next time,” the woman kissed me and even lingered her seducing fingers on my neck as she turned her back, leaving me with her eyes glued to me like a leech.I don’t even remember her name. In fact, I don’t remember the names of the women I have sex with even though I brought them all to my place. “Should I come with you until you reach your room? You really don't look fine,” my eyes were stolen when Faith arrived with the maid that seems to be always around her a lot. I remained tough, cold, and heartless as I glanced at her. Her eyes weren’t at me. She was looking at the woman who was just about to leave. Wearing my keenest eyes, I made sure to watch her reaction after seeing another woman in our house. Sadness, pain, but unsurprised. Those are everything that invaded her eyes the moment she saw another woman.“N-No, I'm fine.” She simply shook her head as she closed her eyes deeply. My brows almost crossed as I watched her closely. She looks

Chapter 14“Why are you acting like you care for me?”The deafening silence invaded the entire dining area. Elijah's eyes were pinned on me and that's the same for me. I was holding the spoon firmly in my grasp, squeezing it, while waiting for Elijah's reply. “Nevermind,” I said and was the one who broke our gazes together when he didn't answer. “Because you're sick,” that made me pause again, the moment he said that. I found his eyes still on me, having no emotions at all. “We're still married in papers, you are my responsibility. Do not expect anything,” perhaps that was the answer I needed the most. A clarification with his actions. I have no words to say. He looked away and continued eating while I was stuck there, looking at him. Once again, an excruciating pain attacked my chest. I didn't say anything anymore and tried all my best to swallow the food even though his words weakened me. The next day, we were back to how we normally started this marriage. Elijah isn't speaking

Chapter 16“Are you sure you can go?” Marie asked when I was about to leave the house for another day. She still looks worried after witnessing what happened last night. “I'm fine,” I replied.“You always say that,” I heard her sobbed, which made me freeze from coming into the car. She looked away from me as if she was stopping her tears from dripping. “But we both know that you're not fine,” she added. I crumpled my hand and refrained myself from crying. Her words hit me so much. It penetrated my bones. “I'll mean it soon,” I said, without any assurance that I would. I left her with my forced little smile where there was not even a light of joy. I shut my eyes firmly as the car began to move. I haven't seen Elijah this morning. Marie told me that he left early, which is probably a good thing for me. I don't know how I am supposed to face him. I wasn't even able to have a good sleep right now. My head was flashing back how he slapped me that I didn't see coming. I know that he'

Chapter 18On my birthday, Elijah took advantage of me and forced me to do it with him. Did I ask for too much? I only want to end my birthday with a rest from work. How can the heaven above couldn't even grant that simple wish for me? “Ms. Faith!” My heart almost jumped out of my chest when Marie shouted my name and even slammed her hands on the table. I was startled. She captured my attention right away. I was not into myself that I was already spacing out again. What Elijah did to me for the second time is running rent-free in my head. I couldn't forget it. His touch, the way he pinned me on the wall, the way he locked my hands firmly on his grasps, the way he grabbed my hair like I am a damn prostitute, and the way he enjoyed himself while I was begging him to stop. It was all stuck and glued in my head. “H-Huh? Why?” I asked immediately. I took a heavy breath as I shut my eyes firmly, trying to pull myself back to my senses. “Are you okay?” She asked worriedly again. I froze
