Todos os capítulos de Discarding my Loveless Marriage : Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

Ronica had no way of knowing for how long she was out but when she regained consciousness, she was still bleeding on the villa's steps, with the hefty front doors shut in her face. she painfully picked up herself and her dignity. Abandoning the broken shoes drenched in her blood, she grabbed her suitcase and staggered towards the massive gate. Hopefully, she had not been out long enough to disrupt her plans to leave James for good. Near the gate, there was a suspicious looking black sedan and none of the gatemen were in sight. She quickened her pace and tried to ignore. How far would James really go to hold her back? The gate was locked with a new and bigger padlock. In her own marital home, Ronica realized that she was no longer the mistress. Two able-bodied men whom she recognized as James' cronies pulled her roughly, back into the villa. Her struggles were no match for them as they bound her tightly to a chair in James' study. James glared at her coldly. "What is the meaning of th

The limousine approached the villa just as James and Mona were finishing their throes of pleasure. Mona yanked the privacy curtain open. From the dashboard mirror, Ronica could see that she wasn't properly dressed. Her lips were swollen, her hair tussled. She was adjusting her bra while her skirt was rolled high up her thighs. Her still damp lace panties were discarded on the seat. As if sensing Ronica's gaze, she naughtily flaunted it. "We better hide this Jimmy. Here, shove it in my bra." "It would be my pleasure." Ronica's attention returned to her phone. She had just received another credit alert and a record of her first class flight ticket from her secret contact. "What's so interesting in your phone?" James jeered. His voice carried a hint of jealousy but perhaps she was imagining it. He had Mona now after all. God forbid that he thought he could have them both. "Just surfing the news," she smoothly lied. The car arrived at the villa doors and she smartly stepped out. She

Because it appeared to be the new normal, all members and staff of the Simmons' household followed James' lead and fawned over Mona. Nobody wanted to address the elephant in the room until it was a mere few hours to Patrick Simmons' birthday party. Ronica Simmons was still missing. "It's only a few hours left until your father's birthday party and Ronica is nowhere to be found. She never even made it to the pharmacy last night," Mona told James while she feigned concern even as she was clad from head to toe in clothes and accessories that were all once Ronica's. James did not allow himself to be bothered. Ronica had no family or career so she relied wholly on him. "She will show up. She cannot afford displeasing my father and me. She's only pulling this stunt because she hopes I will call to beg her. She is that pathetic." James privately employed the servants to find her but they had no idea where she was. James seethed. Today was a very important day for him and if Ronica ruined i

"Cancel the concert Ronica, and I'll let you come home." James said. His heart was pounding as no answer came through the line. Did she think he was bluffing? Had she cut the call on him? "Did you hear what I said?" "Yes James, I heard you loud and clear," her surprising voice of steel cut through. James breathed with relief. He could salvage the situation as long as Ronica stayed on the line. He resolved to take the heady calm approach. "Ronica," he began, "What's all this? Why are you acting out all of a sudden? This isn't like you. Tell me where you are and I'll come pick you up. Then we can discuss this." "There's nothing to discuss." "What do you mean there's nothing to discuss? Are you out of your mind? Did you forget who I am to you? I am your husband." "I think it is you who has forgotten that I am your wife," Ronica snapped. "For eight years I succumbed to you. I left my family for you. Quit my career for you and you couldn't even respect that. I was a golden egg sitting

Ronica was on probation, trapped under the watchful eyes of her cruel and quite unreasonable husband. The atmosphere at the villa was stiff and filled with tension. All the servants seemed ashamed to look her in the eyes. It wasn't hard for her to eventually put two and two together. James had bragged to them that she had come crawling back to him. She suspected that they were disappointed in her. She would let them believe his narrative until he trusted her enough to give her back her phone. She would have to call her secret contact to rescue her. Her secret contact had told her that it was not the right time to reveal himself to James. Ronica respected his decision so much that she feared he would break it for her sake. She did not want to imagine her secret contact carelessly revealing his identity by storming into the villa to find her. Even though he was bound to suspect that James had something to do with her sudden disappearance. It had been three days since she had agreed to
