All Chapters of My Husband Wants An Open Marriage : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

*ALORA* I was literally a mess for the rest of the day. I couldn’t bring myself to leave my bedroom. I cried my eyes out until they started to hurt. By evening, I was in bed, I was no longer crying now but a numb feeling had overtaken my body.I recalled Gael’s words. When he said that this was an open marriage. I didn’t accept that. I couldn’t bring myself to be involved with another man. But it seemed that he still had no problem screwing Camila. My fists clenched. Why should I continue to honor our marriage when he doesn’t care?! I stood up from the bed and marched up to the dresser.Sitting in front of it, I began to apply make up on my face. My eyes were still red so I got some prescribed eye-drops from my drawer and applied it on my eyes. Over the years I had cried a lot. I had cried a lot because I missed my husband. I had cried a lot because I missed the Gael who loved me. My eyes were always red and people would ask what was wrong with me. So I h

*ALORA* “You punk!” Javier Torres roared as he punched Gael on the face. Javier was his father.The three of us had gotten home and Gael had just informed his family about Camila. “How could you do this to Alora? You’re so shameless!”His mother, Julieta spat. “I don’t love her! Why should I keep being forced to be with someone I don’t love?” Gael shot back. “And you think this skank is a better replacement? If she could be with her best friend’s man, that alone should tell you that she isn’t a good person!” Camila burst into tears after those words.I sat there quietly watching the show.This was like a bigger eye opener for me, making me understand that Gael and I really needed a divorce. How can I continue to stay married to a man who didn’t want me at all? Now with a child in the question, though I was badly hurt, I do not want to be the reason why a child cannot have a complete family. “Camila is better than anyone in this room!”Gael de

*ALORA* I closed my eyes refusing to believe this.Maybe I was mistaken.Maybe they looked alike.I mean, it was late last night, I could even be making a mistake about his face, they might not even look alike. I held my head trying to picture the man I met last night, yeah, definitely different men. The man from last night told me his name was Enzo.Lorenzo. My breath caught again.Enzo could be an abbreviation of Lorenzo.No.There were many names Enzo could be gotten from, like Vincenzo, any many others, right? I looked around and saw him again, some men were gathering around him shaking hands with him. He suddenly looked up and our eyes met but then he looked away, almost immediately. I felt momentarily relieved.He didn’t seem like he knew who I was.He didn’t.That was a good sign.He was definitely not that man from last night. “Alora.”I jumped, hearing a voice behind me.I turned to see Gael. “Why do you look so startled and…pale?”I blin

*ALORA* I swallowed and stood up from the chair. “What should I have done? Allow you humiliate me, publicly?” “Humiliate you? I’d never do that.” His voice was calm but the look in his eyes was cold. “You were about to tell everyone what happened last night." “So?”My jaw dropped.For someone so high and mighty, I didn’t think he was so slow. “I am your cousin’s wife. Don’t you know how it’d sound for people to know that I almost had a one-night-stand with you?” “I guess you two are in the process of getting a divorce so it wouldn’t matter.”I frowned.Granted, Gael and I’s marriage was heading towards a divorce but it wasn’t publicized yet, none of us had even filed for it. We were still pretending to be a happy couple so Don Lorenzo didn’t need to know the details so I said. “We aren’t. We aren’t getting a divorce.” “So you were about to have an affair with me last night?”Why was he still dragging this?I clasped my pa

*Do not appear before my sight again.* Lucia paced to and fro in her bedroom as those words ran through her head. She tried not to be deterred by them, after all, everyone knew Don Lorenzo was a ruthless person. Some say he didn’t have a heart. Even with all the rumors flying around about him, Lucia still believed he was her soulmate. She had dreamt countlessly of becoming his wife. Of how much power and wealth she’d have. She’d practically have people bowing down to her. Even if her father was rich. The Ramos family were fairly rich. They weren’t lacking money but in comparison to the Armani family, her family’s net worth wasn’t even up to quarter of the Armani’s family fortune. Lucia wanted to be Lorenzo’s woman. It was her lifelong dream. Each time she heard about him, she thought of him as her Prince Charming. Her dark twisted Prince Charming. She stopped pacing when she thought about the fact that she had found Lorenzo and Alora talking all alone at the gar
