Lahat ng Kabanata ng Unaccidental Mafia Bride : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

PRIMROSEPrimrose bit down hard on her bottom lip trying to stifle the tears that were now soaking her satin pillow. She found it difficult to breathe, as her shoulders shook involuntarily to her sobs. She heard him move behind her.Quickly pressing her palm against her mouth, she bit her lower lip harder to silence her whimper. She held her breath, waiting, till she was certain the ice god was back asleep, then she released her lips and continued crying.Her head began to ache, and she felt her temperature rising. Not now Prim. You cannot fall ill with Jethro and Lin somewhere in this mansion.This realization made her sob harder. Her siblings were now all alone. They just had her. Mamita was gone. Her Mamita was gone.She could barely stifle her tears now. She heard the Ice god move behind her. He had finally heard her. She wanted to stop, but she couldn’t.She felt the bed move as he sat up. She knew he was watching her, and she tried not to look like such a wretch in the pr

“My dear. At this rate you will fall ill," Grandma Alexakis’ old hand took Prim’s. “Did you take the pills the doctor gave you?”“Egan did not let me,” Prim responded as she wiped her nose with a handkerchief. Jet and Lin were quietly watching her cry from where they sat opposite her in the limousine.“What the hell is wrong with that boy?” Grandma Alexakis swore, then she seemed to remember the children were there and stopped.Prim tried to smile at her. She was beginning to realize that her husband hated her. That was the only explanation for his behavior.He had reacted so strongly when he saw the pills. Almost like he had not been there when his grandmother suggested it earlier.He had then flushed all of them down the toilet, without a word to her.The more she thought about it, the more she realized she might have to get a divorce or just run away soon. All she wanted all her life was to get married, be someone’s legal wife and prove all the people who had mocked Mamita wron

Prim was grateful for Grandma Alexakis, grateful that the old lady had judged the situation quickly and sent her siblings upstairs before the Miguel incident.She stumbled into the restroom. Was it just good judgment or did the old lady know the violent nature of her grandsons?She did not like this, this suspicion her mind was forming from all that had been happening since her wedding.The ice god had not reported the death of Renzo’s father to the police. Now this. And Renzo, that was what his father had called him that day if she remembered correctly, was out there now at Mamita’s wake like they were all members of one large happy family.“I like your in-laws.” She heard Aurora’s voice, and the door shut close behind her.Prim groaned, closing her eyes. She did not need this now. She had come here for quiet, so she could think.“Is your husband part of a cult or something? All that power.” Aurora walked around the restroom gushing like they were still friends.Prim said nothing,

PRIMROSEThe Ice god did not come home the whole night after yelling at her and storming off. She did not mind, she did not care.She actually was becoming fed up with him. She would not waste her life like this. Yes, she had foolishly thrown said life away by marrying a stranger, but she was not being held hostage here. She could always leave, and leave she would!She did not believe one bit of that till death do us part nonsense, he said the other day. The man really thought he could scare her, huh!First, he did not care about her. At all, Then those violent traits she kept seeing,now he had resorted to being downright mean, and he expected her to stay? She was determined to have a healthy, love marriage, and it was evident she would not get it here.Mamita would have wanted her to leave too. She was certain she would. Her mother had chosen love and happiness in her own life every single time. Damn the naysayers.She was wondering how best to leave without attracting attenti

Prim had nightmares the whole of that night. She saw herself being chased in the dark woods like she had imagined earlier that day. But instead of the Alexakis chasing her, it was a bloodied-faced Aurora.She jerked awake and looked outside, it was still dark and Egan was sleeping soundly beside her. He actually looked relaxed. In his sleep, his features had softened and he looked young. Somehow, this made his beauty all the more alluring.She looked away quickly. What a waste to divorce such a husband when he practically fell in your lap as a gift from the skies.Well, she could always tell people she had been married to a drop-dead good-looking billionaire for eighteen days.She took a cold shower and stepped into a pair of leggings and a sports bra. She ran every morning since she was a teenager. But she had not done that since she got married. She quietly crept out the door, and hurried out. The darkness had begun to lift outside.She jogged lightly towards the garden, then
