All Chapters of THE PERFECT WIFE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Aren't you a pathetic sight to behold?” She smirked to her face.Mary smiled “Hello Selena, pregnancy looks good on you” she said wholeheartedly and made to move away but Selena blocked her path.“Does it? I can't say that about you. How many years has it been already? Three years?” She asked in a mocking tone.“What do you want from me Selena?” Mary asked.The subject of her ridicule looked well and happy. Her smile was genuine and healthy, like a new bride who had really married her sweetheart.That was a feeling she had never experienced in her life.After the first few years, she had thought that maybe, he would come around, maybe, he would look at her and long for her but that hadn't happened.She had dyed her hair blonde to look like Selena's, worked out day and night to grow thin like Selena, laughed in that high pitched voice but nothing had changed until that night.That night he had claimed her as his, that night she had surrendered herself to him because he had said he ha

She walked toward the room and saw her mother humming as she sat near the fireplace, knitting her winter sweater. Her favorite Christmas song filled the air, and the cozy room was filled with the aroma of cookies.“Mummy,” she cried.The older woman turned and smiled at her.“Oh, baby, you look so pretty. But why are you crying?” she asked with a wide smile that deepened her cheek dimples.Her eyes sparkled under the neon Christmas lights.Mary shook her head.“I’m okay, Mummy. I’ve just been a bad daughter,” she cried.“Hey, hey, you are never a bad daughter to me. I love you. I carried you in my belly and waited a long nine months to meet you. Don’t you ever think you’re a bad daughter unless I say so,” her mother said, wiping tears from her eyes.“I will always be with you forever,” she said, kissing her forehead.But Mary knew it wasn’t forever.She hugged her tightly when she suddenly felt something wet flung on her face.She blinked slowly, adjusting her eyes to the dim light of

He flung the papers at her.She bent down to pick them up, her hands trembling.Her stomach churned as hunger scraped at the sides of her stomach.A tiny glint of hope was rising in her… maybe it wasn't over.Maybe there was actually something to fight for.She had grown to become who she was from passing through hell, and there was no way she was going to let these hungry, ungrateful leeches take her hard work away from her without a fight.“No! I would sign these papers, Alfred. We will meet in court.”She watched him as he flinched.A tiny smile escaped her lips.She had hit him with a pawn; he hadn't expected that.She didn't know how she was going to win this game without a queen, but she would try.She flung her clothes out of the drawer, her shoes and bags went flying into different boxes as she packed, a sudden surge of energy spreading through her.She was going to fight with everything she had.To hell with it! She was going to fight.She opened her jewel box again and empti

“Good morning love” she kissed him and he purred like a cat, stretching lovingly.She let out a tiny excited shriek as her hands flew down to his naked erection under the blanket.“Naughty girl” he smiled, pulling her into a hug.“So what now?” She asked, her voice slightly serious.Alfred’s heart skipped a beat.The guilt of what they had done to Mary washed through his mind once more.His hands quivered a little as he stroked her bare back.“I have to go to the hospital. I need to tie up loose ends” he said.Selena flinched.She calmed her nerves…..making a mental note of just the kind of man Alfred was.“And?” She asked again“We…..party” he stared into her eyes, sparks flying, emotions playing the card of queens.“And?” She asked again, raising slightly on her elbow.“We take all those vacations we couldn't take because of ‘her’. With the death certificate, all I need to do is show the court all the evidence I have against her plus the divorce papers and her wealth becomes mine” h

He placed the plate of jello by her side and watched her eat slowly.“Can I ask some questions?” She asked, her voice small and shaky.Doctor Morgan moved uncomfortably on the chair he sat on.“You don't need to now. Just eat and rest. You need a lot of it” he tried to hush her.She smiled and scooped a spoon into her mouth, her face grimacing in slight disgust.The doctor laughed out loud.“Hospital food isn't the best medicine for the body but you will survive” he said to her.He checked her vitals and began to walk out of the office when her voice rang out behind him, a little louder than normal.“What happened to him? Alfred? My parents? Did they know I had an accident?” Then her voice broke slightly as she added “Did anyone ever come to visit me while I was here?”The old man stood, divided by emotion and duty.He couldn't risk her going into another coma but he had to warn her.“Sometimes little one, we are better off alone in the world” he replied.She nodded.A strong cry rose
