All Chapters of Wrong Marriage, Perfect Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Amari“Mom! Mom!” I frantically shake my fragile, sickly parent. My brain is screaming this can’t be happening. I can’t lose her, I just can’t. “Mom!” I shout in horror when I see no signs of life in her. The machines are beeping nonstop, raising my worst nightmare. “Please wait outside, Miss Brown,” Nurse Smith says and gentle leads me out while the medical team close the curtains behind us. “Lord please save my mom. I will do anything,” I murmur a prayer in my heart. Nurse Smith heads back into the intensive care unit, leaving me pacing outside. It’s twenty minutes later when I am startled by someone touching my shoulder. “Miss Brown.”My heart starts pounding when I see the doctor. I can’t tell from his expression whether he has good or bad news for me. “How…how is she, Doc?” I stammer. He lets out a sigh. “We have managed to resuscitate her, but her condition is getting worse. She needs the operation.”I let out a loud sigh. My mother is still alive. “I know, Doc. I am t

NathanAmari takes a few steps towards the nurse and stops. I can see her hands shaking. She must have reached to the same conclusion as I have. “My phone is broken. Is Mom okay?”“Your…your…” the nurse stammers and Amari drops on her knees. She shakes her head, while tears roll down her cheeks. “I am so sorry, Kid. She crashed again. The resuscitation was not successful this time. We lost her two hours ago,” the nurse explains. “No. She can’t be gone. She can’t be,” Amari mumbles with her tears streaming down and I feel so helpless. “The hospital informed your uncle when they could not get hold of you,” the nurse continues while I shake my head. Thomas and his family knew that Amari’s mother had died before the wedding, yet they still tied her to me to save their princess. They are the only relatives she has but they did not even inform her of her mother’s passing afterwards. They did not even wait to comfort her. “I am so sorry, Kid. I came as soon as I could, but the guards at

NathanExactly like the day before, James is at the entrance near the elevators when we return to our apartment. Today he is wearing a famous white designer shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers. The Rolex watch on his wrist and his step screams confidence. His cologne reaches us before he does. I flinch when he embraces my wife. The bastard winks at me while squeezing Amari in his arms. “I am so sorry about your mom,” he says gently while anger and something I can’t quite describe, rise inside me. I tell myself that I have no right to be jealous when Amari was tricked into this marriage. My pride does not seem to have received that memo though. I clench my jaw and bite my tongue. Speaking out will make me seem like an insecure idiot. I am taking deep breaths to calm the storm brewing inside me when Amari reacts.“Let go of me. What is wrong with you?” Amari yells and pushes him away. She looks and sounds angry with her beautiful eyes blazing at him. The push must have been strong

Nathan I wake up the following morning to find my wife in my arms. She must have been emotionally exhausted because she usually wakes up before me. I pick up my phone and instruct Brian to send us breakfast. I don’t want Amari worrying about that today. I am still watching her when she flips her alluring eyes open. “Morning.”I plant a kiss on her forehead. “Morning, wife.”I tighten my arms around her when she cries to sit. “Breakfast is sorted. A friend is sending us something,” I say and feel her relax. “How did you manage to settle the hospital bill?”“I told you that I know someone. The hospital CEO owns me a favour. He is paying for the funeral expenses as well,” I lie again. “Thank you, Nathan. Truly.”“Hey, I am your husband. This is my responsibility,” I remind her and she smiles, her eyes sparkling at me. “It’s the funeral today. How are you feeling?” I enquire and she lets out a sigh. “I don’t know. A part of me is glad that she is no longer suffering. That she is r

AmariI don’t know if I am being naive, or if I desperately need someone close to family, but Nathan is completely different from how I remember him being back at school. He is still hot and charming as always. Even when I saw him at the chapel with dirty clothes on that wheelchair, all saw was a boy I had a huge crush on growing up. A boy I got a fractured arm for and he never spoke to me again after that. He is more caring and compassionate than I remember. Sleeping next to him is making me dream things I would never confess to anyone. His thoughtfulness and those kisses, leave me all gooey inside. I am on my way back from work when I meet Isaac and he tells me what that idiot, James did. I am fuming by the time I get home and see Nathan’s face all swollen with over ten stiches. I am really sad that he does not feel that he is special to me. That he felt my work was more important than him. Taking out my bat, I head to James’s apartment and find him sitting on the couch.“Amar...
