End the Stupid Bet, Win My Stage のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

*RAPHAEL*Was this what being a groom felt like?I was bored to death.Weddings don’t seem like this in movies.I stared at everyone, they all looked so wealthy and sophisticated.We danced earlier but it was just the slow dancing I had practiced with Dante before.For God’s sake, bring on the music and let’s hit the dance floor.Damn! I miss the old days at Puerto Vallarta.“Enzo…congratulations, man.”I turned around to face three men.They looked as young as I was.“Thanks.” I let out and my eyes searched through the lawn for Dante.He caught my gaze and hurried over to me.“Wow…Dante, you’re still following Enzo around.” Another said and they laughed including Dante.Was that funny?Dante moved closer to me and whispered. “They’re Enzo’s friends from high school.”“But don’t you think you got married too early?”I frowned. “I’m twenty-seven.”They snickered and the tallest of them replied.“I just can’t imagine myself getting married soon…maybe in six or seven years time, I would

*RAPHAEL*“I’ll drive.” She offered.Being behind the wheels was terrifying enough so I didn’t hesitate to pull over.I got down and we switched positions.But as soon as she hit the highway, my heart fell, probably to the floor.She was driving too fast…overtaking as many cars as possible.If she was ready to die, I wasn’t.“Slow down.” I murmured but she increased her speed.“Slow down!” I yelled holding onto anything I could reach for my dear life.She squealed in excitement.How is she having fun in this?“MONA! STOP THE CAR.” I cried.I shouldn’t have let her drive.I silently started praying for a divine intervention of a sort.And when she finally pulled off…I undid my seatbelt and got down from the car.**********MONALISA*I alighted from the car to find my husband throwing up.Seriously?“Aren’t you feeling well?” I asked.“The only sick person here is you.” He let out, wiping off his lips with an handkerchief.“What did I do?”“You almost had us killed.”“How?”“Who on eart

*MONALISA*I slept on the bed while my prudish husband slept on the couch.I have a very high libido and being married to such a person is suffocating.I mean who on earth would have thought he was this…this…ugh!And now I was supposed to wait till God knows when he would be ready.It doesn’t even make any sense.Men are always ready!What kind of man was he?When I woke up the next morning,I sat up on the bed and watched him still sleeping on the sofa.I leaned against the headboard wondering what exactly was his problem.When he dresses up…looking so hot in his suit and all that…I thought he would be someone who would take charge in bed and fuck me until I can’t remember anything.He rolled over and as if he forgot he wasn’t on a bed, he fell off the couch and landed on the floor, thereby waking up.“Good morning.” He said to me as he stood up straight.I rolled my eye.I need someone more manly than this.Why was he this way?He rubbed his neck.“Aww…my whole body aches.” He murmur

*MONALISA*It’s been years since I was at a beach.I’ve avoided going to a beach by all means.When I became a model, I turned down offers that would make me venture into any beach at all.But today, I thought it would be okay.I was over that now.Enzo and I walked on the beach sand and he turned to face me.“You didn’t take any pictures at the Aquarium. Do you want me to take a picture of you now?” He asked.I shook my head. “I don’t need it.”He grinned at me and turned to face the ocean.“Wow…it’s such a beautiful view.”I stared at some parents and their children.Don’t think about it, Mona.Don’t think about it.You shouldn’t think about it…but then her last words to me ran through my head.*Turn around, Pumpkin. Close your eyes and count to 10.*We were at a beach.We had come together to build sand castles and play in the bay of the ocean.“Why?” I had asked her.“I have a surprise for you. Make sure you don’t look back until you finished counting to 10, okay?”I had nodded ex

*RAPHAEL*I panicked as I quickly pushed her away from my body before she could kiss me.I stood up from the bed, panting.Mona slowly turned to face me.“Don’t you find me attractive?” She asked.I don’t know.I haven’t allowed myself to think of her that way.“I just can’t understand how you can live in the same room as me and not get any reaction. Or is there something wrong with you down there?” She asked.I tried to think of an excuse.There had been no progress from Dante.And the longer I stay with Mona, the harder it would be to keep up with all the lies.I’m sure she found me super weird.******************MONALISA*I’m starting to feel angry that I keep throwing myself at him.It badly hurt my pride.I had simply thought we would do what married couple do. Even people that weren’t married do this so what was his problem?!If he wanted to play this game, then I was ready too.I was not about to jeopardize my reputation by having an affair with someone else.But I was going t
