All Chapters of SCORNED BY HIM, DESIRED BY THE THREE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Bulky. Too tight. Top part too revealing. To crown it all, I detested red for clothes, but the fitting assistant had called it "stunning" and Eddy had nodded in agreement.Now, standing in the quiet living room of our home in Malibu in that same dress, my body feeling not like mine, I waited for Eddy to come downstairs.My hand rose to my eyes for the upteenth time, and just like a call to action, they scanned the face of the golden wristwatch strapped across my wrist.It was exactly the nineteenth time I was doing that while I waited for Eddy. It was a minute past 9pm. I drew in a hard breath.It meant I had been waiting for two hours and I was still going to wait until he comes. Out of boredom this time, I clicked my clutch open and made to pull out my lipstick, but then decided against it. I had already reapplied it four times.I had stood up, sat, stood up and sat again, severally, the back of my thighs had mastered the texture of the cream sofa.Every sound caused me to look up

LOLAFredmon.My ex-boyfriend I had broken up with two years ago to marry the man who was now my husband, my nightmare.Same tall blonde with his jacket hanging loose on his arm like he was fighting the urge to leave it in the trash, his tie unknotted across his neck like a scarf, his plain shirt tucked out with the first few buttons undone, he looked different.

I said under my breath."You heard me.""I did.""Okay?""I heard you ask me to seduce your best friend before the week ends," I managed, disgust rising through my chest, clean and cold, like water finding cracks."I didn't say seduce. I said ---""Eddison! I am not doing that." My voice was shaky but the words were firm.He didn't back off. He only adjusted in his position, ready to make me want what he wanted. He never listen to me."You don't have to do any extra work. Just do what you have always done. Be present, attentive, involved.""Eddison!" I called out, not a yell, more like a plea for him to not go further.Slowly, he looked away, pathetically, like he was selling an opportunity I wouldn't want to miss."Aren't you tired of enduring a marriage like this?" He inhaled deeply."Don't you think you need to do something to show my father that this marriage isn't working for us?" he asked, his voice serious and his focus sharp on my eyes.Us?He asked like he
