Anniversary Night: Exposing His Sweet Sister
In the three years we've been married, Colin Luther never touches me once.
Living in the room next door is Rebecca Jennings, his adopted younger sister with no blood relation to him. She supposedly suffers from severe androphobia. Whenever she sees any man other than Colin, she trembles uncontrollably.
Whenever she has nightmares in the middle of the night, Colin immediately leaves me and rushes to her room.
So, the master bedroom is given to her. I sleep on a folding bed in the study, and Colin sleeps on the floor outside her door to stand guard.
Every week, my mother-in-law, Alicia Brooks, comes by with the soup she made herself. The first thing she does is go into Rebecca's room. Only after that does she spare me a glance.
She says, "Nat, remember to hand-wash Becca's underwear. Her skin is sensitive, so it can't go in the washing machine."
My father-in-law, Isaac Luther, is even worse.
At our last family gathering, he slaps his thigh in front of their relatives and says, "If Becca weren't sick, I'd want her to be my daughter-in-law!"
I simply smile while serving the dishes and say nothing.
For three years, I endure everything in silence.
But yesterday, I find two items hidden beneath Rebecca's pillow. There is the silk camisole that went missing six months ago and a pack of birth control pills with only two tablets left.
Androphobia?
Well, today is our third wedding anniversary. It's time for a proper celebration.
