EPISODE FIFTY THREE."You don't have to abort the babies just to win his heart. He will surely come around. He's my son,I've known him for years,this is just him feeling angry and betrayed. And I'm sorry you have to go through all these just because of what our family went through in the past."Stefano's Mom coaxed softly as I was in her arms."It's okay. It was my fault. I should have used birth control pills from the start. Our wedding will be a year next week and here we are fighting because of a baby."I mumbled,fighting back the tears lacing my ears.I went to her house after Stefano left as I was confused on what to do.If I abort the baby,he will surely hate me forever but what am I supposed to do?"I'm sorry,darling."She hugged me again, sniffing my hair admiringly.Meghan came back from the gym later with some treats for me which I ate. After that,I had a long sleep and didn't wake up until it was 8PM. STEFANO.I had a basketball time with Luca before we started the work of th
EPISODE ONEHAZEL"Mom, the dress is good enough, It's just a simple wedding"I protest, already tired of the tantrums."No, You must be in your best dress, You don't know who he is, His taste in women is unbearably high, I hope he's going to be impressed, I just hope"She rambled on and on.I plopped tiredly on the bed praying to the heavens to let this moment pass me by.An unexpected marriage. An unbearable mother who believed the first impression lasts longer. And an unwilling bride who is about to get married.Life is just so amusing.She dragged me up the bed lecturing me on how to be a good wife and a future 'mother' to my kids.We are going to Vietnam to start a new life.I'd quit my school because of the marriage. Everything was at my expense which I believed it's all shades of wrong."I promise to be in my best character, I promise, we can stop now!"I fired back at her in a firm tone.She stopped talking immediately.After fixing the sixth dress on me, She was finally satisfie
EPISODE TWO"You don't have to be so sad,What he said about your weight,He didn't actually mean it"The guy who seems closest to him apologized in his stead.I scoffed at the 'joke' he made.Who wouldn't feel bad when your partner is making jokes about your body already."What he said is right,He can't lift me,I don't think he can""What's your weight?"He asked in a more interesting manner.Okay. I think he's actually nice. Or maybe he's not nice but trying to gain my favor since I'm his boss' wife."I think around 85kg"I huffed."It's not that bad"He shrugged. He didn't seem to be disappointed by it which made me feel better."What's your name?"I asked, knowing well that he would know my name so there's no need to repeat it."I'm Luca, Stefano's friend and personal buddy""How's he?Generally?"I asked curiously. He's surprised that I'm actually asking him such a question but curiosity is eating me up."He's a bad person,Don't believe in him,You will be disappointed""Are you badmouthin
EPISODE THREEI almost choked on the undigested food in my throat the moment he dropped those words.It's so embarrassing."I'm sorry,I thought you were with your earphones""Even if I was,That doesn't mean you should belch so loudly like an uncouth person."He huffed in anger."I'm sorry,I should have been more disciplined"I apologized again.He plugged his earphones back and thankfully,Luca and the hotel attendant weren't with us which saved me from embarrassment.Luca came back with his food and sat beside me.He turned to me but noticed the sullen look."What happened?Are you not full yet?""N..No"I stuttered nervously."I'm okay""Are you sure?"He asked again,I nodded solemnly before turning to the other direction."It's boring watching the world from here,Get some sleep,It's going to be a long ride""Oh,I don't sleep during flights"I've never been in an Aeroplane before not to talk of a private jet but I don't sleep during long journeys.It was the reverse here actually,I didn't
EPISODE FOURHAZELAfter he left,I threw the tissue paper inside the trash can beside the gate.I made sure my eyes weren't wet any longer before pressing the doorbell.After a while,A man opened the gate and stared at me from head to toe before facing me again.What's that for?"Good evening,I'm here to see Stefano's Mom""And you are?"He asked in a hard tone,I pressed my lips together.Why is he not welcoming at all?"I..I'm his wife,He dropped me here a few minutes ago"I stuttered.Shit. I can't believe I introduced myself as his wife.His facial expression softened immediately,He moved back a little and opened the door wider for me."I'm sorry,you can enter"I entered the compound nervously. It felt as if I'm in an unfamiliar area.The designs,the flowers in the garden,Some rose flowers imprinted on the walls.The exterior of the mansion is it, Beautiful and special.A middle aged woman dressed in an expensive slim gown walked towards me,She was putting on little or no make up and
EPISODE FIVE"Mum,I'm so sorry,I shouldn't have...""Christ. Stop blaming yourself for what you didn't cause,He will calm down sooner or later."She smiled softly at me.I walked to the smashed picture and knelt beside it.I tried using my hands to pack it but she grabbed them immediately."You will ruin your pretty hands,The maids will do it for me,Just leave it and go."She scolded."I'm sorry,I just..""Go now before he gets mad,No one can survive Stefano's anger.""Oh,I will leave now"I bowed respectfully before walking out of the house.The rain was heavier than I thought.Stefano was already in the car which is a little bit far from the entrance.I catch cold easily when I walk under the rain but I have no choice.After taking a short prayer,I ran into the heavy rain.The rain drenched me before I got into the car. The driver opened the door from the inside for me,I entered the car almost bumping my head On Stefano's chest who was just getting up to adjust his seat."I'm sorry"No
EPISODE SIXHAZELMy heart almost left my chest the moment he was taking off his shirt,I thought we were having sex.But how will you be having sex with someone you're not in love with?I hope he won't continue his wayward lifestyle now that we are married.And if he continues,Who am I to argue with him?"Go to your room"He described the room to me which made me wonder if we won't be using the same room."Are we not using the same room?"I blurted.The word really slipped out of my mouth.Geez,I wished I could control my intrusive thoughts sometimes.He turned to me sharply in amusement and walked closer to me."In the same room?As we are what?""I'm sorry,I shouldn't have asked,"I said briefly and dragged my bag slowly behind me.I could feel his eyes on me as I walked to the stairs.Thank God he didn't try picking up an argument again.He was really pissed off when he's with his mom and I don't blame him.He's just mad and angry because of the whole arrangement.I got to the room and
EPISODE SEVENI wished I didn't set the alarm. It rang so loudly that I switched off in anger with my head still buried in the sheets.I feel like sleeping more.I sighed tiredly before getting up on the bed,I washed my face with the cleanser in the bathroom.This is my first morning as a married woman which seems kind of weird to me.I hope Stefano won't reject the meals I make,I hope he won't reject his favorite coffee because his Mom told him he only drinks her coffee.I hope...Stupid.I think I'm getting worried about this whole thing.I should just do what I want to do without trying to impress him.I wore a baggy jogger top on my because it was still cold as hell.After making sure I tied my hair properly,I walked out of the room but my eyes caught something on the wall.The heater is turned on.Huh. Who turned it on?I thought it was switched off yesterday?Or..Nah,I probably thought it was off.I located the kitchen easily. It is very spacious.Almost the size of our house
