Betrothed to My Sister's Husband Chapter - [ 41 ]
[ Rain ]"Rain, stop!" I hear Nicholas's pleading voice from behind as I was about to climb the stairs. I don't turn back as his face may force me to retreat from my decision of maintaining space between us until we sort out our differences."I am tired, Nick. Can we talk later?" I try to avoid having a conversation with him."No, we have to talk right now, Rain. I know you're only trying to distance yourself away from me and it kills me everytime with guilt of hurting you unintentionally. Please, for once listen to me. I promise I won't take much of your time." He pleads again.I am not a heartless person and definitely can't let my pride cloud my sensibile judgment.I slowly turn and come face to face with Nicholas whose dull face lit up instantly."Can we talk before we head to my parents' home?" He tucks on my wrist gently."In the porche?" I ask as I badly need some fresh air."No problem but I prefer the pool area." He says."Okay, then let's talk there." I gesture him to lead o

[ Rain ]"I can't tell you how much I missed you both but you didn't come to meet us the day you returned from your shortened honeymoon." Maa complained looking at I and Nicholas whose attention is fixed on his plate whereas Papa is giving us an indecipherable look which grows my anxiety even more.What if they smell the tension between us."Sorry, Maa. We're sincerely sorry for not visiting you earlier. Actually I caught viral fever and cold. So, the doctors advised me to live in quarantine so the other won't catch the virus. Nicholas was aiding me, that's why he also stayed indoors." I lied through my teeth and felt guilty.Nicholas's eyes snapped at me. Obviously he didn't expect me to cover up for him."Oh My God! You were sick and you are telling us this now?" Maa's face welcomed the look of panic."See, that's why we didn't tell you. We knew that you will be worried and come to visit us. We didn't want you or Papa to fall sick. I suffered for a week but for the last two or thre

Please don't beat me at the end of the chapter. 😁[ Nicholas ]"Oh no, it has to start now." I groan looking out through the windows as the rainfall took more fierce shape. It's raining like cats and dogs accompanied by loud thunderstorms."Nick, let's stay here for tonight." I hear Rain's faint voice."No, Rain, I have to prepare for tomorrow's meeting and the files are in my study room." I tell her and it's true."The meeting can be rescheduled for tomorrow." Mom reasons."No chance, Mom. You know me and my working style." I roll my eyes."Nick, I think you should stay here for tonight. The rain doesn't seem to stop anytime soon and it's already ten." Dad says and as much as I want to run from my parents' suspicious eyes, I think he's right.It would be a suicide trip if I even think of leaving in such weather."I'll ask the maids to change sheets and blankets in your room." Mom says and leaves to prepare my old room even before getting a response from me.I look up at Rain whose

[ Rain ]I don't remember when the last time I felt my heart hammering at this pace. I can't figure it out but the void is there, constantly sinking my heart in it's depth as I stare at Nicholas laying on the hospital bed. His face turned pale and lips blue yet he manages to look handsome as ever.My heart squeezes seeing him in such condition and partially I blame my parents for it and mostly his parents.The conversation I had with his father keeps playing in my mind on repeated mode. The whole reason behind our last minute marriage was planned out.The letter, Roselie running away and my parents to beg me and I agreeing on marrying Nicholas. It was all pre-planned by Nathan Blackwood. If he really wanted me as his son's wife then why all such lies and drama? He could had arranged it between us."Ma'am, please take some rest. You haven't blink your eyes since the last night. I'd inform you if Mr. Black wakes up in your absence." The soft voice of the nurse who is assigned to monitor

[ Nicholas ]I tried to open my eyes but as soon as I half open them, I squeezed them shut as the bright light hit my sensitive pupils. A throbbing headache and stiff body muscles were killing me."Ahh.."I groaned as I tried to move my hands."Nick, Oh My God! You're awake." I hear Nicole's voice which makes me open my eyes after a lot of efforts.I spot Nicole, my parents and my friends circled around my bed with worried expressions."Relax guys, I am not dead." I rolled my eyes. They are treating me like I've gone through a brain surgery."Nick, my baby. How are you feeling now?" Mom caresses my head as her eyes give up. Her red eyes are clearly evident that she has cried a lot."Like a complete shit." I answer honestly and avoid my best to ignore my father's presence behind her. She smiles faintly and kisses my forehead.He is worried sick for me but he's the one to be blamed for everything that happens last night or with my life."You scared us, Nick." Mason hits my shoulder."Eas

[ Rain ]I give up on my hope to see my husband as Nicole strictly ordered the guards to not let me go inside. I feel completely helpless. His parents consoled me before leaving. They also feel ashamed of their deeds. They should be but why am I being punished? Does he really think that I am also involved in this sham?I have no right on my own husband.Am I really married?All these thoughts created a mess inside my head. I can't see my future in the mist of deception and uncertainties."Rain."Xavier's soft voice snaps me out of my trance. I spring up from the chair and rush to him and Mason who just walked out of Nick's ward."How is he?" I ask him the same question I asked his parents.Instead of answering my question, Xavier pulls me into a hug and rested his chin on the top of my head."He is fine, probably gets discharged by tomorrow." He tells me. Nothing new."I mean how is he dealing with the-"I pause not having the courage to remember the bitter truth of our marriage."He

[ Rain ]"Nicholas."I can only whisper his name as my emotions become a whirlwind. I see his handsome face getting blurry as my eyes welcome fresh set of tears."Rain."My name comes out his mouth like the music from the bard of heaven. It pulled every single string in my heart and reached my soul.I feel his thumbs wiping my tears and I let myself lean into his touch. For several moments, none of us say a word and only feel other other through the medium of silence."How are you feeling?" I decide to break the silence by asking about his health.He retreats his hand from my cheek. I feel sudden coldness overtaking the warmth his touch provided."I want to get out of here. This hospital smell, it's more sickening." He says with a disgusted look on his face.A smile stretches on my lips,"I can hardly smell anything here, Mr. Blackwood. So, stop making excuses. You have to stay here until the doctors give you permission to go back home." I say."I am just sick not wounded and I can als
Betrothed to My Sister's Husband Chapter - [ 48 ]
[ Nicholas ]I feel guilty after Rain left. I can't erase the image of teary face. I hurt her for sure but she has to understand from where I am coming. It's not easy for me to trust people now, at least the closest one around me.She has feelings for me and it's not unknown to me but what I feel for her is beyond the vocal description. It's more than mere infatuation, perhaps the first stage of falling in love but again the bitter truth eclipses the feelings. Our marriage has been a play directed by my parents, including hers.How can I decipher my love for Roselie after knowing that she was mostly innocent in this charade. In fact, a victim just like Rain and I.The creaking of the door brings my thoughts to an abrupt halt. I raised my head to look at the intruder and a smile automatically appears on my lips as I see my only source of happiness rushing towards me."Uncle Nick." Breece climbs up on my bed and throws her tiny arms around my neck. I wrap my hands around her small fram
