Dispute Marriage: No Terms and Conditions Chapter 41 : Suppressed Wrath
Chrisanna I don't know whether I should be freaked out at the way Samuel snapped or be stunned at the words he used. It's too much to process. I was definitely not expecting such a huge shock. Uncle Kane isn't Samuel's father? Did I mishear? It better not be true. Unless it is. "I want a damn answer", his voice is calm but clipped, a clear indication that he is seething with anger. The shock on Emmy and Uncle Kane's faces is palpable as their eyes dart back and forth in search of words.However, right now, I'm more focused on Samuel, knowing it'll only get worse. His body language, his reddening eyes and his stiff body say it all. Emmy and Uncle Kane might not have any idea of his issues. "Samuel", a whisper barely escapes my lips as I slip my arm around his torso to pull him backwards. "You're not feeling well. Come with me. Please"I try to keep my voice as low as possible so no one can hear me except him but it seems like he paid no attention to what I'm saying. Nonetheless, de
Dispute Marriage: No Terms and Conditions Chapter 42 : I hate you!
Chrisanna "I left you because you left me without even walking away. It's just that when I left, it was visible. But when you left me, only I could see it"The sound of his voice echoes inside my head, each syllable striking my heart like a physical blow. My mind can't help replaying his words in a loop and each time those words vibrate inside of my head, I feel nothing but sheer ache. I walk into the manor again after spending more than an hour outside. The ballroom is empty and Kylee is eating her breakfast alone at the dining table. She eyes me once before immediately looking down to stuff her mouth with food. I walk straight up to the room. The door is locked. My hands feel weak as I tap on the door. "Samuel!" I wonder if my voice reaches him. He doesn't respond. I tap a bit harder."Samuel", my voice comes off a bit louder this time. And I'm sure he can hear me. "Open the door"The sound of my laboured breathing trips over the door as I press my forehead against it."Pleas
Dispute Marriage: No Terms and Conditions Chapter 43 : A day away
Samuel It's been a while since the sun rose. I never stayed in the room that long in the morning. Leaning against the closet, I drift my eyes away from the ceiling to the bed, only to find it empty. It reminds me she's not here. She hasn't been here the whole day and the night yesterday. In fact, she's not even home. As the reality of the situation sets in, I feel a knot form in my stomach. I didn't expect her to leave like that. Last night, when I had a grip on my situation, I realised how nasty things had become. And I said things I had sworn not to utter ever again. I walked out of my room and looked for Chrisanna in every single corner of the house. She was gone. I was in utter panic for a second until I got to know she went to her apartment and she's safe. Kylee came to me with a poker face to tell me not to worry. Mom had a chat with Aunt Ivanna and she sent Uncle Colton to check on her apartment. He found her asleep and fine. I would definitely call her or text her if I h
Dispute Marriage: No Terms and Conditions Chapter 44 : The Stalker
Chrisanna The whole day has been really stressful yet I had fun working with a team. Nichole joined B. Corp and it made things easy for me. I thought everyone hated me but there were only a few who were too jealous for no reason. I got along with a few people too. "It's just that Scarlett has a huge crush on Mr Vance", Kenya says, laughing as we leave the conference room after the meeting ended.Oh, bitch! I knew it."She thought she would be his favourite employee but you didn't have to make an effort to be one", Gizelle adds. "So, she was just freaking out and hating on you"I try to keep my calm with my lips pressed. Cooper is giggling in a low tone. I throw him an eye roll. "It's not like I'm his favourite", I shrug. "We don't mean in a bad way", Kenya says. "Why do all the women employees develop a crush on bosses", Henrick shrugs. "I mean they have colleagues too. Good look, what say, Cooper?""I have a girlfriend. So, I don't care", Cooper shrugs, making all laugh."I regr
Dispute Marriage: No Terms and Conditions Chapter 45 : Never let you down
Samuel As I trudge into the room, exhaustion etches onto every line of my body. The day had been long and gruelling. My eyes land on Zoey sitting at Chrisanna's side of the bed with displeasure on her face. She lets out a small meow at me. I hate it when cats or other pets are on my bed. But I don't feel any kind of frustration at this moment. I walk to the bed and slump on my side, tilting my head at her."You miss her?" I ask, knowing she can't understand a thing. However, she lets out a painful meow.Is that a yes? Maybe, I don't know the cat language. Chrisanna is good at it.I look down at the concrete floor, sighing. "I miss her too", I mutter. "More than I ever missed her. It was easy back then. Now, it feels like hell"Zoey meows again as if she's saying, "I got it, man!""She's mad at me. Wasn't it supposed to be me? I mean— I have a right to get mad at her once—" I halt. "Well, I have always been mad at her. But this is the husband-wife kind of"She again responds. I can
Dispute Marriage: No Terms and Conditions Chapter 46 : A conversation
Samuel Chrisanna is in the ICU. She has severe head injuries and lost too much blood. She might have gotten a fracture on her leg too. At this point, her condition is serious. I'm standing against the wall facing the door of the ICU, my eyes fixed on the door but I can't see her through the small window due to the doctors surrounding her. The urge to barge inside there and watch her is killing me inside. I know how much she hates hospitals. She's anxious around doctors and obviously hospital beds due to her worst experience when she was a kid. I still remember how nervous she was when she broke her arm in school and cried until I went to her while the doctors were preparing the plasters. She kept squeezing my hand while sweating and warned me not to leave. I wish I could do that today. My shoulders feel stiff and tense as my hands tightly clench at my sides when anxiety overwhelms me. Every time a doctor or a nurse comes out of there, my heart skips and I rush for any single ne
Dispute Marriage: No Terms and Conditions Chapter 47 : Confession
Samuel The atmosphere is contained in comparison to how it was a couple of hours ago. My eyes avert straight to the ICU and the door is still closed."Samuel!" Mom ejaculates, walking up to me. "Where have you been?" She holds my arms. "I'm sorry I couldn't check on you. You're doing okay?""I was around. I'm— okay", I say."Well", she smiles with her eyes flickering in joy. "The doctors said Chrisanna's condition is under control. They don't know when she'll regain consciousness but she's out of danger"A wave of relief washes over me with mixed emotions flooding my mind. Nonetheless, it matters the most that she's out of danger. I feel myself smiling in disbelief, looking down. When I look up at Mom again, Uncle Scott comes forward with a mild smile. But I feel my smile fading away. It feels like a disappointment and I part my lips, looking for words to apologise but before I could say anything, he took me into a heartfelt embrace, patting my back. I remain silent, sensing the si
Dispute Marriage: No Terms and Conditions Chapter 48 : The silence
Samuel My eyes struggle to believe what I see— she's lying motionless and heavily bandaged on the hospital bed. She looks so vulnerable and fragile, and the severity of her injuries is evident in the numerous tubes and wires snaking around her arms. Even though she's out of danger, I don't think I wanna see her in this condition. It's been a while since I'm here, just staring at her and watching her breathe. She has movements— those muscle spasms as her eyelids quiver and her fingers move. It means nothing, but deep down it makes me feel better that she still doesn't feel the pain, does she?I badly wanna know. "Hey, firefly!" I lean closer to her face. "I'm not sure if you would want me this close to you and even if you don't want that, you can't ask me to leave"I pause for a while, wondering if I should continue. I inhale deeply. "I just wanna know if you feel the pain when you're not here mentally. Do you feel the ache when you're in another realm? If you don't, I will not ask
