OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 042
Jeff's eyes went straight to his wife as he heard what his mother-in-law had just said. Divorce? What was going on? He thought — Scratch that. They were told divorce wasn't an option. Their marriage had been for life, so what was going on? He could not even bring himself to start thinking about divorce.He decided to give the mother and daughter a private space. He locked eyes with Rhoda before making his way up the stairs into his room feigning deaf to Rhoda's calls.Rhoda faced her mum. "Mum, what are you suddenly talking about? What's all this? You said I should endure everything. You said divorce wasn't an option, so —," she said as she took some steps and entered the living room to sit."I am so sorry, baby. That was what I thought, too. Your father lied to us, Rhoda. He lied," her mother uttered and sat beside her.Rhoda looked confused. "What are you saying? What do you mean he lied?"Her mother wiped her tears. "His business wasn't liquidating, Rhoda. He was not going bankrupt
OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 043
Jeff had never been so disorganized. He felt helpless as he waited in the waiting room for his wife to come out of surgery. The surgery had been so terrible that she injured her head and had to go into the theater. He looked at her phone which had been given to him by the doctor. There were stains of blood on it. He did not realize when a tear fell onto the screen of the phone.He silently prayed that God would heal his wife. He folded his arms and stomped his feet on the floor gently, but anxiously.One after the other, Rhoda's parents and Kelly arrived and sat with him, waiting for the surgery that has been going on for three hours to come to an end."This is all your fault, Fred. This is all your fault. Just know this," Rhoda's mother said and cried. "I should have stopped her from leaving. Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have allowed her to leave," she blamed herself in tears.Jeff said nothing. He could not even bear to say a word to anyone. Not even when her sister got
OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 044
Eleven years ago…Jeffrey laughed hard at the jokes of his friend's discussion about how they approached a random lady on the street and acted as if she was about to get kidnapped. He gulped down a glass of alcohol as he laughed. He was already high from the drugs he had taken with his friends.They were all in his father's house, but of course, his father was not around to see what they were doing. He did not get along with him since he was always about how bad his friends were and how they could lead him astray. He used to talk about how he had changed from how he used to be, from the quiet and easy going boy to a drug addict and a trouble maker. He had bailed him from the police custody a couple of times.But Jeffrey didn't think that was his fault. He admitted that he did change a little after his mother's death from leukemia, but taking drugs relieved his stress and made him forget his sorrows temporarily. That was what his friends introduced to him to cope with the loss of his mo

Francis dragged the red button on his phone to ignore a call from Karen. He shifted on a side on the bed as Kelly walked out of the bathroom in a mini towel barely covering her butt. He watched as she sat in front of the dressing mirror and started applying different lotions onto her skin and face.Women with skin care. "Has Rhoda woken up?" Francis asked. He could have chosen to visit his best friend to cheer him up, but he felt too guilty to do so. He had no idea how he was going to react after seeing him. Not even when Karen was on his tail. "No, babe. The doctor said it might take a week or so. But why haven't you visited Jeff already? It's been two days," Kelly said. He had given him no other reason other than being very busy at work. She was starting to think he didn't want to go, but could not accuse him of that since she had no solid evidence.He pulled himself up and out his feet on the floor, putting on his slippers. He walked towards her and leaned against the wall besid
OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 046
Jeff immediately became perplexed. What was going on? Why would Rhoda ask him who he was? He looked at the doctor, then at Kelly before returning his eyes back on hers."Rhoda… Uhm… Looks at me, babe," he said and sat before her on the bed. "I am your husband. I am Jeff. And that's my sister, Kelly," Jeff explained in the best way he could.Meredith and her husband entered the room. "Mum? Dad?" Rhoda said as she saw her parents."How are you, baby? I am so sorry this happened to you. I really am," Meredith said and hugged her.Jeff could not have been more confused in his life. Why would she act like she didn't know him and then hug her parents? He turned to the doctor. "You had better have a better explanation for this, doctor."The doctor sighed. "I do. But I can't explain that here. Shall we go to my office?" He said, and Jeff made the first move and walked out of the ward while the doctor followed behind.Kelly glanced at Rhoda one more time and felt uneasy about it. She looked so
OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 047
Sharon emerged from her room carefully in hope of getting out of the house before 'her husband' noticed. She needed to go to the ghetto and oversee the situation herself. As she walked past Jeff's room, she carefully watched her steps and walked as quietly as she could.She had gotten to the door and had opened it ajar before she heard footsteps behind her. "Rhoda?" Jeff called and she froze on the spot. She stood upright and turned back to answer. She should have gotten used to being called the name but it was just so annoying that she could not help the hatred that developed in her heart each time. She just needed to get rid of Rhoda quickly and claim what was hers. "Yes? Baby?" She looked unsure at the pet name. She was trying her best to act like someone who lost her memory, but it wasn't easy. But she needed to buy herself some time for the perfect execution of her plan.She must admit that Rhoda had a very handsome husband. He even looked familiar as if they had met before, b
OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 048
Rhoda had met the door slightly opened when she got to Jeff's house. She knew he must have been so worried about her disappearance and would have been looking for her. She smiled, knowing he would be so glad to see her. When she had gotten out of the ghetto, all that was on her mind was not even her injuries, so she made no attempt to go to the hospital. She came to her husband's house instead.Seeing the door opened gave her joy and hope. It was an assurance that he was home. And possibly waiting for her return. She dragged one foot along as she walked to the door. She was able to open the door wider without any sound due to the little strength that she had.She smiled and looked inside, but soon became shocked after seeing Jeffrey in the living room.Rhoda closed her eyes for a moment. They must be seeing things and she needed to correct that on time. She opened them back and saw the same thing she had seen before closing her eyes. She was not seeing things. Her husband was making o
OPEN MARRIAGE Chapter 049
Rhoda stirred awake and found herself in a hospital ward. There was no one else in the ward and it was well furnished. It was obviously not an ordinary hospital ward. She sat up looking all confused. She touched her face and realized that her injuries had been treated. She even had a bandage on her head. She started wondering who brought her in. She removed the IV drip in her hand and placed her feet on the ground. She rose to her feet and walked out of the door.She looked behind her at the door and her eyes widened at the 'VVIP room' sign she saw. Some hospitals can be very funny. Why would there be VVIP wards? VIP was enough. She walked down the hallway and got to the VIP wards section. An old woman, one of the patients that was there rushed to her and held her hands. "I thought you've gone home. How do you feel now? What happened to your face? You didn't have injuries on your face before. Your husband was so worried about you, Rhoda," the patient said. Rhoda had been so confuse
