Chapter 8 - Wedding Night PART ONE: forgotten duty.Elaine's POVWe had been dancing for however long we had been looking into each other's eyes when suddenly there was a loud applause that stopped whatever had been happening to us. Which was the sign that the song had just ended.I was still holding Duke's body when I realized what had just happened, which surprised me. I quickly moved away from him in fear as if what had just happened had never occurred.What the hell just happened?Duke followed suit and moved away from me as soon as I did. I was still unsure of what had happened while they were dancing back there when I saw my mother-in-law walking towards us with my father-in-law by her side.Mother-in-law said, "Wow that dance is so beautiful dear!," gazing at both of them with tears in her eyes.Father-in-law said in a proud voice, "It's a sign from above you are destined together and our ancestors accept you in our family dear."It's so strange to me that I can no longer under
Chapter 9 - Wedding Night PART 2 : Not a virgin Elaine's POVI felt a little uneasy during the 30-second period of silence because he was neither speaking nor responding to what I had just said aloud.I suppose I'm a little disappointed in his response because in some of the movies I've seen, when a husband discovers that his wife is no longer virgin, he becomes furious and divorces me right away." Hey, did you hear me?! I said I am no longer a virgin and had a one night stand with a stranger before this marriage!" I spoke up again, growing impatient with the room's long silence.That's why I said that—to enrage him and obtain the divorce papers. I'm hoping that it will work because it will help me solve all of my problems.Did he not hear what I said to him??Following a wait of thirty seconds, I heard him laughing in front of me, which surprised me and caused me to look at his face. I hadn't anticipated seeing Duke Hayes proudly wearing a smug expression.Duke Hayes continued to st
Chapter 10 - WEDDING NIGHT PART 3 - First name bases.Elaine's POVI realized he kissed me on the lips after 30 seconds of having both of our lips together. I was so surprised that I pushed him away and slapped him across the face."How dare you kiss me, jerk!" I yelled angrily at him.Duke just touched the cheeks where I slapped him without showing any pain in his expression. "Don't be too exaggerating Elaine, it's not like I've committed a heinous crime by kissing my own wife's lips," he reasoned."Not if it's by force, then it's a crime, you jerk!" I retorted.He chuckled at what I said, "no, it's not when I'm proving to my dear wife that we're close enough to call each other first names because we're a married couple," he reasoned again."And because we're already married, we need to be affectionate with each other by calling each other's name," he added.What kind of illogical reasoning is that?! I strongly disagree and do not understand how he is thinking in his head."It is not
Chapter 11 - WEDDING NIGHT PART 4 - IN ONE BEDDuke's POVToday, I could tell this woman despised being married to me. I understand her sentiment and simply enjoy teasing her with every idea that comes to mind.She glared at me when she finally surrendered and believed that she can't escape sleeping Together with me in one bed."Even though we're sleeping on the same bed, NO TOUCHING!" she warned, emphasizing the word to me more. Immediately turned her back at me to walk towards the bed.To tease her, I raised an eyebrow and pretended to give her body a boring look. "Elaine, how could you have such a low opinion of me, I don't force any woman to sleep with me, and you are not my type to be honest," I replied back, but I was only lying.Well, her body is my type, and I'm doing my best not to touch her insanely because I don't want her to be scared of me. I couldn't help but be cold and tease her.Immediately, her face turns red with rage, and she looks at me again, her vivid cerulean
Chapter 12 - WEDDING NIGHT PART 5 - Dirty thoughts be goneElaine's POVI immediately turned on the cold shower after giving that Bastard one last warning not to peek while I was inside the bathroom. I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart and my body, which was still reeling from the words Bastard had described, which had caused my body to become so unstable.Fuck, I didn't expect my body to spin out of control as I listened to that jerk talk about how he was going to touch my body. It made my body tremble with desire, as if it remembered how I was touched on the night we made love and I didn't even remember what happened.The cold shower isn't helping to calm my body, which is still feeling hot all over the place, as he described in his deep vulgar tone, and his eyes continue to roam my body. It's as if he's kissing every place he looks with his eyes. While anticipating and whimpering silently, I did my best not to let him see or hear my moaning." ARGH! Elaine Cai, just stop t
Chapter 13 -WEDDING NIGHT PART 6 - bathroom accident.Elaine's POVI immediately put my two hands on Duke's face to prevent him from seeing my naked body in front of him. Which surprises Duke because of what I had done all of sudden." What are you doing?!" He asked me in a confused voice."I'm just playing peek-a-boo with you," I said sarcastically, "like duh clearly I'm covering your face!" and shouted at him for being foolish."But why are you covering up my face?" he questioned again, perplexed by my actions.I don't want to tell him because it's so embarrassing, but the reason I was covering his face with both of my hands was because I was completely naked in front of him."Hey Elaine, you got quite in there, have you turned stone on top because your body is becoming heavier?" he questioned again, teasingly.I cannot believe he just assumes that my body is so heavy when I am not that fat! That's not fair.He tried to reposition his body as Duke abruptly grabbed my waist and yan
Chapter 14 - sprained right legELAINE'S POVIt was early dawn when I opened my eyes, and I could hear birds singing outside our room. I carefully pushed myself out of bed. As my mind is still not fully awake, I gaze about the room.While I continued to look at the empty space, the door unexpectedly opened, surprising me, and I glanced to see who had entered. It was none other than Duke Hayes who arrived with a platter of food."Good morning Elaine, you're already awake, I brought you your breakfast for this morning," he said as he moved towards the bed with a tray in his hand.As he approached, I could smell the delectable scent of the food in the air as he brought it towards me, making my empty stomach growl like a beast that hasn't fed in days." Here you go, Elaine, enjoy your breakfast," he remarked as he approached the bed I was still seated on.He quickly placed the tray near my bed, and I looked at the food with desire in my eyes. The meal in the tray included crispy bread, f
Chapter 15 - princess carryElaine's POV After Duke had left the room, a hotel staff employee arrived to our room to assist me in bathing and dressing, as Duke had stated before leaving our room.When I finished changing my clothing, the hotel employee had also left our room, leaving me alone inside."That man is worried for nothing," I thought to myself as I tried to move my right leg, but the tremendous pain struck quickly, causing me to groan in agony.Well, it's a little painful, I confess, since I've given up on moving my right leg, and it's all cockroach's fault; if he hadn't attacked me in the bathroom, I wouldn't be in this condition! As I cursed the insect to hell, I muttered.I heard the door open and turned to see who had entered. "Are you ready?" Duke questioned as he moved towards the bed.I nodded in response to his question, but I was confused. "Where is the Wheelchair? I need something to ride on," I said.He simply smiled as if I were joking with my question, "no need
