Looking at my empty inbox, my mind couldn’t help but race back to last Valentine's Day. It still seemed like it was just yesterday when Noah and I held each other’s hand, dreamed of spending a lifetime together and promised to take on the world.
The last Valentine's was different. I was neither blue nor hopeless. I didn’t hate Noah. He also loved me. Our hearts used to beat at the same rhythm. While his lips adorned my face with kisses, my joys were a consequence of his words.
It surely was the happiest time of my life. Life didn’t seem as heavy. The daily challenges weren’t as threatening. It wasn’t hard to wake up the next day, because I knew he would be there to hold me if I were to fall.
Now, there was a huge cavity in my chest. It continued to grow bigger with every passing day, reminding me of what I had lost. I kept thinking about how I would never be able to relive those moments again in which I had somebody to tend to my every need.
“What’s up with me? Why am I thinking about the past?” I questioned myself, recognizing how it wasn’t the most fruitful thing to do.
Even though I knew the answer to what I had asked, I didn’t want to say it out loud. I didn’t want to admit that I was still very much in love with Noah, and how it still hurt to see him with my older sister. The acceptance of such a feeling was assured to wreak havoc in my mind. Having grown devastated, I decided not to think about it anymore.
Consequently, I advanced towards the bathroom to take my bath. Before I could get rid of my clothes, my phone began buzzing loudly. Alerted, I rushed towards it to find out that it was Noah who was calling me.
“What could he want so early in the morning?” I muttered, looking worriedly at the phone’s glowing screen.
Since there was no other way to find out the purpose behind the video call, I had to answer it. It was then that I saw him sitting in his bed, dressed in his formals. One could easily tell that he was prepared to leave for the office.
“You should be in the office by now, shouldn't you?” I asked, trying to get him to communicate his purpose behind the call.
It was as if my words were a breeze. They didn’t affect him. Instead of responding, he commanded, “Get rid of your clothes and touch yourself!”
“W-What?” I asked with visible panic on my face. “Are you being serious right now?”
“I do not have time to waste on you,” spoke the man again, loosening his tie.
“Why do you think I would do that?” I asked, dumbfounded.
“Haven’t we already decided that you’ll follow my every instruction? Why must you protest against it?” questioned Noah, displeased with the refusal.
“I can’t do that,” I said, conscious of the fact that he belonged to someone else. “You are married.”
“Should I then call your mother and send her a screenshot of our private chats from the day of my wedding?” questioned the manipulative man.
Without putting on much of a fight, I placed my phone on the dressing table, lifted my t-shirt and then removed it. Lusting over my body, he demanded me to get rid of my shorts as well. Not having much of a choice, I removed my bottom as well and stood before him in my lingerie alone.
“You have such a beautiful body,” blurted out the man unintentionally, overtaken by his desires. “Now, get rid of the rest of your clothes.”
Hesitatingly, I unclasped my bra, pulled down my panties and stood completely bare before him. Satisfied to see me with no clothes, he further demanded that I touch myself. Even though I wasn’t comfortable with it, I complied for the sake of keeping my secrets buried in his chest.
I took my phone, placed it vertically on my bed and lay down before it to perform what had been asked of me. Slowly but passionately, I touched and pinched the centre of my left breast while simultaneously sliding my right hand from my waist to the middle of my thighs.
“Little lady, insert those fingers into your wet haven and make a mess in front of the camera!” instructed the man, unzipping his pants and taking hold of his manhood.
By continuing to pinch and rub my breasts, I inserted my fingers in my honeypot, letting out deep moans in the process. Turned on by my performance, he began stroking his manhood as well. Since I imagined being kissed and loved by him, it didn’t take me long to finish.
He, too, made a mess and let out powerful groans before ending the video call, something that ensured me that I had solely been used for satisfying his lust. Regretting everything, I burst out in tears, wishing to get swallowed by the earth or struck by the lightning.
“Why do I always end up in more trouble every time I get entangled with him?” I questioned myself, brimming with sorrow.
Before I could put my thoughts to rest, I received a text from my sister in which she requested to see me. Since I knew I was a bitch for sleeping with my sister’s husband, I couldn’t muster the courage to respond to her. I simply sobbed before dragging myself into the bathroom, regretting every single thing that I had done since my sister's wedding.
Not only had I fucked my brother-in-law, but I also had been cultivating feelings for him, something that wasn't my right. I, therefore, felt it was now impossible for me to talk to my sister ever again.

Perhaps I would’ve been in less pain if I were to have confessed to my sister about everything. Even though I kept reconsidering it repeatedly, I couldn’t find the courage to put my thoughts into action. I wasn’t ready to face the heartbreak and scrutiny that would follow the revelation.Having realized how I was the other woman in my sister's marriage, I was anything but keen on having my breakfast. Keeping, thus, my head down, I appeared unmotivated as I walked out of my room and descended the stairs to reach the dining hall. There, I found my parents having their breakfast with the very person I’d kill to avoid, my older sister. She jumped out of her chair to see me and spread her arms while approaching me.My heart wreaked havoc in my chest, because of my conscience. I knew I had done an injustice to her by sleeping with her husband. The guilt, therefore, made it excruciating to accept her tender embrace. Nonetheless, I did it to avoid raising any suspicions.As soon as we separate
It wasn’t difficult to understand why both Seth and my sister wanted to be included so much. They were both concerned about me, something that I didn’t even deserve. That’s why it only worsened my opinion of myself whenever they expressed their desire to help me.“I think I do include you in my matters significantly enough, don’t I?” I argued, only to have Seth place his hand over my hand.Struggling to put his faith in what I had said, he asked me, “Why won’t you talk to me about the day of your sister’s wedding then?”“It’s not something I’m comfortable sharing,” I answered, feeling a little hassled at being asked about the same damn thing again.Besides that, I strongly felt that I could be making a mistake by offering Seth the details of that unfortunate day. He might blame me for everything and stop talking to me. Since he had always warned me about dating Noah, he mightn’t feel any sympathy for me upon learning what I had done, intentionally or unintentionally.“It’s not that,” c
“Where did Noah get these pictures of me hugging Seth?” I wondered, speculating if Noah had paid somebody to spy on me. “Is it possible that I am still being followed behind by that person?”Cautious of being caught in another strange exchange with Seth, I shook his hand before bidding him goodbye. Since I felt that I could’ve been getting trailed by somebody, I didn’t want to give them more opportunities to tarnish my relationship with my best friend in front of Noah.“Is everything alright? Why do you seem to be in a hurry to get rid of me?” asked a confused Seth, unwilling to let go of my hand.Forcing a smile on my face, I lied, “It’s nothing. Since it’s really warm outside, I want to hurry inside the campus.”“Your first class is about to start in five minutes, so that would be the most ideal thing to do,” responded Seth with a smile, being gentle as usual.After that, we went in opposite directions. I exerted a breath of relief, hoping the person who had been spying on me wouldn’
There was no answer. How can there be one? His unwillingness to speak assured me that he knew that he was in the wrong for expecting me to carry his child. Nonetheless, he didn’t let go. He was still holding on to my shoulders.“Why did you marry my older sister if you had no intentions of planning a family with her?” I asked, trying to guilt-trip him into considering my sister.“I didn’t propose it. It was your parents who had been pursuing me to consider your sister as a potential partner since the day I got acquainted with your family. I merely relented,” answered the man, pinpointing the blame on my family for his marriage to my sister.Although I knew I wouldn’t be able to get my point across to him, I couldn’t stop myself from crying out, “If that was the case, why did you agree to it? Did you think about the fact that you were dating me before accepting the proposal from my family to marry my sister?”“I did consider us for years until you cheated on me,” declared Noah, shifting
I would’ve most definitely lied if I would’ve said I was prepared to succumb. Even when there seemed no visible escape, I still wanted to escape him. The pain of regret is way sharper than the joy of receiving caresses and comforts. What I had done at my sister’s wedding made it cumbersome to retire in Noah’s arms.“What do you think would happen even if you were to resist me today?” asked Noah, unwilling to recognize that he was in the wrong. “It still wouldn’t change the fact that you had sex with me on the day of your sister’s wedding.”“It would stop me from making the same mistakes again,” I said, adamant about wanting to be left alone. “If you don’t leave this bed soon, I will start screaming.”“Do whatever you like,” challenged Noah, displeased with my behaviour. “It’s an abandoned town on the outskirts of Stanford. There’s nobody here to heed to your distressful shrieks.”Since I didn’t think it was the smartest idea to rely on Noah’s words, I began screaming for my life, only
Having been instructed by the doctor to rest the entire day, I lay on the bed, hoping for a miracle to get me out of that mansion. It was a wish made in vain. I knew really well that nobody was going to help me with escaping my circumstances.Defeated, I shut my eyes. It was then that I recalled my very first and sweet encounter with Noah. I wasn’t sure why my mind raced back to that moment. Maybe it was because I wanted to think about the man I once loved. I wanted to assure myself that Noah wasn’t as vicious as he was trying to be. There was still some good left in him.Within Noah, there must be some part that resembled him from the past. The part that must’ve protested when he had hurt me the previous night. The sweetness of the relationship that we had shared previously couldn’t have been so easily poisoned by his newly generated hatred.The very first time I saw him was during middle school. He usually used to keep to himself, but interacted with others once in a while. That was
On my eighteenth birthday, I not only got broken up with but also learned of my ex-boyfriend’s plans to marry my older sister. Keen to find out the truth, I went to the man responsible for my aching heart and confronted him about the news.“What do you think you’re doing, Noah?” I cried out, failing to handle the emotional turmoil that stirred within me.Rising from his chair, he opened up his arms as he walked towards me to embrace me, “How are you doing, sister-in-law?”“Don’t you think you’re going too far, Noah?” I asked, hyperventilating. “What did I do to deserve this betrayal?”“Betrayal? Are you sure you’re the victim here?” questioned Noah, lacking empathy, something I didn’t know he was capable of. “Who do you think should be blamed here for everything?”“What do you mean?” I asked, clenching my fists to contain my anger.Crossing his arms, he asked me, “Where were you the night before? Or, perhaps, should I ask who you spent your last night with?”“I was in my sister’s apar
The sun illuminated the entire garden as the love of my life, Noah, stood nervously at the altar. His eyes reflected a sense of excitement and apprehension, a whirlwind of emotions became too evident in them. Adjusting his neck-tie, he stole glances at the aisle. The petals of the daisies lined its path.Shortly, my sister, Anna, adorned in a mesmerizing white gown that flowed like the whispers of the wind, made her way towards the beautiful landscape. Unlike her usual self, she seemed excited and elated to be a part of such an auspicious union.My sister’s smile painted a joyful atmosphere, something that nobody from the audience could dare escape. As she moved towards the altar, her gaze locked with the groom’s. Consequently, time seemed to freeze for the two of them.As Anna made her way towards Noah, memories of moments shared between Noah and me began flooding my mind. Echoes of laughter, late-night conversations and heartfelt kisses reverberated within me. The contradictory emot
