Chapter 46: Inside a Dark Room
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Carden had been battling between knocking on the door of her room or not. When he drove back to their place, he reminded himself not to say words and just listen carefully. He was blinded by his jealousy towards his brother, and he realized he said a lot of offending words towards her wife, totally cutting her off even before she could explain.
Now, he was standing in front of her door, thinking whether he would knock or not. He badly wants to talk about this before tomorrow comes but he was also afraid to wake her up. More so, he wanted to see how she was doing.He left her crying, and she probably continued when he was gone. He sighed and instead, held the doorknob in an attempt to open the door and was surprised when he realized it wasn't locked!His eyes widened, a glint of hope crossed his eyes when he realized...anyone could enter the room because she didn't lock it. This not could be dangerous for her if he didn't come home.Carden glanced at the woman lyiRelated chapters

"But didn't you say we must share a bed?" he asked and leaned forward, trying to pull the blanket off Dalmi to see her face.He wondered how many phases does his wife has. He thought she'd act all nice earlier but now, she was back at being short-tempered."Carden, let me rest!" Dalmi complained in irritation."No, let me rest!" he chuckled, copying her voice as he once again, lifted the white fabric. "Or do you want me to go back to my friend and sleep there instead?"When Dalmi heard about that friend, she hurriedly removed the cover from her face and glared at him. "Are you going to use that card every time I'm going to refuse?" she frowned.She didn't like the idea of him, using her jealousy to taunt her."No," he jokingly answered and moved closer to tuck her hair behind her ear."I'm just kidding, I wanted to see you," he said and smiled at her.Dalmi felt a squeezing pain in her heart, wondering how long it has been ever since she saw t

The calm, morning breeze from their veranda woke up Dalmi from her deep slumber. The mesh curtains, as if they could hear a melody danced with the wind, catching the woman's half-opened eyes as she tried to pull herself up.Her forehead creased as she tugged at the hem of the oversized shirt she wore last night. It ended at the middle of her legs, enough to cover the parts needed. She glanced at her side, expecting the sleeping beast sleeping beside her when she saw nothing but the messed up blanket.Memories from last night came crashing over her mind. She expected it the very least, but she couldn't deny how happy she is.Now that the crumple between them was now fixed, she started to think of the plans they'd do together. Will she be able to eat and be with him without an appointment? she wondered.She pressed her palms on her hot cheeks. Was it possible to feel more womanly when they did that? Because she could feel a different level of satisfaction and joy i

As if she was some kid who had been deprived of candy, Dalmi pushed herself at the corner of the tub, curling her legs towards her upper body as she averted her gaze from him.With a pout on her lips, she refused to talk to him even when he kept on asking her to come close.Why would she follow him after doing that thing? She was at least, sane enough to resist him.She was already in that place where she wanted to be. She'd anticipated for the best thing at that very moment, not even minding how it could end or how it could hurt her afterward but this man...pushed it all away.Now he was talking to her like he didn't do something horrible? She sarcastically smirked and put her face under her knees, refusing to answer his every call.What she was feeling right now were both hotness and coldness. The warm water was enveloping her whole body as it was submerged by it, but the flames Carden lit earlier were still alive inside her, and no matter how she tries to

Dalmi's heart pounded like the thundering hooves of a hundred wild stallions, it felt as though it would leave her chest.Carden's calloused, heated palm passed through her stomach and went upwards in a slow, circular motion. She could feel heat gushing inside her body, his every touch making her shiver, and cast all her strength away.She leaned her head on his chest and let him touch her skin. The silence covering the whole place made it so cold, but she could feel the opposite.Was it because they are so close to each other? Skin to skin, their bodies are stuck with each other. The roughness of Carden's skin, his hairy arms, and legs covered the smallness of her body but she didn't mind. It only adds up to the things she feels right now.She cursed herself. How could she feel this way when he was just merely cleaning her body? How come it could make her feel so hot when he was just touching her with no other intentions?She breathed slowly. His hand trail

"But we can just take an absent just for today, don't you think I'm working too much?" Carden frowned and stood a step back, his head tilting as he tried to convince her wife.They are inside his walk-in closet. When Dalmi told him that they have to go to work instead of cuddling inside her room, he immediately turned it down and never wanted to leave her but the woman was too pushy that he had to go out.He didn't even wear his work attire and just knocked behind her door as she gets ready, but he couldn't convince her."Didn't you say that a leader should be a good role model?" she arched her brow and walked in front of him. She touched his shoulders and checked his polo."But we'll just take an absent this day, it wouldn't be–"

"Will there be no other way for me to overcome this crap, Dr. Osmenia? I've been going here since forever but I still think there's no progress no matter what I do!" Carden angrily hissed when he heard the same thing to the Doctor.Two weeks ago, when he went here for a check-up, he also heard the same thing from him: if he continues to drink whatever he was saying and be as healthy as possible, he could improve.But the man, no matter how he encouraged himself to do all those things began to be more and more impatient each passing day."How much time should I wait until you can finally tell me that all these things are possible? I am starting to think that you are not as great as a doctor!" he put the folder down forcibly and covered his face with his hands.

"So gay," he cursed as he once again, strike his head on the steering wheel.He just couldn't accept it. Weeks, months, years have passed ever since he knew about his infertility but every time results will come out, he'd still feel the same pain he could hardly endure.All his teenage years, he played with girls and thought that he was just living his life the way he wanted. It was when he realized that the sperm he was emitting was too low compared to what he knew should come out. There are times when he'd lost his smell, at times he'd have pains on his lower body, and times were he wondered what was wrong with him.He thought he was all healthy until Casimir told him to get himself checked. He was twenty when he confirmed that he was infertile and he couldn't bear a child. But he couldn't accept it, so he tried to cure himself through the things Dr. Osmenia has given him, in hopes of the betterment of his reproduction and his health.Knowing these things, he

"Dalmi...I badly want to have a child..."Her eyes widened in abrupt when she heard about those words from him. She suddenly wanted to push him away, but the man's embrace and his broke voice was stopping her from doing it."A-are you serious?" she asked.Dalmi couldn't believe what this man says. It felt like everything was made out of crap and he was just bored."You must be kidding me!" she let out a nervous laugh.It's not like she didn't want to have a child. A part of her also wants to build a family they could call their own, but it was too sudden, she haven't predicted it.

My eyes were too focused on the contestants that lined up on the stage as I watched how Cadmus Thompson waved his arm while holding a trophy by his hand.Holding my wife’s hand beside me, I dragged her towards the stage and stood beside my little boy as the official photographer’s camera flashed multiple times. The flashes were shocking, but endurable enough.We are inside Cadmus’ school in Chicago and he joined a poster making contest. I hadn’t thought about it much, but out of all the talents he could have
Bound by a Prank Chapter 143: His Side
Chapter 143: When They Thought Things were fixed “This is why I don’t trust you, Carden. I don’t want my child to marry someone as incompetent as you.” The way the old lady said it to him felt like it was a dagger sent to his chest. To hear his wife’s mother those words were too painful to swallow, and his mind couldn't accept. “You...don’t trust me? Auntie, I was just worried about my son!” “Because you know you cannot protect him! You know you can’t protect your family because you are incompetent! I already knew you are that kind of man when I met you!” Carden had never thought that Dalmi’s mother could be like this. Never in his entire life, he had imagined for one of the

Cold sweat numbed her fingers, and her heart hammered fast.“D-Denver is w-what?” as if she suddenly became deaf, she tapped her ears with her hands.“D-Denver is missing, Dalmi-”“How the hell would that happen, Carden? You were with him!” she yelled when it dawned on her. She was expecting the man to deny it, or to say that he was just joking and would laugh, but she was wrong!Her eyes turned sharp, and her cheeks burned in anger. “Tell me you are joking right now, Carden! Bring him to me or you’ll never want to experience my anger!&rd

Chapter 141: Where is He?“Mommy! When will Daddy come to pick us up?” Denver pouted his lips and forcibly leaned his back on the couch. It was a Saturday morning and Carden was promised to bring him to the mall and play.It has been a month since that night, and everything was going smoothly. She thought the man was just joking and that he only said it to her because they finished making love, but after a week, with a velvet box and diamond ring in his hand, he proposed to her.It was the second time that they will get married but at that very moment, it felt like it was the first...and it really was. Because they started at a forced marriage and although they had an engagement, there was no love and meaning behind it compared to how it was at that time.Until now, she couldn't believe that she would once again marry Carden Thompson. In a span of a week, the preparations started. The first week became busier than she thought, for it was the t

Chapter 140Carden crossed his arms as he leaned his back at the wall. It was past eleven, and Denver and Dalmi were already in a deep slumber; however, he still couldn’t get himself to sleep.He was standing on Dalmi’s veranda, his back leaning on the wall and his eyes gazing at the deep, night sky. His disheveled hair kept on dancing with the cold wind as if it was upbeat music that won’t stop his hair from moving sideways, but he didn’t mind, for the only thing he wanted right now was to enjoy the peacefulness of the night.Up until now, he still couldn't believe that everything was falling into their right places. Denver accepted him as his father, he and Dalmi were fine...and they’re gonna sleep on the same roof tonight. It felt nostalgic and surreal, like a dream...and he was scared it might be taken away once he wakes up tomorrow because he didn’t want to fall asleep.“I thought you were asleep,” he s

Chapter 139Carden Thompson’s eyes widened when the kid held on to the hem of his shirt.“Are you going to go here again tomorrow?” he asked with his puppy eyes, as though he was telling him to say yes.Did Carden hear it right? Did Denver really call him his daddy or he was just dreaming?“Can you...can you repeat what you just said earlier?” he said. His eyes are still wide from the shock as he glimpsed at Dalmmi who also mirrored what he felt right now.Ecstasy, shock, disbelief...all of it was mixed up in his heart that he didn't know how he would react.“I am asking if you wil

Chapter 138“Mommy! Someone ate my Banana Split!” Denver cried and gripped the white comforter. Tears cascading down his chubby cheeks as his face reddened in anger.“I asked Yaya Linda to find it in the refrigerator but she said there was nothing!”No matter how she tried to act like she was sad about his loss, she couldn't. The kid just said that he didn’t like it in front of Carden, now that he was gone, he was searching for it?“I thought you don’t like it? Why are you asking Yaya to find it for you?” She wanted to laugh, but she knew her child would cry more if she did so she just touched his hair, pushing it upwards to see the whole of his face.
Bound by a Prank Chapter 137: Denver's Cry
Chapter 137Dalmi’s jaw dropped when she saw how Denver put the spoon down and crossed his arms like a grown-up man. The kid, who obviously looked like he enjoyed the first two scoops when he was tasting it, now looked as though he had tasted the worst banana split he ever had.“I-is he serious?” She shifted her gaze towards Carden who just picked up the spoon and sat at the seat where Denver sat earlier. He picked a portion of the desert and acted as if she was now in front of him.“Carden! Aren’t you offended that your child didn’t like what you did?” she furrowed her brows. If her son was already weird, she already knew that he got it from his father. Instead of thinking as to why Denver had to walk out, he just eats the leftovers! She glared at him.“Why? Should I be sad that Denver walked out?”“Yes! He just said he doesn’t like it!” she retorted and crossed her arms.

Chapter 136“No! Papa Johannes is my father!” the kid’s yell made Dalmi go back to reality. She was then, in gape and shock of the sudden revelation earlier, and seeing how her son ran away from them made her heart hurt.“Denver!” She called and was about to chase after him when he realized that Craden didn’t stand up and that he was still standing on his knees.“Carden, I’m sorry... i'll try to talk to him and explain things,” she said in a troubled voice and sighed. “I told you we can’t just say this to him in a rush, I know Denver would freak out…” she shook her head.But the man just let out a burst of low laughter before he stood up and clapped his hand to clear off the dust.“I don’t want to lie, Dalmi...I am hurt, but I will never give up on him. I promise I will wash off every memory from that man until he accepts me as his father.”That
