~Agathe~

"We are gathered here on this night to witness the union of Mr. Gunther Percival Silvestri and Ms. Agathe Clementine Capucine in holy matrimony. A night of great celebration and blessing."

Blessing, my ass. Bad luck? One hundred percent.

"Take each other's hands and get ready to exchange vows and rings."

Vows?

The bellend grasped both my hands, tight and firm, while we were staring into each other. His dark amber eyes were shining, and his pinkish lips curved in a gorgeous smile.

He was playing his part as my loving husband. Can't deny he has dazzling skills in that specific area.

"Mr. Gunther Percival Silvestri."

"Yes, father?"

"Do you pledge to love this woman, to be loyal and truthful to her, and to comfort and keep her, to cherish and accept her, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"

I can't for the life of me understand that standing in front of a priest, declaring lifetime vows, was so nerve-wracking.

    ~Agathe~I can see my mother in front of me. She seemed healthy and lively. The signs of her illness had vanished from her eyes.She was dancing in a yellow sundress as she stood in the middle of a glittering field of vibrant roses. The sun shone brightly above us. Never before have I witnessed her in such joy.'Mama?' I attempted to approach her. But, each stride I take pushes me further away from her. What is going on? 'Mama!'My voice began to shake with fear. Especially when everything around us turned completely dark.All of a sudden, the field of roses began to disappear, and my mother was nowhere to be found. The once-beautiful scenario abruptly changed into a nightmare.'Mama!'It was strange that my voice kept echoing back to me. I kept turning around, only to find no one but me. 'Mama! It's me. Agathe! Where are you?' Until I opened my eyes and gasped, realizing it was all a dream. My eyes were filled with tears, a pounding headache is on its way. "Mama. ." I brushed

    ~Agathe~ It happened again. I have no idea where in the world that bellend's room is. I swear this house is so huge I got lost for the umpteenth time. I've been almost through all the rooms on the second floor and I am beyond worn out. Frustrated, I sat down on the carpeted floor, in the middle of the corridor to rest. A soft bark caught my attention out of the blue. When I turned around, I noticed a cute furry animal coming my way and wagging its tail cheerfully. It was the pretty gray dog of the bellend. I giggled with so much joy. "Mishka. You're here." I patted her head and she sat in between my legs, trying to lick my chin. "God. How can you be so cute, huh?" Didn't know before that I am fond of dogs. Without hesitating, I embraced Mishka's soft body and it was the best feeling ever. For a little while, the longing I had for my mother vanished into thin air. In a trice, an idea popped into my head. I fixed my gaze on Mishka's eyes and pleaded. "Mishka, can you tell me

    ~Agathe~ To sleep in the same room with him was all I wished for. For the mere reason that I don't want to be alone for the rest of the night. Heck, I don't mind sleeping on his couch as long as I won't be returning to my own room alone and scared to death. However, I could tell that his dark amber eyes desired something else. All of a sudden, it seemed very intense. Filled with sensuality I didn't know he could possess. Though, it was also me who pushed those thoughts away. No way in hell, I am being delusional.There is no way that this bellend would have a sexual desire for me. So with a quivering voice, I asked. "W-what do you mean?" In a flash, his smirk shifted into a deadly grin. One that is promising me I wouldn't like what I am about to hear."Feigning innocence, love? I see." "What?"Is he mocking me? The nerve of this guy. "I'm not pretending to be innocent. I'd rather say that I don't want to make assumptions." "Very well, then. Listen to me very carefully, love.

    ~Gunther~I sought the truth out from her ocean-blue eyes. And there, I perceived how badly she wanted me right now. With the same fervor of how much I was burning for her as well. That if I won't put it out, I would go berserk. I simply desire to taste her once. Just once. Maybe, she will be out of my mind after that. I certainly hope so. "You sure you won't regret that, love?" I inquired, wanting to be certain. Putting pressure on her."'Cause I don't want you accusing me of 'harassment' first thing in the morning." She closed her eyes, savoring the feeling of my thumb taunting her left tit. I kneaded it gently, applying a firm pinch that compelled her to purr like a cat. "Ohh, god. ." Did the same thing on her right tit and she thumped her head on the wall. Looking like she lost it all, grunting in pleasure inside my arms. "Please, I beg you." She whispered. "What is it, love? What do you want me to do?" I teased her. "Kiss me." I grinned, satisfied by her submission. "I

    ~Agathe~I woke up the next morning feeling completely roughed up. My whole body was aching in pain, including my heart. Everything feels surreal. I felt as though I was in a nightmare.Undressed, still snuggled inside the comforters. I was unable to stand or move as I recall everything that happened last night.Was sure as hell we connected, we weren't just lusting over each other. So, I couldn't fathom why the bloody hell he'd suddenly abandoned me, not giving a damn to explain what went wrong in our little lovemaking. If I can address it that way. He was a bloody womanizer, for Pete's sake! "That bellend." I muttered under my breath. I certainly told him that he was the first man in my life. Most probably, he got turned off by that. "So, what? Does he like women who are far more experienced than me? I was being a humdrum in bed, is that it?" I noticed how bright the day was when I looked out of the window. The snow stopped falling last night. I exhaled a deep breath, realiz

    ~Agathe~"Unfortunately, I never do it twice with the same woman. Hope you get the idea." What a rake. Grr. Is he implying that I want to sleep with him again? If looks could kill, he would be lying dead by now. I sat upright, lifting my chin. I should at least save my pride. "What are you talking about? Did something happen between us last night? 'Cause I don't seem to remember anything."Furrowing my eyebrows, squinting my eyes. Did my best to look like I had forgotten everything. It completely stunned him, his lips parting in bewilderment. Ha! Take that, bellend! Serve you, right? "All I could recall was that I slept soundly in my room, with Mishka by my side. By the way, we're friends already. Hope you don't mind."I mimicked his mocking tone in the last part. Mishka barked on the corner upon hearing her name. When I turned to look at her, Yesenia and two other maids were tending to her and feeding her. I stared back at the bellend, giggling in satisfaction. "See?" It wa

    ~Gunther~I was gone for a mere second and Agathe had already attracted a bunch of men shopping around the store. The worst part, one of them boldly approached her and it was none other than Thaddeus.My closest cousin. We are the same age. Thaddeus never bothered to strike up a conversation with those women I had brought into his boutique before.For him to introduce himself to my wife first is something. He must have been enthralled by Agathe's exceptional beauty. Even in a plain gray hoodie jacket and sweatpants of mine, she still stood out. She wasn't wearing makeup or anything for that matter. Her charm was further enhanced by her long, wavy, reddish hair. It was something that could kindle a man's desire in any way. Not to mention that her ocean-blue eyes were the kind of strongest weapon she didn't know she had. I came to a realization that those orbs could gradually tame the Devil in me, little by little if I wasn't careful. I should probably ask grandma the next time I

    ~Gunther~I punched Thaddeus straight in his face, he stumbled on the tiled floor. That was a massive blow I am certain would make his lips swell for a few days. "Gunther!" Agathe screamed right after but I was too enraged to hear her cries. Everyone around us was alerted. Though, no one dared to come closer because they unequivocally knew what I could do to them and their families. I own this fucking city for Pete's sake! "Quit screwing around my wife, bastard! You just met her and you dare to act like I owe her to you or something! Are you for real!" "Gunther, please!" Agathe embraced my body and attempted to pull me away from Thaddeus. She was crying, begging me to stop. Which is so unlike her.Why is she crying, anyway? Who is she crying for? Is she trying to protect Thaddeus from me? Is that it? Calixto and my bodyguards entered the scene seconds later. They must have seen the commotion from the glass wall. "Get him away from me, Cal! Or, I would forget that we are shar

    ~Agathe~[Present Time]I could hear faint voices talking around me. I looked around the darkness that surrounded me but saw no one.I felt like I was floating, but my feet remained on the ground. I felt hopeless.I want to go back to my mother because she still needs me. My father just died, and I am the only one she has left.“Her finger moved, Doctor Wright!” I heard someone say something beside me, but when I looked to my side, I saw no one.“Hello? Who are you? Where exactly am I? Where is my mother?" I asked in a loud voice, without even opening my mouth.“She's regaining consciousness. Quickly, call Gunther.”“But, Doctor. He is downstairs, discussing something important with his family. What are we supposed to do?”“Check her pulse. Check everything.” Before I could respond, I felt something powerful catapult me through the air.“Arghhhhhhhhh!”Before I knew it, I opened my eyes again to see a bright light aimed directly at my eyes. “She is awake! The patient is awake, doctor!

She tried so many times to end her life and I will always be the one to witness it all.I haven't slept a wink since last night, and my stomach is growling for food. The food in our fridge and pantry were already gone by the third day.I had been begging my mother for food, but she would always kick me out of her room and lock herself in there for the whole day.To ease my hunger, I would curl up and hug my knees on my bed while crying myself to sleep. This is the fourth day that I can't tolerate my hunger anymore, I am beyond starving.My legs wobbled when I got out of my bed. My vision was blurry, and my head felt as if a hammer was constantly pounding on it.I feel so sick and helpless but I refuse to take this nonsense any longer. If my mother is unable to provide for me, I will have to do it myself from now on.My father did not sacrifice his life for me o

    ~Agathe~[Flashback, fifteen years ago]What I saw next in front of me wasn't what I expected, as everything happened so suddenly.Three strong, consecutive punches landed directly on the tall boy's face, and I was too stunned to even react."Do you think you can fool me, dumbass? How many more beatings do you need to understand? I can see right through your idiotic mind!”The tall boy collapsed to the ground, but the old man continued to assault him, kicking his stomach and his back numerous times.My mouth dropped open as I watched the horrifying scene in front of me in sheer terror. It was like I could feel every painful hit and kick from the old man in my own body.But, I couldn't understand why the tall boy never cried or shouted for help. He only kept his eyes closed and silently endured the pain.I stood there quietly, rooted to the spot where I was standing, not knowing what to do. Once the old man was satisfied, he lifted the tall boy's body from the ground and forced him to

    ~Agathe~[Flashback, fifteen years ago]I tried to calm my racing heart by tapping my chest a few times and taking a deep breath. I almost got caught!But, why is my heart racing so much?Perhaps, my heart was racing from the pain of witnessing the wild boars being killed by my father and his comrades.Perhaps, it was beating fast out of nervousness because some strangers had appeared, and they seemed very intimidating.“A pleasant morning. I am Clermont Silvestri, current chief executive officer of Silvestri Group of Companies.” I heard someone say in a deep, scary voice.All of a sudden, I could hear curious whispers from my father's comrades. I frowned because I don't know what a chief executive officer is all about.“We are from Stonewood City.” Gasps from my father's comrades suddenly echoed through the air once again. Stonewood City?I am not quite sure where that is. I have only known our village my entire life."I have recently bought this entire village, including all its es

    ~Agathe~I could hear Gunther's screams ripping through the air. He sounded so desperate and nearly begging.It was so heartbreaking to hear him like that. I wanted to open my eyes and comfort him, but I couldn't.Then, out of nowhere, I felt powerful hands gently lift my body onto something. Afterwards, I was hoisted into the air and was transported somewhere.I could hear the sirens of the ambulance nearby. I could hear everyone shouting and barking commands.But, Gunther's desperate voice stood out to me the most.I knew that I was fighting for my dear life. But, somehow, everything felt surreal that I felt like I was merely dreaming.Then, from the absolute darkness that surrounded me, I heard a faint voice. "Agathe.”It sounded so familiar and soothing, I suddenly yearned to hear it again. I looked around the darkness that surrounded me, but I saw nothing.As I wandered around, tears began to form in my eyes. “Who is that?” I asked in a loud voice, without opening my mouth."Swee

    ~Agathe~Being in Stonewood City for almost a week has made me realize that I can also love this kind of life, with Gunther and Carlyle.And, when I finally accepted that Gunther had managed to sneak into my heart, I never anticipated the pain of repeatedly witnessing his mother's disdain towards me.Seeing her eyes full of disgust and hatred directed towards me made me feel hurt, beyond my understanding.Deep within my heart, I longed for her acceptance of me, perhaps echoing the desire of every daughter-in-law out there.I was about to turn around and walked away from there as quietly as possible but I was taken aback to see both Peter and Calixto standing behind me.As if it wasn't enough, both of them moved and stood on my left and right side. It was as if they were silently telling everyone that they are going to protect me no matter what.And, it didn't matter to them that it was their boss's mother they might have to confront. I was even astonished by how quickly Calixto had fo

    ~Agathe~It was lunchtime when I noticed something peculiar. I was having lunch with Carlyle as Gunther had left for the office earlier in the morning."Belv." I called Belvedere's name, who was standing beside the dining table.I had invited them to join me and Carlyle on the table, but as usual, they strongly declined. I had already given up on persuading them, as they are deeply committed to their job."Where is Yesenia? I don't recall seeing her all morning." I remarked, even noticing Carlyle furrowing her eyebrows at me."I checked her room, Mommy. Yennie is still fast asleep." Carlyle mentioned casually and then continued to devour her food.I noticed something on the corner of her lips and gently wiped it away with my finger. "Be careful, sweetheart."Afterward, I turned to Belvedere with a worried expression in my eyes. "Is she still sleeping, Belv? In all the days I've been here, I've never known Yesenia to sleep in. Is everything alright? Could she be unwell?”"I'll have a h

    ~Agathe~"I was wondering what took you so long, love.” Gunther's voice was cold and threatening, sending an instant shiver down my spine.“Carlyle and I were waiting for you in the entertainment room. She had already fallen asleep while waiting. While here you are, talking with some motherfucking bastard behind my back once again.”Gunther stressed the final words, his tone clearly laced with sarcasm. I noticed Thaddeus let out a deep sigh as if he was growing weary of his cousin's drama."You mentioned it yourself, dear cousin. We were just talking. When did having a conversation with someone become a criminal offense?”I turned to Thaddeus, feeling the urge to scold him. "Goodness gracious, don't provoke him. He might end up hitting you again." I whispered, recalling the incident that occurred at his boutique.However, Thaddeus smirked at me, showing no signs of being affected in the slightest. I clenched my teeth in pure annoyance towards him.I suddenly gasped so loud as I felt G

    ~Agathe~I just finished eating dinner with Gunther and Carlyle when Yesenia unexpectedly tugged me to the side, catching me off guard.“What’s the matter, Yen?” I asked her, a bit annoyed at the sudden pulling.However, as I caught sight of the urgency in her eyes, any trace of annoyance I had felt instantly dissipated in the air.Yesenia motioned for me to be quiet and glanced around discreetly. She patiently waited until Gunther and Carlyle ascended the stairs, heading towards the entertainment room.We all planned to watch a movie together that night.“I need to tell you something, young lady. This won't take long, or else the young master might notice and become suspicious.” She whispered.Afterward, when nobody was looking, Yesenia discreetly guided me into the maid's quarters.I squinted my eyes, a slight throbbing sensation pulsating in my head. It felt as though I had already entered those quarters before, but I can't remember when or how.Once we entered the quarters, Yeseni
