Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Rhea had always pictured being married in church, wearing a big white dress with a lot of frills, with beautiful makeup and a long veil, she had always imagined that her father would walk her down the aisle with soft music playing in the background.
She had always imagined that all her family members would be in attendance, that she would invite all of her friends from university that RM would her maid of honour, she had imagined she would have to force her best friend into a dress.
She had imagined she would carry a bouquet of white lilies, she had imagined that it would be the happiest day of her life, that she would have a never ending smile on her face.
Most of all she had imagined she would be in love with the man she was to marry, that he would be handsome and tall, with a dashing smile and that when she was walking down to him, he would smile and look a as though it was the happiest day of his life too.

Rhea immediately rushed to the direction where the bathroom was, as she looked in the rusty looking mirror, she couldn't hold back the laugh anymore, it spilled through her lips and reached her ears, it sounded a bit giddy and somehow maniacal too.She heard the door creak and a small pixie like woman came out of one of the toilet, the woman was staring at her oddly, Rhea knew very much that the woman had heard the laugh and most probably thought she was mad.She gave the woman a toothy smile and the woman scrambled out of the toilet looking a little scared, Rhea then sprinkled water on her face, rinsed her mouth and made her way outside to complete her wedding ceremony.She walked to the table slowly, aware of the eyes on her, she simply ignored the piercing gazes around her and walked straight ahead to the table where Jason was standing in wait for her, wearing surprisingly clean shoes.She had no ide
Contract Marriage XVI. Cecelia
Rhea woke up with perspiration on her face, she had the most visual erotic dream ever, it had felt so real.She used the tips of her fingers to touch her lips which quivered at the touch, she remembered as Jason had teased, sucked and bitten them in the dream, her hands moved from her lips and down to her neck.She moaned loudly as she remembered Jason's hot breath on it, as she remembered him putting his wet tongue on it, as he drew flesh into his mouth, catching it between teeth, she gasped as she could feel the sweet pain on her neck, it was as though she was back in the erotic dream.Her hands immediately left her neck and moved under the lacy baby doll nightgown that she had worn to bed.She felt her warm breast in her hand, weighing it in her palm like how Jason would weigh it, like how he weighed it in her dreams.She used the pad of her thumb to rub over her already puckered nip

"Why didn't you tell me that Cece was Jason's sister?" Rhea shouted to Rory from the phone immediately she got into her room.She couldn't believe that she had been so rude to Cece, she had absolutely no idea that she was Jason's sister, she hadn't been at the wedding and Rhea hadn't seen her anywhere apart from at Rory's wedding."What are talking about?" Rory asked, her voice sounding hoarse and tired."Why didn't you tell me that Cece was Jason's sister?" Rhea asked again, she was still dying of mortification."I am so tired Rhea, you know I am pregnant right?"Rhea was starting to get frustrated, "I am pregnant too, just tell me.""I am pretty sure I told you, you must have forgotten," Rory said."No, you didn't tell me, and that was why I treated her like a bitch, I feel so bad," Rhea groaned."Cece is really not a bad person, just I
Contract Marriage XVIII. One Big Family
Rhea rushed into her bathroom, her heart beating strongly against her ribcage, her breathing loud and rugged.As she brushed her teeth she couldn't help but fantasize his hands on her again.Stop it Rhea, he is a jerk, he doesn't love you, he never will, she chided herself.When it came to Jason, she couldn't control her emotions, she always wanted his hands on her, his close proximity broke her walls to pieces.He was off limits, but that didn't stop her heart from beating for him, it didn't stop her from feeling things for him, things that she was sure she wasn't supposed to feel, not for a man who loathed her.She sighed again, she stared at her flustered reflection in the mirror, there was still the problem of the dinner.Rhea has no intention of sitting on the same table as her family, she was still very much angry at them, she still felt betrayed.

He asked, his voice sounding strong and threatening, the voice was meant to scare her, but it succeeded in making her angry."Why does it matter?" She asked shrugging, she really didn't have the patience to argue as she was tired of all the talk during the dinner."Of course it matters, it matters when my wife decides not to follow me out when I am leaving, it matters when her boyfriend drops her off!" He shouted at her, his loud voice making her wince.

Contract Marriage XXI. Hormonal Imbalance
Rhea sat alone in Jason's car, using her fingers to tap lightly on any surface she could find; she was bored.She didn't want to agree to Jason asking her to stay in his car, but he had acted like it was so important, and so for that reason she just nodded her head and stayed. She was still curious though, she still wanted to know how the inside of his office looked, she still wanted to know the people he worked with.Without thinking too much about it, she came out of the car, solidly locking it behind her, wiping her sweaty hands on her black leggings, and with her head held high she walked into the building.At first the number of people she saw inside scared her, she had been seeing people going in and out while she was still inside the car, but she had never felt that they would be so many.As she stood in the midst of the crowd, it occurred to Rhea that she didn't know where exactly Jason's off

Rory squealed, her voice sounding high pitched and happy."Hi, Rory," Rhea said smiling at Rory's enthusiasm."So you just forgot me?" Rory asked in her overdramatic fashion."No, it just that I have been a little busy, but right now I am bored," Rhea cried."There is no way I can let my pregnant best friend be bored, Rory to the rescue, I will be there in a few," Rory said and Rhea squealed, it had been a while since she had seen her fr
