ENTANGLED WITH MY CONTRACTED HUSBAND chapter 226
Matthew's behavior had continuously floated just outside the domain of normal, but recently, it had developed progressively whimsical. What began as little quirks, like over-checking her messages or fixating over inconsequential details, soon aggravated into minutes that made Alexis explain everything. She sat over from him presently, the engagement ring overwhelming on her finger, and observed him tap his foot with an apprehensive vitality that appeared unending. "Matthew," she started, her voice calm but cautious. "We ought to talk." He shook, his look snapping to her with a sharpness that felt off. "Talk about what? The wedding?" Alexis looked down at the coffee table between them, centering on some neatness to dodge the concentration of his gaze. "Yes and other things." Matthew leaned forward, his elbows on his knees. "The wedding is in two weeks, Alexis. What could you conceivably get to talk about now?" She collapsed her hands in her lap, feeling the weight of each word she

They sat down on the bed, hardly a good place to calm her anxiety. Alexis turned and pumped up her courage. "Matthew, I want to talk to you about something. " "Really, what's on your mind?" he asked, his expression changing to one of curiosity."“I was thinking about our relationship. and I noticed something about our past." She met his gaze, searching for signs of deception. Matthew looks a little different. "What do you mean?" “Claire warned me about your controlling behavior in past relationships. She showed me some messages where you talked about women.” His face hardened and Alexis felt a shiver down her spine. "Claire is bitter. She’s justtrying to cause trouble. These messages are out of context.""Out of context?" Alexis replied, raising her voice. “It seems too simple for me. If you're not that person, why didn't you tell me?” Matthew's eyes narrowed. "Will you believe her over me? I thought it was trust between us.” "I believe you, but I must listen to your explanatio

Setting her coffee down. His "protective" nature, as Alexis used to call it, had morphed into something ugly and controlling. He monitored her social media, questioned her about male coworkers, and had somehow convinced her that his jealousy was a sign of love.Tasha rubbed her temples, frustrated by her own helplessness. She'd tried dropping hints, sharing articles about healthy relationships, even directly pointing out Matthew's controlling behavior. But each attempt had only made Alexis withdraw further, defended by the walls Matthew had carefully constructed around her. All Tasha could do now was wait, stay present, and hope that someday Alexis would find the strength to see her situation clearly and choose freedom over fear. Until then, her coffee would remain bitter with worry for her friend.As Alexis rested on the balcony of her apartment, the sun sank lower in the sky, casting a golden glow over the city. Below her the streets were full of life, but she felt a deep silence in

Fiona starts walking towards her, easy but uneventful. "Do you remember Jasmine's party night?" Alexis blinked and her mind flashed back to that night Matthew had arrived, dead with a smile on his face. "You went drinking," Jasmine said calmly, “and Matthew disappeared for a few moments.” Alexis clenched her jaw. “He said he was just gasping for air.” April looked at Jasmine sadly. "Lex, he was not outside. I saw him in the guest room, with someone else.”The words hit Alexis like a stab in the stomach. "You're lying." "It’s fine," Fiona said softly. Alexis's legs were weak and she sank down on the sofa. "What are you talking about? Why haven’t you told me this before?" "We tried," said Tasha, her voice dark. "But you weren't ready to hear that." Alexis buried her face in her hands, gasping for breath. "I can't believe this. " Tasha knelt beside her and rubbed his back. "I know it's hard, Lex. But you're better than the person who did this to you." Tears welled up in Alexis' e

He'd known Alexis quite well, watching her transform from the confident woman who first started working on various discoveries to this diminished version of herself. Haven's fingers drummed against his leg, a nervous habit he'd developed since noticing the pattern.What troubled him most wasn't the way Matthew checked her phone when she wasn't looking, or how he'd stationed himself at the counter under the guise of being a devoted boyfriend. It was the light that had gradually dimmed in Alexis's eyes, the same light that still sparked when she managed to share a genuine laugh with friends during those rare moments when Matthew was absent.Haven shifted in his seat, fighting the urge to talk to her and make her feel better. He couldn't be her knight in shining armor. She hadn't asked for one. But he'd seen the bruise on her wrist, poorly concealed by her watch, and the way she'd pulled her sleeve down when she caught him looking.If only she could see herself through his eyes, see the

Haven Leaned forward and braced his elbows on his knees. neck, but he looked at her with skeptical eyes. Haven sat back and felt a lump in his chest. He wanted to tell her that he had seen it happen and he had warned her about Matthew's manipulation. But this is no time for "I told you so." "I was worried about you," Haven Admitted after a moment of silence. Alexis laughed. "Matthew says you want me." Haven Chuckled a little and continued. "I'm thinking of you, Alexis. It's different."She wiped her eyes with her shirt sleeve. “He controls who I talk to and every movement.” Haven's jaw tightened, anger bubbling beneath his calm breath. He knew it was Matthew's fault, but hearing Alexis' confirmation made his blood boil. "You don't deserve it," he said in a steady but strong voice. "You know you can just leave him, right?" "I tried." Her voice broke. "But he always finds a way to drag me in. He says he loves me, and then when I try to leave, he's weird." Haven took her hands and

"Good morning," she said softly. Matthew looked at her, speechless. "Coffee. If you want.” She poured herself a cup, leaned against the counter, and watched him put down his plate. "Look, almost last night." Matthew cut her off. "No. I've thought about it, and honestly, I don't know what you want from me. You say I remind you of your father, but I'm not him. And if you don't see, maybe we're wasting time here." The words hit harder than Alexis expected. A part of her knew he was right, they couldn't keep dancing for the same argument. But the other part that she can't ignore is how this relationship seems to follow the toxic environment that she grew up with. "I just need space," she said. "Space to think, think about what I really want." Matthew lowered the plate with more force than was necessary. "And where does that leave me?" Alexis looked at him, really looked at him, seeing the chaos she saw before her father's eyes, the desire to control, to bend her to his will because

The party continued, but the air had moved, leaving behind a sense of unease and unfinished business. Outside, Alexis took a deep breath, the cool night air relieving against her flushed skin. Jordan set a consoling hand on her bear. “You okay?” She gestured, in spite of the fact that her voice wavered slightly. “Yeah. I will be.” And for the first time in months, she felt free.Alexis found herself seated disconnected at the far corner of the coffee shop, her fingertips following complicated designs along the edge of her untouched cappuccino. The outside world, obvious through the window, was lively with a furious vitality that she had long since lost the capacity to gather. Her look was settled on the darkened sea, her thoughts once more spinning around Matthew. The move from the simple beginning to the more complicated stage of their relationship was progressive, associated with the whisper of a breeze that carried a fragrance both recognizable and strange. There were viewpoints

Alexis’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment as several pro adjacent started to take note of the interaction. “Matthew, please,” she whispered direly. “Not here.” But Matthew wasn’t listening. His grip on her arm fixed, and his voice grew louder. “If you’re going to mislead me, at least make it believable.” The discussion around them continued as more people turned their heads, inquisitive about the unfurling scene. Jordan’s eyes flicked between Alexis and Matthew, his expression solidifying. “Hey, man, you should chill. We were just catching up.” “Stay out of this,” Matthew snapped, his voice carrying over the room. Alexis’s heart dashed, fear setting in as she took note the curious glances and quieted whispers spreading through the swarm. She tried to pull her arm free, but Matthew held on solidly, his knuckles white from the weight. “Matthew, let go of me,” Alexis said, her voice trembling. “Not until you explain yourself,” Matthew shot back, neglecting the growing gathering o

Prologue
Alexis sighed heavily as one of the drunken men held her down. She turned to him, ready to slam his face with her purse or maybe her fist. Whichever one worked faster. ‘Going so fast?’’ he asked in a slur, his breath smelling like rotten fruits mixed with herbs.‘I’m not here to keep you company,’ She gritted out.‘I want to take you home with me,’ he purred, his eyes mischievous. It made his hideous looking face look even more hideous.Trying not to gag, she forced a straight face and laughed. ‘You can’t even afford me.’’The man laughed and dug his hand into his pocket to withdraw his credit card. He waved it in her face. Alexis knew this man wasn’t joking. Whipping her head, she looked around the club, wondering where Haven went. He said he had to pee and he’s been gone for five minutes.She turned back to the man. "Get your hands off me," she said, her stomach churning.‘’I know you wanted me over. You’ve been eyeing me since you came in.’’ The man snickered. ‘’Lucky you. Girls l...
