It was a cold, starry night; stars continued to twinkle in the deep gray sky, and the moon shone as if it were the most brilliant creation He had ever made. The neighborhood was all in deep sleep. The sounds of the waves create a peaceful atmosphere across the area.Ryleigh remained in bed and was extremely awake. She is beginning to sense whether her body is still weak or if she still has a fever, but praise God, it has passed.She suddenly felt thirsty and was going to remove her comforter when she heard someone enter her room. According to his physique, he is a male. And there are only two individuals in the house; her and Luke. But what will Lucas do in her chamber at this time? He knew she couldn't still accomplish what he desired, and visiting her would wound his pride.She waited for the man to approach before her eyes widened in recognition of Lucas.The way he moved, though, suggested that he was attempting to maintain his equilibrium, and when the light from the lampshade sh
Ryleigh never saw Lucas again after having breakfast. It was Saturday, and she was aware that the man seldom left the house on weekends unless Hannah is present. They will have a date outdoors. Yes, she is the wife, but she has never actually been one. Lucas never invites her out on a date, not even a sham one. She must accept her plight, no matter how painful it is.Every young lady desired a happily ever after romance with their prince charming. Well, she could say that her life is currently akin to a fairytale, where she is the weakling—the slave—and is waiting for a fairy godmother to rescue her, or like Rapunzel in her tower, waiting for her prince charming, and will spend the night in the lake singing—oh, whatever she's thinking, it's sheer stupidity. It is a nasty old story in a book that was created solely to fool children.She was in this situation when Lucas noticed her on the second floor."Tonight, let's just have a one-hour session. 7 pm. Next week, Hannah will already be
The following morning, Rye awoke early and repeated her normal practice. Except for her core, she is pain-free and can carry on with her daily activities. She might still feel a small amount of discomfort.She was churning pancake batter in a bowl when she noticed Luke enter the kitchen.She greeted the man with "Good morning," and he simply nodded as he went about his daily routine; as usual, he would brew his coffee again.Rye expelled a big sigh before turning around and beginning to cook her pancakes. She was placing some ingredients in the pan when she caught a glimpse of Luke, who was currently seated and sipping from his cup.She thought it was a miracle that he would sit in the kitchen while she was there. " What are you up to?"Luke then looked at her and locked eyes with her. " What are your thoughts?"Rye stopped speaking and left him alone. She does not want to quarrel with him since she does not know what he will do to her next.She took one dish and placed it next to her
Hannah called Lucas when it was already dusk. Lucas is surprised to find the woman at the airport waiting for him. He anticipates Hannah tomorrow, not today. And he appears angry when the wife tells him to retrieve her immediately.The time is already beyond six, and he has a session with Ryleigh scheduled for seven."Babe, are you paying attention?"It was Hannah's voice that brought him back to reality.“Yeah. I'll be present. Simply wait for me," he added before ending the call.He was waiting for Rye in his playroom, but Hannah was already at the airport. He sighed, stood up, and left the room. He was ready to resume his trek when he noticed Rye approaching from his side.Damn it! When he saw her wearing a yellow floral dress that suited her, he swore in his head. Damn! She has the ideal curves. If circumstances were different, he may be considered fortunate. However, they are not destined to be together."Let's do it at a later date. I need to retrieve Hannah—whatever, why should
"My God, Luke! Why did you allow her to leave?" Luke's chamber was filled with Hannah's shrill yells. " She assaulted me and even pulled my hair." L uke held a glass of champagne in his right hand while stroking his temple with the other. Hannah continues to ramble on about Ryleigh even though hours have passed."You should've let me knock the hell out of her, or you should've punched her, right?" she asked Luke as she approached him. "Why did you let it pass, honey?"“Seriously? Are we going to dispute this, Hannah?"Hannah pouted as she sat alongside Luke. "Why don't you call me baby?" She is currently beginning her tantrum."You were to blame, Hannah." Luke added, "And don't mess things up between you and Rye."“No! She initially tugged my hair—""Fuck it, Hannah! What are your thoughts about me? A blind person? And if you continue to say it was Rye's fault, I suppose I'll just sleep in the guest room—""Why would you defend Rye?" Hannah stood before him with her arms crossed."B
As anticipated, Hannah told Luke everything about her, and Ryleigh heard the prostitute disparage her in front of Luke.She then looked into Luke's eyes and saw and felt his lunacy. However, she continued to vacuum the carpeted floor.Earlier, she performed a few errands, and vacuuming will be her last chore for the day. Luke had just returned home, and Hannah was also there waiting for him."Check out that lady, babe." She heard Hannah, but she never had the courage to look at them; instead, she rushed quickly to complete what she had begun.Hannah continues to speak, and she does not know if that woman is literally stupid because she sees Rye in the room, but continues bringing her up. Before looking at Hannah and Luke, Rye switched off the vacuum and placed it in its proper location.Prior to leaving the living room and ascending the stairs, she lifts her left brow at the woman.She had had enough of the abuse she was receiving. She may become weary, but she will never give up on L
The next morning, Ryleigh awoke feeling dreadful. The muscle in her abdomen still hurts, although not as much as it did yesterday.She will face punishment from him regardless of how hard she attempts to be tough and ignore everything. Now, she had no choice but to comply with Hannah. Oh God, she wanted to end it all and just divorced him, but when Lucas reveals his other side — where he demonstrates caring — not literally, but Rye can sense it via his voice and actions — she will end up trying to be tough every day. Finding herself repeatedly submissive to him.She had just cleansed her face before leaving her room for the kitchen. She observed Lucas and Hannah enjoying coffee and conversing while seated across from one another.Rye greeted them with "Good morning," which attracted their attention.The cold emerald eyes of Lucas met hers. She smiled at him, but he remained expressionless and turned his attention back to Hannah."What's the morning like when we see you?" Hannah is now
"Did you see her expression?" Abby asked as soon as they entered her room. The woman laughed out loud as she dragged her baggage to Ryleigh's bed and sat down on it."Abby, you shouldn't do that. Hannah will tell Luke about it."Abby ceased laughing and regarded her. "Are you frightened?"Rye brought the wooden chair to himself and sat down. "It's not quite that—""What then? I was aware of it. That Luke is physically and emotionally harmful to you. Take a look at your cheek."Rye expelled a heavy sigh. With their separation, Abby observed it once more."I'm to blame."Abby was aware that her laughter was mocking. "In their perspective, it's always your fault because you let them—I don't know Rye, I've told you I won't keep asking you about it. Because no matter how much I try to persuade you to leave him, you won't listen to me, correct?""Time flies so fast and I love him as much as I want to obey my fa—""Stupid love! Pathetic. You love him so deeply, huh? That you allow him to dam
