Forced to Marry My Bully Chapter 2
I never liked cars with too much room in the back. The partition was up, closing us off from the front, leaving anyone outside to wonder what he and I might be doing back there.But today, Ethan was quieter than usual. I was shaking uncontrollably, and despite the temperature rising in the car, I couldn’t stop. He ignored my reaction and pulled me into his arms. "Alice, are you that scared?" His whisper brushed against my ear, and he knew exactly why I was trembling. "I’ll take you to pick out a wedding dress later, okay?" I managed to steady my trembling, but a bitter laugh escaped my lips. Who would have thought that the man who once pushed me into the abyss was now gently telling me he wanted to take me to pick out a wedding dress? …Ethan took me to a boutique located in a private villa. The crystal chandelier reflected dazzling light, illuminating the wedding dresses displayed on mannequins, making them sparkle. I had no interest in looking or choosing a dress. I

Milk used to be my favorite drink. Back in school, my mom would always make sure I left the house with a bottle of it every morning.But one day, when I got to class, Ethan was sitting on the desk in front of me. He was already quite tall back then. As he leaned down to look at me, his shadow completely engulfed me. I heard someone sneer, followed by a voice saying, "Come on, Ethan, have some fun." Then he smiled at me, stretching out his hand. I handed him the milk bottle. The moment he twisted off the cap, the scent of milk hadn’t even reached my nose before the white liquid poured down over my head. My nose, collarbone, neckline, the hem of my skirt—everywhere was soaked with that smell. But while I was crying, everyone else was laughing. "Hey, look at her. Who’s she trying to seduce?" "I swear, Ethan, your twisted sense of humor..." Suddenly, a thumb brushed against my cheek. Ethan rested his chin on his hand, sitting in front of me. He grabbed my chin, stud

He tossed me onto the bed in the adjacent room connected to his office. Leaning over, he loosened his tie with one hand, the dark red silk slipping through his fingers. I had a feeling that I had interrupted his meeting, and now, he was irritated. After all, he wasn’t always so indulgent with me. "Did you miss me that much today?" My long hair spilled across the bed, and he toyed with it, wrapping the strands around his fingers. I looked at him in silence. "Ethan, do you have any milk in your office?" He paused, clearly not expecting that question. This lounge seemed to be his private space, connected to his office. The scattered dress shirts and suits on the bed all belonged to him. After a moment, he pulled a carton of milk from the fridge and handed it to me. "Ran out of milk at home…?" He never got to finish his sentence because I snatched the milk from his hand. Twisting off the cap, I poured it straight over his head. For a second, he froze. Honestl

"She’s Miss Quinn, Mr. Chambers’ fiancée." "What? She’s so rude, though." "He spoils her." "Why? I’ve never even seen her before, and she’s supposed to be the future lady of the house?" "It’s just a rumor that I’ve heard. They said he found her a few weeks ago." "Because she looks exactly like Mr. Chambers’ first love." "He couldn’t have the real thing, so he settled for the next best option…" …When I woke again, the sky outside was awash with fiery red clouds, their glow spilling into the room. The soft rustle of pages turning wasn’t loud, but the moment I stirred, he heard me. The back of his hand brushed against my forehead. "You have a fever. Why didn’t you drink the milk this morning?" I opened my mouth but found it hard to make a sound. My throat burned and my whole body was dry and weak. All I could do was shake my head. Ethan let out a quiet chuckle before lifting me into his arms. He had changed into fresh clothes, and there was no trace of smoke

The skin beneath his brows was flushed red, his eyes burning. The moment he saw me, he let out a soft chuckle. "Alice, you’re getting harder and harder to control." He pressed me against the sofa, yet even now, he still placed a hand on my waist to keep me from hitting the armrest. His gaze was dark, like a raging storm. "Where’s Lily Shaws?" I tilted my head up and asked, but he only scoffed lightly. "She’s gone." "You left the house with her this morning." "I got rid of her a long time ago." A strange, unnameable feeling stirred in my chest. I looked away, unwilling to meet his eyes. His forehead lightly rested against mine. For a fleeting moment, I thought I saw a glimmer of wetness in his dark eyes. "Alice, you didn’t drink your milk today, did you? Did you throw it away as soon as I left?" I stayed silent. Yes, I hadn’t touched milk in days. Maybe I was just as stubborn as Ethan—once I didn’t want to do something, no one could make me. But Ethan
Forced to Marry My Bully Chapter 7
I hadn’t had my period in months.… With Ethan’s lack of restraint and the fact that he never gave me any birth control, this outcome seemed inevitable. I was pregnant. Ethan probably didn’t know yet. I stared blankly at my flat stomach, lost in thought. The sad part was, did I even have a say in whether to keep this child or not? Lately, Ethan had been coming home early. And the moment he walked through the door, he would pull me into his arms. Sometimes, I struggled to reconcile this man with the one who used to kick me to the ground the moment he got bored. At some point, his bottom line had shifted—lowered to an extent I never thought possible. Sometimes, I overheard his phone calls with his friends. It was probably one of them inviting him out for a game of cards. He let out a low chuckle, his gaze dropping to where I was curled up on the couch."I’m keeping my wife company." A burst of exaggerated groans and jeers erupted from the other end, loud enough f
Forced to Marry My Bully Chapter 8
"Alice Quinn, my brother has spoiled you far too much." I kept quiet."I'm telling you now, you and I are sworn enemies from this moment on. Don't think for a second that I'll ever accept you marrying into our family." Honestly, sometimes she was as childish as a little kid. I had no idea why she was here today, but her attempts at provocation were utterly pointless. …"Brother! Can you just break up with this woman already?" It wasn't until Ethan came home that I finally understood her reason for showing up. So, after all that, it was just about stopping our marriage. On that, we actually shared the same goal. Ethan reached out, intending to ruffle my hair, but I dodged him. His gaze lowered slightly, his voice deep and calm. "Not happening." Serena stomped her foot in frustration, shooting me a furious glare. I rolled my eyes in response, only to catch Ethan watching me. He let out a quiet chuckle. "Brother! Can you stop indulging her?! Look at yourself—yo
Forced to Marry My Bully Chapter 9
Lying in a hospital bed, the only thing I seemed to hear was the endless hum of cicadas outside. White window frames stretched endlessly. A ceiling so clean that there was not a speck of dust in sight. IV fluid dripped steadily from the bag above, while the catheter in my wrist pressed deep, like a thorn buried in bone.I had lost track of how many days I had been here and had no idea how many people came and went. Doctors, nurses, men, and women, hovering near the window. At some point, it felt like I couldn't hear them at all. Memories shattered like waves crashing in a storm and kept playing on a loop in my dreams. Ethan. His sister. Their cruelty. I relived it again and again.I had forgotten that I was already at the bottom of the abyss. Yet I still foolishly hoped that a demon could set me free. I had let myself be deceived by Ethan’s so-called tenderness. For a fleeting moment, I even believed he was different. The pain in my abdomen had lasted for days. Th

I was speechless."That day, I didn’t say or do anything. You just lost your mind. My brother even took a few of your blows to stop you."I continued to keep quiet."You and my brother were already married, remember? You were married to him four years ago."Sigh, I’m telling you all this, but you’ll probably forget it all anyway."Serena sighed. I knew that she really hated me.After all, with her prideful nature, how could she stand being misunderstood?I pushed open the hospital room door.Ethan was still unconscious.I sat beside him, carefully tracing his features, from the bridge of his nose to his lips.The night was quiet, and Serena had left.For the past few days, I just sat by his bedside, keeping watch.By some strange impulse, I leaned in and kissed his lips.As I kissed him, something stirred inside me.It felt like he had responded to my kiss.I snapped my eyes open.In the dim light, Ethan’s dark eyes stared back at me—deep and heavy."Crying again?

When I held you, you even managed to stab me a few times.You kept shaking your head and rolling your eyes.The situation was too urgent, so I slapped you to try to bring you back to your senses.I never expected you to remember that.Next time, I’ll let you slap me back.How’s that sound?…June 4 – Clear SkiesI woke up in the hospital and missed a few days of journaling.Well, I lost quite a bit of blood.You know, Alice, you really could've done a better job with where you stabbed me.…June 5 – Clear SkiesAlice isn’t talking to me anymore.I don’t feel like writing in my journal either.…June 8 – RainHmm.I can only sneak into your room at night to check on you because you hate me.…June 9 – RainIt’s okay.I’m not afraid of you hating me.…June 13 – Clear SkiesAlice ran away—she left all on her own.I lost it.

I turned her into the one who had hurt me and made her my tormentor so I could push her away. That was all it took. I waited for Ethan to finally abandon me. But the cycle never ended. I remembered, then forgot. Over and over again. “Ethan, I turned you into the worst kind of monster. Did you ever feel wronged? Why didn’t you just let me go, Ethan?” I murmured.Tears dripped onto my phone screen, blurring everything. I couldn’t see anymore. Then, suddenly, someone crouched beside me. It was Julian.But Julian wasn’t real. He had never been real. He was just a figment of my imagination. And now, he was here again—because Ethan was gone, and I hadn’t taken my medication. Looking back, it was all so obvious. The medication had been mixed into the milk. Lily appeared because I threw a fit, refusing to take my pills. The moment I stopped, the hallucinations began. The day I convinced myself I was pregnant? Ethan already gave in, agreeing not to lace my mi

"Yeah, and there was an ambulance too. I saw it from the window during class." "What happened? Give us the details." "A girl was carried out, covered in blood. It was terrifying." "Which class was she from? Which grade?" "I don’t think I should say… But man, the scene—damn, it was brutal." "Come on, stop being vague! Was it an attempted murder?" "I’m telling you, it was even worse than that." "Then spit it out already! What exactly happened?" "I don’t want to offend anyone by saying too much. Forget it, I’m not talking about it." I was speechless.Was it really something that couldn’t be talked about? I lowered my gaze to my stomach. Thinking back, I had assumed I was pregnant that day. But my cycle had always been irregular, and nausea was a common symptom of heatstroke in the summer. The ridiculous part? I jumped to the conclusion without even taking a pregnancy test. Wasn’t that absurd? I had been so convinced. Yet the truth was that I could never g
Forced to Marry My Bully Chapter 14
With Ethan gone, I had a lot more freedom. At the very least, he wasn’t constantly hovering around me, and I could do whatever I wanted. There were quite a few travelers from home at the lodge, and I ended up befriending a younger girl. She was about sixteen or seventeen, here on a summer vacation trip with her family. The morning sky had been endless and clear, not a single cloud in sight. By afternoon, heavy clouds rolled in, shrouding the mountain in gray. By evening, a sudden blizzard hit, plunging everything into darkness. Ethan’s climbing group was large, and soon, panic spread through the lodge. Several families were saying they had lost contact with their relatives—no response, no signal. The hotel lobby was filled with anxious murmurs. A staff member reassured everyone to stay calm, explaining that many of the climbers were experienced mountaineers. If they were caught in the storm, they would know how to handle it far better than the average person. Fo

"Are you cold?" I was already wrapped in layers upon layers, yet he still tried to drape a scarf over me. I dodged away. Behind me, he chuckled. "Why do you look like a little bear?" I kept quiet.My breath curled into the air, forming a misty cloud. We were staying at a lodge at the foot of Mount Taken, a place clearly designed for the wealthy. Everything was top-tier, down to the smallest amenities. It was the off-season for tourism, but I still ran into a couple of fellow travelers from home. "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" He spread butter onto his toast with precise, effortless strokes. Whenever I did it, it came out crooked and uneven. Watching him, though, was strangely pleasing. With a sigh, he swapped my messy toast for the one on his plate. The lodge had a hunting dog—big and intimidating at first glance, but after a few days, I realized it was just a fool who wagged its tail for food. So, I took the piece of toast Ethan had just prepared for me

In the end, I was discharged from the hospital, but I didn’t return home with Ethan. I threatened a hunger strike, and he finally agreed to let me move back into my own place. The price? I had to finish a bottle of milk every day under his watch. At this point, even Ethan probably didn’t believe there was nothing wrong with that milk anymore.But I didn’t care anymore. If he told me to drink, I drank. I stared him down, drank the bottle in one go, and then slammed the door shut in his face, keeping him outside. …I pawned the third engagement ring. Of course, I had no intention of buying it back. …Then, suddenly, Julian fell seriously ill. I knew it was strange—I hadn’t known him for long, but I was willing to do anything to save him. If I had to give a reason, it was probably because no one had ever been so genuinely kind to me before. It felt like everyone’s affection always came with an agenda. But Julian—his smiles were just for me. I took him to countles

Despite flinching at the slightest touch from the nurses these past few days, I didn’t recoil from him. The midday sun was harsh, its heat rising in waves, cutting the world off from everything else. I stared at him, momentarily dazed, as he took a seat beside me. Then, our hands moved in unison across the keys. It had been years since I last thought about what music meant to me. Once, when I was young, my dream was to become a pianist. The final notes of the piece faded into silence. He turned to me with a smile. His eyes crinkled, and when he smiled, a pair of dimples appeared. "My name is Julian Scotts. Long time no see, Alice." …I had no memory of anyone named Julian Scotts. But he kept insisting we had met before. "It’s okay if you don’t remember me," he said. "Because one day, you will." Not only did he play the piano with me, but he also brought his handheld console to play games with me.I knew there was something odd about him, maybe even something u

Maybe that was just how he worked—spinning lies into a web and luring me into his trap. He was only deceiving me.Kicking me to the ground, then gripping my throat just to kiss me. The pathetic part was that, for a moment, I had actually forgotten he was the one who pushed me into the abyss. …The commotion outside the hospital room was loud. However, the summer’s warmth, its vibrance, felt completely disconnected from me. Ethan strode in, dragging his sister by the collar. "I’m not apologizing to her! Ethan, you’re taking this too far!" She struggled, twisting in his grip, until he kicked the back of her knee. She nearly collapsed at the foot of my hospital bed. "You—!" She shot me a furious glare. What a ridiculous scene. A senseless spectacle. But I had no interest in entertaining it. And the man standing behind her was an even greater eyesore. So, I shut my eyes, sinking back into the bed, pretending none of it existed. "I'm sorry." In the end, she mut
