Prologue

People who are married had a rose-tinted marriage life, but it wasn’t the case for me. It was more like a prison and gray-colored underground for me. Marriage was supposed to be filled by love and care, but mine was filled with hatred and suffering. I wasn’t treated right, nor taken care off. I was married to a cold-hearted man who never even looked at me with love or even concern; he was just a busy man who only seeks for my assistance when he need to have an intimate moments with.

“Miss Cresenia, handa na po ang pagkain. Pinapatawag na din kayo ni Sir Adrien nasa dining din po kasi siya.” Napapikit ako at bumuntong hininga at isinirado ang librong binabasa ko bago ilapag sa bed side table. Tinignan ko muna ang mukha ko sa salamin at inayos ang itim na buhok.

I need to look presentable towards him, dahil kung hindi ay malalagot ako sa kanya. I have a thin eyebrows, hazel-colored eyes, long eye-lashes, small but pointy nose, rosy cheeks and a reddish lips. I also have a very nice figure, and have a porcelain skin. When I felt presentable enough I went down and entered the dining hall.

“What took you so long?” My cold-hearted husband asked.

His right hand was simply playing with the fork and with that small action his hands immediately showed some veins. Idagdag mo pa na medyo maputi siya kaya mas kita yung mga ugat sa kamay niya, his hair was all messy but he looks hot in it, he has a pointed nose, softly tinted lips, thick eyebrows, a masculine jaw line, a long eye-lashes and very cold set of chocolate colored eyes. He was wearing a button down long-sleeve polo shirt that was tucked in his black pants. Naka-bukas ang dalawang butones sa kanyang ipang-itaas.

“I’m sorry, I was reading a book and fix myself before going down to dine with you.” I said in a low but very gentle voice.

“I hate being late, you always knew that. Sit down and let’s start eating, I’m hungry.” He said in a monotone voice, umupo na ako at nagsimula na kaming kumain ng tahimik. We’re eating in peace when all of the sudden one of the maids accidentally slipped and broke the bowl that was filled up with soup.

I immediately went up to her to help the maid and bended my knees to pick up the pieces of the shattered bowl, I heard Adrien sighed and minutes later spoke.

“That bowl costs more than your life, yet your clumsiness broke it within seconds? You’re supposed to do your job properly, hindi yung tatanga-tanga ka!” pagalit na sigaw ni Adrien.

“Sorry po, sir! Babayaran ko na lang po.” Na-iiyak na sabi ng kawawang maid. I stepped in because his words are too much.

“Adrien, hindi niya sinasadya. Nadulas lang siya and hindi naman niya hiniling na madulas siya. Don’t be too harsh on a maid, mapapalitan naman yan.” I said while maintaining a calm voice, even though I was slowly fuming in anger because of his words towards the maid. But that was a wrong move; it made his anger ignited in an instant. He drank some water and wiped his mouth with a table cloth before walking towards me and towering over me.

“Are you defending a maid?” he asked in a low and very dangerous tone. I gulped and looked down before answering.

“Yes, I am.” I simply said.

“In the bedroom, now.” He whispering commanded in a husky voice. I bit my lip and looked at the maid who was looking at me worriedly; I gave her a small smile before leaving the dining hall and went to the bedroom.

I patiently waited, praying that the maid wasn’t harshly punished over a bowl. Minutes later, he came in to the room and began approach me. With aggression, he held my arms and pushed me onto the bed. I lay there as he immediately climbed on top of me, hovering over me with lust and anger in his eyes.

“You seriously chose to defend that maid over me?” he stared at me darkly and it sent shivers into my spine. I lifted my hand to push him but he immediately caught my wrists tightly and pinned it down above my head. “You’re fighting back, huh? Let’s see if you can still fight back after what I’m going to do with you. And since my meal got disturb, I’ll proceed to the dessert.”

His lips met mine within seconds, it wasn’t a gently one it was a very harsh one. He even bit my lower lip which made me gasped and gave him access to explore every inch of my mouth. I let out a small moan, I tried to get out of his grasps but he was way stronger than me.

His kisses went down from my lips to my neck and even went down even further, which made me reluctantly feel the pleasure that he was giving. The tension between us become more intimate as each second passed, naging malikot na din ang isang kamay niya dahil nararamdaman ko na kung saan-saan na dumadapo ang libreng kamay niya sa katawan ko. I bit my lower lip to suppress my moans, pero nakakawala pa rin ito mula sa mga bibig ko.

I was lost by the pleasure and burning lust that I was feeling that I didn’t even noticed that I don’t even have clothes on; even undergarments are removed by him. Naghubad na siya and position himself between my legs, I just looked at him weakly waiting for him to do his next move. Without any warning, he inserted his manhood and move roughly inside me. The only noise inside our bedroom was our bodies colliding together and the moans that I produced, and that lasted until the sun rises.

I was covering myself with a blanket while sitting on the bed, and he on the other hand was all dressed up for work. I couldn’t move that much because I’m absolutely sore and I’m so weak at the moment dahil hindi ako nakatulog dahil sa ginawa niya sa akin kagabi. Lumapit siya sa akin at marahas na hinawakan ang mukha ko habang madilim na nakatingin sa akin.

“Your only role here is to serve me, not playing a hero in each and everyone who’s under my roof. So stay quiet and do your fucking job as my wife.” He whispered. Marahas na binitawan niya ang mukha ko at lumabas ng kwarto, napapikit nalang ako at pinigilan kong umiyak.

This is what my marriage life looks like; it will never be rose-tinted marriage life, because I’ll be forever in his mercy.

I’ll be in his whispering command.
