Just a word from William is capable of changing her life. She is aware of that. Intentionally or Unintentionally, whatever he says, it affects her with no going back. William has proven that, in his heart, her dead sister only exists. She can't help but feel jealous.But she knows she doesn't have any right to feel jealous when from the very beginning, he was never hers to claim.Sometimes she questions herself, what is actually marriage is? They vow, one-sided. Juliette vowed to give her everything to him to make him happy forever. William vowed with no love, intention of using her as Odette's replacement. Their marriage is always been a broken piece of paper. With no love and promises.However,Juliette loves him. She will always choose him despite everything. She is willing to spend her entire life as her sister's replacement. His replacement bride.Right now, With a gentle touch, she wipes his forehead as he has been sweating a lot. She called a doctor from a local hospital and he
" AHH! Don't press my Adam Apple!" William hisses at her as she tries to trim the beard from his jawline." I am trying, ok? I don't know how to position my hands properly!" She subconsciously pouts as she spreads her legs to stand properly.William sighs and looks at her. " You are really an idiot!"" I am not!" She glares at him" You are ready to cut open my throat."" I AM NOT!" She grunts disappointedly, " Can you just shut up and let me do it?" She hisses back at him this time.William exhales sharply closing his eyes and letting her do whatever she wants. However, he opens his eyes wondering what's happening with them. Knowingly or unknowingly both of them are making fun of each other. His eyes shift on her, as she is trying her best to do it clearly. Trying to start the familiar feelings of hatred towards her, but instead of feeling like hating her, his mind tells him to 'let it be', ' She didn't do anything wrong'." Hey!" Juliette calls him, after being done with his jaws.
" Juliette! Where did you put my navy blue tie? I can't find it in the drawer!" William shouts from the bedroom while searching for the tie." Have you looked at the second drawer? I put it in the second drawer!" She shouts back while changing her dress inside the bathroom." How many times have I told you to keep my things in the right place? When will you learn?" He mutters, annoyingly wearing the blue shirt. Juliette sighs as she gently rubs the purple bruise on her arm. The blood has been clotting there recently." I am sorry!" She can't help. The thing she has been scared of facing is showing up. She forgets things from time to time." We have meetings at 11 am. After that, we will leave for my Dad's! So be prepared. If you tell me that you forgot to take anything necessary, I won't be back to grab it!" He warns since he's been noticing her being forgetful." Um! Can... Can I not attend?"" Don't!" He shuts her as she walks out of the bathroom, " You will attend the party with m
Julie's POV..." You're a terrible brother and Lover! Not only have you left the house because of that woman but also you are so comfortable with her! Have you forgotten about Odette already?" Susan confronts, And I know the reason behind this.After reading the message, I don't know how I felt but William immediately grabbed his phone after my expression. And it was the very first reaction he gave in front of me, A positive, warm and lovely." Don't mind this!" He said, and I know when he always ignored every time people talked bad about me, even when we were in the restaurant, he didn't even care about defending me against his friend's mockery. These words of comfort are something that I will always appreciate. However, now, seeing him facing his sister's hatred, I can't help but feel bad.William doesn't love me. He won't love me ever. After all, while burying my sister, buried his love with her. There is no room for me in his heart. He is clear with his words. He is keeping me a
When William looked around the dining table and Juliette wasn't there, instead of being worried, he felt a strong urge to confront her. He called her twice and texted multiple times. But she was unreachable. Almost with a sour and bitter taste in his mouth, he somehow spent the party with his parents who actually pointed out how she neglected her duty as Daughter-in-law of the Fernandez family. After sending everyone away, William decided to grab some clothes from his room and now he walks in.The time has clicked on midnight, he can't stay over since Juliette will be all alone there. Hate or love, she is his responsibility, he must know his responsibility.After grabbing some comfortable clothes, he walks towards the bed to turn the table lamp off until his eyes shift on the bed. The purple-colored phone case gets his attention as well as his nerves to worry. Juliette's phone is always been here and she is nowhere to find.Checking the phone, he rushes downstairs. Didn't even bother
His eyes open when he finds the blanket over him is being pulled from behind. To ensure what is going on, he places his hand on the right side of the bed, feeling Juliette's emptiness on her side. However, his eyes slowly shift over Juliette who with closed eyes, crawls into the bed. Confused with her position, he turns to face her until he flinches when she opens her eyes." What... What the hell?" He says almost got scared of her sudden eyes open. After giving her a ten-minute cold shower, she fell asleep soundly. Since he was exhausted too, he fell asleep soon after. However seeing her staring at him like a ghost, he can't help but swallow. " Go... Go to your side!" He says trying to avert his eyes. It's awkward that her big eyes are on him without blinking.But his eyebrows raise, face expresses surprise when she moves his hand from his chest and rests her head on his chest. With a cute pout, she starts snoring softly soon after." What...?" He sighs heavily, spreading his hands
" Sign it! You are free!" Her quivering lips part away with disbelief, unable to look at the towering body that is standing before her eyes." Sign as soon as possible. Do you think you deserve someone like my brother?" " C'mon! You don't deserve anything. You should just free us from the curse. William deserves someone better, like her. An observant, talented and slim girl. Sign the divorce paper or-" She gasps waking up with sweat all over her body. She exhales, realizing what she experienced is nothing but a nightmare which is going to happen soon.When her eyes open, she smells a soft, appetizing and delicious scent coming from the kitchen. Her stomach grumbles reminding her that she hasn't had any food since yesterday afternoon. Wiping the sweat off, she sits up and gets off the bed.With slow steps, she walks out of the bedroom, finding William placing the salad on the plate while the meat stew is on the stove. They are giving away the deliciousness. After a long time, she want
The food he made is something that she ate without wasting a single grain. It's a once in millions of chance to happen even in her dream world where she is happy with him. She can't ruin, miss or skip such a chance. And thankfully, now she feels much better. Although William isn't home for some urgent matters, she waters the plants and collects some flowers for the living room. She doesn't have any idea that including Susan and her friends facing legal action for trying to hurt her and using weeds. All she knows is William has an important job to do.The evening soon falls, and the coldness increases with her temperature. She knew she would have the fever once again. Although William noticed because of last night, it's her regular occurrence. She always burns herself in a fever.Anyway, after spending the evening in the garden, enjoying the fresh air, she grabs the phone and the tray with an empty mug and heads towards the door until her eyes meet someone certain.William didn't tak
