MY ARRANGED HUSBAND IS THE MAN I CHEAT ON HIM WITH CHAPTER THIRTY ONE
- LORELEI -A deep breath barely escaped my lungs with a sharp pain in my chest. I groaned softly. After struggling to breathe for so long in this position, the pain has become something I got used to. The wind is cold and ticklish on my skin yet harsh on my sores. My vision is too blurry to see the change of the day but I can tell that the night is getting darker. Time is whiling away and I have lost the will to stay alive. Help is not coming. No one would want to help a stranger deserted in the middle of nowhere. I am not loved. Not by my contracted husband, not by my birth father, not by my step mother. The people who do care about me.... I haven't been in contact with them since my wedding... since I heard I was getting sold off... they don't even know anything about me now. My head feels light but my body feels heavy. I can hear a faint sound leave my nose with every breath. No one cares... no one will come even if they're notified that I'm in danger... My fate was sealed
MY ARRANGED HUSBAND IS THE MAN I CHEAT ON HIM WITH CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
- ACE -I am sitting on the sofa in the living room, scrolling through channels on the TV uninterestedly. My house has always been quiet but all of a sudden it seems too quiet. Way too quiet and I don't need to wonder why that is. My throat creased. I miss her. I never thought I would but I do. Heck, I miss annoying her. I miss her reactions to my shitty behaviour towards her. I always thought that if something bad happened to her I wouldn't care but I was wrong. So damn wrong. Someone walks to my side but I didn't turn to look at who. I already know who it is. It's Rebecca. Ever since that night I arrived home drunken, I've left her in charge of my meals. "Young master, your meal is ready." She said. "I'm not hungry." I responded without sparing her a gaze, still flipping through channels with a bored look on my face. I lost appetite two weeks ago. The only reason why I even eat these days is because of Isabel. That woman has done more than she is paid to do. I appreciate that. "

- LORELEI -The x-ray was done. Twice in fact. These doctors are taking care of me like their lives depend on it. It feels nice to be pampered more than usual in a hospital but I can't help but feel guilty about it. I remember when I could barely afford certain things and blessed the lord for my national insurance because at least I could meet book hospital appointments and get prescriptions. Not being able to afford drugs is one of the reasons I decided to open a pharmacy. So mother doesn't have to get abused by Richard first whenever she got sick. Yet here I am being treated like I'm worth something. Even the largeness and condition of the room makes it clear that it costs a lot of money. Money that's not mine. My whole body hurts so I'm glad I could at least afford treatment because I dread to think what would've happened to me. I can't remember when I fainted or how I got here, I just know I woke up here. And I've been asleep for two weeks. I giggled. Just the thought makes me

- ACE -I'm in my car, driving at full speed. It's wrong and I will most likely be stopped or followed by a police officer but I'm headed to their station anyway. Lorelei is okay. Maybe not in the best condition but at least she's fine, knowing that makes my heart be at ease. Just last week, the doctors didn't know how long she'll be in coma, everyone anticipated she'll be in bed for a few months to a few years but I guess miracles do happen. I wish miracles happened a lot sooner in my life and maybe, just maybe, I would've turned out to be different. "You need to calm down, Ace, we're not in a car race." Isabel warned. Her voice is shaky. Don't you think I know that? I ask in my head, Don't you think I'm aware that I'm risking just not mine, but other people's lives as well while driving at such speed? Someone was behind this accident and I need to know who. I need to let that person understand that in America there are two things which instill fear and order. One is the law, an

- ACE - The car came to a halt, followed by a lot of ear scraping noises and honks. My chest is heaving as I breathe heavily. I'm alive. My body is intact and so far, there's no air bag or broken glass pieces anywhere. I raise my head up from the steering wheel to look ahead of me. Although cars are parked in an unusual way on the road, the truck was slant into a different direction just an inch away from my vehicle. Oh thank goodness. That was so close and so very risky. I took my seat belt off and walked out. I don't want no arguments and there is no justification for my actions. I was so blinded by guilt that I would've killed people today. And on purpose while putting Isabel's life in danger. If that truly happened, I'll hate myself even more. I don't even care about myself, but I do about the people I care about. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean-" A sharp exhaled left my lips as I run my hands through my hair. So much is on my mind right now and I am so fucking frustrated. "It's

- LORELEI -I grit my teeth for the tenth time tonight. Who knew being alone on a hospital bed with nothing to do but watch movies and snack could be so boring? It's supposed to be the dream for an adult. I mean, I have money without even working and everyone here acts like if I sneeze, the whole world will collapse. I giggle. This will change when they realise that my husband and I aren't the perfect couple the media sees us to be and they have a chance to seduce him. If he gets interested in them, that is. A second wife wouldn't be such a bad thing, she can keep annoying or entertaining him while I do whatever the fuck I want. My jaw tightened. For a reason, that doesn't sit right with me. I don't think I want there to be a second wife. Not because I want him for myself, but because I don't want to be my mother 2.0. In a respectful way of course. Someone walks in and I avert my gaze to the door. I expected to see Ace and that stylist of his but it's Jackie, the nurse. I roll my

- ACE -My greatest fear was satisfied by going to the station. Whoever attacked Lorelei that night was sent to attack me but the police couldn't decode who it was. There were no finger prints in the scene and someone or more people, managed to burn my car at the scene into ashes despite all their safety measures to stop that. The only thing that was left unscathed from the scene are the things they retrieved the night they found Lorelei and brought them for investigation but they have found nothing from it. Nothing at all. I find the wait as a waste of time because nothing came out of it. This shit took them two weeks? The timing was very convenient or I'd have lost it. I sighed, tilting my head to the side to stare at the zip plug bag on the seat of my car containing the letter. I haven't read it yet but I will once I get out of this car. And I don't know when that'll be. Another sigh escape my lips as I lean my head on the chair of my car deep in thought. I don't know what to d

- LORELEI - Sun rays reflected on my closed eyelids, causing my brows to crease. I specifically requested that the curtains be shut when I'm having an afternoon nap but I guess some people just choose to be deaf. I groaned. "Please shut the windows." I say sleepily, turning to the other side. Although now rays aren't blaring straight on my face, I can feel the heat on my body. It must be terribly hot outside. I heard footsteps. I really don't want to stand up and do it myself nor do I want to open my eyes and chase the sleep away. "Jackie?" I yawn. "Please shut the curtains. It makes me uncomfortable." I heard the sound of shoes hit the ground and I assumed she did as I requested till everywhere was silent and my back was still frying because of this thin hospital clothing! I should've known better than to ask whoever that is. The person just walked away like I was insignificant!I drew my bed cover over my back to my neck. I'm hot but it's better than getting fried. I need some ai

- ACE - Three. I counted in my head, with my head bowed down and my forehead resting in front of my intertwined fingers. My elbow is leaning on the table and my arm comes together, forming an angle on the surface of the table. I exhaled. Two. I can feel my heart beat slowly and hear the sound of each beat so loudly in my ears. In one second, the percentage of the votes deciding the fate of my company will be revealed. One. My eyelids slid open as I mutter a silent prayer, raising my head up to see above my fingers and stare at the large screen. I'm in a meeting. Every year, in the middle of June, a meeting is held amongst the co-owners of the Salvatore family enterprises. Despite my influence in the outside world, when it comes down to it, I have to share the company with my relatives. I hate it but I have no choice. For now. I've successfully bought 35% of their shares, added to mine, it gives me 45% meaning I'm still at a disadvantage but my relatives don't know that. They do

- LORELEI -Isabel didn't say anything to me since then. We walked to the car silently, and now, we're even on the road and haven't said a single word to each other since. Although she tried to come off as calm, I can tell that she's tensed. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, tapping my fingers on my thighs. I'm sat in the passenger seat and a seat belt is firm around me. I thought that after my accident, I wouldn't drive a car again or get in one, and even if, I'll be in the back seat with a lot of padding for security but I guess I was wrong. That was just the fear speaking. My car fever vanished the moment I saw Isabel's car. She is smoking rich. At least her car says so. I wonder if she's independent and if she is, I wonder how she got here. It's something I'd love to talk about being a jobless woman myself but we never got to talk. I think I ruined our chances the moment I asked about Catherine but her reaction to my question doesn't

- LORELEI -I gasp a whole lot of air through my nostrils as I stare out the window. The time has come for me to stop putting on this hospital wear and stop eating hospital food, and not having several drips and drugs and casts all over my body. I can finally walk and move without any body ache. I have heard about people with broken bones before but I never thought I'd be one of them. An advice? Avoid anything that'll lead to injuries, despite the adrenaline rush. I learnt that the hard way, although my situation was different. A smile formed on my face. I'm tempted to run around the hospital and scream 'FUCK YOU BITCHES, I'M OUT OF HERE!' while holding my middle finger up high to everyone I pass by, be it nurse, other staff members, patients and visitors but I'm too mature for that. Or not. I took another deep breath of the fresh air. This time, I stretch my arms out the window. I'm enjoying the being healthy already! I'll finally be rid of the hospital smell. A fresh scent fill

- ACE - My brows creased as I slowly drifted my eyes open. The room is warm and the air is moisturised. I spread my fingers and let it sink into the sheet. I'm laying on something soft. It didn't take me a second to realise that I'm on a bed. Someone squeezed water out of something. I didn't have time to look at who it is before a damp cloth made it's way to my face, wiping my face before laying on my forehead. I grabbed the wrist of the person holding the cloth before the person could take their hands off my face. A soft gasp escaped her lips. "You're awake." Hearing her voice made my heart feel at ease. "You're here." I responded. Isabel took her hands out of my grip. I couldn't see what she was doing because I'm laying down flat with my face facing the ceiling but I heard water splashes. Another cloth rested on my chest. She wiped me gently. I hissed because of how cold it feels on my skin. "What happened to me?" "I don't know. You had already fainted before I arrived. I just c

- ACE -The line went dead, again. I sigh as I rang her phone again. I'm alone again. Desperately in need for a hug or some sort of comfort but there's no one here. I fold my hand on the table and lean my head on my arm. It will be easy to bring a random woman from anywhere if I wanted to but that's not what I want right now. I want to be with someone that I know. Someone who actually cares about me. Not a slut or anyone else. "The number you dialed, is unreachable at the moment. You can leave a voice message at the end of this ring. It comes with charges. If you wish to stop, end the call now, but if you wish to proceed, please leave a message after this beep." I sigh as the automatic response played, waiting for the beep. I finally heard it and groaned. "Isabel, please, call me. I know you're mad at me and I know I am not worthy to call you right now or request anything. I want you to know I'm really sorry. I hate myself for doing that. Please forgive me. If you're listening to t

- LORELEI -"Yeah, sure. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt." I roll my eyes and remove my head from his fingers. Miss you my foot. "And stop touching my face like you own it." I sneered. "My skin care routine is expensive." I murmured under my breath, keeping my tone low, hoping he wouldn't hear that. "Skin care?" Ace scoffed and I roll my eyes. "I can buy all your favourite brands for you." That made my heart beat faster. My eyes widened and I didn't know it did till they felt sore, that's when I blinked and eased the tension off my eyes. This man is the definition of proud, no wonder he has acquaintances who hate him. My jaw tightened. No wonder people like Catherine waltz into my room, hoping for a dead wife because she obviously wants Ace to experience misery. I sigh and rest my back back on the pillows resting at the start of my bed. I snickered. "Yeah, buy earth too. It'll add a touch to your prideful ass." I joked. My response was not necessary but how much can I stress
