The long drive didn’t last that much compared to what I had thought. Perhaps it is just me, but I’d like to believe that Justin intentionally asked the driver to make a stop here knowing that I have been acting distant from him despite how many times he made an attempt to interact with me.“When was the last time you went out to bring me with you?” I suddenly asked.“I actually don’t remember but hey, I’m trying to make it up right?” Justin replied and although I should feel some butterflies in my stomach, I simply couldn’t help but still feel some pain along it.It’s not like I don’t even notice it, however, I am just afraid that if I even made another push to divert my focus into him again that I might not actually be able to get away from it again. Justin had this very strong skill for dominating me.It always makes me wonder why I can’t seem to get away from his dominating presence. It’s like I've always been bound to submit myself to him. What makes things more odd is the fact t
I just feel like I want to completely disappear right now. It took me a little while to realize that Justin was the sole owner of the yacht before the thought occurred to me. “You own all of these as well.” What I'm experiencing right now is remarkably close to the sensation of contracting from my current position. “That’s fine, it’s not something to be proud of really. We already had this car twenty years since this place was even born.” Justin replied.Because of how embarrassed I am right now, I don't even have the courage to become irritated with him. I just can't bring myself to do it.Before turning his attention back to me, Justin had been looking at something on his phone. Suddenly, however, he stopped doing that and looked at me. When he looked at me again, I had the sudden sensation that a hot rush of blood was rapidly splashing within the cheeks of my face. It happened as soon as he laid his eyes on me again. Maybe it's because I've been completely embarrassed that I'm
I had to put on an act of laughing right in front of the saleswoman. Although at the back of my head, I was very pleased that he told her I am his wife. A sign of affirmation that Justin may seem oblivious to my feelings. As soon as I realized that the saleswoman seemed to be believing what I said, given the way that she returned what I said with a shy smile, I quickly prodded Justin at the side for making such a comment.His subsequent actions, however, only made matters worse. Justin grabbed my arm and yanked me to his side as he put his arm around my shoulders. He then added, "Make sure that my wife over here will find comfort in the clothes you'll offer," as if to emphasize the absurdity of the situation.” Almost immediately, Justin made it sound as though I was denying him as my partner to the saleswoman, as he emphasized that I am already his wifee two separate times. This gave off the impression that I was the one lying. Now that he brings it up, I suddenly have no idea how I
Usually, I would shrug off these kinds of occurrences as though they were completely nothing. However, looking at them right at this moment made me all of a sudden feel as though something hidden deep within me is about to blow up any second now.When I opened the door to the other dressing room, which was right next to the one where I tried on my dress, my eyes widened in shock as I saw that it was actually Justin and the saleswoman making out inside. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.I usually only see this in movies, and I can honestly say that not once in my entire life have I ever entertained the thought of actually being able to witness it happening in real life. At this point, the only sensation that I could detect within me was one of complete numbness.At the same time, it feels like a bomb is ticking inside of me, and I'm just waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger so that it can finally go off. And it seems as though that trigger has been pulled apparently by
How was I supposed to answer him at all?“Would you please stop this nonsense, Justin?” I immediately protested followed by getting myself off from Justin’s arms.I couldn’t possibly let him continue to mock me in a way that he would use my emotion against me. It was not fair.“Wait, come back here, Marga!” Justin called for me but I paid him no mind. I took the opportunity to go and leave him. He didn’t expect that I was able to move swiftly. I was even trying to still be cautious in a way because I was scared that something might happen with the child inside my belly. Although for some reason, my belly isn’t that much big compared to other pregnant women at this stage.Which was why even though I finally allowed Justin to have his way and sleep with me, he was still unable to distinguish that I was pregnant.“I will not come back. I’d rather go home.” I replied back while not trying to stop my feet from moving. And yet, Justin was eventually able to come after me within seconds pu
Everything around us went quietly awkward for the next few seconds.Only the sound of other footsteps walking not so distant from us was the only thing that we could hear.Justin, who was just staring at me at the moment, leaves me an unbearable decision of wanting to leave him right away, knowing that nothing would simply result from all of this.“And that’s the reason why we don’t have to talk things out because it would be meaningless anyway. I know that there was no way that you would ever want to continue this marriage. A bond that you so much loathe.” I finally mustered up the courage to finally tell him. Otherwise, I knew that it would only make me more miserable than I already was should I even consider staying here for much longer.And as Justin didn’t even seem to bother saying anything anymore, I was forced to struggle getting his grip off my arms and left him behind. As expected, Justin didn’t even bother to chase after me any more.A DAY PAST and it was the day that ever
I had to forcibly pull my arm off from my mother-in-law’s grip as I replied, “There’s no need for you to brush that off to my face, mother. Again, don’t you think it’s unnecessary that you’re doing this to me while everybody might be staring at us?”With a brief moment, I quickly pulled away my arm enough to make her let go of me.“You should be grateful that there was a party going on,” Mother pressed on me. Her voice was trying to contain the animosity she has for me. She doesn’t have to directly tell it, it was already too obvious with her words.“I’m sorry, mother.” Was then the only words I could say. Unfortunately, t
I longed to release a piercing scream, to confront my mother-in-law and expose her outrageous behavior. Yet, I found myself unable to do so, for the garden was filled with countless guests who would bear witness to my outburst. She could still find reasons to scold me for being a failure if I had truly done something wrong, but my intentions were pure when it came to those cookies.“Weren’t you aware of what you just did, mother?” I finally couldn’t help myself from telling her. I can not help but feel that my mother-in-law has taken things to a whole new level this time."And you are really going to go against me?" Mother gave me a stern look, clearly indicating that she did not want me to go against her.
