Married To The Jinx 28 Do You Not Like My Abs?
ADELE I walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower and Chris went in immediately. I raised a brow at the closed bathroom door before shrugging and going into the walk-in closet to get dressed up instead. I was done in no time and I hung the bathrobe I used to dry and went to bed. The door to the bathroom finally opened and I looked toward it. Chairs walked out majestically with a towel wrapped around his lower body and I took my eyes off him immediately. My heart started beating fast when my head moved on its own to look at the man standing not far away from me with his hands drying his hair with a towel. Water trailed down from his hair over his face, only to join with the water on his face and the journey continued. I gulped as I trailed that bead of water down to his chest and down those muscular abs on his stomach. It took a rough path going lower and it suddenly went down that v line and into the skin underneath the towel. My throat went dry as I stared at that par
Married To The Jinx 29 A Cold Bath
ADELE Chris went into the bathroom and I finally thought of what just happened. I gasped as I held my right hand over my mouth. I did that? I did that with Chris! How? What? Why?! I picked up my pajama trouser from the floor as well and put it on immediately. I stared that the door of the bathroom and I gulped. How am I going to face him? I had been so brave and bold during that intimate time we shared. I dropped onto the bed and sighed deeply before pulling the thick blanket over my body. I don't know why I feel like what happened is not a wrong thing but still wrong at the same time. It should be a normal thing between Chris and me actually since we are married but I am so scared. I have never had sex with anyone before and I heard it can be pretty painful. 'Is this what you had in mind before agreeing to this marriage?', a voice suddenly said in my head and my head throbbed immediately. That's true. I shouldn't be doing this with Chris. I love Daniel, right? Isn't th
Married To The Jinx 30 I Will Miss You
ADELE "We should go out someday", Chris said as he dipped his hand into the bowl of popcorn on my lap. Chris had insisted on making popcorn for the movie and I willingly agreed and helped too. The lights are off right now and the television is the only thing emitting light. "Why?", I asked with a frown as I turned to look at him but his face is blue from the display on the television screen. "It's a normal thing couples do almost every time, Adele", Chris replied in a boring tone and I faintly saw him roll his eyes at me. "Mm", I hummed in a not-so-nice way and his head snapped toward me immediately. He turned to look at the television immediately his eyes met my angry face I scoffed before turning to face the television as well. "Am I the only one who finds this movie extremely boring?", I asked with a sigh. "Yes, you are the only one and that's because you are not paying attention to the movie", Chris stated. "As always", he added after a while and I rolled my eyes at
Married To The Jinx 31 Congratulatory Ceremony
ADELE 'He chuckled and I looked down at my hands. I looked back up and my eyes went wide a little bit when I looked in the mirror. What the fuck is Chris doing?!' The hair at the right side of my head has come loose and it is now cascading down the side of my face, directly on my ear. I can remember the amount of time Vivian spent styling that hair into a neat and perfect bun. She used a lot of pins to make it look beautiful. "What are you doing?", I asked with a frown on my face and Chris stopped immediately as he looked at me with that guilty eyes. I saw him look down at my hair once again and before I could say anything, I felt my hair go loose instantly. "Chris!", I screamed out immediately as I brought my hand up to my head. He has removed all the pins from my hair. I can't believe this. "What?!", he countered back in a very strong tone and it took me by surprise. I turned my body around to look properly at him with a glare on my face. "I- I-", he started incohere
Married To The Jinx 32 Break Us Apart
ADELE "I like you both the same way and in the same quantity", I said and they both smiled. "But not up to the way I like my husband", I added thoughtlessly but the smile that appeared on Chris's mother's face was indeed priceless. She looked like she had gotten all she had ever wanted in the world. "Uhm- can I get your attention, please?", the master of the ceremony suddenly said, getting all the attention of the people in the room, and everywhere went silent instantly. "Introducing the new Chief Executive Officer of the most popular appliances-making company in the country", he continued after everyone has their gazes on him. "Christopher Marvin!", he announced and Chris appeared on stage with a microphone in his hand, earning thunderous applause from everyone, including myself. "Good day everyone. I am Christopher Marvin", Chris started and everyone cheered him on with claps once again. "I just wanted to thank you all for coming out-", he started but the words seem to go
Married To The Jinx 33 I Hate You!
ADELE "What's going on here?!", Chris asked in annoyance and I turned my head quickly to look at him. He looks furious. So furious and his stone-cold face is staring at me. "Uh-", Aunty started in a whimpering tone. "We were just having a small disagreement, it's nothing", she explained firmly and I turned my head to look at her in surprise. She is looking at Chris with that sweet signature smile of hers on her face. Thank goodness I now know it's fake. "We are cool", she added before turning to look at me. "Right, Adele?", she asked, smiling at me with a smile I am very familiar with and my head went into jumbles. What exactly is going on? Did I imagine everything? One minute she was acting all bitchy- dare I say- towards me. And now, she is all sweet again. She feels like a robot right now. Like she has been programmed to do all that she is doing. "Adele?", Chris strained yet unfamiliar voice called out to me and I snapped out of my piercing gaze or stare toward Uncle
Married To The Jinx 34 I Don't Want To Talk To You, Adele
ADELE I can boldly say the dinner I had with Chris this evening was the worse dinner I have had with him since we started living together. He just served me my food and walked out, he did not even have anything. So, I guess I had dinner all alone. I would admit to the fact that I am still angry at him but he looks annoyed too and that is somehow making me more furious at him. I mean, I am the one who is supposed to be that angry at him. He had spewed that nonsense right to my face and I just acted how I saw fit. My head turned sharply towards the door when it sounded and I saw Chris walk in. I had not seen him since he served me dinner and I had taken my shower already, preparing to sleep. He headed towards the shower immediately after he came in and I pushed myself comfortably under the duvet as well. Even I do not have the time to banter with him again this evening. I had started falling asleep when I felt the bed go down due to Chris's weight. I want to tell him not to sle
Married To The Jinx 35 Adele Likes Me
CHRISTOPHER Even though I am quite proud of my decision, I still did it. I successfully ignored Adele for a whole week. I need her to understand how hurt I felt by what she said to me. I mean, how could she compare me to Daniel? I thought I was starting to get a chance in her life, a place in her heart, but it turned out that he is all she thinks about. If he isn't, then he would not have come up during our argument at all. Today is Saturday but I decided to just work from home. I have to find a way to end this fight with Adele too. I have gotten so immersed in it, that I do not know how I am going to stop anymore. Adele has been trying to reconcile with me since Tuesday but I have not given in to her. It is saddening that now that I am ready to reconcile, she has stopped asking me to forgive her. Stopped asking me to talk to her. I sighed as I walked down the hallway. I had a quiet breakfast with Adele this morning but all I did during breakfast was stare at her. She did not s

Married To The Jinx EPILOGUE
ADELEIt's been a week since the competition. Everything is back to normal and Chris has even gotten up to prepare for work today as well.Oh yes, Bianca's modeling job went down because of what happened at the competition. Apparently, someone had been filming all that happened. She got out of the police jail not long after she was placed in it but I think she has learnt her lesson. Chris walked out of the walk-in closet and I sat up immediately to look at him. I felt a sharp headache and I hissed. Chris got in front of me- at the foot of the bed- in no time as he asked. "Hey, are you okay?" I pushed my hand in front of him to tell him to stop talking. I don't know where this headache came from all of a sudden. "Yeah, I am fine," I replied with a smile as I looked up at Chris. My stomach started making some disturbance and I winced when I suddenly got a stomach ache. I bent forward on my seat on the bed as I clenched the cloth holding my stomach tightly in my hand. "Adele?""So
Married To The Jinx 86 Art Competition Winners
ADELE"So, why did you do it? Why did you take my artwork?" I asked and she moved in the tight grip of the investigator. She brought her face in front of mine as she spat those foolish, unkind words. "Because I hate you," she replied as she looked into my eyes and I frowned. She moved back as a loud hysterical laugh escaped her lips. The investigators moved his feet while he pulled Bianca after him. She stopped laughing all of a sudden and screamed at the top of her voice. "I can walk on my own!" She demanded to the investigator who held on to her right arm and he let her go immediately. She walked in the front while the two investigators walked behind her. I released a deep breath as they went out of my sight. Chris arrived backstage with the two men who had collected my artwork from me outside the hotel yesterday. They were both carrying my artwork."You are here," I said as he reached in front of me and he nodded. "And let's welcome Mrs. Marvin to the stage!" I heard the Ma
Married To The Jinx 85 Bianca Stole Adele's Painting
ADELEThe investigators arrived some moments later in a black round-neck top and jean trousers. Two of them went into the hotel while others stayed inside the car, not far away from the hotel. I welcomed them into my hotel room and shut the door. I am only thankful that the event has started, so all the artists are in there. Chris asked me to take my seat on the bed while the two investigators stood in front of me. Chris stood on my left, not far away from the bed and not far away from the investigators. "When last did you see the artwork, Mrs. Marvin?" The nice and calm looking one of the investigators asked. "Uh, yesterday afternoon when I brought it here in my husband's car," I replied and the other one wrote something down. "Your husband explained to us that two men collected the artwork from you," he said and I nodded. "That's right," I replied and the other man wrote something down again. "Can you describe those men?"I nodded and tried to make a good description of them
Married To The Jinx 84 Adele's Artwork Has Gone Missing
ADELE"Bianca?" I asked as I squinted my eyes at her and she giggled. "Surprise!" She said back cheerfully and I furrowed my brows at her. What is wrong with her?"Oh right, I did not know you would be here as well," she added in her normal self as she slanted her lips at me. I must say, she is still looking beautiful as always. "What are you doing here?" I asked and she sighed. "I am here for the art competition," she replied and my mouth went round in surprise. I thought she was a model, how can she be here? Or does she perhaps paint as well?"Wha-? How?" I let out uncontrollably and she chuckled again. "Well, I might have lied to my new boyfriend that I know how to paint. Then, he signed me up for this and here I am," she said with a shrug and I nodded at her words knowingly. Well, that sounds like her. "Nice to see you again then," I greeted as I forced a smile at her and she smiled back instantly."Same here," she replied and I hummed before getting into my room. "I wil
Married To The Jinx 83 Chris Visits At Night
ADELE"Chris? What are you doing here?" I asked with my eyes wide in surprise. "Can I come in?" He asked and I moved away from the door immediately. "Of course," I replied as Chris pushed his body in with a sigh. I closed the door and turned around to look at Chris immediately. "I called your phone," he said with a sigh as he sat down at the edge of the bed. "My phone is dead," I replied as I moved forward and stood in front of him. "Oh, I got so worried though," he breathed under his breath and I took my seat beside him. "I know"Chris pulled me into a hug immediately I sat down and I gasped in surprise. I became comfortable in his arms and just hugged him back tightly. "I missed you," he breathed into my neck and I chuckled. "I missed you too," I replied as I rubbed his back with my right hand. We stayed like that for a short while before he finally let me go slowly. "How are you?" He asked as he held my hands in both of his. "I am fine," I replied with a small smile on
Married To The Jinx 82 The Shock Of The Evening
ADELE"My artwork?" She asked and I nodded. "Some guys asked for my painting when I got in front of the hotel-," I started panicking as I explained but she cut me off midway. "Oh, those guys. I forgot about them," she replied and I took in a deep breath, waiting for her to continue. "They collected mine as well, saying they had somewhere allocated for each artwork," she added and I released the breath I was holding. "I guess that is how it works then," I said with a smile and she nodded. "Yeah"She faced the stage before turning to look at me again. "I am Veronica," she introduced herself as she stretched her hand which had three rings on them towards me. "Wow," I said out in amazement anyways and her expression turned into one of deep confusion. "You have the same name as my younger sister, that's all," I replied quickly before taking her hand. "I am Adele, Adele Marvin," I said proudly and her eyes widened. "I knew you looked familiar," she said cheerfully with a huge smil
Married To The Jinx 81 Adele's Artwork Might Have Been Stolen
ADELE"He knew my name, it was pretty weird," I came out to Chris as I furrowed my brows at the direction the men had gone in. "Oh?" Chris asked back and I turned to look at him. "Yeah," I nodded and Chris raised a brow. "You realize that is not strange, right?" Chris asked with a chuckle and I frowned in confusion. "And how is it not?" "Because you are pretty popular. At least, a bit." Chris explained before using his index and thumb to hold his jaw as if he was thinking about something."Uhn?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. I am still confused. He brought his focus back to me before explaining more clearly, "You are Mrs. Marvin, remember?" He asked and my mouth went round in shape in realization. "Oh yeah! Yeah, that's true. I almost forgot," I said the last sentence as a silly joke as I chuckled but I don't think Chris understands. He is looking at me in surprise and confusion at the same time. "Come on, I have to get my baggage out of the car," I said as I hit him playful
Married To The Jinx 80 Rest Assured, Mrs. Marvin
ADELEIt's finally a day before the day of the competition and I am very excited about it. Chris is carrying the little baggage I packed into the car. The baggage contains the little necessities I might be needing during my stay there. He returned to the art room and I took my gaze off the covered artwork- that is standing against the wall- to him."I seriously can't peep at it?" Chris asked and I rejected the idea immediately. "No! It is going to be a big surprise," I replied with a tired sigh. "Help me get it out of the house?" I asked and he walked closer to where I stood. "Sure!" He replied before holding the artwork from his side. He tried lifting his side and he dropped it back down instantly. My eyes widened in fear when I heard that slight sound it made against the tiled floor. "Don't you dare hurt that thing, Chris, or I am going to get angry at you," I warned with a frown on my face as I pointed my index finger at Chris and he chuckled. "I seriously don't know why you
Married To The Jinx 79 Hungry For Each Other
ADELEI have moved back into my art room since the moment I started working on this competition project. I don't want Chris to see what I am making or it would ruin the big surprise. The competition or event is in two weeks and Chris has really been helping me a lot. He has been buying all the art supplies I ask for while I collect them from him, just at the door of the art room. Then, I shut the door right in his face. It had been fun to shut the door in his face in the beginning but now, I miss him so much, that I close the door slowly. A knock sounded on the door and I raised my head from the painting quickly. Chris is here. When did he get back from work?I dropped my brush in a can before walking to the door. I pulled it open and Chris's face appeared in front of me. "Hey," I breathed out and he smiled. "Hey," he replied before pushing his hands into his pocket. "Dinner is ready," he added as he took his left hand out of his pocket and pointed behind him. "Oh oh, I will b
