WARMING THE BED OF MY BROTHER-IN-LAW

On my eighteenth birthday, I not only got broken up with but also learned of my ex-boyfriend’s plans to marry my older sister. Keen to find out the truth, I went to the man responsible for my aching heart and confronted him about the news.“What do you think you’re doing, Noah?” I cried out, failing to handle the emotional turmoil that stirred within me.Rising from his chair, he opened up his arms as he walked towards me to embrace me, “How are you doing, sister-in-law?”“Don’t you think you’re going too far, Noah?” I asked, hyperventilating. “What did I do to deserve this betrayal?”“Betrayal? Are you sure you’re the victim here?” questioned Noah, lacking empathy, something I didn’t know he was capable of. “Who do you think should be blamed here for everything?”“What do you mean?” I asked, clenching my fists to contain my anger.Crossing his arms, he asked me, “Where were you the night before? Or, perhaps, should I ask who you spent your last night with?”“I was in my sister’s apar

As the sun’s rays kissed the horizon, casting a golden warm hue over the translucent curtains, I stirred a little, still very much asleep. Slowly, my eyes fluttered open, greeted by the vastness of the luxurious room I found myself in.The bed, an opulent piece of furniture, provided me with immense comfort with its bouncy mattress and soft covers. With confusion being the only feeling prevalent in my head, I sat up, allowing the sheets to fall to reveal my bare body, which helped uncover the reason for the soreness in my body. There was blood between my thighs and visible bruises and love bites all over my body.Oblivious to what had happened to me the previous night, I looked around me to observe not a single soul, but an empty room adorned with elegant furniture and exquisite paintings. Scanning the breathtaking walls, I mumbled, “Where am I? Who brought me here?”I swung my legs to the left periphery of the bed and then put them down on the floor with the softest rug. When I final

With his hands on the collar of my bathrobe, he brought his face closer to mine. He then delivered a wet and uncomfortable kiss on the cheek before reminding me, “It will be in your greatest interest not to reveal anything about the previous night to your sister if you don’t wish to get thrown out of your house.”Having been reminded of the repercussions that would follow the revelation of this borrowed intimacy, I couldn’t argue with him anymore. Instead, I pushed him away with all my might and rushed towards the door to get away from the rich and spoiled heir, who I knew had nothing but perverted intentions regarding me, something that was clarified by his lascivious gaze.Fortunately, the guy didn’t order anybody to follow me or stop me from leaving the premises, which was why I wasn’t interrupted on my way out of the property. Since the mansion was surrounded by huge patches of grassy land, it took me almost twenty minutes to get to the exit. The discomfort of my journey was multi

My parents were looking at the pictures that had been taken on the day of my sister’s wedding with noticeable joy on their faces. The two of them confessed that my sister’s marriage was the right decision that they’d made for her, believing she couldn’t have gotten anybody better than Noah Grayson, something that I chose to differ on.“From the day I had gotten to know Noah, I knew he needed to get married to our daughter,” revealed my mother, immersed in bluffing how she made the right decision by bringing them together. “I have never seen Anne look so happy before.”Nodding, my father kept down the newspaper he had been reading and declared, “Now all that’s left to do is to ensure our younger daughter finds conjugal happiness too.”“Since she is a stubborn one, I know it will not be an easy task,” declared my mother, grabbing her head. “Other than that, if people were to find out about her disappearance at her own sister’s wedding, nobody would want to marry her.”“I can’t believe sh

Disregarding the instructions given to me by the unruly man, I decided to spend the night at home, something that didn’t go as smoothly as I had planned. I kept receiving calls from Noah, which all went unanswered. I had no intention of getting entangled with him anymore.He, however, wasn’t fine with it. He issued innumerable threats because of my indifference. He promised to not only reveal the truth of my previous night’s sin but also present before my sister the texts that he had received from me in which I was allegedly begging him to sleep with me. I clearly didn't remember texting him. It was perhaps a consequence of my drunkenness.Although I recognized the dangers of resisting him, I stayed firm in my decision to never get involved with Noah again. Burying, thus, my head in my pillow, I hoped my phone would stop buzzing soon. It was indeed my naivety that made me think I could escape the stubborn one like this.No matter how irritated I seemed, the whole day’s affairs had exha
