All Chapters of Bitter Marriage: The Missing Gleam in Their Eyes: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Their wedding was extraordinarily luxurious and very beautiful; unfortunately, Dave's mother could not attend because he said his mother was seeking treatment abroad. The sudden condition of their marriage made Dave's mother unable to rearrange her schedule. However, Dave said that his mother sent greetings and as soon as she returned from overseas, she would visit the two of them with a wedding present.They entered the bridal chamber that had been lavishly decorated by a well-known decorator; of course, the flowers were supplied by Angel's greenhouse. Some are donations from her best friend Jim who is very happy with Angel's wedding.Jim is indeed her close friend, who always helps her whenever he can. Many thought they were close, but only Angel and Jim knew that they couldn't be more than that. Jim was gay and he wasn't attracted to women.Angel still kept the secret to herself, she hadn't told Dave yet. At first, she was still hesitant because Jim himself m

In the end, Angel couldn't help but visit Jim. She stood in her house that was also their office hesitantly. Jim's own house is right next to Angel's, so the man often goes back and forth between the office and his house, where he lives with his mother and two younger sisters.Jim and Angel's relationship is very close, more than friends, like brother and sister. Jim's family also loved her very much. When her mother died, Jim's family automatically adopted her as an unofficial adopted child.Jim's mother always expected more from Angel's relationship with Jim, knowing that she did not know the identity that Jim was hiding as a gay person. She repeatedly mentioned how nice it would be to have a daughter-in-law like Angel.However, later when Angel planned her wedding with Dave, she finally accepted the fact that they were not meant to be more than friends did. Even then, it was Jim's mother who was eager to help with Angel's wedding preparations, making Angel to

Angel moved to the guest room at the end of the hall, embarrassed, because all the servants seemed shocked by her move. However, Angel took courage, saying that this was her decision as an inviolable hostess. Angel has never been a hostess in her entire life, but it turns out that being Dave's wife has its advantages too in this house, because all the maids and servants were afraid and bowed down to her without daring to refute her.The room was as beautiful as the others in the house were and Angel arranged her few clothes in the enormous wardrobe. After that, she sat hesitantly and waited for Dave to come home.In her heart she wondered, was her decision to follow Dave's orders by moving out of the main room the right one? Or does this just make things worse? Should Angel just stay in the room and force Dave to explain everything to her?However, she couldn't bear to accept his humiliation and rude attitude towards her.Maybe this is the right decision.

Jim was waiting. Although looking relaxed, the man was tense and looked very worried about Angel.“How are you?” Jim pulled out a chair for Angel to sit on, something he had never done before.“I'm fine.” Angel smiled, trying to be strong.“But my feelings don't,” she continued hoarsely.Jim looked at her and furrowed his brows. “You've only been married two days and Dave is already acting like this. If this is the case, then I will ask his motivation for marrying you.” Jim looked at her carefully. “Is it possible he is trying to trap you in this marriage, Angel?”“Trap me?” Angel looked at Jim confusedly. “But why? For what reason?”“I do not know.” Jim shrugged his shoulders. “At first I was suspicious of Dave's attitude, which approached you so intensely and quickly, even then proposed to you even though your relationship was just as old

“You have to leave Dave.”That morning Jim called her. Last night he called her many times, but Angel was too busy crying in pain and could not pick up. Now Angel had calmed down, determined to face it all. This risk she has to take; she married Dave on her own decision, because she was deceived by his sweet attitude and fake love. Now she is trapped in his hatred for some reason. Moreover, she does not want to involve anyone and hurt the people she cares.“I can handle it, Jim.”“But he was so rude yesterday, tugging on your arm like that!” Jim sounded furious. “I would never be that rude to any woman.”Angel took a deep breath. Her eyes filled with tears. Suddenly she missed her peaceful life, when she could enjoy a quiet day behind the green color and the beauty of the flowers in her glass house. Now, Angel does not even dare to visit her greenhouse.“I'll try to find an explanation for all o
