All Chapters of OPEN MARRIAGE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Rhoda didn't know whether to start laughing or start crying. She didn't know the right emotion she could express to show how she was feeling, so she settled on forcing a laugh which ended like some terrible car honk. "What kind of joke was that? Stop it, dad. It's not funny at all."Her mother sighed and held her hands. "It's not a joke, my dear. And I am so sorry we did not tell you until now. You wouldn't have come home if —""I still find it hard to believe all of this," Rhoda said. "Why would I get married? All of a sudden? To whom? The last time I checked, we were apart for years and I don't remember bringing someone home to you. So, why… how? Please, tell me this is a prank because it is getting serious," she said as calmly as she could and looked at her father. Not that she didn't feel like raising her voice at the two of them. She wouldn't mind the whole building hearing them.Imagine so many people coming to a wedding that the supposed bride was not even aware of? Did that ma

He rushed out and dragged Rhoda by one hand and her bag by another and straight into his room. He didn't mind her protest to break free but told her to shut up instead. "Do not drag me, asshole. I'm not a cow." Who cared if he dragged her like a cow? That was not the important thing at that moment. Thank God he had changed into a casual outfit and a t-shirt his girlfriend gave to him on his birthday which had become his favorite one since then. That was the previous year. And the girl who gave it to him was downstairs and must not come up here to see what was going on. He might be a billionaire, but he's not a cold and nasty one. Well, not to his girlfriend. He loved with passion and wanted to be loved too. He was one of the few billionaires who believed in the existence of true love. "Stay here," he told his bride and went downstairs to meet with the angry face of his girlfriend. "Hey, babe. What's wrong?" "What do you mean what's wrong?" His mind started wondering if she

Rhoda got dressed and walked out of her husband's house. He had gone to work and since she had no work to do, she spent most of her time with her boyfriend who had no idea about her sudden marriage yet.Nas, her boyfriend, also arrived in the country a few days after her marriage. Rhoda knew she should keep no secret from him, but not something like marriage. She knew him well enough. He was quick to make decisions. He was very quick to jump to conclusions. She could lose him and that was the least thing she wanted.She pressed the ignition button on her car and drove out of the compound, making her way onto the road. She could not stop grinning from ear to ear and humming throughout the drive to Nas' house.She slighted from her car and walked into the house. She must confess that she loved the house even though it was nowhere near her husband's. Jeff was a billionaire, but her boyfriend wasn't and that was perfectly fine. She still finds it hard to believe that he was the owner of

Jeffery's eyes became wide open in shock at the kiss. What had gotten over her? Before he could push her back, she withdrew and faced Karen's burning eyes. "How dare you!" Karen roared before glaring at Jeff for not doing anything about it. Rhoda smiled. "You wanted to know who I am. I am his wife. She opened her purse secretly as she talked and put on her wedding ring and showed it to her. "We're married, so…"Jeff covered her mouth with his palm. "Shut the fuck up or else…" He watched as Karen walked in and was back within seconds. With her bag. He held her hand and tried to explain what had just happened, but she wasn't ready to listen."It would have been a different case if she was your girlfriend. But… your wife? Like, marriage?" Karen shouted. "How could you do this to me? You got married to someone else while I was out of town and you even have the nerve to keep it from me and… and… Just fuck off, Jeffrey." She started walking down the stairs, still in his shirt, but that di

"Believe me, I'll run to New York if I can right now. That's how much I missed you, Aunt Martha," Rhoda smiled as she said into the phone. After having the heated argument with Jeff, he had angrily walked out of her sight into his room and had not come out ever since. That was about four hours ago, but did she care about that? Heck no!"So, how is it going in your marriage, my dear?" Her aunt asked, making her adjust on her seat and sighed.She smiled as she replied. "It is annoying, but… ugh! I can't complain," she said and shrugged. "I understand you, darling. And I am very sorry that happened to you —," she was still talking when Rhoda saw her husband walking out of his room and started walking towards her when he sighted her. Her mouth became wide open at the sight of Jeff's skin and very pale face. What was wrong with him? All of his visible skin was swollen and sore except his face.Rhoda jumped to her feet. "I'll give you a call back. My husband seems sick," she said. "Alri
