Chapter 1 - Offending the Man

"Oops! Sorry," Kirsten exclaimed, her blue eyes almost popping out their sockets as the piping hot soup spilled on the handsome man's expensive suit. In a haste and without thinking much, she put down the tray on the floor, grabbed the man’s hand and pulled him into the restroom. "Sorry, sorry," as soon as they reached the restroom, she locked the door and hurriedly stripped the suit jacket from his body. Wasting no time she reached out to unbutton the man's shirt. With her jumbled mind, she wasn't aware of what she was doing. She was way too nervous that her supervisor would see what happened to the customer. Her mouth agape, seeing the man's firm and athletic abdomen already red because of the soup that was spilled on him. With teary eyes, Kirsten looked up at the man. And said, "I'm really sorry sir. I didn't mean it." Her cold dainty fingertips touched the man’s abdomen, inspecting it. Kirsten’s mind was so shrouded by her worries of losing her job that she didn't even

Chapter 2 - Marry

Mr. Rossi had his brow quirk upon seeing Kirsten. She and her friend Sherry Hollander were the two employees in the entire restaurant who never once entered his office. All those five years she worked in his restaurant, she avoided his office like a plague. It was because all who entered his office were going to sell themselves. Mr. Rossi had this shady business going on at his restaurant but only a few people knew about it. Waiters in his restaurant weren’t just servers but they were prostitutes. Nevertheless, he didn’t force anyone to sell themselves. Only those who wanted easy money entered his office. Mr. Rossi was quite surprised to see Kirsten in his office. "Anything, you want to say?" Mr. Rossi spoke after they locked eyes without saying a word. "Umm," Kirsten swallowed a non - existing saliva, her bone dry throat aching. "Spit it out, Ms. Lewis." His Italian accent pronounced as he spoke coldly. Kirsten took a step back, coldness enveloped her whole body as nervousn

Chapter 3 - The Groom was Late

"You've got it all wrong, Ms. Lewis. It isn't me but my client who's going to marry you," he said while chuckling. "Who is he?" Kirsten asked with a frown adorning her beautiful face. "I can't tell you," he said, he looked at her tenderly, his nonchalant face before, now filled with concern. "Can you please speak to whoever your boss is. Tell him that I can't marry him until my brother comes out of the hospital." The decisiveness in her tone gave the impression that it was not a request but an imposition. "Okay, let me call him." Mr. Tornwell was about to dial his client’s number but his phone went off. "She's already here," he said without waiting for the man to speak. He nodded his head while listening to the man at the other end of the line. "Ms. Lewis wants the wedding after her brother got discharged from the hospital," he said, holding his breath. Kirsten looked at Mr. Tornwell expectantly, wishing that her unknown groom would agree. Kirsten's heart fell at the b

Chapter 4 - She Was a Conquered Territory

The minister’s word snapped her back from her trance and Kirsten blush furiously. Not only did her cheeks were tinted with color but her fair neck was stained red and the color spread to her earlobes. Matthew slid his forefinger down Kirsten's chin inclining her head up and slowly his face descended, his sexy lips connecting with hers ever so gently. The contact sent thousands of tingles, washing over Kirsten's body, who for the first time was kissed in her whole life. Kirsten shuddered at the new and foreign sensation she felt all over her body. She was terrified at her body's reaction towards the kiss. A big question mark left floating in her mind. She couldn’t comprehend or name the feelings she had experienced when Matthew’s lips settled on hers. While Kirsten was yet to come out of her daze, she felt being lifted in the air. At once, as her initial response she reached for something to hold on. And she found herself clasping Matthew's neck. "Hold on tightly," Matthew co

Chapter 5 - A Slave

Returning to their room after answering a phone call, Matthew was startled to hear sobs coming from the bathroom. The advantage of having long legs was, with just a few big strides he had reached the bathroom door. At once he held the knob, turning it and pushed open the door. His eyes narrowed to see his wife on her knees, crying. She wasn't wearing anything, on display was her fair skin full of his marks. Quickly, taking a robe and putting it on her, he lifted her from the floor. Kirsten didn't stop crying even when she was settled on the bed. Matthew, confused by the mixed feelings crowding his chest, went out for a walk, leaving a crying mess, Kirsten. Bawling until fatigue overtook, she drifted off to sleep. Thinking that he had given her enough time to cry, Matthew came back. There he saw his wife, curled up at the edge of bed like a frightened kitten. She was sleeping but was sniffling in her sleep. Matthew sat down beside her. He lifted his hand and brushed away th

Chapter 6 - No Need to Explain

'Beep, beep," the medical instrument connected to Kirsten’s body, continuously sounded, greeted Kirsten as she woke from coma. "She's awake, Dr. Townsend," Kirsten heard a woman speak, her voice tinged with excitement. "Water," Kirsten was surprised how hoarse her voice sounded to her ears. The nurse quickly took water and put a straw in the cup of water, holding it before Kirsten's mouth. Feeling so thirsty, Kirsten completely emptied the cup. "You have been in a coma for three days," the doctor informed her sensing that she had no idea why she was in the hospital. Memories came flooding in, she remembered she was enticed by the sea and the voice…Whose voice was it? Who saved her? "Who took me here?" Before she could stop herself from asking, the words already came out of her mouth."Mr. Roosevelt, brought you here. He was here a while ago and left for a business meeting," the nurse answered her question. The doctor did several tests on her before she was finally released to

Chapter 7 - Was He Deaf?

In the dimly lit room, her tears sparkled as light reflected in them. Matthew caught sight of this and his agitation dissipated right away. Matthew slid his hand up her head and pressed the side of her face against his chestHer ear was pressed against his chest enabled her to hear the erratic beating of his heart. She was utterly confused why his heartbeat sounded like music in her ears and liked hearing it. It was Sunday the following day, Matthew already left when Kirsten opened her eyes. Kirsten wondered about her husband's whereabouts. It's Sunday today, he should be home today. She mused on if she married a workaholic. Kirsten took her phone to call Matthew, however, indecision caught her up. After a long time of deliberating with herself if she should or shouldn't call, finally, she decided to call. Her heart galloped like a buck as she heard the ringback. But the call was unanswered. She retried and this time the call was rejected. Like a deflated balloon, Kirsten ploppe

Chapter 8 - Someone Missed Her

When the bowl was nearly filled, Matthew put it down on top of the table. Kirsten stared at the bowl of soup before her. She wasn’t sure if the soup was really for her. She didn't touch the bowl of soup in front of her and observe Matthew. He took the empty bowl before her. Filled it with soup, then he placed it before him and started to eat. So it was really for her. He didn't accidentally place the bowl of soup before her. A smile broke through her face and she said, "Thank you." But her happiness was mixed with a bit of dejection that he didn't make as much of a grunt to respond. The meal was spent in a very uncomfortable note as Matthew just ate without glancing at her nor tried to make small chat with her. As a law student, Kirsten was used to talking with people. She was trained to have a good skill in communicating with people because she has to talk to clients and she'll need it during legal counsels and legal proceedings such as court hearings. But facing her husband

Chapter 9 - The Woman Beside Him

"Kristen? Did I hear the voice of a man?" James asked, a gust of anxiety and jealousy flurried into his heart. "I have to hang up, I'm still at work." Kirsten ended the call before any of the two men could speak again. Matthew was displeased to hear her lie. "Who is that and why did you lie?" Matthew asked, his cold voice made Kirsten tremble. However she quickly recovered and answered back. "A friend. And I wasn't lying, remember I am working for you. Am I right?" She responded and sidled away from him, completely forgetting her reason why she came to the kitchen. Matthew watched with a scowl as Kirsten walked out of the kitchen. He followed her to the bedroom and she was already under the sheet. Her eyes were closed and her back was facing his side of the bed. She didn’t move a bit even when she felt the sheet being lifted and he climbed onto the bed. All of a sudden, a hand was pressed against her shoulder and she was turned to face him. Too sudden, leaving her stunned

Chapter 10 - The Legal Wife

“She’s my –” Kirsten interjected, not letting him finish and greeted him nonchalantly. “Good evening, Mr Roosevelt.” “Good evening, Mrs Roosevelt,” Matthew answered, throwing Kirsten into confusion. Except Matthew, everyone was shocked. Taking advantage of Monalisa’s shock, he freed his arm from her grip and pulled Kirsten from James' side to his side. Now, Kirsten was standing beside him with his hand resting around her tiny waist, displaying a possessive gesture. “Hi, I am Kirsten's husband,” Matthew said to James, whose lips were pursed into a thin line. He reached out his hand for a handshake. James accepted the offer and shook his hand. Only the two of them knew how much force they used in the handshake. They were trying to crush each other's hand. None of them winced and the handshake was broken after a while. ‘No wonder why she was wearing a brand that only wealthy people could buy.’ James thought. James felt as if his heart was being wrung like a washcloth. He had b
