All Chapters of The Kidnapped Bride: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

“How is your leg?”I stared at Dela, who appeared with Rosalia in my chamber suddenly. It was midday. I was reading a book in bed.“It doesn’t really hurt,” I said. “Even when I hit my toe, I did not really feel much pain. But then I touched it and there was a lot of blood. I tried to see the bottom part and there was a huge deep gash. It’s not painful at all, to be honest. Just there is a tingling. But that’s it. I don’t even have to take any pain medication.”“That’s good,” Dela said. She sat down on the side of the bed where Demian usually sat to talk to me. Rosalia kept standing.Dela leaned towards me and touched my face suddenly. It startled me since it was so sudden. I had not expected it.“Oh, your beautiful face now ruined,” she cried. “Why would your father do this?” She turned to Rosalia. “Why would your brother do this to his own daughter?”Rosalia’s lips trembled, but she did not say anything. She looked like she was on the verge of tears. In fact, ever since I came back,

I had always been interested in romance. I loved the idea of having a man who would love me so much that he would burn the world for me. I wanted a man like the men I read about in books.But in reality, I knew that I would never find someone like that because the world was not built like that. Real world was much different than the worlds of books.However, when Demian told me that he loved me too, I had felt the kind of joy that I never thought I would feel. He was like those men in the books, the ones that I wanted so much but never believed I could get.The thing that I loved most about Demian was his sincerity. It was ironic for a liar to love someone sincere. But then again, I did not lie to him anymore. I did not want to hide myself and all the truths from him. I believed I could trust him.Since Demian was always sincere, when he told me that he loved me, I believed him. I had no doubt that he felt that way and more for me.“Do you want to go somewhere?” he asked.“Where?”“On

“Has the miscarriage caused something?” Alexander asked. “Will it take time for her to get pregnant?”“It must have caused something,” Demian said.“That’s why I am telling you, Demian, to marry again,” Alexander said. “At least, you would have a child soon then. Do you have anyone in mind?”I remained quiet. It was painful to hear such things. It was not like I cared much about what Alexander said. Even so, it hurt to hear that he wanted Demian to marry another woman.“I have a wife, Father. I do not want to marry again,” Demian answered calmly.“Why not? More pleasure for you.”“I will not do it,” Demian said, a little sternly.“If she does not get pregnant within the next two months, you are getting married again, whether you want to or not,” Alexander said. His tone suggested that it was not up for an argument.Demian did not say anything. It was not smart to argue with Alexander since it might backfire. But I still wished Demian would talk back.‘Stupid. Don’t be stupid just for t

I went to Theodore the very same day I went to Rosalia. In fact, I went to Theodore right after. Time was very precious. I did not want to waste any.I knocked on Theodore’s door. I heard the shuffling of clothes, then the sound of the cane. He opened the door. Looking at his face, it was obvious that he had not expected it to be me.“Is it a bad time?” I asked.“No… No, it’s okay. I was just… lying down,” Theodore said nervously. He seemed a little awkward around me.“I thought we could have some tea. Perhaps in a living room,” I said. “Of course, if you want to. I don’t want to force you.”“No, I do. I do want to,” he said. “I just thought…”“What?”“That you would avoid me after…”“Why would I do that? You had been honest with me. I like honesty,” I said and gave him a smile. “Well then, get dressed. We can discuss a book or something.”“Yes, sure. You can wait for me there,” he said. “I will be quick.”“Of course. Let us choose the sun room. That is nice,” I said.“Yes, certainly.

I found Demian in the bathroom. I entered as silently as possible, but he noticed me right away. His eyes were closed as he relaxed into the bath. He simply spoke to me without opening his eyes.“You were sleeping like you did hard labor the whole day,” he said.“Are you mocking me?” I asked. We both knew that I did nothing but read, relax, eat and sleep all day. “Is it because you work harder than me?”He chuckled. “Join me.”“No. I haven’t eaten anything for a while. If we… do anything intimate, I will get sick,” I said.“You can just take a bath with me. That’s all.”“No,” I said again. I sat down on a stool beside the tub. “I want to tell you something.”He opened his eyes and looked at me. His eyes were unnerving. They were cold and merciless… yet, I found them caring towards me.“Did you do something?” he asked.“You can say that from my face?”“I think I can read you a lot better now,” he said.“Well, I did do something.” And I told him about everything. Demian listened attenti
