Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 51: Only Witness
~Lora~A knot tightened in my stomach. "What is it?"He lowered his eyes and exhaled slowly, as if searching for the courage to say the words. "...I lost my job this morning."My brows drew together. "What? Why?""They fired me."For a moment, I could only stare at him. "You mean because of this? Because you've been looking into what happened to me?""I honestly don't know." He shook his head, his voice tight. "Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. They didn't give me any explanation. They just called me into the office, told me my services were no longer needed, and asked me to leave."He tried to shrug it off, but I could hear the raw strain beneath his calm front. It sounded like he'd spent the entire day convincing himself it didn't matter… and was only now beginning to realize how much it actually did."I wasn't even going to mention it," he admitted."I figured I'd just give you the envelope and leave. But..." He hesitated, pulling his phone from his pocket. "Then this happened."Leani
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 50: Exhausted
~Lora~The moment I stepped out of the restaurant, I pulled my phone from my purse and immediately dialed James.As much as Christian claimed he had found a lead, there was no way I was meeting him alone. Maybe I was being overly cautious after everything that had happened recently, but I had learned the hard way that trusting people too easily could get me killed. Besides, if this really turned out to be something important, I'd rather have someone I trusted close by.The phone barely rang twice before James answered."Well, that was fast," he said. "I thought this was supposed to be a romantic date."I snorted. "Trust me, there was nothing romantic about it.""I'm guessing things didn't go well?""You could say that. Anyway, can you come pick me up? I need to head somewhere."There was a brief pause before he asked, "You're not driving?"I smiled despite myself. "When have you ever known me to willingly drive if someone else is available to do the job?"James laughed on the other

~Lora~Michael swallowed hard, tugging at the collar of his suit as though it had suddenly become too tight.A knot formed in my stomach.I frowned. "Please don't tell me she's pregnant."He blinked.Across from him, Ivy nearly sprayed her water. She coughed violently, pressing a hand to her chest."What?" she choked out.Heat crept up my neck."Nothing," I muttered, waving a dismissive hand. "Just tell me what it is.”"So... you know how Ivy also majored in fine arts?" Michael started, his hands moving nervously at first.I raised my brow. But he continued anyway."And how.. she specialised in fashion designing, before she went on to study business administration?"I slowly shook my head. "Mhmm-mhmm. I don't."I mean, how would I? I didn't know anything about her, and frankly, It’s none of my business."Oh. Yeah. Uhm. Right," he added, adjusting himself in his seat. He was practically vibrating with excitement. "Anyways, she just signed this huge deal for our company. But she needs
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 48: Better Company
~Lora~I have never felt so completely devastated. I don’t think I have ever cried as much as I did in the early hours of today.After Alex stormed out on me, I waited.I sat on the cold tiles of his hallway for nearly two hours. I just sat there, shivering, waiting for him to walk right back through that front door and tell me he was sorry.But he never came.I called his phone for what felt like forever. Over and over, until the ringing stopped and it started sending me straight to voicemail.He was done with me. I could feel it in my bones. He was so upset, and a horrible voice in my head kept whispering that he would never want to see my face again.And now, I was paying for it.Right now, I knew I had made a stupid decision by agreeing to Michael’s appeal. After Michael found out I came back early from my so-called two days’ trip, he begged me to go out on a date with him.I only said yes because I couldn't bear to go back to our empty house or father's house.I didn't want
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 47: Secret Mistress
~Lora~"Don't do this... baby, please. Don't do this to us," I breathed.All the fierce anger left my body in a single split second.The raw, aching yearning completely overtook me, heavy and sudden.I took a small step forward, trying to draw nearer to him. I was desperate to close the distance between us before the space became permanent.Alex didn't move toward me.Instead, he just slowly raised both of his large hands, keeping his palms flat out in the air.It was a silent, devastating barrier. He was telling me to back off."I'm not doing anything," he whispered.The exhaustion in his voice was so much worse than any of his shouting."This conversation is over, Lora. I laid it out for you. Clear as day. I didn't ask you to leave your husband publicly. I didn't ask you to blow up your life or face any shit."He took a deep breath, his bloodshot eyes locking onto mine."I told you that you could stay in that marriage for as long as you need to handle your business," he continued,
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 46: Just Maybe
~Lora~The silence he left behind was too heavy to breathe in.Before I even realized what I was doing, I threw the sheets off my body and scrambled out of bed. I grabbed the duvet, wrapping it tightly around my bare shoulders, and ran out of the room."Alex! Don't do this!" I called out to him.My bare feet slapped against the cold steps as I raced down the stairs. The warmth of our shared shower felt completely gone now, replaced by a sudden, terrifying chill.When I reached the bottom, I saw him standing by the kitchen counter. He had already pulled on his pants, his chest still bare, his broad shoulders hunched over as if he were trying to physically brace himself for something.I rushed forward, crowding into his space, desperately trying to catch his eyes. "Alex..."I reached out to touch his arm, but the second my fingertips brushed his skin, he flinched and pulled away. The rejection felt like a physical blow to my chest."Baby, listen to me, please," I begged, my voice cr

~Lora~“Woah, Pops… it doesn’t have to get this serious.” Adrian quickly reached for Father’s arm, trying to ease the tension growing around the table.But I couldn’t move.I stood there frozen beside my chair, my fingers trembling slightly against the fabric of my dress.Confused.Terrified.Every

~Lora~As I stared at my father, a slow heat crawled up the back of my neck. It made me feel dizzy, like the floor was tilting.My heart was beating fast, trying to break out.Deep down, I knew. Whatever this was, it wasn't a gift. It was a disaster.Father stood there so proud, his broad should

~Lora~“Why didn't you say anything?” I asked, faking my tone, as I met his mother's eyes.Then I looked back at Michael. I made sure my voice sounded sad and sweet. “I saw this dress saved on your Pinterest,” I lied. “I thought you wanted to see me in it. I wanted to surprise you. I’m sorry... I

~Lora~“Why can’t you learn to control your wife?”Those words hit me before I even reached the table. I didn’t need to look up to know it was Michael’s mother.Around the table, the air felt heavy. Every relative sat frozen. They looked like they wanted to hide under the table just to escape he
