Forced To Marry My Husband I Ended Up With His Cousin CHAPTER 23: A Shoulder To Cry On
STACYIt was a long time before she finally stopped crying. She laid her head on my shoulder, hiccupping. Her eyes were red and swollen. My arm went round her in support, caressing her back, offering no words, but unspoken comfort and friendship.“I…I need to wash my face,” she sniffled, lifted her head from my shoulder, climbing out of bed into the bathroom.I used the opportunity to go check on the kids. Gently, I opened the door and saw Rita singing to them as they laid on the bed, eyes drooping close.She spotted me and paused. I gave her a thumbs up, and closed the door as quietly as possible, and went back to the bed to wait for Tricia.If Rita did her job well, within a month, I wouldn’t mind increasing her salary. For now, I was watching her. And oh my goodness! I had mentally planned to get her a new phone. Didn’t she have family who would call? She must have someone out there who cared for her. I quickly went online, entered a reputable site and ordered a brand new phone
Forced To Marry My Husband I Ended Up With His Cousin CHAPTER 22: Her Turn To Be The Friend Indeed
STACY The drive back home was a bit awkward and silent. Once the driver wheeled into the hotel, Tricia climbed down, already starting for the building, going up to my hotel suite with her small bag containing her personal items and few clothes. I paid the driver double as usual, and he was grateful, grinning excitedly as he waved me a goodnight. I went up into the elevator, reaching my suite in no time. I used my key card to let myself in, rather than knock on the door or press the doorbell. There was Tricia, her bag was nowhere in sight. She didn’t say a word to me, her eyes were glued to the TV. I didn’t see Rita and the kids. I stepped into the kids room to find them keeping busy on their tablet. I gave them the desserts I’d bought for them. Rita informed me she’d made certain they had dinner and had them bathed, and in their pajamas. She was surprised and excitedly grateful for the cake and ice cream.“I don’t know your favorite ice cream or cake. My friend and I just decide
Forced To Marry My Husband I Ended Up With His Cousin CHAPTER 21: Her Friend's Personal Troubles
STACY“Is he someone you’re dating?” I asked, hoping she would say no. I couldn’t tell her who to date but I didn’t know how to feel if she was dating William’s cousin.Who was he, by the way? All my six years living in that house, I’d never heard of a cousin. They rarely talked about any extended family except the few times I’ve heard the conversations of a grandma who lived in California, in the Carter family home. “Eww, no. He’s just a decent human being. A good man.” She replied, sipping long at her cup of beverage. I was glad to see she’d gotten her appetite back. “That’s what you said about Bennett.” I reminded, clearing off my plate of croissant and polishing off my cup of cappuccino.She bounced her shoulders in a shrug, “yeah.”When it was obvious she wasn’t going to say anything further, I decided to continue the conversation, “I’m sorry you had to go through all of that, Tricia.”“It’s okay. I’m glad his cousin came in just in time else, I bet my ass I’d still be in ther
Forced To Marry My Husband I Ended Up With His Cousin CHAPTER 20: HER BEST FRIEND’S HIDING SOMETHING
STACY“I don’t know what you mean. You’re just saying things.” I countered, bringing my cup of frappe to my lips.“You’re scared. You’re uncertain. And it’s okay to be all of these things but if he finds out about his kids, keeping him away from them would just be a selfish move on your part and if they grow to find out what you’ve done, whatever love and affection you showered them over the years won’t help your case by then, Stace.”“They won’t ever find out, and that’s final. He doesn’t have to know. It’s why I have to leave as soon as the contract is over. If I can even get it done in six months, I’m leaving.” I argued, keeping my tone level and without the nerves I was beginning to feel knot giving me away. “If you say so.” She shrugged, biting into her glazed doughnut, “their food is good. As good as your former working place.”“Hm.” I watched her, my mind refusing to file away the subject. One year might seem temporary but it was enough time for a determined man to get what wa

STACY “It’s been a while. Everything looks the same, but somehow I can see that some things have changed. Like that shop over there.” I pointed at a nice, little pawn shop, “it wasn’t there before. If I remember clearly, that space used to be a laundromat owned by that man from…was it Singapore? Thailand?”“He’s Korean, Stace. And yes, he got sick and had to move back to his country to be taken care of.”“He didn’t have any family here with him? I thought he was married?”“I have no idea. The man was quiet. Kept to himself.”“Yes, that he was.” I agreed, reminiscing the one time Tricia and I had gone to launder our clothes when they got too much and we couldn’t wash them all, “he was in his fifties then, so I just thought maybe he married.”“Maybe not everyone buys into the marriage thing. I know I don’t.” We were strolling our former street, Tricia confirmed she no longer lived in that apartment. Said she would take me where she lived currently if there was time. For now, we were
Forced To Marry My Husband I Ended Up With His Cousin CHAPTER 18: Meeting Her God-Babies
STACYI stepped out of the elevator just in time to hear Tricia arguing with Rita. “She’s my best friend, what’s wrong with you? Let me in.”“I’m sorry, ma’am. But I can not just let you…” She paused, spotting me nearing them. “Let her in, Rita. She’s family.” I instructed.She immediately moved aside, words of apology already spewing from her mouth. But the person she was directing the apology to wasn’t mindful of it. Tricia breezed past. She stared at me, a bit of regret clouding her features, “I’m sorry, ma’am. I have no idea she’s…I was just trying to…”I placed a hand on her shoulder, my lips spread slightly in an assuring smile, “don’t worry, Rita. I know what you were trying to do and I’m more grateful for it. Shows you take your job seriously and would protect my kids from strangers. Thank you.”She opened her mouth, then closed it as if she was at loss for words. Finally, she nodded, “thank you, ma’am.”Tricia’s scream had Rita and I rushing inside. She grabbed all three k

STACY “Madam, please, your husband is busy. He will…” I paid no need to the secretary who was running after me as I pushed my way through desks and staff, heading for his door.Once I reached the door that read ‘Office Of The CEO’, I turned the knob and opened.The secretary disappeared from the

STACYI stepped into the dark room on wobbling legs and full of buzzing nerves. William was the first and only man to have ever seen me naked. Clad in just a pair of lace bra and panties, I felt uncomfortable knowing I was about to be seen by another man.Tonight was the night.I had signed a non-

STACYI skidded to a halt, almost tripping in my haste. The hospital floor was too squeaky clean. One had to be careful, but I didn’t care about being careful, not when the doctor had sounded serious on the phone.My daughter’s health. The cancer. Her brain. I stopped myself from thinking further

STACY “Zaya is your daughter too, William!” I screeched despairingly, the back of my throat burning with sorrow and unshed tears. My hair was disheveled and a strap of my dress was falling off my shoulder. My face streaked with dried tears.I was in a state of panic, panic, fear and sorrow all at
