Lonely Bride

SEAN POVExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

I sat on a chair, looking at her pale face and holding her lifeless hand.

I could feel her friends’ accusing stares, but I care less right now. I only care for my girl, my wife, Sarah.

Yes, my wife.

Today I listened to her accusations. I saw the pain in her eyes.

How lonely she is.

She thinks I am here to get a divorce, but no, my darling; I do not want a divorce, nor will I ever give you one in this life.

I have my reasons to be back earlier than I thought, and I will not back off now. I want what is rightfully mine.

I have given her enough time. For her, now it is time to be back in my life.

I let you live your dreams, princess. I let you do things you wanted to do in your life, but now that is it.

You have made your name; you have made yourself proud, and you have made me proud.

I might think of letting you enjoy your life a little more, but I know I cannot. I have seen you, and now I must touch you.

I need you all by myself.

I know she is suffering as hell, but baby, you do not know me yet. All the attempts to get away from me will go in vain as I have already had a little taste of you and you are like a drug. Once you get the taste, you want more, and I want more.

I want all of you.

Do you think you are living peacefully away from me, and I will not even know your whereabouts?

No, princess, no. You are wrong here. I knew where you were from the moment you left the house. What are you doing? With whom do I have all the information about you?

You lived peacefully because I let you live.

You are mine, and I do not let go of what is mine. I looked up and saw Nathan. He was giving me a murderous look.

‘Well, the kid gives you whatever look you want, but I do not care. She is my woman, and she will be with me whether she likes it.’ I smirked at that thought.

The doctor says she is stressed and weak, and she needs proper rest. She fainted because of weakness and high blood pressure.

I somehow felt guilty. Earlier, I was thinking about her happiness. I used to think what I did was right. I did not want to be a barricade between her dreams. I wanted her to fly high. I wanted her to live her dreams. I wanted her to enjoy life to the fullest, but today she made me realize how wrong I was.

When I heard her cry, standing outside her house, it broke my heart into a million pieces.

I betted my eyelashes a few times to control my tears and felt some movement in her hand.

I squeeze her hand gently, and she opens her eyes slowly and closes back because of the light, I guess.

She again opens slowly and looks here and there, and then her eyes stop at me, and then she moves around her friends, and they rush towards her.

“Pumpkin, you have decided you will give me a heart attack at this age? Do you think I am too young to die? Moreover, I do not want to die a virgin like you.” Sam is bombarded, crying a mess without thinking about what she is saying.

I looked at Sarah, and her face was worth watching. She became all red because of embarrassment, and her blood rushed from her cheek to her neck.

Gosh, looking at that, my blood rushed to my lower region.

She looks divine with rosy cheeks. How do I want to suck them in?

She completely avoided me, clearing her throat. “Who says I am a virgin”? She was lilting and fuming.

‘But Sam was not the one to the back right now, as she is hell worried about her friend and, in anger, she does not know what she is saying. And for me, it is so amusing yet entertaining. I just need popcorn here, as this is getting extremely interesting for me.’ I thought about biting my cheek from the inside.

“I am saying this”. Sam says this while hiccupping.

“Oh, and who told you this? I do not remember ever telling you about this in my life.” Sarah spoke a little annoyingly.

“Darling, for that, you need boys in your life. And as far as I remember, you had no boys in your whole life apart from Nathan.” She spoke, cleaning her nose with a tissue kept on the table.

And this statement made me a little angry and maybe jealous.

Oh, come on now, I am not a saint, and I do not expect the same from my partner; however, at the same time, I do not want the person who has taken my wife’s virginity in front of me either, and that too in my house.

Sam looks at Nathan accusingly and says, “Unless Nathan is the one.”

“What nooo!” Nathan and Sarah spoke together, and that gives me some peace of mind.

“What Rubbish is it?” Sarah spoke, irritated.

“Sam, do you even have any idea what you are talking about? She is my little sister, and you are talking this bullshit about us”? I never thought you had a gutter mind”. Nathan fumed, and Sam got embarrassed by her statement.

I am sorry, I did not mean it. I was just trying to prove my point that she is a virgin.” She spoke innocently, and I bit my lips hard not to smile.

“To hell with your bloody point. Tell me one thing: are you a virgin? Why the hell does it matter if someone is a virgin or not? Does that change the person?” Now Nathan’s anger has crossed all the boundaries, I guess. I can see he is very protective of Sarah.

“Well, I am a virgin. I have no chance in my life to have a boyfriend because of you guys. You guys never let me have one. You both always had a problem with every guy I brought to meet you.” Sam spoke, pouting.

This girl is cute, I must say.

Hearing this, Nathan’s eyes got soft, and Sarah started laughing. And I try to control my laugh.

“We have not got a suitable guy for you. You always bring stupid people in front of us,” Nathan said in a bored tone.

“Then find someone for me.” She huffed, crossing her arms to her chest.

“Never”. Nathan Mummer, but I heard it as he was standing right beside me.

Well, one thing is clear: Nathan has a liking for Sam. Good choice, brother, I thought.

Ok, fine, I will find a guy for you, but then you must promise me you will accept him with no drama? Deal?” Sarah Spoke.

“What you? I do not know what kind of stupid boy you get for me. You have never been with anyone, so I cannot trust your choice. You have zero knowledge in the boy’s department.” She shakes her head, makes zero in the air, and insults Sarah nicely.

But Sarah was not affected and said, OK, let me give you some description. How about that? Sarah spoke, raising one eyebrow.

Sam thought for a second. Narrowing her eyes towards Sarah, she said, “Okay, this will be safe, I guess”.

“Great, So I will find a guy for you who will have 5. 11 Blake hair, be fair, and have cute dimples because I know how much you love Nathan’s dimple.” Hearing this, Nathan started coughing, and Sam blushed hard.

I was enjoying all the drama.

“Well then, that will be yes from me,” she said, looking at Nathan, who was looking everywhere, then Sam.

Hmm, so Sarah knows Nathan’s feelings, and I guess Sam has some feelings for him, too.

She looked at Sarah and said, “Perhaps it does not prove you are not a virgin. I know you are.”

Man, this girl is also suborned like her friend. I mentally facepalm myself.

“Nope, I am not.” Sarah shakes her head.

Nathan was visibly uncomfortable with this conversation.

“Then tell me how you felt after your first time. She sat on the bed with Sarah to get all the information from her and started listening carefully.” Like a kid is waiting for her bedtime story.

Sam, do you know you are standing in front of my husband and my brother, and you are asking me to share how I lost my virginity? Do you want to know the name and address of that person? Tell me”? Sarah is now full of embarrassment and anger, but what caught my attention was my husband.

Hearing this, I felt a current run through my body, and I got goosebumps.

Sarah felt my standing hair on my hand because I was still holding her hand, and unknowingly, she started moving her thumb on the back of my hand to calm my nerves. And it worked.

“Virgin or no virgin matter, nothing, Sam. Now I think we should let her take some rest. I looked at Sarah, and she was looking at me with no emotion, like trying to read my soul, but baby, it is difficult to read me.

I will ask the servant to bring your food, saying I stood up to go, but she was still holding my hand. I looked back to see what she wanted, but she was just looking at me.

Sam cleared her throat, and she took her hand back, saying sorry. I nodded and went out.
