The next morning.Jim woke up, only to be shell-shocked because he found himself in his room, the same place where he had lived for the past four years.“What the hell?” he was out of words. “H-How did I get here? Is this a dream?”[It’s not.] Anne calmly replied.“I remember sleeping on a roadside bench last night, and it got really cold…” Jim thought. “I don’t remember after that.”[Maybe you sleep-walked here in the middle of the night?] Anne wondered.“Maybe?” Jim’s brows jerked. “You bastard… you brought me here after I slept. How could you do that to me?”[What are you talking about?] Anne sounded innocent.“Don’t play dumb,” Jim growled. “I’m not stupid. There’s no way I could have sleep-walked here. Why the hell did you bring me to this place? To these people that have cast me out of their house as well as from their hearts? How am I supposed to get out of this building without being seen?”Would there be anything more humiliating than being seen by his mother-in-law right no
Rena woke up late with a gripping headache. She had too much to drink last afternoon, and she ended up sleeping twenty hours straight.Even though she asked for coffee, nobody brought her coffee. And then she remembered that Jim was gone. He wasn’t just gone, but he was actually cast out of the family.What bothered Rena was that she didn’t even stop her mother, even though she felt like Lola was doing the wrong thing.“Poor Jim… I wonder where he stayed last night. He didn’t even have any money on him.”Her body ached everywhere, so she struggled to get off the bed. The soles of her feet hurt a bit as she walked. She came out and called from the balcony. “Isn’t coffee ready yet?”Marc was in the kitchen, but he acted like he couldn’t hear her. (You’ve been working as a finance manager in some big company for the past five years, and you haven’t even given me a penny from your salary. What makes you think I’ll make you coffee, Rena? If you want coffee, you have to make one yourself.)
If Rena could be said to be sweet because of her looks as well as character, then Shiney could be said to be cute. Even though she acted a domineering girl most of the time, she came across as cute to everyone else in the family. She was the happy-go-lucky girl of the family.However, when such a girl asked Jim if he would marry her, her sister and parents were shocked out of their wits.“Shiney!” Both Rena and Lola yelled at the same time.“What, Mom?” Shiney grabbed Jim’s arm. “Don’t tell me I can’t marry Jim because I like him more than you like my dad.”Marc felt like he received an invisible slap on his coffee-soaked face.“Shiney,” Lola growled, “let go of his hand right now.”“Mom, can’t you see it?” Shiney asked.“See what?”“Brother-in-law returned home because he likes me,” Shiney confidently said. “All you need to do is give the green signal.”“Nonsense,” Lola’s face was gaining red slowly but surely. “Jim. Didn’t you leave the house, saying you’re going to live on your own
(This chapter contains explicit sexual content. Reader discretion advised.)Silence ever so slightly heated up the temperature in the room.Even though Jim had his hands on her waist, she didn’t make a sound. In fact, she had been holding her breath until he squeezed her slender waist; she let all her breath out in a moanful whoosh.A strange combination of tension and excitement assailed her. As these conflicting emotions rocked her heart, Jim’s crotch touched her from behind.Good heavens. He was still wearing the pants, but she could feel the heat through the cloth. It felt surreal.He turned her over. She looked at him with conflicting emotions visible through her eyes. Jim didn’t care. Using his fingers, he delicately moved up her waist and built up the tension in her skin and the flesh beneath even more until he removed the laces ever so subtly and undressed her top. Her delicate breasts stood high and firm, with pretty pink nipples peaking and ready already.The scent of her na
Marc, Lola, and Shiney were outside until they started hearing sounds, not voices but of the springs of the bed moving.Shiney covered her mouth in shock as she looked at her parents. “Are they…”“No way. Rena is not that stupid,” Lola confidently said, but then a moan came out of the room. Lola couldn’t help but frown.“What the hell is she doing?” Marc was about to knock on the door, but Lola brought his hand in between.“I don’t know what her game is, but let’s go,” Lola ordered. “We’ll deal with them afterward.”Despite wanting to bang on the door, Marc had to leave downstairs.Shiney, however, was reluctant to leave. A cold glance from her mother forced her to walk away, thinking, “There’s no way they are having sex, right? It’s not my sister’s voice, right?” she tried to tell herself that, even though she knew that it was likely her sister’s voice. “She’s probably trying to play tricks on me. She must be faking it.”A few minutes later.Shiney came to check on them, but the door
A medium-sized bucket full of water surely should have done the job of disturbing her sister and brother-in-law, whatever they might be doing under the darned blanket.However, nothing happened.There was no movement from the two souls currently under the blanket, which completely boggled Shiney’s mind.“What the hell? Are they both dead-drunk or something?” She tried to pull the blanket, but it was completely tucked under their bodies, and so it didn’t make it any easier for her to succeed in her mission.Moreover, she just noticed that some of the water fell on the divorce documents.“Oh, no!” she hurriedly picked the documents off the floor. She checked for signatures. After not finding them, she threw the documents away. Her sister was still under the blanket. “Rena, will you stop whatever you’re doing and show me your face?”“Shiney, how was your night with Solomon?” asked Rena.Shiney gritted her teeth. “I didn’t even meet him. He didn’t even come to our house.”“Oh, that’s too
Jim and Rena were still in the bathtub.“Keith and I used to bathe like this,” Rena said, “when we were in school. After joining college, she became too outgoing, and we didn’t meet for almost six years. After joining some company and making her job stable, she again came to my house and met me. Since then, we’ve been meeting at least once every other week. She dates a different man every weekend, so I never thought she’d get so desperate for you. I guess she doesn’t consider our friendship worth that much.”“Well, you two only meet in the bar and discuss some things,” Jim said. “And you are very secretive, so you probably didn’t reveal her anything worth remembering, so I don’t quite blame her.”“Huh?” Rena’s jaw opened. “You don’t know her. She’s a much more nasty woman than you think.”“Nasty in what sense?”“Uh, I don’t know if I should say this to you or not, but…” Rena took a breath and said, “a couple of years back, she was about to lose her job. Her boss was basically about to
“You’re what?” Bob didn’t look happy at all.“You want me to say it again? Fine,” Rena turned around and kissed Jim on the lips for a long three seconds before turning back to face Bob. “Is this enough to make you leave?”Bob clenched his fists. “What sort of a joke is this? I was told that you were ready for marriage, and I came here with expectation, but here you are, humiliating the man that has given 250,000 dollars to your mother as bridewealth in advance.”“H-Huh?” Rena was shocked. “B-Bridewealth? What do you mean?”“It means exactly what I said,” Bob growled. “Call your mom right now! If the wedding is canceled, then as per the agreement, I’ll get double the advance I paid, which means 500,000 dollars should be paid.”Rena’s heart shook for a second. “T-This must be a joke.”“Where are you, Lola Adams?” Bob yelled loud enough for his voice to reach Lola’s room, and she quickly came out of her room.Surprise surged up in her face after seeing Bob. “Bob! When did you come? Pleas
