Maybe this is why we read, and why in moments of darkness we return to books: to find words for what we already know.
After the wedding, Ellen took Sophie to the small apartment he lived in."Ellen," Sophie called.She walked up to him while Ellen was busy taking off his tie."Hm? What's wrong?"Seeing the troubled look on her face, Ellen quickly wiped her cheeks and asked again."What's wrong, Sophie? Don't you like it here in my small apartment? Isn't it enough for us to live in?"Sophie shook her head quickly."No, Ellen. I don't think it's small or unlivable. I like it. And it's more than enough.""But what made you put on this troubled face?"Ellen touched Sophie's cheek and kissed her forehead."Tell me everything you're thinking, Sophie. Whether it's bad or good, I want to hear it. And I'll make sure to sort things out.""I was just thinking about what happened at our wedding, Ellen."Ellen frowned in confusion."About what?"Sophie looked straight at Ellen."About David suddenly getting very angry and hitting you at our wedding. I don't know what made him act like that. Was there a problem be
As per Sophie's wish, Ellen took her to a beach not far from the city. They went during the weekend because Sophie didn't want to take any more time off since she had just gotten a job.Ellen drove the car. They were already halfway to the beach. Sophie was surprised that in the morning, Ellen had suddenly gotten ready in a luxury car that she had never seen before.When she asked whose car it was, Ellen replied that it was a friend's car. And HE borrowed it during their honeymoon."Is it still long?" Sophie asked. She was starting to feel sleepy from the long journey.Ellen glanced at Sophie with a sympathetic look."Almost there. After we get to the villa, we can take a rest before going out."Villa?" Sophie frowned."Yes, the villa. I've rented the villa that we'll be staying in during our honeymoon."Sophie immediately put on a surprised expression when she heard that."You rented a villa?!"She couldn't believe that Ellen had secretly rented a villa for their honeymoon."What's w
Ellen and Sophie spent time together during their honeymoon. However, Ellen respects Sophie's decision that she is not ready to give herself completely to him. Even so, Ellen is ready to wait any time until Sophie is ready.They decide to return to their small apartment after returning from the beach.When they arrived, Sophie received a phone call from her parents."Hello, moms," Sophie greeted."Sophie, my sweetheart. Are you back from your honeymoon?"Sophie's mom's voice came from the other end of the line.Sophie asked with a confused expression."We just got back to the apartment, Mom. What's wrong?""Apartment? Whose apartment?""Ellen's apartment, of course. We're officially married, so it's only natural that I live together with my husband, Mom.""Where's your husband?"Sophie turned her head towards the bathroom to check if Ellen had finished bathing."Ellen is still bathing, Mom. What's wrong, what do you want to talk to Ellen about?""This tonight, I'll come to your apartm
Ellen took Sophie from her small apartment to the new house they were going to live in. She is surprised to see the house so big and luxurious. She questioned how Ellen could afford the house. Sophie stared in disbelief at Ellen. Her eyeballs widened when she noticed how big the house was. "Ellen, are you sure this is our house?" Ellen stood behind Sophie, holding her by the shoulders. He smiled proudly. "Yes, of course, it's our house. From now on, we will live here. In this house." Sophie immediately turned around with a surprised expression. "Impossible. How can you afford such a big and luxurious house? It's probably worth billions, Ellen!" Ellen looked very calm as he responded to Sophie's words. "I won the contest and got this house," he said, lying. Sophie furrowed her brow. Still wearing a look of disbelief. "A contest?!" "It was a contest I entered a while ago. And I won first place. The prize was a mansion," Ellen told her. He had a serious expression on his face
Ellen woke up in the morning. He moaned as he tried to move his body to face Sophie who was still fast asleep with his arm as a cushion.What happened last night was truly amazing. Ellen smiled happily as he looked at the peace on Sophie's face."We are now officially husband and wife," he whispered, softly. He kissed Sophie's forehead.Sophie squirmed as she felt something wet touch her forehead, then her lips. She gasped in surprise when she saw that Ellen had just kissed her."Ellen," she whispered with a blush on her face.Ellen smiled and grinned."Good morning, baby," Ellen greeted."Morning, Ellen," Sophie replied.Ellen could see the blush on Sophie's face. It looked so sweet at the same time. He kissed her lips again before speaking."How are you?"Sophie blinked."My co-condition?" she stammered in response to Ellen's sudden question."Yes, are you okay? I wanted to make sure that you weren't hurt. Last night I was too-"Before he could finish his sentence, Sophie's finger p
Agatha woke up with pain in her head. Everything seemed to be spinning around and she felt extremely dizzy. She winced as she lifted her head and realized she was in the basement. It looked like a secret room.Agatha's face paled as she realized that she was sitting with her hands and feet tied. She could not move or escape at all."Damn it! Help me," she shouted, loudly, but no one stepped in to help her.Agatha stared in all directions looking for a way out or trying to break free."Help! Anyone, help me!" she cried again.But, still, no one came.A few minutes later, after Agatha was tired of shouting, she suddenly heard the door being opened so loudly. A big man, she remembered him as the man who drugged her, came in with something in his hand."Let me go, you bastard! How dare you keep me like this!" Agatha shouted. "This must be Ellen's doing, right? He told you to keep me here, didn't he?"Agatha's neck muscles hardened. Her eyes glared at him."Quiet!" he snapped. "Here's some
Ellen swallowed with difficulty. He felt like his throat was choking. His heart was beating so fast, his body felt so hot, burning.He stared intently at Agatha who was smiling slyly at him. It could be seen from the look on her face that she was so satisfied and happy to see him aroused like this."How does it feel, Ellen? You can touch me if you want," Agatha said with a smirk at the corner of her lips.Ellen gritted his teeth angrily, still trying to restrain himself from the overwhelming turmoil he was feeling right now.He clenched his fists as he cursed."Shit! You cheap woman!""Come here, Ellen..."When Agatha tried to grab Ellen's hand, he immediately dodged."You disgust me," he said with a disgusted look at Agatha.While trying to restrain himself, he rushed to the basement and ordered the guards to tie Agatha's hands back together and made sure to put a plaster over her mouth.Ellen walked back into the house with staggering steps. He tried to restrain the turmoil of lust
Sophie saw that Ellen was awake when she came out of the bathroom. She saw him moaning with pain in his head as he held it with his right hand."Ellen, are you okay?" Sophie asked with a worried expression.When Sophie caught his whimpering in pain, Ellen immediately changed his expression to a calm one."Yes, I'm fine," Ellen replied.Sophie raised one eyebrow. She walked closer to the bed."Are you sure? You don't look fine," she said."Just a little dizzy. No big deal."Ellen then tried to change the subject."Are you going to work soon? Then I'll shower and go too," he said as he got out of bed.Seeing Ellen's strange behavior, Sophie grabbed his hand and made him stop walking."Ellen," she called in a low voice.Ellen turned to her with a furrowed brow."What's wrong?""Are you really okay? You don't look like your usual self. You were ... acting strange last night, Ellen," she said, admitting.Sophie had been feeling restless since last night. Even when she woke up earlier, her
