Hailey
I was happily eating the ‘edible’ porridge. Well, not that happy because Robert was also eating it because of me. He doesn’t need to be that sweet, you know. He can just be like a normal husband.
But I sure love him more when he is like this.
I looked at him and he looked back at me.
“Eat your food”
“Nope,” I replied.“May I know the reason, miss?”
“I am not miss!”
“Well, Misus?”
“Yeah better!”
He laughed. What is so funny, huh? How dare he call me miss when I am married to him!
“Oh keep on laughing, I am angry” I pouted and he got up and suddenly kissed me on my lips. Then he got away and looked into my eyes.
“That is gonna be hard. Are you sure you are gonna remain angry?”
I sighed. He knows that his kiss just melted me. “Nope”
“Okay, go on”
“What? I said nope”
“To the ‘it will be hard’ part”“No! To the ‘are you gonna be angry’ part”
“Well, no”
I sighed. He is so clever with his words and I can never win from him.
“Oh cute Hailey, eat your food” he sat back and laughed. I looked at him by squinting my eyes and then continued eating. “Trust me, you are already the cutest woman already”
I raised my eyebrow and looked at him. “What has happened to you?”
“Love”“I know that though”
“You know everything about me”I smiled. “I am so lucky to have you, Rob”
“Same here, Hailey”
We both smiled and completed our food. I am so happy. Even if everything is so depressing right now, having him by my side is enough to solve most of the problems. He is so cute, so caring and everything a woman can dream of. So much has changed in him and it makes me so happy.
He got up. “Okay let me go for some time. Or do you want me to be here?”
“No you can go but I would like you to be here”
“Decide”“Well… when will you return?”
“Soon”
“Okay, go then”He nodded. “I will come fast. Bye”
“Bye”-----
Cassie
I went to Summer as she came and stared at ICUs door blindly. She was not listening to me, as though she was in some trauma or complete shock. I took her hand and then she looked at me.
“Did the doctor say when we can meet him?” she asked.
“Nope…”She sighed and I saw a tear in her eyes. She really loves him a lot.“Do you have any idea…” I started and she looked at me again. “Why was this… um… planned?”
She nodded her head in denial. “No….”
I nodded. “It will be fine”
“I hope”We sat down there and waited for him to be fine. I know he will be fine soon. But I am worried… if this was planned then it might happen again. I just can’t afford to lose him. Never.
------Two Days Later
Hailey
I was at my home with Robert. Everything has been fine. I just came home and Robert has of course been the best husband like he is.
I heard about Alex. I don’t know anything, but I know that he is fine now and that is all that matters. I wish I could be there with him, but Robert has completely sealed me inside this house.
“Just once, let me visit him!” I smiled with a frustrated face. I know I am not well but that doesn’t mean I can’t visit him even once!
“You better stay inside this house baby or everything is gonna blow up”
“Huh, what do you mean by that?”“If you step outside of this house, I am gonna burn this all down and you know I am serious”
“Why would you do something as stupid as that?”
“Well, you will be the one to do something stupid first”
I looked at him and sighed. He sighed too and went to his room. He is acting really overprotective for two days and maybe a little weird too. I wish I could know the reason but this all might be just my thinking and confusion, so I don’t think about it much.
I went to my room too. Oh sure it is our room, not his or mine but I’d sometimes call it mine.
I saw him lying on the bed and probably texting someone because he was smiling like hell.
“What’s so funny?” I asked him.
He hurriedly kept it down and sighed. “Nothing”
I looked at him suspiciously. Okay, this is skeptical.“Rob,” I asked in a stern tone. “What was it?”
“NOthing. Are you saying that you don’t trust me?”“What? No. I am just asking a simple question to which I expect a simple answer” I went to sit beside him on the bed.
“Well, expectations hurt”
“Tell me, Robert”He looked a little angry now. Why is he getting heated up on something like this? Shouldn’t he be cool and chill about it? And just tell me who the hell was… she? Maybe. Or maybe he. But it doesn't matter!
“Just keep quiet and sleep” he laid down comfortably and opened the quilt.
“Robert!”
He looked at me and took my hands in his. I looked at him scared as he took me beneath him and stared into my eyes. “What is your problem, Hailey! Can’t you understand a simple thing?”
That second, I felt a little weird. Something was definitely wrong. Oh no. I don’t want all this to start again!
HaileyHe stared into my eyes. I really don’t wanna live in that time again, I don’t want him to become like that once again. But the aura he had yet again was similar to that and it was freaking me out.I thought he had a change of heart.I looked back into his eyes.“Robert. Get off me…” I whispered, lovingly. I know that, if I want him to listen to me, I have to be polite. He just looked at me, without saying anything. I waited for him to react.Then he traced his finger around my face and sighed. “You are beautiful”“I know,” I whispered. I don’t know why, but he feels so different. Then he looked at my lips and slowly kissed them. I kissed him back because he hates it when I don’t.His kiss too felt a little different but I ignored it. Then he got away and laid beside me. I sighed and calmed my heart. My heartbeat was over 100, I guess.
SummerI was at home with Alex. His hand was hurt and his leg also almost fractured, so he is on bed rest. After long pleadings with the doctor, we were able to bring him home. They wanted to keep him there.I brought water to him and sat beside him. We just came yesterday and he is already so bored. I heard Hailey was also fine, but we couldn’t visit her because Robert had told us all to stay in our houses and take care of each other. Well, I don’t know if that was a good decision, though.I kept the glass on the table near his bed. He looked at me. “You are so good, Summer. I mean, really. You do so much for me--”“Uh, don’t start again” I sighed. He is suddenly on with his gratitude for everything since last night.“uh okay. Well, how is Hailey? Did you talk to her on the phone?”“Oh no, not today. Yesterday I asked her, she was good”“That&rsq
HaileyI was looking at him shocked when he said it. He is joking, right? Maybe playing..? He can’t hurt me!“What are you saying, Robert…” I whispered. I didn’t know how to react to something like this because I had thought I would never face it again. But here he was, again saying the same thing.“You know what I am saying, don’t you? I don’t think you have any sort of hearing problems. If you do, then tell me, I would consult a doctor” he said so with a smile.I was completely taken aback. I didn’t know a single thing.Don’t tell me my entire work, everything I ever did, sacrificed, worked for, and compromised… went to waste. This is a nightmare.I have to wake up, this can’t be the reality.I closed my eyes. “Closing your eyes won’t change a thing”I got up from the couch we were sitting at. He smir
Hailey“Did you forget your birthday too?” he asked me.Oh fuck, really? like really? I forgot my own birthday!“O-oh seems like”he laughed. “Well, it’s okay. Now we’re gonna celebrate your birthday”I smiled. Yes! It is gonna be so much fun. Maybe I will make new memories and forget what happened today anyway.“Yeahh” I replied.The car started and the speed was good. I was enjoying the scenes that went by. It looked so beautiful. My life was going smoothly and it was good. I know that it is not a good sign, what happened today but anyway I do think that maybe it was some prank. I mean, he never gave any explanation… but I don’t know.I just can’t jump to the conclusion that he is acting. I trust him, after all we are married for two years. and maybe one year wasn’t so beautiful, only I know how much I loved the last year
HaileyI looked at him as we stared out of the window. I was so shocked as he said it.“What work?” I asked him. He looked at me and took my hands in his.“You just have to take over my business”“What? Why?”“Because I want you too”“Firstly that makes no sense because I am not a businesswoman and secondly, for that you brought me here and did all that? Unbelievable”He sighed. “look Hailey. I knew you would not agree. And you may not understand how important this is to me, so I thought to keep a backup plan”“Backup plan? To blackmail me?”“I…” he sighed. “You can just use better words”“Like what?”“Like to just explain you”“That makes no sense. You have no better words for this. there aren’t any better words. I don’t know why you
HaileyI just stared at him as he came to me and took my hand in his. “If you think it was my fault, you are wrong. You made me yell--”“Can you just stop now…” I whispered. “I beg you, don’t ruin everything we made in a year so easily”“But why? I am right--”“I beg you, Robert” I had tears in my eyes by now.He stopped and scoffed. “I don’t even know what we did last year”“You sure don’t know” I looked down. If he knew, he would not be doing this right now!We were walking to his car. I wish I knew what was the reason behind this but seems like I don’t. Maybe this all was planned? and the year was fake? I can think the worst right now and it all will seem true to me after all this happened.After I was sure that we would be happy forever now.“What are you thinking?” he as
HaileyWe reached home and he stopped the car. I got out and he did too.He came to me and took my hand. “let’s go”I looked at him. He was acting like nothing happened. How can he behave like that? He basically told me that I have to be his maid, like he wanted me to be before. But he is acting like we are the perfect lovely couple.We went inside anyway and he closed the door behind him.“Now”I looked at him as he spoke. “Hm?” I asked.“We are gonna start straight away” he went to a corner of the room and brought a few files. “you are gonna know about some of the trustees of my company”“Can we start later?” I asked him, sighing. “I just had the most interesting day--”“No, right now” he went and sat on the couch. “Sit”I sighed and sat there. There is something wrong
Hailey“That’s enough” he finally closed the files. I sighed loudly. Finally this shit has ended. But it sure gave me a bad headache and I wanna die right now.I got up. “I’ll just sleep--”“Make me tea,” he interrupted me.I stared at him and looked away as I was frustrated. I sighed loudly. I can’t!“I am really tired”“I don’t give a fuck--”“And i don’t give a fuck about your business” I interrupted. I can’t take this anymore. “And I am gonna do what I want”He smirked at me. “Hailey, tsk. You really think that can happen?”“Why are you doing this?”“Why am I asking my wife to make me tea?”“No. Why are you torturing me?”He stood up and I took a step back. “Do you even know what is torture?”“
