The Soldier Husband

Having left his hometown with shattered relationships due to his decision to join the military Matthew Rong returns after nine and a half years, uncertain of how people will treat him. Lexi Yao, the only person who supported his decision, left less than two years later leaving her family and her child. Just weeks after the birth of her child in an arranged family marriage her husband of less than a year died, putting her in a position that she could not cope. Eventually, when she was ready, she returned to her hometown to resume full-time care of her child bringing her now successful fashion business with her. Matthew had never forgotten the promises Lexi made to marry him prior to and in the twelve months after he joined the military, despite her marriage and becoming a widow. He hoped that he would be able to marry her and secure for them both the future that they had believed was there for them as teenagers. Just after Matthew’s return, having reluctantly agreed to drive Matthew home after a celebration for not only his return but the engagement of their brothers, Lexi and Matthew were kidnapped by the terrorist who helped make Matthew’s career seeing his rapid promotion to General. To protect Lexi, Matthew knew he needed to use changes in the law to protect her and their assets that the Terrorist sought to exploit and committed to her through a forced marriage ceremony at the hands of the Terrorists. For Matthew this was the one thing that had kept him going, and for Lexi she only agreed to protect herself believing there was no legal validity in the ceremony. On their rescue Lexi was confronted with the truth of another forced marriage and was determined to escape this to have her own life, free from domination by men. Matthew not only was left to fight to secure the love of his life but to protect his friends and family from the terrorist who decided that they were fair game in the pursuit of his goals. Can Matthew succeed and win? Can Lexi learn to trust and forgive Matthew? Will the one secret that she has been keeping for eight years drive them apart? This is the story of their journey, with their friends and family along for the ride. Note – for those who have read my first story Offer to the CEO, our favourite couple makes appearances here, with Anna becoming a huge supporter and friend of our Female Lead. Extract: “Matthew, you b*stard. You knew our marriage would be valid, and you forced it on me. You are no better than my parents who arranged my first marriage?” “What did you want me to do? Let you be killed?” “You should have thought about me, not your own selfish needs. Get the hell out of my sight and let me be I'm going to stay away from you.” “Forget it. You are the wife of a military officer. You will live in my villa and forget about going anywhere without my permission. It is not safe.” “Safe? I am not safe from you, everyone, everything and everywhere else is safe!” Please note the cover artwork is not mine. Also while at the start of this story it may seem that the lead is male, in fact the lead is a female lead (be patient for this to be shown)

28 December, Unknown location outside city K

As Matthew complied with the Devil's demand Lexi could observe that this was terrifying him as much as the situation had been terrifying her. She read in his eyes, despite not wanting to see it, that he was attempting to protect her as best he could.

Matthew, as he was following the demands to protect Lexi, could hear the Devil become more and more aroused by what he was observing and demanded that they keep going until he had, using his hands satisfied himself. "That was good you two. I will give you a little break before I come back and decide what you will do next."

With that he walked out the door which he did not shut. Matthew gathered Lexi in his arms and whispered "It will be alright. We will get out of this."

They soon heard the Devil yell, "Give me that woman" followed by a scream and a gun shot. Matthew tensed and believed as a captive had refused to comply with the Devil's demand, he had sent a message by killing her to those around. He then heard "Give me that one then," and heard more screams from several women.

A few seconds later, Matthew could hear grunting evidencing that the Devil or one of his minions had brought a hapless girl close to the room they were chained in and forcibly engaging in s*xual intercourse with her, which she screamed "No" repeatedly.

Matthew, with his eyes closed paused and considered the situation. It was clear that the Devil, his minions and some key personal within ISX were going to use the two of them to arouse themselves to allow them to s*xually abuse other women. But something was not right. The Devil seemed anxious about something, but what, that was the question. Was it simply his presence or was it something else in his plans? That he realised he needed to be quiet and gather what information he could while here to bring him down.

One question though troubled Matthew. He knew he needed to keep Lexi safe. There was little he could do at this time, because any move would condemn her and others to an immediate death. However, Matthew knew that he could play his trump card, as it would lead to Lexi's rescue. He reached up and removed the talisman from around his neck.

Carefully putting it on Lexi he said, "This will keep you safe like it has kept me safe since you gave it to me." Matthew then used that opportunity to carefully activate the hidden GPS locator at its lowest and most protective setting. While that will mean it wakes time not only for the signal to be detected by the systems it would minimise any risk that the Devil, his minions of ISX would detect the signal, increasing the longer-term prospects of rescue. He just wondered how long it would take for the signal to be detected, and if anyone was looking for them.

Lexi, however, at the words of Matthew, reached up and hugged his neck. Despite everything and what he had just done to her, he was the only piece of safety in this whole situation that she knew. She buried herself as close as she could to him, simply to try and shield herself from what she could hear going on around her. Those sounds were terrifying and made her worry about what was to come.
