COLD-HEARTED AND BAD TEMPERED

CHAPTER TEN

A CHILL AND A SHIVER SEND THROUGHOUT HER BODY SHE STOOD FIRM AND LOOKED INTO HIS EYES.

YES, YES I DO.

WITH THE POWER INVESTED IN ME I PRONOUNCE YOU HUSBAND AND WIFE.

Now that we are man and wife why not have that kiss we have been looking forward to?

She gather all her courage and kissed him back.

As from here, I do not want anyone intervening in our calamities anyone who interferes will pay dearly and I keep his word.

Why don't you let me take her up my son?

She looks pale and tired, I think she needs to freshen up.

Not now Nana, not now.

I clearly said I won't let anyone butt in therefore don't.

He grabs Claire by the arm.

Let's get going as for you all, you are all dismissed I want a private moment with my wife it's our night after all.

You are hurting me please let go.

I am married to you was that not enough huh?

What more do you want?

With no answer to all her questions, he picks her up and carries her.

Put me down, you know I can walk on my own.

I do but you love grabbing just about anything and have no time to waste therefore quiet.

Upon arriving at his room, he puts her down slowly.

Undress and put on something seductive for me.

What more do you want, you married me got the assets now why are you so eager to break me?

What have I done to you that you putting me through all this ordeal?

You did nothing but I just loathe you that's it.

You loathe me but why?

What have I done? Why would you marry someone you hate with intensity?

I just said nothing, do not push it. Do what you are told and be a good wife which you are.

Stop getting on my nerves already.

She runs to the table and grabs the gun, pointing it to the side of her head.

You wanted this right to be widowed the same day you got married right?

Your wish is my command.

You do whatever you wish I could care less whether you are dead or alive.

I wonder how Nana is still here and patiently putting up with you, if I were her I run as far as I can.

No wonder your parents left you.

You deserve to die in solitude.

With a gleam of pain in his eyes, he flicked it and walked away.

She fell to the floor and cry out loud.

May I come in my dear?

Yes, you may Nana.

Please be patient with him. I happen to overhear your conversation and I am not justifying his actions but

He was not always like this just one event changed his life.

Just do your wifely duty and the rest will fall into its place on its own.

But how do I do that if he is not even giving me a chance to?

If he is not harassing me it's something else.

He is deemed to hurt me.

I know he cares for you more than he led on.

trust me on this and you will see my son is not the monster he appears to be.

He detests me.

He just wants to be dominant and ruin my life.

Go to bed, I doubt he will even be back tonight.

Why wouldn't he?

He hides his arrows and pains because he doesn't want anyone to actually care and be there for him.

He locked all the doors to his heart just at 17. Goodnight.

To you too.
