Chapter 7

It was past two o'clock when I woke up feeling heavy. My vision was all blurred, and my whole body hurt like hell, especially my lower region.

I roamed my eyes around the room. Gradually, frustration overtook my feelings when I did not see the person I was expecting.

What can I expect? It all happened because of lust. We were just carried away by the heat of the moment, nothing more, nothing less.

"AHH!" I yelled as I tried to sit up and fell back again on the bed.

Fuck! I didn't know it would hurt like hell. I didn't try to move anymore, I just let myself lie down.

Seems it's my bad luck today. I think I might also have the flu, because my muscles were throbbing in pain.

I smiled bitterly. "And my husband is not by my side after what happened with us," I whispered softly.

I wanted to cry, but it is my fault. I let my body be a slave for his touch and kisses.

How should I deal with him after this?

Stop thinking Cassandra, I am sure he doesn't want to make a big deal of what happened. He left you here, didn't he?

Then I remembered what happened before I fell asleep.

"Yeah, maybe he's with her now, doing the same thing," I said, annoyed.

I just tried to ignore what was running through my mind and rested. I need more rest, I don't need to overthink. I gently wrapped my body in the blanket because of how cold I was.

It'd been a few minutes since I closed my eyes, but then my phone rang.

I could not open my eyes, so I just dug it out by judging where the noise was coming from. When I finally got hold of it, I just answered the call without looking at it.

"H-hello?" I said exhaustedly.

Because of my unwell state, I didn't even understand what the caller was saying. I just let go of the phone and let the darkness consume my vision.

I woke up in a white room. My vision was still blurred, but I knew that I was at a hospital.

"Bro, she's awake." I heard someone said.

"Baby are you okay?" a familiar voice spoke.

I felt like hallucinating. I closed my eyes again, and the darkness consumed me again.

When I woke up again, I felt a little better. My lower body still hurt, but my eyesight had improved, so I was shocked when I saw Andrei sitting, sleeping next to my hospital bed. He was still wearing office clothes, so I knew he had not gone home yet.

"Andrei..." I called softly, then patted his face lightly.

Slowly, his eyes widened. He quickly stood up and touched my shoulder, arm, and hand.

"What?! Where are you hurting? I'll call the nurse," he said, panicked.

"Stop. I'm okay, well not totally okay, but I feel a little better." I convinced him.

He sighed, as if a thorn had pulled out of his chest, then sat down again. He held my hand, so I was a little confused.

"I'm sorry," he said sincerely, so I stared at him.

"For?" I asked.

Sorry because he fucked me?

"If it weren't for my stupidity, you wouldn't be hospitalized," he said, guilty.

My eyebrow raised automatically. "What do you mean? It's normal for someone to get sick Andrei. You don't have to blame yourself."

He hesitated to look at me, and lowered his gaze.

"It's because I took your virginity, baby. That's why you are here, confined with laceration. Damn it! I should have listened to you when you said you can't handle my size."

"W-wait what? Laceration, what is that?" I asked. Is that a serious illness? Was that another word for Aids?

Andrei sighed first.

"Let's just say that your pet down there was very hurt, because of my huge size, that even the inside of it was wounded,” he explained.

I covered my face in shame.

Gosh! I was hospitalized because of that? I got sick because of that? Argh!

He removed my hands from my face. He looked at me seriously, then put my hair behind my ear. "The doctor said you need to rest for about a week. You must not move first to get well quickly," he said, then squeezed my hand.

I only answered with a nod.

"I'll buy our food first, I know you haven't eaten yet," he said, then I smiled sparingly.

Don't be like that. I might forget that someone already owns you.

"Do not you have a job?" I asked, then averted my eyes.

"My secretary will take care of that; for now I will take care of you first, until you are okay," he muttered.

I just gave him a fake smile and then averted my eyes again.

Yeah right, he has time now to care for you because you are sick, Cassandra. Once you are healed, you will not be able to reach him in the room again.

Fuck Cassandra. You say one thing, but you gave in so easily.

A few days passed, I was basically lying down all day every day, and sitting up only to eat. The doctor said that I could go home and get well there, but Andrei prefers to stay, so someone can take care of me in case there is an emergency.

My first day in the hospital was hell, I cried every time I peed because of the pain. Fortunately, as the day progressed, the pain gradually decreased.

Andrei did not go to work for a week, he only worked on his laptop, in case he had any proposals to approve. He was also the one who took care of my family business.

I also noticed that he left the room every time his lover called.

How did I notice that? Simply put, he answers almost everyone who calls him right in front of me, but when she's the one who calls, he leaves.

We also didn't talk about what happened between the two of us. Maybe that means we should forget what happened.

Finally, I was discharged from the hospital. The next day, we went straight to the office; he helped me with things I needed to learn.

Daddy did not know that laceration was the reason why I was hospitalized, Andrei just told them I had the flu. It was in my favor, so my parents would not expect something from the two of us.

"Yah! You're such a useless friend, you didn't even called me after your wedding, and now you use the excuse that you got sick," Ayesha muttered.

We were at the old cafe we ​​used to go to together.

"Sorry," I said as I tried to make myself cute.

She just tsked and looked at me seriously.

"So how's your honeymoon?"

I spit out all the coffee from my mouth at that moment.

"What the fuck Cass. So gross." Ayesha complained while wiping her face.

"Fuck! Don't even ask that," I said, annoyed.

I tried to forget what happened, but my demon friend reminded me.

Her eyes widened as she pointed at me.

"What?" I groaned, then wiped my lips.

"Oh my gosh. Something happened, so was it delicious? Well you must have really enjoyed it. AHAHAH!"

"You’re really a fucking demon. What the hell comes out of your mouth,” I hissed.

"Wait, you were hospitalized after your wedding. Hmmmm, don't tell me you were hospitalized because you couldn't handle his pet?"

I could feel the warmness on my face at what my friend was saying. Her instincts were good.

"Oh my gosh! Is it really huge?! Or is your pussy just really small. HAHAHA!"

I gave her a death glare, so even though she wanted to laugh she manage to hide it.

"Okay, okay seriously. So your relationship is going well now. Something happened to you, that means you are developing," she said.

I was silent for a moment, then gave her a fake smile.

"What the fuck? Spill it."

I shrugged.

"Something happened to us, yes, but it ends there. Remember he had a lover, right?" I said.

"So? You're married to him, you have rights," she uttered.

The bitterness spread even more in my system.

"Should I really called it rights?" I asked before looking outside.

She did not say a word.

"I have no rights, because between the two of us, I was not the first. Most of all, we are married, but we have no relationship, while they do."

"After I got out of the hospital, he slept in the guest room. We also don't talk much, if not necessary, so I think he draws a line, right? "

Ayesha just shook her head at what I told her.

"Do you love him?"

I was stunned by Ayesha's question.

Love? What is it?

"I don't think so. Maybe it's all just lust. He's a man, of course no man will reject a woman," I reasoned, even though in my heart, I am also confused.
