Chapter 14 Legally married
Chapter 14
Nalzen
I wake up feeling weak, and I look around. I'm at the hospital! Who brought me in here?
And there he is...
Sleeping beside me holding my hand.
Aaron looks tired and haggard.
Did he take care of me all night?
My heart feels warm with this thought. But I know that we are not meant to be.
And how could I explain it to him? That our marriage is real?
My head is aching again. I never thought that Nica would betray me like that!
How could she do this?
Aaron has moved and he wakes up.
"Are you okay?" He asks worriedly.
"Yeah, let's go home," I said in a hoarse voice.
What is happening to me? I exerted and abused my voice yesterday. I'm very angry with Nica.
Who could have not?
"No, you can't go home wifey. You're so dehydrated and over fatigued. Just where did you go yesterday?" He asks caressing my face gently.
No matter how I control myself not to cry but my tears won't stop falling.
And Aaron was shocked seeing me in this state.
I don't want to show the weak version of me but I can't help it!
"What happened? Who hurt you?" He asks angrily.
Now, I can see a different side of Aaron.
A serious and dominant character. He looks powerful. And I'm amazed!
He is like a knight in shining armor that is ready to fight for his Queen! And I'm touched by this gesture.
"No, it's not like that. I don't know how to explain it to you." I answer sadly.
Aaron frowned and didn't understand.
"What do you mean? Just try to say it and I'm sure I can understand." He encourages me.
He is determined to know while I'm nervous and afraid to let it out!
Okay, Nalzen, just tell him the truth, or else he will know about these to others.
Nica is crazy, he might tell Aaron.
"First of all, I would like to say sorry to you. I'm sorry Aaron..." I said controlling my emotions but my tears will about to fall.
"What do you mean by that? Sorry for what?"Aaron looks puzzled.
"I didn't think that Nica will betray me. It's about our marriage..." I don't know if I will continue or not.
"Our marriage? What about it?" Now, Aaron is more serious and attentive.
I take a deep breath. Gathering the possible strength I might have.
"Our marriage is legal, Nica registered it. It's not fake! We are legally married." I close my eyes, afraid to see Aaron's reaction to this.
The room fell into silence. I can hear Aaron's breathing and he takes a deep sigh.
I'm sorry Aaron...
But don't worry I will not force you into this. I will give back your life.
I want you to be happy with Andrea.
"So, we are legally married, right? And it's not fake?" He asks assuringly.
"Yes, but don't worry. The moment I will get back my inheritance to Uncle Alberto. I will file an annulment. I will make sure to give your freedom. I'm sorry for this." I apologize again.
And will do it again and again for him not to hate me!
"Okay, we'll talk about it some other time. For now, you need to take a rest." He said just like that.
He is not angry? He is so calm as if it's not a big deal!
"It's okay with you? Do you not hate me?" I ask surprised.
He just laughs.
"Why do I? It's not you who registered our marriage. I am supposed to get angry with Nica. It's not your fault, you're also a victim. And I don't hate you for that. So, stop overthinking and relax." It's a long explanation from him that touches my heart.
He is so kind. Nica had no right to insult Aaron's status in life. Whenever I remember what she said, I will feel so much rage and anger. I wanted to slap her again!
"Here, eat these fruits then go back to sleep." He give me a mixed slice of apple, orange, grapes, and bananas.
I don't feel like eating but he makes an effort to cut these fruits. I will eat all, for him.
"Thank you," I said smiling shyly.
I was discharged from the hospital the following day. And I plan to visit Uncle Alberto again.
I will ask him when can I have our company back. I have a gut feeling that something is going on. I just can't guess what it is.
We are now at the Mansion and Aaron always takes care of me so it's hard for me to avoid him.
How can I? He is very sweet and kind.
He took care of me day and night until I was discharged from the hospital.
Then he will cook delicious food for me. And I could not ask for more.
He is my husband for real! And my heart feels happy upon knowing about this. But I am not a selfish person.
I want him to be happy. I don't like to ruin his relationship with Andrea.
And I don't like to hurt Nathan too.
In the end, I will always do what is right. Even if it hurts me a thousand times...
And now I am talking with Nathan on the phone. It's been a while since I visited him in Germany.
Did I miss him?
Yes but I honestly don't know, if I miss him.
"Dear, I'm okay. I'm happy that your company is doing great now. Your effort and hard work have paid off. Congrats Dear." I'm glad that there's no problem anymore on his side.
Hopefully, he can go home before I'm going crazy with Aaron.
"Thank you, Dear, I miss you so much... I hope I can go home now but there's so much work left that needs to be done." He said sadly.
I wanted to answer but Aaron surprisingly appear behind my back. Hugging me and giving small kisses on my neck.
Good thing that I did not let out a moan.
Just what he is doing?
I throw away his hand but he is very persistent.
His hand gets inside my shirt and massages my breast. And I'm going crazy again.
I don't want to open my mouth afraid that instead of talking. I will moan.
Aaron is a destruction to me. A temptation that I can never decline!
"Dear, are you okay? Are you still there?" Nathan sounds worried.
I give Aaron the hand signal to stop. And finally, he stops what he is doing.
"Dear, I'm still here. I just lost my internet connection." I explain and hopefully, he will understand.
"Oh okay, I'm going to say goodbye my Dear. I love you, take care..." Nathan is so sweet.
How could I answer him? Aaron is beside me. But he will think something is wrong if I don't answer him back.
"I love you too Dear. Bye..." That is all I can say then Nathan ends the call.
It's time to face my naughty hubby.
"What did you do?" I ask him pretending to be angry.
