Unforgiving Husband

Most brides, on their wedding day, often burst into happiness. But not Rebecca Blaze. Her eyes were puffy and red, and her cheeks were swollen pink. She had been slapped twice today. First, by her best friend Vivian Brown and by her mother-in-law, Madam Lea Miller.

No, make up could cover her disheveled appearance. She looked worse than a shabby beggar. There was even an oil that was poured on her head. Though her wedding dress was expensive, the wine that was thrown in her face trickled down to her chest, down to her wedding gown, leaving an ugly discoloration.

But Rebecca could not protest. She had to endure being in the room with people who wanted to devour her. She told herself that one hour more, she would be out of this misery. This morning she received a call that both her mother and brother would be flying out of the country. And once Rebecca was certain that these two people were safely hidden, she would abandon this farce wedding.

She paid a lot of money to make sure that her mother and brother could be kept hidden abroad. The three of them had been targeted by her stepbrother, Kenneth, and by her husband, Justin.

Rebecca was fully aware that today's wedding was meant to embarrass her to the max. Last month, she and her husband Justin Miller took their marriage license at the Marriage Bureau under the strong coercion of her stepbrother, Kenneth. On that day, under Justin's evil and fiery gaze, Rebecca knew that her life would be changed for the worse.

After signing their marriage, Justin immediately left the building without glancing back. Rebecca went home alone to comfort her mother and brother.

Then again, yesterday, Kenneth ordered Rebecca to go to Push Hotel to attend her wedding. Rebecca was perplexed since she had not chosen any wedding gown. She was supposed to sneak out of the country with her mother and brother, but had to unfortunately attend a wedding event which she had no preparation at all. But her mother's travel was made in high secrecy, therefore Rebecca was confident it could be accomplished today.

But whatever would happen today, her mother and brother must fly out of the country. Rebecca was certain she could handle any adverse events planned by her brother and husband today. Therefore, Rebecca was left behind.

Thus, Rebecca endured everything today. When Vivian visited her to ask why she did it, Rebecca did not answer a word, thus Vivian, out of anger, slapped her.

It was just what Rebecca wanted, to be slapped so that she could purport to black out. After Vivian slapped her, Rebecca immediately fainted.

Vivian looked at her hand, she was scared of what she did. She only gave her a weak slap to shake her up, but why did Rebecca faint? Thus she carried Rebecca and helped her sleep on the couch. Vivian was so anxious of what she did with her best friend that she hurriedly ran way like a rabbit.

Rebecca peered at the escaping back of Vivian. She was still lying on the couch weakly when her mother-in-law entered the room, shouting angrily. Not again, Rebecca grumbled.

"Rebecca, what do you mean by sleeping on the couch now and letting people wait for you? Do you mean to embarrass the Miller family with your insolence! Get up, get up!" Lea Miller's face was full of contempt as she hurled more insults to her. Since Rebecca did not move, Lea Miller slapped her on the other cheek.

Rebecca pretended not to hear anything. Thus Lea Miller kicked her. The kick hurt, but no matter, she had to bid for more time. Her mother and brother had not yet boarded the plane! Thus she feigned to weakly stand up and swayed towards the waiter carrying the wine and scented oil for the room. The oil was spilled on her hair. The wine formed a brown blotch on her gown.

Her hair got disarrayed when Lea Miller pulled her up since Rebecca bent her head.

When she stood up, her lipstick smudged to the sides of her lips, the black eye mascara darkened her eyeliner.

Tick tick tock tick.

Tick tock tick tock.

The sound of the clock heightened her senses.

Rebecca kept looking at the clock hanged on the wall. A cold sweat formed on her forehead.

Then her phone rang. She quickly listened to the voice that whispered. "The plane had departed to Luxembourg. They are safe."

Rebecca almost collapsed to the floor. Tears of gratefulness welled in her eyes.

Rebecca looked like a zombie bride. But because her mother and brother had flown out of the country, she then slowly strolled towards the wedding hall with full smiles while Lea Miller followed her with contemptuous glare.

Nobody could touch her family now. She felt relieved and triumphant.

"I Rebecca Miller, would never be defeated." Rebecca smiled with a weird smile formed on her lips.

Now everybody in the party looked at her evil grin and was of the conclusion that what they heard was true. That this bride had been just like her mistress-mother Michelle, both evil women who broke up happy relationships.

When Rebecca sat in the middle of the wedding banquet, she was alone. Her husband Justin stood far away, looking at her with grim eyes and thin lips. He meant to humiliate her and make her a laughing stock by abandoning the bride at the wedding banquet.

However, Rebecca did not look embarrassed at all but was happily devouring several dishes, her favorite walnut cake and raspberry ice cream.

For the past three days, she barely ate when she was busy planning to slip her mother and brother abroad. Now that they were out, her stomach felt hungry for the first time. Uncaring of the other's gazes, she ate with gusto!

****

One Month Ago.

Rebecca Glaze, eighteen years old, a Music and Arts Major, used to enjoy the rich life of a spoiled daughter when her father was still alive. But when their father, Donald Blaze suddenly died of a heart attack two months ago, the eldest Kenneth Blaze, took over the entire business of the DB company.

Although she and Kenneth had the same father, but Kenneth had a deep hatred for Rebecca's mother. For him, Rebecca and her mother Michelle and her brother Michael always reminded him of his father's unfaithfulness. Rebecca's mother, Michelle, was the second wife of Donald after he divorced Kenneth's mother.

After Donald blaze was laid to rest in the cemetery, Kenneth and his biological mother Roxanne Blaze, started their revenge. They both oppressed Michelle, Rebecca and Michael and even made them leave the rich mansion. However, Rebecca knew that her father left a big sum of money for them.

Rebecca also wanted to cut the ties with Kenneth and Roxanne. She did not like to stay with him and his mother, considering that they always oppressed and insulted her mother and brother.

Worse, Kenneth imprisoned Rebecca's mother. He even threatened to stop her medical treatment. Rebecca promised Kenneth that they would disappear from his life. She just wanted to get her shares and her money from the bank so that she could continue the treatment of her mother.

However, before Kenneth released the shares and bank transfer to Rebecca, he made Rebecca performed something unforgivable. First, Kenneth had been in love with Rebecca's best friend Vivian Brown, but Vivian was engaged to Justin Miller.

At first, out of conscience, Rebecca refused to perform Kenneth's evil plan to bring Vivian to his bed. But seeing that her mother was already failing in health, Rebecca had no recourse but to do what Kenneth asked her.

To show his sincerity to release Rebecca's mother, Kenneth even brought a doctor to the mansion to cure Michelle. The doctor told Rebecca that Michelle had to be operated abroad. And this procedure entailed a lot of money.

If their father, Donald was alive, this should not be a problem since Donald loved Michelle very much. However, Donald died suddenly leaving Michelle depressed and sick. Donald's death was a shock to her, causing her heart to malfunction.

As between her friend and her mother, blood relations was more important. Without further hesitation, Rebecca invited Vivian to have dinner with her at the Plush Hotel, alleging that she was celebrating her brother Michael's birthday. However, to Rebecca's surprise, Justin suddenly appeared and joined the dinner.

Rebecca hesitated several times to execute the plan. She felt guilty for Vivian, who was a nice and kind girl.

Looking at Justin, Rebecca felt nervous. Justin was a sharp person and even though he was cold to other people, he was always nice and polite to both of them, Rebecca and Vivian, acknowledging that they had been friends since they were small children.

The family of Justin arranged his marriage to Vivian, for both of them belonged to the echelon of the business society. As to Rebecca, since she was the daughter of the former mistress Michelle, she was not deemed a suitable wife for the excellent young heir of the Miller clan.

Although everybody knew that Rebecca was spoiled by her father, Donald, still, she was considered inferior by Justin's family. Not that it affected Rebecca, because for her, she ought to find her own love destiny and should not depend on the arrangement of the family.

In fact, she thought that it was unfair for Vivian to be arranged for the marriage to Justin. But Vivian said that she was not minding getting married to Justin who was an excellent and well sought golden bachelor in the wealthy society. Although she had no love for Justin, she said that love was something that could be learned.

But now, as it turned out, her stepbrother Kenneth had other plants which forced Vivian to change her destiny and for Rebecca to hurt some people.

On that day that birthday party, Rebecca secretly dropped a drug in Vivian's drink. However, Justin appeared out of nowhere with his bodyguards. Justin wore his favorite black suit matched with his leather shoes. As usual, he looked dashing and handsome which made the women at the party drooled on him. But Justin only sat beside Vivian and Rebecca. Since they were friends for long years, he smiled at both of them and greeted Michael.,

Justin gave a box of Switzerland watch to Michael. The latter smiled widely, he knew Justin was always generous. While Justin and Michael bantered, Justin became distracted and drank Vivian's drink.

Rebecca was flabbergasted. However, she had to accomplish her mission since Kenneth was watching like a hawk at the corner. As a result, Rebecca had to put another drug on Vivian's glass.

Vivian became intoxicated, thus Rebecca summoned her to come with her to her room on the 10th floor. At that time, Justin, who also booked a room at the 10th floor followed them. Rebecca kept looking back at Justin, who also looked flushed just like Vivian.

Rebecca had no idea that the drug was also affecting Justin since she was so focused on her task on Vivian.

Now, Rebecca was in a dilemma about how to handle Justin, who kept looking at them with cold eyes. Rebecca did not know whether Justin had discovered her plan or he pretended to just follow them, knowing nothing. When they reached her VIP room, Rebecca helped Vivian entered the suite. She saw Justin entered his room located in the adjacent room.

Vivian complained that she was feeling uncomfortable ."I do not feel well, I am so uncomfortable Becca..."

"Just close your eyes, a doctor will be here soon." Rebecca whispered. She then stood up and went to the bathroom, but was surprised to see that Kenneth was standing inside with a cold look. Rebecca shivered from the iciness of Kenneth.

"You can leave now." Kenneth ordered Rebecca.

"Will she be alright?" Rebecca hurriedly asked her stepbrother whose eyes glinted with vileness.

"What? Are you backing out now? Should I throw your mother out? " His voice was cold.

"No, no, I go now" Rebecca desperately wanted to go to Vivian, to shake her up and drag her out of the room.

But before Rebecca could make a move, Kenneth stepped up, pushed her our of the bedroom and locked her out.

Rebecca's hair stood up, her conscience, making her fear heightened. She sobbed and knocked the room again. "Brother Kenneth, brother.. Open the room."

Rebecca was really in a panic mode. Kenneth was not opening the door. She was not a young girl who did not know what would happen if a man and a woman were both trapped inside the room.

Rebecca persistently knocked on the door. Hearing the desperate sounds from her friend Vivian, Rebecca knocked again. But all she heard was the sounds of struggle. Thus she looked at left and right and remembered that Justin was on the adjacent door.

Justin was Vivians fiance, therefore Rebecca was confident that if she approached Justin , he would help Vivian .

Rebecca then rushed towards the adjacent room where she saw Justin walked in. She intended to knock, but then noticed that the door was ajar thus she pushed it open.

Rebecca went inside the room and looked around for Justin since she could not see any person inside. Then she heard the sound of the shower running in the bathroom.

Knowing that she was running out of time, Rebecca knocked on the bathroom door . Suddenly it was opened. Rebecca opened her mouth to tell Justin that Vivian was in danger at the other room .

"Justin, please help Vivian ." she held her hand to grab Justin . But when she touched Justin's arm, it felt so hot even when he was doused in water .

Rebecca had no idea that Justin had taken an overdose of the drug . First , Justin had taken what she gave to Vivian , and then another woman had also dropped a pill in his bottle.

Overall, the effect on Justin was so fast that he had to run to the bathroom and cool down his temperature . When Rebecca touched his arm , she was like an igniter. Justin was unable to hold himself and only saw a woman as his antidote.

Rebecca did not know what happened next. Justin dragged her towards the bed and threw her at the middle of the mattress. Justin hurriedly removed his clothes and when Rebecca saw that he was standing naked, with his eyes lusting like a wild animal, she knew that she was in a very big trouble. Although Justin looked so manly on his strong abs, firm muscles and flushed skin, Rebecca looked away when she notice his firm manhood.

She forgot that Justin also drank the glass of wine which she prepared for Vivian. She blamed no one but herself. She was such an idiot. She wanted to struggle and run away, but Justin was very strong when he dropped himself on top of her .

Many times, Rebecca tried to slip out from Justin's strong hold but he always managed to catch her back. Rebecca suffered many bruises . Justin was like a wild animal and she was like a wild prey who attempted to escape several times.

Rebecca bumped her head and she suffered several concussions. When Justin dragged her feet back to the bed, she almost suffered broken bones .

Rebecca was also an athletic woman and she was able to claw a lot of skin on Justin. Although she protected herself the best she could, in the long end she lost her virginity that night.

The man who took her virginity probably had no idea who she was, and Rebecca lost it out of karma. Thus she did not blame Justin.

Due to the strong effects of drugs, it took long hours of suffering for Rebecca to be freed from Justin's sexual assaults. Such that when Justin let her go, Rebecca's energy was drained and she fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion. Her voice was hoarse.

It was already morning when she woke up from the sounds of banging on the door . It appeared that there were many people outside of their door. Somebody was calling her name. " Rebecca Rebecca come out!" The voice was faintly heard from her sleepy head.

Rebecca robbed her aching head and tried to stand up. She could not hear the voice anymore. But she felt so weak that she dropped her head and hit another head. She turned around and saw Justin also rubbing his forehead.

When Justin opened his eyes, he was surprised to find Rebecca, who was also looking back at him.

"What are you doing in my bed?" Justin asked in a cold voice.

" You dragged me here and forced yourself on me, " Rebecca answered angrily. Although it was her fault, she still felt wronged. " I came here to look for your help, but you threw me on this bed and would not let me go!"

" That is unbelievable." Justin denied Rebecca's allegation even though he suspected she spoke the truth. But then, he could not remember inviting Rebecca inside his room, so how can he drag her inside? His mind was busy trying to recall the events.

Rebecca was furious, but again reminding herself that it was her fault, she calmed down and decided to treat this incident as a mere bad episode of her life that should be forgotten.

" Whatever." Rebecca just shrugged her shoulders and looked for a dress to cover her nakedness.

She had no intention to have any relationship with Justin. Thus she said in an equally cold voice. " Let us keep this incident a secret. Nothing good will come out of it if anyone found out."

Justin crossed his arms over his chest, his dark face unreadable.

Rebecca then stood up to go to the bathroom to wash herself. Her eyes gazed at the many red blood spots on the bed. The bastard, Rebecca thought. He did not let her go easily. Justin also saw it. His teeth gritted. He thought that he was being trapped by her virginity.

Rebecca ran towards the shower and washed off all the dirt on her body.

There were bloody smudges on her thighs and she really felt painful in between her legs. Again , she thought she deserved it, to feel such pain because she had done something bad to Vivian.

Thinking of Vivian, Rebecca was worried. It was already 10:00 in the morning, perhaps the voice that she heard outside was Vivian calling her. Rebecca planned to go to the next room and check what happened to Vivian

After getting rid of the dirt on her body, Rebecca wrapped herself with a big towel covering herself from shoulder to her feet.

Avoiding looking at the man on the bed, Rebecca picked up a big clean t-shirt that was folded beside the table . She knew it belonged to Justin , but she had nothing to wear since Justin tore her entire dress and was now unusable .

" Can I borrow your shirt for a while? I will buy you a new one ." without waiting for his answer, Rebecca went back to the bathroom and wore his t-shirt. At least her bra and panties where still intact. There was no single sound from the man who was looking at her with cold eyes.

Back in their younger years , she was already used to staying in one room with Justin, Vivian, her brother Michael and Kenneth. They used to be good friends who trusted each other.

All of that would change today .
