Chapter１３

I was already on the verge of losing out when I heard the front door opening. I didn't glance at it though since I already knew who it was! I was constantly staring at the phone, specifically at the text box that showed Vampire was offline.

I frowned at that, and I was just about to text him the second time when I heard a familiar voice.

"Hah, you look like you're on the verge of crying." Then that voice paused, followed by a hiccup, and said, "It's good that you cry. At least, that's the punishment you should face!"

Punishment? Crying?

My husband never talked so bluntly unless…

I suddenly looked up only to see Lewis' red eyes glaring at me coldly. His tie was loose, and his hair was also unkempt. It looked like he had drunk a lot of beer in the process.

My eyes widened as I continued to stare at this guy blankly. "Lewis…what happened to you?"

He was clearly drunk, but what I wanted to know was why did he drink so much? At home, he would naturally ignore me as always, and live his life as usual. But today, he looked like he was so depressed that even a bottle of beer couldn't reduce his pain.

I furrowed my brows and swiftly got up from my seat, watching him verily.

Lewis approached me and grabbed my wrist, glaring at me hatefully. "You know what you did? You ruined me!"

"W-What are you saying?" I ruined him? How and when did I do that? I was very confused, but the current actions of my husband only made me feel a trace of fear in my heart. My lower lips quivered as I stared at his drunken face.

On one hand, I was worried about why Vampire hadn't replied, and now, I was also forced to worry about my husband, who had drunk so much beer that he couldn't recognize himself.

"You bitch!" He spat on my face. "Have you ever thought about me?! Huh? You clearly look like you've forgotten about me completely."

At his words, anger rose in my heart. Forgot about him? Wasn't this clearly his fault? Who was the one who had refused to touch me first?!

"Weren't you the one who wanted to get rid of me?! I even begged you many times a year ago! Did you forget how you humiliated me?!"

Even if he didn't, I clearly remembered how Lewis had rejected my advances, making me feel cold in my heart.

That day, I had just started writing my novel when my husband came back home. Back then, I was still infatuated with him, looking up to him for everything. Our relationship hadn't deteriorated so much.

So when he came back after getting wet in the heavy rain, I was instantly hooked by seeing his wet shirt, and the view I was seeing under his clothes. I just wanted to rip it off and jump on him!

Even though I knew he had been angry at me for not finding another job, I thought he wouldn't reject my advances. And I even imagined him forgiving me after one round of sex.

So I hurried over to him, pushing him against the wall and smiling seductively. But just as I was about to open my mouth, Lewis pushed me back so harshly that I fell on the ground.

I could only stare at my husband in disbelief.

And at that time, all he had said was, "Get out of my eyes!"

And I had watched my husband angrily stomping off, heading toward the bathroom. Back then, I had cried my eyes out in the living room, and refused to show him my face. I just ran off and stayed at the hotel until my saves expired, and came back with a cold heart.

After that day, I had stopped feeling anything for my husband.

But now, when I look at my husband's drunk face, I couldn't help but feel a little scared. What had I done to deserve such a partner?

My eyes turned red when I thought of this.

Why couldn't Vampire be my husband? He was so gentle, and even coaxed me when I got mad at him that day. Why couldn't he be my husband?

A tear suddenly dropped from my eyes, but I didn't even lift my hand to wipe them.

On the other side, my husband seemed to be stunned by hearing the question, and then suddenly his expression changed and he glared at me.

"It was me?!" He laughed maniacally. "Great, now her majesty said that I was the one who had done everything to her. Next what? Would she blame me for her period pains too?!" He paused and added. "It was clearly you who rejected me first! And after that, I was too embarrassed to talk to you!"

I tilted my head in confusion when I remembered this really did happen. My husband seemed to have been angry at me when I had told him about my decision to follow my dream. And we had argued, and I had bluntly said that I wouldn't let him touch me. And perhaps my husband took that statement way too seriously.

I lowered my head, feeling immense guilt and regret. But just as I was thinking, he tightened his grip on my wrist.

"Leave my hand! You're hurting me!"

"And what about my heart?! Didn't you hurt me as well? Huh?" His face came closer and closer until I felt his breath on my face. "You've changed. Your heart has changed, and I can see it clearly. Elise, you don't love me anymore." He paused and grinned like a mad person. "But I'll have you anyway! You're my wife, after all!"

And before I could say a word, he kissed me. I was too shocked to do anything. And this kiss wasn't anywhere sweet or soft. But it was rather harsh. I could even feel the taste of blood on my tongue.

He forcefully sucked and bit my bottom lips until they were swollen. Meanwhile, one of his hands grabbed my wrists to stop me from struggling and another hand tore open my top, grabbing my breast forcefully.

"MnmmmMMn…." Muffled voice came out of my throat as I tried to resist with all my heart, but I couldn't. I was just a girl who was being tortured by her husband.

Lewis pushed me on the sofa as he tore my bra too, pinching my nipples so forcefully that tears appeared in my eyes. I gasped. "D-Don't…"

At this time, I suddenly wished how good it would be if Vampire was here. How good it would be if he was my husband instead of this devil of a person.

Lewis finally let go of my lips and moved down, biting my nipples before sucking them wildly.

My hands were still tightly held behind my back. So I couldn't do anything to him at all!

"D-Don't…Why are you doing this?"

"Don't you see?" He mumbled against my nipples before licking them. Then he flashed me a grin. "You belong to me."

I felt a chill down my spine at that. No, I didn't belong to him anymore. I had someone who could make my heart race; who could make butterflies flutter in my stomach; who could show me heaven just by kissing.

My husband used to be that person, but not anymore. And somehow, when I remembered Vampire, I couldn't help but feel a flush of energy pouring in my body.

I glanced at my husband who was still busy sucking my nipples, and forcefully pulled up my legs, hitting his crotch.

Just as I made that attack, Lewis' eyes widened as he screamed in agony. He bent on his knees, still covering up his private part as he glared at me hatefully. "You…"
