"Did you think healing me would make me love you more?" He scoffed grabbing my hair as he pulled me towards the door.

I left, determined to stay hidden from him forever... but I found out I was pregnant few weeks later.

I paused the movement on the brush that was brushing my hair as I stared at him through the mirror on the vanity table taking in his earnest expression. The thing I am avoiding would happen one day eventually and if I kept denying him what he truly wants… I am not sure how long he would hold on without running out of patience.

When he was done, I stood in my birth suit before watching as his eyes roamed around my body with desire.

"I prepared a bath for us, we better go before it gets too cold,".

"Okay dear," I smiled at him as he reached for my hand and both of us walked towards the bathroom.

It still feels like a dream that you’re my wife.
