Marriage Bargain

I slowly opened my eyes,my gaze blurry from sleep. As I stretched my back ached, and a soft moan escaped my lips. My limbs feel heavy,my muscles protesting as I shift. 


I reached out to Ronald's side of the bed, only to find it empty. He was always an early riser. 


I winced,my eyes closing briefly as I settled into a comfortable position. My chest rose and fell with slow,deep breath. A mixed feeling of disappointment and pleasure made my head throb as memories of the previous night flooded my mind. 


I tossed the duvet aside, revealing my naked body, and collapse back unto the bed, covering my face with my palms. “How do I face him? How could I let this happen?” I whispered to myself, shamefully. 


I attempted to stand up,but my legs faltered and I winced in pain. My hands held the table stand for support as I managed to walk to the bathroom.
