I don\u2019t know if Frances picked these, but they are all my style.<\/p>\n<p>From the moment I told him I wanted to marry him, only one hour has passed, he didn\u2019t have the time to prepare all this.<\/p>\n<p>Unless, he already knew that I am coming back. I suddenly understand what he means when he says, I am never going to get away from him.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know why Frances is doing all this, I don\u2019t understand what he is thinking, I have never been able to guess, and now I don\u2019t want to try anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I show him my simple appreciation, and say to him while looking at this room, \u201cBut you have stored everything in your own room, later I will have to move it all to my own, that\u2019s a lot of struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour room? We are married, why wouldn\u2019t we stay in the same room?\u201d Frances looks at me with raised brows. His lips are showing a slight smile.<\/p>\n<p>I suddenly feel anxious.<\/p>\n<p>And then I realize that the decision I made under impulse, is so absurd.<\/p>\n<p>It is too hard for me to sleep in the same bed with someone I hate. I am afraid I won\u2019t be able to control my feelings, my impulse to kill him.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8230; I am not ready yet. Can you give me some more time?\u201d I say this in a very light voice, with the sound of begging in it.<\/p>\n<p>Actually I know that Frances won\u2019t agree to my request. When I used to be his mistress, he has always only done what he liked, why will he listen to me now.<\/p>\n<p>Not to sleep with me after already being married, Frances wasn\u2019t such a gentleman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, I will ask someone to move your things to your own room.\u201d He says, and then he goes into the office room, and closes the door behind himself.<\/p>\n<p>I feel as if I am in a dream.<\/p>\n<p>He agrees?<\/p>\n<p>Lying on the bed I suddenly feel something poking me in my back.<\/p>\n<p>I roll over and move the blanket away, only to see a little button.<\/p>\n<p>The color seems to match Frances\u2019 suit.<\/p>\n<p>Has he been lying on this bed?<\/p>\n<p>This is not his room, why would he come to lie down on my bed?<\/p>\n<p>I pick up his button, confused, and put it on the night stand next to my bed, then I take a shower then I come back to my room.<\/p>\n<p>I am a little afraid Frances might come over to the bathroom, so I take a chair and put it in front of the door. If Frances comes in, I will hear him.<\/p>\n<p>I am back in this house to take my revenge, so it\u2019s for the better if nothing physical happens between me and him.<\/p>\n<p>The only problem is, I don\u2019t know how much longer I can drag it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-302","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
