My Secret Husband

I was half awake when I felt a stomachache. I could feel the pain and the urge to vomit, so I quickly got up. But that sensation vanished immediately and was replaced by nervousness when I realized where I was.This isn't my room! Where am I?!"Damn!" I whispered to myself.When I looked down at myself, I nearly went into a trance when I realized I wasn't wearing anything, just a blanket wrapped around me."Ugh..."My whole world seemed to pause when I heard that faint growl. I had no idea what I'd do next. My entire body started to tremble with fear and anxiety. I prayed that my assumption was wrong. I hoped it was Ares.But I was completely mistaken when I saw the man beside me from behind. He had a large dragon tattoo on his back and a full-sleeve tattoo as well. He was broad and muscular, clearly the result of hitting the gym - definitely not Ares' back.What have you done, Ana? Who is this man?I was about to stand up when I felt something in my hand, on my finger. I examined it

I had been restless in the car since earlier, while Elena seemed unfazed. I wanted to ask her what was truly going on because I felt like she was just playing a prank on me. As we traveled to the hospital where she said Ares was, she didn't talk to me, and I sensed no concern from her."Are we still far away, Elena? Is there no one we should contact at the hospital? Should I call his dad or his mom?" I bombarded her with questions, periodically checking my cell phone."Don't call anyone, Ana. We're almost there, don't worry," she replied, her tone was serious. I looked at her in surprise."What do you mean—""Just relax, Ana," she interrupted me and accelerated the car.Confused, I waited for us to reach our destination. A few more minutes passed until we stopped in front of an upscale restaurant. I turned to Elena, ready to question her. But before I could speak, she swiftly got out of the car and opened the passenger seat door. I was met with her apologetic face."What's going on? W

"Are you sure you don't want me to take you there?" Ares asked again as we reached the front gate of our house.I turned to him and took my bag. When I looked at him again, I noticed he was yawning and struggling to keep his eyes open."Just rest. I'm sure Elena will pick me up," I reassured him. He took my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze."I wish I could rest with you in my room," he confessed, looking visibly exhausted. His eyes were soft, and he seemed like he could fall asleep right there.I gave him an apologetic smile. I didn't know how to respond because even though we'd been in a relationship for two years, we had never shared a bed or even been left alone in the same room. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't give in. It had never crossed my mind. Luckily, he understood my situation."I'm sorry..." I whispered to him and hugged him. "We're getting married, so...""Hush, it's fine. I don't want you to think that I'm excited to marry you just for that. I understand," he said gentl

If only I could turn back time to that night and change what occurred, I would, a million times over. But it's too late now. Far too late.Waking up from a nightmare is bad enough, but waking up next to a stranger and discovering you're now married is far beyond what I imagined. Especially when you realize something happened between the two of you."How did this happen? I didn't... what... What did I do? Damn!" I kept whispering to myself.The frustration was overpowering because I had no memory of what happened. I glanced again at the man beside me, feeling a surge of panic. I closed my eyes tightly and hastily got dressed, gathering my belongings, though I still felt weak throughout.I rushed out of that hotel and hailed a taxi to take me home. I had no idea how to fee

I've committed numerous wrongdoings in my lifetime, and amidst all of that, I've been able to acknowledge them to myself and those I've wronged. It's given me a sense of peace and a stable conscience.However, I feel this sin, this secret, might now be my undoing. For reasons unknown, I sense that even though everything that happened that night was accidental, I am truly to blame. I should know what transpired on that fateful night.And now, I find myself trapped in his arms. It's just that simple, and I can't do anything about it.LoveDon't dress too formally. Casual attire will suffice. I smiled as I read that text from Ares once more. I couldn't help but smile whenever he texted. Aside from
