Married To My Sister's Husband

Chapter 17

Livy

The flight here was rather too quiet. I mean, if he never wanted to come he shouldn't have brought it up in the first place. I'm quite certain I never gave him an impression that I wanted a honey moon experience.

And here I was thinking that just maybe he and I were slowly becoming friends, but since he returned from the office, he has been so much more withdrawn and unnecessarily occupied than usual.

Did I do something wrong again? If it continues like these, I don't think Heather's plans would work at all. I think i'd rather just stay clear than to get in his way and irritate him.

Heather and I had gone to get our hair done at this new place called 'Hair Culture', but they were having their Grand Opening party so they invited a fortune teller

Maybe, I was an easy target but her words keep ringing in my ear, now I can't think of anything else.

"You have a bright fortune, but for some reason there is this darkness surrounding you, trying to sap your happiness. It's everywhere and it would be your bane. I see 2 who desires you but their stubbornness could destroy you if you don't take a stand and hold the fort. Look! Right here! He is very head strong, but a strong woman can set him straight. Him, he picks on people's weaknesses and uses it against them, that's what will makes him great but it will also destroy him if left to his vices. Him! If you stay, will torture you daily because he sees another in your place and in his heart. But if you leave, you lose him forever, so either way you lose until you win, while he'll win until he loses. Such a fortune, though bright, but quite a handful. You have become the main project, the goal that destroys them and the glue that would bid them. It won't be easy for they will push you off the cliffs, but if you let courage rise in danger, you would gain peace. Are you in love?" she had asked suddenly, bringing me back to reality.

I nodded slowly, "then follow that love always, even if it rejects you don't run away, stay there and demand for you right. Your fortune is one of strive and struggle, so you need to build up your confidence and strength. of your love would be yours, you have to be strong".Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

I have to be strong, everyone keeps saying that.

But why should I be the strong one? I was once strong, brave and flew so high I felt no one could touch me.

Until, I fell and got hurt. It was much more than anything I have ever felt. I shattered into a million pieces, and that's how I knew just how fragile I really was

Why continue to pretend to be what I'm not? Why do I have to work so hard to get my husband's attention and love. Can't I just be loved without forcing anyone into it?

All my life, I've always felt like I had to work for everything, so just this once... this once I wished I don't have to work so hard to be loved. Is it even love if it's forced?

I looked through the window, it was dark outside so my reflection stared back. Unknowingly, I was crying with soft sobs as I looked by my side to see a comfortable sleeping Markian.

What more do I have to lose? Maybe... just maybe if I keep moving forward, slowly but surely I might get to where he is, even if I risk loosing myself along the way.

He became my world the moment I said 'I do', so I really can't go back, I have to keep going on.

I can't help but envying the dead right now, Sophy was in this position after all, so making a place for myself is sure to be challenging than I thought

But if I try to be strong once again, forgetting the pain of the past, maybe the future might be bright for me as the fortune teller said. Markian

I have been busy since we arrived at the hotel at 10:25pm.

I had already exhausted myself planning the move to the mansion Judy gifted her daughter, so I took some time on the flight to nap a bit. I'll be pretty busy for the next 2 weeks so I needed to start.

I had searched and pulled out old projects that were kicked under the curbs due to better deals coming up at that time. I packed them all up and came with it on our trip.

Other recent businesses that didn't involve personal meetings at the office for all of next month, I also pushed forward the date and came with all of them.

Keeping busy is my sole purpose on this trip, so whatever plans my wife and her mother has in store, I intend on making them fail so much so they understand who they are trying to mess with.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on novels.com, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter it's all free!

Honestly, the truth is that I'm not sure how long I'll last, but I plan to last longer than they intended. Staying away from Livy for the past few days have been a miracle, and I hope she haven't figured out the effect she has on me.

I would be a fool to lie to my self and say that ever since I married her I've not been doubting myself a lot.

The attraction I felt towards her now is even more intense than I did before, and if care isn't taken, I would really fall prey to their plans. Because currently, it's getting harder for me to look straight at her

She reminds me so much of Sophy and I can't bring myself sometimes to push her away.

Like last night, I could feel my heart beating so fast and sleep was far from my weak eyes, but I still couldn't push her away

I was wanting more of her doseness, like a drug I've missed for a while and recently just had a taste of and now I can't let go.

I must be missing Sophy so much I'm willing to replace her with her twin

I feel nauseous even thinking about it, but if it ends up that way then I really am a traitor and not just Livy.

2 weeks alone with this cunning woman would be the worst trial of my life, but I can't lose, I won't.

No matter how much she reminds me of my Sophy, I can't let myself get close to her.

"The Carribeans? To do what?" I asked in surprise at this sudden news. I didn't know Markian was planning to go on a trip or any trip on that matter with Livy, he didn't mention anything to me.

"For their honeymoon. Why? Do you want to join them? Tsk tsk... They are a married couple now so it's only natural for them, don't you think?"

Heather replied in a sarcastic tone making my blood boil even more and she knew it. She is trying to insinuate something and it made me clench fists so tight I might have bruised my palm.

"Why, why!... why would he take her on a honeymoon for a marriage he regards as a joke? And why on earth did you encourage her to go?" I snared angrily.

"Why did I? Because Livy wants to try and win her husband's love as his wife. She loves him you know, before they even got married, while he was still married to her twin sister. That is the kind of woman she is, she have been in love with him for a while now when she didn't even think she had a future with him. So, what do you think she would do now she has him? Not to mention, aren't you tired of having all the women you love fall for your cousin?" Heather questioned suspiciously inspecting her neatly polished nails.

What was she up to now? What does she want from telling me all these? It can't be true, could it? Is Livy in love with Markian?

As I mentally questioned myself, I recalled how distressed she looked when she begged me to let her go to the courthouse and get married to Markian

"Hmm... True, it really is tiresome loving women who end up loving Markian. I want it to stop" I said, as I saw a slow smile creep up her lips. "Which is why I'll make sure Livy is the last woman who does that to me, by making her mine." and just like the smile came it was swiped off her face by my confession.

"She is your cousin's wife, how do you want to make her yours?! Can't you find someone else, or have you gone mad?" she questioned looking puzzled.

"To you it's madness, but to me it's love. I'm really sick and tired of Markian getting everything I should have. So I've decided to fight back. and getting one thing out of it, and that is Livy. Up until now, I've been neglected and never being compared to Markian at all, maybe because I'm not seen as a worthy competitor. But not anymore, I'm getting everything I deserve back from him, and I'll become a worthy opponent to him" I spoke confidently and boldly.

"What do you mean, you'll get everything back from him?" Heather questioned strictly
