Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

27 Ray’s frustration

“Yes, I have never shown her my body. She tends to be shy when she’s with me and I wanted to honor and respect her, so I made things easy for her by covering up any time she came around.”

“Then, what do you guys do when she comes around?”

“We either go out or watch some movies with popcorn while she sits in between my legs and I hug her in my arms. She likes that a lot…” his voice trailed off like he was reminiscing something.

Ray slowly bit his lower lip. He didn’t understand what funny things his heart was doing at the moment. It felt bitterness and anger, but for who?

“Ok, so, all in all, she has never seen you without clothes on. Your honor, please kindly note that down.” The lawyer said before he continued. “Mr. Ray, what if I say that the reason Miss Jeslyn abandoned you on the altar and married a stranger was that she found out you have been cheating on

her?”

The audience gasped and so were those watching from other places that knew the couple too well.

That allegation was too much for people to believe, so the majority of those that knew the couple denied the fact. They believed that the lawyer was only saying that to lead Ray to confusion.

“That’s not true! I have never cheated on Jeslyn for the four…five years we have been together. If she’s looking for something to defend herself for humiliating me on the altar and shattering my heart, then she should look for another lie to tell!”
