Chapter 1 The Bride

Gabrielle Jones was in the bed, struggling to fall asleep. Her eyes were heavy but sleep escaped her grasp no matter how hard she tried. After hours, when she was just about to get lost in a dream world, she felt a cold and rough hand touching her face.

She tried to brush it away from her face, but to no effect. Shocked, she opened her eyes only to find herself gazing into another pair of cold, dark eyes.

Gabrielle’s heart started thumping. When she saw the man in front of her clearly, a chill ran through her spine.

“What are you doing here?” She clutched the quilt close to her chest, and moved to the farthest end of the bed in fear.

“Gabrielle… have you forgotten that this is our bedroom? Why can’t I be here?”

Westley Morris spoke with a smirk, perched on the opposite corner of the bed. He was still wearing the bridegroom’s clothes from the night before. His eyes looked cold and frightening.

Yes. Yesterday was Gabrielle’s wedding day, and the man in front of her was her husband, Westley. This was the first time she was laying an eye on him after the ceremony.

She had waited for him the whole night, and had at last decided to try sleeping.

The sun was already lighting up the horizon, bringing a solemn sadness over her.

Westley hadn’t returned to his bride on his wedding night.

“Yes, I know this is our bedroom. But do you know that? We got married last night and you didn’t come here at all. Where have you been?” Gabrielle asked, finally getting a hold of herself.

Westley snorted, like he was least bothered and saw no problem with his conduct. “You’re acting like a dissatisfied, neglected woman. Do you feel wronged because I didn’t touch you on the night of our wedding?”
