SUDDEN MARRIAGE

Eight

I threw on my pajamas after I finished taking a long shower. While I was doing my evening routine, which is actually new because I only started these when I got married to Mark, my mind wandered around the things that Mark and I fought about last night.

I know for myself that I am not capable of being a real husband. For pete's sake, I am still 22 years old. The only one whom I loved romantically is Mark but we parted ways for two long years.

After those years that we weren't together, I was forced to marry him. I don't know in his case, though, if he was also just forced to marry me too but as far as I can remember, he mentioned something last night about working so hard to have me. But, currently I am not aware of that.

I plopped into bed and place myself comfortably in this wide and empty space. It made me miss my old room and the thought of my old room made me remember about the things that I went through last night, again.

I decided not to harm my heart again and try to sleep it off.

The moment I woke up, I assumed it was already morning but the sky is still dark, so I think it's still dawn. I kicked my comforter off me and lift myself up.

I'm thirsty and so I decided to go downstairs and grab some cold water. I walk past the living room and tried not to peek at Mark who's probably sleeping by now.

I walked towards the dining area and flinch when I saw who were inside it. Fuck… I dropped on my knees and hid under the cabinet, for me not to get caught.

Mark lifted the alcohol and gave some to Karina.

"I know your struggles Mark. We both know what you went through just to marry Donghyuck."

I hide my gasp inside my palms.

"Right…" Mark scoffed. "I-I led the f-fucking company… I closed numerous amounts of fucking deals. Shit… I even— I even disobeyed my m-mom… Just so I c-can marry him."

I could hear his soft sobs and the way his voice dwindled. Mark is drunk but the pain in his voice was still obvious. I felt my heart break into tiny pieces.

I know how the amount of love he has for his mom. I know that Mark has unreachable respect for his mom. Which is why it hurts me to hear that he did that to marry me.

I don't know why it stings so much.

"I-I just don't want him… to marry someone else—"

"I know, sir…" Karina held his hands and I tried so hard not to gasp. I saw her eyes had glints of lust on it as she bites her lips and dropped her hands to Mark's abdomen. "You worked day and night… to make your company the richest… just so Donghyuck's mother would allow you to marry him."

Fuck…

Karina dropped into her knees and turned Mark around. Shit, shit, shit… I'm not supposed to see this.

"I know everything, Mark. I was there with you." Karina says while slowly unbuttoning Mark's blouse.

"W-What are you doing?" Mark huffs in a drunk voice and threw his head back.

Karina, this time, had her hands on top of Mark's crotch and massaged it as if she was a real masseuse. Fuck!

"To help you forget, Mark. You deserve to relax—"

"Fuck…" Mark hisses when Karina placed his lips on top of Mark's crotch, kissing it. "O-Oh god…"

I stifle my sobs in. I can't believe my own eyes. Mark is drunk and Karina is around to give him a real good sex which I can't give. My husband's secretary is about to give my husband a real satisfying sex and I can't do anything to stop because I myself am stuck in this cabinet.
