My Possessive Husband (ManxMan)

Chapter 9

~Sorry for the wait, and thank you for your patience. I hope you enjoy this chapter. ~

~Renmen's POV~

My alarm went off, I reacted to it with a jerk of my aching body. I quickly deactivate it, since it was worsening my throbbing headache. I was alone on this massive bed, and memories of yesterday came flooding my mind.

"I'm quite disappointed that you are clueless about the reason why I'm angry. Well, that's fine, I don't mine elaborating it to you. But first, strip now Renmen."

"A-Are you out of your mind? I won't do that, oh please don't make me do that."

"Either you do it yourself, or I will and I don't have any problem doing so."

It made me unable to get up from the bed, the memories only made my heart heavy with dread and misery. Forcing with all my will to push back the sickening memories of yesterday. The memories filled with shame and humiliation.

Staying depressed like this won't do me any good. I sigh, knowing I eventually have to get up and go to work. Then I realize the monster isn't around my presence, at least I don't have to deal with him right now. I'll make it my mission to never talk to him again! Sure, I'll share this house with him, I'll even take on his name, but I will surely never acknowledge him. I can't forgive him for what he did to me. The first step I must take for my mission to be successful, is to not think about him.

I continue to brainstorm other ways to avoid Nicolas, while creating enough energy to get up from the bed. I ignore the irritating ache coming from my body, and glad that my headache has suddenly vanished. I walk towards the bathroom, ready to brush my teeth and do other hygienic duties.

When entering the bathroom, I also turn on the light. Turning towards the mirror, I immediately gasp when I see the obvious evidence of yesterday on my neck and collar bone. I can't help, but tremble in disgust. I raise a shaking hand towards a bite mark, and wince when I touched it. If this is what he wanted to accomplish yesterday, he succeeded, and it's making me never want to cross him again. I take my hand away, and calm my panicked breathing. It's alright, I won't make a big deal out of this. I'll just apply ointment to the marks and bruises, and then hide it with a scarf before I go to work.

After Briggs drops me off, I say my daily thank you and walk towards the entrance of the day care. I was surprised that Amy arrived before me, greeting her while I put on my apron and name tag. Like usual her greeting in return is a warm secure hug. I giggle slightly when she kisses both of my cheeks.

"Hey beautiful, how are you doing this fine afternoon?" she asks me with an overly cheery tone of voice. Her mood is quite suspicious, along with her bright facial expression. I can't help, but to cock an eyebrow and have a questioning look on my face.

"I'm doing pretty fine gorgeous, thanks for asking." I didn't put much on my response, since my attention was mainly focused on whatever Amy was hiding obviously behind her. My curiosity got the best of me so I quickly moved my head and tried my best to peek behind whatever she is hiding. Unfortunately, it didn't do me any good.

"Renmen, why do you have a scarf on? It's pretty warm in here. Why don't you take it off?" Amy tells me, and I quickly had to decline her suggestion.

"Um...I feel pretty cold, it's probably just me. I'm fine and comfortable Amy no need to worry" I respond, hoping she will understand and not pay any attention to the subject any longer. I know she wasn't buying it, Amy knows when I'm hiding something and surprisingly we are that close. I had to change the subject and my curiosity was at its peak. So I asked Amy what she was hiding behind her back.
