Marriage Of Convenience

Chapter 5: Emotions

McKenna's POV

I know this motherfucker didn't just lecture me about cheating when he's got his daughter and baby mama both staying up in this bitch with us. "Where in the hell do they do this shit at?" This is some kind of a movie type bullshit if I've ever seen one.

"What in the fuck have I gotten Raleigh and myself into?" I asked myself while staring at my asshole of the husband. Furthermore, how in the hell could Amy allow him to walk all over her like this and still be cordial to Raleigh and me was baffling to me.

"I wish a bitch would try to disrespect me like that I'll have his head on a damn platter. Hold the fuck up he just did, though," I thought bitterly to myself. "Well it's time for me to start whooping somebody ass around here," I say out loud while taking off my high heels stalking towards Jae.

I grabbed ahold of Jae's arm when he tries to walk right past me. "Where the hell do you think you're going without even trying to explain this fucked up shit to me Jae?" I asked infuriated.

"What is there to explain McKenna?" Jae answered snatching his arm out on my grips. "Furthermore I don't owe you any damn thing!" He adds walking into the house, leaving me standing by the door.

"Why the fuck should I care?" I ask myself as I watch my daughter talk and play with Hannah. We are only husband and wife in name only I reminded myself before walking back into the house, closing the door behind me gently.

Just as I was cooling down I see both Amy and Jae standing at the bottom of the staircase talking. I stood there with my hands on my hips ready to tear someone a whole new asshole. This motherfucker even had the audacity to look at me with a smile on his face before turning back to Amy.

A burst of hearty laughter erupted from Jae's mouth when Amy said something close to his ear. Without hesitation, I stormed towards them and pried myself in between the two lovebirds. "You will not disrespect me like this Jay! I don't know what kind of chicken head hoes you been dealing with before but I'm nothing like them!" I say looking at him while clutching his face firmly in between my hands.

Jay pulled his face from my clutches and walks back towards the kitchen without saying a word to me. "Did this bastard just ignore me?"

As I turned to look at Amy she was still standing there in the same spot with a puzzled look on her face. I wanted to be angry with her but couldn't because this chaotic situation was caused by my husband.

"Mrs. Yung..." Amy began.

"Stop," I say holding up my right hand in front of her and rubbing my temple with my left. Even though I wasn't mad at her, I still didn't want her to talk or explain shit to me that was Jae's job. Walking away from her I walked into the kitchen on a mission. My footsteps halted when I see Jae standing at the island holding Raleigh and talking to his daughter while at the same time eating a few cookies with them.

No matter how upset I was with him I knew that he cared about Raleigh. He has never miss treated her and that was the only reason that I agreed to this loveless marriage. I knew that he would be a good father even if he was the absolute worst husband material. My anger seems to slowly dissipate as I watch the three interact with each other.

Turning I walked back up the stairs to my bedroom. I closed the door behind me and slid towards the floor with my head in the palm of my hands. I nearly lost it this morning after reading the note that I snatched out of Jae's hand. Luckily my common-sense took over before I fell apart in front of him. I didn't want to give him any more ammunition to hate me more than he already does.

The only person that knew what hey happened to me two years ago was Reagan and Caleb. My own parents didn't even have a clue that their daughter had been brutally assaulted years ago. My father would be devastated if he ever found out that his daughter was raped while at college. My poor mother will blame herself because I chose to follow in her footsteps going to her alumni. Their peace of mind was the only reason that I refused to go to the hospital after the incident.

Flashback started

Faintly in the background, I can hear someone walking into my room as I drifted in and out of consciousness. I knew it was Caleb because he would always show up at my house to check up on me whenever I would miss days from classes. He was like the big brother that I never had. "McKenna" I hear him yell out in a frightened voice before swooping me up off the floor into his arms.

Tears flooded my eyes as the doctor's words echo in my ears over and over again that I was one month pregnant. Even after hearing that Caleb didn't say a word he just sat there holding me as I cried my eyes out.

Walking out of the hospital with Caleb arms around my waist I see Jae standing beside Caleb's car. I was a little taken aback by seeing him but chose not to question why he was here. I've seen Jae a couple of times around campus; he was always cordial towards me. Sometimes he would even crack a few jokes with me. Today his stance and demeanor around me were cold and heartless, and I had no clue as to why. The look in his eyes was something I wasn't used to associating with him before. He didn't even bother to speak to me just turned on his heel and walked off from both Caleb and me.

"Do you know my brother?" Caleb asked me.

"Jae is your brother?" I asked him a question on my own.

"My younger brother," Caleb says helping me into the front passenger seat of his black and gold Range Rover. "Is there anything that's going on between the two of you that I should know about?" He then asks me while fastening my seatbelt looking into my eyes.

"No, I just saw him a couple of times around campus!" I answered Caleb feeling very tired all of a sudden.

I'll check on you tomorrow McKenna, Caleb says as he looks locks the front door before walking out. Walking up the stairs I slipped under the car was lying on my back and looking up at the ceiling. I felt completely drained and I'll let sleep consume me. The next day at school I tried to walk to talk to Jay but he just told me out and walk past me as though I was invisible.

Flashback ended.

I was still sitting on the floor crying when I hear Jay on the other side of the door. I knew it was him because he was the only one that would pace back and forth in front of my door whenever he had something to say or ask. Then just like that he calls out to me "McKenna please open the door," he demands more than asking me.

"Go away Jae," I yell wiping my tears.

"McKenna, please!" He begs this time. "We can't continue on like this it's unhealthy for Raleigh to be in a volatile atmosphere like this." He adds.

"Can we talk later Jae?" I asked calming down after hearing him thinking about my daughter's well-being.

"Yeah sure but it will happen today!" Jae says with finality in his voice before shuffling off back down the hallway.

I was relieved and confused that Jae had conceded to my plea. That was definitely a first in the last two years since the incident at the hospital that he had been this nice to me. I walked over to the crumpled piece of paper on the floor and folded it and placing it in the back pocket of my jeans. Today I would bare my soul to my husband and enemy in the hope of creating a stable and safe environment for my daughter. I sat down on the bed deep in thought trying to prepare myself for Jae's reaction towards me after he hears my confession.

How do you guys feel about McKenna? Do you think that she should be more submissive or stay the way she is?

What do you think happened to Caleb?
