There were four women and three men. Jonah did not even bother introducing them to me. They must be his friends and girlfriend. I introduced myself and tried to be nice to them. Yet, I definitely was not welcomed amongst them. That Arnold guy was the only one pretending to be nice to me in this group of people.

"It is pleasure meeting you all. Excuse me now, I have a few things to do" I was heading up to my room when I felt footsteps following my every step. It creeped me to no end. Nevertheless, I Ignored it. I entered the room, opened my laptop, and started studying a pit to catch up on what I have missed. The lessons I have attended the day I passed out really need extra effort from me, as I was absentminded the entire day.

I felt a hand tap my shoulder and turned around terrified of the unexpected touch. It was Arnold with a goofy smile. "I have been knocking on the door with no answer from you" oh! I did not hear it. "It seems you really are busy. Can't you bring your laptop and do your work downstairs with us?" without even listening to my answer he snatched it and advanced towards the living room with me following behind.

It is so riotous down here. Alcohol smell is pursing my nostrils and my head is about to explode. I blocked the unpleasant surroundings and focused on what I should study what I have missed. If I don't I might just regret it tomorrow in the lesson. I am supper nerdy, that's what George called my efforts to keep up with the lessons. He made fun of me when he knew that every night I study whatever I have learnt during the day and do some reading for the next day.

Squeals and whistles distracted me. I looked up to see why and was met with the scene of two men swallowing each other's faces. Will, as I was told his name is, was in his boxers only with Ben's hand on his thigh teasing him for loader moans. Looking further I noticed that Will had both his hands on Ben's hand urging him for more, leading him to the inside of his boxers. It was shocking. I have never seen two people make out let alone two men.

I tried to ignore the sounds surrounding me and concentrate on my studies. But my mind was going back to what I just saw. Is it really ok to do this in front of others? What kind of people are Jonah's friends? What kind of a person is he?

"Pick a straw" the voice was coming from a cute looking girl. Her hair was as the waves of pure night. She had her hip jutted back and her hands reached out to me with a cup of straws. I unconsciously pulled one. The crowed hollered as the red end peaked of the cup.

"Kiss. Kiss. Kiss." They started shouting while Jonah had a poker face and a calm composure. Can I really kiss him?

A tall man shadowed me blocking Jonah from my view. I looked up and saw Arnold eyeing me with a raised brow. "What?" He smirked then bend down really close to my face. "You really were not paying attention to us." I did not need to answer. It is written all over my face.

He showed me a straw with a read end. Should this mean something? When his hot breath hit my face, I cringed unconsciously. He reeked of alcohol. He must be drunk. His face was getting closer with each moment. My breath hitched and I felt lost. What should I do? How should I react?

His lips brushed mine delicately, like a breeze of air. My heart started beating fast at his advance. I pushed him away, closed the laptop and moved towards my room with hurried steps. A hand pulled me back and his full lips mushed against mine as if starting a war against them. All my punches were pointless against his strong toned body. My pushes were like tickles that made him smile over my tightly shut lips.

His attempts to open my mouth. As well as my desperate tries to push him away were both useless. This felt very bad. I feel so humiliated by this group of people.

It breaks my heart to know that my husband is watching this with a calm expression. My heart throbbing in my chest, the pain was physical and not just emotional one. My eyes were swelling with tears and as the first ran down my face. The others followed uncontrollably until my breath hitched.

I felt him finally moving back. Shocked with my tears. I can tell that he sobered a bit. He had a weird glint in his eyes. A glint that I did not want to understand as I dashed towards my room like my life depend on it.

I am drowning in self-bitty. We have been married for only ten days and I have gone through such things already. I locked the door to make sure that no one will enter the room without my permission then headed to the bathroom for a long bath.

Looking at my swollen lips in the mirror brings all memories back to me. He did it. So did George. Does it have anything to do with my past? Was I okay with strangers kissing me? Is that why they are treating me like this?

Waking up is always very hard when I am sad. It is one hour past my normal waking up time. Yet, I am laying lazily in my bed with no intention of getting up. I still have to do so unfortunately. With that thought, I left the bed to live on this day as well.

I went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat. A few coughs distracted me and turned to the source of the sound to be faced with a very close Arnold. " What are you doing?" I asked trying to step back. However, my attempt failed as my back hit the counter. "What are you wearing?" I was in a Beige tie-front long sleeve crop top and a ruffled mini skirt of the same fabric. I don't normally do the shopping. I just wear what I find in the closet prepared by some stylist. "Does it look bad?" I normally wear these kind of cloths home. Yet, it is excessively warm this week. This outfit seems very good for such weather.

I felt his hand touch what is exposed of my chest. Then it moved down to my belly. His other hand was on my thigh. Moving up from underneath the skirt. One push from me and he moved back. "Are you trying to seduce someone" he dares act angry in front of me? This is hideous! "A lady should not wear such things. CHANG" who does he think he is? I am not listening to him. Those girls from yesterday were wearing even more exposed cloths. One of them had a lace Bra on top of jeans shorts.

I turned around and went back to the meal I was preparing. "You should mind your own business." My voice had no hint of weakness. I will not give in to those men. Not in this life. A strong hand lifted me up and my feet were no longer touching the ground. Arnold carried me to my room then dropped me on my bed. Cradling me with his torso touching mine. "If you don't change now. I will change your cloths myself" he bit my earlop catalyzing hormones to run through my body with no control.

"What are you doing" this is Jonah. What is he doing here? "Getting your wife to dress properly" he took a few steps towards the door where Jonah was leaning with a lazy look on his face. They both walked away murmuring in hushed voice.

Arnold won this battel though. I had changed my cloths to a sundress before leaving to my classes. So much for being strong and not giving in.

"I heard that you have no progress with that man" It is mid-day, I am having a fancy lunch with my grandfather. What man you ask. Obviously the least interested man in me, Jonah. "You do know that you have a mission to fulfil" I totally lost my appetite. "He is not interested in me." I said calmly "well make him" I can see how angry grandfather is becoming. "I would but I have not seen him since we got married. How am I supposed to make him interested?" I was losing it as well. Grandfather is asking for the impossible. On top of that he is just tossing me aside for his business. As if I have no feelings what so ever. "President, I will teach her how to get his attention. Leave it to me please" No! The last thing I want is to be alone with George. I was about to protest but grandfather killed my argument before starting. He just walked away from me as if I am not sitting with him on the same table. George escorted him out leaving a deserted me. What was I expecting? People's backs are what I have been seeing since I walk up after the accident.
