Just one night, just one time. * * * * * Elena I always believed Adrian was the one for me. Even when life kept us busy, we were happy. He showed his love in his own quiet ways, and I trusted that. I believed in us. Or maybe... I believed in the version of us I had built in my head. Until one night, a folder filled with secret messages shattered everything I once trusted. Adrian I thought I had everything. A woman I loved. A thriving career. A child we were about to welcome into the world. But one temptation from my past nearly destroyed everything I had built. Two years later, our marriage still stands. But forgiveness doesn't erase betrayal. And time doesn't always heal. Yet... could we ever truly come back?

"I just... I hope we can at least try to understand each other with time and make this marriage work" I said to him, I know he's still not asleep. Then I continued, "I don't know how to behave in this new home... so if I ever do something wrong just tell me okay?" Still no response. "I know this marriage wasn't much of your decision... but I'll still respect it. If there's anything you want me to change, just tell me- Before I can complete my sentence, he got up from his bed, turned the light from the lamp again and said to me while pointing his finger, "Let me make this one thing very clear. Don't keep any kind of expectations from me. There will be no love in this marriage. I married you only because my daughter needs a mother - nothing else" In his cold tone he continued, "Whatever you expect from a husband... I can't give you. Don't look for warmth where there isn't any. Don't misunderstand this arrangement as something emotional. I'm not here to build a relationship. You'll have love in this house, Noorain... but not in my heart. Don't make the mistake of waiting for it. Ayla is the only reason you are here. Don't attach anything else to this marriage", once he was done with whatever he said, he was breathless. Turning the light off again he turned his back to me and slept. ━⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅━ #1 women empowerment #9 wattpad story #116 wattpad

He only let go after he pulled me to the coffee table , in a kneeling position. "Now fucking sign it, don't let me completely lose my temper. Or I swear to God, you won't believe what's going to happen to you" My red hair fell loosely on my face, the pain from my scalp was evident to what Nate could do if I resisted. - Everybody seems to crave tales of unlikely love, like the rich boy and poor girl or the rich heir and humble maid.
