CHAPTER 4:A DREADFUL FEAR
702 Words
Laura was shocked after listening to what Edward had said; she was immobilized by fear and short of words.
Edward's eyes blazed with fury as he confronted his father. "How could you, Ryan? How could you make such a huge decision without my consent?" His father, Ryan, stood firm, his expression unyielding. "I did what was best for you, Edward.
You were lying in a coma, and I had to think about your future." "Best for me?" Edward's voice rose. "You arranged my marriage without asking me! And... what's worse, you used my semen to..." Ryan's face turned red, but he didn't back down.
"I used the resources available to me to secure your future. Your wife, Laura, is a great match for you."
Edward felt a wave of disgust wash over him. "You took my semen without my permission! That's... violation!"
Ryan's expression turned cold. "I'm your father, and I know what's best for you. Ryan was boiling with anger and erupted in fury.
What are you saying? She is your wife, and she might be carrying your child; this child is your bloodline.
Edward replied with calmness, The Harrison family has many bloodlines; this one can be abandoned. Why will you go ahead with the surgery without my consent? Should I also sue you for that? If you don't stop this stupid act, I will sue all of you involved in it.
Every word sent a piercing arrow to Laura's heartstrings, leaving her devastated and anxious.
Ryan was seething with uncontrollable anger. How can you do that, your father? You are just selfish. Do you even consider us to be your family?.
Edward let out an icy scorn, family? None of you are worthy of being called that, Ryan. Tension hung heavy in the air as Ryan boiled with rage.
Edward didn't even show concern or feel remorse; he picked up a magazine and was flipping through the pages, bothered by his father's rage.
Ryan exhaled deeply, his body emitting resentment, because he knew what Edward was capable of. Laura just did the in vitro fertilization surgery; we will have to wait for the result to come out to know if it's successful. Then you can go ahead with the divorce.
Edward curled his lips and remained mute. Even with his illness, his presence was accompanied by a sense of mastery and dominance.
Ryan's face twisted in anger, and he turned to leave. "Fine, be adamant. But know this: The marriage will proceed as planned till the result is out." Think about it; it is left for you to decide, he said before storming out.
Laura kept her stand, uncertain about the next thing to do; she didn't want to face Edward's wrath.
They are married now, and Laura might be carrying his child. But then she thought about how much he must be enduring his pain and his fiery personal life.
After deliberate thought, Laura decided to face any problem that came her way and show him care and affection to make sure her plan worked out. Laura moved closer to Edward, hesitating for a while and bracing herself up to start a conversation. His stare was frosty and chilly, but she had to try.
Mr Edward, My name is Laura, and I am your spouse. Her words dwindled to a whisper as his cold stare bore into her soul. She knew it would be hard for him to accept her.
Unexpectedly, Edward held her hand in a tight grip, and Laura shrieked. In amazement and staggered, falling beside him.
As she toiled to stand up, Edward pressed her against the bed. Fear surged inside her as Edward dragged her closer.
You are too weak and pathetic; you don't have what it takes to be my wife. Why are you so tense? He leaned closely and murmured harsh words, making her tremble in fear.
Laura couldn't say anything. Edward mocked, which was a fiendish delight, savoring the terror he had instilled.
Edward's voice was muted and threatening. You were not tensed up like this with Ethan ?. Are you scared of me?.
Fear set in as Laura realized that Edward was awake and knew about her and Ethan's plans.
