Forced To Marry My Sister's Fiance'

Chapter7

Robert's POV's

I've been staring at Jane's sleeping face for what feels like hours, a whirlwind of emotions swirling within me. I can't believe she's still a v****n. We were both naked that night, but nothing physical happened. Who orchestrated this elaborate charade? Why did we wake up next to each other, both undressed?

I haven't been home in a month, consumed by business obligations. I have just arrived back from a business tour in Europe, and I know Jane thinks I'm avoiding her. But the truth is, I'm consumed by guilt. I hate myself for what happened. I thought Alice and I had done something wrong, something irreversible. But tonight, I proved to myself that she was innocent. She was so innocent.

I gently caressed her cheek, marveling at her beauty. She didn't stir, her sleep deep and peaceful. Her face is so delicate, so gentle. I've seen her countless times when I visited Alice, but she always seemed withdrawn, never meeting my gaze. I noticed that she and Alice were never particularly close, and Alice often spoke about Jane in a dismissive tone. I never paid much attention back then, because Alice was all that mattered to me. I didn't care about the people around her.

I need to investigate what happened that night. I finally got out of bed, rubbing the comforter. It was cold, she was still uncovered. I wanted to dress her, but I was afraid of waking her. Her sleep was too deep.

I pulled on my own clothes and returned to bed, placing a light kiss on her forehead. I don't understand what I'm feeling right now. A part of my heart, a part I didn't know existed, feels strangely drawn to Jane.

If only I could stay here with her, sleep beside her. But that's impossible. I have a mountain of work to attend to, and I have a meeting early tomorrow morning. I don't want to disturb her sleep. I might not be able to control myself, and I might claim her again. I smile, remembering the events of the night before. I don't want to claim her again, not yet. She's very tired, and her body will ache tomorrow. It was only with her that I truly enjoyed s*x. It wasn't just a physical act, it was something more, something... real. I can't explain it, but I know my body will crave what we share. I wonder if I experienced the same satisfaction with Alice. Perhaps it was because Jane was still a v****n. I've been with countless women, but none of them felt like this.

I spent a long time with Alice, and she was always so soft, so good in bed. I'm not proud of it, but I know it's rare to find a v****n these days. I don't understand why Alice's family rushed Jane and me into marriage. They never demanded a quick wedding after all the times something happened between Alice and me. It made me suspicious.

Most women today don't place much value on themselves. That's why I was surprised last night when I discovered that Jane was still a v****n. She's a clean girl. I should make it up to her.

I finally left the room, heading back to my own. I grabbed my cell phone and immediately called Tristan, a friend who knew many investigators. Yes, I was going to investigate Jane's family. Alice had been my girlfriend for a long time, but I knew nothing about her family. My reasoning might be shallow, but I needed to know everything. What kind of family had raised Alice and Jane?

"Hello, Robert?" Tristan answered, his voice laced with a hint of annoyance. He was clearly disturbed by my late-night call.

"I have something to investigate," I said, my tone direct. "No more bathing. I know my friends are used to my behavior."

"Well, Bro, it's night. Can it just be tomorrow?" Tristan said, his voice tinged with exasperation.

"No, I don't want to waste time. It's important", I insisted.

"Hey, what is that? Who is that for you to investigate?" Tristan asked, his voice now laced with anger.

"The Davis Family," I replied quickly.

"Who??? Why??? I mean, is it the family of your ex-girlfriend, Alice? Why? I mean, do you really have to do this? Until now, you still can't accept that you can't— because his sister is already your wife," Tristan asked, confused.

"Nothing happened between Jane and me that night, and you know me, I don't want anyone to fool me," I answered.

"Whhhaaaaattttt?... I mean, how could you say no? Isn't that the reason you suddenly got married? You defiled Jane's femininity, so suddenly you married, Bro," Tristan said.

"That's what I thought too... Until—"

"Until what?" Tristan asked, his curiosity piqued.

"Something happened between Jane and me earlier," I said, keeping my tone brief.

"What's wrong with that?!!! That's normal for you because you're married. Don't tell me that you just had s*x after you got married," Tristan answered, his voice laced with amusement.

"That's right. I'm confused because she was still a v****n earlier, Bro. I mean, if something happened to us, she would no longer be..., right?" I said.

"Whoooohattttt? But wait, wow, Bro, it's really you. You are lucky!!! But wait... How did that happen? Didn't you say something happened to you that night?" Tristan asked, his voice filled with disbelief.

"That's why I want to investigate this. That's why Jane refused because nothing really happened to us. It's like we were both undressed and put aside to sleep," I explained.

"Poor Jane, if by chance, Bro. Imagine, you almost cursed her because she is also one of the victims here," Tristan said.

"That's why I want to know the truth. I want the investigation to have immediate results," I said.

"Does it still need to be investigated? I think it's faster to just ask Nathan. He certainly knows a lot about Jane's life and her family," Tristan suggested.

I frowned. Why was Nathan involved in this? I didn't understand.

"What do you mean? What does Nathan have to do with this?" I asked.

"Oh, my gosh. You really... don't you know that Jane and Nathan's younger sister, Stella, are close friends? Surely, many people know about what is going on in Jane's life. You can get the information for free, and within a day, you will know the truth immediately," Tristan explained.

"How did you know that?" I asked, confused. I had no idea about this connection.

"Of course, I always see Jane at Stella at Nathan's house when we hang out with David. I think they are close friends and attend the same school as you. We invited you to drink at Nathan's house several times, and you always refused, so you were left behind," Tristan explained.

I was speechless. I had been so focused on my business that I hadn't paid attention to those details.

"I'm pretty sure about Jane. That's just so aloof. Nathan's sister doesn't want to associate with us, and she is very cursed," Tristan laughed.

I sighed. I really didn't know any of this.

"Maybe I'll just call Nathan tomorrow morning. It's too late, and I know he's already asleep," I said.

I quickly said goodbye to Tristan, telling him to do what I asked. I felt a sense of urgency, a need to uncover the truth.

The next morning, I woke up early. I had a meeting at seven, and I was already running late. I hesitated, but I decided to pass by Jane's room. I wanted to see her before leaving the house. I don't know why, but I felt a strange pull towards her.

I slowly opened the door to her room. A smile spread across my face when I saw her still asleep. I didn't go in. I just closed the door again and left. I was afraid of waking her.

As I made my way down the stairs, I encountered nana. She greeted me with a polite "Good morning, Young Master. Your breakfast is ready in the dining room."

"I won't be able to eat, nana. I'm in a hurry," I replied, heading straight for the door. I got into my waiting car and drove off.

When I arrived at the office, my secretary, Theo, greeted me. I prefer male secretaries, as I've had enough of the flirtatious advances of female employees. I don't want to mix business with pleasure. Theo, the son of a former employee, was hardworking and trustworthy. He had a good record with the company.

I tried to focus on my work, but Jane was constantly on my mind. What happened between us couldn't escape my thoughts. I can't get rid of her beautiful face, her body, in my mind. I don't know what's happening to me. I've never felt this way before. I wonder if it's guilt, or something more.

I needed to hear her voice, but I didn't have her number. How was she doing? Had she eaten? Was she thinking about me too? My mind was racing.

I reached for my cell phone. I would call the mansion's landline. Someone would answer. The house staff was scattered throughout the mansion, cleaning.

The call connected after a few rings. "Hello, Jane?" I said, my voice laced with concern.

"Young Lady, Young Lady Jane has not left the room yet," the voice on the other end replied politely.

I frowned. It was ten in the morning. Was she still asleep? I had no idea what her usual wake-up time was. I had never paid much attention to her before, and I hadn't visited the mansion since our wedding, except for last night.

I have to admit, my intention had been to torture her. I wanted to make her my s*x slave. Everything changed when I discovered she was still a v****n. She was the only woman in my life who was still pure.

"What time does she usually wake up?" I asked.

"She always wakes up early, Young Master, but I don't know why she hasn't come downstairs yet," she answered.

"Can you tell nana Yara to check on Jane in the room?" I ordered. I was suddenly worried about her.

"Alright, Young Master, I'll tell her," she replied.

"Tell nana Yara to call me after she checks on Jane. Is that clear?" I said.

"Follow me, Young Master," she answered. I pressed the end button on my phone.

Less than thirty minutes later, my cell phone rang. It was the mansion's number. I answered immediately. Nana Yara's voice filled my ears. "I'm sorry, Young Master, I was just able to return the call. I was still attending to Young Lady because she had a high fever," she said. I was speechless. A wave of concern washed over me.

"But Young Master, we have already fed her, and she has also taken medicine. I just monitor, we'll see if the fever will go down soon," Nana Yara added.

"No, nana, I'll send Chloe there to check on Jane," I said. Chloe was my first cousin, a doctor, and she was just my age. I knew she would take good care of Jane. She was the daughter of Uncle Wilson, my father's brother.

"Go ahead, Young Master. It's better for the Doctor to take a look at Young Lady," nana Yara agreed.

"Alright, just wait there at home. And take care of Jane. I'm coming home," I said.

After hanging up with Nana Yara, I immediately called Chloe. Fortunately, she was free. She said she had just left her house and was on her way to the mansion.

I then called my secretary. "Cancel all appointments today, Mr. Mendis," I said.

I could see the surprise on his face. This was the first time I had ever canceled appointments and meetings. He knew I was strict when it came to work.

"But Sir... You have a lunch meeting with Mr. Larry. They have been lined up for a long time to get a slot for an appointment. His secretary also called me earlier to remind you of your meeting later," my secretary said.

I sighed and looked at Theo.

"Say that I have an emergency. It's just up to you to make an alibi," I said. I stood up and left the office, heading straight for the mansion.
