Keira's Pov
I gulped in shame as horror filled my face, I froze at the spot staring at my husband whose eyes were confused, sick and tired, raking his eyes all over me And I quickly snapped Into reality when he ordered me up.
"Who are you?" He asked again, trying to sit up but hissed in pain and lay back.
"I'm your wife." I blurted out and he glared at me in disgust, as if I was the reason for his accident and his predicament but I shook those thoughts away and quickly wore my dress, going closer to button his shirt when he swatted my hands away.
"Don't f*****g touch me!" His voice was cold, laced with a strange kind of sudden hate. "I need my mother, the doctor or anyone but your slutty self in the room." Jasper ordered coldly and I bit my inner cheeks to dismiss his harsh words.
"I'll call them over, just relax a bit." I told him and he didn't spare me a glance. He acted as if he woke up from a trance of arrogance as his body Language was way too arrogant for someone that was in Coma.
He was handsome, I knew it the moment I saw him immobile but he just confirmed it the moment he stood up and gazed at her with those sapphire eyes.
The next few minutes, the doctor was hovering over him, testing his pulse heart rates and running a series of tests while I stood there aside watching them. The door to the wardrobe room barged open in force and Mrs Cara entered inside looking disheveled and surprised in shock.
"Oh dear, you're finally awake!" She cried and rushed to hug him tightly. " Tell me doctor, how is he doing? This is totally sudden and unexpected, you said that his coma might be almost impossible for him to wake up to."
"It's a Miracle, Mrs Carat. His breathing is stable and that's a surprise. if this could happen then anything else could happen. Congratulations, Mr Jasper." The man dressed in a white coat, said calmly and professionally.
"I can't f*****g feel my legs Doc, what the hell are you congratulating me for? For being crippled?" He snapped at the poor doctor who only smiled and paused his steps.
"Sorry about that but that's the side effect of your bedridden state for the last six months. It would take time to heal so you need to use the wheelchair for some time now." He told Jasper who expressed no emotions. It made me wonder if Jasper was truly sick in coma or probably pretending because how can a man be so aware of his surroundings and become so authoritative. The only evidence was his pale skin, dried parched lips and a little bit of weakness on his body.
The doctor excused himself and the room tension increased as he glanced at me again before turning to his mother.
"What's the meaning of that mum? Why is she here? " He didn't spare me a glance but I know he was referring to me.
"She's your wife Jasper, you don't have to worry about anything from now on as she would tend to your needs from now on, your legs, feeding, and whatever it is."
"I never asked you for a wife! I need a divorce immediately!" He ordered his mother and my heart thumped more heavily than before, making my stomach churn in pain. The thought of getting a divorce irked me to the core, not because I'm happy with the sham of a marriage but because I don't want to go back to my father's house to get ridiculed at how useless I was, reminding me that my biological mother was dead and most importantly my Grandfather's health would be at stake.
"That can't happen Jasper! She's your wife and it's not a choice. What do you think would have happened if you never woke up? I needed to secure your legacy and the damn company."
"Well that's over mum, I'm fine and alive. Where do you even get such a desperate woman from? I can't believe she would stoop so low to accept such an offer, to be tied to a Man in Coma all the years of her life! Is the money that good?" His words cut deep into me, I didn't want to cry or show him how weak I was no matter who the f**k he think he is so I hit back the lump that threatened to make me cry.
"That's not your business Jasper so shut up, She's Penelope's daughter and will do most of your activities. I'm not having this conversation with you until your wife gets pregnant. I'll leave you two to bond." She added the last word, picked up her bag and left the room.
The room was so silent and calm, I wanted to say something but I didn't know how to start until he picked up his phone from the drawer beside him and made a call.
"Yes Clinton, come over quickly. I need to get the hell out of this place immediately." He turned to look at me staring at my outfit in disgust and wrenched his nose while listening to the call.
"And come with a female wear too, a simple blue gown, a 36 D sized cup bra and...." He sized me up again and my cheeks hurt from the blush that crept its way. "...and moderate underwear for an average height lady. I don't know, they said she's my wife but she's wearing that to go back to her house." He added and I glared at him, walking closer to meet him.
"I'm not going anywhere Jasper, You're my only family and I have no where to go. We are bound together till death do us part so no matter how disgusting this may be to you, we are legally bound."
"Don't worry wifey, I'll triple the pay, I'm allergic to desperate people and a slut. Imagined I never woke up, you would have raped me in my state so you can make a name for yourself and stay in the Penelope family right?"
I shook my head in disbelief at his words, totally ashamed of my actions back then but he was totally misinterpreting it.
" You were so eager to f**k me just because of the money right? Save yourself the hassle and leave while I triple the pay." The tears that struggled to stay out, slid down hotly as my lips felt the anger of my teeth sinking down till I tasted blood.
"You're mine Jasper, crippled or not, and despite your disgusting attitude. I married you by choice and nothing will change that and for your information, I don't wear such a bra size since your arrogance has blinded you to have a perfect look at my t**s while you can. This would be the last day you will ever look at me or any part of my body! I'll be waiting outside for you" I fired back at him and walked out.
