Married To The Icy Billionaire

Chapter 6

KATHERINE:

I was in my room crying, as I couldn't believe the type of stupid marriage I had gotten into.

Ace and his entire family were cruel to me. I wanted to divorce him, and I knew that divorce wasn't an option. He wouldn't accept it, because it was against his grandfather's will and decision.

I had to live by that will. By that decision. My family was all taken care of. They moved away from poverty, but how about me? I was in pain, not marriage, and I was determined to leave Ace for good.

I was done enduring him, and if I did not make a move now, then I would continue to live the rest of my life in a loveless marriage.

I was hungry, yet, on the same night that was supposed to be our second wedding anniversary night, Ace brought his girlfriend home, and not just that, his mother and sister bullied me.

I wiped my teary face and stood up from the bed. My cheeks hurt, and I recalled what Ace's mother said. She said that I was thin before, and now, I was eating their money and I had added weight.

I looked at my appearance in the mirror.

Aside from my swollen face that was hurt from their relentless smacking, my cheeks were naturally chubby with cute dimples on both sides.

I was full-figured, not overweight. I had added flesh, and maybe because I didn't have any work. I thought about going to the gym to burn down calories. But would Ace allow me to leave his house? He feared that I would escape, so he didn't allow me to leave, and we had maids who went grocery shopping while I stayed home and joined them in cooking or walking around the house and assisting in home chores. But my husband didn't allow me to leave the premises.

I sighed, thinking of how I would even get to divorce him. I couldn't be imprisoned in this house. So there must be a way for me to escape and to leave Ace for good.

I couldn't continue to live with him and endure his family's brutality.

It was not like I had any children for him. So I had to go. And not continue enduring him.

I sighed and stripped off my nightdress to take a bath. However, as I stepped out of my nightdress, I did not remember locking the door as I always do. After Nicole had come into my room and almost forced himself on me, I always ensured to lock up my door.

As I stepped away from my dress that was on the floor and wanted to bend down and pick it up.

I heard the room door open, and my heart skipped multiple beats as Ace came into my room and saw me in my underwear.

Luckily I wasn't naked, and I was stunned as I was not expecting to see him.

"What do you want here? Didn't you know that you were supposed to knock before you entered my room?" I asked Ace coldly, my voice shaking, as I wasn't confident enough to send him away.

This was his house, but he hasn't for once acknowledged me as his wife. He still lived a bachelor lifestyle, and whenever he needed a woman to accompany him to any event, he took Naomi along with him, and I recalled the slap that she gave me.

Naomi was supposed to be a mistress, hidden in shame, but Ace paraded her about like she was his real wife, while I was the side chick, hidden in his house.

"I do not owe you any explanation before I can come into your room. You are my wife, and I can choose to enter your bedroom anytime that I like," Ace replied coldly, smirking as he drew nearer to meet me.

"No. You keep your distance away from me. You already told me that I am not your wife, and since your grandfather is no more, we can divorce now, and you can be with Naomi. While I move on with my life and choose to be with any man that I want," I tell him, and his gaze darkened as he heard me mention another man.

"Is that your target? To become a whòre even as you are married to me. You want to sleep with other men, right?" Ace asked me, angrily, as he swiftly marched up to meet me.

I used my nightgown that I had taken off to cover my chest as I wanted to take a bath. Since his sister had poured cold water on me, I was shivering due to the cold.

"Stay away from me!" I warned him, shivering from the cold, as I hadn't turned off my room fan.

"Or what? I guess that I have to teach you a lesson so that you don't think of sleeping with another man while married to me," Ace said, as he donned a white robe. He loosened his robe button and revealed his masculine chest to my view.

"What are you trying to do?" I asked him in a shaking voice as I became scared seeing him stripping off his white robe in my presence.

"Something that I am supposed to do since we got married," he replied, smirking, and I swallowed hard and looked at him in disbelief.
