TRAPPED IN A DARK ROMANCE

Chapter 4: A Dangerous Assault

My life as a married woman was quite good, even if there were now also the hazards that go with it, especially the management of the in-laws, those can be so unbearable sometimes, but we had to deal with it.

When John and I were not yet officially married, none of them came to our house, but since we got married, it seemed to them that our house had become a stopover, or the village house, where everyone could come and go as they pleased.

All the newly married women will understand me, it is unbearable, because the first months of the marriage, one wants to live quiet with her beloved; you will understand therefore that with the in-laws who came unceasingly, for me it was rather disturbing.

Although I had managed to hide my discontent; because I did not want to put John in an embarrassing situation, where he would have to choose between me and his family.

Some days it was his mother who wanted to come and spend a week at home, other times it was his sisters who wanted to spend two weeks at home, and sometimes it was an uncle from the village who wanted to come because he had nowhere to stay.

But one day I broke down and told John that I couldn't stand it any longer that we were invaded all the time by his family, they hardly gave us any privacy.

He reassured me and told me that he was going to talk about it with them; as he himself had noticed that they came too much to the house, but since it was his family, he was already used to them, and it didn't bother him so much.

So I had to complain so that he would know that it bothered me. John was wonderful, he solved the problem, and the comings and goings of his family at our place had considerably decreased.

But the one who had gone to look for my number on social networks, yes Charles, my husband's little brother, he had really started to bother me and the worst thing was that I didn't know how to tell John.

Since he now had my phone number, it was all the time messages, "hello", "hi", "how are you", now I was sure, he really had intentions behind the head In my use of social networks, it is true that I often posted pictures, quite sexy yes, I am a woman after all, I liked to draw attention to myself.

These photos he would download into his phone, and start sending them to me with comments:

"wow, you look fantastic in this picture",

"you look very sexy in that dress, it gives you dark ideas",

"your backside is very well highlighted in this picture, I love it".

Are these really words that a brother-in-law should address to his sister-in-law? The wife of his older brother?

I often remained silent in front of his inappropriate comments, but since it is often said that "he who says nothing consents", I think that he must have misinterpreted my silences, thinking that he could continue with his misplaced comments.

So one day I decided to answer him so that he would stop it, he had just complimented me on my backside, so I told him

- You go on social networks to look at pictures of my backside? Do you think that's normal? I'm your brother's wife after all.

- That doesn't stop you from being a woman, and me a man, when I see something I appreciate it, it's my right.

- Stop looking at my photos, and above all don't write to me anymore! If you continue, I warn you, I'll talk to your brother, and we'll see what he thinks.

- It doesn't have to come to this, sister-in-law, calm down, my brother doesn't need to know about this. Have a nice day.

So in all of this he was even afraid that his brother would know, and he had stopped with his messages since that day, but he had not said his last word for all that.

How could I have imagined that it was my own brother-in-law who would become a problem for my marriage?

Because if until now I still had doubts about whether or not he had eyes for me, now there was no doubt in my mind. But how to present this to John?

I was just hoping that for fear that I would tell on him, Charles would stop his attempts for good; so that there would never be any problems because of it.

Because, you know, this kind of story, it's usually the woman who is guilty, they would say that I'm the one who broke up the relationship between two brothers, but I had nothing to do with it if Charles had decided to throw his lot in with me, I hadn't done anything to provoke him in anycase.

Another morning, my phone rings, and it's always him, you wonder why I even bothered to answer his calls; well it's just that every time I was curious to know what he was going to say, and at the same time hoping he would stop with his advances.

- Hello sexy sister-in-law, how are you?

- Charles, why don't you stop with your stories? I'm your brother's wife.

- What did I say wrong then? Did I say something wrong? Aren't you sexy?

- ...

- I wanted to come over there, is John there?

- Yes he is.

- Oh, that's okay, I'll come by some other day then

- Why can't you drop by as your brother is here?

- Oh no, I just remembered that I have something to do, have a nice day sister-in-law.

He was becoming more and more worried about me; another day, it was a holiday, he finally came home unexpectedly. I don't know if he had hoped to find me alone, but fortunately John was there.

- Charles! But you come and you don't tell me?

-Charles: Excuse me big brother, but I was in the area and I could not bring myself to pass

without coming to greet you.

-John: Well, since you are already here, make yourself comfortable.

-Charles: Thanks big brother.

-John: Honey!

- Yes...

-John: Please bring my brother a drink.

My stomach churned knowing he was in our house, I brought him a drink and you should have seen how he was discreetly devouring me with his eyes.

Suddenly, a few moments later, my husband was called at work for an emergency.

- Okay, I'll be right there. Uh, I have to go, I have an emergency at work. Charles, are you coming with me or are you staying a little longer?

- I'll stay a little longer.

- As you wish. Well, I'm going to take a bath.

I was not at all reassured that John would go out and leave me alone with his brother, I had

followed him into the room and even tried to dissuade him.

-ME: Honey, can't they do without you? We were supposed to spend the day together

-John: I know baby, but that's the way it is, sometimes there are emergencies and we need the important members.

- Um, okay. But make love to me before you go out

- Well what, would madam suspect me of going to meet another woman? ha haha

- I never know, and if you do, you won't be able to make love to her once you get there.

-John: ha haha, you are so funny when you are jealous, come here.

And before leaving he made love to me properly, then he left. Here I was, left alone with Charles, her little brother.

- You see, sometimes fate does things right, here we are alone, just you and me, in a house, who knows what could happen?

- Charles I swear that if you try anything, I'll tell your brother everything.

- Calm down a little sister-in-law, you are too defensive, relax a little, I wouldn't hurt you either. Get yourself together as soon as I finish watching this movie I'm leaving.

I went to the kitchen to get ready and left him in the living room watching his movie on TV. I didn't suspect anything, I hadn't even closed the kitchen door as a precaution.

As I was concentrating on my work at the sink, he came up behind me and pressed my bottom with his hands, he even dared to get hard in front of me. I turned around in surprise, and then I gave him a good slap.

- Don't ever do that again, I warn you!

- And if not? You'll tell my brother? You think he'll believe you first? I will deny everything.

He grabbed me with his manly strength, and had started kissing me by force, while running his hands all over the shapes of my body, if I had let myself, this guy would have made me his that day.

Fortunately in a last burst of courage, with my knee I hit him between the legs and he started to writhe in pain. I then took a knife and threatened him with it, ordering him to go away

- Get out of here! Get out of here! If you don't, I swear I'll cut you up!

- All right, all right, put the knife down, I'm leaving.

He came home with his tail between his legs that day, I couldn't believe it, I had just come this close to being r***d in my own home, and by my husband's little brother to boot! I didn't know where to turn, who to talk to.

I wanted to talk to my mother, but with her angry temperament, she would have exploded immediately and made the whole thing known.

All I wanted was a way to put an end to it without it getting out too much, and I sincerely hoped that Charles would have stopped there; and in fact he would have done it, but I had to give him the opportunity to continue by my actions.

Ah life and its backlash...

To be continued...
