A Loveless Marriage

Chapter 2

Magnus’s POV

Life was always beautiful with Sophia when she used to wake me up with my tea every day. When she used to throw tantrums at me but everything changed and I don’t even know will I ever be able to get over her. I don’t know what took over me that now I can’t bear any female around me except Xenia.

I think that‘s the reason for what I did this morning and I still regret that.

*****Flashback Starts******

Two soft arms were wrapped around my torso and I can feel the leg between my legs I was breathing heavily like someone was trying to stop me from taking a breath. I tried to move but I was unable to do that and lazily I opened my eyes to see my daughter Xenia lying on my chest and her face was on my face covering my mouth and nose. I smiled and touched her beautiful face.

She is exactly like her mother and I know she will be as beautiful as Sophia was. I wish she could be here to see our daughter growing and embarrassing every moment of her life.

Thinking about Sophia I closed my eyes and felt some movements on my body and realized something is on my lower body and as soon as I looked I found Natalia lying on the corner and she was on the corner and my leg was her only help preventing from falling and suddenly I felt her grabbing my thighs and moved without thinking with Xenia and she fell on the floor.

The very next moment I heard her screaming with pain, ‘aaahhh’ and her eyes were teary.

She looked on the bed and found me awake and she tried to sit but the pain was visible on her face.

It’s not like I won’t help her if she asks for help but she never asks and this is one of the things I want to break.

With a lot of struggle, she finally stood on her feet on her own and I asked her bitterly, “Didn’t I tell you to leave this room before I woke up?”

Her eyes were teary and she must be in pain but before I ask her about that she replied, “I am sorry.”

With that, she turned to leave and she was about to touch the doorknob because she was walking with great difficulty when I asked her, “Where are you going?”

She turned to look at the floor and was about to open her mouth when I interrupted her, “Don’t” and she trembled with my tone.

I like this effect on my own people when they fear me.

I stood and walked near to her, towering over her, and ordered her, “Take Xenia and make her ready. I am already late and if you are going to make breakfast with this condition I doubt I will get my breakfast anytime soon.”

She was about to cry and I know that because of the two months in which I trap her in my love I understood she is an emotional person but before I saw any tears I shouted, “Now, don’t show me that pathetic face of yours and go away.”

With that, she passed me and walked to bed for taking Xenia and I left that room.

After getting ready, I went to the dining area and I was thankful that Natalia was nowhere to be seen meant she is still with Xenia. So I did my breakfast in silence and left without any word. Once I was sitting in my car I heard my phone ringing and picked it up without seeing the caller's name and said, “Hello” and I heard Andrew from another end, “Magnus, I arranged a date for you.”

“There is no need for a date Andy. I don’t think it will help.”, I sighed and heard him yelling with shock, “Why not?”

There is only one person in my life who can challenge my decision and that is Andy that’s one of the reasons I don’t argue with him.

“At least you should try.”, he again tried to make me understand, “Please” and I finally said what he wanted to hear, “Okay, I will do it.”

“Great, I am sending you the address. She will meet you there.”, He said and I disconnected the call after saying, Bye.”

*****Flashback Ends*******

With that, I spent my entire day in my office thinking about my date. It has been months since Andrew is doing this. He tried multiple girls who could lure me but nothing worked. He is not wrong because he is just trying to help his friend who is suffering from the loss of his love, which led him to a disease erotophobia, which means I am afraid of getting intimate with anyone and I don’t think I will ever be able to be cured.
