There was not much emotion on Jayden’s face, his eyes looking outside darkened.
The marriage between him and Jolene was arranged, they’ve treated each other with respect
throughout their one-year marriage, they had never even been intimate.
They even slept separately on their wedding night because she said she was scared.
Jayden knew she had someone else in her heart, and didn’t want to get intimate with him.
He didn’t love her but she was a good woman, gentle and kind. He liked her but he could only hide his
feeling.
Because he knew there was someone in her heart, she looked gentle but was stubborn, she was
keeping herself for her lover.
How amazing was this?
It was funny for him too as he had never once forced this woman.
A lot of people looked at them with admiration, they were like a match made in heaven in their eyes.
However, who knew that this was nothing but a fake image?
He knew his wife, though not deeply. It might not be her who was waiting in the room, she had never
made such an invitation…
But he went back and entered the room despite knowing that the woman in the room was not his wife.
Victoria hid herself back into the blanket hearing the door, her body was shaking.
Jayden looked at the trembling body covered in blanket on the bed from the entrance.
He didn’t know if he should be in joy or sorrow.
This is a monogamous community, women were sensitive and doubtful and could never accept any
third party.
But his wife was different, allowing him to sleep with another woman willingly.
He entered the room slowly and closed the door.
Victoria under the blanket trembled harder hearing the door closed.
She held tight on the blanket and was afraid that he might approach.
Jayden stood beside the bed and stared at the person under the blanket. Despite knowing she was not
Jolene, he called, “Jolene”.
Victoria’s tears gushed down and shouted inwardly, she was not Jolene, not his wife, she was Victoria
Forbis!
But she couldn’t, she promised Jolene. She regretted her impulsive decision to save her brother and
the family but destroyed herself.
Jayden noticed how frightened the woman under the blanket was, but he didn’t intend to leave. He
decided to sleep with this woman regardless if she was ugly or pretty, smart or stupid.
He began unbuttoned himself slowly and said, “Since you’ve promised, why feel humiliated?”
Victoria stunned, what did he mean?
Did he know that it was not his wife under the blanket?
“You made a deal with her so stop feeling mistreated, you did it willingly.” She felt she was mistreated,
how could she not felt that way?
Out of a sudden, Victoria lifted the blanket, “You…”
She was interrupted by a body thrown onto her, she fell back onto the soft bed and felt that her shirt
was torn open crudely.
Victoria struggled and shouted, “I’m not your wife, I’m not…”
The man ignored, pressed down her head and didn’t even look at her. He didn’t want to hear her voice
and covered her face with the blanket. “We both feel better this way.”
Tears had never stopped rolling down from Victoria’s cheeks the whole night.
She had never been this intimate with Nathan, Nathan did mention he wanted to but she had always
entertained with a kiss and claimed she wanted to wait until their wedding night.
But today, she gave herself to a man she had seen only once in a photo, she didn’t even know how he
looked like in real life.
It was dawn, the sun was rising. The man put on her clothes beside the bed with his back facing the
woman, “You’ve delivered your words and I’ve completed my task.”
Jolene did this out of guilt, she wanted to fulfil his desire.
While he didn’t mind doing it for her to feel good. He didn’t want her to feel guilty.
Victoria had gone insane in the blanket, she was soaked in tears and sweat, her face was covered with
hair. “Don’t you love your wife?”
“I like her,” Jayden replied liked. He liked Jolene, he felt that he liked her, whilst love… He thought there
was no difference between like and love.
“Why would you do… this then? You love your wife but sleep with another woman… Didn’t this hurt
her?”
Victoria felt that this couple was completely mental!
The husband claimed to love the wife but slept with another woman.
The wife on the other hand presented a woman to the husband.
Jayden mocked, “How did you know I wasn’t trying to make her happy?”
Victoria was astounded. What kind of wife would be happy knowing her husband slept with another
woman?
What sort of a couple were they?
“Change the bedsheet and clean the bed afterwards, she likes everything clean and tidy.” He said then
left.
Victoria was left sitting on the bed, she watched the tall figure disappeared at the door. She could hear
that he cared for his wife.
But why would he do that? She was in bewilderment.
Her body was tired but she stood up, replaced the used sheets with clean ones from the cupboard and
opened the window to let in some fresh air. It was morning when she was done cleaning.
The room was all bright and shone with the morning light, it was completely opposite to the dark and
depressing room from last night.
Downstairs, Jayden saw the woman sitting on the sofa and said coldly, “Satisfied?”
Jolene felt guilty, “I’m sorry.”
Jayden looked deeply at her and said casually, “I don’t need that.” And then he left.
Jolene stopped him at the door, “She was different from others, you will fall for her.”
Jayden let out a laugh, “I can fall in love with her right away as long as it pleases you.”
He turned and looked at the woman under the light, her guilty looked stunned him, he couldn’t utter out
mean words. “You presented her to me out of guilt, and now I’ve slept with her, does that makes you
feel better?”
Jolene looked at him and moved her body, “If you failed to fall in love, I won’t be with Stanley.”
That was a promise she made to him.
This was a family arranged marriage, she had someone else in her heart but couldn’t be together.
Searching for a better woman for him was the only thing she could do.
She had been searching for over a year and Victoria was the only one she thought matched him.
“If you met me before him, will you fall for me?” He had never acted so modest before.
This was his first time putting himself below others.
Jolene stared at him for a moment before answered, “Yes.”
Jayden turned to walk away but stopped after one step, “If there is a woman I fall for, I will set you free.”
