Forced Marriage

Liza Pov

It’s been days I just lay in bed while watching some popular Korean dramas, to be honest I feel very lonely because Joan is not at home, every day I miss her, lately my morning sickness is getting worse, every time I spit out my stomach contents especially in the morning , the images of her came back to haunt my mind . I really miss the moment when Joan bromassaged my nape and made me feel a little relieved .

Fortunately, there are several household members in this house that I can chat with and joke with, even I always join them when they play chess in their spare time.

I got up from my lying position, occasionally I looked at the frame containing my wedding photo with Kak Joan.

” Very handsome ” I mumbled as I carefully examined my husband ‘s sculptured face .

I didn’t realize a smile curved the corners of my lips, this time I turned to stroking my stomach which was still flat.

“Mommy misses your papa so much dear” I said with great affection.

Knock…. Knock… Knock…

I was annoyed when I heard a loud knock on my door from outside , I thought it was Ella or Tia , because they kept asking me to eat something .

I stepped my foot open the door with a cold face, my eyes widened when I saw the figure who had just knocked on my door.

“Uncle Daphne”

The man smiled sweetly but for a moment he changed his expression like someone who was confused .

” What ‘s wrong bro? ” I asked when I saw that Dafa browas silent .

“Can we talk Li?”

I shook my head full “Yes, bro, we can talk in the living room, it’s not good to talk here”

” Okay ”

The two of us walked hand in hand to the living room , Kak Dafa started to sit down on one of the sofas opposite my current sitting position .

“broDafa what do you want to drink?” I offered before walking to the pantry.

The man shook his head slowly , indicating a refusal ” No need Li , I ‘m not thirsty ” He declined gently .

I sat back down in my previous position.

” It ‘s about Joan Li ” he said quietly .

” What ‘s the matter with him bro, is he causing trouble again ? ” I asked curiously .

” Yes Li ” said Kak Dafa which immediately made me roll my eyes lazily .

” What else is he doing this time ? ” I raised my voice , knowing that since I was pregnant I became easily sensitive to the slightest thing .

” Joan slapped her employee , have you never seen the news about her ? ” It was clear that Dafa bromade me widen in disbelief .

I covered my mouth with my palms, I didn’t expect the man who was my husband to be very good at finding trouble with everyone around him.

“What is it this time, bro, why can Joan be so rude?”

broDafa massaged his forehead , the man looked very frustrated .

” He slapped a female employee Li ” broDafa explained that made me get up from my sitting position .

Emotions in my body are revolving again , I can confirm that my face is red by now , I try my best not to take my anger out on broDafa .

I sat back down after feeling a little calm “What’s the reason bro, why did he slap a girl?”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

broDafa smiled with a smirk “Joan was very upset because the female employee said he was a jerk who impregnated other people’s children out of wedlock, even the employee named Anindya also said that you have never loved Joan at all” broDafa started to unbutton one button on her shirt because I feel hot.

“Then what news are you talking about, Dafa?”

“The news about lo Li’s husband, Joan has been branded as a rude man in various media, Li’s good name is on the verge of destruction, even his position as CEO is also in danger of being taken, because tomorrow morning there will be a meeting of directors and shareholders to overthrow Joan’s position ”

“Whattt?” I can only express surprise, these few days I rarely use social media, let alone watch national news, it’s only right that I miss the news about my own husband.

“Then where is broJoan now, bro?”

“Joan is at the penthouse, she is getting treatment there because she doesn’t want to be taken to the hospital”

” broJoan is sick bro? ” I asked full of fear , I did not think that my husband was sick now .

” He was battered by Li because he was beaten so badly by uncle Ansel ” said broDafa quietly .

I rolled my eyes, I couldn’t believe what Ms. Dafa said “Dad, it’s impossible to do that, right broDaf, as far as I know, Papa is a very gentle person and from my eyes I can see that Papa really loves broJoan, it’s impossible for Papa to do such a cruel thing” My words refute the words of Kak Dafa.

broDafa smiled lopsidedly “Uncle Ansel is not as good as you can see, he is a temperamental person Li, don’t you know that Joan is often beaten by him, just look at your husband’s face, your husband’s face is never smooth without the slightest scar”

When I think about what broDafa said, it’s true what she said, I always see the wounds on Joan’s face, first when she was in the hospital and the second when she said that she had a fight with Dafa.

” bro, have you ever had a fight with Joan ‘s brother , until Joan ‘s forehead was injured ? ” I asked to confirm the truth of the events the other day .

“No, what’s crazy, how could I dare to hit Joan, I still like Li’s money, if I did that with Joan, it’s certain that she would fire me right then and there, hehehehe” Rejected Ms. Dafa with a small chuckle at the end of the sentence.

I nodded slightly, it turned out that Joan’s words at that time were a lie, my eyes filled with tears, I couldn’t accept it if Joan had been hiding her pain all this time.

broDafa reached out and rubbed the top of my head ” Li , Joan is in dire need of Lo ‘s hug right now , her condition is really down , her career is even on the verge of collapse now .

I didn’t budge, at this moment I felt very angry and disappointed with him, but on the other hand I couldn’t let him go through this difficult time alone, after all he is also the father of the fetus I’m carrying at this time, I can’t just abandon him.

” broDafa please take me to the penthouse now ! ” I asked broDafa , I stepped into the room to take the suitcase containing my clothes , before that I had prepared the clothes when I was going to leave this house .

Unlike broDafa , the man was already waiting for me in the parking lot , I immediately ran into the car that would be driven by broDafa .

During the trip there was not the slightest chat between us , my mind was busy thinking about my husband ‘s current condition . I’m really sorry for this, if only at that time I didn’t let him teach a lesson to the employees who called me that day, maybe now his condition is still fine.

“Forgive me Hubby” I said in my heart full of regret.
