Surrogate Mother

"Someone who your husband loves is me," Patricia said with a wicked smile, looking so satisfied.

Audrey jerked awake, her breath catching with a racing heart. The words were so real to her ears.

She remembered how Patricia, her sister, had met her earlier in the day and said that. Audrey's chest felt tight hearing it. She refused to believe what Patricia said, even though Audrey could see how her husband had treated her.

It was so painful. Considering she had loved Daniel since childhood. Eleven years have passed and the feeling is still there for Daniel, but that man...

Audrey held back tears every time she remembered Daniel's treatment of her. Generally, married couples will love each other and share their attention, especially when they are newly married, but that is not the case in Daniel and Audrey's marriage.

It was as if she was a pest and Daniel was always trying to get away from her.

They were like water and oil that couldn't mix. Daniel was always cold and rude to Audrey. He did not hesitate to show his dislike for Audrey and it made Audrey's chest feel like it was being slashed.

Audrey turned her head as the door to her room opened from outside. Daniel had returned with reddened eyes. Walking in with an unbalanced body.

"Daniel, you…"

Seeing Audrey sitting on the bed in a seductive nightgown made Daniel's desire rise.

He finally pushed Audrey onto the bed so that Audrey's body was underneath him. Quickly, Daniel tried to tear Audrey's nightgown by force, making a loud ripping sound very loud. His eyes looked savage staring at Audrey's innocent body.

Audrey gasped and immediately struggled to resist. Her husband was drunk, as evidenced by the smell of liquor that pierced Audrey's nose.

"Daniel! Let me go!" Audrey struggled again, not wanting to be treated like a slut who was fucked only when the man was drunk.

Suddenly Daniel pressed a pillow against Audrey's face, covering her face, then explored all parts of Audrey's body.

With all her might, Audrey pushed Daniel's body hard until the man moved away from on top of her. Audrey quickly got up and backed away.

Audrey's breath caught in her throat as she looked at Daniel with pain.

In that terrible state, she remembered Patricia's words that Daniel liked Patricia. Audrey was jolted by reality, looked at the pillow Daniel had used to press her face, and finally concluded something.

"You purposely covered my face so you could imagine making love to Patricia?" Audrey's voice trembled as she asked. Don't ask her heart which was already shapeless at the moment. Enduring the pain of her fallen pride.

Daniel was silent. Instead of answering Audrey's question, Daniel just waltzed away from there. Ignoring the woman who had been holding back the tears from behind her corneas.

Not accepting Daniel just leaving, Audrey quickly caught up and pulled Daniel's hand back until the man turned to her.

"Your legal wife is me! Only me, Audrey Larson! Not Patricia!" Audrey screamed with emotion mixed with frustration. She had loved Daniel all this time, but Daniel had never considered her love at all.

His eyes were only filled with hatred. Staring at Audrey with a look of disgust.

Hearing that, Daniel laughed coldly. "Legitimate wife you say?"
