Chains of marriage

CHAINS OF MARRIAGE

CHAPTER ONE

"Ben....ben....ben!!!!" i kept calling repeatedly even though he was right in front me just staring at his phone screen....today is our supposed anniversary but its already 10pm and he hasn't said a word i wish i could read through his mind and know if he even thinks of me as a woman...

i collect his phone and walked away as i could hear him hiss and i could feel him slowly following me ...pulling me to himself

"stop this childish play of yours,i dont want to hurt you",what!!...hurt me when did we get to this extent

"why are you torturing me Ben,tell me what did i do wrong i keep leaving like a prisoner for three years now..why cant you touch me once for a change"

"i dont want to...let just ignore each other like we always did just to avoid quarrels,please maya " i stood there looking at him totally confused i dont even know what to do anymore i cant even tell anyone....the maids are too old to understand me some are even too rude and my mom wont even look at me twice i have no siblings or relatives to reach out to

"fine,take back your phone" i said handing his phone over to him and walking away

"i'm sorry ,maya" he whispered i didn't even say a word but just walked away

After few hours i hear a soft knock on my door

"come in jason"

"wow..you always know its me" jason said as i tap the space beside me for him to sit

"why do you look all grumpy .....he didn't remember your anniversary right?"

"yes jason he just threatened to hurt me"

"don't take it to heart that how he behaves" he budges me a little and i smile to assure him i'm fine

"you look exhausted,how was work today"i tried to change the topic he noticed where i was heading and just smiled

"work was stressful who knew Benjamin work could be this hard,i would go to the battle field a thousand times than to sit in that office" i laughed to my heart content not cause he was hilarious but because he is bad at making jokes

"have you eaten anything yet,i made brown soup should i serve you some"

"ohh,maya dont worry much i ate before coming home that's mainly why i'm late today"

i could feels his eyes on me as i slowly look him in the eyes.....why do i feel drawn to jason so much,he looks like the younger version of Benjamin but different eyes...very tempting eyes,thats when it dawn to me that we were both too close

"i think you should go freshen up....its late we would continue this conversation tomorrow"he nods and stand up to leave.

"Goodnight Maya"he tells me as i smiled

-JASON POV-

I need to stop doing this Maya is my brothers wife ......if i don't restrain myself this wont end well

but benjamin doesn't love her he doesn't even care she looks so lonely

maybe if i talk to him he might consider....i knock quietly on his door,i hear his voice telling me to come in

" Ben can we talk"

"but it's late...what could be so important that you cant say tomorrow" he said harshly not even looking at me

"yes it is important...it's about Maya-"

"no no no....i dont want to discuss about it,"

"why did you even marry her if you cant treat her right for once...she needs you"

"she is just being childish she coped perfectly fine alone....i dont know why she is bringing you into this"Benjamin replied now facing me

"then divorce her"

"i can't" he said but the expression on his face clearly showed he didn't care

"i'm disappointed in you big time i don't know what made you be like this but i don't like it one bit....goodnight" i walked out without even caring to hear anything more from him

-MAYA POV-

it's been three days since i have seen Benjamin and Jason comes home late i'm waiting for benjamin tonight i need permission to go to the mall.

jason walks in a little tipsy and smells of alcohol

"jason why are you drunk...."i asked assisting him to the nearest coach as he chuckles

"why don't you divorce Ben,if you are scared you might get poor i am all opened to marry you" what does he mean marry me why is he talking about me in his drunk state

"Jason you are just drunk that's why you imagining me divorcing ben"

"yeah i'm drunk but i can really express myself more in this state"

"what do you need to express"

he chuckles again and taps the space beside him for me sit

"sit...M..aya"

" do you know what i love the most about you?" he asked ,how am i supposed to know that

"no i don't....just go straight to the point so you can go freshen up and rest "

"......I.......L..LOVE .."

"Is Jason fu**ing drunk"Ben shouting interrupting both of us

"get the fuck up jason i told you not to ever get drunk in my house"
