ASTRID's POV

"Astrid, baby, your food is ready."

"Hey, Husband."

He grabbed my waist and we kissed passionately. 

"I need to eat, Ethan," I said in between kisses, but he pulled me back and placed me on the table.

"I need to eat you out first."

He stripped me naked and I opened my legs wide for him.

He placed his tongue on my clit, I moaned softly, then he placed his lips on mine and pushed two of his fingers inside my pussy and I screamed.

"Fuck me, Ethan. I want you baby."

I caressed his dick, but then he pushed my hands away.

"I think the kid is crying."

"What kid?"

"Astrid.. Astrid! Hey!!!"

He screamed in my ears and I woke up soaking wet. 

"Ethan.. What.. Wait, was that all a dream?"

He looked so confused, and he turned off the TV.

"Stop shaking and let me sleep, Astrid."

I moved closer and wrapped my hands around my husband's waist.

"Hey.. You wanna.."

"Astrid, Come on, it is our daughter's party tomorrow. I am stressed and need to get some sleep, please."

"Of course. Why didn't I think about that? So stupid of me."

He turned around, looked at me, and exhaled lazily.

"Astrid, I didn't mean it that way. I mean you hardly go to work, so you wouldn't understand how it feels.. Astrid, I didn't mean that.."

A tear rolled down my cheeks, but I quickly wiped it off and smiled lazily at him. 

"I know. You are tired and can't have sex, I totally understand it."

"Astrid, you are my wife, you should understand me. We have children now, and I am always working so hard.."

"Oh, and I don't work? You have been like this for 4 months! It is fine. Goodnight."

"Astrid.."

"Goodnight, Ethan."

"Do not turn your back on me, Astrid!!! I am your husband and head of this household!!!"

I looked back at him and I immediately narrowed my eyes. 

"You will understand everything soon, Astrid, but for now.."

"I just want to sleep, Ethan. Please, can I do that?"

He threw the bedsheet cover my face and stomped out of the room in a rage. 

I cried myself to sleep.

It was never like this when we first got married.

When I woke up in the morning, I stepped outside my room to my adopted daughter's room. She was turning 17 and was now a big girl.

I remembered when I and Ethan first adopted her, when she was only 7, and we had just gotten married. I had always talked about adopting a child when Ethan and I started planning our lives together. 

I jumped on her bed and screamed into her ears, "Wake up!!!"

She jumped up in shock and fell to the ground.

"Oh my God, Mum!"

"Happy birthday, Phoebe."

She hugged me tightly as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Why are you crying, love?"

"On this day 10 years ago, you and Dad walked up and took me out of the orphanage, even though I was the biggest in there."

We both chuckled loudly and hugged again.

"Well, I am glad we did... And didn't we promise never to talk about it again?"

She nodded and I wiped away her tears. 

Phoebe could easily pass off as my sister. I mean I was 30 and she was 17. Yes, I had gotten married when I was only 20 years old. That was how much I loved Ethan, but now, I didn't know what was happening. It felt like he was someone else.

I felt like he had someone else. 

"Now, lets go wake up your brother," I said to her and she happily jumped on her feet.

Before even we stepped out of the room, we saw him walking towards us.
