Mrs Smith And The Stranger
Los Angeles, California
April 12, 2019
"Ugh, dizzy-"
Her mouth felt very dry, when she tried to open hier eyes, the world seemed to spin. She was holding back nausea because she drank too much alcohol last night. She hated all of this, especially her life.
"Are you awake?"
The man's voice made her feel like she wanted to vomit even more. She was disgusted and hated every time she remembered that this man was her husband.
She turned towards the place where the man had just finished showering and was wearing a very neat shirt. He acts like a charismatic man who is full of authority from morning to afternoon, then his attitude will change 180 degrees when night falls.
He will become a crazy sex maniac who feels aroused when he sees his wife making love with another man. He would watch the scene until he was at the peak of his desire.
Her tears had dried, she knew that she couldn't just end this marriage before she was really dumped. But it had been six months since they got married, it seemed that the man still wasn't bored of her.
"I will auction you off at tomorrow's party, so today you have to go to the salon and beautify yourself!" He said in a cold and indifferent tone.
She lifted her head from the pillow, she couldn't believe what she had just heard. For her, a husband asking his friends to make love to his wife was something crazy. How could a husband auction off his wife like an antique?
"Are you crazy? You want to auction off your own wife? Jonny, I am your wife! How could you-"
"Shut your mouth, you damn bitch! Have you forgotten where I picked you up? Don't think you're a good woman who deserves to be treated with dignity! You're nothing more than a cheap whore and I won't waste my money on you for nothing. You will pay for everything I have given you so far. Don't think that I gave it to you for free, do you understand?" He said as he walked out of the room.
He felt too shocked by the life he had to live. Nine months ago, Jonathan Smith, a famous casino owner in Las Vegas admitted that he fell in love with her during their meeting at a nightclub.
Jonathan is an adult man who is handsome, rich and has charisma that makes any woman fall in love with him. Lyra Everdeen is no exception. An ordinary woman who dreams of marrying a rich man will change her life.
Yes, right. Her previously very simple life changed drastically in just three months since her first meeting with Jonathan.
Jonathan took her to live in his very luxurious penthouse, bought her jewelry and luxurious clothes that at the time seemed impossible for her to have. However, all that changed on their wedding day.
Jonathan immediately pointed out his true nature, which was crazy and wild. After the wedding party took place, he immediately brought his two friends to have foursome sex with the woman he had just married.
"Crazy bastard-" every time she remembered what happened that night made her heart hurt so much. She didn't believe that she was more than a sexual object, rather than a woman who should be respected and loved.
However, what is far worse than all that. She had to accept the fact that tomorrow at a private party held at a luxurious mansion, she would be auctioned off as a "Dating friend" to rich men for three months to those who were able to bid her at the highest price.
She just found out that she was not the only woman who had received inhumane treatment like this, two years ago, Jonathan had also auctioned off his fiancé to an old man.
"This is not fair-"
She started crying again every time she remembered the inappropriate treatment she received during her six months as Jonathan Smith's wife.
She remembered her nightmare last night. A dream that seemed to be the source of the feelings of guilt and bad karma she had experienced since that incident.
Her life was completely destroyed, she lost the only person who loved her sincerely and accepted her with all the bad emotions she had.
"Lucas?" Her lips trembled when she said that name again after almost 15 years had passed since that tragic night.
"I really like you, I like you, Lyra."
The last words he said that night, his gentle smile that was so sincere will not be replaced. She realized that she lost the only love in her life.
"Lucas, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry."
Lyra Everdeen, who has now become Mrs. Lyra Smith, has restarted her fake life full of lies. She walked in a shopping center that sold famous brand clothes and bags with a stunning appearance that made everyone who saw her immediately know that she was not just any woman.
She got out of a luxury car, wearing a short dress, shoes and a branded bag. She behaved like an upper class socialite, as her husband wanted.
"Would you like to try these shoes on, Ma'am?" Asked a young woman who was a shop assistant who he often visited every time she wanted new shoes.
"Yeah, I want to try it!" She said with a flat smile. The shop assistant immediately took the pair of shoes she wanted to try.
After wearing the pair of shoes, she felt they were suitable, but the color was too simple to wear at a party.
"Looks good on you!" Said a man who praised her. Lyra immediately turned to the man standing two steps in front of her.
A tall, well-built young man with dark brown hair and sharp amber eyes smiled gently at her. Lyra looked down for a few seconds, before turning back to him.
"Thank you for the compliment, Sir!" She said sarcastically. She hates men, any man, she hates all men after her life was ruined because of the madness of the man who became her husband.
She immediately paid for the shoes to the cashier because she felt uncomfortable with the man's gaze. Then leave the shop. But what she was worried about happened, the man followed her and that made her feel scared.
"What are you doing? Why are you following me?" She said annoyed. She knew that if this man tried to disturb her, she would immediately scream.
The man showed a wallet, Lyra was shocked, not knowing how her wallet came to be in the man's hands.
"My wallet? You stole it, didn't you?"
"Stealing? You dropped it, Ma'am!" He said with a chuckle. Lyra felt annoyed and immediately snatched her wallet from the man's hand.
"You thief! How dare you steal a woman's wallet, have you been stalking me for a long time? That's right, you must have been following me because you know I'm a rich woman, right?"
"Rich woman? How rich are you that your mouth can belittle someone?"
"What? Hahaha...you really are shameless, aren't you? You pretended to compliment me in the shop so that I would be careless and accidentally leave my wallet behind. Then you took it and claimed that you had found my wallet. You just asked reward, right?"
"Mrs. Smith, I think you have misunderstood. I have no intention of causing trouble with you. I also don't want anything in return from-"
Slapp...
Lyra immediately slapped the man when she realized that he knew her name. She felt disgusted and humiliated.
"How dare you call my name? You must have opened and checked my wallet, right? Just admit it!" She shouted irritably. Her shout made people start to pay attention to the two of them.
This man was silent for a few moments while touching his cheek which had just been slapped by a rich and respectable woman after he had kindly chased her to return her wallet.
The man smiled coldly, making Lyra start to feel intimidated. Yes, this man was much taller than her, maybe around 30 cm taller. The look in his eyes was so sharp that Lyra didn't move.
"I didn't know that a rich and respectable woman could so easily look down on others. I'm truly sorry for making you feel uncomfortable." He said as he walked away, leaving Lyra who was frozen in silence with a strange feeling of guilt.
"W-wait...!" Subconsciously she called the man even though she didn't want to. The man stopped walking, but still refused to look back.
"Listen, I won't apologize to you! So don't expect me to apologize! I'm sure you're just a thief and trying to steal from me!"
