Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Promise made...

"Can you not let go of my hand, no matter what happens? And... can you always remember me?" he asked, his voice low but sincere.

Jessica was stumped, her breathe caught in her throat while her heart thumped wildly yet she met his question with silence.

She didn’t expect such a question. In as much as she has her fears of what tomorrow might be for them; she hadn’t taken any time to consider who is holding on or who is not holding on at the moment. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

With the knowledge that tomorrow might come with its challenges, she felt herself lacking of the confidence needed.

She is really afraid, having witnessed her mother’s painful end, she lacks the confidence to trust any man. She can only believe what she has today.

But it is more scary to hear him make that request, —request? No, it’s certainly not a request, he is asking for a promise.

He doesn’t mind whatever price he has to pay but then at this minute at this moment, he felt fear, fear of her response, fear of her rejection though his wife but then it was someoneelse plot.

Jessica took a deep breathe, her thoughts racing in her head. May be it is time to live the reality and not dwell in fantasy. It is really time they focus on the truth and not rely on their imagination.

In as much she is afraid of the future, she can only live the present to pursue the future. She stared at him for a while, her eyes taking note of the several emotions swirling in them -the expectation, the hope and the fear of rejection.
