Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Start with the basics...

Jessica felt the reality of the marriage contract agreement hit her like a thunder clap, she swallowed hard, and her hand trembled lightly trying to process the rules on the marriage contract.

She felt ashamed and angry for losing her temper when she didn’t take a proper look at the paper but —the terms of the agreement are so outrageous that a simple recollection of it makes her angry. "I don’t think that’s necessary," she muttered, avoiding his gaze.

It necessary for them to have a common ground of peaceful coexistence but —"How can she move into the same master bedroom with him? Sharing the same spaces with no privacy? And then—" A sheer thinking of this made her gasp for breathe.

Davis looking at her changing expression smiled . He leaned back slightly, his tone calm but firm. "You agreed we can try this marriage properly, didn’t you? Then, let’s start with the basics." He couldn’t hide the amusement and mischief in eyes.

Jessica clenched her fists. "Basics?" she repeated, almost scoffing. "Moving into your room is a bit too much, don’t you think? We could just... co-exist without taking things that far."

"What makes it a married couple then?" Or — Davis arched a brow, amusement flickering in his eyes. "Are you scared?"

"Of course not," Jessica snapped, but her hesitation betrayed her. She couldn’t deny the fact that he is right.

"Then what’s the problem?" he challenged.

Jessica exhaled sharply. "I just think we need some... boundaries. You’re used to your space, and same to me. Sharing a room could be uncomfortable for both of us."

Davis smirked. "Our marriage is already uncomfortable from it’s onset. That’s why it’s a trial—so we see if we can handle it and make the most of out of it."

Jessica felt trapped. "So, what now? You expect me to just pack up and move in tonight?"

"That would be ideal," Davis said smoothly. "Or do you need me to send someone to help you?"

Jessica shot him a glare. "Don’t you dare."

Davis chuckled. "Then, it’s settled. You’ll move in tonight."

Jessica let out a deep sigh. "Fine," she muttered. "But don’t blame me if I end up kicking you off the bed."

Davis chuckled again, his voice deep and amused. "We’ll see who ends up on the floor, Mrs. Allen."

Jessica groaned, rubbing her temples. "What’s with this rule about phy...siologi.." She glanced at his legs and quickly averted her gaze as she felt her cheeks heating up.

Davis was in a good mood, it’s not everyday he gets to make this icy queen flustered. "What about it?" He questioned, his brow raised daringly.

"Forget it," she muttered, shaking her head in resignation as her shoulders slagged with helplessness. She couldn’t pursue this matter further because she might create more blunders for herself and the situation might become more awkward.

Davis watched her with mild amusement. "Giving up already?"

Jessica glared at him, it is very clear his doing it on purpose looking at the wide smile plastered all over his face. "It’s not about giving up. It’s about picking my battles."

Davis smirked. "And you think this is a battle?"

Jessica sighed. "Who wouldn’t feel like one when presented with such an agreement?" "Besides everything with you feels like one."

He chuckled and nodded lightly, a glint of emotion unreadable flashing past his eyes. "Then maybe you should start preparing for war,"

Jessica rolled her eyes. "Whatever, how do I sign this?" She asked. Davis handed her a ball point pen and quickly she scribbled her signature and handed him the paper and pen back to him.

Davis collected the items from her looking at the firm and resolute signature, his lips curved up slightly. He leaned in slightly. "So, am waiting for you as for your things, Ethan will take care of it tomorrow." He instructed calmly.

Jessica exhaled sharply. "You’re really not letting this go, are you?"

"Nope, since we have agreed to give this marriage a trial then it is of importance we get in to our role properly" he said with a smirk.

Jessica muttered something under her breath and turned to leave. "I’ll think about it." She was fuming with rage at the thought of it.

Davis leaned back, watching her retreating figure. "Just don’t take too long, or I might come to get you myself. "
