Man of My Heart

Chapter 1

It's been a few days since Matthew and I got married. I think it's been five days?

Yeah, probably five days have passed since our wedding was celebrated.

.

I was staring at Matthew. He was reading a book while taking a sip of his coffee.

"What?" He coldly said.

"Uhm... don't you think we should get to know more about each other? We're married, but we're not even close..."

"Yes, we are married. But we didn't get married because we love each other. I don't see why you want to know more about me." He said annoyed.

I just scratched my head when I heard what he said. I sighed.

"As your husband, of course we need to know more about each other. I can't just be on the same house with a stranger."

I promised him.

Instead of saying anything, Matthew just glared at me. As if I said something wrong to him. I groaned.

"Uhm, N-Nevermind." I stammered.

"So... what are we going to do?" I asked him. He took a sip of his coffee and continued reading the book that he held. He didn't answer my question.

'What the heck!? I'm trying to befriend him!' I said to myself. I sighed one last time before I got up.

"If you're not in the mood to talk, then I'll just leave you alone." I promised him.

He didn't say a single word and just read the book that he was holding. 'Ugh. It's annoying.'

"Hey, wake up." Matthew woke me up so I was surprised.

I gently rubbed my eyes and turned to look at Matthew who was standing right beside our bed. I yawned.

"Did something happen?" I just asked.

"It's dinner time."

"What? Already...?" I told him and immediately sat down. I fixed my hair.

"Right... I'll cook us dinner." I told him and smiled. He just sighed at me.

"I didn't wake you up to cook us dinner. There is food on the table so you stand there." He said to me annoyed.

"Oh, okay. I'll just follow." I nodded to what he said and stood up.

I sat in the chair and Matthew and I began to pray. After praying, we ate our food silently.

"Nash." Matthew called me so I immediately turned to him.

"Yes? Is there a problem?"

"I want you to sleep on the guest room." He told me and I was surprised.

I smiled awkwardly, "Why? We were sleeping together yesterday just fine."

"I'm bringing over a girl. It's been months since I had s*x with someone."

When Matthew told me that, my eyes widened. 'What?' I asked myself.

"What are you saying, Matthew? I'm your husband. How can you say that--" I couldn't finish what I was going to say when Matthew stared at me evilly.

"I'm sure I've clearly told you that we are married, but we're not in love." He promised.

"But, Matthew! I'm still your husband! If s*x is what you need then I'll be willing to help you anytime!!"

"F*ck, Nash. Are you really telling me that you're ready to open your legs wide and take me in, hm!?" He promised me. My eyes widened.

"I don't even think you have experience in these kinds of things." He added.

"Matthew---" I was about to stand up to approach him but he preceded me and left the dining table.

"Matthew! Wait, please!" I quickly followed him to the living room.

"Don't you understand?" He glared.

I clenched my fists and bit my lower lip.

"Matthew, are you just having s*x with some random woman!? I can't allow that as your husband! I'll never allow that!" I shouted at him.

"Who are you to f*cking think that I'd listen to you? Who are you to say that?"

Matthew shouted back.

Matthew stared at me annoyed. He also approached me slowly while I became a statue.

"Don't make the situation worst and just follow what I say to you. Like an obedient dog, hm?" He promised.

He patted my shoulders and gave me a forced smile. I just couldn't say a word.

His face, his body, everything including his voice was so perfect, but not his personality. He's cold as ice. And I doubt that he would even care for me in the future. 'Agh! This is messed up'

I just stared at Matthew who was heading upstairs. I sighed in disappointment, then headed back to the dining table to clean up the plates.
