free online books to read LOVE IS BRAVE Chapter 2 Status
On the bright and starry night, the lights of all homes went out, including the villa behind Josephine.
She and Reginald had been married for several years and she thought this place as home. She never felt a sense of belonging, because Reginald never regarded her as his wife.
If she hadn't lost her away at the age of seven, she, Josephine, would live a happy life, as the beloved daughter of her parents.
And Aurelia, who was adopted by her parents, enjoyed her life as a princess. Moreover, she almost substituted her to become Josephine's bride!
Josephine did not understand it. After ten years, the entire Cooke family seemed to have completely forgotten about her existence, and Reginald even regarded her as a fierce beast.
What was she supposed to do?
The door was suddenly opened from inside, Josephine turned around and found the plump woman deliberately tidying up her messy hair and clothes in front of her, her eyes staring at her with provocation and mockery. "It's almost dawn, Mr. Barnes told you to get in, just in case someone sees it and makes fun of us."
Josephine smiled coldly and lifted her head, "I advise you better leave with your face covered. If your face is photographed by someone, you will no longer be able to stay in Breton city in the future."
The woman's florid face changed. She glared at her with hatred, and stomped her away out.
Josephine's face, however, didn't show any pride of a victor. She held the door, stood up gradually and walked into the villa with halting steps.
Reginald moved toward her, but she walked to her room without looking at him. Reginald's cold voice sounded behind her, "Did I tell you to leave?"
Josephine's footsteps lurched as Reginald walked over and looked at her with a smirk, "Do you think we're over this night?"
Josephine looked up at him, the coldness under his eyes was burning with fire, just like the day when he woke up and found out the person lying beside him was Josephine instead of Aurelia. Josephine felt a sudden heartache, and couldn't help tilting her head up to face his sarcastic smile, "If Mr. Barnes is dissatisfied, you simply need to make a call, as there are plenty of women lining up to have sex with you. It just depends on whether you like it or not."
Reginald's face sank as he rushed over and clutched her hands to push her onto the bed. Josephine's head bumped onto the wall, causing her dizzy so hard. Just then, Reginald pounced upon her.
Josephine's eyes widened in shock, as the strong smell of alcohol drilled into her nose. Josephine was in great pain, but she was unable to scream, because his kiss was so fierce with no mercy at all.
He wasn't kissing her, but trampling on her pride mercilessly. Josephine made up his mind and clenched her teeth so hard that he let out a cry of pain and left immediately.
The blood between his lips made Reginald sober up instantly and he was furious. However, he suddenly sneered, and said in a cold voice, "Stop acting! Remember last time you drug me just to get me to fuck you? Josephine, you're so cheap, aren't you afraid of hurting the child?"
He looked coldly at her slightly bulging belly. Just the thought of her drugging himself again to have sex with her made him so angry. What a vicious woman!
"What wine? I've never been to your room before!"
"Still pretending? Josephine, don't you forget how did you get into the Barnes family?"
Feeling his hands gradually tightened, the last trace of defense in Josephine's heart collided. As the corners of her mouth suddenly hooked up, she laughed in an extremely mocking way.
"You're my husband, is it wrong for us to have any intimate relations?"
Reginald's dark eyes flashed with a touch of darkness and a burst of anger, "Josephine, it's me who has indulged you too much."
Reginald stared at her with a deadly glare, suddenly squatting down and pulling her long hair towards the ground, leaning against her to press her underneath him. He opened his mouth and bit her lips hardly, and the taste of blood suddenly spread between his teeth.
"Fuck off!"
Josephine quickly shifted her head and struggled with all her strength. However, Reginald grabbed her hair tighter, forcing her to turn around. The pain almost tore her heart out, and Josephine's face turned pale. She pushed him hardly, and shouted hoarsely, "Reginald, are you crazy? I'm pregnant!"
Reginald didn't stop; instead, his movements were rude without even the slightest hint of pity.
The pain made Josephine's whole body trembling. She bit her lips tight, the taste of blood spilling into her mouth. She braced her last strength to glare at him, her face full of hatred, her face pale, "What do you think will happen if Aurelia shows up at this time?"
Reginald's face was suddenly ashened. He raised his head to stare at her blankly; his suppressed anger was completely erupting. He brutally pinched her jaw, gritting his teeth, and said, "Josephine, shut the fuck up!"
What Reginald hated most was her mentioning Aurelia's name. She framed him with drug and ruined his plan of proposing to Aurelia. His grandfather threatened him and he married Josephine. However, she continued to use despicable means to threaten him, and it really made him furious.
With her jaw nearly broken, Josephine gritted her teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood, the corners of her mouth curled up into a sneer, "Do you really love Aurelia? After our marriage, you still bring women back night after night. Reginald, just because you can't get her, you're satisfied by torturing me like this?"
"Josephine!"
Reginald realized that she was deliberately provoking him, his tone was suddenly gloomy, his expression full of disgust, "I warn you for the last time. You don't deserve to mention Aurelia's name, and you are just relying on the fact that you are pregnant.
After delivering this baby, sign the divorce document as fast as you can and get the hell out of here!"
Reginald let her go, and with a hard shake, he coldly threw her away and flung the door.
Immediately, Josephine collapsed exhausted on the bed, clutching her body and crying out in pain.
