She Refuses To Cheat

Whilst lying on his bed under a cool night breeze, beads of sweat were dripping off Nicks face and his body couldn seem to remain still. He was fidgeting on the bed and shaking his head from left to right. His heart was unstable and his lips were trembling. In his sleep, Nick saw himself in an unconscious state on an isolated bed in an empty clubhouse.

A woman wearing a white gown opened the door and tiptoed toward him. Upon getting closer, the woman raised her hands and slowly brought it over Nicks face. Nick felt the presence of an object drawing close to him and opened his eyes. But he was too late. Immediately his eyes were opened, the woman placed both hands on his neck and using her entire strength, began to choke Nick on the neck.

She said as she did this: ”Cheater! How dare you have an affair behind my back! On top of it all, how dare you have an affair on my wedding day! ”

Nick, the victim, got confused. He tried to reach out for an object nearby but there was nothing he could use. He then held the ladys hands and forced himself to say the words: ”A-na, Im… sorr-y. P-lease forgive me. ”

Though he said this, the lady strangling him wasn going to let go. She was ready to kill him, even if it meant ending up in prison.

But Nick wasn ready to die, hence still made attempts to free himself. Nevertheless, the more he tried to set himself free, the more Ana tightened her grip on him. Now Nick was losing his senses. He couldn breathe freely and couldn hear clearly. Slowly, Ana was getting rid of the soul beneath her. Nick was struggling to stay alive as his body felt too weak to fight his opponent. He wriggled his legs whilst trying his best to shove Anas hands off his neck, but to no avail. Gradually, Nick slowly let go of Anas hands and left his destiny in the hands of the woman on top of him.

However, Ana let go of Nick and surprisingly started to cry.

Nick coughed as he tried to catch his breath. It seemed as if he was breathing for the first time in his life. Ana, on the other hand, sat by Nicks side on the bed and continued crying. As she sobbed, she said: ”Nick, though I hate you for your infidelity, I cannot kill you. Do you know why? ”

Nick was still trying to catch his breath and could hardly pay attention to what she was saying.

Ana added: ”Because men like you don deserve to die. Death is too easy of a punishment for you. Thats why I will make sure that every second, every minute, every hour and every day of your life will be filled with pain and horror. Terror will be your breakfast and trembling your lunch as misery is served as your dinner. You will beg me to take your life away from you, but I won . For my goal is to ensure that you never become happy as long as you live your long miserable life. ”

Those words were clearly heard by Nick. All of a sudden, he woke up and realized that it was all a nightmare. His bed was soaked with sweat and his heart could not stop beating quickly. He turned his neck and saw his wife Ana, sleeping soundly. He couldn stop panting and looked so pale.

Unable to sleep anymore, Nick slowly stepped out of the bed and opened the door with a lot of care.

After he got out of the room, he quickly descended the staircase and went to the fridge. Feeling so dehydrated, he rushed in for bottled water. With his hands shaking vigorously, the bottle fell to the ground. Nick bent down to pick it up, but once he grabbed hold of the bottle, the lights came in.

Upon turning to see who had turned on the lights, Nicks heart jumped out of his chest. Once his eyes met with his wifes, he fell to the ground and could hardly stand up.

She was wearing a white robe which gave her an eerie feeling. Also, her long straight hair which had covered most of her face, made her look like a ghost from the movies.

Seeing her husband fall to the ground, Ana rushed to help him up. But as he saw his wife approaching, Nick got on his feet and took to his heels. Running out of the house, Nick had nowhere exactly to go and Ana, upon getting more concerned about her husband, rushed outside, chasing after him.

”Nick! Nick! ” she called out but her husband just disappeared into the distance.

Ana looked around the house for a while but couldn find Nick. Feeling quite cold, she decided to head back inside. Nick, who was hiding behind a trash can outside, gave out a huge sigh after seeing his wife leave.

Coming out of his hiding place, he muttered to himself, saying: ”Thank goodness she didn see me. ”

But afterwards he asked himself: ”Why did I run outside? Was it because of the dream I had? Perhaps, does she know that I have been cheating on her? ”

Looking closely at the mansion before him, Nick suddenly feels chilly and hugs himself whilst saying: ”Theres no way. It is best if I return to my old self. Besides, it was just a dream. ”

He says convincingly to himself and heads inside. Once he gets to the bedroom, he sees his wife on the bed with her eyes closed and sleeps next to her. She didn react or utter a word though her mind was awake.

The morning comes by quickly and Nick is taking a shower whilst singing. He comes out with a white towel wrapped around his waist and sees his wife staring right at him.

Nick jumped back and nearly slipped to the ground as he got startled by her. Though he had been married for two months, he was still not used to the marriage environment. Pretending as if everything is normal, he smiles at his wife but he
