My Wife is a Sassy Queen

James remained unperturbed and laughed.

He added when he had calmed down.

“Jacob said he kissed Mariana and realized that he was gay.”

Jonathan was speechless. He hadn’t expected that twist.

James ignored his friend’s expressions and slurred, “He said they were best friends and sort of dating. But the vibe between them was closer to cousins than lovers. When they kissed, he realized how much he never wanted to kiss any girl in his life ever again.”

Jonathan had to stifle his laugh.

‘Good for Jacob!’

‘Poor Mariana lost her first kiss like that. Tch! Tch!’

James continued his ramble.

“Then they became even closer. Which may have been why Mariana never dated anyone.”

Jonathan thought about it and added, “Makes sense! She wouldn’t have needed to look for a relationship, and others would have assumed she wasn’t available.”

James continued, “Jacob once took her horse riding. She fell and had a fracture. Her hymen tore when she fell. Then I slept with her and shouted at her for making a fuss when it wasn’t even her first time.”

Jonathan finally understood why his best friend was so depressed.

He would have been depressed if Liliana hadn’t pulled herself from the hell of marriage where he had left her.

Thankfully, the heavens were on his side, and his sarcastic, ruthless, loving, and intuitive wife dazzled so bright that he never had to face her scars.

She opened up and showed them one at a time, giving him time to recover and pull out of grief.

She would ensure he was being himself and wouldn’t wallow in self-pity or self-blame.

She was heartbroken, but she pulled through and graciously forgave him for the sake of their love and family.

James, however, had the exact opposite story.

Mariana was never heartbroken. She was humiliated and insulted. At times, she felt hopeless and bitter – but she would crash at their place, curse James all night long, eat and drink, and spring back up.

However, Mariana ended up in one ditch after the other – thanks to James.

She finally found some respite, but the cost was marrying a gay man she loved like an elder brother.

Now she was planning to have a child with him through a surrogate.

James couldn’t figure out what he felt for her. That directly screwed up Mariana’s life.

Now, James had broken off with his family. He worked as Mariana’s assistant and lived in Liam and Mariana’s marital house with Liam’s grandmother, half-brother, and lover.

It was all wrong and screwed up in all different ways.

James spoke again, interrupting Jonathan’s musings.

“Did you know Liam is gay and Jacob is his lover?”

Jonathan’s head jerked back, “Wait! Are you telling me you didn’t know?”

James asked in a drunken haze, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Jonathan was speechless. “I thought you knew. I guess everyone knows. No one told me explicitly, and they are very good at keeping up their appearance. But if you analyze their behavior, you can tell they make decisions together.”

James grumbled something unintelligible.

He was still ignorant. He hoped to gain more perspective and focus in these two years.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

James downed his glass and thumped it hard on the floor.

“I will keep my distance until she remains married to Liam. But I will take good care of her and be worthy of her. When they get divorced, she will only think of me.”

Jonathan patted his shoulders to calm him down.

“You also need to build a good impression with her parents. Aunty especially hates you, and she doesn’t know anything.”

James deflated like a balloon. But he filled his glass and drank it all.

“I will make it!”

And he did make it.

Three years later, after being married for three and a half years – Mariana and Liam got a divorce.

A year after their divorce, Mariana and James would tie the knot in a simple ceremony with Liam’s grandmother’s blessing.
