Start of Chapter 05:
Jack and Bella were at Thompson residence: Bella came closer to Jack and pleaded that she could do anything to free Ed. Bella bend down and this exposed her milky breasts to Jack who was sitting next to Bella. Bella said, I slept with the man I hated just to give happiness to Ed and I can do anything to free him. I know Ed did not kill Nadia. I love Ed. Now Bella bursted into tears and Jack hugged her and tried to console Bella. Jack could not resist himself and hugged her very tightly. Jack and Bella looked into each other's eyes and Jack smooched Bella. Bella did not resist initially and after about a minute she pushed herself back. Jack tried to come closer again but Bella pushed him.
Jack got up apologized and tried to leave. Bella grabbed his hand and asked him to stay. Bella said she is very worried and need Jack to be with her all night. Jack called up his home and spoke to his sister who was babysitting again. His sister told Jack that baby cried a lot and just slept. She asked Jack to come soon and be with the baby. Bella brought a glass of wine for Jack. Now she was more comfortable with Jack and started telling her story to him. In the last meeting, She had already told Jack about inviting Ryan and Nadia for the dinner when Ed insisted on the same. Now Bella is telling the complete story.
Bella's version: I wore that revealing dress that night, I was so ashamed of myself and was thinking about what am I doing? I came out of bedroom and saw Ed. He looked at me and he was so happy. He said now I look like Ed Thompson's wife. He said the truth, he did not want Bella Austin, but he wanted Mrs Thompson. He wanted me to become what he wanted, to do what he need and be a slave of his desires. He was never so vocal about all this but now his urge to meet Ryan and Nadia was so evident on his behavior. Ryan was my friend so Ed needed me ,so that he can be more friendly with them specially Nadia. Ed came closer and whispered in my ears that I do not need to wear Bra, it's so hot and smiled. I told Ed , I am already very uncomfortable in this dress and I would not do that. I walked out from there and came back. I cried a lot that day, my husband wanted me to expose my body to another man so that he can get his wife. I thought I am being used as bait by my husband. For a moment I thought to just confront Ed and tell him straight forward that I will not do anything further. I took off that dress and wore a simple and sober dress. I didn't want to sell my soul to fulfill Ed's wishes. I came out and told Ed, I will not wear that dress. Ed looked at me and slapped me. I busted into tears. He told me that I am mad, psycho and should see a doctor. He started abusing me again and brought my upbringing, education and everything into the fight.
I told Ed that I don't want any other men to see me like that, I love him and my values don't allow me to do that. Now he calmed down and wrapped me around his arms. He apologized and said he is so happy to have a wife like her. I couldn't believe what I heard. He further told me that society has changed a lot. He is all mine but that doesn't mean he has a proprietary right over my body. He said people enjoy life. Sex is just for enjoyment, by having sex with anyone else does not amount to adultery anymore. He told me to enjoy my life, he said open marriages are very common nowadays. He promised me that he would not force me to any such thing but it would be really wonderful if I can add a pinch of spice in our dead sex life. He then left to my wish to wear anything of my choice, he also pleaded guilty of slapping me. He even said that I could call Ryan and Nadia and cancel the dinner. Ed was a changed man. I thought my life is back on track, I was so happy to hear all this from Ed. I rushed back to my room and wore that revealing dress. I thought if doing a little bit of flirting with Ryan would please Ed then there is no harm in doing that. I made up mind, I would do what Ed wants and this will get me Ed's unconditional love.
Ryan and Nadia came, Nadia was wearing a very short skirt and a deep neck tank top. She looked stunning that day. I hugged her and welcomed into the house. I also gave Ryan a very tight hug and made sure that Ed looked at that. I could see Ed's reaction he was really excited with that. I went ahead with dinner, I intentionally sat next to Ryan and kept my attention to him. This allowed Nadia and Ed some quality time. Ryan whispered in my ear that can I show him the home? I looked at Ed and asked if Ryan and Nadia would like to see the home together? They both stood up and then Nadia looked at Ryan and refused. She said she is fine sitting here and would like to carry on the discussion with Ed. So I looked at Ed and he told me to go ahead with Ryan. Ryan held my hand in front of them and shouted so you are my date now , everyone laughed out. I took Ryan upstairs and started showing him the house.
