Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Are You Sharing The Bed With...

After dinner, Enzo retreated to his room for some shut-eye. Jayden and Elyse were about to call it a night too, but their elders had other plans, insisting they join in for a drink.

Elyse, being unable to handle alcohol, started feeling woozy after a couple of sips of wine. Desiring nothing more than to hit the hay, Elyse found herself being escorted back to her room by Brook, who volunteered for the job.

In a haze, Elyse stumbled along, barely aware of her surroundings. As she collapsed onto the bed, she murmured Jayden's name almost involuntarily.

Standing by the door, Brook wore a smirk that spoke volumes. "Looks like you've got a thing for him," he remarked ambiguously before shutting the door behind him and disappearing into the night.

Sometime later, Elyse was startled awake by a scream. She bolted upright, her heart pounding in her chest.

Hurrying outside, she found a group of people heading in the opposite direction.

"What's going on?" she asked anxiously.

Jessie turned to her, wearing a troubled expression. "Where were you just now? We didn't see you."

"I got a bit tipsy and crashed in a guest room. What happened?"

Jessie frowned, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Something's up. It seems to involve Jayden."

As reality dawned on Elyse, she pushed through the crowd and entered a room. In the dimness, she could make out two figures embracing.

Brook flicked on the lights, surprise evident in his voice. "Joanna? What's going on? Are you sharing the bed with Jayden?"

Elyse furrowed her brow.

Joanna stirred from her slumber, her face still flushed. "I... I don't know. I came in first, and then Jayden followed."

The man beside her remained motionless.

How could they be so sure it was Jayden without even seeing his face? Elyse wondered.

Undeterred by the crowd's attempts to block her, she approached the bed and pulled back the covers. To her surprise, it wasn't Jayden lying there, but Bryce! "Bryce, why are you here?" she exclaimed.

Bryce couldn't contain her anger upon seeing her son peacefully asleep on Joanna's bed.

She closed in, her fury palpable, and slapped Joanna across the face "You whore! What have you

done to my son? Did you do it? You'll regret it!"

Joanna's head was racing as she realized it was Bryce in her bed, and

she had no idea what had happened.

Unconsciously, she glanced at Brook and saw that he was gone.

Joanna, bewildered, stammered, "I... I don't know! Nothing happened between me and Bryce. He

came into the room on his own."

"Hal So you're saying my son made a move on you? My boy wouldn't fall for someone like you! Get out of my face, you tramp!"

With a swift shove, Tess ejected Joanna from the bed, exposing the telltale hickey on her neck for all to see.

Julie couldn't help but jest, "Seems like Jayden might have to step aside and give his younger brother a shot with Joanna."

Tess's gaze turned steely as she glared at Joanna. "My son will never marry someone like

you!"

Elyse, observing the scene, couldn't shake off the feeling that this whole debacle was a setup. Did

Joanna mistake Bryce for Jayden? And if so, why? Was this some sort of trap?

After searching several rooms, she finally found him in the bathroom, submerged in a cold bath, his skin flushed an unnatural shade of red.

"Jayden! There you are!" she exclaimed, rushing to his side

But as she reached out to touch him, he startled awake, gripping her wrist tightly.

"Ouch! Jayden, it's me!"

As he recognized her, Jayden relaxed his grip, his voice tinged with exhaustion and something else.

"What's going on out there?"

"Joanna and Bryce wound up in bed together. Prior to everyone witnessing the situation in that room, they assumed it was you in there. It appears to be a carefully orchestrated scheme," she elaborated.

Jayden nodded grimly. "Yes, they wanted to set me up. But I'm not sure who else was involved." "I don't know either. But your mother was livid and took it out on Joanna."

As Elyse finished recounting the events, Jayden's tone turned curt. "Give me a moment!"
