Backup Girl No More: Adios to my V-card and My First Love (Brooklyn) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 20 

Chapter 20 

Viola stared at Ken in shock. When she met his eyes, they were perfectly clear–no trace of 

intoxication. 

Ken flung her hand away, sending her stumbling. “Did you really think a little alcohol would be 

enough to get me drunk? You underestimate me.” 

He picked up her discarded clothes and threw them at her. “Have you no self–respect?” 

The contempt in his eyes stung. “Am I really that repulsive to you, Ken?” 

At the research base, scientists were granted monthly leave for rest. On one such day, Henry and 

Calista went to register their marriage. 

Sitting in the car afterward, Calista felt her nerves jangling. She stared out the window, her heart 

racing. 

Henry wrapped an arm around her. “Nervous?” 

“No, just… it doesn’t feel real yet.” 

He grinned. “Better believe it–you’re my wife now!” 

Marriage verification completed, Henry held her hand excitedly. “We’re officially married! I promise to make you happy, Calista. I’ll do whatever it takes.” 

His earnest declaration made her laugh. As Henry slipped the Tiffany ring onto her finger, Calista studied his profile. “I hear quite a few women at the base have a crush on you.” 

He lifted her hand to his lips. “My heart has only hold one person.” 

She tapped his shoulder playfully. “You certainly know what to say!” 

Henry led her toward the nearest market. “Let’s buy some treats to share at the base. We should announce our marriage to everyone.” He squeezed her hand. “What do you think?” 

Calista nodded affectionately. Henry was everything she could want in a husband–he made her feel safe, cherished. 

But later, reading Uncle Johnson’s letter, her smile faded.
