His Bedwarmer’s Wife

“She got those during our —— sex.” As if I was embarrassed to answer then bowed my head. No one spoke to them because they seemed to get what I wanted to tell.

“I admit I didn’t love Hailey when we got married, but I never showed her bad. I respected her because I also have a sister. That’s why we tried to have a baby so maybe we can develop our love. But we didn’t expect what happened.” I show them that I am also not in favor of what is happening to us.

“I want her to be ok, to be safe, if she really doesn’t want to come back to me, I will respect her decision. But at least I know she’s ok,” I added.

“I told you hon, your daughter is making a fool of herself again.” Mommy Charlotte said calmly. I guess everything I said was effective. “Because you were always there to tolerate her doings.”

“No, I’m not, I just taught her to be strong just like Hera. How to be dependent and how to protect themselves,” daddy Zacharias replied.

“No you’re not honey, you’re teaching them that it’s ok to hurt others for your own sake.”

“Because that’s the reality of life and I’m proud that they learned that. Save yourself and your family first, before anyone else. Right, Hera?”

“Hmph, I agree to daddy, mom, no offense means,”

“Hera!” reprimand mommy Charlotte.

“Sorry mom, I love you promise.”

“It’s like you said that it’s ok to lied,” mommy complained.

“Yes, because lying is a part of protecting yourself,” dad said.

“But —-” mommy didn’t finish what she was going to say because Hera cut it off.

“Dad, Mom, enough, I guess you’ll forget that Hunter is here.” The couple stopped arguing. Daddy smiled, Mommy let out a long sigh.

“She’s fine, Hunter. She texted us this morning and said that she’s ok. She’s out somewhere but we don’t know exactly where, but she said she’s ok.” I was stunned by what mommy Charlotte said.

So they already have news about Ley? I bowed down and pretended to wipe away the tears.

From daddy Zach’s mouth earlier, lying is part of protecting yourself.

“Well, at least I’ll be reassured to know she’s ok. That’s all that matters to me.”

“Then calm yourself, everything is under control,” Daddy said meaningfully, I smiled at him too. I hope it’s true they said that Ley is ok.

I’m thinking about where Ley can be found. But sad to say, I don’t have any idea. I don’t know her since then and we have never been friends. I didn’t know her and I didn’t know what her interests were before we got married.

Every day I go out of the house to look for Ley. I also called Kyla to find out if Ley came home but her answer was purely negative.

I also call Hera and occasionally visit but they don’t seem worried. It seems that they are used to her always being gone.

They said that this is not the first time Ley has disappeared. She also disappeared for almost a year without anyone knowing where she was. She said she just left a note not to look for her. When she came home she just said that she enjoyed being single.

Her family is not worried as long as there is no corpse that can be said to be Ley’s body.

But Hera admitted she was nervous if at some point it would have been okay. But they found out that Ley filed an annulment so they might have run away because I hurt her emotionally.

IT’S BEEN a month, and I seem to be neglecting everything. Even Kyla is crying because she misses me so much. I miss her more and I need to make up for her. My secretary also called me because there was a lot of pending work in the office.

So far, Ley’s dad has not revoked his investment in dad’s company. They’re still good to each other anyway. They still meet somehow with Kyla’s dad.

Now I’m back in Manila. I informed Ley’s parents and said that I was needed in the office but my investigator continued to search for Ley. No one stops me since they knew I needed it in the job.

On my way, Kyla called because she knew I was on my way home. Even though I was driving I still answer her call.

“Baby!” she shouted obviously excited to hear the voice.

“Hey, Relax.”

“I’m so excited because your annulment papers have arrived.” She excitedly informs me. I was nervous about the result also.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

How the fuck it is too soon. Annulment takes three years before the result.

“Good, one hour and I’ll be home. I miss you.”

“I miss you too. Oh! By the way babe, I want you to know that —– ouch! Why did you slap me” I stopped at the side of the road when I heard Kyla scream.

Who was there with Kyla?

“Baby who’s there?” I asked while listening to the other line.

“Give me my fucking phone!” Kyla shouted.

I waited for her to speak but she didn’t seem to want to speak. “Give me back my fucking—–ouch.”

“Kyla who’s there!” I shout?

“Shh! come home, “whispered the other line and the call was dead. Fuck!

Who is that?

Why she slapped Kyla?

I speeded up and I didn’t care about the road and how many meters per hour I was running. Even orange light I slip through. When its red light is on, I annoyingly hit the steering wheel

When I arrived at the building I left my belongings in the car and quickly got off to get to the condo immediately. I need to see who’s there. Why was she there and why did she hurt Kyla. Using my own key I quickly opened the door.

“Baby.” Kyla quickly hugged me with a cracked lip.

“Who did that?” I asked annoyed as I touched her lip. I feel all my blood boiled because of what I saw.

“Me!” shout of female voice coming out of my room. “Surprised Hunter. Missed me?” she asked as he stretched out wanting to hug.

I looked at her from head to toe, cause I didn’t recognize her.

“L-ley?” she nods with a wide smile.

“I’m back,” she said softly as she raised an eyebrow.
