I’m Just His Wife

My eyes widened at what he said. Lara left him? was his head broken? I saw them kissing this morning ?!

“Just because of that? Tss, you’re shallow-”

He cut off what I was going to say. “I’m selfish, okay? You know that. I don’t want to be left alone. Lara left me and you will leave me too … with Ice. That’s … that’s why I won’t sign that freaking annulment … “he said while avoiding looking at me.

I amusingly stared at him. He’s a total jerk. When just because Lara left him, he would no longer sign the annulment? He was really stupid.

“You mother-fucker, I don’t have that problem anymore. That’s your problem. My son and I were also affected because of that by your dramas. You know, you should chase her if you really love her and after that sign the annulment papers that I am going to give you. Clear? ” High eyebrows I said.

I’m also really a gaga, I’ve even been able to give advice in this situation. Shit really.

“No. I won’t chase her. Might as well let her go because she left me …” her pangs tightened and I saw her fist clench.

I blinked. Coming from him? He will let go Lara? Impossible, he loves her more than anything else.

“Fine, let go. Just sign the annulment.”

He turned to me and smiled. “No damn way. I’m selfish, Rigella. Selfish. And we won’t get annulled. Damn that annulment …” He said seriously.

We corrected me with what he said.

And the last thing I know … I’m already crying, again.

Why was he selfish? Doesn’t he want me to be happy? He wanted me to accompany him to his misery. he won’t let me do that.

My palm rested on his cheek. “You beast! Don’t involve me in your problems! You’re so selfish! You’re so selfish!” I said crying as I punched his chest.

He doesn’t shy away and just lets me go. “Yes, Rigella. I’m selfish. I am so damn selfish. So you have no choice but to stay with me … and be miserable like me …” he said emphatically.

I pushed him hard so he moved away from me. “You’re crazy! Why were you doing this to me, huh ?!”

His face darkened and I could not read his expression. We were both silent and I could only hear his deep breathing and my sobs.

He was stupid, and he sympathizes with me for his insults. I’m just human, I’m in so much pain. Why did my heart choose him to love?

I was shocked when he wiped the tears from my eyes and cheeks and smiled at me bitterly. “Sometimes, tears were more special than smiles. Because, you can smile at anyone. But tears only drip for the person you can’t leave.” His face was serious again. “It hurts to accept that you were crying because of me. But it hurts more to accept … that you will also leave like him and leave me alone …” he said and left me stunned.

I knelt on the floor. I did not understand what he said. All I know was, I’m already in so much pain. It hurts so much …

I woke up because my stomach felt sick. I immediately got up as my stomach churned and ran towards the CR.

I went straight to the sink and there vomited. My headache, like being torn apart by pain. I’m crying because I’m still vomiting. I rubbed my stomach and I stopped vomiting.

I took a deep breath and reached for the glass on the sink and filled it with water then rinsed. I also washed.

Then I raised both my hands on the sink and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes swell and I turn pale. I bit my lip to make it red.

I came out of the bathroom and was devastated when I realized I was in Ivan’s room. As far as I know, after I cried, Ice and I tried to get out of the house but all the doors and windows were locked so we just stayed in her room and slept.

I sighed and sat up in bed. Ivan looks really serious when he tells me to stay by his side and be … miserable.

Well, that’s him. It’s Ivan De Leon. He always get what he wants. It was as if I had suddenly lost the courage to divorce her because of what had happened. I was really weak and I didn’t even work with him.

I was startled when the door opened. I looked over there and was devastated when I saw that Ivan was carrying a tray of food. I averted my eyes and just played with my fingers. I can’t use my phone because my bag was missing and the landline was broken here so I really have no choice.

He sat next to me, not totally next to me because the space between us was quite far. He placed the tray between us and I immediately spat when I saw that fried rice then bacon and eggs. There was also toasted bread, soup and juice.

I turned to him and he just looked at me seriously. He looked at the food and then looked at me.

“You should eat. I know, you haven’t eaten yet …” he said, as if my body hairs were rising because of the husky voice of his voice.

I just nodded and picked up the cutlery then started eating. I don’t have time to act anymore because baby and I were really hungry. We skipped dinner.

I stopped eating for a moment because I could feel Ivan’s gaze on me. I turned to him and he immediately averted his eyes and sneezed. I frowned and just continued eating. Weird.

After ten minutes I ate all the food. Seriously, I”m so full. The food was delicious. I doubt it if Manang cooked because what I ate tasted different than Manang’s.

Ivan took the tray and was about to come out but I stopped him.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ivan …” I called to him.

He turned to me and frowned.

“When … when will you let me go?” I have a sad question.

He turned his back on me and ignored my question. Tears welled up in my eyes but I was surprised when he suddenly spoke.

“Not now. Not today. And not ever.” He said and left the room.

I bent down and started crying again. Roxanne was right, that when you love, you love. Don’t be too dear. For when you were hurt, it just hurts. It doesn’t hurt so much …

Rigella’s POV

I never expect this to happen. Not even in my wildest dreams. Damn, was this really happening? Or I’m just dreaming? Or I’m too stressed to imagine this?

Why? I’m just watching my husband cleaning our house. Yeah, pretty surprising, isn’t, super surprising. I was just shocked staring at him while he was vacuuming and while I was he was just sitting here on the sofa and watching television. Well, he said I should just watch TV while he was cleaning. What the hell, right?

The maids were gone, not really because Ivan took them on vacation first. Vacation with pay so they agreed. Manang didn’t want to leave me here in case she couldn’t refuse Ivan. So now, we were the only three families in the house.

I swallowed and tried to keep my attention on the TV even though the vacuum was a bit noisy. I’ve never seen Ivan clean so I don’t know if he knows or not but now … he’s even better at cleaning than me! Our floor was very shiny.

I was blown away when I saw a donut on TV. I’m craving for it! In case I can’t go out because all the doors and windows were locked. How was that? I”m already spitting on the donut!

“What made my wife frown?”

I almost fell out of my seat when Ivan spoke. And one more … he called me wife? What the hell? Am I really going crazy? Did I hear something wrong?

“Hey, you’re stunned.” He said that’s why I blinked.
