I’m Just His Wife

He cut off what I was going to say and sighed then sat next to me here on the couch.

“So all this time, that’s why you can’t break up with her because of Ice?” She raised her eye brow and rolled her eyes. “Yes, I know how much you love and treasure your son. But how about you? was it like this for the rest of your life? You’ll always cry and get hurt. Tell me, best. Will you kill yourself with resentment, huh? ” Her voice was calm but the annoyance on her face was obvious.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

I was devastated by what he said. I couldn’t keep quiet because I knew he had a point.

“Seven years of pain was not good, Rigella. Especially since you’re pregnant now …” He fixed my messy hair. “You were a Chrysostom. Your family was influential, powerful, rich. You can choose one of your lawyers for the annulment. After all, he himself said that he does not love you and he will marry the moron and his cunning girlfriend . E, go ahead of him. Then, he caused you so much pain. So, that’s enough. That’s enough please. Don’t be stupid and be a martyr. You did your best just to save your marriage. That’s enough. ‘yon. You deserve to be happy and loved. Not like this. You don’t deserve this … ”

I bit my lower lip to stop myself to cry. This was not the time for me to break down. If only Roxanne was here with me today. It’s funny that I just got out of the hospital but I’m emotional now and thinking of things that will make me sad. Well, I can’t help it. I know it’s bad for me, for my baby but I’m already hurting so much that I can’t help but release all the weight and pain here in my heart. And Roxanne was the one who can I count in for that.

I want to get rid of the pain, I want to … arch! I want to give up on this marriage but I can’t! I love Ivan so much that no matter what pain I can endure, just don’t lose him to me. I don’t even know how many times I’ve made a fool of myself for him e. But no, I love him. I love him dearly no matter how stupid he was.

“But Roxanne, I’m just thinking about the consequences when I break up with her. I don’t want to be selfish. My children will be affected if I do that. They will lose their father …”

‘then for the first time, be selfish. For the first time, think about yourself. Look at what happened today, you contacted him, you asked for help but he didn’t go to you. He doesn’t care about you, Rigella “Even if there isn’t …”

It was as if thousands of needles had pierced my chest. The saying ‘truth hurts” was true. For the first time in seven years, it just now sinks in on me. Roxanne was right, she doesn’t care about me.

“So please, I’m the one who feels sorry for you, stop this already. It’s enough to be a fool, it’s enough to be a martyr. He already inflicted you so much pain. It’s enough …”

I was stunned by what he said. I also couldn’t answer him right away. Should I really need to stop all of this? But what about my son? I don’t want him to grow up without a whole family. And, my baby. He was a man who does not have a whole family. But what about me? Can I still do it? Can I still fight? Can I still fight even if I am fighting alone?

“Give me time, Roxy. Just give me some time. I want to think first if I’m doing the right thing. And when the right time comes, maybe, I’ll stop from holding on. I’ll stop from being a stupid wife. I’ll stop all of these shits … ”

I know that I really hurt Ivan because they couldn’t marry Lara before. Pero, don’t he think that this was too much? I think he hurt me so much over and over again as if I just wanted to die of the disease. Should I blame him for that?

She tapped my shoulder then smiled faintly. “Alright. But I hope, you can make a decision right away. But whatever your decision was, I’m just here, okay? I always got your back. Me and Seymour. We won’t leave you …”

I smiled. I really am lucky. ‘thank you, Roxanne …”

“I’ll go with you inside …”

My eyes widened at what Seymour said. It was morning and I was there at Roxanne’s condo spending the night. Seymour has now brought me here to the house because I am already worried about my son.

“H … Huh?” I was shocked by the question.

He took a deep breath. “I said, I’ll come with you inside the house. I want to make sure that you will be okay …”

I stared at him for a while to be sure. He seemed determined to be with me inside so I could do nothing but blink emphatically and nod.

Until I walked in, he supported me. I told him that I’m okay but he still supports me.

When we went inside, the maids greeted me immediately. They have a look of astonishment on their faces because maybe Seymour was with me inside.

When we got to the living room I didn’t expect what I saw. I closed my eyes sharply and averted my eyes. I smirked bitterly, I just saw Ivan and Lara kissing torridly. They were no longer embarrassed, they were still here in the living room.

I heard Seymour sneeze so I woke up and saw out of the corner of my eye that Lara and Ivan had stopped what they were doing. I turned to Seymour and he smiled sarcastically.

“As far as I know it’s a living room and not a bedroom …” Seymour said emphatically causing my eyes to widen.

I turned to Lara and Ivan. Ivan has a bad opinion of Seymour while Lara has a bad opinion of me. I just stared at the caterpillar and met his gaze.

“What the fuck were you doing here?” I was almost swallowed up by the coldness of Ivan’s voice.

“Ah, I’m here because I took your wife home. Isn’t it obvious, De Leon?” Seymour said sarcastically.

Ivan looked at me badly so I averted my eyes and grabbed Seymour’s arm. If the look was just disgusting, I might have been torn apart earlier because of Ivan’s sharp gaze.

“Get out of my house. You’re not welcome here.” Ivan’s voice was still cold.

Seymour’s eyes narrowed at the extreme edge of his stare at Ivan.

“You have no rights to kick me out of this house, De Leon. This was also Rigella’s house and I’m her friend, so I’m welcome here.”

I just swallowed the answer of the two. Jusko, were they still going to fight? I’m so stressed now.

My grip tightened on Seymour’s arm so he looked at me. He smiled slightly and looked at Ivan again.

“Get your friend out of this house, Rigella.” Ivan said but I just looked at him.

I wanted to get out of here but I couldn’t move my legs.

“Don’t you ever order him, De Leon …” Seymour said emphatically and I saw his fist clench.

I looked at Lara and she just smiled. Isn’t he nervous about these two? Shameless woman.

“Why can’t I? She’s my wife, Alcantara.” Ivan grinned and he looked at my hand holding Seymour’s arm. His face darkened and his gaze stung me so I averted my gaze again.

“Your wife? Hah! were you joking, De Leon? You call her as your wife now?” Seymour burst out laughing.

Lara sneezed and looked at me. I just raised an eyebrow at him and stared. Epal was really a caterpillar.

“We’re married, Alcantara, you know that. So technically, she was my wife.” Ivan’s emphasis.

“She’s not, De Leon. You never treat her as your wife …”

I swallowed, I seemed to know where it was going. ‘that’s enough …” I said softly as the three of them turned to me.

“Bitch.” I heard Lara mumbled.

“Same to you.” I said and stared at him.

“What did you say ?!” Annoyed Lara said and stepped closer to me.

“I said right, same to you. were you deaf?” My blood was starting to boil in this woman.

He was about to slap me but good thing, my reflexes were fast and I broke his hand.

“Don’t let that dirty palm of yours land on my cheek if you don’t want to bleed your face now. You want?” I could stand the challenge and I saw the fear in his eyes. Serves you right, bitch.
