I’m Just His Wife

“Wait, were you mad at me, Darlyn?” I asked worriedly.

He woke up immediately. “Why should I be angry with you?” he wondered.

“You look so angry. Okay, I’m sorry because I can’t love Seymour like he expected but-”

He cut me off from what I was going to say. “Crazy. I’m not angry at all. I’ve been through that before so I understand you. I feel you. Just in case, I chose and I loved the wrong person …” anger drew in his eyes but he also immediately closed his eyes.

“was that tight?” I laughed saying.

He woke up again and slightly pulled my long hair so I winced.

“Gaga. I learned those things early. But of course, you’re still better. That’s Andrea Steinfields.” he grinned.

I smiled too. “Yeah right. I’m Andrea Steinfields.”

Ivan’s POV

“Lara, why did you just come home now ?!” I frowned and shouted.

I just came home from work and I found that Lara was not here at home and a few moments later she arrived. Very drunk. Fuck it! It’s getting early.

He looked at the wall clock which said it should be early in the morning.

“I finished shooting, babe. I’m sorry, okay? Don’t be mad anymore.” he stroked my cheek while smiling so I immediately walked away from him.

“Shooting? Why do you smell like alcohol?” I challenge the question.

He approached the one with a sigh and almost fell down. Fortunately, I caught him.

“I only drank a little, babe. I miss you …” he sniffed my neck so I pulled him away from me slightly.

“Did you really put that shooting and drinking before Lance? You should have just stayed here at home and taken care of him! You’re his mother, anyway.”

“Oh, Lance. My son, ah, no. Our son. I’m sorry babe, I forgot.” he says laughing. Tsk, I think this woman was really drunk!

“Lance was not my son, Lara! Stop fooling around! Since our real child died in your womb, I have no child with you!”

Her tears rolled down her cheeks. Darn it, Lance was never been my son! I’m not related to him! “No, he’s our son. Lance was our son!”

“Wake up, Lara! Wake up to the fact that Lance was your son to another man!” I was angry and shouted loudly.

He immediately walked away from me and I didn’t expect him to slap my cheek. I touched my cheek and frowned at him.

“You, asshole! He’s your son! He’s our son! You won’t let us live here in your house and you won’t consider him a son if he’s not your son!” he shouted angrily.

“I’m just doing you a favor, Lara.” calmly but seriously I promise.

“Doing me a- what? Favor?” could not believe his promise.

I sighed and nodded my head. “Yes. I know I’m the reason why our child passed away. I pushed you that lead you on having a miscarriage. I know it hurts you so I left you here with me because I want to make up for it. And when I found out you were pregnant other man, I didn’t understand that and I still put you here. And the reason why I’m treating Lance as my own son? Because you don’t have anything to take care of him, Lara. You don’t pay attention to him because it’s all about acting and drinking was what you do … ”

“No! You’re just lying! That’s not true! You love me so we’re together now! Our son loves us! You love Lance and me!” he grabbed her head and burst into tears.

“Lara, stop that crap! The kids can hear you!” Darn, maybe my son Ice will avoid me even more because of this.

I washed my palm over my face out of frustration. For five years, this has always been the case. Everything has changed since he disappeared. Ever since he left me for no apparent reason.

The last thing I remember was we were happy then. But why did he leave? I told him the truth, that I love him but why did he leave me?

I tried to find her but nothing really. He was hiding. But I’m still not tired of waiting for him because I know he will come back. That he would get Ice and me back.

“Jusko, Ivan. What’s going on here?” Manang Lisa asked worriedly so I immediately turned to her. She was with another maid who was worriedly looking at Lara who was now lying on the floor and still crying.

I took a deep breath. I’m tired of this. If he was still here, it wouldn’t be so chaotic. We would have been happy to form a family today.

“Man, please take care of Lara. I’ll go up to the bedroom first. I’ll be in early tomorrow and I have something important to work on.” I almost whispered the promise but it was just right for Manang to hear.

“Oh hey, go ahead you. I know you’re tired from work.”

I just nodded and walked up the stairs. I even heard Lara screaming but I couldn’t take it anymore. I was too tired to understand him.

I was surprised when I met Ice here in the hallway on the second floor. He looks at me seriously while having headphones in his ears.

“Ice, son …” I called to him.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

His gaze deepened on me before running into his room. I closed my eyes tightly and hit the wall. When will this calvary end in my life?

Even my parents and one of my siblings didn’t care about me since my husband left me. I seem to have hit Rigella. I know that, I admit. But isn’t it enough that I said I loved him for him to leave me?

I went into our room and immediately sat on the bed and immediately took off my coat. Our room misses her. Every corner of this room was shouting his name.

I got up and took beers to the mini fridge. I opened it all up and I immediately spotted one. I close my eyes when I feel the heat of the wine pass down my throat. This was what I fucking need right now.

I do not know what to do. I feel like, I”m slowly falling apart because he”s not by my side. Maybe, if I hadn’t been so stupid then and I immediately felt that I loved him, he could still accept me.

My cellphone rang so I took it out of the pocket of my slacks. I looked at who the caller was and was stunned when I saw who it was. Will he add to my problems?

“What now, Uno?” I have no appetite to say.

“Get ready, Dos. Miss Steinfields was on her way home to the Philippines …” I heard her grin on the other line.

“Who was that woman really?” I wondered. I’m really curious about her because even in public she doesn’t show up.

“She’s our fucking Queen, Dos. I’m the tallest in Dark Alpha but she’s even taller because I’m indebted to her.” She said emphatically and I could hear the annoyance in her voice.

“Why not kill her, Uno? It looks like it’s easy for her to be killed because she’s a woman.” I said and poured another bottle of wine when I ran out of one.

“Damn you, Dos. Neither I nor you can handle him. Did you know that almost all of my staff were killed when he was alone, when I planned to kill him?”
