His Bedwarmer’s Wife

Eugene packed his things.

He will live in his ancestor’s house while the annulment is in process.

“Dada, you come to visit us often?” My son is too young. But I think he understands what’s going on that his dada is leaving. But we also did not say the real reason.

We just said that his dada will work somewhere else. That is why he move closer to work.

“Of course, I am. Dada will move closer to work, but I am still your dada.”

“I’m gonna miss you dada.”

“I’m gonna miss you more.” Then they hugged each other tightly. “Promise me you won’t give mommy a headache and be a good boy always, ok?” Eugene said.

“Yes, dada.”

“On Sunday, dada will come home and we will buy your Optimus Prime. Is that ok?”

“Yehey! I love you dada.”

“I love you more baby.” Eugene hugs Uly tight then he approached his car.

“Be careful, Eu,” I said and hugged him while he was still lifting Uly.

“You too. Take care of yourself always.” He took my hand and kissed me. “I’ll visit you often.” I nodded at him.

“Thank you, Eu.”

“No Ley, thank you for giving me a family,” he said then kissed Ulysses. “Baby, will you take care of mommy while dada is away?”

“Aye aye, dada.”

“Good boy,”

“Bye,” Eugene said to me and sighed.

He waved goodbye as he drove the car away. When it was completely out of sight I only then realized that he was gone. I am alone again. I am always left alone.

‘Goodbye Eugene and forgive me if we haven’t been able to love each other.’

“Fuck!” I stopped the car not far from the house and hit the steering wheel. “Fuck fuck fuck! Fuckkkkkkkkkk!”

I looked the way back to the house while clenching my fist. I want to go back and take back everything I said to Ley. I want to tell her that what I said is not true and I really love her but I can’t do that.

I don’t want her to tie with me forever because I know that he will never be able to love me because Hunter is still the one she loves. I would only hurt her if I will cage her in our marriage without love. Especially now that I know he can’t love me.

She will be having a hard time whenever he sees Hunter while I’m with her. I will be hurt also because I am the one on her side but she loves others.

I know I was wrong that I met Kyla without letting Ley know. But I only met her because she knew who is the real father of Ulysses. And Kyla is now pregnant with the same father as Uly.

Kyla says she won’t bother Ley and Uly because that’s what Uly’s father wants. He wants me to stand on Uly and he won’t bother us. Kyla also asked for money from me to pay for her silence. I just wanted to clarify the true identity of my son’s father so I met Kyla when she called and said she knew Uly’s father.

I don’t want to talk about my son’s past anymore because for me he is mine. But, I couldn’t avoid not being curious so I agreed to meet Kyla. Kyla has no space in my heart anymore cause Ley already replaced her.

When I first kissed Ley that night in the club, I felt something strange. That’s why it’s easy for me to stand her child because I want to be with her. Hoping that maybe the day she will love me too. So I gave everything to Uly because I knew Ley would be happy when I did that.

But don’t get me wrong. I also loved Ulysses and considered him like my own. I will fight if someone will attempt to take him from me.

Even his own father.

But it seems that the step I made was wrong in assuming that everything would be fine as well. Just because of my stupidity I hurt Ley but I was even more hurt when she admitted that she still loves Hunter and even an inch she can’t love me back.

Hunter, who gave her a lot of suffering and almost lost herself.

Hunter is still in his heart regardless of what happened.

I gripped the steering wheel tightly. I wanted to go back and get my wife back but I don’t have the courage to do it.

I love Ley and I want to make her be happy. This is the least I can give to her, her freedom.

She suffers a lot and had a hard time back then. I already hurt her unintentionally.

I don’t know how many minutes or hours I stocked in the road thinking and crying because of Ley.

But in the end, I chose what was best for her and makes her happy.

‘I’m sorry Ley, I love you and Goodbye.’

I made my way out of the house.

I’m starting a new life now.

There was no Ulysses to greet me in the morning and no Ley lying next to me.

= HAILEY’s POV=

It’s hard when you get used to having someone always by your side. It’s been a week since Eugene left. He trained me in his presence but now that he is gone I will admit that it is hard for me to adjust. My phone rang and I saw daddy calling. I hesitate to answer his call but then I know I need to face him.

“Dad,” I greeted.

{“What happened between you and Eugene Hailey?”}

I took a deep sigh before answering. Maybe the news had reached him that Eugene had already

filed an annulment.

“Eugene and I are ok, dad. We’re still friends.” Eugene’s annulment paper also arrived only yesterday. It seems like it’s been a long time rather than Hunter and I was then.

Eugene went through the right process while Hunter and I used money.

{“What is this Hailey?”}

“It’s our decision.” I heard his deep sigh then along with the silence.

{“Are you happy?”}

“Yes, dad”

{“Are you sure?”}

“If maybe there was no Ulysses in my life I would answer you no. But since I have Ulysses, I have no reason not to be happy.”

{“I am on your side, Hailey. To you, and to my grandson.”}

“Thanks, dad.”

{“Your mom wants to see you and Ulysses.”}

“Sure dad, I’ll bring Ulysses to the hospital first.”

{“Why, what happened to Uly?”} He asked worriedly.

“Nothing serious dad, just to go to get some checkup.”

{“Are you sure?”}

“Yup.”

{“Ok then, see you at home,”} he said then turned off the call.

Lately, Uly’s dizziness has become more frequent. He said he had a headache and was always dizzy. Sometimes his vision fades and he cries with he feels pain in his eyes. I think because of using too much in the gadget knowing that he is only four years old.

I miss Eugene because in this kind of situation he always takes care of Uly. He is always there for my son. I also didn’t let him know what was happening to Uly because he had just been busy with the new business he had entered.

Sometimes, I want to blame God. Why He made my heart beats with the wrong man. Why did He let it all happen? He controlled the situation but He let this be the outcome. He let me be like this.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Sometimes, I like to think that He is punishing me for my sins.

But I am only human and I have no right to question Him.

“Ma’am!” I immediately stood up when I heard nana shout that it came from Uly’s room.

I quickly ran towards there and I saw Ulysses carried by nana.

“What happens?” He was unconscious so I approached him immediately.

“He was just playing there with Prime when he suddenly lost consciousness. I thought he was just acting dead because he pretended to be shot earlier,” Nana explained.

“Uly baby, mommy is here.” But there was no response from my son so I was confused. I listened to her heartbeat and I heard its rapid throbbing. “Take the key nana, we’ll bring Uly to the nearest hospital,” I said then took Uly from her.
