I’m Just His Wife

He let go of our hug and looked at me. “It’s part of being a mother, Ivan. I love you so much that whatever else you’ve done wrong I can still forgive you. Didn’t I tell you before that there were two kinds of love?” I nodded at him and he smiled slightly. ‘the love that forgives and the love that stays. You, son, love you so much so I will forgive you as much as I can and I will stay by your side always.”

“But, ma, because …” I couldn’t continue what I was about to say when my crying suddenly intensified. I’m hurt because I know mommy was hurt too.

His hand trembled as he wiped away my tears. Shit, I was so lucky with mommy. Even though I am not the worthy child for him, God still gave me to him.

“Your daddy was right. You have to stand up for Rigella. He needs you especially since you’re going to have children …” mom said almost in a whisper.

“I’m going to lose my inheritance, mommy …” it came out of my mouth.

His forehead furrowed. “Ivan, don’t say that. You’re becoming like your daddy. Don’t think only of money or wealth. Think of your mother and father. They need you, son.”

“But …” I took a deep breath. “We’re young. I’m not ready yet, mommy …”

‘there was no age in parenting, remember that. And another one was here. I will help you as much as I can. You can rely on me, son. I will not leave your side.”

And the day has come when I have taken up my unexpected responsibility. Rigella and I got married but still, I can’t really accept the fact that we got married that easy. I didn’t even flirt with him properly or anything.

Even though we were married I ignored him. She did everything just to make a talk with me but I kept myself busy with my studies. I don’t want to talk to him first. I need to clear my mind first because maybe what else can I say that I will only regret later.

I love her, I know that. But I cannot accept that I have sinned against him. I”m not mad at him because I”m mad at myself. His family’s situation only got worse. Our parents were the ones bothered because of what I did.

“Have you eaten?” he asked with a smile when I got home from the university I was attending. We had our own house so yes, we were together in the same house.

“I already ate.” I answered without looking at him.

I saw the sadness of his look at the corner of my eye. “was that so? I cooked caldereta. Isn’t that your favorite?”

I just continued to ignore him. “You just eat, if you want. I’ll go to sleep.” Tangina mo, Ivan. You idiot.

I thought for a few more days about what I would do in front of my husband and I decided to work out our relationship. But one night some men grabbed me and made fun of me because I couldn’t even lie down. There were too many of them.

They sat me in a chair. They tied me up and covered my eyes. I ran away and shouted a few times but they still wouldn’t let me go. They were animals, as soon as I get away I will kill them one by one. I had planned to ask Rigella on a date but everyone was upset when they abducted me.

“How were you, bro?”

My earlier bow was replaced. I quickly raised my head because of the very familiar voice I heard. No … I can’t be wrong.

I heard his footsteps which meant he was approaching me. I swallowed and inhaled. Why was he only now back?

‘take off your blindfold Ivan.” I heard his promise.

Some time later, someone even removed my blindfold. I opened my eyes and blinked because I didn’t have much transparency. But my eyes widened when I saw him already.

“Seymour …” I whispered. I knew it.

He smiled and came closer to me. “You still remember me, bro.” he promised emphatically but the sarcasm was obvious there.

“When did you get back?” I will ask.

“Does that still matter? Isn’t it and you’ve already forgotten about me?” langya, why was his tone different now? ‘that’s why you got the person I love pregnant, isn’t it? Because you forgot about me.” now he was holding a gun now. I stared at him in shock. He was very different.

“Seymour, I didn’t mean to. I tried to avoid him even though I love him because you’re my friend but …”

“But what?” his voice became dangerous. I couldn’t answer because I felt nervous. He suddenly cocked the gun he was holding. “But what!” he shouted and suddenly fired the gun. I close my eyes there. Shit!

“Putangina, I trust you, Ivan!” he shouted again that he had awakened me. “I said watch him! But what did you do? You did more than watch over him! You fool! Traitor!” he approached me and kicked me hard in the face. I fell down even the chair when he did that.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“You know how much I love Rigella! Tangina, I hope I don’t make you my friend if you just stab me in the back!” he kicked me in the side so I almost writhed in pain. “Langya, I would have accepted if you only had a relationship but … Tangina! You got her pregnant, you traitor!” he kicked me again.

He knelt beside me and punched me. “You beast! I thought you weren’t like my friends back then but you’re even worse than them! You robbed me of what I should have! You robbed me of the woman I love so much!”

I was humiliated because of the beating he was doing to me. Almost every part of my body hurts as well. But I can’t fight because it’s my fault. He was right, I cheated on him. I have no worthless friends.

“You didn’t even think about how I would feel! I was in America, working hard to get our company up and running and to prove something to his daddy but what did you do? You made the sacrifices I made in vain!” he punched me in the face again and even though my eyes were dimming I could see the anger on his face. He stood up while breathing heavily.

“Build that idiot!” he shouted.

Two men stood up again in the chair I was sitting in now. I just bent down and endured the pain Seymour had inflicted on me. Tangina, my idiot. My friend, I rode.

“I wouldn’t have continued my planned revenge on them because I love Rigella and I want her to marry me. But when you did this, I became even more angry with her family.” he looked at me badly. “I’m going to kill them, Ivan. They killed my daddy so I’m going to kill them too.”

I sighed but immediately frowned as well. “Huh … Don’t …” as I fainted my voice faded.

“Don’t?” he laughed with no humor. “After you betrayed me can you still order me not to kill them? Another class!”

I didn’t answer him because I was depressed again. I’m coughing up blood now. Shit, I don’t like this. I used to be beaten but it hurts more when your best friend did it to you.

“All right. I won’t move them but on one condition.” he suddenly said raising my gaze to him.

“A … What condition?” I will ask.

“You will join our organization. A mafia org.” my eyes widened. Mafia? was there that? “You will do illegal things with us. We will sell drugs, guns and other things. You will also benefit with this. But your life was always in danger.” he grinned.

“Creed and Xyleus were now my members. They want to get back at me and also for the safety of their loved ones. So you too, if you don’t want to ruin your family and Rigella’s family you have to join us. ” his grin disappeared and his face darkened. “You don’t know me anymore, Ivan. I’ve changed. So if I’m you, join us before I change my mind and maybe what else can I do with you.” he even threatened.

“Seymour, don’t do this, please …” I almost begged. I know what he means. Our lives will be even more ruined when I join them.

He grinned broadly. There was also horror that brings that smile. “You have no choice yet. Once you refuse I can – I can order my staff to blow up the heads of the people you want to protect. There were snipers around them.”

I closed my eyes sharply and sharply cursed. I know he”s not kidding because he was able to kidnap me today. And also once then he told me that his uncle was holding a mafia organization.

I can’t stand when someone in my family was ruined, especially mom and Rigella. She’s pregnant right now. I don’t want them to be ruined by our future child. It’s okay if I’m the only one who gets hurt but … damn.

I woke up and looked at Seymour. He still seemed very happy to see me struggling.

“All right. I agree.” for my family. I will not let them get hurt.

He immediately smiled. Seymour was not the one in front of me today if not a demon. He was no longer my friend.
