I’m Just His Wife

I bowed and nodded slowly. “Yes, even if I’m the one who gets hurt and hurt, just don’t let him. I love him like that, Roxy. So please, let me out, please… best friend?”

She closed her eyes sharply and sighed. ‘the luck of that shamelessness was yours. You love him so much to the point that you can sacrifice yourself for him. Just in case, he never realized that. Tsk! Oh he, go ahead. Get out of here, as if I can stop you there. Just call me right away when something happens, huh? Be careful. ” She said worriedly so I smiled at her.

“Of course, Roxanne. All right, I’ll be out. You know that Ivan, he’s very impatient. Thanks for the concern, best friend. I love you.” I smiled and said that she would smile too.

“I love you too, best friend. Remember?”

I smiled at her one last time and walked towards the door. I could only hear loud knocking, not like before.

I was actually nervous because I knew when I opened the door he would hurt me again. But that’s okay, even if I’m the one hurt, just don’t let him.

Shaking my hand touched the door knob. I closed my eyes tightly as I slowly turned it and opened it.

I opened my eyes and saw the serious Ivan looking at me seriously as he gasped for breath and messed up his hair. I could also smell the smell of wine wafting into his perfume.

Trembling crept into my chest as I saw the anger in his eyes. I was surprised when he stretched out my arm and I winced because his grip was so tight.

“Let’s go home…” he said and pushed me away from Roxanne’s unit.

Rigella’s POV

Ivan burst into his car here in the parking lot so I couldn’t do anything but sigh and get into the front seat.

When I entered I was a little surprised because he had not shouted or hurt me so I just focused my attention on the window. Maybe later when I face him, he will slap me right away. I don’t want to, I’m fed up with him hurting me.

“Rigella.” He said in a cold voice so I was immediately terrified.

I slowly faced him and saw that he was just leaning back in the seat and closed his eyes as his arm rested on the steering wheel.

“A … What’s a?” I almost whispered the question.

He looked up and frowned when he looked at me. “Why didn’t you pick up Ice earlier?” He asked me a serious question.

I swallowed and bowed before answering. “Ah … w-what, we were late at R-Roxanne’s mall earlier …”

He sighed violently and hit the steering wheel so I bowed even more.

“Would you really prioritize shopping over your son ?! Damn! It’s a good thing I got home early earlier! What if something happened to him huh ?!”

I sighed and tears rolled down my cheeks. He was right, I should have gone home sooner than I cried. I also can’t forgive myself when something bad happens to my child.

“So … S-Sorry, it won’t happen again-”

He cut off what I was going to say. “It really won’t happen again! From now on, you’re just at home! Take care of Ice and do your job there!” He was breathing heavily so he was obviously angry.

I haven’t answered him yet. All I could do was crying. It’s my fault, I thought more of myself than my son. What if he perished? What if he disappeared? I just think it’s like my heart was rash with pain.

We were still silent and I could only hear her sobs and her deep breathing. He still didn’t drive the car for no apparent reason.

“Your Mom and Dad’s anniversary was tomorrow. They’ve returned to the Philippines. They were expecting us to go to their party.” He said so I stopped crying and sobbing.From NôvelDrama.Org.

I suddenly felt happy because of what he announced. ‘t-Really?”

He turned to me and was obviously bored immediately. ‘tsk. Yes! I can just say eh. My parents will also attend tomorrow. So you, fix your actions tomorrow. All they know was that we were happy together.”

I was stunned by what he said. Yes, he was right, our parents knew we were happy and the marriage was strong but … they were wrong. Really wrong…

After nodding, I just nodded. He just ignored me and turned on the car’s engine and then drove off.

The whole trip my attention was just on the window. I am happy because my parents have returned but at the same time I am also sad because I know they will just go on vacation here in the Philippines and they will return to the States immediately.

When we got home he got out of the car first and entered our house. He didn’t even bother to open the door for me. I was just blown into the air and then got out of the car. As I entered the house I looked at my wrist watch and realized that it was nine o’clock in the evening.

When I entered the house the lights were off except for the lampshades. I went up the stairs and went to my son’s room first. When I entered his room I breathed a sigh of relief because I saw him sleeping peacefully on his bed.

I smiled miserably and approached him then sat on the edge of the bed. I stroked her hair then kissed her on the forehead.

“Good night, son. Sweet dreams …” I whispered to her before I left the room.

I walked to the other room, Ivan and I’s room. But when I turned the door knob I found it locked. I just sighed. It looks like I’m going to sleep in the guest room again now.

I went into the guest room and immediately went to bed.

Today was a tiring day and full of pain. I need to rest.

Smiling, I arranged my son’s clothes and hair while Ivan was wearing his suit and neck tie. I was wearing a white off shoulder dress that Ivan gave me earlier. This was what I’m going to wear now. I also put on make-up earlier so we could leave right away. I also covered my arm with concealer because the bruise was still obvious there.

My son’s attention was focused on the toy robot so it’s a bit difficult for me to fix him. When I finished dressing him and fixing him, Ivan also finished correctly so he was ready to leave. We were going to my parents “mansion, my old house and the house I grew up in.

Before we left the house I grabbed his arm so he cut my forehead. I sneezed before speaking.

“So … thank you for the dress …” I promised with a smile.

He scolded me. “It’s not really from me. It’s from Lara. Thank you and my girlfriend was kind and she even gave you a dress.” He said and removed my hand from his arm and smilingly lifted Ice.

I felt my tears well up but I stopped them from dripping. This dress came from Lara. I have never met him in person, not literally but I have never talked to him. As far as I know he was a famous actor.

We got in the car. Ice and I sat in the backseat because children were not allowed in the front seat.

When we arrived at the mansion it was going to be night. Ivan created Ice who looked amazed at the house. Colorful LED lights greeted us before we entered the house.

My eyes immediately searched for Mom and Dad and I saw that Mom was talking to her friends. We approached Mom and her eyes widened when she saw us.

“Rigella, my daughter!” He said happily and kissed me on the cheek before hugging me.
