I’m Just His Wife

Actually, the bodyguards just arrived and of course, I was surprised. Alas, when I went downstairs, I saw a lot of men in black. Ivan said, we need to have bodyguards here at home for safety. I kept wondering. Why? Will something bad happen to us? For me, please don’t.

“Who was he?” I said and adjusted my dress a bit loosely. It’s pretty obvious because the baby was so loose that I’m wearing it so it’s not obvious.

“I didn’t say your name, Mam. He’s also trying to get in.”

I was swayed by my senses. Hey, I still don’t feel like going out now because of the heat. Why did Ivan leave? He said he has something important to take care of and he will return immediately. But in the afternoon he was still gone and this morning he left.

“Oh, all right. I’m going out. That seems important.” I said.

“But, Mam. The boss said, we shouldn’t let you out.”

I was a little bored there. Why did he tell me that I’m not allowed to go out? By god by saint naman! Woe to you who were waiting outside!

“I’m not going to run away. I’ll just talk to the man outside …” I said calmly.

“But, Mam. You’re really not allowed to go out. I’ll talk to the boss when I let you out.”

I took a deep breath. “I’ll take care of Ivan. All right, let me out …”

The bodyguard scratched his neck. “Oh … Oh he’s fine, Mam. But wait a minute because maybe Boss will come suddenly …”

I smiled and nodded. The bodyguard came out with me. At first, the two bodyguards guarding the door blocked us but the bodyguard who was with me just whispered to them and let us out.

I was almost stunned by the amount of bodyguards guarding the outside of the house. Seriously! Our house even surpassed the Philippine military base in the number of guards!

The guards never stopped us. Of course, we managed to get through the two bodyguards at the door so we understood that we could go out.

When we got out I saw a figure of a woman turning away from our direction.

“Miss?” I approach him.

He turned to us and I was so shocked when I met him.

Shit! was he back?

Rigella’s POV

“Something wrong?”

I was shocked when Ivan spoke to me. He raised an eyebrow at me while eating. He just came home and we were having dinner.

I just shook my head and smiled sparingly. I didn’t notice that I was dumbfounded. What happened a while ago was still bugging me. Why else would he come back? When our lives were in order, then he will show up.

She left. He himself decided to leave and leave then he will return? How dare was she? He has no right. He shouldn’t come back because he knows he won’t come back.

“Did something happen while I was away?” My hair almost stood on end because of Ivan’s very serious voice.

I took a deep breath. “Nothing …” was my fat and sparing answer.

What happened earlier? I just walked out on her and told the bodyguards to send her out of this place. Near me, near us. He has no right to show up. She’s a bitch.

Ivan didn’t seem to believe me so he stopped eating and stared at me the most. I just averted my eyes and put Ice’s food on her plate. He can’t know that he came here because it might just cause trouble again.

Yes, I still want the annulment but I thought we should take it slow. So as much as possible, I don’t first open up to Ivan about the annulment.

After we ate, I put away our food and led Ice to her room. I started to wash the dishes while Ivan was still sitting in the chair at the dining table and typing on his phone.

That girl … my anger with her deepened even more because of what she told me earlier. She’s … she’s just so brave to face me. Just wow, I’m so fascinated by the density of her face.

I tightened my grip on the plate I was soaping because I remembered his sad face earlier. He looks really desperate. But, he was sorry because I had run out of patience with him so his drama partner didn’t bother me anymore.

As I washed the dishes my annoyance and anger poured out. I’m annoyed because I saw him again, maybe you can add that it’s because I’m pregnant so I have mood swings. I can’t really forget what he did to my shamelessness he was.

I was washing the dishes in a hurry and my eyes widened when a plate accidentally slipped from my hand and broke … on my foot.

I was immediately caught in the sink when I felt the pain in my foot. Someone held my waist and helped me to stand up straight. It’s Ivan.

“Something was really wrong with you, Rigella. Why don’t you tell me your problem?” He asked.

I turned to look at him behind me and saw that his eyebrows were about to meet. I took a deep breath and just shook. He shouldn’t know what happened earlier, no way in hell.

“I really don’t have a problem, Ivan. It’s your fault.” I answered annoyed and removed his arms from my waist.

But I immediately regretted it because I almost fell over. Fortunately, Ivan’s arms caught me. Jusko naman! I saw the woman I hated most of all and then the plate fell on me. Why am I unlucky now?

He built me ?? up properly and then removed all the glass from my feet and I was so shocked when he lifted me with a bridal carry. He went up the stairs and when we got to the second floor, we went in immediately and he slowly laid me down on the bed.

He took something from his black cabinet and I saw that first aid kit. I looked at the wound on one of my legs and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that it was quite small. I thought, I will be taken to the hospital again because the pain was too much but it was not necessary.

Ivan sat down and took alcohol, betadine, cotton and gauge. He took off my slippers and I frowned because my wound was hit. It’s a bit painful really.

He put alcohol on the cotton and gently wiped it off my wound. It’s a bit painful but I’m used to this because every time I get hurt before, I always use alcohol.

“Does it hurt?” He asked and looked up at me.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“A little.” I answered almost in a whisper.

He nodded. He then put betadine on the cotton ball and applied it to my wound. He does double cleaning, edi grant. For sure.

He then bandaged my wound and taped it. He stretched my leg and gently stroked it to relieve the pain.

“You should sleep. I’ll take care of the dishes on the chin.” He said so I went to bed. So, I have no choice but to sleep here in our room.

I slowly closed my eyes and prayed. Hopefully tomorrow, I won’t be able to imagine what happened before. It’s pure bullshit. That thing was worthless for me to think about. It’s just a waste of time.

Even before I fell asleep, I felt something soft touch my forehead, nose and lips.
