I’m Just His Wife

“Please, Rigella. I need him. I’m pregnant with his child. The father needs our future child so please … just give him to me …”

I did not immediately respond to what he said. Depressed my shoulder dropped and I bowed. Lara also let go of my two hands so I covered them with my face which was already blurred with tears.

Lara … she’s pregnant with my husband’s child. It’s Ivan’s child.

It hurts. Very painful. I lost three loved ones and now … my husband’s infidelity to me resulted?

Why … why do I have to go through all this? were the ones I lost still missing?

I removed my hand from covering my face and Lara was still sobbing as she knelt down. Someone else was already curious and standing near us.

“She’s an actress, right? Lara Santillan?”

“OMG! Why was he crying? was it because of that girl?”

“She’s pathetic. She’s on her knees oh.”

I grabbed Lara’s two shoulders and forced her to her feet.

“What were you doing, Lara? Stand up!” Despite crying I was still able to make him shout.

But he held my hands and he did not stand up. “No! Please, Rigella. Give him to me. Akin nalang siya, please. I won’t stand up here until you give him to me … I already told him about my pregnancy but he just told me to abort our baby “Please … I know you were the only one who can allow him to hold me responsible. Please, give him to me …”

I closed my eyes emphatically. How can I suppose to give him my husband just like that? I can not do it. I could have done it before, but now I can’t. Too painful.

And, what? He already told Ivan about her pregnancy? Then, why did Ivan didn’t tell me about this?

I was about to speak when someone grabbed my arm and made me stand up from my seat.

“Ivan …” I whispered but he ignored me and gave Lara a bad look.

“I told you to stay away from her, Lara!” He shouted and the whole area became silent.

Lara was about to speak when Ivan immediately pull me out of the place.

I smiled bitterly and wiped my tears out. He came.

Rigella’s POV

My heart was so exhausted that I can’t breathe properly anymore. Tight in the chest and painful. And I think, what happened a while ago just pushed my limits. The limits of the pain that I supposed to feel.

I don’t know why they call it a heartbreak because … it feels like every part of my body was broken too. I’m damn tired and pained.

Ivan’s just silently driving the car while I’m just staring at the car window the whole time. I can even hear the sound of the air-con because of the silence. Well, I presume that he’s really angry because of what happened a while ago.

This was what I want too, anyway. The silence. I want to think clearly. I want to rest my heart from pain just for a while and … I also don’t want to talk to him.

Lara told him about their son. But … he wanted to abort the child? Why was he like that? We have lost a child and now he wants to lose his and Lara’s child. Doesn’t she know how painful it was to lose a child?

I pity the child. He was also affected by the trouble of our elders today. His or her father also don’t want to accept him or her because of me.

I, I am the cause of it all. But, can I be selfish for once? Just this time? Can Ivan be with me first even now? Because … I badly need him. I have nothing to lean on right now except my friends. Only him.

But because, I’m thinking about the boy. He needs a father. He can’t grow up without even watching his father.

And Ice, he also needs a Dad. He was still young.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I sighed in confusion. This situation was the worst situation that I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. I was stuck, and I knew even Ivan was already confused as to what he would choose and the decision he would make.

“What did Lara tell you?”

I turned to him when he suddenly asked reason to break the silence. He glanced at me for a moment and immediately turned his gaze back to the road.

I bit my lower lip. “Uhh, she just apologized for the loss of our baby …” I replied and averted my eyes.

Yes, I did not complete the true answer because … I wanted him to tell me the truth himself.

I could see out of the corner of my eye that he seemed to be breathing loosely but there was still doubt that could be seen on his face.

“was that all? Didn’t he tell you anything else?” I could feel the nervousness in her voice but I didn’t notice that I felt that.

I smirked bitterly. “She begged, Ivan. She wants to give you forever with her that’s why … that’s the scene you came across with us earlier …”

I noticed his forehead was slightly furrowed but he also immediately nodded.

“She didn’t tell you anything other than that?” He asked further.

I smiled wryly and shook my head. “Nothing. Why? Should I hear anything more from him?” I asked curiously and I saw her swallow.

“Uhh, no. I’m just worried. Maybe she said something else to you. You know her, she’s a liar.” He answered so I just nodded at him.

Why does he seem to want me to know the truth?

And darn, I don’t know what to do now. I am confused about what was true and what was false.

I closed my eyes sharply and sighed. I’m damn confused right now.

Someone’s POV

“What the hell ?! What happened ?!” I angrily shouted at one of my staff.

It just bent down and there was a trace of fear on his face. Curse this bastard to hell!

“Pa … Patawad po-” I didn’t let him finish his words and I shot him to death using my gun.

I shuddered throwing the gun at the wall. Those were worthless!

‘the next time you slap me again, you’ll be like that worthless whore! Do you understand ?!” I shouted and pointed at the man who was already bathed in blood because of my repeated shots at him.
