I’m Just His Wife

Many looked at us as we walked. Maybe it”s because we”re the only ones with masks and we”re still women.

My eyes first searched for a man wearing a blue mask. When I saw that he was with his members I headed in their direction with a smile on my lips.

A familiar figure looked in our direction so my hands trembled slightly but that didn’t stop me from smiling and walking.

“Uno.” I coldly promise while smiling. By the way, the mask I’m wearing has a voice changer so he can’t, I mean, they can recognize me. He was with him.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Uno turned to me and raised his lip. “Code name?” he asked. I wonder why he always wears a mask.

I smiled. “Queen.”

Those sitting immediately stood up and immediately bowed to me. Funny because even Ivan and Uno bow to me. While the beautiful caterpillar frowned and watched them bow to me.

“Miss Steinfields …” Uno said authoritatively in a loud voice so everyone here in the hall fell silent and looked in our direction.

I walked upstairs and approached Lara. I looked at him from head to toe and grinned. I can’t wait to do what I do with her.

“Seems like, you don’t know the word” respect “, Miss.” I said so he raised an eyebrow at me.

“Who were you?” he kept asking so one of the Aces immediately aimed his gun at him.

Lara sighed with fear in the eyes that looked at Ivan as if he didn’t care about him and just remained bent over.

“I’m Andrea Steinfields, dear …” I said softly while smiling.

“So, you’re that bitch who stole our company’s designs?” he asked boldly so I immediately lost my grin.

I folded my arms and shrugged. This one still doesn’t really change. His tongue was still sharp. Delicious cut.

“Excuse me but, SCC’s designs were all original. Maybe, you were the one who’s stealing other’s design, Ms. Santillan.” said Darlyn so I barely looked at her.

“What the. How did you know my name?” Lara asked.

“You’re an actress, right? A famous one. were you still really surprised that I know you?” Darlyn retorted so I mocked her.

I faced Lara again. “You don’t know me, Lara. So if I’m you, shut your mouth if you don’t want me to blow your head off now.” my voice was cold.

Ivan’s POV

I sent Lara first to the other hall where the real Christmas Party was to accompany the children. I just kept an eye on Ice and another with my secretaries, it looks like Miss Steinfields’ love for Lara was bad.

“Welcome here in the Philippines, Miss Steinfields.” said Uno as we sat at the same table with Andrea Steinfields and another woman with him.

“Oh, thank you, Uno. This isn’t the first time I’ve been here in the Philippines. As you can see, I can speak Tagalog.” smiling Miss Steinfields harvested and drank wine.

I heard Creed’s restrained laughter next to me so I looked at him. “Shut your mouth, five.” I simply told him.

“Chill, dos. Miss Steinfields was just amazing because she can answer Uno with a rebuke.” he laughs whispering to me.

I just shook my head and looked at Miss Steinfields. She looks familiar. Have we met before? Even if she wears a mask, why do I feel like … I know her?

‘the girl in the red dress looks familiar …” Xyleus whispered so I looked at him who was just next to me.

“You mean, the one with Miss Steinfields?” I asked and sipped whiskey.

He nodded. “Yup. Do you see her familiar too, dos?”

“Who? Miss Steinfields?”

“Nah, the girl in red dress …” he shook his head while staring at the woman in red.

I looked there at the woman and she was just listening to what Miss Steinfields and Uno were talking about.

“She’s not familiar to me, three.” I’m telling the truth.

He nodded as he frowned. This was the first time I have seen Xyleus curious about something or someone. This animal does not care about the world e.

“Do you want us to talk?” the woman turned to Xyleus and smiled at him.

I saw Xyleus’s stiffness in his seat. Her eyes widened as her forehead sweated.

“Da … Darlyn …” he said in disbelief.

Andrea’s POV

“Yes … Darlyn …”

I immediately drifted my gaze at Xyleus when he uttered Darlyn’s name. I secretly smiled when I saw the shock on his face. He really knew Darlyn very well. No doubt, my friend’s simple smile made her know right away that it was Darlyn.

Darlyn removed her mask and tall as she smiled. We didn’t talk about him showing his face but he didn’t, he was already tested so he had no choice. Besides, it won’t ruin my plans.

“Good evening, gentlemen. Darlyn Louise Alcantara was the name. Andrea Steinfields’ right hand.” He said and looked at Xyleus without emotion staring at him.

I shifted my gaze to Ivan and he was even able to continue eating and not care about what was happening. I smiled to myself. He still hasn’t really changed.

He suddenly looked at me that’s why our eyes were locked with each other. I have a hunch that he already see me familiar but he just don’t mind it too much. Maybe he was just ignoring it.

Those emotionless, gray eyes. That still hasn’t changed. For a moment I saw emotion in his eyes but you immediately disappeared and he avoided looking at me. My lips twitched and I changed my gaze at Uno.

His lips parted as he looked at Darlyn, like he knows her and he was surprised at Darlyn’s introduction to herself. I bet, he knew Darlyn. But … Who was really behind Uno’s mask? Why doesn’t he want to show his face? Well, I don’t care anymore because I already have a hint of who he was.

My table companions were silent so I toyed with my wine glass filled with wine. It hasn’t diminished yet because I can smell the smell of almonds from it. Potassium cyanide. They really plan to poison me, huh? What did they think of me? That I’m stupid? Tanga? That I wouldn’t notice the poison they mixed into the wine?

I looked at Uno and he stared at my wine glass. I won’t drink this, moron. I am not a fool to drink the poisonous drink you gave me.
