I’m Just His Wife

“Where’s the comfort room, here?” Darlyn suddenly asked out of nowhere so I barely looked at her.

“Let me accompany you to the comfort room, Ms. Darlyn.” the man next to Ivan stood up. I think, it’s his friend, Creed.

Darlyn smiled. “No need, sweetheart. Just show me where CR was.” said Darlyn and winked.

A smile drew to my lips when I saw Xyleus’s evil look on Creed. Did I just smell … jealousy?

I know something between Xyleus and Darlyn but I won’t tell it for now. I won’t tell Darlyn either. I’ll let him solve it then.

Creed swallowed and nodded. “It’s near the exit. Just go straight then go to your right after. You’ll see the CR there.” Creed sat down again and drank the wine. were you Darlyn’s wink?

“Oh, thank you sweetheart. I owe you.” Darlyn smiled and gave a flying kiss so I suppressed my laughter. She’s obviously making fun of Creed.

Darlyn stood up so I immediately looked at the Aces who were just standing behind me.

“Join Darlyn in CR, Sapphire.” I whispered but enough for them to hear.

“Okay, madam.” one of the Aces bowed so I took my eyes off them. I saw Darlyn walk away from our table.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I’ll just go at the comfort room.” Xyleus suddenly said goodbye so I was shaken. He will follow Darlyn.

“Go on, three.” said Uno.

Xyleus stood up and bowed to Uno before walking away. There were only five of us here at the table and I don’t know that next to Uno. Maybe he has a different race because he was thin.

“Why don’t you drink your alcohol, Queen?”

I turned to Ivan when he suddenly asked. He puts ice cubes in his wine glass while looking at me.

I smiled. “Sorry but, I don’t drink alcohols with poison.” I didn’t have a sarcastic answer that made Uno cough.

Ivan laughed so I smiled. He seems to know what Uno did.

“Next time, Uno, fix what you’re doing. You’ll be easily broken.” he said laughing and immediately gulped the wine that was in his glass.

“Shut up, two.” his cold and baritone voice made me almost shiver.

Ivan stopped laughing and looked at Uno without emotion. “You don’t just command me like that, Uno.” he said seriously.

I sighed and smiled. I enjoy watching them. What if, I made a way for the two of them to kill each other? Maybe that’s nice to watch. Brothers? Killing each other? Fun to watch.

“Remember this, Dos. I’m still higher than you so I have the rights to command you whenever I want to.” Uno drank some wine and ate salad again.

“Chill, guys. Remember, we’re not the only ones at this table.” Creed smiled awkwardly and gave me an apologetic look.

‘the members of your organization don’t seem to get along, Uno. I’m disappointed.” I shook my answer.

“It’s not like that, Queen. They just don’t really get along sometimes. And my apologies too. Uno just really likes tripping. He wants to test your capabilities so he poisoned your wine.” Creed explained and smiled genuinely after.

‘tripping, huh?” there’s a hint of sarcasm in my voice. “Now you know that won’t work for me. I knew right away that you were going to give me poison.” I said and took another glass and put ice cubes in there.

“Yeah. It’s just rare for a girl like you to find it out.” said Ivan so I looked at him while putting red wine in my glass.

‘thanks for the compliment, Dos.” I fell asleep to myself the delight in my voice. Thanks to the voice changer attached to the mask and that didn’t go unnoticed.

“You’re welcome, Queen.” did I hear it right? She seems to be emphasizing the pronunciation of the word “queen”.

“Uhm, can we talk about business? How’s the transaction with Mr. Stewart?” I said and sliced ?? a small portion of the steak that had previously been served. I didn’t notice anything in the food so I’m confident that it’s not poisonous.

I just notice, why was Darlyn so long in the bathroom? Did something happen to him? Nah-ah, I highly doubt that. He could protect himself. Besides, he was with Sapphire.

As Uno answered my question I couldn’t help but stare at him. He has the same skin complexion as him. But that seems impossible. He didn’t know what I was doing. Maybe, he knew very little.

And when his lips twitched, I just let out a deep sigh. Little by little, I can convince him that he was the one in front of me now. That he was the person behind the blue mask. That he was the Dark Alpha’s leader. That he was Uno.

Xyleus’ POV

I can’t be wrong, she’s the woman in red. That smile that I haven’t seen in five years. Those blue eyes that caught my attention then.

He took off his red mask and pity my lip. For five long years, her facial features did not change. She was still the Darlyn I know.

When he said goodbye to the bathroom, I waited for a while before saying goodbye to the bathroom. We need to talk. He can’t just come back after five years of leaving me with our son.

I was about to enter the women’s comfort room when one of their female bodyguards stopped me earlier. I took a deep breath before he shot me a serious look. I badly want to have a talk with Darlyn!

“I’m sorry, Mr. Santiago but, Ms. Alcantara doesn’t want to talk to you.” he said calmly in a cold voice.

“We need to talk so If I were you, don’t block my way. Maybe that’s what I can do if you don’t let me pass.” no emotion I say.

“I’m sorry, Sir. I’m just following orders.” he said and cocked the gun he was holding.

I took another deep breath and was about to enter when he pointed a gun at me. I tried to re -enter but I heard a gunshot. I briefly felt pain in my shoulder. I looked at it and was shocked to see that it had been hit by a bullet.

“Damn!” I cussed.

“Hey, hey. What’s with the gunshot I’ve heard?”

We looked at each other when the woman spoke. It’s Darlyn, smiling evilly while wiping her wet hands using a clean handkerchief.

“She’s trying to talk to you, Madam.” said the bodyguard and bowed to Darlyn. Fuck! I never imagined that she will be a part of Flaming Cross!

Darlyn turned to me and smiled. “Let him, Sapphire. It’s been a long time since our last talk. Maybe, it’s time for us to catch things up.” his face lost emotion and he turned to the woman he called “Sapphire”. “Leave us for a while. I think, we will have one serious talk here.” he commanded and turned to me again.

His fellow bodyguard nodded and left us quickly.

“What else were we going to talk about, Xyleus?” he asked irritably and finally left the CR. He looked at me boldly so I closed my eyes tightly. Every time she reacts like that, I always see her … cute. Damn it! Shit, shit, shit!

“Where’s my daughter?” I have no doubt the question.
