I’m Just His Wife

I stared at his face. He was really very handsome and there was nothing to blame on his face. When I first saw his face I immediately became interested in him. Her face was gentle and really captivates the hearts of women.

“When … we got married? Even though I know you’re just being forced, I’m still happy. Because, that’s my dream. To marry you. To build a family with you …” I couldn’t continue what I was going to say because I’m sobbing too much. I hugged him and tried to speak. “And now it’s fulfilled, I’m happy … thank you because even against your will you accepted me and Ice into your life. Thank you for marrying me even though you love someone else. Thank you for loving our son. Even you don’t love me, it’s okay with me that you love our son … “I parted from him and touched both of his cheeks.

He just stared at me with a frown and wide eyes. I also noticed the trembling of her lips.

I smiled at him again. “I know that Lara was your pleasure. I’m sorry, because I ruined your relationship before. I’m sorry, because you can’t marry her anymore because of me. I’m sorry, because I can’t let you go during our seven years of marriage even if it’s repeated you’re making me feel like you can’t love me. And I’m sorry, because I love you so much to the point that I’m hurting you … ”

I can only imagine the hardships that Ivan went through before, I was weakening. Imagine, he tried to commit suicide! I could not forgive myself in case his planned suicide went ahead.

After I said that his face was serious and I could no longer read the expression in his eyes.

I just realized, what if, I hadn’t been aggressive before? Will he be happy with Lara? But I also thought that if that had not happened, my son would not be with me.

“A … Annulment? You want an annulment?” He whispered.

I closed my eyes sharply and nodded slowly.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“It’s the best thing to do … Even if it hurts, I’ll do it. Just to make you happy …” I looked up and bowed.

It hurts so much, it hurts even more than I expected. But what can I do? This was what it deserves. I want to make things right, I want to make him happy.

I was so bitten on my lower lip and I let my tears flow. I thought, I won’t be hurt and cry every day if I leave him, right?

I was startled when he touched both of my shoulders. I looked up at him and my lips parted when I saw his serious face.

“were you trying to seduce me right away?” He asked softly but firmly.

I swallowed and averted my gaze. I was speechless because I did not know what to say to him. I was actually scared of my decision because I might not be able to cope and I also didn’t want to hurt my child.

I felt him touch my chin with one of his hands and present my face to his. Even if I tried to keep my eyes away from his eyes, I couldn’t. I was shocked when I saw the mixed emotion in his eyes. Anger, disappointment, sadness and … pain.

“You didn’t even ask me if I agreed with your decision …” I held on tightly to the bed sheet because of the coldness of his voice.

I closed my eyes tightly and I woke up as well. “No … Isn’t this what you want? You want us to get separated so that you and Lara can get married …” Even though that truth was painful, I still insisted on what you said.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes firmly. He also tightened his grip on both my shoulders but I was not hurt.

When he opened his eyes, it was wide open. I was devastated to see the pain and resistance in his eyes.

“Didn’t you think that … I can change my mind, Rigella?”

My eyes widened and I was stunned. What does he mean? I don’t understand him …

I stared at him confused and he just mocked me. His smile was a mixture of annoyance and bitterness.

I stiffened in my seat as he brought his face close to mine. He was staring into my eyes and his face was serious while his eyes were sad.

My lips parted and I closed my eyes. I felt him move and I woke up when I felt his breath in my ear.

“You want us to get separated, huh?” I was swallowed up by the heat of his breath in my ear and the tenderness of his voice.

“… But what if … I refuse? What will you do?”

I took a deep breath and immediately pushed him gently. He just smiled slightly and his expression was blank.

“Re … Refuse? What do you mean? You don’t want an annulment?” I was shocked by the question.

He lost his grin and shrugged. He raised an eyebrow and nodded.

I gasped as he squeezed my waist and our noses collided. Our lips will stick together in just an inch. I was devastated to see him staring at my lips.

“Your lips were dry. Let’s make it wet …” he said and my eyes widened when he pulled my nape and he just grabbed me with a kiss.

His kiss was soft and firm, accompanied by the warmth of his lips. His eyes were shut tight as I am just stunned and unable to respond to his kiss.

My throat was dry. I don’t know but my whole body feels numb.

After a few seconds he cut off his kiss on me and kissed me on the forehead. I caught my breath looking at him while he was staring at me deeply.

Shit, I didn’t do anything but I was overwhelmed. Damn, Ivan!

“No annulment will take place. Even if you file in court then I will still block it. You know me, Rigella. I always get what I want. And sadly, I want you and you’re mine. Just mine alone. ” He said emphatically.

I felt tears in my left eye and unexpectedly, everything went black.

“was she okay, doc?”

“Yes, Mr. De Leon. She just needs rest and take the medicines that I prescribed. I gotta go. Just call me when you need anything.”

“Alright. Thanks, doc.”

I woke up when I saw something transparent and I felt someone hold my hand. I slowly opened my eyes and I was swallowed up when Ivan”s face was immediately what I immediately saw. He was sitting on the bed, next to me.

I averted my eyes from him and spotted the wall clock in the room. It should have been early in the morning.

I turned to Ivan and saw him typing on his phone, he was texting. When he finished texting he turned to me and sighed.

“A … What happened?” I will ask. I feel like I’m weakening to the point that even my voice I can no longer recognize.

He took another deep breath before answering. “You fainted. You should have eaten lunch and breakfast earlier so that you wouldn’t go hungry, you got sick. The doctor said your fever was too high. It had reached 40 C too high.”

My eyes widened. I have a very high fever. But, doctor?

“Doctor?” Kunot when I asked him.

He nodded. “Yes, I called our family doctor right after you fainted.” He replied.
