I’m Just His Wife

I swallowed and turned to him. “Ahh, because what … ah, nothing …” I smiled sheepishly and changed my gaze.

His forehead creased. “Something wrong?” He asked. He then turned off the vacuum and wiped the sweat off his forehead and neck with his palm.

I swallowed and averted my gaze. Am I too much in love with him to be like this? I mean, no matter what he does my heart was still beating fast. The wall I made really melted so that I wouldn’t be affected by it. I pouted my lips in that thought.

“Hey, Rigella.”

I turned my attention to him. “Huh? What’s that?”

“I’m asking you. were you hungry? Your mind was flying again. Tsk …” he said frowning. He’s so cute! I want to pinch his cheeks and his nose. Ugh! Pregnancy hormones!

I went home. “Uhm, yes. I’m actually craving for donuts but … I also can’t go out to buy so-”

He sighed. “was that all? Do you want anything else?” He asked without looking at me and took his phone out of the pocket of his shorts.

He dialed something in his phone then stuck it to his ear. “Hello, Creed? I called you to buy something for me … Damn you, I don’t need alcohol … Buy two boxes of donuts for me and …” he turned to me and raised an eyebrow. “What else do you want to eat?” He asked.

I was swallowed. “Uhm, pizza. The Hawaiian. Just a little cheese from lots of pineapples …” I replied.

“And two boxes of Hawaiian pizza too, just a little cheese and lots of pineapples … Of course not! Why didn’t you fix it! .. Tss! Buy some beer too and roasted chicken. You’re stressing the hell out of me ! .. I’ll be back there but not now. I’m too busy … Alright, bring it here ASAP. My wife was hungry … Tss! Just drop this call and shut up! ” Annoyed, Ivan put his phone in his pocket.

I didn’t understand anything he said because maybe it was about business. I know a little about business but I still can’t cope up with professionals.

I leaned back on the sofa and closed my eyes. I have to check up on my OB now but because I can’t get out, maybe next time when I have a chance to get out.

I massaged my temple and yawned. I stood up and said goodbye to Ivan. “I’ll just go upstairs. I’ll just go to Ice’s room …”

He clung tightly and was swayed by his senses. He looked up and nodded at me so I walked away.

The feeling was just … weird. It’s like we’re just an ordinary couple in this situation. I can’t deny that … I have a glint of joy that I feel and damn, it feels so good …

Ivan’s POV

After I took my bath, I decided to go out of our house to feel some fresh air. I sat on a bench in the garden and leaned there. This was where I will wait for Creed because we have something important to talk about.

I sighed then crossed my arms. I hate waiting but I know Creed’s on the verge of traffic.

My forehead creased when I saw a familiar car near the gate. What the hell! The damn Alcantara was here!

I stood up and immediately walked towards the gate. My blood boiled immediately when I realized it was really him. I clenched my fist and opened the gate. I know the reason why he’s fucking here. It’s because of my wife.

I glared at him even if his car was heavily tinted. He get out of his car and throw daggers of stares at me. Did he think I’m scared at him? Hell no! He was not yet at my fingertips.

“Where’s Rigella, De Leon?” He asked angrily.

I smirked at him. “She’s inside our house, Alcantara. Use your brain.”

He get something on his pocket and pointed it at me. A gun.

I didn’t show any glint of fear in my face. He’s a damn sick moron. If he thought he could scare me with his gun, he was mistaken.

‘try me, De Leon. And I’ll make sure you scatter your worthless brain on the cement …” he said seriously.

I just smirked at him but my face darkened when I saw a symbol on his gun. I knew it!

“Back off, Alcantara. You can’t get Rigella from me. Try to pull out the gun’s trigger and kill me. Let’s just see if you didn’t fall in jail …” I said seriously.

He glared at me and put back his gun on his pocket. Damn, such a coward.

“Why don’t you just let Rigella alone? Aren’t you the one who wants to separate because you love that actress so much? What happened, De Leon? Has the world turned upside down?” He said sarcastically.

I answered him nothing and turned my back on him. I saw Creed at my front, pointing a gun at Alcantara. I looked at him like saying, “put your gun down” and he did it.

“Stay away from Rigella, Alcantara. She’s mine and I don’t share. What’s mine was only mine.” I emphasized before walking away.

Rigella’s POV

I’m now eating a piece of pizza with Ice here in the dining area. Ivan’s busy talking and drinking with a man he called “Creed” and I think they have a very serious talk so I decided not to disturb them.

I think, it’s about business. All I know was that Ivan takes the business very seriously because he manages a corporation together with one of my family’s companies. He really was a busy person.

And Ice on the other hand, was still not talking to his dad. Maybe my son was still upset because his daddy had another relationship other than me. And … maybe my son was traumatized because Lara made him a pest. I couldn’t help but bleed when I remembered what he had done to my son.

After we ate I put the leftovers in the refrigerator. Ice and I decided to just sleep in her room. But, while we’re walking towards the stairs, I felt someone staring at me. I looked in the direction where I felt someone staring at me and to my surprise.

Ivan was staring at me. And it felt so weird.

Lara’s POV

I stared at the car window to relax myself. I just finished my photoshoot and a taping for my new tele-drama and I”m freaking tired. Fortunately, the make-up carries my eye bags and the tiredness on my face.

Who wouldn’t be stressed? I’m too busy with my career, I have a family problem, and my boyfriend and I broke up. Sometimes, I wish that I could just be a simple person. Living happily without thinking any problem. But no, I can’t be just like that. I’m the family’s bread winner and I can’t do anything but to work hard for my family.

And Ivan, I can’t believe he could be like that. I just draw strength from him but he made me feel nonsense. It started when that bitch Rigella left their house after she found out about our plan. He changed.

The changes that I notice in him was, he’s always spaced out when I’m with him. Previously, when we were together, he always makes me feel that he”s around and that he could make me feel loved. But days passed and he became weirder and weirder. He also once called me “Rigella” when I cooked breakfast for him. I am hurt that time but I didn’t show it to him.

And the weirdest thing was, he rejects me when I want to make love with him. Like, what the hell. He used to insist that we do that.

I broke up with him, yes. And it’s so funny that he didn’t chase me. Whenever I break up with him before, he always chases me and says that he loves me and after that, we’re back together again. That’s all I’m waiting for him to do now but … nothing.

I massage my temple as I clearly remembered what happened.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Flashback

After Rigella left, his best friend left the house too. I smiled because of what I heard. She finally filed an annulment. What a great announcement. Ivan will be rightfully mine soon.
