I’m Just His Wife

He tries to avert his gaze from me and his breathing was heavy. She must be nervous because not a single wrong word from her, I will not hesitate to hurt her even if she was still a woman. I might forget I loved him then.

“Who gave you the right to hurt children?” I can clearly hear my stone cold voice. Every utterance of those words will be heard.

He immediately turned to me. “He’s interfering with my belongings, Ivan! Lance was so naughty! Then Ice was interfering. You know, I’m stressed at work and then they’ll add more. You can’t blame me!” the annoyance was obvious on his face but the nervousness was more prevalent there.

I could no longer restrain myself and I slapped him. Not once in my life, have I been able to physically hurt children, then he would just hurt them? Lance was even his son!

‘that’s the only reason you have, Lara? Well, that damn reason of yours was fucking nonsense! If you’re stressed at your job, don’t bring it here at home and don’t pile it on the kids! For fuck sake! Lance was your son! How dare you shout and hurt him ?! ” my eyebrows almost meet in anger.

He was stunned by what I said. I know, he only becomes kind to his son when he knows I see them. But when I turned my back, she didn’t care if her son cried or not. That’s what the housemates tell me every time I ask them why Lance was crying or if I can see anything wrong with him.

I closed my eyes tightly and swallowed my senses. As much as I want to kick her out of this house, I can’t. Especially and I miss her son. What will happen if Lance was out of my sight? Lara will surely hurt him.

“I … I’m sorry …” I heard Lara say so I woke up immediately.

Tears were pooled in her eyes and I see remorse on her face. I also noticed her face. She was pale. That’s what she gets because of her continued acting. If she only pursued her dream of being a painter, she would not have been stressed like this.

“How many times have I heard your apology, Lara? Once? Two? Three? I think not! It’s over! But have you ever apologized to your son? You’re one of a hell irresponsible mother! Just please, change yourself! Your attitude! Even for your child! ” fuck it! I thought everything was smooth once my feet touched the floor of this house. But hell! This was exactly what I got!

“I’m … I’m really sorry, Ivan. I promise, I won’t commit the same mistake again. Just please, forgive me …” she tried to touch me but I immediately walked away.

“Don’t say your fucking sorry to me, Lara. You apologize to Lance.” calmly but seriously I promise.

He became silent and his shoulders dropped. She sighed and slowly sat on the bed on her back and she bowed slightly.

I sighed before speaking. ‘the company has a Christmas Party tonight at 8 pm at a hotel. You will come with me. You need to prepare. Take care of the children as well …”

He didn’t say a word but I saw him nod. It”s just sad because the woman I used to love has changed. was it because of me? If so, I”m really a big idiot. I hurt two women because of my nonsense.

“Do I really change a lot … Ivan?” he asked and looked up at me.

I was speechless and barely nodded. I want to be honest with her but …

“I’ve changed … like the love you feel for me …” she grinned bitterly and her tears helped again.

I took a deep breath and approached him appropriately. “Lara-” I said but he stopped me as I approached him.

“I hope … I hope we didn’t just plan for you to let me live here in your house so … so that you don’t fall for her and … and I’m still the one you love …” he sobbed.

“Lara, you know it’s-”

‘tell me, Ivan. I’m really your first love, aren’t I?” he smiled slightly and I saw hope on his face.

Bowed down and cast spells in succession. I looked up at him and I was about to speak when he stopped me and he spoke again.

“Please say yes, Ivan … Please …” he forced a smile even though his lips were already trembling.

“I would be lying if I said yes, Lara …” I averted my eyes.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw the sadness on his face. “So … It’s her?”

I nodded and turned to him. I smiled sparingly. “It’s her. From the very beginning, it’s her.”

“Can’t I just do it again?” he asked sadly.

My heart pounded slightly and I smiled sadly. “I love her, Lara. Only her …”

Andrea’s POV

“What the heck? What was this?” I asked annoyed when Darlyn put mascara on me. The mask that covered my whole face.

We were already riding in the black limousine that I actually owned. There were also those who followed in our cars where my bodyguards were riding, which was part of the mafia that I manage.

I saw Darlyn’s applause. “Perfect! I can’t meet you there!” he laughs at the promise.

“Wait, I didn’t see that the theme of the party was masquerade.” I took off the mask and looked at it. It’s black like my black dress but the neckline was asymmetrical. I was also wearing black stilettos heels and my pouch was also black. I’m just going to go all black today.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Even Darlyn wore a red mask as she wore a tube dress that was very close to her body. Who would have thought she had a child? She was still sexy to this day.

‘this was not the right time to show your real identity in public, Andrea. So here, we need to wear masks.” he smirked as he stared at his mask glowing with the amount of glitters.

“What’s that? Just like a fool? We’re the only ones wearing masks there?” I said and grinned.

He hit me with his pouch so I immediately looked at him.

“You were! You’re really infected with my map!” he said laughing.

I also laughed and struggled with him. “Of course, what! We can always be together! Our faces were almost interchangeable!”

“Ewww. I’m even better than you! Hahaha, charot! I guess I’m even better friend than Roxy eh?” he smiled at the promise.

“I won’t trade Roxy for you, what!”

“Ouch, ha! You hurt feelings, Andrea!”

I couldn’t answer and instead we both laughed at our antics. Never mind, the driver can’t hear us because it’s sound proof inside the limo. But once my staff was in front of me, I have to remain expressionless. One of the things Ate taught me was not to show any emotion to anyone except of course to my close friends because opponents can use my emotions against me.

Well, it works because my life in Mafia World went well.

The small window that connects the driver’s seat opened and here in our seat with Darlyn so we immediately looked at each other and arranged a seat. I folded my arms and so did he.

“We’re here, Madam.” the driver said and immediately closed the young man.

I immediately put on my mask and so did Darlyn.

I’m excited to see him. I’m excited to see my ex-husband’s face after five long years.
