Chapter 15
I was swallowed. “But it’s early. It’s embarrassing …” I said.
He just stared and frowned. “Embarrassing? Tss. He’s our family doctor, it’s his job to treat us anytime. It’s his job.”
I suppressed my grin and just sniffed. Still the old Ivan, he still hasn’t faded into being rude.
“Wait for your food and medicine. I’m already buying from my staff.” Aniya.
I just nodded and stopped talking. I died earlier. I was paralyzed in my senses when I felt my head ache.
I sighed as his lips quickly touched my forehead. He just teased me afterwards but I just stared at him.
But strangely, my headache seemed to go away immediately. Hayst! What’s this?
“Better?” He was teasing me so I just ignored him.
His face was serious and I looked away.
“Seriously, I want to take you right here and right now …” My tears grew at what he said. “But you’re sick. And especially, we need to talk. Let’s talk about that fucking annulment and … let’s also talk about us.”

Rigella’s POV
“Seriously, I want to take you right here and right now … But you’re sick. And especially, we need to talk. Let’s talk about that fucking annulment … and let’s talk about us.”
I was devastated by what he said. I was just dumbfounded at the same time as the parting of my lips. ‘Let’s talk about us? When I was older, we were not in his sight.
I don’t know but I was so annoyed that I just stared at him. What were we going to talk about? I’m already preparing for the annulment and he still doesn’t want to agree. Hayst, I can’t really get him e. His mess.
He just grinned and shrugged. He was annoying. Honestly, only now have I felt such annoyance. And with him really. Ewan, I can’t even understand myself anymore.
I took a deep breath and raised an eyebrow at him. I indicated to him that I was waiting for what he would say.
She closes her eyes tightly and stares with wide eyes staring at me.
‘that … were you afraid of me, Rigella?” He asked so my eyes widened.
was he serious there? Jusko, what’s going on with Ivan? Did anyone join him for what?
I stared at him and swallowed when I realized he wasn’t joking I swallowed again.
I sneezed before speaking. “I’m not going to lie to you anymore. Of course, I’m scared of you. I think you hurt me physically and emotionally almost every day so why shouldn’t I be scared? I’m a woman, I’m a little weak …” I laughed at my voice even though I was nervous me and then I stared at him.
Under the blanket my hands were shaking. It’s scary because it’s Ivan. I feel like I’m in the hot seat right away even though he only asks one question!Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
He closed his eyes again hard and I was startled by his violent mess of his hair. After that he stared at me deeply, the type I couldn’t breathe properly.
“My g@go …” he whispered but I didn’t hear so I frowned at him. “Hm, here it was. Why … Why did you choose me over your friends? They did nothing but to make you feel happy while me … while me, I had always inflicted you pain.”
I averted my eyes at his question. Suddenly all my memories with Roxanne and Seymour flashback to me. Ivan was right, they make me happy. Almost half of my life, they have been with me so what happened between us was still painful.
When I found something to answer with him I looked at him again. He swallowed and I saw his forehead sweating while there was air conditioning.
‘the answer was simple. I can’t leave you in that situation. You’re so beaten up. I should have left you lying on the floor.”
I lied in my answer to that. At least maybe other people will do what I did. The real answer there was because I love him. That’s all, nothing else.
I don’t know if I was rolling my eyes but I saw a glint of disappointment in his face. I saw him catch his breath and lean against the headboard of the bed.
“Last question, why did you love me?” He asked so I was stunned.
Why did I love him? Isn’t it necessary to have a reason to love someone?
I bowed, wondering what to say to him. I don’t really know the reason why I loved him. All I know was, one day he will be the one my heart beats for.
“Who told you that I love you?” It just came out of my mouth that even I was surprised but I didn’t notice it.
I looked up at him and almost laughed when I saw his shocked expression. Just now I answered him with a rebuke so maybe he was surprised.
I puckered my lips to suppress my laugh. Ivan was funny, as in. He likes to tease.
His face immediately became serious and he raised an eyebrow at me.
“You said that night that you love me. In front of your friends.” He said holding back annoyance and grinned.
“OMG!” I screamed and I couldn’t stop laughing.
was Ivan gay? He likes to work as hard. But it’s a pity that he’s so handsome, so I just hope he’s not like that. Hahaha.
He looked at me but still couldn’t stop laughing. I want to tease him, let me see what he will react.
To my surprise, he sat on the bed again and then grabbed both my shoulders and laid me down on the bed. I stopped laughing and my cheeks warmed as our faces came together as he was on top of me.
“Do you know that I’m being teased badly, Rigella?” He whispered and I almost gasped as I inhaled his fragrant breath.
Oh my gosh! I could hardly catch my breath with so much nervousness. I can kiss him with just one snout.
He smiled and I closed my eyes tightly because of that. Can it be cheaper? T@ng1na! She’s really sexy when she smiles.
I opened my eyes and his gaze was serious on me now. He brings his face closer to mine. I thought he was going to kiss me but he passed my lips and whispered in my ear.
“I’ve been holding back for a while, you know? Do you want your stomach to be full again?”
My eyes widened at what he said and I immediately pushed him away. He just smiled at me and nodded and laughed as well.
Fuck Ivan! I was deprived! Sh1t, I never thought he had this side. How come, he always seems aborted every time I talk to him, tsk.
