I’m Just His Wife

“I called Seymour earlier and told him what happened to him. I sent him here but he said tomorrow, he will do something important.” Roxanne said frowning at me. It used to be just a call from me or Roxanne and she would come to us right away but now?

I was so bitten on my lower lip. I’m so used to the fact that I’m more important than anything else to him.

‘that one was really amazing. The voice was very serious. Tsk, by the way. Ice? How’s your son?” He asked which made me shudder.

God! I just left without thinking about my son. I wiped my palm on my face in extreme frustration. How can I take him, I’m sure Ivan won’t give him to me? Should I go back there again at home?

“Roxanne, how was my daughter?” I fail to say.

He scratched his head. “Why, I don’t know! I’m the one you’re asking, aren’t you the one I’m asking?”

The wind blew me away. Why didn’t I take Ice before I left?

“Ah! I know that.” Suddenly Roxanne stood up from sitting on the sofa.

My forehead wrinkled. “Have you thought of a way?” I will ask.

He grinned. “We’re going to ask Ryan for help.”

I sighed. “Roxanne, don’t be Kuya Ryan. He’s dirty at work. Just don’t …” I said and shook my head.

He sat up and frowned. ‘tsss, I’m just suggesting. Don’t.” He whispered.

I close my eyes tightly and sigh. No matter, tomorrow morning I will go to my son. And if I don’t want to and if Ivan wants, I’ll take him. I am his mother and I gave birth to him so I have more rights.

I was slowly getting drowsy when I heard Roxanne scream. I lost consciousness and frowned at him. Her eyes widened and her mouth fell open looking at her cellphone.

“Roxanne-”

Before I could continue what I was about to say, he immediately turned to me and spoke. “Oh my God! Seymour was going to take Ivan to your house! He texted me! Looks like he’s going to stay with your wife!”

My jaw dropped. “What ?!”

“Geez! It’s still scary that Seymour was angry! He used to be a gangster, wasn’t he?” Frustrated Roxanne said.

I got up from my seat. “Come to our house. Please, Roxanne! I wonder what will happen to Seymour!” I passed Roxanne upright.

“was it really Seymour or Ivan?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.

I was stunned for a moment but then I spoke up. “S-Of course Seymour! Come on!” I pulled Roxanne over so she could do nothing but get her car key out of the cabinet.

When we got to the parking lot we immediately got in the car and he immediately turned it on. We need to get ahead of Seymour so we can stop him from whatever he does.

We almost flew at the speed of Roxanne’s car. My hands and knees were shaking the whole trip. I was really nervous, I knew Seymour and I knew Ivan too. They both won’t lose once someone attacks them.

When we got to the opposite side of the house we immediately got out of the car. I was stunned when I saw the unconscious guard lying on the floor. Fortunately, Roxanne pulled me inside right away.

Roxanne and I were both stunned when we saw two men exchanging blows in the garden. We immediately approached them and I was devastated to see that they both had bruises on their lips and forehead.

‘t@NGINA MO, DE LEON! HINDI KA NA NADALA! PALAGI MO NALANG SINASAKTAN SI RIGELLA, T@R@NTADO KA!” Seymour shouted and sneered at Ivan so I sighed.

“DON’T INTERFERE WITH US, UL0L! PLEASE BE INTERESTED! WHY ?! WHO were YOU ?! YOU’RE JUST RIGELLA’S FRIEND!”

“WHO AM I ?! I’M JUST THE MAN WHO LOVES YOUR WIFE, G@G0! AND I’M READY TO CALL HIM WHEN HE LEAVES YOU! HE CAN’T DESERVE A DEMON LIKE YOU!”

“WHAT IF YOU LOVE HIM ?! THE QUESTION was IF HE LOVES YOU ?!”

I saw the look of anger in Seymour’s eyes and he kicked Ivan hard causing him to be thrown to the floor.

“Ivan!” I shouted and they both turned to me. I approached Ivan and tears welled up in my eyes when I saw the bleeding and his cracked lip. His left eye was also swollen and he had a bruise on his forehead.

I caressed his sweaty and wounded face and chasing his breath he was just looking at me, his gaze deep. I turned to Seymour and saw him holding Roxanne’s arm and whispering to her as well.

I saw a mixture of anger and sadness in Seymour’s eyes.

“Rigella, get out of there! I’ll teach that animal a lesson-!”

I cut off what he was going to say. ‘that’s enough, Seymour! That’s enough! That’s enough. Ta … That’s enough …” I sobbed.

Seymour’s eyes widened and his jaw dropped as well.

“Pe … But, Rigella. He hurt you, not only emotionally but also physically. That shameless one should be punished!” He even pointed at Ivan.

I turned to Ivan and he was still staring at me deeply and I couldn’t read the expression on his face.

“Se … Seymour, that’s right please … you two were just hurting.” I promise.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“NO! I can’t miss what he did to you, Rigella. That man was a demon. You don’t deserve him!”

I sniffed before answering. “Yes! I don’t deserve him but I love him so much, Seymour!” I said boldly.

Seymour was stunned, Roxanne just surrounded me, she looked disappointed in me.

“Rigella-”

I didn’t let him finish and I averted my eyes. “I’m going to stay here. I’ll be back here. I won’t leave him.” Especially now and he was beaten. I don’t want to leave him in this state.

“Rigella, I thought you had already decided ?! I thought you were going to leave that man ?! Why do you want him back now ?!” Roxanne shouted so I turned to her. So Seymour next to him couldn’t believe staring at me.

“I’m sorry, Roxanne … I love her. I love her so much and I can’t afford to lose her in my life …” I replied weakly to her.

He dropped his jaw and grinned bitterly then asked me again.

“Go shopping, Rigella. Will you leave that man, or will we lose your life? Roxanne and I.” Seymour’s voice was cold as he looked at me seriously.

I sighed at what he said. Roxanne and I were the only ones on my side. Why do I have to choose.

I took a deep breath and my tears flowed. I don’t want to do this but I have to …
