I’m Just His Wife

“After what have you done, Lara? You really expect me to talk to you?” I asked sarcastically and clenched my fist.

Damn it! If I could just take my life, I would have done it. I would have killed Lara in return for killing my son.

But no, I believe differently. Rigella’s right, karma strikes fast and I know Lara will feel that.

“Ivan, I’m sorry … please, talk to me. No … I didn’t mean to. I don’t know that she’s pregnant. If I knew … if I only knew I wouldn’t have pushed her … ”

I closed my eyes tightly and left the room. This was the room of the chapel where Rigella’s parents lay on the hill.

“Even if she’s not pregnant you shouldn’t have done that, Lara! You have no rights to hurt her!” I shouted angrily.

“No … I will never hurt her again. Just please, talk to me …”

I smirked. “You should never hurt her again, Lara. Because if you hurt my wife … I won’t hesitate to kill you with my own bare hands.” I strongly threaten.

I heard her sigh. “I’m sorry … please, let’s talk. I have something important to tell you …”

I laughed heartily. “I have no time for your lies, Lara. Thank you and my wife was kind because she doesn’t want to put you in jail. Look, if you still have your dignity and pride, you will leave me alone. You will leave us alone!”

“But, Ivan! We need to talk, please … let’s talk. ”

“I HAVE NO TIME FOR TALKSHITS, LARA!” I screamed irritably.

“But, Ivan! I’m not talking shits here! You have to stand up for me!” He shouted on the other line.

For no apparent reason my heart pounded. What the fuck was this?

“What do you mean?” My eyebrows almost met because of the urge to hear what he would say to me.

“I’m pregnant with your child, Ivan. You have to stand up for me …”

And … those words made my heart skipped its beat. Darn it.

Rigella’s POV

“What do you need from me?” I asked Lara angrily and sat down in the chair.

It’s just that someone called an unregistered number on my phone and when I answered it I found out it was Lara. He invited me here to this coffee shop because he said he would tell me something important.

At first, I refused. Not because I was afraid of what he could do to me but because I just remembered that he was the cause of my son’s loss. And most of all, I was nervous about what he would say to me. I just don’t know why. Just, I feel bad about it.

But I also thought of agreeing because of his voice earlier on the phone. It looks like he really wants to meet me so … here I am and I brought him here to the coffee shop.

He sniffed and removed his shades. I almost swallowed when I saw his puffy eyes. Why was it?

“I have something important to tell you …” even though he seemed to be reluctant to speak because of his hoarse voice, he still forced himself to say those words.

I could not answer immediately and averted my eyes. I was really nervous for no apparent reason. Why was it like this? I can not understand myself!

“What … What were you going to say? Just so you know, you’re bothering me. I’m busy and I still have a lot to do at my parents’ hill.” I forced myself to steady myself and looked at him bravely.

I saw him swallow and then he bowed slightly. I was a little sympathetic to his appearance because he looked like he was going through a hard time. My lips parted when I saw a tear dripping from his left eye.

She bit her lower lip to suppress her sob. “I’m … I’m sorry for pushing you, Rigella. Believe me or not, I didn’t mean that. I didn’t know that you were pregnant. I hope you’ll forgive me …” he sobbed.

I averted my eyes from him and closed my eyes firmly but … tears dripped from my eyes again.

I opened my eyes and stared at him. “Do you think that sorry will bring my son back?” I gritted my teeth because of the ranging anger I felt.

“I didn’t … I didn’t really mean it, I swear. If I only knew you were pregnant, I wouldn’t have pushed you. I was just … so angry that time because you’re the reason why Ivan and I broke up. up … “he sobbed as he bowed but I didn’t take it.

“I’m not doing anything wrong, Lara! And to top it all, I was never the reason why the two of you broke up! I don’t even know the slightest reason why you broke up! So please, don’t just give all the blame on me because I don’t know! ” My throat was shaking with the anger I was feeling. My shout was getting a little louder and someone was looking at us but I ignored it.

Lara was stunned and swallowed. Does he want me to even slap him with the fact that I know no reason why they broke up?

For damn’s sake! All I know was that Ivan loves her so I can’t understand why they broke up. And yet, am I to blame now? Just what the hell!

“We broke up because … because he didn’t want to sign the annulment!” He shouted so I was the one who was shocked.

My forehead furrowed and I bit my lower lip. I thought, he didn’t want to sign the annulment because Lara left her! And now, I just discovered that it was the reason why they broke up?

I can’t understand Ivan anymore. He really wants us to be annulled but … why in the first place doesn’t he want to sign?

“I think … I think he’s already fallen for you …” I blinked because I could hear the pain in his voice.

He’s already fallen for me? Yeah, he told me that he loves me but … I didn’t take it seriously. I feel like he’s just lying because we lost a child and he knows I’m hurting.

But … could it be possible? was it possible that Ivan already loves me so he didn’t sign?

Ugh! This revelation makes me damn frustrated and curious!

I cleared my throat. “It’s … it’s impossible, Lara. Ivan loves you. It’s just you …” I said that even though it was painful. Truth really hurts.

She smiled bitterly. “How I wish it’s true. But no. Judging from his actions towards me, he really do love you. He even threatened me to stay away from you and don’t ever hurt you again or else … he’ll kill me . ”

I was gripped tightly by the glass filled with water. What the hell? Did Ivan really threatened Lara? I can not believe!

“I can’t believe it …” I whispered to myself, subconsciously.

My eyes widened when Lara held my hand. I turned to her and felt sorry for her because her eyes were like a faucet because of the tears that kept falling from her.

“Please, Rigella … just give me Ivan. I need him …”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I immediately took my hand away from him because I heard his plea. She looks so … desperate. But I understand him. They’ve been together for eleven years already and I know they love each other very much.

“I need him too, Lara. I’ve lost a child, I’ve lost my parents. I need him more, Lara. I really need him by my side …” someone helped liquid in my hand and I realized I was crying me too.

My lips parted and I heard the sigh around. The famous Lara Santillan just knelt in front of me! He held my two hands resting on my lap and beggingly looked at me.
