I’m Just His Wife

I smiled. That girl was amazing, huh? Class A Uno’s staff then he defeated almost all of them? Really impressive.

“So, what were we gonna do now?”

“I heard, did you offer him a proposal? To his company SCC?”

“Yeah.” I have no appetite to say. Why else would I be surprised that he knew that? That idiot guarded the actions of our Dark Alpha participants.

“Invite her like us to your company’s Christmas Party so I can introduce you to her.”

“I already did that, Uno. was that all you’re going to say so you can call?”

“Yeah. I have to go. Bye.” He immediately hung up the phone so I was shaken. Really stupid.

Previously, I hoped for his place as the first in our ranks but now I don’t want to. He was too bad and the soul of that shameless was blocked. I don’t want to be like him.

Rigella changed me. And I don’t regret that because I can say I”m a better person now than ever.

If she comes back to me, I won’t hesitate to accept her because I love her so much and … She’s worth the wait. He was able to make me wait and sacrifice just so I could love him. What else was this search and waiting for me with him isn’t it?

Andrea’s POV

I opened the envelope looking expensive and special. It was also red in color and scary to open but I know it has important content. It’s noon here in the Philippines and it’s been three hours since we arrived here. Darlyn and I stayed here on one of my properties, the one I inherited from my parents.

Zella, on the other hand, took a regular flight and did not accompany us on the private plane. Well, it’s her decision, tho. He left for a while to visit his family but he said he would return later.

When I opened the envelope I immediately inhaled a fragrant and expensive -looking perfume. I smiled. We haven’t even met yet, I feel like I’m special to her. Of course, who wouldn’t act like this if a partnership with SCC was the replacement?

I opened the expensive folded paper and was almost stunned to see that handwriting. I can’t be wrong, he has the penmanship in the letter. It”s funny because even though a lot of time has passed, I still seem to have memorized everything about him.

Greetings, Ms. Andrea Steinfields!

As you know, the Christmas Celebration will be on Friday the 25th. So, our company was having a small and simple celebration, a Christmas Party to be exact. Exactly this day, eight in the evening.

For years, we were already celebrating it so we were requesting to postpone the company’s presentation today. I’m sorry for the inconvenience but the company’s employee was our top priority. They were waiting for this party for months and we have no choice but to continue it.

If you agree with us, kindly attend the party located at **** Hotel. We were expecting your presence, Ms. CEO and also, I’m looking forward to a successful meeting with you.

PS: The official invitation was also placed at the envelope. Thanks for wasting your precious time to read this, Ms. Steinfields.

(CEO, De Leon Corp.)

I smiled for no apparent reason. Christmas party, huh? As far as I can remember, Ivan refuses such requests from his employees because it was just a waste of time. Should I rejoice because he has changed in the slightest?

My smile was immediately erased and shaken. Damn it, Andrea. Why were you smiling? This was not so you.

I even took a piece of paper from the envelope and found it sealed so I didn’t bother to open it yet. I smirked when I saw the word ‘VIP’. We haven’t even met, he”s already sucking.

Hays, it looks like, I won’t taste the word “rest” even if I’m feeling the so called “jetlag”. Eight in the evening tonight? Well, not bad. It’s still noon and I can still fix it.

“What’s that?”

I turned to Darlyn and saw she had just taken a bath. Great.

I smirked at her. “were you ready for a party?”

Her forehead creased. “Party?”

“Well, DLC have a Christmas Party tonight and I am invited. I can’t go there alone so you need to come with me.”

His face went up and he was ready to speak when I put my palm on his face. “I won’t take a no for an answer. So, let’s go and prepare. If I know, you know Xyleus was there so you don’t want to come. You’re still bitter.”

He scolded me. “Excuse me, I’m not bitter with them anymore. Do I care if Corrine and I were together there.”

“Did I say Xyleus was with Corrine? Me, your excuses, Darlyn.”

“Hey! You’re hungry! Let’s go!” He said and pulled me away.

I was just shaken. Corrine was really in denial. I thought, what if he and Xyleus meet at the party? I know her, this woman believes in the saying that only lintek has no reward.

Ivan’s POV

“Why were you tampering with my belongings huh ?! Didn’t you know that all of these were important ?! You’re a very caring child!”

From walking into the house I immediately ran and quickly climbed the stairs. Damn it! What was Lara doing again?

When I got up I ran to Lance’s room. I was about to open the door when I heard another voice.

“Don’t blame him, Tita Lara! He’s only five. He’s young so you should understand him!”

My lips trembled because it was Ice’s voice. When was the last time I heard my son’s voice? Out of nowhere I smiled. Maybe it’s time for us to talk.

I slowly turned the doorknob and when I opened it my forehead immediately frowned. My mouth tightened when I saw Lara holding two by two and it was time to slap Lance and Ice who were now hugging.

“What ?! were you still moaning ?! Taxpayers! It must hit you to believe-!”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

My face darkened and I immediately approached Lara. She was cut off from what she was going to say when she saw me. Her eyes widened and she was obviously nervous. I’m really disappointed. She was no longer the Lara I met eighteen years ago.

I immediately snatched the dos por dos from him and you let him go so he closed his eyes. I looked at him seriously and clenched my fists. Even if I wanted to hurt him I couldn’t. There were children who can see.

I glanced at Ice for a moment, “Son, you’ll be in your room first. Bring Lance with you. Lock the door and don’t open it until I say so, alright?” I said and turned seriously to Lara again.

I saw Ice nod and he lifted Lance. He ran out of the room so I could barely hold my breath. Now Lara and I can talk.
