I’m Just His Wife

“I’m sure, Momma. Besides, Rayven isn’t sleeping yet so I won’t sleep yet, too.” he hugged his doll and leaned on my shoulder.

I just smiled and hugged her slightly. One of the best things that happened in my life was the birth of my twin children. They have served as a light in my dark life over the years so I am very thankful to god that he has given me children like Rayven and Rayne.

Sometimes, they’re asking about their father but I can’t answer them properly and truthfully so … I can’t help but to feel guilty. I always just tell them that their father was busy and that was okay and they believe. And until now they haven’t asked again so I’m very grateful for that.

Actually, I have no plans on introducing them to Ivan. But destiny was not always on my side so I know that no matter what I do, they will meet and they will meet as fathers. And … I already prepared myself for it. I’m ready to deal with all the consequences.

But … What I can’t allow to happen was for them to get close to Ivan. As long as I don’t have enough evidence that he was not an accomplice in the murder of my family I will never let that happen. He was still a bad person in my eyes.

“were we staying here for good, Mom?”

I almost lost my senses when I heard Rayven’s voice on my right. I turned to her and she sat down next to Rayne who was now talking to her doll.

“No, young man. We will immediately go back to Los Angeles when Mommy has finished her work here in the Philippines.” I slightly smiled and caressed his face.

He looks very much like Ivan while Rayne looks very much like me. But despite that, I knew that Rayven was different than Ivan. I raised my son with a good attitude.

“But I want to explore the Philippines more, Mom. I want to know the country’s culture and traditions. And mostly, their history.” he said with a blank face.

“You can research it in the internet, Rayven Isaac.” I sigh.

“Yes, but … I want to know it myself, personally …” he replied with a bow.

“I’m sorry but, we can’t stay here longer, Rayven. Don’t worry, I’ll just teach you those things you want to know about the Philippines.”

He took a deep breath, a sign that he agreed. Rayven never disobeyed me. “Alright, Mom.” he nodded.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Good boy, Rayven. Soon, you will know the reason why we can’t stay here longer …” I whispered the last words that came out of my mouth.

“Kuya Ice!”

I turned to Rayne when she suddenly shouted. She looked at Ice in amazement while smiling.

I covered my mouth and turned to Ice as well.

Gradually his eyes opened and he looked around. It was as if he had not completely returned to his correct consciousness.

When he turned to look at me, a smile formed on my lips. My son was a young man.

“Mom …” he whispered just enough for me to hear.

Third Person’s POV

“DAMN! Find him!” Ivan shouted angrily at him on the phone. Annoyed, he snapped his cellphone and put it on the side table.

He’s talking to his bodyguard whom he assigned to search for Ice. But in her frustration she called and said they still had no hint of where her son was.

She forgot for a moment that her son was kidnapped because Rigella went to the hospital where she was now. And even if she wanted to look for her child herself, she couldn’t. He still can’t because he has a fractured arm. Fortunately, he did not have a broken leg.

He closed his eyes sharply and sighed. He was very frustrated with what was happening to him. First was the disappearance of Ice, second was the beating he closed and the third and most of all was that Rigella accuses him of being an accomplice in the murder of the Chrysostom family.

In his mind he was very surprised. How did Rigella find out that he was an accomplice in the murder of his wife’s family and that he was his roommate when his parents were still buried? Doesn’t that seem impossible? Or maybe someone told him?

He only suspects one person. It must’ve been Rina Crisostomo. She used to be a member of Dark Alpha and also Uno’s ex-girlfriend. But it leaves Dark Alpha when their group kills his parents. He was complicit in the murder of his parents but why did he leave? And why did he teach Ivan to be guilty of those?

Ivan still really doesn’t know much about their group even though he ranks second. He was just a newcomer and he took Rina’s place then.

He was caught up in what had happened before. If he interferes in Dark Alpha’s murder of Rigella’s parents and doesn’t join their group they will kill his mother and father. So even against his will he agreed.

He tried to save them but he only saved Ryan when he was stabbed. While Rigella’s parents followed her to Xyleus but her friend did not spare her in -laws.

What he knows was that Uno was very angry with Ricardo Crisostomo because he killed his father. Uno’s father stole money from the Crisostomos’ company, so Ricardo killed him because it led to the company’s losses.

He immediately opened his eyes when he heard the sound of shoes approaching his bedroom door. He got up from lying down and with his free hand he opened the drawer next to his bed and took his gun there. Every time he was hospitalized, he buried a gun and put it in a drawer. It’s for safety purposes.

The gun was already loaded so he only needs you to fire if anyone tries to hit him. That was why he used a gun with only one hand.

The door opened so he immediately pointed it at the person who entered.

“Shit, De Leon! were you going to kill me ?!” wrinkled when Creed asked as he raised both hands carrying plastic bags.

Ivan sighed and lowered the gun. “I hope you called me that you were coming.” he said in a cold tone.

Creed was shaken and his belongings were placed on a table. Creed, Xyleus, and Ivan were best buddies since elementary. That’s why they also joined Dark Alpha when Ivan joined there.

Creed sat in the chair next to Ivan’s bed. ‘tangina mo kasi, e. Why were you beating me up?”

“Shut up too. I didn’t like it either.” hard said Ivan.

“Don’t even use your chastity when there’s a war, De Leon. You’re beaten up right now, tsk.” shaken said his friend.

The mixture on his face worsened. “Did you go here just because you want to insult me, Agoncillo? If yes, you may fucking go out. I don’t need a shit like you, here.”

The edge of his friend’s lip lifted. “Just chill, De Leon. You’re too hot. I’ll just check if you’re still alive. But now that I know you’re okay, I’ve learned something.”

His forehead furrowed. Learned? “What kind of nonsense was that?” he replaced “learned” by “foolishness”. He knew Creed.

“I’ve learned it’s true that the saying ‘weeds take a long time to die’.” this answer was foolish.

He just sniffed it and slowly lay down on the bed. He thought that no one else would visit him except Rigella. But to his surprise came his taxing friend.

“What really happened and did you get beaten up like that?” Creed asked him seriously. Very few would think that he had Bipolar Disorder Creed. Earlier he was happy to joke with her but now it was serious.

He took a deep breath. “Miss Steinfields was my wife. She was Rigella.” his plain answer.

Creed’s mouth formed an ‘O’ and his eyes widened. He smirked again because of what it looked like. It looks gay to him.

“Damn! How long have we been looking for that wife of yours and then she’s only in America? And, shit! She’s the owner of SCC!” Amazing says Creed.
