"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" He asked angrily. I swallowed before speaking. "Ivan you hurting me-" His grip on my arm was tighter so I frowned even more, my tears were already dripping. "I don't care! Maybe you followed me here! I told you before, you are just my wife in papers! You have no right to watch all my movements!" I was depressed in my mind. My weak sobs disappeared. "I-It's just a coincidence. This is also where Roxanne and I will meet ..." I could hardly breathe from sobbing. My back hit the cement wall when he slapped me hard. I sat down on the floor and covered my mouth to stop my sobbing. "You liar! Remember, Rigella. When Lara sees you I will hurt you again. Now, get out! Get out of my sight!"
Rigella's POVI put a hand over my mouth to contain my tears. I just witnessed my husband enjoying a romantic lunch with his mistress at a posh eatery. Their table was in front of the glass wall, so I could see the sweetness of their food without a doubt. He doesn't even like to dine at places like that, unlike myself. I wiped my tears away and dared to look away before entering that eatery.Here is where my closest friend Roxanne and I discussed having lunch. She promised to free me then since she missed me so terribly after more than a week without seeing each other.
I entered carefully while covering my long hair.I grinned as I noticed Roxanne already seated in our chair. My closest friend was missing. I missed her even though I hadn't seen her in a while. She's like my sister to me; she's more than simply a buddy. She looked at me with a smile and stood up when she saw me. I hugged and kissed her when I was close to her.She contacted the waiter as soon as we sat down and placed our lunch order. She arched an eyebrow, looked at me, and asked, "How are you, best friend?"I hid my right arm when she kept looking at it. I failed because Ivan had become upset with me the last time he had come home drunk. Roxanne scowled and got out of the chair. Then he came up to me and took my hand off my arm. When she saw my bruise, she bit her lip rather tightly. She gave me a serious look.She stopped and questioned angrily, "What's this? What did he do to you?"I retracted my arm from her and made a bow. I looked up at her and grinned when I came up with an explanation."It's not that horrible, Roxy; I slipped in the kitchen yesterday and my arm hit the table, so I passed."She interrupted me before I could continue and sat down. I was forced to turn my back on her because she was still giving me a serious look.My palm was already perspiring from great anxiety. I was aware of what might occur to Ivan if Roxanne learned the truth. I turned to face her and recast the spell. I grinned as I moved my seat.I flashed her my reassuring smile and said, "Roxanne, I'm telling the truth. I never lied to you, right? Trust me."Her brows arched. The question, "Are you sure?"When I saw the server coming toward us, I remarked, "Yup."Oh, the food was already there. "I'm really hungry."We started eating as soon as Roxanne's orders were delivered. We conversed while dining and had access to my kid, Ice. It's unfortunate that I left out my child. My son was in first grade and enrolled in school.After we finished what she had ordered, she placed another order for dessert and brought food for ice. I first informed her that I needed to go to the bathroom because I was already urinating.When I left her, she was speaking with someone, so I went to the women's comfort room. To my astonishment, someone dragged me back in as I was leaving the comfort room. When I saw Ivan, my eyes grew wider. I noticed remnants when he closed the door. I gulped before responding."Ivan, you were hurting me." I scowled even more as his hold on my arm grew stronger; tears were already streaming down my cheeks."I don't care! Maybe you followed me here! I told you before, you were just my wife in the papers! You have no right to watch all my movements!"I was mentally depressed. My feeble sobs stopped. I could not breathe because I was crying."It's just a coincidence."This was also where Roxanne and I would meet. He slapped me hard, causing my back to strike the cement wall. To stop crying, I sat down on the ground and covered my lips."Remember, Rigella, I'll hurt you again when Lara sees you. Now, get out!"I hurriedly stood up and left the comfort room after he yelled. As I drew nearer to Roxanne, I pulled a handkerchief from my pocket and wiped away my tears. When she noticed me, she scowled."Ella-"She was unfinished when I took my suitcase. I sobbed, my tears still streaming down my face."Let's get out of here, Roxy. Please, let's get out of here."I didn't respond to her alarmed question, "What happened?"Roxanne and I avoided the other exit for fear that Lara and Ivan might see us there. Was that still accurate? Was it proper of me to hold onto our union despite the fact that I knew there was no hope? More to come...I was in Roxanne's car in the parking lot with her. We had been here before, and even though it is getting late, we are staying put since I didn't want to tell her what happened and I was still in tears. I was merely his wife in the press, and he is correct. What prompted that, though? He continued to treat me the same way, even after seven years. Was he so repulsed by me that he was already harming me physically?Actually, I'm to blame. Even though I was just 18 and he was only 19, we got married right away after I told his parents that he had given me a baby. They were Lara throughout those times. the lady he adored. incredibly distressing. Even worse, it hurts.Roxanne glared at me and said, "Rigella, we're not leaving here until you tell me what happened."When she's serious, she uses my name when calling. I dried my tears and turned to face her. I'd say she was telling the truth. Because my parents were in the United States and my older brother didn't care about me, she was the only person I could rely on. Roxanne was the only person to be there for me; she is the only one. I snorted before I began.Ivan was earlier at the eatery as well. He dragged me into the relaxation area before hitting me. He physically hurt me. He is seeing Lara, and he asked me not to visit his girlfriend. I let out my confession. She struck the steering wheel and gave me a hard blink. I noticed sympathy in her eyes when she first awoke."Tell me, was that the reason your right cheek was red from his slap?" She demanded vehemently.I sobbed slowly as I nodded. I noticed Roxanne sighing and a tear in her left eye. She gave me a hug and massaged my back and hair. I started crying more because of what she had done. Thankfully, I still had one supporter. I wouldn't know what to do without Roxanne.I might prefer to simply end my life. Yet Ice, my child He would not let me go. I wished for him to keep his mother. I tried to terminate my life numerous times, but I was unable to because I kept thinking about him. It seemed as though my heart was being torn apart, and I could only assume that my son was crying because I was gone.My parents, Roxanne, Ice, and I were strong, and my strengths came from my parents. They give me the strength to continue living and enduring the suffering that Ivan inflicted."He's not worth your priceless tears, so please stop crying," Roxanne said in a voice that was calm and soothing like previously. Roxanne was invited to visit my house once we stopped sobbing.I couldn't stop since she assured me that I would remain in the condo initially. I also objected to seeing Ivan first. Aside from needing to rest, I was in discomfort. It's just much too much. I wanted to quit, but I was unable to. I adored Ivan, but I had the means to leave him whenever I pleased. but my son was missing. I didn't want him to grow up without a complete family because I had gone through it when my mother and I split up from my father due to her gender. Fortunately, they reconciled when I was a senior in high school. I wanted to provide Ice with a full family. Just don't allow him to, even though I felt every bit of the anguish. He was my only child, and I adored him. I contacted Ice's babysitter on the landline in Roxanne's condo when we got there since I couldn't help but worry about him.After a few more rings, his nanny finally responded. She responded from the other line, "Hello?"Before speaking, I sighed. That person was Rigella."Rigella, where were you?" I overheard Nanny groan. "Late hour. Ice searched for you. We are concerned for you.""I'm here at Roxanne's condo apartment first." I'm so biting my lip. I retorted, "I'm not going home right now.""Daughter, it would be best if you went home." She understood that Ivan had hurt me and that it might happen again."Ivan was already at home, and he's very angry because you didn't pick up Ice, and he picked up your son," she said with anxiety in her voice."But nanny, we've already spoken. I don't want to go home right now," I began to cry.Nanny let out an audible gasp before responding. "You also go home tomorrow, huh? You know, Ice, he won't go to school without seeing you, but he's fine if that's what you want."I hardly grinned. I said, "Yes, Nanny. I'll be home early tomorrow. Tell Ice I love him a lot, then read him a story before bed."She said, "All right, daughter, I'll take it down first, and I'll make dinner for your husband and son.""All right, Nanny. Goodbye."Roxanne asked me to assist her in cooking our meal after our conversation finished. After cooking, we had dinner right away. When she claimed earlier that crying made me hungry, I genuinely laughed. We proceeded to the living room after dinner to watch a romance film, exactly like we used to.We heard a knock on the door after a while. Since Roxanne was the one who offered to open the door, she got to her feet. I'm anxious because it's possible that's what it was. Because it appeared that the force of the rattling would break the door, it wasn't merely a knock.When Roxanne returned right away, I was taken aback and could see she was uneasy from the look on her face. She responded right away, as though she understood my expression.She groaned, "It's I-Ivan, the one outside," which made my heart pound.
"Yes, let's say I fucking love it." he said making me smile. We stayed in that position for a while and I shivered again for the second time. he changed our position so he was on top again. He put his hand on my side and moved freely on top of me. "Ohhh! Fa-Faster please." "I can't hear you, baby?" He was still teasing and slowed down his movement as he entered with full emphasis. I held his seat to make him lean more. "Alright, hurry up." "Next, baby." he said and sped up again. While he wasn't moving as fast as he was, he was relentlessly kissing my lips. I like this. I want to give him everything. he is the man who made me feel strange feelings. I feel that I will be very hurt when he leaves me. So I will do everything to be the only woman for him. We hugged each other and I was amazed by his last strength. I rested deeply and accepted the warm liquid he released from my insides. We kissed again and smiled at each other. He pulled out his length and left on top of me. He stood next to me and hugged me so I leaned on his chest and closed my eyes. "Flirt!" I woke up when someone grabbed my hair so I winced in pain especially when it pulled me down on the bed. "Suzanne!" "You're an animal! You're an animal, Atreo!" I was confused as I wrapped the blanket around my naked body. I looked at the woman who was beautiful, sophisticated, well dressed, and maybe the same age as Kuya. "Suzane, please, don't come here." I looked at both of them because I couldn't understand why the girl was crying. The woman looked at me when I stood up. I was shocked when he slapped me so I held my cheek and looked at it. I can see his tears and anger on his face. "You're flirtatious! You managed to hook up with my husband!" I was almost pierced and couldn't breathe from what he said. Husband? Is Atreo his wife? I looked at Atreo Ripler Alvarez. The guy I thought was single. The man I thought I could have. "Grace, let me explain." I cried and almost wanted to sink to the ground in my situation. I hate myself. I ran outside with only a blanket covering my nakedness. I could hardly see the road because of my flooding tears that blurred my vision. "You're flirtatious! You managed to hook up with my husband!" "You're flirtatious! You managed to hook up with my husband!" "You're flirtatious! You managed to hook up with my husband!" What the woman said kept echoing in my mind. I sat down on a rock and hugged myself as I continued to sob. "You are nothing but a mistress, Grace."
 "ELLESA WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON !!!" I woke up because of that thunderous voice. I got up and looked at the person at my bedroom door. And immediately a blanket covered my body "D-dad?" My answer is shocking. The person next to me moved and I felt stunned by it as well. "YOU'RE A DISGUSTING WOMAN. ANY MAN YOU MAY HAVE BROUGHT HERE! YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER! YOU'RE JUST GIVING THIS FAMILY SHAME!" He added. I want to cry because of dad’s insult to me. I wanted to defend myself but I lost word. I can't talk back to my dad. "Mr. Craig? How did you get here? As far as I know your house isn't here." Dad's Sarcastic Promise. None of us spoke. "A lot of media is out because someone saw you last night in a parking lot at a club. REALLY? OUTSIDE YOU REALLY DID IT? YOU ELLESA! YOU'RE AN EDUCATED WOMAN RIGHT? BUT YOU ACT LIKE A LOWLY SLUT." He is there again for his insult. "I want you two to get married as soon as possible." Authoritative he said. "WHAT? HELL NO! I WILL NEVER DO THAT MR. GIBB!" Nate shouted.  "Whether you agree it or not, you're going to marry my daughter. Or else I'll bring down your company. Don't fight me Mr. Craig." After that dad turned around.
It repeatedly enters my mind that what I am doing is wrong but I can’t step back now. I peeked into the grand mansion. The monster's house That's what they call the man who lives here. I haven't really seen him yet but because of rumors. I couldn't stop my curiousity so here I am. I'm sure my Mama will scold me again when she finds out what I'm doing. I kept hearing so many things about the man named Alexendris Courner. About how ruthless he is and short temper. I wonder, if it's really true. Based on what I see. He is extremenly rich. He has a two storey mansion. I think. His land area is 8 hectares and it is not just a mansion that stands here. "Odd. Why does it seem so quiet?" I asked in astonishment I looked around before approaching the guard house and was surprised to see nothing there. He doesn't have a security guard? In the size of his house. Isn't he afraid to rob? I was hesitant to enter. I know it's trespassing but I can't help myself. I slammed the gate. I almost drowned when I pushed it open. My eyes widened. "A-aren't they already robbed?" Nope! This is not trespassing. I'm just checking. Later they are actually robbed. I'm just a concerned citizen! I shared the sight across the house. I see three sports car parked in the right side. Is there anyone inside? I'm even more nervous e. I made my way through the door. My hand was still shaking as I knocked on the door. No one's answering. "Knock Knock-" I was interrupted by someone speaking behind me. "You!" My chest throbbed when I heard that baritone voice as if the was ready. I slowly turned away. Our eyes met. His deep sharp blue eyes bore at me. There's a dangerous glint in those orbs that pushed me back. He took big steps until he could get close to me. He held my hand and drew me harshly. "You shouldn't be here ... young woman."
"Let's get a divorce"- His wife looked at him, he stood up and approached his wife. "What do you mean Divorce? Are you really gonna leave me?"- he said while stroking her wife's cheek, Charlotte removed his husband's hand and stepped back "Yes! and I'll do anything just to get rid off of you!"- she shouted, her husband just grinned at her. "If you can"- he said and went back to where he was sitting and drank some wine Charlotte was holding tightly to her pants......
I sighed a few more times before driving my car away. I don't care about him anymore. but I forgave him a long time ago even though I was very hurt by what he did before. Oh God! I hope our paths never cross again.
"You're really rude! Be respectful!" Dad said angrily. I smiled bitterly because of what he said. "Rude? You're the reason I've been rude! If only you hadn't been so selfish, I wouldn't have been that!" I answer back. "We didn't become selfish children, we did it for you — for your future. We want your life to be peaceful when you graduate." Mom said tearfully. "Is that your solution for my future? You must be stupid then. I can work after I graduate. What you said is that you did it for yourself-so that you can be even richer and be known by all over the world and- " “How dare you talk back to your mother!”-Dad. I winced at what Dad had done. Its the second time he slapped me. I was grabbed by my sore cheek and started crying again. But instead of acting, I wiped away my tears and smiled wryly. "There you are again. Does it feel good to slap your daughter over and over again Dad? Is it comforting? Because I felt like slapping me is becoming your habit." I said to him. Dad didn't speak right away because of what I said. Mom kept crying as she hugged Dad's arm. "I'm sorry daughter." Only Dad said. I ignored them and started walking up the stairs. Mom tried to stretch my hand to stop me but I just tapped her and left. "Do you think you can stop this agreement? Sorry daughter but you have no other way. You need to marry him! Because I say so!" Dad chased after me but I just ignored it. You're wrong Dad, there's still a way.
