I’m Just His Wife

“You disrespectful kid!” he shouted. But heck, I don’t care anymore. He was the one who started this. “Know your place, Ivan. You know that you were just only adopted by us. After all those things that I gave you, you will just talk to me like that?” he seemed so angry.

My right hand was formed into a ball of fist. My jaw also clenched. Yes, I’m adopted. But, who cares? At least, my mother loves me.

“I know that already, Dad. You don’t have to remind me.” I heavily sighed. He doesn’t need to rub it on my face.

I heard him faked a cough. “Go home now. Your mom was looking for you.” I heard a loud beep from my phone. It only means that my dad ended our call.

I exhaled again. I composed myself before walking towards Seymour. I didn’t want to leave him yet but mom needs me now. Maybe if I had gone to him first before coming here to Tito’s hill that might not have happened to him.

“Bro, I’m sorry but I need to go. My mom needs me.” I said to Seym as soon as I got close to him.

He looked up at me. He stood himself up. “What happened to Tita? Let’s go. I’ll take you.”

I immediately shook my head. I don’t want him to leave his father just because he will deliver me. “No need, bro. I brought my car with me. I can drive.” I said and took my car key from my pocket. I even showed it to him.

His forehead furrowed. “You’re underage, Ivan. Why do you have a car right away?” he asked.

“You’re underage, too, Seym but you have a car. So do I, I already have it. Dad gave it to me.” My dad was really gallant when it comes on giving gifts. I am just seventeen and yet, he already gave me a car.

Seymour sighed deeply. I know he’s very tired right now so I don’t want to add to what he’s taking care of. “Can you drive? It’s getting late. If you want, I’ll order one of our drivers to drive you.” he still insisted.

I smiled. ‘that’s gay, bro. Besides, I’m not a woman. I can handle myself. You, rest. I know you’re tired. I’ll come here again tomorrow.”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Seymour finally agreed. I drove home with my new car. I still feel enjoyed driving this new car. I already knew how to drive cars when I was in my third year of high school but my dad’s car couldn’t buy me. And now that I’m graduate, he just bought me.

Our house was quiet when I arrived in there. When I went inside, no housemates appeared before me. I took a deep breath and shook. It only means that my dad was furious earlier. But, because of what? Because mom was nearly raped? That’s impossible.

I climbed the stairs and went straight to my parents “room. I didn’t waste my time just to knock. I quickly opened the door and I saw my mom sitting on a couch while crying. But what made me surprise was that.. dad comforts her. He also looked concerned for mom.

I just snorted at myself quietly. Maybe it was just my father’s hoax. He never cared for mom. He never cared for us.

“Mom.” I grabbed their attention and walked closer to them. I saw mom immediately walk away from dad and then he stood up. She ran towards me and hugged me tight.

“Ivan, my baby boy. You’re here …” he sobbed and whispered to me.

“Shh … Don’t cry. I’m sorry I wasn’t there to protect you.” I touched her back and started to comfort her.

After mom cried we sat on the couch. She’s still crying but you’re not as bad as before. Fuck, my mom looked scared. If I really saw the one who did that to him I might kill that animal.

“I’m going to lock up that Galvin animal, Jane. Why were you letting that into your office?” dad said out of nowhere.

“I … I trusted him, Ivo. He’s been a good friend to me. I didn’t know … that he could do that thing to me.” almost whispering mom’s promise.

‘that’s the problem with you. You trust who you were too much.” Dad’s mouth tightened and he turned his gaze to me. Bend down and sigh. I know he will also blame me. “And you, Ivan. Which continent were you going to and you didn’t even go with your mommy to her office?” I was quite surprised because he didn’t raise his voice on me. There was only a mixture of coldness in his voice.

I looked up. “I came to my best friend, Seymour. His dad was already buried so I accompanied him there.” I have no appetite for answers.

Dad frowned for a moment. “Oh, his father died, right? Because of Ricardo?” he asked.

I sighed in shock. “What?” I asked in shock. Tito Ricardo was Rigella’s father!

Dad smirked with no humor. “You’re not updated because you don’t want to go with me for business. Ricardo Crisostomo has rumored to have betrayed Santi Alcantara. So you, don’t ever plan to approach his son, Ivan. I know you like his daughter. ”

‘tito Rick can’t do that.” I said again.

“I thought so, too, Ivan. Rick has been a good friend to me and he never did something offensive on me. But now there’s talk of him stealing from Alcantara holdings. He’s cunning.” dad stated. ‘that’s why, I’m planning to pull out my shares on his company. I’m also backing down from our agreement to marry you and Rigella. I don’t want him to deface our family name. I can’t allow us to be involved in stupidity. he. ”

My mouth parted. Nothing else entered my mind but what dad said they planned to marry Rigella and me. But now he was retreating. Why so? It seems like the speed of events.

It’s been two months since Seymour’s dad died. He’s now leaving. He was going to America to continue his education there and for their company to be well. His brother still didn’t want to handle their company so he had no choice but to take his brother’s place.

“Call us when you’re having a hard time there, Seym. We’re just one call away.” smiling Creed said and even gestured like a phone with his hand. I spontaneously smiled there.

Seymour tapped Creed’s shoulder. ‘thank you, bro. I hope you don’t forget me.” he smiled sadly.

‘that’s gay, Seym.” Xyleus’s emotionless promise. Damn, he was always like this. “But don’t worry, we won’t forget you. You were the one who made our squad. You were our best friend.”

‘thank you, Xy. But please, don’t always be expressionless.” Seym laughed weakly. He turned to me and smiled at me. ‘take care of my girl, bro. I’ll only rely on you because I don’t trust these two. It’s just that these two were ready to beat me.” he joked.

I smirked but I know it was a fake one. I was quite uneasy because he addressed her as his girl. “Don’t worry, bro. I’m not like these two. I’ll watch over her whenever my time was free. I will make sure that she’ll be safe. But, in return, you will promise that you will be safe , too. ”

“Woah, were you gay, Ivan? You’re too, concerned with Seym. Did you type him?” Creed suddenly groaned so I stared at him. He immediately raised both his hands as a sign of surrender. Tss, fucker.

“I’ll be safe, Ivan.” Seym looked at his watch. “I have to go. My flight was coming up. Be careful here too. I’ll go home next year, promise.”

After that, he already left. I am left alone again. My best friend was now away.

In my first year in college, I decided to take a business course. My dad was quite delighted that time but he jus didn’t make it obvious. Sometimes I think that maybe he was really my child because we have the same habits but every time I remember those times when he almost slapped my face that I was adopted I lose the thought of that. I was just adopted. End of the story.

My first choice was to take a course of Culinary Arts but I changed my mind. Rigella and I had the same school. I found out that the Culinary building and her Fashion designing course were only close to each other so I didn’t go to the course I wanted. I don’t want to see him anymore. I might love him even more and I might just find it harder to forget him.

All the more, I somehow thought that I was really destined to be in the field of business. I am a De Leon, not in blood but in papers. I still need to inherit our business, whether I like it or not. I don’t want the businesses that dad founded and grew to go to my cousins.

At the first semester, I was a little bit bored. I mean, I’m not really interested with business. But, one day, I just woke up and told myself that I need to study hard because I can use it on our business someday. And the result of studying hard, I was one of the dean’s lister. My mom was very proud of me while dad, I think he was, too. He gave me a new car. A sports car this time.

While Larisse, she’s still my girlfriend. The course he took was accountancy. That’s weird because he didn’t take a course on painting. All I know was that he likes to paint but it’s also surprising that I haven’t seen him paint yet.

“Happy birthday, Ivan!” greetings from some of my acquaintances. I’m sitting here now on a couch here in a bar. After my formal birthday celebration earlier at a hotel, I invited my close acquaintances to have a drink.

‘thank you!” I shouted back and mocked them.

I drank vodka and leaned back in my seat. The loud music makes me want to join the people dance on the dance floor. But I can’t do that because my back hurts a bit. I just finished doing my thesis report for defense in one day. I was always bent over so my back hurt.

I’ve been drinking a lot but I’ve only been drinking now so I’m trying. My gaze shifted to Xyleus and Creed who were now both with the charm of some kind of woman. I grinned and shook. Why did I let them be with me here at the table?

Eventually they stopped their nonsense. They just drove the women off their laps. You idiots, can’t be satisfied with one woman. They already have girlfriends e.

“Look, bro. It’s Rigella.” Creed grinned angrily at me and pointed something out.
