I’m Just His Wife

Ate and Roxanne took care of me while I was pregnant. They never left me and they were very careful with me. And Seymour also helps take care of me even though he was still busy at work. He’s also … uhh, courting me.

I once told a story to Ate and asked her how she got so rich that she only wanted to sew in life, which our parents opposed so she ran away. His answer was that he married a rich American and he was a Mafia Boss here in America but sadly … he died because of Dark Alpha. She loved her husband and she wanted revenge on him. Her husband’s wealth and property was given to her since she’s the wife.

Surprisingly, he was the owner of Steinfields Clothing Company, the number one Fashion Company, world wide. I was still in college and I wanted to work there but my sister was the owner of that company. How ironic.

He decided to grow the money that went to him so he set up a Fashion Company since that was really his long -held dream. We have the same dream work, tho. The only difference was, my parents supported me in fashion designing while she didn’t.

And of course, Ate also continued to be her husband”s Mafia Boss.

Ate Rina also took me to the hospital when my stomach hurt at the supermarket. And he’s also the doctor who looked at me since we OB him. I can’t imagine that he’s also a doctor because he doesn’t want that even though that’s what our parents want for him.

“But, Ate. How about-?”

He blocked his hand slightly opposite my face. “Don’t worry, there’s someone watching over. There were a lot of people in the house. Don’t be paranoid. Then maybe Roxanne will come home from work and she will take care and watch over …”

I hesitated at first but immediately nodded as well. Ate, on the other hand, was busy releasing various types of guns in the attache case as well as various types of knives. I gulped, she’ll use that sharp-bladed knives?

Ate and I wore headphones and glasses. It seemed in an instant I wanted to learn gun firing. I want to shoot someone in the head. Nothing was lost because he has no brain.

“For starters like you …” Ate gave me a quick look from head to toe and then sighed. “First, you should know how to use a semi-automatic pistol and a revolver. These two were the best for self defense …” he said and showed me the two types of guns he was holding.

Ate taught me the different parts of the gun, its assembling and most of all how to use it. But I couldn’t, my hands were shaking.

“One more, Andrea! Don’t be nervous!” annoyed Ate.

I took a deep breath and aimed the gun at the target. I swallowed and shot it but it still didn’t hit.

To my surprise, Ate snatched the gun from me and aimed it at the target. He fired a gun at the target one after another and … despite my amazement, my fear prevailed. He was scary, as if he could kill mercilessly, plus the fact that there was no detachable expression on his face.

He then laid the gun on the table so I looked at my target. My eyes widened! Damn, how did he hit that? From time immemorial! There was only one hole but he used many bullets. He looked at me seriously so I bowed. Then he sighed.

“I understand you. I was like that at first. I can’t hold the gun properly like I have an allergy to it.” he said so I looked up.

“But learning how to use guns doesn’t mean that you will kill, Andrea. It’s for safety purposes. Me? Even if I learned how to use guns, I never killed people but … I have no choice sometimes because .. “My life’s in danger.” His voice grew weaker and weaker and his grip on the table tightened.

I was swallowed. Never did I imagine that I will kill a person. Ever since I was a child I have hated people who kill people because it was against the law of god.

“So … You already killed, Ate?” I will ask.

She nodded. “Yes. But those were people who were planning to kill me. I can’t die yet because I will avenge my wife …” he wiped a tear from his left eye.

I was so bitten on my lower lip. was that an understandable reason? To kill to defend yourself? I think … Yes.

Because if you don’t do that, you won’t be able to continue what you started doing in life.

His face was a little serious again and he smiled at me sparingly.

“Do you despise me now? You hate killers, right? Criminals?” he asked as he grinned bitterly and averted his gaze.

I closed my eyes sharply and sighed. “I don’t hate you, Ate. I only hate those people who kills innocent people without mercy. You’re far different from that. You only kill to protect yourself because you need to live to give your husband the justice he deserves. .. “I smiled at Ate and saw the momentary radiance of her face.

“You’re so kind, Rigella. That’s why your good for nothing husband just hurt you and took you for granted …” I said seriously so the smile was erased from my lips.

It was as if I was suddenly weakened by what I heard and I was held on the table to gain strength there. Slowly my forehead furrowed because of the question that suddenly formed in my mind.

What’s wrong with being good and … loving too much?

Since I was a child, my Mommy always told me that when I love someone, I shouldn’t skimp on love and I should love them too much. And … I did that because that’s what Dad and I saw in them then but … why does it seem wrong in the eyes of others?

Maybe the situation was because of someone else. My parents were madly and deeply in love with each other while us … our marriage was just full of lies. And, I”m the only one who loves the two of us.

“I want you to be like me, Rigella. Be heartless sometimes and don’t just give up. Think on how can you beat down our enemies. Fight for the lost of our loved ones. They took their lives, we will also take their lives and make them suffer. Think about that and you will be strong and successful like me .. “She said. I can see the ranging anger on her while uttering those words.

I could not answer because I could find no reason to speak up and contradict him. My sister was damn right. I want justice.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“Get a hold on the gun.” he said so like a robot I followed and held the gun. I heard once that gun was the instrument of death. I wonder why.

“Now, think of those bastards who killed our parents. Shoot the target like it’s their fucking senseless heads. Think of something or someone that will make you damn mad. It’s the secret on how to pull the gun’s trigger without any hesitation.” Ate said emphatically.

I did what he wanted and I suddenly felt the raging anger in my heart that I had only just experienced.

“Now, fire it!” he shouted.

I shouted and fired the gun one after another. They killed my parents and I was almost close on having a damn miscarriage. It’s their fault. I’ll make them pay!

I gasped when I lowered the gun and … I was surprised when I saw that I hit the target!

I smiled. A little more practice, I can deprive them.

“I’m so excited for your birthday, Andrea! What if we book a flight to France? Italy? Spain? What do you think? We can have a vacation! I badly need a rest from work!” smiling Ate said and laughed.

I just shook and continued jogging. I invited Roxanne and me to exercise because the three of us rarely go to the gym. Moreover, it was difficult to catch any disease today.

“Sis, it’s okay here in America. I’m okay in here. Let’s not go on vacation abroad. It’s just a cost …” I said shaking my head.

Ate blinked. “You know that we can afford that, Andrea! Besides, it’s boring here in the US. Maybe, we can migrate to Paris next week? What do you think? SCC has a branch of the company there.” Ate smiled again and walked away so I stopped jogging and accompanied her.

“And we will leave the biggest company branch, which was in here, Ate? Nah, I disagree.” I have no appetite for promises.

She sighed. “You treasure the company the most huh, Rigella Andrea? Maybe … I should leave my position already and give it to you. Only you can be the CEO?” she sounded like she thought of a great idea.

I am the Vice President of the whole corporation but I still started in the lowest position before reaching that position. I worked hard for it.

“Ate!” I was trampled with annoyance. She’s being childish for the past few days.

He laughed. “Hey, I’m just kidding! I won’t give my position to you until my life was taken away. In fact, it was stated in my last will that all my property will go to you when I die .. . “he smiled as if he was still very happy.

“Ate, don’t say that! And then what’s the last will? You’re too young for that!” I said calmly because I knew he was just kidding.
