Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 72: I love my life!

Thank God I was sitting because otherwise, I'm sure I have already found myself lying on the floor. My

hands and knees were shaking but I couldn't form any words inside my head. I was so shocked that left

me motionless on my seat.

"I'm sorry, my baby. I know I was wrong that I just let you go without supporting you for the truth. I was

a great coward that I didn't even put a fight to find justice for what he has done to you. And I was weak

that I got scared and wasn't able to protect you. I'm sorry, my Belle."

Tears started to blur my vision but I couldn't still open my mouth to say anything. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"I know I can never change what happened and I can never bring back the past. And I also know that I

don't have the right to ask for your forgiveness but I only have one wish before I die---"

A loud sob burst out my lips when I heard the word 'die' that I had to cover my mouth to prevent myself

from choking from my own sobs.

"Don't cry, baby, please? I have already accepted it as my destiny and my punishment for what I did to

you and to your mom. I wish I could go back to the time when you were born. When I first saw you and

held you in my arms. That day, I promised myself to protect you, to love you and to give you everything

you need but I guess I failed. Your father failed, Belle. I failed to be a husband to your mom and I also

failed to be a father to you."

Since when it is difficult to form a word? It hurts to hear those words from him. The pain is slowly eating

my strength and blocking my brain from thinking about positive things.

"I have only one wish before I leave and before leaving my last breath, it is to see you and to hold you

in my arms again like I used to hold you when you were still my little girl. I love you, my Belle. I hope in

my second life if ever God will give me the opportunity to live again on this earth, I promise to become

a better man, a loving husband for your mom and to be a good father to you."

My whole body trembled when he finally ended the call. It's only then that I found my voice and I

screamed. I screamed, hoping it would take the pain inside my chest, or at least lessen the agony that

eating my heart inside. I suddenly lost all my strength and couldn't even hold my phone and dropped it

to the floor.

"Arghhh!"

Why does fate, destiny or whatever you call it seems so unfair to me? All I wanted was to have a

complete family, to have a mother who would run to me and embrace me whenever I fall, a father who

would protect me from any harm that this cruel world could give, and a man that would love me and

care for me the way a simple woman like me should love and cherish.

"Sophia!"

The door flew open and the face of worried Craig was the first thing that came to my sight, and second

was the face of the last person I ever wanted to see at this very moment, Daniel Kelley.

"Oh, my God! What happened to you?" Craig was the first one to ask and they rushed towards my

seat.

"Sweetheart..." Daniel tried to hug me but I swatted his hands and pushed him away from me.

A stream of tears ran down my face when I looked at him. Raising my hand, I gave him a clear signal to

stop where he was.

"Don't touch me! And don't fucking call me sweetheart!"

"Sophia?" He and Craig uttered in unison.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, gritting my teeth.

Seeing his face today after hearing my father's painful revelation seems an extreme torture to me. My

head hurts and I could feel my heart bleeding inside my ribcage. Suddenly, his image wearing only a

towel that morning came across my mind that caused me to stumble, but Craig immediately grabbed

my arms and helped me to stand still.

"Sophia, I'm sorry. Please let me explain. Let us talk."

"Sorry? Forgodsake! How many times do I have to hear that word today? Twice? Three times? Ten

times? I'm fucking tired of it and I'm so sick of hearing that word!"

"Sophia, please? Let us talk? I just have something to tell you---"

"We have nothing to talk about, Daniel Kelley!" I screamed, interrupted him while throwing him a hard

glare. "We're over! Our agreement was over! I have already signed and gave you the divorce papers

that I know you wanted since the beginning, so why are you still here? I have no time to talk to you, so

just leave!"

"If you don't want to talk to me, it's fine with me, just listen to me."

"No!"

"Please, Sophia---"

"I said no! Just leave, Daniel!"

"No, I won't leave until you listened to me!"

"Ahh..." I nodded, smiling sarcastically. "So, you don't want to leave?"

He shook his head.

Craig was standing next to me, moving his eyes from me to Daniel then back to me again.

"Fine! If you don't want to leave, then I will!" And I turned my heels towards the door without paying

attention to their calls.

"Sophia!"

They both yelled at the same time but I walked as fast I could until I reached the elevator and closed it

immediately.

Tears had stopped falling but the hurt, pain and agony still dancing inside me. I only have one heart,

one head and one body to take it all of for just one day.

I slammed my hands on the steering wheel the moment I got inside my car and closed the door. What

did I do to deserve this kind of thing in my life?

"Whew! I love my life! I fucking love my life!" I said as I continued to bang my hands on the poor wheel.

A few minutes later, I saw Daniel came out of the building. His eyes were searching around the parking

lot and started to run when he spotted where my car was parked.

"Argh! Forgodsake!"

I immediately started the engine and stepped the gas pedal, but it's too late as he already stopped in

front of my car with his arms spread in a squat position, so I have no choice but to step on the break.

He ran to the side of my car and tried to open the passenger side but it's locked.

"Open this door, Sophia!" He shouted outside.

-'Huh! Talk to my ass, Daniel Kelley!'- I muttered to myself before stepping the gas pedal again.

I saw him running and shouting through my side mirror but I have no plans on talking to him today,

tomorrow and even in the following days. For me, it's enough that I stayed on his side for nine months

and played the role as his wife.
