Chapter 37: A Reminder to Herself
With a frown on his face, Carden strides the way to their front door. He swore to himself, if this was his brother, he would punch him. He didn’t order something, and he was sure he didn’t call for maintenance, so who could it be?
He shook his head, his jaw clenching hard as he grasped on the doorknob.“A freaking disturbance,” he murmured, still not throwing the person a glance. He was about to leave the door wide open for the visitor to come in, but the man spoke.“Mr. Thompson!” Jackie’s cheerful, fake girly voice greeted and waved at him, catching his complete attention.“Ah...yeah,” he greeted back, not sure about how he should react to his wife’s best friend. In his mind, it was always good if someone close to Dalmi visits her, but today, the timing was too bad that he couldn’t give her a smile.“Is Dalmi inside?” Jackie asked, peeking through his back as he tried to search fRelated chapters

“You already did it twice and you are married then you’ll tell me you two are just friends? That’s insane, girl!” Unable to believe her words, Jackie shook his head and sat beside her.Dalmi didn’t know what pushed her to say those words, but all she could remember is that their relationship is a big blur.They didn’t confess to each other, and she’s not sure about her feelings yet. When Dalmi fell silent for minutes, Jack realized she must be thinking of something. This woman is blind, he could totally see that she likes him, and no matter how silent Carden is, he still couldn’t hide the truth that he feels the same way.When Jackie left their place, Dalmi was still not talking. She could feel something breaking inside her by the thought of them, being fri

Dalmi tries to ask him for lunch, but the secretary told her he had a business meeting.Dalmi works and was planning to have dinner with him, but his secretary told her he went home early“Was waking me up that hard?” she angrily asked as she combed her hair. It was already nine AM, and she was late for her first day of work, but Carden didn’t even wake her up.Was he that furious that he’ll never even care if she would struggle or not? Knocking on her door early in the morning won’t hurt his time, but he didn’t consider doing it.Dalmi heaved a deep breath and ran towards the dining room, expecting that he somehow left her food because as he just said yesterday, he was cooking for himself, so maybe he left something.But to her disappointment, there was nothing. What she saw was a clean dining table with no sign of a man who ate and the only thing she could do to release her stress is to groan and march away from that pla

“What?” Dalmi couldn’t hide the annoyance in her voice. Her brows furrowed, and her lips pursed in a grim line.Right when she woke up to ask him for lunch up to dinner, he was not around. Was he avoiding her?Of course. If not, then he should’ve been the one reaching out to her, right? She shook her head.“I’m sorry, Ma’am...but Mr. Thomson was-““First, you told me he was out for a business meeting and now, your boss went home early?” she sarcastically retorted and blew her cheeks.“Is your boss avoiding me? Tell him he was a freaking idiot!” she yelled before turning her back.No words could express how pissed she is right now. Dalmi believes that she already did everything she could do, but the man seemed uninterested.All she knew right now was that he was infuriating. Her knuckles formed in a ball, gritting her teeth as her heels created noises. People kept on glancing at

“C-Carden?” she gently asked and slowly walked towards him.The man was facing the door, his head bowed a bit, and his hand grips on the plastic bag. He seemed like he still didn’t notice Dalmi, so she took more steps and stopped right beside him.“Why are you waiting here instead of coming...” her words stopped midway when the mana tilted his head. “Casimir?” her brows furrowed.“Dalmi! At last!” Casimir smiled widely. The woman, on the other hand, forced a smile after seeing who he is.She expected her husband to be the one on the door, and to see that it was another man, she felt a bit disappointed.“What are you doing here?” she asked and seized his body. He was wearing the same color of polo and pants that Carden wore earlier, and she could hardly see the difference of their back that she didn’t notice.Casimir, still with a smile on his face, raised the plastic bag at the leve

"When do you plan to stop drinking?" Auton Smith, one of his friends in college asked when he took another shot of vodka.Carden put the shot glass down and picked the bottle again to pour another one. He was inside one of the VIP rooms in a bar at the central, a few blocks away from Jackie's bar.The room was dark, he was sitting on a U-shaped sofa with Auton and Uno on his opposite sides. They were both his friends from College, the first one was a musician, and the other is Farrah Evan's husband and the new CEO of Pacifica Airlines.Although the thick walls separated them from the loud crowd, the distance was not too far and he could still the fun outside the dull room.They had been drinking now for about an hour, or maybe, he is. He had been here, swi

"Are you done spending time with the tenant downstairs?" Carden angrily asked when the woman entered the room.It was almost ten pm, and she should be out by six pm. That alone made Carden as pissed as he is right now.Dalmi sighed and act as if she didn't hear anything. The noisy roads of Manila drained all her energy that she didn't have time to argue about anything right now.She wanted to take a rest. However, she still thinks walking past him without even talking for a second might make him more annoyed, so with small, lazy footsteps, he went towards him and sat beside him.Carden couldn't take his eyes off his wife. He could feel anger surging up in him when he never sees a glint of response in her face.He was expecting her to deny it, but the woman only took a deep breath and lazily unlocked the straps of her shoes.With a blank expression plastered on her face, Dalmi glanced at her. "Can you give me some water?" she said.She thought, she

"Carden let's talk this-" Dalmi stopped her words when she saw what the man was doing.His room was dark and the only source of light was his warm yellow table lamp."W-where are you going?" she asked in a trembling voice.Dalmi thought the space and the throbbing in her heart were already at their worst when Carde yelled at her and walked out while they were talking, but she realized, seeing him changing his clothes with a bag behind him hurt more."W-why are you packing your clothes?"She didn't know that the scenes in soap operas and cliché movies could really happen in real life. She thought those things a wedded couple does like shouting and leaving the house didn't exist in reality because she hasn't seen her parents do that.But now that she was seeing it right in front o her, it felt extremely painful.They had been married for just a month, they haven't even started the story and yet, Carden was already fed up.Carden, st

"We are just friends...why would you stop me when you don't even have the right to voice out your commands?"Carden's words made Dalmi's tears stop from falling. Her jaw dropped as she gaped at him.Those things kept on ringing in her ears like a broken plaque. "What did you...say?" she asked in a shocked voice.She was offended. How dare he say that she was just a friend when she married him?"We are just friends, so, can I go now?" Carden frowned and turned his feet to take his exit when Dalmi held her wrist and pull him back."No! I am your wife Carden! You should follow my requests!""My wife my ass! Didn't you tell Jackie that we are just friends?" He snapped and removed her hand from him.Dalmi's eyes widened. Fear crossed her eyes as her grip loosened, her heart sank, and all the answer questions dawned on her."You...heard it?" she whispered. Her lips quivered, and her eyes won't stop glancing at him as though he would suddenly disappe
