Chapter 60: Miserable
"What the hell, man! You messed up real bad!" Auton, the loudest man among the tree stood up and pointed at Carden with a can of beer in his hand.
Carden glued his eyes on the tabletop. They were in the bar counter of his penthouse. When Dalmi left their house a week ago, he
thought it would be alright. Dalmi loves him that much and he wouldn't be able to resist him so she'll probably come back the next day, but three days, a week passed by without her in their penthouse.
She didn't even bother to reply or even read his messages. Jack wouldn't answer his calls and texts even if he bombarded him, and Brooke's replies were too cold.
Was it supposed to be this hard? he asked himself.
He was used to being alone

"Ew, girl! What if you miss your husband and then rape me?" Jackie scrunched up his face as he pulled all the sheets towards him.Dalmi, on the other hand, glowered on him and pulled the opposite. They had been arguing now for minutes because the woman was insisting that she wanted to sleep beside him."We do this way back and college! Why are you suddenly so affected? We are just going to sleep side-by-side!" she exclaimed.When they were teens, they used to sleep without issues but now, Jackie seemed so weird. He kept on insisting for her to sleep on the couch or in the guest room."We are not college anymore! I don't want to be with someone who wakes up with dried saliva!" as if he was about to choke, stood up and pulled all the blankets, leaving Dalmi with nothing but the bed behind her."Wow! Coming from you who rolls on the bed and kicks me!""That was why we need to sleep in separate rooms from now one! I don't want to be with you in the same bed

"Why do you look like sh*t?" Dalmi bent her knees and peeked through his side. She stopped right in front of him, but the man kept on mumbling things in his side, refusing to look at her.Her eyes squinted to the messy bar counter. Numerous bottles of liquors are on the tabletop, two bottles are on the ground, and there was a shot glass beside Carden's foot."You really drank all of this? Are you insane?" she repeated. Now, Carden slowly turned his head. As if he saw a ghost, his eyes widened."W-wife? Why are you here? Aren't you angry at me?" he asked and removed his arms from his knees.He poured all his attention to the woman whom he wasn't able to see for almost a week. Dalmi was wearing a plaid gray polo and skirt with a white inner. Her hair hanged loosely on her back, and her eyes directed at him."You...you are not angry anymore?" he immediately stood and went close to her. One foot was standing on the ground, and his other knee still on the floor,

Dalmi sighed in relief when she closed the door of her room. Her hands searched the wall to find the switches, and as soon as the room lit up, her eyes dropped on her bed.She had been gone for a week, and she could remember leaving it in a mess but right now, the sheets were completely fixed. She walked towards it and sat at the edge. Her weak hands crawled through the soft sheets, and her eyes wandered around the whole room.She laid her back and spread her arms widely, consuming all the spaces on the bed.Nothing has changed. Only that, they are no longer fine about each other. She used to be here alone at the beginning of their relationship, but now it felt like the feeling of sleeping alone was...too foreign.Why did they suddenly turn like this? she didn't know. If Carden didn't do that, would they be fine up until now?She lifted herself until she reached the pillows and closed her eyes, thinking about Carden's face earlier made her so perplexed. She

"I'm sorry," Carden whispered as he kissed Dalmi's forehead after he laid her on the bed.Her pale face seemed so tired, and Carden could feel that it was because of the stress he gave her. He wanted her to forgive him. But seeing how tired she was, he thought he'd just settle for her treatment until she could finally do it.He knew the woman loved her as much as he did. She just can't seem to how it. Or that was what he thinks of.He pushed aside all the scattered strands of her hair away from her face and once again, dropped a soft kiss on her lips before he walked towards the door and turned the lights off, leaving only the warm yellow light from the night lamp and laid his back at the other side of the bed, facing her.The man, no matter how much he drank all night was awakened when he saw his wife in front of her. Maybe she couldn't forgive him yet, but he would never allow her to leave the house again even if she gets furious. Just the fact that Dalmi was s

"I can freaking drive and go to my office by myself," Dalmi said in an irritated voice and put down her spoon.Today is a Sunday, ad Carden had been insisting that they should use only one car and he'll drive. He reasoned, that it was both to save energy and gas since they are going in the same company."But I can also drive. Besides, you are my wife!" Carden replied, his back leaning against the chair as he observed Dalmi's expressions. A sheepish smirk plastered on his face. The woman couldn't stop herself but groan in frustration and rolled her eyes."Here you are again with your labels! We have cars, I pay for my gas and I drive for myself. What is the point of arguing about this when we could just mind our own business?"Dalmi couldn't understand what is happening to his husband. She had never seen him this pushy and it was weirding her out.She came back to their penthouse last weekend, and the man kept on bugging her. There was a time when she w

"Was the CEO really on the marketing department?""His wife was there!""I thought they were relatives! They resembled some features on their faces!"The buzzing sound from the chatters outside the fully opened door of the marketing department made Dalmi's head turn away from Carden.She took a peek at the people's faces. Some of her office mates from the same room stopped working and had their eyes on the man standing not too far from her.Some continued working, and the other people from different departments obviously kept on walking back and forth as they peeked at the glass walls.Dalmi's eyes landed back on the man in a black suit. His eyes fixed on her, his hair brushed up and was neatly done, and a paper bag on his hand. Without taking any hesitation and shame from other people around him, Carden strode the way towards his wife who's now gaping at him.A small smile crept on his face as he lifted the paper bag up to the level of her eyes an

Dalmi jumped off the high stool and grabbed Brooke's arm."Jackie will never take day-offs, Brooke," she said and tilted her head."What is happening between you two? Is there any problem?" she asked in a concerned tone.The last time she came here, her best friend was teaching her how to mix drinks. Days after that, she came back only to see Brooke's blank stare with the absence of her best friend."I told you, Dalmi. If you came here for him then you could find him in his house. I need to go," she replied in an irritated voice and pulled her arm away from her.Dalmi rolled her eyes and went back to her seat as she reached for her phone to call Jackie.She had never seen that man leave his bar for a day unless he was sick! And if he was, then Brooke should not be here and be with him.She shook her head and put her phone in her ear, waiting for Jackie to answer the call. As if she had dirt on her nails, she busied herself on cleaning it usin

"But I see you are fine, so why are you caging yourself in this place?" she furrowed her brows and leaned towards him.She roamed her eyes around the whole room. Jackie's place was way larger than her room in their penthouse but was just the same as on their mansion.His room was filled with baby blue colors including his furniture, sheets, curtains.He said he wanted to turn it into an old rose one, but he was afraid his dad would kill him that's why he turned it to the second color that he loved.What Dalmi liked the most about his room was the fur carpet lying on the areas near his bed. Every time she'd jump off it, she'd never bother to search for her fluffy slippers because the comfort of the fur fabric was enough.But then, she realized she couldn't feel it earlier. She immediately sat and tried to touch the floor with her feet, only to confirm that the carpet was replaced into a rough one, and also, in a darker shade."Why the hell you removed th
