Four ( Baby you chose the pain )

Marrisa Bonifacio

The wedding is finally over, this is the best day of my life, getting married to the man I've always wanted, isn't that the best thing ever?

I know right…..

Though Robert has been frowning for the whole of today but I know he will get over it

''Sweetheart come here you need to take pictures" Robert's mum pulled my hand and dragged me to the family where they were gathered

"Robert come here you need to take pictures with your wife" His mum beckoned on him

"Mum I'm sorry she can take pictures with you people"

"Robert….."

"Mum it's fine let him be" I cooled patting his mum on the shoulder, I saw Rose smirk from where she's standing.

The bitch has been clinging onto Robert for the whole of today and that alone is pissing me off, and the worst part of it is that Robert is tagging along

"Excuse me, mum," I said to Robert's mum and walked some distance away from the crowd. I stood by the side watching Robert and Rose

It's clear to me that Rose is doing all this so she could get to me and see my reaction, she knows just how much I love Robert and she's using her closeness to him to get to me, she wants to show off but I'm not giving her the reaction she's seeking for

I look away, this place is already becoming suffocating for me to withstand, I turn to go when suddenly I bumped into someone

"Mum….come on you startled me.." I hissed holding onto my chest

"I'm sorry sweetheart, I noticed you were staring hard at Robert and that lady, sweetheart, who's she?"

"Ohhh…erm….mum you don't have to worry about her probably she's just a friend"

"A friend….?" 

"Ahh….yes mum a friend"

"You know what…" I said holding her by the shoulder, but I know mum she's probably suspecting something and I don't want that to happen

I don't want her to see Robert for who he really is…, I believe we can fix whatever the problem is…..with time

"Mum you don't have to worry too much, I promise I will be fine"

"Alright take care" She kissed my cheeks and went back to the family members

"Mmmm…." I breathed out

"That was close" I whispered to myself and walk towards our car, the driver saw me and rushed with the car door, 

"Thanks" 

I entered the car and rested my head on the back seat, my mind clean and wild with thoughts

This isn't going to be easy as I thought

"Baby you chose the pain…" My conscience reminded

"I love him…"

"Then deal with it"  I sighed and closed my eyes, 

Minutes later, I heard the car door open 

"What are you doing here," I ask seeing Rose seated beside me comfortably, with Robert in the front

"Excuse me, Robert, what's Rose doing here?"

"I owe you no answer, we're married, you got what you wanted, now let me because I owe you no loyalty"

I balled my fist in anger and turned to look at Rose, only for the bitch to act like she's the boss's wife

I sighed and laid my head back on the car seat

I could hear Robert telling the driver, to drive us home

The drive to my new home was suffocating, with Rose and Robert chatting and laughing in the car, both of them acting oblivious of my presence I was dying in silence, praying for us to be home, 

Finally, we drove into Robert's mansion, the driver packed safely and Robert came out and pulled the car door open for Rose, while I struggle to get out in my wedding dress

"Mam…" The driver helped me with the car door while I struggled with my heavy wedding gown

"Can I help you?" 

"No it's fine," I said to the driver, bet he noticed what's happening already cause Robert and Rose are already ahead of me with their hands linked together 

I started trailing behind them, with my heels making a clicking sound on the floor, 

I can only say Robert has done well in the past two years, he has really achieved a whole lot in a short time, his mansion is spectacular and his taste is quite unique

We were now in the room, I don't know for some reason, Rose is sitting down on our bed and that's quite disrespectful for me cause I'm here too and our room is supposed to be our privacy

I packed my bags into the closet, and entered the bathroom, to take away the wedding dress since it's getting uncomfortable already but I really want to talk to Robert about Rose, 

I cleared my throat and faced the both of them, they were getting all lovey-dovey on the bed especially Rose whos trying hard to piss me off by kissing Robert deeply without a break

"Robert……." I called 

"Robert……"

"Rissa talk I fucking have ears"

"Don't you think you're disrespecting our bedroom, for peter's sake we just got married today, I'm here and yet you're getting all lovey with another woman, isn't that unfair?"

He huff and pulled away from the kiss

"Ohh…you mean it was fair for you to get married to me even when I pleaded with you not to…"

"Robert I love you, I love you so much and you know that besides your parents want us to be together, you needed me to own your family's business''

"I know I needed to get married but I never said it's you, I love Rose and wanted to get married to her"

"But you said she's only with you cause of the business deal you people had"

"Yes but I fell for her in the process" 

"Listen, Robert, we can make this work, stop this thing you're doing"

"You're joking aren't you?"

"No, I'm not"

"Now you listen Rissa, I've been doing this even before you came into the picture, and I won't stop it not for a nobody like you, so better get used to it"

"Robert…."

"I'm done with this discussion"

"Come on Robert…"

"You heard him, back off" The spout glaring at me

"Come here baby" She pulled Robert's face and smashed her lips on his…I couldn't watch anymore, I ran out of the room

It was night already, my first wedding night I'd been in one of the rooms in Robert's house waiting for Rose to leave so I can go sleep in our room, but nothing is happening

I was tired of waiting, I need to go see if Rose is gone, I stood up from the bed I was laying on and walk out of the room closing the door along, 

I walk towards our room and stood by the door when I started hearing sounds, I closed my eyes trying to calm my nerves

Slowly I pulled the doorknob, 

"Fuck baby"

"Harder…."

"Ohhhhh….fuck..yeah"

"Yes sweetie moan my name" 

My leg felt stuck to the ground, isn't this supposed to be our wedding night

No…no…..this wasn't my dream of my first wedding night, the whole room started going in circle, I tried to hold onto something but I could, I felt myself lowering to the ground, my eyes were closing 

My knees finally gave in weakly to the ground, 

"Robert…." I whispered as darkness took place
