Chapter 44

“Let's divorce, Elijah. I want a divorce,”

When I married Elijah, I accepted my fate. I know that it would be tough and cruel—so far from the marriage that other people have. I don't even know if I should consider ourselves as couples when everything is complicated. We didn't marry each other out of love. Elijah married me out of his wrath. I became a martyr from the beginning of this marriage with a strong hope of mine that Elijah's wrath will melt down in exchange of love and this marriage will actually work out.

I thought I could do it. I thought the divorce that the people around me keep telling me would never be my choice. However, in one snap, everything just changed. I ran out of love and everything. I poured everything so much that I even lost my baby—and myself.

Silence invaded the two of us. My eyes remained at Elijah whose world probably broke down after hearing that. I witnessed how stunned he was. He's definitely not expecting to hear that from me. But you k

    Chapter 45“Faith, please! Don't leave me!” He hugged me once again when I was already on the veranda of our house. I closed my eyes and endured the pain of seeing Elijah beg. “Don't do this, Faith…don't leave me, I'm begging you.” His voice was so broken. He was begging me like a kid telling his mother to stay and not leave him alone on the streets. My heart was aching. It was being squeezed so much that it bled. The more Elijah stops me from leaving, the harder it becomes for me to leave. “Let go of me,” I was so weak that I couldn't speak louder anymore. “I was wrong, okay? I admit that. Please, don't leave me, Faith. Please, please, please, Faith. Don't do thi—”“Let go of me, Elijah!” I exclaimed and pushed him away from me. I saw even more how much it shattered him into a million pieces but I remained firm in front of him. He shook his head and even cupped my face gently. “I love you, okay? I love you so much, Faith. I was not just into myself when I did those! I love you,

    Chapter 46“Faith,” “Faith,” My brows crossed when I saw the woman's figure standing on the balcony. She was so bright that it blinds me from seeing her face. But then, I would never forget that angelic voice. “Are you in pain, Faith?” She asked again. The woman walked towards me and my lips parted when I finally saw her face. “F-Freya?” My eyes almost bawled out. She drew that softest smile of hers that people used to love about her. It's been a long time since I last saw it. I've been yearning to witness that again. “Is that you, Freya?” My voice almost broke with so much happiness melting my heart. “You've been through a lot, Faith.” She muttered. I nodded at her as my tears escaped my eyes. Am I really seeing Freya? She's dead, but why do I see her right now as if she's alive? “I know that you will make it because that's who you are,” “I didn't kill you, Freya. I fought for my life, too.” She gently shed the tears that were escaping from my eyes as her smile widened even

    Chapter 474 years later…“T-These are my d-designs, Ms. Faith.” Her voice was shivering along with her hands as she distributed all the copies to the meeting. I didn't bother to hold it, I only glanced at it. The first page was already a mess, the next ones are probably the worst. “Didn't I tell all of you what I want for the next collection?” None of them dared to break the ice. They all kept their mouths shut. No one crossed my eyes as well as I stared at each of them in the meeting room. They are avoiding my blank eyes as if they would turn into a stone if they look at me. “What's this?” The woman stepped back when I went back, eyeing her. Her lips were trembling so hard that she couldn't make a word. “I…I-It’s m-my designs, Ms. F-Fa—” I threw all her drawings in the middle of the long table. I even heard some of the gasps. I stood up from my seat and faced her. “Tell me. What did I tell you that I want?” I didn't let go of her in my sight. She looks pale and I can see how

    Chapter 48“What do you want, baby?” The man asked the little child that was probably at the age of 5. The girl’s hair was braided. Her milky skin was shining along with the huge smile on her lips that seems to be glued and would never waver a bit. “I want the milk, Dad!” The girl exclaimed with excitement painted on her face. “You chose the right one. You have been eating and drinking unhealthy food,” the woman that was her mother, I supposed, said. I couldn't take my eyes off them. They look happy together as if they don't have any problem at all. How do they manage to be happy? Why are there people who can be this happy while I couldn't? This happens everytime I see a happy family around me. I couldn't help but ask why can't I have that kind of family? Why didn't I receive the same love these parents are investing in their child? And most of all, why do I have to lose my child? If I didn't lose that baby, would I not be here? Would I live the good life that I always wished for?

    Chapter 49“Ms. Faith, we have a problem. Two of our models had an emergency and they said they wouldn't be able to make it today,” if I was the same old Faith, I would definitely panic and be nervous. All of them stopped working when one of my employees in my company here said that a bit loudly. Today is the day that I have been waiting for. Another runway of mine will be done and I will not let anyone ruin this for me. It must be me who should ruin the lives of the people that I am expecting to come again. My brows simply arched at her. “And so?” I heard how they were flustered with how I responded. I was wearing my blank face at her, but my eyes’ sharpness couldn't be hidden. They have no idea what I will do, it's inevitable. “Ms. Faith,” I heard my old secretary called my name beside me. I didn't look at her as I kept my eyes at the man in front of me.“Is that my problem? Why did I even hire you if you don't know how to do problem solving?” They started to murmur around and

    Chapter 50Elijah's POV “This is what I only want to say tonight,” I was flustered. I couldn't even move a single finger while I was staring at the woman that I have been waiting for. Her eyes shifted at me, and I knew that a lot of things changed. Her eyes that used to be filled with profound love, kindness, and softness suddenly turned into cold and blank eyes. I have been coming to her company's runway each year, hoping to see her again and make it up to her. But now that she is already in front of me and I finally hear that voice that I was yearning for, I lost all my words. My brain suddenly froze from functioning and the only thing I could hear was the deafening beating of my chest, racing. She looks so beautiful, just like before. It was what runs in my head. Her long hair is gone, but her short hair suits her a lot. She lost weight, different from the old her. “I'm back,” that's what she only said as she handed the mic back to the emcee and left the stage with Brian, the

My eyes were pinned somewhere in my hotel room after I drank the glass of water straightly. “She told him that she wants a house and she wants him to design her house,” Brian repeated when I couldn't utter a single word. I don’t know why I said that earlier. I should have not told him that. But then, I wanted to have a connection to start my plan to ruin him. “Are you out of your mind? Why would you do that?!” Lily was being hysterical all over again. She was the most shocked and affected by what I just did. “Well, I was expecting Elijah to follow him around. He's desperate, I swear.” I heard Brian chuckle. “I'm not out of my mind,” I replied when I was able to pull myself back to my senses. “Make your enemy closer, remember? I need a connection to make him suffer,” I filled my glass with water again and drank it s

    Chapter 52*Flashback*“You can't be like this forever, Faith.” Lily said while peeling the apple for me. I remained looking nowhere and had no plan to do anything else. It has been a month since we left and went here in New York. I thought I would be able to get up on my own once I left, but it's not what is happening right now. I know that I am already being a burden to my friends, but I couldn't find the courage to stand up again and continue this hellish life of mine. “How will you make them pay if you're being like this?” None of their words succeed in waking me up and pulling me back together. I heard how Lily sighed when her phone rang. “I'll come back,” she said before I heard her footsteps leaving my room. The moment she left, my eyes just landed on the knife she was using to peel the apple. It looked so sharp that I found it beautiful. “I'm tired,” so much tired. I am more than just exhausted from all the fighting. My hand was trembling when I grabbed the knife. My th

    Epilogue2 years later…“Levi?” My brows were crossed when my secretary, Elise, said that. “Yes, Ms. Faith. The boy said that he needs you right now,” now, my brows just arched. This is a deja vu to me. Levi always calls me when he is in trouble. I shook my head before I stood up from my swivel chair, grabbed my coat and keys, before I leave. “Alright. I'll continue the work tomorrow. You go home early if you want, Elise.” I smiled at her before I marched out of my office. It's been two years since the chaos in our lives finally ended. After that night, justice was served to my mother, Freya, and to Marie who was raped and harrassed. Though she underwent therapy for a year with all the traumas, but right now, she's living her life. Just like what I promised, I am paying for her education. “Where are you, baby?” Elijah asked over the phone with his husky voice.“Stop seducing me,” I mumbled and chuckled. I parked my car at the University where Levi is studying before I came insid

    Chapter 107 “You know what, I sometimes think that you're friends with God,” Joaquin chuckled unbelievably. “No matter how we tried to kill you, you always survive. You even tried killing yourself and yet you're still alive,” he added. He stood up as he hid his hands inside his pockets. “But not today, Faith… you're gonna die now, and I'll make sure of that.” Am I gonna die here? Is this the reason why I couldn't die when I asked multiple times to die? Only to be killed by these two psychos? “I'm not scared of death, Joaquin.” The side of my lips curled up. He can threaten me with all things, but not with death. “Why do you think I attempted suice countless times? Death, that's what I want. And if you will kill me today, then I shall be grateful because you will fulfill a wish of mine,” I might die here, but who cares? I kept asking for this, and maybe the God above is finally granting my wish. Perhaps, this is where my life ends—where all the pain ends. If my death would end

    Chapter 106 Elijah's POV “Can you fucking sit, Elijah?! You're not helping!” Lily exclaimed. I kept walking repeatedly right in front of them. Faith left earlier and until now, she's not yet coming back. It's already dark, for god's sake! “Bro, maybe she's just taking a long time dealing with that ass. Calm yourself down,” Lucas commented. “She's not answering my calls,” I already called her so many times and she didn't answer. It was only ringing but she wasn't answering it. “Well, perhaps she's still with the client,” Brian said and shrugged. “Her secretary cannot be reached,” Lily mentioned. She already looks frustrated as well. “I don't feel good about this,” her father said. I could tell that he's already overthinking right now. “They are here,” Horan said from the veranda. I was the one who quickly went out of the living room to see Faith with my own eyes. I was kinda able to breathe in relief. “See? I told you, she's fine.” Lucas said and let out a chuckle.However, w

    Chapter 105 “AHHHHH!” I screamed all my rage as I threw the furniture on the screen as the detective bid a goodbye to us. I was shaking in anger. I didn't stop from throwing the furniture around, trying to lessen my pain and hatred. “HE'S A FUCKING BASTARD! HE KILLED FREYA AND MY MOTHER!” I yelled as I ignored the tears that were dripping down on my face. I feel like all the pain and rage that I felt since the death of Freya was gathered inside me. “Faith, stop!” Elijah was so strong that he was able to capture me in his arms, refraining me from throwing another piece of furniture on the ground. As I met his eyes, I felt like I came back to my senses. And there I was, feeling feeble once again. My tears invaded my eyes until my knees folded on the ground. I let go of the furniture from my grasp and began to cry a river. None of them dared to approach me. Only Elijah was able to come near me. I feel so miserable. That bastard ruined my life the moment he tried killing me and F

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 104

    Chapter 104 Elijah and I were left standing there as we both watched the detective leave. A minute later, I saw Lucas who came back inside our car earlier. “He's calling,” Elijah said as his phone rang and I saw Horan calling. “He left,” Elijah uttered over the phone. “Stay there. Adrian is activating the tracking device,” Horan said on the line. The call was loudspeaker. “I'm sorry for what happened. I'm gonna clean this,” a real waiter came to us and immediately cleaned the mess that we purposely created in order to plant the tracking device for the detective. When the waiter finished cleaning the mess, the device was finally activated. “It's working. You can now leave, the detective is back at the station.” I was able to finally breathe when he said that. All my worries fade away in one snap. “Thank God,” I muttered. The strength I pulled in earlier vanished my body. Now, I felt weak after acting tough in front of the detective. “We should go now,” Elijah said as he quick

    Chapter 103“Are you sure you can do this?” Elijah asked the next day. Today, we're going to do the plan that we talked about yesterday. I would not deny that I feel nervous. How can't I? The detective was sharp. If he is really the culprit, then he would anticipate everything that we could do. I can't mess this up, we can't. If we succeed with this mission, we will have a chance to finally find Marie. “Of course,” I said. I gave all my best to hide my fear in front of him. I knew that if he saw how terrified I was, he would not let me do the mission. “Don't worry about me, Elijah. We have to do this in order to save Marie,” I said as I fixed his collar. I chose to look at it rather than cross his gaze that was stuck at me. I didn't want him to catch my real emotions. “This is not just to save Marie, this is also to end this war,” he added, followed by his heavy sigh as he sat on the bed, looking frustrated and bothered. He's worried, I could tell that in one glance. He doesn't

    Chapter 102 “It's not his real voice,” Adrian said while he kept repeating the voice of the culprit. I was able to record it during the call and from the video he sent. I heard Lucas chuckled. “This bastard is really smart. He's not gonna let us find out so easily who he is,” “What do we do?” I asked. “I have a plan,” we all stopped when Detective Horan arrived with some of his men following him inside. They all looked exhausted but they are still doing their job to find Marie. Lily whistled. “Interesting. Let's talk about it,” “You should take a rest for a while. There's food in the dining room. You guys should eat first,” I might be so eager and in a hurry to find Marie as soon as possible, but I also care for their health. In order for them to look for Marie, they must have enough strength to do so. We let everyone rest for the meantime. Elijah and I went to our room just to spend some of our time together. We were back on the bed, cuddling, while staring at the empty ceilin

    Chapter 101 With the days passed and we still had nothing to find Marie, I tried distracting myself for my own sake. But it is just really hard to do that, especially that I see all of them working so hard to look for her. “It's good to sit here early in the morning while drinking coffee,” Lily muttered. It's 6 am and we are both on the veranda, watching the peaceful view of the garden in front of us. There was still fog that covered the place a bit and I could still feel the cold that naturally comes every morning. There were no people working to find Marie yet. Well, this day is just about to begin. “Well, you're drinking milk.” I reminded her and we both chuckled with that. She was caressing her belly, which is already huge now. The aroma of my coffee is filling the entire veranda. I do love mornings like this, but I will love it more if Marie isn't in the hands of the culprit. I don't know what will happen today, but I hope we can find something that will lead us to Marie.

    Chapter 100After the video was sent to us, I hired more people to look for Marie. Detective Horan didn't let his guards down, too. His entire team is working their fingers to the bone to find Marie. The video that we watched kept playing in my head. That bastard punched Marie and it crumpled my chest all the time. She did nothing wrong in life to deserve things like this. “I should have just come with her,” I said with so many regrets. I should have just disregarded my meetings so I could be with her. If I didn't let her enroll by herself, she would not be in that culprit’s hand. She would not experience that kind of thing in her life.“It happened for a reason,” Elijah said while holding my hand. We are outside the clinic of my Psychiatrist. I am here for another check up and I would not be surprised if she says that I am not getting any better. I have been stressed with everything and I could not even make a good sleep. “What reason?” I glanced at him bitterly.I don't see any
