Chapter 69

“I know you won't listen to any of my reasons and explanations,” I remained silent while looking outside the window. Elijah was already driving and we are near to the place we are going.

We ate together earlier. We became silent and cold after how I reacted after seeing a happy family again.

“But I am sincere, Faith. I want to prove to you that,” my hands were crumpled on my lap. I did everything to ignore him as I chose not to respond.

Up until now, all I can feel towards him is hatred. The wounds are too deep to be cured in one snap. But then, I don't know where my pain and this revenge I planned and prepared for four damn years would take me.

We arrived at the place and when I was about to escape him, he quickly grabbed my hands and I once again felt the warmth of those hands. He was able to capture my eyes as we faced each other inside the car. His eyes were begging at me, asking for another chance. I knew from that moment that I was being fragile already. I kne

    Chapter 70 “Is that your guy?” His eyes went at Elijah for a moment before he glanced at me again after we shook hands. I saw Elijah drinking a smoothie while keeping his eyes at me every second. “No,” I replied. He whistled to me, still being playful as if he already knew something about me and Elijah. “I know him. He's the most famous architect now because of that video,” his face frowned for a while and shook his head. I only stayed silent right there. How can't I? I was the one behind the exposure of that video. “Oh, you were mentioned in that video.” Only if we didn't join hands, I would definitely hit his face right now. “We're friends now, Mr. Rivera.” I faked my smile at him and he quickly shook his head, disagreeing with what I just said. “I don't think so. He still has feelings for you, I can see that. He has been looking at you since you arrived here. Trust me, I know the eyes of a man who's madly in love,” he chuckled as he glanced at Elijah from there again.

    Chapter 71I felt what I didn't feel when I kissed Brian. For four years that have passed, I felt like this is what I was longing for, to feel his lips placed into mine. I felt the softness of his lips again and it hasn't changed at all. I remember every detail of the days we kissed. It still feels like this as if those days were only yesterday. My heart was pounding so fast as if I was being chased. I felt his hand traveled on my waist and it flashed back all his touches to me. The warmth of his hands filled my entire body. I felt that volt running through my spine again along with the countless butterflies playing in my stomach. I don't know how long we have been kissing. Because for me, it was long as if time suddenly stopped. It seems like all the people around us became invisible and we were left alone in front of the ocean. All I know is that I don't want to stop kissing him. When he moved his tongue, I responded immediately, accepting his kisses. I want more as if I was so th

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 72

    Chapter 72I went to the restroom just to fix my make up. I had to cover my eyes with it to hide from Elijah that I cried with the conversation that I had with Brian. Until now, I could not erase from my mind his image earlier, wearing all the pain from his eyes. I know that I wrecked him, I ruined him. But I can't do anything aside from apologizing endlessly. I breathed heavily before I opened the door of my hotel room using my extra key card. “You're here,” I paused right in front of the door after I came in when I found Elijah in the kitchen, cooking. He was fucking topless and I can see his bare muscle vividly. If it was not for the apron, I would have seen his abs that feel like stone when you touched. Well, I touched it before and right now, I can't help but to remember all the details in my head. Am I having a dirty mind? Damn it. “What are you cooking?” I asked. I began to search around secretly, making sure if Lily was still there or not. Did she leave already? I feel bad.

    Chapter 73“It's Brian,” My brain just stopped from processing right after Lily brought up Brian's name. “Brian is the father of my child, Faith.” I don't know if my world just crumbled. I was too stunned to speak and I felt like there was a lump stuck in my throat, refraining me to speak. I couldn't move as if I had turned into a statue. I was only staring at Lily who was crying a river right in front of me. How should I react when my brain suddenly froze as well? I could not easily absorb what she just revealed. “I'm sorry, Faith…I didn't mean to…please hear me out,” she was holding both of my cold hands while trying to beg me to forgive her when I don't know what to say and feel with that news. “Wait,” I uttered and pulled my hands away from her. I stood up and created a huge space between us. I began to walk endlessly while biting my nails. I realized that I was already shivering as I absorbed everything that Lily said. I can still hear her crying while I was thinking. I was

    Chapter 74“It's what you think it is, Lily. We're back together,” I don't know how long it took Lily before she was able to process everything. Elijah and I remained standing in front of her with our hands together. I never once thought that this would happen. It is the biggest twist that I never anticipated. “What do you mean that you're back together? I mean, how?” I almost laughed because of her reaction. It was like a replay of how I reacted last night when Lily just appeared and told me that she was pregnant and the father is Brian. I asked the same to her as well. “I thought you hated him?” She asked. Funny, isn't it? Last night, she told me to forgive them without having any idea that Elijah and I reconciled already. “We made up yesterday,” Elijah replied. She tilted her head while looking at the two of us. Her index finger that was pointing at us hover and froze in the air with her mouth left open in awe. “Bloody hell,” she mumbled unbelievably while processing everythi

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 75

    Chapter 75Just like what I anticipated, Brian didn't become a coward to Lily. He took responsibility for their baby that Lily is carrying. I was never wrong when I told Lily that Brian won't turn his back to them. “Are you here to apologize, too?” I smirked because Lily did the same thing when she told me about everything. Judging Brian's face right now, I can tell in one glance that he's sorry.“I feel like I cheated on you even though we're not in a relationship,” it could be like that. But I know that the two of them are surprised with this as well. They were as shocked as me. “I treated you as a best friend, Brian. Besides, why would I be a hindrance to you and Lily? I'm actually glad that it's you and not just any men out there,” that's the truth. I am relieved to know that Brian is the father because I know that Lily and her baby are in good hands. I might be surprised at first, but I think Brian is much better than anybody else. “I actually don't know what to do. Both Lily

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 76

    Chapter 76I was biting my nails the entire time. I could not calm myself down on the passenger seat. Elijah was already driving swiftly, making the car fly for us to reach the hospital as fast as we could. My chest is pounding heavily and it seems like someone was choking me on the neck to the point that I could not breathe properly. “Calm down,” Elijah commented as he kept checking me out there. He held my hand on my lap to stop me from trembling. I thought I killed the love I used to show to my parents. I thought I was just filled with pain, grief and hatred in my chest. I thought I don't care about them anymore. But why do I feel my conscience eating me up right now? Why do I feel anxious and terrified? As soon as we stopped in the hospital, I didn't waste any time and I didn't wait for Elijah to open the door for me. I quickly got out of the car and rushed inside the hospital to look for my mother. Do you know what I was thinking? What if my mother died and we haven't fixed ou

    Chapter 77“Chemotherapy is optional. It is your choice to make, but it is what I recommend right now,” the doctor said to us. My father's eyes were swollen. I caught him crying last night while we were all asleep. Yes, we spent the night in the hospital last night as I didn't want to leave my mother's side with her condition. “Would it not worsen her condition?” Elijah asked. I was a bit dubious with what the doctor was suggesting. “Is there no other way?” My father now asked. We are all aware that it would make my mother weak. “Medicines? But it would not extend her life, too. Pain relievers are the only thing that we can offer,” meaning to say, chemotherapy is the only choice we have. I washed both of my hands on my face, unable to decide for my Mom. If I can meet Genie or all the gods, I will ask them one thing: to heal my mother. Just this once, can God please grant my wish? I never asked for so much even before. This is the first time that I am asking for something big. I onl

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Epilogue

    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

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 106

    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

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 103

    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

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 101

    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.

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 100

    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
