Her Husband's Wrath Chapter 9
Chapter 9I don't know how long I was already looking at myself in the mirror. I just took a bath but was not dressed to go out. I decided to stay here for today and finalize the designs of the dresses for my clients. I exhaled while I couldn't take my eyes off the bruise from Elijah's hand last night. It has turned gray already and people will surely notice it at one glance. He indeed pressed my arm firmly last night and I didn't have the strength to stop him. I went downstairs, having no energy left in me. As usual, our dining table is filled with tons of food but the chairs are empty. This is not a new film to me. Each day that I live with Elijah, I get used to it. “Did he do that?” My eyes were lifted up at the same maid who asked me again and didn't fail to notice the bruise on my left arm. I quickly pulled my shirt and tried hiding it. It was useless though, she already saw it. “We fought,” I chuckled with my own words. How can't I? Isn't it funny? We do not even talk prop

Chapter 10I know it sounds crazy, but the cemetery gives peace more than the usual places. I have been there, inside my car, while I was staring at the exact grave of Freya that I can clearly see from here. I woke up early—or should I say that I dressed up early because I didn't really get to sleep last night after what happened. I was crying a river all night, and that is not a surprise anymore. I intentionally left the house before I could even cross Elijah's sight again. The more he becomes aggressive and obnoxious, the more I find him perilous for me. I blew air heavily before I decided to get out of the car and walk towards Freya. Every step that I make gathers all the daggers deeply pierced on my chest. “How are you, Freya?” I found a little smile on my lips. “Sorry, I came empty handed.” I chuckled. I was supposed to head straight to my office but ended up being here. “I was thinking, if the accident didn't happen, would all of this happen to me? Perhaps my life won't be

Chapter 11“He's drunk again?” Marie asked as we both helped each other until we brought Elijah to his room. I didn't know that he was this heavy. Damn it. “The bar called me,” I replied. I had to breathe deeply as soon as we were able to throw him on the bed. “What do we do?” I glanced at her and she's worried again. Marie looks younger than me. I somehow wonder how she ended up working as a maid here. “You should go back to sleep. I'll take care of him,” I said when I noticed that she was already in her pajamas. “Are you sure, Ms. Faith?” I nodded as my response before she left us alone there. She was still kinda hesitant to leave me alone with Elijah who's drunk. I started to remove his shoes and socks and made sure that he would be comfortable on the bed. I never saw Elijah this miserable not until my sister passed away. I swear, Elijah was the most gentleman I've known in my entire life. However, that Elijah is gone now. It remains as a shadow of the past. I heaved another

Chapter 12Elijah’s POV“I’ll see you next time,” the woman kissed me and even lingered her seducing fingers on my neck as she turned her back, leaving me with her eyes glued to me like a leech.I don’t even remember her name. In fact, I don’t remember the names of the women I have sex with even though I brought them all to my place. “Should I come with you until you reach your room? You really don't look fine,” my eyes were stolen when Faith arrived with the maid that seems to be always around her a lot. I remained tough, cold, and heartless as I glanced at her. Her eyes weren’t at me. She was looking at the woman who was just about to leave. Wearing my keenest eyes, I made sure to watch her reaction after seeing another woman in our house. Sadness, pain, but unsurprised. Those are everything that invaded her eyes the moment she saw another woman.“N-No, I'm fine.” She simply shook her head as she closed her eyes deeply. My brows almost crossed as I watched her closely. She looks

Chapter 13“Do you like Faith? Are you fucking in love with my wife, Lucas?” That time, I didn't let him escape me. I cornered him with my sharp eyes at him, squeezing him until he admitted it by himself. “Shut up, Elijah. Do not change the subject! I came here for Fai—”“And why? Why did you come for her right away after you heard from that doctor about her condition?” When he wasn't able to answer me, I knew that he did. He likes Faith. He's in love with her and we were all too blind and naive not to notice it. “I don't care if you like her or not, Lucas. But just so you know, she is my wife now.” Our eyes remained together for a few seconds more before I distanced myself from him. “Take him out,” I said to the bodyguards and turned my back to him. I didn't look back and headed straight at Faith's room. She was still sleeping when I came back. I didn't know how long I would stay standing at the door while I couldn't take any step towards her with my conscience making me soft o

Chapter 14“Why are you acting like you care for me?”The deafening silence invaded the entire dining area. Elijah's eyes were pinned on me and that's the same for me. I was holding the spoon firmly in my grasp, squeezing it, while waiting for Elijah's reply. “Nevermind,” I said and was the one who broke our gazes together when he didn't answer. “Because you're sick,” that made me pause again, the moment he said that. I found his eyes still on me, having no emotions at all. “We're still married in papers, you are my responsibility. Do not expect anything,” perhaps that was the answer I needed the most. A clarification with his actions. I have no words to say. He looked away and continued eating while I was stuck there, looking at him. Once again, an excruciating pain attacked my chest. I didn't say anything anymore and tried all my best to swallow the food even though his words weakened me. The next day, we were back to how we normally started this marriage. Elijah isn't speaking

Chapter 15“Elijah, slow down.” I said when he was not walking with me anymore, he was dragging me, taking his huge steps. He was not facing me. I can only see his back, but I could feel and see how furious he is up until now. We left the party with the scene he created. I do appreciate how he shielded me, stood up for me from that unknown man when I was getting drunk already. “Elijah!” I exclaimed and pulled my hand out of his grasp when I almost trip on my heels. He's dragging me so swiftly that I could not take my steps slowly! “S-Stop,” I uttered, chasing my breath. “I will trip if you continue dragging me,” I bit my lower lip as I looked at my feet. It's already hurting because of these heels.“Get in,” it didn't just come out of his mouth, it was a command. Our car parked in front of us and I remained standing there. “Look, I know that you're mad, Elij—”“I said get in,” he said, firmer than earlier. It made me froze. “Elij—”“I SAID GET IN THE FUCKING CAR!” My lips part

Chapter 16“Are you sure you can go?” Marie asked when I was about to leave the house for another day. She still looks worried after witnessing what happened last night. “I'm fine,” I replied.“You always say that,” I heard her sobbed, which made me freeze from coming into the car. She looked away from me as if she was stopping her tears from dripping. “But we both know that you're not fine,” she added. I crumpled my hand and refrained myself from crying. Her words hit me so much. It penetrated my bones. “I'll mean it soon,” I said, without any assurance that I would. I left her with my forced little smile where there was not even a light of joy. I shut my eyes firmly as the car began to move. I haven't seen Elijah this morning. Marie told me that he left early, which is probably a good thing for me. I don't know how I am supposed to face him. I wasn't even able to have a good sleep right now. My head was flashing back how he slapped me that I didn't see coming. I know that he'

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
Her Husband's Wrath Chapter 107
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
Her Husband's Wrath Chapter 105
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
Her Husband's Wrath Chapter 102
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
