Chapter 92

“Are you sure, Faith? Do you know what you’re saying?” Elijah folded one of his knees just to go closer to me. Our height equaled because of that. He placed his hands on my arms while I glanced at him with no strength left in me.

At this point, I could not find any courage to fight. I could not find any strength for me to live. I know that I have been here before. This is the ocean where I almost died from drowning. However, perhaps this is a different one. Because never in my life have I felt this empty. Never in my life have I felt this tired and feeble. I feel like I can no longer walk. I feel like I can no longer breathe.

“Faith, if we stop the investigation, it means that you will close the case without catching the culprit. I thought you want to get the justice that Freya and your mother deserve? Are you really letting that bastard go?” Lily said, trying to persuade me.

They are both trying to convince me to continue this battle against the culprit that we could not

    Chapter 93 “She's losing too much blood, Elijah!” Lily. I could still hear them while my sight was starting to turn blurry. I could still recognize their faces who were with me. I could feel myself being moved because of the road. My world was spinning but I couldn't feel any physical pain. “Faith, can you hear me? Stay with me! We're near the hospital!” I felt how Lily shakes my body to make me stay conscious. However, I knew that I was losing my consciousness already. My eyes were starting to feel heavy as if they wanted to sleep. “Fuck!” I heard Elijah mutter a curse. “You'll make it, Faith.” Brian said and tied a handkerchief again on my bleeding wrist. Am I hallucinating? Are they really here? I didn't know what was happening anymore. Am I dying? Because if I am, then I would be grateful. “Hey, hey!” Lily's voice filled my ear. She slapped my cheeks a bit to wake me up when my eyes were about to close already. “I-I’m tired,” I managed to utter when I didn't even kno

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 94

    Chapter 94 The day I woke up from attempting suicide was the day I was able to climb the mountain of death again. I had reasons to live even though I still wish to just die. Days had passed since I woke up. I was diagnosed with depression so I had to stay in the hospital for the meantime with the psychiatrist that they gave to me. It was a severe depression but gradually, I was able to erase in my head the choice that I should never consider: death. The psychiatrist gave me anti-depressant to take. I would not say that it's working on me because each day that is passing, I still feel like dying. Everytime that I see Elijah, that's when I am reminded that I have to live for this man. He was consistent with me. He never leaves my side even though he has work. He makes sure that I will eat and I can see how much he's trying to make me happy. He's always here to tell me different stories about how his day went and the things that I am missing. He's also pushing me to speak even just a

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 95

    Chapter 95I didn't know how to break the silence. None of them dared to break it either. Marie? Can she really do that? Can she betray me? We have been together in this house. She has been with me all along. She was there when I had no one to hold onto. She cried with me and she mourned with me. My lips curled up as I shook my head. “No way,” that was firm. I don't believe it. Everyone would betray me, but not Marie. She won't do that to me because she cares for me. I saw it from her eyes through those days that she didn't leave me. I know that her emotions were real! “Faith,” from the tone of Lucas' voice, I know that he's telling me that Marie is really the culprit. But no, I refused to believe that. “It's her,” Lily uttered. She didn't step back as I threw my gaze at her, unlike Brian who couldn't even give me a single glance. “We're as surprised as you. But that is already a huge evidence to put her behind the bars,” I let out a bitter chuckle and kept shaking my head. “No,

  • Her Husband's Wrath    Chapter 96

    Chapter 96 Ever since Marie left the house, I knew that there was a big part of me that was taken away. I felt like I was incomplete and the house suddenly felt empty without her presence. It's been a week since I went to the jail to see her. Every night, I couldn't erase her face on the roof of our room. The image of her from the last time we saw each other was painted in my head. It was clenching my heart. For some reason, up until now, I feel like something is still wrong. I should be mad at her, but I don't know why I seem like I can't hate her. What if they were wrong? What if she was really telling me the truth? I would hate myself so much if she's really innocent. I let her suffer in that dark face instead of believing her. “What are you thinking?” I almost got startled when Elijah suddenly appeared behind me and embraced me from there. I was on the balcony, watching the sky once again. “Do you want me to be honest?” I asked. I escaped his arms only to face him. “Of

    Chapter 97“M-Marie…” I uttered weakly. “She’s not the culprit.” I threw my eyes to the three of them with a glimpse of anger. I told them so many times that she was innocent, and yet, none of them listened. My world collided even more now that I proved that Marie is innocent. She is not the fucking culprit and she's paying for that bastard’s sins. “I-It can't be…maybe s-she escaped! Or perhaps she still has people outside,” I eyed Lily unbelievably. Seriously? She's still accusing her? “What the fuck, Lily?! She's in fucking jail!” I was shaking with rage towards them. I knew that she was innocent and I should have listened to myself since the beginning. My heart is breaking to think that she suffered there for a week already without doing anything wrong! “I told you a million times that Marie is innocent! You all didn't fucking listen to me!” I slammed the table with my hand. I was burning because of my anger bursting out. I washed my hands on my face, getting feeble. I could

    Chapter 98 “Wait, wait…are you telling me that the detective is a possible suspect?” Lucas asked, looking so befuddled. “Well, it's kinda weird to say that Freya is kind even in highschool when he doesn't even know Freya, right?” Lily said, full of confusion. I have been thinking about what he said to us. Can he really be the culprit? Is he playing with us? “Think of it, he hasn't got any while investigating. The only information he got was the one about Marie,” Brian bit his lower lip while thinking deeply. We all look like solving a damn puzzle.“He framed her,” Elijah mumbled. “I called my secretary. I told her to find me a new detective, a secret one, you know. I also asked her to do some research about him,” I don't know if we are taking the right lead. But I have a strong feeling that the detective has something to do with all this mess. The question is why is he doing this to us? I don't even know him. “Do you guys know him?” Lucas asked, still stuck in the hospital bed.

    Chapter 99 “Marie is with me, Faith…if you want to find her, let's play hide and seek.” My entire body turned cold the moment I heard that unfamiliar baritone voice. “M-Ms. Faith…d-don’t come here! He will kill you! He will kill all of you! J-Just let me die here! D-Don’t come and sav—”“Shut up, you fucking bitch!” “Marie! Don't hurt her! Fuck you!” I screamed along with my tears that began to invade my face. “What's happening?” Elijah asked who couldn't understand everything that was going on. I eyed him with my scared eyes. I'm terrified of Marie's situation now that she is in the hands of the culprit. I clearly heard how the damn bastard laid his hand to Marie and I could not do anything but scream over the phone. “It's about time to face me, Faith. I'm giving you a month to find me and if you failed, I'm gonna kill this little maid of yours,” “FUCK YOU! DON'T YOU DARE TO TOUCH HER!” I was growling like a monster with my hands clenched on my desk. I was holding the phone

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

    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

  • 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.
