WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2022-10-08 01:15:11“Rich, have you had dinner, I can make a plate for you.” she offered as she got up from the couch. She had saved a plate for him during dinner and all she had to do was to warm the food. Before she could even take a step, Rich turned to look at her, a sneer on his face.
“Did I say that I want anything from you? Why are you even talking to me?” He had a disgusted look on his face. He hated this person standing near him with a passion. Just the thought of being in one house with her was always revolting to him.
Megan hung her head low in humiliation. Whenever she tried to have a conversation with him, it always ended up in a bad way either with him insulating her of or he would just walk away as if she did not exist.
“I am sorry but please I would like to discuss something with you if you can spare a few minutes for me”, she braced herself for more insults but Rich remained silent.
He never liked being in the same space with her but since everyone had gone to bed and it was just the two of them, maybe he could use this chance to try and convince her give him a divorce. He sighed and dragged himself to the armchair to make space between the two of them.
“What is it?” he asked gruffly, leaning back and crossing his long legs. He looked like a prince that was about to descend to the throne.
She sat down and looked into his eyes, hoping to get through to him with direct eye contact. “Now that father is no longer here with us, can you please help me to get a job at the company? I can’t just sit in the house and do nothing all day long”
Ever since Mr. Wayne, her father in law fell ill when she had just gotten married and joined the household, she was the one who was taking care of his daily needs because he did not want to go to the hospital and also did not allow the family to hire a nurse to take care of him. He had once confided in his daughter in law that his life might be in danger.
“Haaaa, and what do you think that you will be able to do in the company? Just look at youself with your mousy look and lack of fashion style. Do you want to embarrass me at the company?” he really despised this woman and did not want to bear the shame of being seen with her in public.
Even though people knew that he was married, the public had never seen his wife. They had held a private wedding with family only and even during social gatherings, his escort had always been Liana who marched perfectly well with him. Many people speculated about their relationship but they had to keep it a secret for fear of his father.
Once again, Megan looked down and concentrated on the patterns of her fingers. “I have a degree in Human Resource Management and even though I have no experience, I know that I can contribute in the company". After all, she had graduated top of her class and was an honorary student in the university.
This was met by a harsh laugh that made her cringe. “There is no way in hell that you will get a job in the same company that I run. Why don’t you do both of us a favor and divorce me? Father is dead so there is nothing for you here”, he spat out as he got up from the chair, ending the discussion.
“I will never divorce you Richard,” she said before he could take a step.
“What do you want from me? I hate you, I hate seeing your face and I hate that brat that you brought into this house. Listen, I will give you 1 million dollars. Go to any lawyer in town and prepare the divorce agreement and bring it to me latest tomorrow or else your life will turn to hell in this house”. He said that matched out of the living room.
Megan slid back to the seat feeling powerless. She did not want his money and if she could, she would have taken her son and left the house as soon as the funeral service was over.
The agreement that she had signed in the presence of Mr. Wayne and his lawyer stated that should she initiate a divorce then she would either reimburse a total sum of 10 million that had been used for her father’s operation and treatment or face a jail term of two years.
She could not afford either of the two choices so she was stuck in her predicament. Forcing herself off the couch, she headed to her room to stare at the ceiling because sleep was not forthcoming. If only her father knew what he had gotten her into.
Rich reached for his phone and called Liana. He could never sleep without having a video chat with her and wished that she was in bed with him. Whatever happened, he had to get Megan to divorce him so that he could be with his true love.
He wished he could make the divorce application himself but according to the agreement he signed with his father, he was to stay married to Megan if he wanted to remain as the CEO of the company, a position that he took over from his father on condition that he broke up with his girlfriend and marry the woman that his father had arranged for him.
Running the company was his birthright as he was the only son to his parents so there was no way that he was going to let Megan ruin it for him. He would force her to make the divorce application .

THE ABANDONED WIFE JOB HUNTING
Megan had already spent two weeks looking for a job to no avail. She would leave the house early in the morning with Benny as she dropped him off at school then head out job searching.It became a routine for her to go into the cyber café in town to search and apply for jobs in the internet. After spending about three hours doing this, she would then start walking in the offices around in search of job vacancies while dropping her resumes.The one disadvantage that she encountered was that the companies wanted someone with at least two years of experience in a prior job so even though she had the papers to prove her qualifications as a Human Resource Manager, she failed in the interviews when it came to work experience.All this could have been made easier for her if her husband had agreed to get her a position at the company.This was all her fault, she thought as she got into the car to pick up Benny from school in the afternoon. If only she had not rushed to get married to her uni

It had been a week since Megan started working. Because Beth neither agreed nor opposed the notion of her getting a job, Megan delved right into it. At least this way, she had a reason of being out of the house and would earn an income in the process. Spending the whole day in the house had become stifling. The people who were still flocking to the house to offer their condolences looked down on her and treated her like the house help. Of course, Beth never bothered to correct them. Her husband was spending more time with his mistress and her sister-in-law had her friends to keep her company. Her cousin-in-law was the only one who occasionally treated her like a human being.She had already fallen into a routine with Benny.

“Kneel and apologize right now!” Rich shouted at her.Megan looked at her husband, her lips lopsided in sadness. As soon as he had walked into the store, Liana rushed and threw herself at him, crying pitifully. Her shoulders were shaking as she racked in sobs causing Rich to feel a tear in his heart.“What happened? Why are you crying?” He asked tenderly, not understanding what the drama was all about.Liana turned in his arms and pointed a shaky finger at Megan. “She hit me and splashed water on me”Oooh this woman, Megan thought as she looked aghast at them. Liana had started it all but was now making it seem like she was the one who was attacked.“Then she slapped me and humiliated me in front of everyone calling me a bitch and a husband snatcher” she wailed. “Rich, tell her that we are just friends and nothing is going on between us.”Liana twisted things so that people could have a negative impression of Megan.

“Resign from your job!”Those were the words that greeted Megan as soon as she went through the door. She had had a long day at work and after picking Benny up from school and taking him to the park as usual, all she wanted was a warm bath before helping Benny with his assignment.The embarrassment that Liana had caused at her workplace lingered on her mind and right now seeing her seated next to Beth while holding her hand as if she had been greatly aggrieved made Megan to scoff inwardly.“Mother, I had asked of your permission before looking for a job and you were only with it. Why change now?” she knew that Liana had give to whine to her.“If all you want a reason to resign then I want you here, in the house to help me around. As you can see, I am still grieving my husband and I can’t be left alone in the house.”Megan felt that this was the lamest excuse that she ever heard. It had been months since father passed away and mother had even started attending social functions, acting

It was late at night when Megan finally made her way downstairs to the kitchen. She needed some salve to apply on her knee as it was already swollen.After heating some water, she used it in a small basin and by use of a face towel, gently massaged the swollen area while applying the ointment. It was so painful, she had to grit her teeth to stop the tears from cascading down her face.She heard the main door open and guessed that Rich was back home. As she was hoping that he would head to his room, she saw a silhouette by the kitchen door.Rich had just got home and checked the living room but his wife was not there. Ever since she started working, she no longer waited on him with a hot meal like she used to. He had even stopped having dinner with Liana just so he could come back to the meals and her company and was always irritating by not finding her.As he was about to go up to his room, he saw the kitchen was lit and headed there, thinking that maybe Megan was preparing his meal.

Lying prostrate on his bed, Rich stared at the ceiling in the dark. Megan's words still rang clear in his head, the guilt banging back and forth. Was he really about to take his wife by force? He loathed Megan but never in his wildest dreams did he think that he would be capable of such a despicable act against her.Megan in the other room was curled up in bed, her teeth firmly biting into the bedsheet as tears soaked her pillow. Her heart was been torn apart by pain but she did not want her pitiful cries to wake up her son who was peacefully sleeping on the bed next to hers.“Why is life so unfair to me?” she asked herself as her mind drifted to the past.*****Benny who was still a toddler was at his grandparents for the weekend.

THE ABANDONED WIFE NEW BEGINNINGS
The Wayne mansion, a place that held both joyous memories and now, an unbearable weight of grief, was finally behind her. Megan, Cindy, and Athena, a small family forged in a time of loss and sisterly support, stood on the threshold of their new beginning. Logan, a constant source of support, had orchestrated their move, ensuring every detail was handled with care not wanting the girls to worry about shifting houses. He’d even personally driven them to the quiet suburban area, a world away from the prying eyes and whispered condolences of Megan's past life, a cushion against the pain of loss.The house, a charming three-bedroomed bungalow with a sprawling garden, was perfect. It was nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac, far from the noise and bustle of the city, a sanctuary where Megan could hopefully begin to heal. Logan had taken extra precautions, not just enhancing the area's security but also discreetly placing some of his own trusted men as residents in the neighbourhood, th

"Honey, why are you back so early?" She asked as she stepped forward to take his coat.Rich's unexpected arrival hung in the air, a silent judgment on the tableau before him.Liana, rushed towards him, arms outstretched. Rich, however, bypassed her embrace, his gaze fixed on Liana with an intensity that made her falter. He pulled up a chair and sat down."Liana, I need to ask you something."Immediately she tensed, sensing what he was about to ask."Honey, let's t...talk in the living room and leave the girls to enjoy their tea." She stammered, as she held his arm and led him outside, back to the house."Liana," he began, his voice low and anxious, "I want you to answer me truthfully. Was that you on the recording?" He didn't want to believe that his beloved could do something like this but ever since she fought with Megan in the parking lot, he seemed to be picking out odd things about her character.Liana's cracked as her breath hitched, and the colour drained from her face, lea

They dismissed the maid that was serving them tea as Megan never liked being waited upon cause she always felt that it was demeaning to the maid to stand by their side as they ate.They had spent the better part of the morning house-hunting. Cindy had been urging Megan to move in with her which was a tangible way for Cindy to show her love and support, offering Megan a chance to create a new space where she could begin to heal.

"Mummy", Benny called out as he giggled.Megan smiled and opened her arms wide, bracing herself for the hug.Benny would always run into her with the assurance that his mother would pick him up in a twirl going round and round until they both got dizzy.Mother and child hugged and laughed as they rolled in the grass."I love you Mummy", Benny said as he looked into his mother's eyes without smiling.Alarmed, Megan sat on the grass and held her son."I love you too, Benny, but why the serious face?" Benny would either be giggling or hugging his mother's neck and smiling when telling his mother that he loved her, but right now, he had an odd expression that was very unlike him.He got up from his mother's lap and gave her a serious look, then ran a few feet away."Mummy, catch me if you can," he said then took off, laughing.Megan ran after him and caught up with him, lifting him in the air."Mummy, I'm sorry I can't be with you anymore".

It was the day of the trial.The courtroom buzzed with a nervous energy, a stark contrast to the quiet solemnity of Benny's funeral. Megan sat stiffly, her gaze fixed on the empty space beside her, a phantom presence of her son lingering there. The weight of grief had settled into a dull ache, a constant reminder of the void left by Benny's absence. Her face was pale, her eyes hollow, reflecting the sleepless nights and the constant replay of seeing her Benny in a casket.Cindy sat beside her, offering silent support, her hand resting lightly on Megan's arm.

THE ABANDONED WIFE MUMMY FAILED TO PROTECT YOU
It was a bright and sunny day; cloudless, the kind of day Benny would enjoy in the park while eating ice cream and telling his mother endless stories about his day at school while listening to the birds chirping away. He would then run to the swings or throw around his ball, his little feet struggling to keep the ball steady as he kicked it. Because he was very sociable, he would make friends easily, always having children around him. He had always been a burbly child, full of life and loved by his teachers and classmates. He was also the most obedient child and over-intelligent for his age, grasping knowledge at an alarming rate. Megan was never worried about him when in the park as Benny was very well trained and wouldn't engage in conversation with adult strangers. In case of any sign of danger, he would quickly rush to his mother. He had a whole collection of dried flowers in the room that were displayed in a book. He would name them and arrange them according to the seasons c

The police immediately dispatched a team to go to Dante's house to get the laptop.******Dante was not familiar with MountainView, so he had to make a stop and ask for directions to the mountain, claiming that he was there for a hike.The bottom of the mountain had sheds where hikers and mountaineers rested and grouped themselves before making their ascent.He got into the one that was nearest the mountain and placed Benny inside. After gagging Benny and tying his hands and feet, he left to make a call.He felt sorry for his boy but had no choice but to do this. He promised himself that he would make it up to him after this was over.They had been in the shed for two days.

Dante has just got home from the mechanic shop where he worked. Before the divorce, he worked as the Project Manager at Epic Media Company, where he was in charge of verifying the contracts brought in by agents for their artists and also sourcing for international projects.He had a large office with a view, but after being laid off from work due to anger issues and fights at the workplace, it took him quite a while before getting a job as a mechanic. On that particular day, he was alighting from his car when his phone vibrated and he saw an unfamiliar number calling him."I have a job for you", a gruff voice got him curious. He was short of money and was up for making extra dollars."Excuse me, who are you and what kind of work is it?" He asked."That is not important. I know that you are working for peanuts at the mechanic shop. After doing this work for me, I will pay you enough to make you live a comfortable life"."So what do you want me to do?"

Dante looked back in shock at the sound of a familiar voice that he hadn't heard in ages. A voice that took him years back, a voice that he had longed for and regretted losing, the one voice that had brought warmth and sunshine into his life, now seemingly lost forever."What's going on? Why do you look so battered? Who beat you up?" Megan asked in concern as the rest of the room stared in silence.A huge scar ran down his face, his shirt was bloody, and he was trying to hide his hand that was bandaged.He looked like a messed up, bloody pulp, like a huge ripe tomato that had been squashed under the wheels."Do you know this man?" One of the policemen who came with the group asked as he removed a document from his jacket."He is my ex-husband", Megan replied, still confused as to what was happening."Ma'am, this man is the main suspect in the kidnapping of a little boy found in the mountains", the man said in an official voice as he stretched the arrest warrant for Megan to have a lo
