Marriage first, love second
I was stupid enough to fall for Drake, my husband. Foolish because I thought I was able to stick to my plan of not loving him. My marriage life became hell when everyone and my husband were pressuring me to give my husband a child, but could not. It was not easy to conceive. Fed up by my inability to get pregnant, my husband shoved the divorce papers in front of me. What choice did I have? I signed the divorce papers. To my surprise, a day after the divorce, it turned out I was pregnant with my ex-husband's child. Wanting to punish him for what he did, I vowed never to tell him about our child but a year later, my ex-husband saw me carrying our child and wanted to have us both.

THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [125]
BEATRICE:Doll…The words kept on ringing in my head.Doll.It brought happiness to my heart. You like hearing him say those words, right? Who would not?This was the first time Drake had called me into something else aside from my name. Doll. Why choose that endearment from the rest? Did he believe I was a doll? I was far from being a doll. There were already some additional fats all over my body. Has everything changed between us? Well, for starters, you two were already making out in the elevator and you almost gave yourself, alright? Second, you’re already envisioning a future with him. That is a good sign, Beatrice. “Old people are usually like that,” he said all of a sudden.”My heart jumped at the sound of his deep voice.“Like what, actually?” What was our topic once again? I already forgot since I was focused on him. I already forgot about the old woman. “Cranky. My grandmother is usually like that. Don’t let her words affect you. We did nothing wrong.”Making out in the

BEATRICE:Why should I react to Sarah's statement when it was the truth? My ex-husband had married me because I was rich. He could use our family’s influence. Wasn’t we the reason why the investors kept on trusting him? That was the reason why. “Drake. All the women whom you had relationships with were wealthy and influential. You use us to your advantage so it will never be a surprise if…” she trailed off. Sarah. She was an example of an annoying bitch. She minds the other’s business.But what she said was true, right? You were married to each other. He agreed because the Watson family was wealthy. Most of you were already billionaires. And some zillionaires even. That was one of the reasons why your mom was confident to marry you off to someone else because no one would be able to say no.Men and women practically wanted to be with us because of what we could offer. Prestige. Power. Money. Anything that you could name."Watch your mouth, Sarah," Drake growled. "I respected you a

BEATRICE:Drake and Sarah had a past. I should have known. The woman would not be acting like this if the two did not have any relationship at all. That was why she was acting as if he owned Drake. I wondered what kind of relationship they had?Images of the two of them in bed flashed inside my mind. Damn it. It was all in the past, yet why could I not move on? Why did I feel irritated towards the woman? Drake smiled nervously, while I pretended to not care at all. “I know if, Drake. There's no need to hide.”I was not envious or anything like that, okay? I don't have to react because that was the truth. "It's all in the past, Sarah.""That's why I am reminding you about it. I want the world to know that my ex-boyfriend in the past is now a billionaire. Nah. If only I was not stupid before, I should have not let you go. I was stupid and foolish."I folded my arms in front of my chest, while debating if I would walk away or not.Listening to ex-lovers was not really my forte.

BEATRICE:Yeah. I should not answer it, not because Drake said I should not. But because I wanted it. I needed to set things up with him.Josh…I needed him to be removed from my life. But could I face him right now? The thought of seeing him right now brought shivers down my spine. He murdered his own wife? And he lied with a straight face. There should never be hesitations again. “You think he is that bad?”I said no hesitations, alright? You need to make up your mind this instant!“He is the worst, Beatrice. He is the most dangerous person that you would encounter.” How sure was he, actually? Very sure that he asked someone to tail your suitor.“There is nothing to argue about that. I am totally happy that I removed him from your life. Not because he is my competitor, but because he is dangerous. You understand me, right?”Did I? Back in the past, I was stubborn. I was not listening to him. I did not listen to any of his words, thinking it was because he was jealous. But it was

BEATRICE:"YOU...You believe me now?" Drake asked, in disbelief while staring at me with wide eyes. “Do you believe that all I wanted from you is to keep you safe, Beatrice?”This man was willing to do the extra mile just to keep me safe. He was willing to splurge all his money in order to protect me. And how many times did I ever see how much he was willing to do for me? I saw everything. What if everything was because of Grayson? What if you're just the excess baggage and he was only forced to protect you because he did not want Grayson to be motherless?He said he loved me. I would like to start with that. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. As of the moment. "Yes. I believe you now. But I hope you will only tell me the truth from now on."His eyes smiled. He looked so dashing. If what he claimed that he loved me was true, why did it have to be me? There were so many beautiful women surrounding him.Why not? You were the mother of his son.I did not want to be conside

BEATRICE:“Are you okay, Beatrice?” Drake asked as I sat in the passenger seat. I was about to sit in the back seat, but he told me that I should sit beside him so that he would not sleep while he was driving. Which I did. To stop him from saying anything anymore. I opened the door and stepped into the car. The first thing that I smelt was his expensive phone. Until now, everything that was said, did not fully sink into my mind. I meant….Josh? That man whom I thought would be the best future husband? That man who never said anything bad against me? How could I forget about him? This kind of pain was difficult to remove. It felt as if my boyfriend had broken up with me.I just wanted to be at peace. With his eyes on the road while he kept on glancing at me, he asked for the second, “Are you okay, Beatrice? You can tell me everything that is running in your mind right now. You're not alone, okay? I'm just here.” I scoffed and threw my head on the window. “Do I look like I am okay?

BEATRICE:My breathing labored while my mind internalized what Drake had said. Josh? The one whom I started to get my trust, just fooled me? Why? What could he get from it?Trust?But after what he did, I did not think he would be able to make me trust him again. You are not yet sure, Beatrice. You still wanted to learn the truth, right? “Answer me!” I demanded.My head felt like it was going to spin as I waited for Josh to explain his side. Each passing moment felt like hell. “Little One…”When my strength left me, I leaned heavily on the car.What else will be the cause of my death again?I laughed at the irony of the situation. The man whom I kept on defending from my ex-husband was the same person who wanted to make a fool out of me? Did he think I was that foolish?“What did you say, Drake? Maybe you need to say it again since Josh seemed not to hear your previous statement.”Drake heaved a long sigh. “I only found it yesterday. This man. He was the one who paid the burgl

BEATRICE:Drake fell silent at my statement. "Beatrice…"Staring at the sky, the stars had slowly twinkled right at us. It was so beautiful, and I wished I could stare at them and enjoy them. Not something like this. Not when I was facing some kind of problems. It's because of the men you allowed to enter your life. What if you keep on closing your doors, Beatrice? Do you believe you will still have some problems like now? Heaving a long sigh, I said, "Why are you here again? I did not tell you to fetch me or something like that," I muttered under my breath. It was better to change the topic than dwell on the topic about Josh. It will only create conflict between us.He cleared his throat, and I could see that he was thankful too that I changed the topic. Damn it. Using the back part of my palm, I wiped the imaginary sweat on my forehead. What am I doing, actually? I was what? Arguing in the parking lot while others could witness us? Besides, Drake was not some ordinary person

BEATRICE:Someone might be feeding Angel those thoughts or she might be right. Damn it. I did not know what to listen to anymore. Different versions. "Some of the neighbors told me about it. I don't think they would lie to me like this when my sister was so good at them. My sister was the kindest soul I met in my entire life," she expressed as her voice broke in the end. It felt like my chest felt like it was being ripped apart in tiny pieces. Angel's love for her sister reminded me of my relationship with Christina. This woman…I saw Christina at her despite our falling out. I wondered if something bad happened to me, would Christina also do the same? With what is happening between you right now, I did not think she would be like Angel. Josh massaged his forehead. "Angel. You always believed what other people would say,” he said gently. He was indirectly telling her that she was that gullible. “What if they are not telling the truth? What if the person who told you was silentl

BEATRICE:“Sign the divorce papers like what we agreed,” Drake, my husband, ordered, shoving the divorce papers in my hand. We were supposed to be watching a romantic movie in the living room like what he said, but his mood suddenly changed. Was it because of the movie? He asked me to come here because of the divorce. “B-Babe…” was all I could while my lips trembled.I was already expecting this day. A couple of years ago, he also wanted to divorce me. We came to an agreement to give ourselves another time. And now…But why did it still hurt? "I tried to wait for you, Beatrice, but I don't have all the time in the world. I'm a busy man. I'm not getting any younger."“You think I am not?” Tears simmered in my eyes as I continued to stare at the divorce papers. What would my family think after this? Mom will hate me. They will disown me. It was never tolerated in the family to have any divorce. And if this will push through, I will be the first Watson in the family. My relatives wi
