THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [66]
DRAKE:There. I finally said those words, even if I already know that Beatrice won’t believe me. That woman never believed in any words I said. For her, I was a liar and a bastard. “I love you, Beatrice,” I said for the second time as she continued staring at me with a blank expression on her face. Her silence was…made me lose my confidence. After the divorce, women would occasionally throw themselves at me, but right now, the woman I loved won’t even believe any words I said. I had been planning on how I would tell Beatrice of my real feelings, but I did not know how to say those words to her. I feared that she would never believe me after what I did to her. For leaving her just like that. How she looked at me with uninterested eyes after confessing my feelings was like a punch in my gut. Though I deserved it. I deserved this. I deserved her cold treatment after everything.Still…I was not used to her reacting like this. Back then, the old Beatrice would almost kiss the ground
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [67]
BEATRICE:Does Drake have to ask that? I've been wanting him to do that so that we will be peaceful once again."You're the one who always doesn't want to do it," I said. "If what you claim is true, then give it to me. Disappear from our lives."That would be the most wonderful thing that he would be able to give us. Some kind of peace. If Grayson would ask about his Dad, then I would think of some alibis of where his Dad could be.Do you think it's enough? What if your son will know the truth? Will he not hate you in the end?I will try to make him understand. I will make sure of that.He heaved a long sigh and threw his gaze at the shore."That's a difficult thing to do. Ask me anything else as long as it does not involve leaving you two again, Beatrice. How would I show you that I changed? I'm sorry, Beatrice, but I could not do that. I don't want my son to hate me."Shifting my gaze at the water, I said, "What am I doing? Asking you to leave us? What's my assurance that you honor
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [68]
BEATRICE:I no longer understand what I was feeling right now as my ex-husband held him in his arms. It felt strange on my part that this felt like it was the most ordinary thing to do. The kiss, I meant.My ex-husband wants to kiss me? Why? That was out of the blue and I did not understand him at first. Or maybe my mind refused to understand what was happening. Everything was becoming confusing. A certain part of me definitely wanted to be kissed and to taste a man's lips. How long has it been since I last kissed? Five years ago? And this man was the only one who managed to see my naked body and touch them.I sucked in a breath as I struggled to keep those memories at the back of my head where they should belong. Those dangerous memories will only awaken those sinful thoughts that were trying to resurface for my ex-husband. Drake was the only one whom I wanted. My body ached for a touch where only a man could satisfy. Where only Drake could satisfy. "Beatrice? May I?" he asked
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [69]
BEATRICE:Why are you thinking about him? Do you think he is a child that needs his mother to follow him up? He is a freaking adult already, Beatrice. Stop thinking about him and go to sleep. I rolled to my side while looking out the window. If I just stood and looked outside, I would see him on the shore. What was he thinking right now? What else? He might be embarrassed facing you since you turned him down. If you only allowed him to kiss you, then you would not be worrying about him right now. I'm not worried at all! He could take all of his time and stare at the waves. Or maybe, he is secretly meeting Heather right now. Do you know? Have sex with him since you refused him. I gritted my teeth. I don't care if they made love in the sand under the moonlight. I don't fucking care. Closing my eyes, I forced myself to sleep, refusing to imagine what the two might be doing right now. Why don't you look out the window and see for yourself if the two are having sex? I chastised
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [70]
BEATRICE:All through my life, I believed that my ex-husband's family did not care about me. I thought that they hated me for not being able to give a child to their son. I thought they hated me because I did not do my best to stop my ex-husband from divorcing me.Some people were like that. They would blame you and question your worth just because you had a failed marriage. How many instances did I witness that the victim was put into shame when something happened to her? And then I would know that I was wrong? That nothing happened between him and Heather? How could he keep me in the dark when it comes to his family? Even if we never had the best relationship to date, I was still looking forward to the bright future ahead. Your mind is already elsewhere, Beatrice. Focus.Where was I again? Ah, right. It was him not telling his family that we already got divorced. Gritting between teeth, I asked, "Explain your statement, Drake before I will think what I should do with you. Why ha
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [71]
BEATRICE:I shook my head. The chapter of me and Drake’s lives were already closed. I should not let my emotions get over me."I will eat if I get hungry. But not now."He shrugged off his shoulders. "If that's what you wish. Will you wash yourself or will we go now?"Sniffing my clothes, there was no smell on it. Which means I could still use this until we arrived home."We will start going home," I answered. “I will go upstairs and get our bags.”“There is no need for that. I already put them on the car while you were sleeping.”He did that without being told? Who would have thought that Drake had some sense of volunteerism? He was not like this in the past. He never cared if I was still alive or not. “Why did you do that?”He looked at me with a confused expression on his face. “Oh. I did not know that you would be angry about it. My apologies, Beatrice. I should have asked you about it.”It was not like that.But who cares if he misinterpreted my words?“Where is Heather, by the
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [72]
BEATRICE:My chest felt like there were a ton of rocks inside it. What a freaking bastard. How could he hide that very important thing to me? What if I allowed him to kiss that night? That would make me a mistress! I did not have any plans to compete with any woman at all!What if Christina was not here to tell me about that? What if I was blindly believing all my ex-husband words? "How could you, Drake?" My voice shook at the end due to his betrayal. "Beatrice. Let me explain. I will try to make you understand. That woman…I will tell you the whole story. Please allow me to talk to you."I did not know if I had the heart to listen to him after holding that important information from me. I did not know I was the only one who was left in the dark. When I was suffering, he was in the arms of the woman whom he truly loved. Christina scoffed while my chest felt like it was being ripped into a million pieces. When I was slowly trying to open myself to him, then I had to discover his be
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [73]
73BEATRICE:I stared at the ceiling, while sleep had been elusive. No matter how many times I tossed in bed, I just could not find the right position to be sleeping now.My body was tired, but it refused to sleep.Until now, I was thinking of Drake's secret.How could he hide it from me? Was it because he was scared that if I found out, I would hide Grayson away from him? After what he did, how could I not do it? If he keeps on lying to me like that, how could I trust him?You don't have to trust him. Make him totally disappear from your life, the evil part of my mind said. That man always causes you pain and headaches. Isn't it the right time for you to remove him from your life? Well, that could be true...But how? No matter how much I think about it, Drake was not the type who would easily let go especially Grayson was at stake. My phone had been ringing nonstop and even if I did not check who it was, I had an idea that it was Drake. Maybe he wanted to explain himself on how the
