The Mafia's Unwanted Wife TMUW 18: Visit
The sound of my cellphone woke me up. I kept my eyes closed as I reached for it on the nightstand. "Hello," I answered the call. "Why did it take you so long to answer!" Lucas's irritated voice came through. "Come over to the house, and hurry," he ordered. I furrowed my brows, opening my eyes. "Last time, you practically kicked me out, and now you're rushing me to come over," I retorted. "Just come here, Aurora. Your parents are here, and I just told them you went somewhere," he said, waking me up, wide awake. "What's going on there?" I asked, still in disbelief. "I don't know. Just get your ass over here and hurry up," he replied. "Tell them I'm at work—" "I'm not that dumb to say that if it's a Sunday. For fuck's sake, it's Sunday! Weekend." I scratched my head and sighed. "I'm on my way," I replied, resigned to the situation. I quickly got myself ready and headed to our house. When I arrived, they were all sitting in the living room, laughing! When Lucas saw me, he gave
The Mafia's Unwanted Wife TMUW 19: Gym
I paused from sipping my water when I spotted a familiar face. Right now, I'm at the gym. It's been a while since I stopped working out, and I thought today was the best day to pick up where I left off, even though I've embraced the role of a housewife. "Look how small our country is," he remarked. I ignored him and, with my bag in tow, I stood up. I'm done with my workout anyway, and I can't wait to take a shower since I'm already sweaty. "Okay," he said, nodding as he continued trailing behind me. "Still the girl who doesn't acknowledge, I see." "Girl's locker room," I pointed to the sign above, while Haze continued to follow me closely. He raised his hands in surrender. I rolled my eyes and went inside. I had no idea why he was here again. It didn't even cross my mind that we'd meet again. I cleaned up and put on a simple pair of denim shorts and a white shirt. I was about to smack him when he intercepted me as I exited the locker room. "Are you crazy?" I said, irritated.
The Mafia's Unwanted Wife TMUW 20: Flashback
I pursed my lips, unable to believe what I was heard. "Hey!" I shouted, irritation making me follow him. "Am I a dog to you?" He shot me a harsh look. "Can you fucking shut your mouth?" he snapped, mirroring the frustration I was feeling. "What else are you doing here? I said, leave," he repeated. I chuckled, growing more irritated. "I'm not your dog. You can't order me around." I tugged at his arm, trying to pull him back, but he winced in pain. "You have a wound again," I said. He just glared at me before heading to the kitchen. "It's none of your business." "Yes, it is! You're still my husband, Lucas. We're still married on paper—" "Exactly, Aurora! Just on paper. Don't act like you care for me because you never did right from the start! I don't need your pity at all." "If I didn't care for you, why would I voluntarily tend to your wounds every time you come home with bruises, stab wounds, and nurse you back to health even when I have work?" "And now you're throwing what
The Mafia's Unwanted Wife TMUW 21: Black Hoodie
I kept an eye on the guy who seemed to have been following me since earlier. Even though I came here to have fun by myself, I just couldn't. I felt like he had been following me for a while because no matter where I went, I saw him around. I didn't notice him at first, but when I started looking for other places to go, I saw him watching me. I also didn't trust what he was wearing. He was completely covered up. Wearing a cap, a mask, pants, and a jacket, even though it was scorching hot inside. I looked in his direction and tried to meet his eyes. Although I failed because of the cap he was wearing, I knew he was aware of my presence. He acted like he was busy, looking at the aquarium in front of him, and I took the chance to hide behind a group of people. He seemed restless, as if searching for something. He glanced around before eventually walking away. I let out a sigh of relief and continued to blend into the crowded area. I stayed for nearly an hour before finally deciding to
The Mafia's Unwanted Wife TMUW 22: Coffee
I fixed myself and headed towards the Amaricano Café. I was looking for his familiar face, and when I spotted him, I walked straight toward him. He was busy with his cell phone, so even if I cleared my throat, he didn't look up right away. I faked a cough to get his attention, and it seemed to work as he finally raised his eyes to me. He appeared surprised but composed, setting his phone down on the table to give me his full attention. "You really did. I thought you were just stringing me along because that's what I was expecting, considering how you firmly declined all my efforts," he said. I shook my head. "Maybe I shouldn't have stood you up," I teased. I just laughed when he shrugged. "I haven't even placed an order yet. I don't know what you want." I picked up the menu placed on the side of the table, and he did the same. "Would you mind if I asked why you suddenly decided to have coffee with me?" he inquired. I continued perusing the menu while his question lingered in t
The Mafia's Unwanted Wife TMUW 23: Random
"Are you sure you're not busy?" I asked Haze. "No, I'm not. Let's go, should I pick you up?" he asked back. I shook my head. "Let's just convoy," I replied, hurrying to grab my bag so I could leave. In the past few days, Haze was the only person I talked to. I didn't feel any embarrassment anymore because the more time we spent together, the more I got to know his personality. I left my room key behind, so I had to go back for it. When I opened the door, Lucas was there to greet me, and I almost yelled at him in surprise. "What are you doing here?" I asked with irritation due to the surprise. He seemed surprised to see me too but quickly composed himself as if nothing had happened. "Where are you going?" he asked. I furrowed my brows and raised an eyebrow. "I'm just going somewhere," I replied. "Do you need something? I'm in a hurry," I said while closing the door to my room. I raised an eyebrow when he didn't answer and finished closing the door. I was about to leave when I
The Mafia's Unwanted Wife TMUW 24: Worried
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" he asked angrily as he finally managed to get into the car, which had refused to start. We were planning to leave it behind temporarily and come back for it later. At this point, I couldn't complain anymore because Lucas was already furious. "It's too late now, Aurora." "If you didn't want to help me in the first place, then why did you waste your time coming here? You said you'd help, but now you're just complaining," I replied, unable to hide my frustration. I couldn't help but be irritated. Couldn't he just offer his assistance without all the drama? "Do you really think I'll let you stay here alone without any help? What if something happens to you? Who will explain to your parents? How will I explain to them that I didn't know you left the house—" Lucas argued. "Then, as simple as that. Tell them you didn't know because I moved out of the house and I moved into my condo," I interrupted. "Tell them that our annulment papers are already in proce
The Mafia's Unwanted Wife TMUW 25: Unknown
I woke up in the middle of the night and reached for the blanket. I could hear the heavy rain pouring outside. To my surprise, I noticed Lucas sleeping on the sofa, trembling slightly. Feeling drowsy, I got up without thinking and reached for the blanket that he was supposed to share with me earlier before I placed it over himself. As he took it from my hand, I returned to bed and fell back asleep. Morning came, and I heard Lucas's voice. It seemed like he was trying to wake me up, but instead of opening my eyes, I snuggled deeper into the pillows when I felt the chill. I was so sleepy and lacked the energy to get up and fetch the remote for the air conditioner to lower it. "Hey, you're hugging me too tight," he complained. I furrowed my brow, still drowsy, and forced my eyes open. I blinked in surprise when I realized I was hugging him. I quickly removed my arm from around his body and turned away, feeling embarrassed. "We can cuddle if that's what you want, just don't squeeze
