All Chapters of That Problematic Ring: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Once I talked with doctors, I sit outside the emergency ward. They said the driver has fractured some of his bones and would need to stay in hospital for few days. I'm still grateful because he's out of danger now. Seeing him in a pool of blood earlier on road-side was terrifying. I thought he would not make it. I was on my way to see Mona when I encountered with a car crash. It was not a car crash for me because I managed to save myself and turned aside so that the car coming towards me couldn't slam into mine. But the other driver couldn't control his speed and crash his car into road-side trees. He fell out of the car and rolled over in the middle of the street. I run to him and found that he already lost consciousness so I had to brought him to hospital. Rubbing my face with my both hands, I allow myself now to relax and be at ease. Then I check the time from my wrist-watch. Mona would be waiting for me. She has came to Seattle to see me and I'm stuck here. I'll have to go to her

I turn off the alarm from my phone and rise to a sitting position. I check the time while grabbing my plain, crew neckline tee shirt thst's placed on the bed. It's still half an hour till I've to reach the office. Once I put on my shirt, I head to the bathroom to do my morning routine. Last night I shortened my dinner date with Mona and thankfully she didn't mind. I was exhausted because of the car crash incident and I was also feeling some muscular pains in my back and left arm. The pains are still there, but they are not severe. I can survive them. I think I've gotten some unseen injuries too when I suddenly hit the brakes and stopped my car. I didn't tell anything to Mona. She just understood my condition that I needed a rest.The moment I come out of my bathroom, I hear a soft knock on my room's door. After a second, the door slowly pushes open, "May I come in?"It's Freya. I quickly straighten my tee shirt, comb my hair with my fingers then say, "Yeah, sure."I wasn't expecting t

I run to him when I hear him yelp in pain and grab his arm. "It's bleeding, Rafe. Oh God, what to do." I cry as I see blood appearing on his white bandage. I briefly glance up at him. When I see his face is grimacing I get it that it's indeed hurting him. Panic surges through me. I curse myself for being blinded by my anger and not remembering his current condition. "It's okay." Rafe pulls his hand from mine, "It will stop. I think its just stitches got opened." He looks at the bandage then moves his hand down. "Stitches?" I stare at him in surprise, "You got stitches? You said the wound is not serious." My pace of speaking becomes faster as my panic mounts, "You said you didn't get any injury. But you complained in the morning about muscular pains and now you're telling me that you even got stitches. You lied to me. You have got injuries because of the accident.""I didn't lie to you." He narrows his eyes, "They aren't any serious. You don't have to worry." I know he's saying that

There are a lot of things about Rafe's girlfriend that have disturbed me. It was my first time meeting her in person and she was the same just as I pictured her; full of herself.I didn't like her arrogant mannerisms, her judgemental opinions and her absurdly short dress. She certainly belongs to the category of women who seduce men through their physicality.And her unreasonable rudeness towards me... She was talking to me for the first time and yet she was being prejudicial about me as if she had known me for years. Her comments have hurt me. I enter the villa and lock the door behind. It's still raining heavily outside. It was difficult to drive through the waters everywhere. I can't stop thinking about Rafe that he should not be outside of home in this crazy weather. I don't think rain is going to stop tonight. The weather forecast is showing that chances of rain continuation are higher till the early morning. I'm hoping Mona should be good with driving the way she is with sarc

"You okay?"His question gives me chills for a second. It scared me that he found out that I'm filing for our divorce. Perspiration forms on my forehead. Though this is impossible. He can't know about that. He was with his girlfriend when I made a call to the lawyer."Yes." I answer in a confusing manner. I touch his hand which is wrapped in a bandage. His concerned eyes don't get satisfaction from my answer. They continue finding something on my face."Rafe? What's wrong? Why are you drench--""Were you crying?" He asks. I widen my eyes. How did he know? I quickly ease my facial muscles, "No, I wasn't." I deny casually. He surely has a doubt on me. I swallow."Was it because of what Mona said to you?" He tightens his hold on my face to make me look into his eyes. "What?" I react in bafflement. It takes me some moments to understand what he's referring to."You don't have to hide it from me, Fay." His voice softens.I touch both of his hands, "How did you know?" He looks away."D
