His Bedwarmer’s Wife

“Oh, you’re here too, Ley.” I fix myself when I saw Hunter and greeted him.

“Hi, I visited dad but he’s still in the meeting so the secretary let me wait for him here,” I answered.

“Ok, he will be a little late because there are investors from Canada and Japan who just now arrived to look for Asher’s hospital to be built,” he said then offered me a drink. “Do you want drinks?”

“Nah, I’m good thanks. By the way, why aren’t you included in the meeting?” I ask.

“It’s a medical business, out of my field so Asher is there.” I nodded at his answer.

“Problem?” he asked me while setting the opposite table.

“Huh?”

“You look stressed seems you have a problem, wanna share it with me?” Am I that obvious?

“Nothing, just Eugene and I have a little misunderstanding.”

“It will be ok,” I was surprised when Hunter grabbed my hand which sent electricity all over my body so I immediately pulled it away. “Sorry,” he apologized.

“Maybe I can come back another time,” I said and stand up.

But to my surprise, Hunter suddenly pulled me and hugged me. My heart beats so fast. It is like that butterfly flies in my stomach. Time stop and my tears flow.

“I miss you, Ley. Until now I fucking miss you. Sorry for being a jerk, before. If I could just undo what I did for a long time I will do it,” he said as his hand was in my hair holding and caressing it down to my nape.

“Hunter,” I called his name.

“I miss you, Ley.” My whole body stiffened and I could not move immediately. I don’t know but my cells and organs seem to have come to life and want to go out to party, so I hugged him back and feel the warmest hug that I needed for a long time.

This is the hug that I’ve been longing for, for a long time, a hug that is different in

Eugene’s embrace.

Eugene my husband.

I pushed Hunter right away. I saw the sadness in his eyes because of what I did.

“Ley,” he whispered.

“It’s been a long time, Hunter, please don’t do this to me.” I need to get out of here because if I stay longer my heart might betray me.

“I know, but we both know that we have the same feelings. Our hearts know how each other feels. Our hugs, Ley, knows that we are still both in love.”

“Stop it please, Hunter,”

“Ley—”

“I said stop!” Gosh, what have I done? I know I love him but I don’t want to have a third party or be a third party. What are we, party-party?

“Were over, Hunter. There’s no US anymore. If I had a plan to come back to you, we will not be in our situation right now. I will not marry Eugene and you were not married to Kyla.

So, please, I’m begging you to stop and don’t insist the things that it’s not possible,”

I said then turned to leave him but he suddenly spoke.

“Kyla and Eugene!” he shouted which stopped me.

“What?”

“I saw Kyla and Eugene last night and I don’t know what they’re talking about but it looks like they both have a secret.” Hunter didn’t look like the one joking or the one lying.

“I tried to interrupt them but I realized for what I will do that? I don’t give a shit to Kyla so I don’t care what she does. We’re married but we don’t love each other anymore or let’s say, I didn’t love her like the way I used to.”

“So, you want us to be like you, is that so Hunter?” I asked him annoyed.

“No, you can ask Eugene if you want.” I look at him straight. I knew Hunter is sadistic to me then but he wasn’t a liar. He doesn’t care how I feel as long as he can say what he wants to say.

“Why Hunter, why did you do this?”

“Because I love you—-if you don’t really come back to me well at least I make up for my sins with you. I know I can’t take you back but I want to help you.”

“You’re an asshole, Hunter. Sorry, but I won’t believe you. Eugene won’t destroy our family and he can’t hurt his son.” Isn’t it? Knowing that he is not the real father of Uly. What if

Hunter did not lie?

“His son, yes. But a man is always a man, Ley. Especially if the person you love is the one who will tempt you.” I couldn’t answer what he said. Knowing that Eugene loves Kyla so much is not vaguely true and what Hunter said will come true.

“He can’t do that. He loves me,” I only answered before I left him. Eugene can’t afford to hurt me.

“Ley!” he shouted but I did not listen to him.

“Ley!” I felt him holding my hand. Shit, why did he follows me?

“What else do you need Hunter?”

“If I hadn’t been late, it would have been me.” Suddenly my heartbeat quickened and I stared at him.

“What do you mean?”

“Forget it.” He interrupted my question and then turned his back on me.

What does he mean?

Does he also know what happened to me?

What the fuck!

I JUST WENT home and I just sent a message to daddy that I went home because I felt bad. I said I will be back next time. When I got home I saw Eu playing with Uly in our room. Until now he still doesn’t talk to me because he doesn’t agree for me to talk to daddy about Uly.

I just sighed as I looked at them. I suddenly thought of what Hunter had told me about the meeting of Eugene and Kyla. I know how much Eugene loved Kyla back then. He also said that we are both prisoners of love.

Is it true what Hunter said earlier?

“Ulysses, can you go to nana first, I want to talk to dada privately.” They both looked at me and did not give them a chance to ask. I call Uly’s nanny to bring him into his room. When Uly came out I closed the door and faced Eugene who was putting away his belongings but still not speaking.

“Eu,” I said in advance but he didn’t answer. “Someone saw you and Kyla.” He stopped at what he was doing then looked at me. “Is it true?”

“Who told you?” he asked me again.

“Is that important, I asked if it’s true?” But he remained quiet.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
