Tears Of A Wife novel Chapter 39

Trina looked stressed but her eyes were blazing with anger. Anger that is directed to me. She stood up and fixed her hair. Then, she glared at me intensely.

"Are you happy now? You did this to me! You're heartless You're worthle-"

I slapped Trina on both her cheeks. I didn't even regret doing it. Seeing how she widened her eyes to me and screamed like crazy, I know she deserved it. She called me names which is not true. She accused me of things I didn't even know.

"You're crazy!" I said in a firm tone. "You are the heartless one, Trina! I gave Atlas to you, but you still wanted to hurt my baby! You are desperate!" I spat out. I paused and gasped for air.

My heart contracted and clenched in anger. Even if I tried to be calm, the emotions I've kept for a long time for Trina just bursted out. I lost it. I lost my control and it slipped.

Trina looked back at me. Her eyes were throwing daggers as she looked at me. I saw her cheeks reddened because of what I did. Her hands that were handcuffed were on her chest. I saw her shook her head and laughed sarcastically. She looked crazy. After a moment, she came back to her chair and laughed again. When she got tired of it, she glared at me again.

"You're stupid, Olive! You're too stupid that you left Atlas! You wrecked my life! You should be the one in here!" she screamed.

"You-"

Kraius stopped me when I was about to walk closer to Trina. He held my waist using his hand, so I turned to him with confusion. I saw him shake his head.

"Stop it, Olive. You already got your revenge," he whispered. Just like earlier, he gave me a worried expression. "Let's go home. Please," he begged.

I shook my head. "I'm sorry, Kraius. But, just this once. For me and for my baby. Please,"

Kraius released a heavy sigh and nodded. He also let me go and gave me space. I looked at Trina again and saw her looking at me too. Her maniacal smirk was still there as she shook her head repeatedly.

I walked closer to the table and placed my two hands on top of it. I was towering over Trina that she needed to look up just to see me. Her eyes were still piercing through me, but my gaze was more lethal.

"You deserved all this, Trina. This isn't enough, compared to what you've done.?

"I slapped her again. "Mistresses like you should know their place!" I slapped her again and she accepted it.

"Forget about it, Olive."

I opened my eyes and looked at Kraius. He was just maneuvering the car seriously. His expression was dark as he held the steering wheel tightly.

"I will. Thank you, Kraius." I nodded although he couldn't see me. I am very thankful because in times like this, there is someone that will help me. Someone I barely know.

I fixed myself before turning my attention towards the outside. The streets were dark as it's already past seven in the evening. It's not traffic anymore because I can only see a few vehicles. Kraius drove in speed as I indulged myself in the view outside.

The streetlights. The neon lights from different establishments. The tall buildings and even the people that were walking on the cobbled pavements. It was the usual picture of the busy life in the Metro.

I thought of being just like it. I want to experience life again. That I'll go back to my old self. A happy and cheerful one. Always smiling at everything. Genuine and not the one to pretend or to beg. I want to be me, again. I know the process will be long, but I'm willing to wait. I want to be healed and start again.

Not long after, Kraius and I arrived at a restaurant. We both ate in silence. I guess he understood the fact that everything isn't easy for me. It still hurts even if I try to forget it.
