Unwanted Wife

Ahri Cohen , a 24 yrs. old girl who got forced to marry her childhood friend Kleo Saige . Her father thought she might be happy after knowing that their daughter had a crush on his long time Business Partner's son, KLEO. On the other hand Kleo had no choice, his father terribly wanted him to marry the daughter of the most richest Business tycoon in the country. After marrying Ahri, Kleo despise her and even cursed her to death for marrying him without even stopping their parents. For him, it's unfair to marry a girl he doesn't even love and what's making him hate her more is that, his freedom to enjoy his own life. Will Kleo learn to love her? Will Ahri get tired of loving him? Will they have a happy ending? Or they would stay as a married couple even if they're hurting each other and that would leave Ahri as an U N W A N T E D L O V E R · · ─────── ·?· ─────── · · C H A P T E R 1 5 months after the wedding- I sighed and started to pick all empty cans of beer. I just got home from work and here I am , cleaning my husband’s messed 'AGAIN'. It’s Saturday morning and Kleo’s dad would probably be here in an hour. It's like it’s their way to check on us if everything’s good between Kleo and me. After our marriage, I know this won't be easy for the both of us, knowing that Kleo does not have feelings for me. ‘Yes, sad truth’ I continued picking up some cans of beer scattered in every corner of our living room. My life as a wife is not what I’ve imagined of , of course! Who would want a husband that doesn’t even care about you or does not even want to look at you . It’s been five months since Kleo and I got married and in that five months , there’s no day that I haven’t cried silently. Well it’s my fault in the first place so I need to face my consequences. I sighed; ‘If I can just turn back the time’ I smiled bitterly and just focused on what I was doing when I spotted a small cloth that was hanging on the other side of the sofa. Walking towards that thing feels heavier and heavier and when I finally confirmed that it was really a woman’s underwear, I feel like someone stabbed me in the heart that I almost wanted to scream loud but I just couldn’t move. I feel like I was stock in my own feet and it feels so heavy. I couldn’t barely even noticed that I already ended up kneeling on the floor. ‘dang , it fckn’ hurt’ I took a deep breath to calm myself and wipe my tears that won't even stop from falling. I closed my eyes and just smiled . ‘Aren’t you giving up? Huh? Aren’t you tired self?’ I asked underneath myself and stand up. ''Well , as long as there’s still hope in me , I will fight for him, I will bring the old Kleo back''. Every time he would bring his girls if it's not a bra, lipstick and underwear, it would be a condom that was left in here. I don't know, maybe it's his only way to punish or show how he despises me as his wife. Sometimes when he's drunk, he would try to land his hands at me, well It did hurt but I just think that I deserve this for ruining his life. For ruining his freedom to choose whom he wanted to marry , his freedom to enjoy his single life. If I can just bring his mom back , I think he would still be the Kleo I knew before. I know I sound stupid, but I loved him, and I still believed in him. I don't want anything in return I just wanted him to be happy, I wanted to see the happiness in his own eyes. I snapped out of reality and turned my gaze at the door when I heard some footsteps. I hurriedly put the underwear inside the trash bin and smiled right on the front door as if I saw nothing. As soon as the door opened , I saw him. The masculine chest , the hazel brown eyes , the pink lips and the thick brows. Mr. Kleo Saige , the man whom I love but hurts me the most. As soon as he entered, he didn’t greet me and just looked at me blankly while loosening his tie off. Dang , why do I even find him so handsome by just doing that? I sighed and just got a hold of myself. Note to self not to make him angry or else you'll end up getting yourself hurt. I was about to utter a word when he suddenly spoke. “Don’t you fckng say stupid things to the old man you understand?” I nodded and averted my gaze from him. I don't know why I couldn’t look at him straight in the eyes. I feel like he is going to explode with anger at any moment and don’t have the energy to save myself from it. Furthermore, Dad may arrive for about an hour and I don’t want him to notice that there's something strange between us. Last time he asked about my bruise in the upper left of my leg , it really didn’t end well. He’s so mad to the point he asked Felly the maid what really happened, good thing she had a day off when Kleo did that to me. Felly is close to me, she knows about our marriage and how Kleo treated me but she doesn’t have any Idea that he's already hurting me physically. Although he just did that once yet I felt like I'm still traumatized by it. Felly occasionally visits here thrice a month since I don’t want to leave all the house chores to her especially that she's about 44 years old. So yeah, I did my very best to encourage dad that it was just a bruise by accident but still, he seemed not convinced. Good thing Kleo took an ice from the fridge and gave my leg a cold compress in order for the show to be more reliable. Somehow he got to believe in us . Kleo is such a good actor when his dad’s around, unlike when it's just the two of us. He’s always sitting next to me every time our parents are here, it was like he can’t even get a hand on me. Funny I know but that was one of the reasons why I'm still holding on. After that, he proceeded to the end of the hallway where his room was. Yep, we don't share a bed since we got married and it’s ok with me though, it's hard to sleep with the person if you two were not on good terms. It's kinda awkward for me, although sometimes I get jealous of those 'womans' he brings here. You know, the thought of seeing another woman can sleep with your husband right next to your room in your own house? Maybe if being a masochist has a reward? I’m already an athlete with a lot of trophies. What a shame. After I cleaned the house I just took a quick shower and checked my phone if there were some messages. Well, I just had three messages from Alice , my secretary . She’s in charge of the coffee shop I owned for now since I am busy with the pastry shop that is about to open next week. At least I can also get myself occupied in some things I love. After I blow dried my hair I hurriedly go downstairs as I hear the door bell rang. "Dad must be here' I whispered. I took a deep sigh before I opened the door , this is it. Let the show begin. I formed a wide smile and greeted dad as soon as he entered the house. " Oh my beautiful daughter in law, how are you?" He asked and gave me a small hug , I returned the favor and offered him a seat. "I'm good dad how about you? how's work?" I asked. He sat on the opposite side of the sofa and looked at me with a pleasing smile. '' I have good news! Our Company is celebrating its 20th anniversary and Hyden and I have decided that we wanted the both of you to introduce yourself as a married couple, what do you think? It's good right? Since both of you have been married for about 5 months, don't you think it is the right time people must know that you and Kleo are a couple?. We hadn't had a chance to introduce you both to the High Society because it's you and Kleo who insisted that your wedding must be private tsk tsk ,so I hope this time please grant our wishes hahaha". I started to feel nervous, what will be Kleo's reaction? Will he be okay with this? I know he will just get mad. ''When will it be?'' My heart raced a bit as I heard his masculine voice. We turned our gaze and saw him crossing his arms while leaning against the wall. What the heck is running on his mind? I know the idea of me being his wife and introducing us as a married couple in front of so many people is against his will. So how come he asked for it? '' For now we do not have the exact date of the event. But Since Kleo asked about it I'll consider that as a yes, how about you Ahri?'' . I looked at Kleo and just ended up seeing him looking at me with disgust. I sighed and looked away. 'What do you expect Ahri? He would willingly do that?' I don't know what's going on in his head, maybe he was planning to embarrass me in public or-_ ahhhh i don't know! It just feels so weird?! This is not him! '' Ahri? ''. I stopped panicking inside and just nervously nod my head. ''Good! Now that it's already settled I must excuse myself, I have some meetings to attend this afternoon''. He said while fixing his rumpled collar. I helped him with his suit and bid him my good bye. But before he stepped out of the door he turned his back and looked seriously at his son. ''Kleo my son, take good care of Ahri you understood? And Ahri, Your dad Hyden wants you to visit him tomorrow before you go to work, Lastly. Take good care of yourself kids.'' after that he already left us. 1 2 3 4 5 ''I'll eat outside, don't bother calling or texting me''. I hear him said. I just looked down and bit my lip while slowly nodding my head. After a minute, I hear his car's engine and in just a few seconds. I'm Alone again. Perfect ! A loud silence for a looser like me. ''Haha.'' I silently laughed. and then........................ I began to cry. What's new? pft N O T E !
