He Only Married Me For Revenge

Chapter 59: The start of the real pain

When he got a call from Stacey earlier, he told me he's just going to talk to her and ask her what was the important thing that it couldn't wait until the next day. When he left, I started to think of any possible things that she wants to discuss with him.

It also crossed my mind that maybe she would ask for his forgiveness and start a new life away from him.. or maybe start a new life together with him, again. And because I don't know what's Gabriel real feelings for her, it makes my head hurt because of thinking what might they be doing.

I waited for him 'till eleven pm last night, but he didn't come home. I tried to call him until this morning but he's not answering his phone.

And exactly nine in this morning... he came home, finally. But there's something changed in him. His eyes turned more cold than usual or even more cold than the first day I met him. He looked more serious and had a deep scowl on his face. And if you would look closer, there were deep bags around his eyes.

"Gab."

I tried to greet him with a cheerful voice, but he just ignored me. He walked past me without giving me even a simple glance. I also noticed the stain on his shirt and the smell of alcohol from him.

-'What happened to him?'-

I furrowed my eyebrows and followed him into his mini-bar inside the house.

"Gabriel."

"Leave me alone, Madi. Not now."

I gasped when I heard he called me 'Madi' again. His voice held seriousness and irritation.

"But I just want to know------"

"Please, Madielyn! Not now! Just please leave me alone!"

My hand automatically lifted up to my chest as I gulped sudden ache. I just want to know if he already had breakfast this morning before he drinks. I can't help not to ask myself.. what happened to their talk yesterday? Was it that bad.. why did he come home in this state? Why did he look like the whole world was in his both shoulders?

He opened the bottle of wine while clenching his jaws. I gulped and inhaled deeply before I opened my mouth again.

"If you just need someone to talk, I'm just in my room." I said turning my way back to the living room. But I was just taking my third steps when he called me.

"Madi."

I sighed and looked around him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to raised my voice on you." he said but still in foul mood.

I just smiled and shook my head. "No, it's okay. I'll just go to my room." And I didn't wait for his response, I walked away and headed upstairs.

I blinked away the tears that formed in my eyes.

"It's okay, Madi. Maybe he just has some problems."

I told myself when I entered my room. It's been a long time since I saw him in his old self. I'm not used to the old Gabriel anymore. I'm now used to the sweet, caring and jolly Gabriel that I am with.. in this past months.

I didn't noticed that I fell asleep just by thinking of what happened to Gabriel last night. I get up and looked at my bedside clock, it's already two o'clock in the afternoon and I skipped lunch.

"I've slept for three hours?" I asked myself while getting up. I decided to go down and search for Gabriel but I couldn't see him around the house.

"Elsa, have you seen Gab around?" I asked our maid when I reached the kitchen.
