Just To Have You

Chapter 2

Luisa who was her eyes closed, is fidgeting in her hospital bed. Her face full of sweat. Her lips moving in silent pleas..

Luisa was once again reliving her nightmares.

*******

"Anton! Please—"

A beautiful woman was talking and hurrying towards a handsome man. She wanted to tell him something. But all of a sudden, she was pushed and thrown down the cold floor. Her perfect curled hair was a mess. Her makeup was ruined. And there were bruises slowly forming at her wrist.

Glowering eyes which is filled with pure disgust was staring down at her. He was her husband. And she was his wife. Yet, here he was in his full glory and staring daggers at her.

The look he was giving her was so scary as if she had brutally murdered his entire family. Was it possible to hate someone you were married with to the point his eyes were full of venomous poison. That a single glance from his eyes and she's probably six feet under.

Standing beside the ruthless man was his childhood friend, a tiny and petite woman, whose face screamed innocence. Pure, docile and gentle, those were the words that most describe Carmen Reyes.

And because of her meek nature, docile smiles and allure of a very gentle and kind lady, she always provoked the protective nature of men, especially her childhood friend Anton, who vowed to ruin anyone that dared to harm her even if it's Luisa, his supposedly lawful wife.

"You disgust me.." He spat out each word, every syllable was like a knife prickling her heart. "Don't touch me with your dirty hands." His voice, so dark, but smooth and pleasant to the ears, echoed throughout the room.

The high socialites of New York were watching from the corner, their mouths moving non-stop as they mocked, gossiped, and laughed at the honorable Luisa Ortega, whose reputation was slowly being pushed to the ruins.

Married to the only heir of Salvatore, and as the Eldest daughter of the Ortega's she was once known as The Queen of the Socialites but ever since her husband become more loving and caring towards his childhood friend her place as the queen we're slowly crumbling.

Looking up at the man, Luisa can feel her heart aching in every direction and added with the horrible stare he was giving her, Luisa was surprised she's still breathing. Because if someone can just open her chest, anyone can see her heart was already turn into pieces.

Anton looked at her like she was the scum at the bottom of his shoes, something that was always with him and would never let go.

"Husband, I-"

"Did I allow you to call me that? You vengeful b*tch." He snarled at her, his voice dangerously low.

Luisa felt another pang within her heart. She looked at him as if she had been brutally kicked.

When did it all go wrong?

Luisa had dedicated all of her time, attention, and life to him. When he needed help in his company, she was there as the influential daughter of the Ortega family.

She helped him pull strings, threatened the people, did the dirty work, and allowed herself to be pushed into the brink of stress, and madness worrying over issues that he should've cared about. And while she slaved away at his desk, Anton Salvatore her lawful husband was actually with his childhood friend or maybe she's already his lover, because duh? Who sane woman will go with a man alone halfway across the world just for a vacation??

Luisa's long, slender fingers curled into fists. Because of her naivety and heart, she had decided to fall deeply in love with him. Even though she already knew from the very beginning that it's impossible for him to love her.
