Mr Wife ☑️

chapter 28: Hurting

Eco's POV

The feelings I'm feeling right now, I never went through such throughout my life. Anger? Hurt? Sad? Betrayal? All of them together. I'm angry because some stupid bitch likes my husband and still hits on him even knowing he's already married to me. Hurt because she plans to drug me and hook me up with some random guy and expose it to the whole world. Sad because Sky believed when Eve said I was the one who drugged the drink. And betrayal because apart from believing Eve and not me, Sky has the audacity to think and question me as why I drugged the drink.

Throughout the car ride, I stay quite as I look out of the window with many thoughts running in my mind. So much has happened. Sky knows that girl has something for him but still he continued to work with her and maybe didn't attempt to get rid of her. And now when I helped him, he pointed a finger at me and easily believed the girl. Is this the only trust he has in me? I'm completely lost, my heart shuttered because my own husband doesn't trust me and believe me.

When the car stops, I get down and directly make my way to our room. Since it's already late night, everyone is already sleeping and maid is the one who opened the door for us when I rang the doorbell. Going into the room, I change my clothes and sleep on the bed as I close my eyes. I'm still awake and aware of Sky's moments but I chose to pretend to sleep so that he won't talk to me. But still, he calls me out few minutes and when I don't respond back, he gives up and settles on the other side of the bed. After what happened at the party, I don't feel like talking to him. He hurt me and I feel so sad about it. Why didn't he believe me? My mind keeps thinking about it and I don't have peace because of it. With thoughts filled my mind, I don't remember when I droze off to sleep.

Morning arrives and I get ready before Sky could even wake up. I make my way downstairs and find uncle Sidney and uncle Elijah sitting in the living room while having their coffee.

"Oh, good morning, Eco. I'm surprised to see you so early in the morning especially since you went to a party last night." Uncle Sidney greets me.

"Um...I just got woken up and couldn't sleep again, uncle Sidney." I tell him.

"Do you want me to give you milk?" He asks while already standing up.

"No, uncle Sidney. Please enjoy your coffee. I'll bring myself." I stop him and smile at him before going to the kitchen.

I boil some milk and add some sugar before pouring it in my mug and walking out. I sit along with them. I thought they'll be talking but they're enjoying their coffee in silence and somehow it pleased me since my mood is off since last night and all I need now is silence. After them having coffee and I have milk, uncle Elijah goes to take a bathe while uncle Sidney and I prepare breakfast. He's the one who prepares while I'm just helping him and being careful this time. We prepare breakfast and set everything on the table at the right time when everyone came to eat breakfast. I avoid looking at Sky though I had no choice but to sit next to him. I also reject when he tries to help me eat and started eating by myself.

"Uncle Sidney, can I talk to you for a moment?" I request in the middle of eating because I don't know if I can disturb him.

"Yeah, Eco. What is it?" He permits me to talk.

"I didn't go to my parents house even once after the marriage. It's been almost two months. I miss them and want to spend time with them. I want to go home for few days, uncle Sidney." I put forth my request.

Since last night, it's becoming hard for me to stay in the same place with Sky. Not that I started hating him for that issue but I'm hurt and in pain. If I be here and avoid him, everyone will get the doubt and think things are going wrong with us. But it's not like that. I just feel we both need some break and time to think about our feelings towards each other. Maybe then I can know the limits of our relationship and don't just blindly think we're like any normal couple just because I like Sky. I just realised Sky may not actually like me. He never once told me about it but I thought even without outing his feelings, he already started liking me. I guess I was just being delusional. Because if he at least have a slightest feeling towards me, he would have started to gain trust on me which was proved wrong.

"Yeah, sure, Eco. Sorry, I should have thought of it but since I find you being happy here I thought it's fine. Now that it makes sense as why you're looking dull since morning. You must really be missing your parents. Go and stay there until you're satisfied." Uncle Sidney accepts my request.

"Thank you, uncle Sidney." I thank him to which he smiles with a nod.

We then get back to eating and soon finish our breakfast. While everyone gets busy with their respective works, I get ready so that I can leave already.

"Eco, are you going because of what happened yesterday?" Sky follows me to the room and asks me. I chose to stay silent which irritates him because he grabs my elbow and makes me look at him, "I'm asking you something. Why are you avoiding me?"

"I'm going because I miss my parents. Can't I miss them?" I revert him with a question.

"Is that the only reason?" He queries.

"You need anything more?" I counter him.

He sighs and losens the hold on my elbow but still continues to grab, "Eco, I'm sorry, okay. I know I shouldn't have doubted you and believed you but I just didn't want the innocent one to get accused, whether it was you or Eve."

"And you chose to accuse me who is innocent?" I question him.

"I just asked you, Eco. I exactly didn't blame you." He tries to reason.

"If you were just asking, the question should have been, 'Eco, are you really the one who did it?" But no, you said, 'Eco, why did you do it?' You didn't even ask me, you just straight away believed her and questioned me." I explain clearly as what hurt me.

"You're making it difficult, Eco. I didn't mean that and I didn't even think this deep." He shakes his head.

"You see it that way but what happened last night hurt me very badly, Sky. You didn't just not believe me but broke my trust on you as well." I try to stay strong because I'm feeling weak and feel like I'll end up crying any second now.

"Eco, I'm sorry. I didn't think better, I agree. And I promise I'll never repeat this again." He pleads but I pull my hand from him and turn around, "Eco."

"Don't touch me!" He calls and grabs my hand again but I pull away and warn him with anger, "I'm hurt and sad and angry. I don't want to see your face or get touched by you. I hate you, Sky." I yell at him before turning around and running to the bathroom before he could see my tears.

I slam the door close and slide against the door. My tears too betrayed me and ended up coming out even when I tried my best not to let them out. I'm hurt because of yesterday but I'm even more hurt to say I hate him when I don't. To stay away from him when I only want to be as close as possible to him. When I want to get touched by him and get myself lost in his love because I love him. I hate that I can't get all those and I hate myself for saying I hate him. Everything is hurting bad and it's all because of a stupid lady who still went after a married man.

Spending almost 20 minutes in the bathroom crying and all shit, I wash my face and come out. I find Sky sitting on the couch while looking out of the window. He might have heard the sounds but he's not looking at me. I don't mind him and dry my face before looking in the mirror and making myself look presentable. Grabbing my bag and phone, I head to the door to leave.

"I'll drop you." Sky's voice halt me and I hear footsteps approaching me.

I don't turn around and just walk out, Sky behind me. I bid goodbyes to everyone with a smile and leave as Sky drops me at my parents house. Without even glancing at him for once, I leave the car and enter my home.
