My Husband's Rival

MHR : 42

CHAPTER 42

EIRLYS

THE RAGE IN Draven's eyes is so damn visible. Walang mapaglagyan ang galit sa mga mata nito habang nakatitig sa kabaong ng kanyang ama.

The funeral was taken care already. Naayos na lahat within 24 hours. Including the autopsy of Draven's father.

Draven and Duke insisted to do the autopsy para malaman ang nangyari pa rito maliban sa binaril ito. Lumabas sa autopsy na their father was beaten with a baseball bat. Halos madurog ang bungo nito. But the main cause of his death was a gunshot directly to his abdomen. He's old and he has a low risk of surviving that's why he's sleeping peacefully now.

Hindi ko alam ang mararamdaman ko. Galit ako sa matanda, oo, pero hindi kailanman pumasok sa isip ko na ipapatay ito despite all of his insensitiveness.

I stood up because staying beside Draven is draining me, too. I was about to walk out when Duke spoke.

"Where are you going?"

Gusto kong mag-taas ng kilay dahil sa sinabi nito. Who is he to ask me that question?

"Why?" I asked.

The way he looks at me, he's suspecting me, huh?

"Where are you going? You should be beside my brother," Mariin nitong sambit sakin.

Bumaling naman ang tingin ko kay Draven na nakatitig lang sa ama niya.

How odd. I don't feel any sadness or sympathy towards Draven. Gano'n na ba kalamig ang puso ko? I don't feel sad for him at all. My heart screams fairness. He lost his father while I lost our son. I'm sure he's more devastated when he lost his father.

Idagdag pa na... he took me without my consent or without even my knowledge. He took advantage of my drunkness. No wonder why my heart remains cold towards him because he kept doing shits.

"I just need to get something." I answered.

"What is it?"

Why is this man kept asking me as if he needs to know everything I'm doing? He's nothing, but my brother-in-law. Damn this man.

"Why do you need to know?" Kunot noo kong tanong.

He pressed his lips together and did not answer me. Tinalikuran ko na lang ang mga ito nang magpasyang umalis.

My family was there, but I chose not to talk to them because they are just going to ask me where am I going. Which is I don't want them to know, of course.

I was about to enter my car when I felt someone's presence behind me. Nilingon ko ito agad.

Duke.

I snorted. "What do you want?" I crossed my arms in front of my chest.

May bahid ng galit at kapilyuhan ang mga mata nitong nakatingin sakin. He looks like Draven, but in a dirty version.

"You think you can fool me?" He arched his brow. Hindi ako nagpatalo at nag-taas din ng kilay.

"Are you out of your mind? I don't know what you're talking about." Sambit ko.

He chuckled sarcastically. Pasimple kong tinignan ang paligid para makita kung may nakapaligid ba samin ngunit wala naman.

"Eliza told me, Eirlys. You can't deny your affair now."

I didn't show any emotion when he said that. I don't want to get caught because of my emotion.

"And you believed her? How ironic, huh? You believed her that fast? Why? Because you and your family kneeled for me? For my money? That's why you're easy to manipulate by that whore?" I said without minding how it will affect his ego.
