Mr. Walton l Axel Walton Series

Chapter 20

Days passed, Axel always excused himself for an emergency meeting, always came home late, and was drunk all the time.

What happened to this guy? He always got drunk and blamed me for something I don't know. All I know is I was tired of understanding him.

He's my dream guy, the one I should marry, and there it is.

I got married to him.

I thought...

I thought I would be happy if I married him, as I expected.

But...

Was I happy?

When was the last day I smiled?

I don't even remember.

As I love him, I'll understand him for now.

But when I get really hurt and tired, I'll stop these feelings.

As I felt my cheeks wet, I decided to go to church to pray since it's Sunday, and I was all alone in this big house. I called Xian to come with me since Natalie was busy and had a check-up with her husband.

As Xian picked me up and we drove off to church, we arrived just in time for the mass.

As the mass started, I said everything to God about what happened to Axel and I.

I asked God to give me at least 3 signs that Axel, my husband, is really cheating and doesn't want me anymore.

Days passed since I asked God for at least 3 signs.

It was Friday today, our second month wedding anniversary. I was expecting Axel to surprise me or not come home late.

As I cooked Axel's favorite dish and baked a cake, I really made an effort since it's our second month anniversary.

As the sunset began to show itself and I finished cooking, I waited for Axel, sat on the couch, and drank milk.

These past few days, I realized I always craved something and ate a lot, as Natalie suggested I take the pregnancy test I bought at the pharmacy.

I walked towards the powder room to take the test and waited a few minutes.

As the results showed two lines, I became nervous and started shaking.

I took another pregnancy test to make sure, and all of them showed two lines, which means I'm really pregnant.

I started to tear up at what I just saw. I immediately took a photo and sent it to Natalie, and she was happy, as I expected, because finally her child in her womb has a playmate already. I was happy because Natalie was happy.

I can't wait to let Axel know about this! I'm quite nervous. I don't know how he will react.

As hours passed by and it was already midnight, Axel still wasn't here. It was raining heavily.

As I began to eat and clean up all the food, because there was a lot, maybe tomorrow I'll give some to Natalie and Xian.

As I was washing the dishes, the door opened and it was Axel.

He was drunk again.

As I walked towards him.

"Happy second month anniversary-"

He pushed me.

"Get the fuck off me!"

"You're drunk again?"

"Isn't it too obvious?!"

"What happend to you axel?"

"Why did you change, Axel?"

As I looked at him, tears escaped my eyes.

"I don't know you anymore."

"You've changed a lot!"

"I thought both of us were happy in this marriage."

I started to sob.

"Do you really want to know the truth?!"

"My parents just forced me to marry you!"

"All this time you were just faking that you love me?!"

"I-I love you, Axel" I stammered.

"And I don't," he said calmly.

I was shocked by his answer.

It hurt so bad.

I can't accept the fact that he doesn't love me as I do.

W-when did he love me?

In my dreams?

"I don't feel the same way as you do, Gabriela!" He shouted with anger.

"Why?" I whispered, tears silently pleading again.

"You ask me why?!" He shouted again.

"You already knew from the start that I don't love you!"

"B-but I love you, Axel..." I whispered.

"I love your sister, and you already knew that!"

I didn't know that you love my older sister, Ella, Axel.

All I knew was that I was denying the fact that you love me and not my older sister, Ella.

I just wish that this pain I've been feeling will ease sooner.

I just wish this was just a nightmare of mine.

But I remembered I asked God to give me a sign that you don't love me anymore, and this is the first sign that there will be heavy rain, and the truth will come out.

The truth is tired of hiding forever and decides to come out.

Instead of loving me because I'm your wife, but you choose to love my older sister, Ella. Axel.
