The Gap

Chapter 13

Wyatt Malcolm

I imbibed a glass of aqua vitae and let it slug down on my throat. Harshly dashed the coffee table with the wine glass I am holding.

"Fuck!" I howled. All I can feel now is frustration and lividity. I don't know what to do or what not.

It's been four days since that incident and I can't help myself but to be furious. If it wasn't for that crazy, stupid and demented random fan, I wont be suffering like this.

"Nagseselos ka ba kanina?" I tried to hide my smile. My wife is jealous. She shouldn't be, Tamsin is Jack's. Besides, Xochitl is too perfect for me to divert my attention to other women.

"I saw you frowned awhile ago," I added. I saw her mortified. She looks uneasy as if I caught her did something mischievous.

"H..hindi ah," She said stammerimg and pivoted.

"Oh really?" I smirked. My wife is denying it.

The doorbell rang that's why I excuses myself to Xochitl to check who's on the outside. My brows furrowed. I saw a tall blonde standing infront of our house. I haven't seen her before, she isn't familiar to me.

"Excuse me? Who are you?" I asked politely. But I was surprised when the blonde suddenly hugged me.

"I miss you so much baby!" She exclaimed. I forcely pushed her and cursed.

"I'm so sorry. You must be in the wrong house. I don't recognise you," I said flatly. But the blonde just flashed a smile.

"Baby it's me! I am your girlfriend," she insisted on calling me baby. She has a high-pitched voice which is a sore in my eardrum.

"Will you please go away and stop fooling around?" I hissed and started to walk away. If this is some sort of a joke, this ain't funny.

"Ano ba! Makinig ka naman sa akin kahit ngayon lang!" The blonde yelled as she held my hand and made me face her.

"Will you please stop? Huwag kang mag-eskandalo rito," I said angrily. I don't really know this bitch yet she has alot of guts to make a scandal infront of my house.

I was about to speak when the blonde suddenly held my cheeks and kissed me. I was surprised, I pushed her harshly and let her fall into the ground. I angrily turned my back on her and I was shocked to see Xochitl standing infront of me. Her mouth is covered with her both palms.

"Xochitl, this is not what you think," I tried to explain but she didn't listen. Xochitl ran inside the house and left me.

And now here I am in our house. Beer bottles and shards scattered in the whole living room. Those photographies that was neatly hanging in the wall before are all wrecked now. Our house is now a mess. I even fire all of our maids and drivers just to be alone in our house, and for them not to see me in my worst.

Jack made me stay away from his sister. After that day, I am peacefully sitting on our couch and thinking how will I make Xochitl hear me out, but then found myself lying on the dirty floor and saw Amos glaring at me and almost killed me with his endless punches.

I don't know what will I do. If I showed up myself to Xochitl, Jack will take her away from me.

After few more drinks, I decided to take a bath and search for that damn woman who is the cause of this whole mess. I've got to find her and make her clarify everything to my wife before everything gets worst.

Mackenzie Xochitl

"Did you let him explain?" Harriet asked. Hindi ko siya kinibo. I should've listened to him before. Hindi ko dapat siya sinampal. What I did was wrong, it's just that I was blinded with anger before.

"H..hindi," I admitted. Even of I am still mad to Wyatt, still, hindi ko parin maiwasan na mag-alala. It's been four days since that incident at the hospital. Four days of no connection and news about him. Hindi ko rin maalagaan si Margon because of stress, plus, si mga katulong lang ang mga kasama ko rito dahil umalis si Kuya Jack. Harriet is visiting me pero umaalis rim kaagad dahil sa trabaho niya.

I've been an absentminded these days. My mind is preoccupied. Iniisip ko kung bakit hindi na nagpapakita sa akin si Wyatt. Did he gave up already? Sumama na ba siya sa babaeng hinalikan niya? Does he still care about me and our daughter? My mind is in the abyss of endless questions.

"Hayaan mo, kakausapin ko siya para magka-ayos na kayo," she said as she stood up from her sit. Looked at her wrist watch and bid good bye. I just nodded at her and watched her walk out of the house.

Staring at the faunae themed walls, on the ornaments and into my palms. I think I'd go crazy with the silence.

I was thankful when the doorbell rang. I stood up and ran as fast as I ca and excitedly opened the door, hoping it would be my husband, Wyatt. My heart is thumping out loud as I held the door knob. I breathed in and out to make myself calm then opened the door.

My brows furrowed as I stare on the woman standing infront of me. Purple streaks on her hair, high class and elegant looking, with her pair of hazel brown eyes that are coldly staring back at me, and her red lips that are pursed. She looks bored as if she's been waiting outside for hours.

"I know I am gorgeous. Stop staring at me, hindi tayo talo," Ate Tamsim said while flashing a cocky smile.

"My brother isn't in here. You can leave now," I was about to close the door when stopped me using her feet to block the door and opened it.

"Huwag kang mag-inarte, beastmode ako," she said as she pushed me and entered our house.
