His Wife (Slow Update )

chapter 4

"Thank you, Levy, Wendy!"

"Goodbye, Juvia-san!" Wendy said then waved at me. I waved back at them and smiled. I entered our house with a smile on my face but that smile disappeared when I saw Gray-sama with another girl again.

"Oh look, the bitch has arrived." The woman eyed me and I suddenly wished that I didn't come home yet. I'm just going to get hurt and cry all night. Here it comes.

"Stay out of my sight, will ya?" The woman spoke, "You're such an eyesore." This is Ultear, one of Gray's flings. Ultear then sits beside Gray on the couch, and then she swings her exposed legs from her skirt's slit and brings these over his lap. She then gives him a purposeful grind to his groin. He wrapped an arm around her hips and jerked her body closer to his so that she now sits on his lap. I looked away.

"I said, get out of here!" She said irritatedly then she threw the nearest thing her hand could reach—a hardbound book, sitting on the side table by the couch. Luckily, I was able to evade it. Well, at least my reflexes aren't affected by the tumor in my head...yet.

I looked at Gray, to check if he will be reprimanding her or if he will be giving me a morsel of sympathy but to my demise, he had an annoyed face on. So he doesn't care at all. He will never.

"Babe, let's go back to our business." He says huskily to Ultear.

"Hmmn, yeah." I looked at them and saw Gray hungrily kiss Ultear. Wait, don't tell me they will do it? In front of me? In our house? No. Please, just no.

"Gray-sama, stop. Please," I begged for them to stop, an excruciating pain coils around my heart.

"Gray-sama, please...I'm begging you. Don't do this to me. Anything but this..." Tears started rolling down on my cheeks as I tried to touch his shoulder. He flinched, which made Ultear jump to her feet.

"Don't touch me!" Gray finally stood up. He wrapped his arm protectively around Ultear's waist and she responded by coiling her arms around his torso.

"May I remind you, you betrayed me first. So you have absolutely no right to tell me to stop whatever it is I'm doing, because," Gray then pulled Ultear's body flush to his side and continued, "this is the only woman I want now. So you should just shut up and get lost."

Ultear grinned wickedly and she reached for his face, kissing him passionately. She broke the kiss and a pleased smile was on Gray's lips.

Ultear traced Gray's lips with her index finger and said—no, purred, "Why don't we take this upstairs, hmm? Where we'll have privacy and..." Ultear's finger then traced its way from his lips, to his jaw, down to his neck, to his exposed collarbone, and then tugged him by his pant's belt hoops, "...and more fun."

Gray chuckled, his tone laced with lust. In one sweep, he took Ultear in his arms and carried her upstairs.

"The door's that way. Bye, bitch!" I caught a glimpse of Ultear pointing a finger to the front door and both she and Gray laughed before they disappeared into his room, a thud and a click confirming that they are about to do what they have implied to do.

I heard their loud moans and I fell on my knees and my hands trembled. Tears, so much tears were dripping onto the floor. I can barely breathe and I had to open my mouth to take in big gulps of air. I gripped my chest. My heart, it hurts so much. The pain that coiled around it from earlier now seems to have grown thorns and buried them deep into it.

"This is the only woman I want now. So you should just shut up and get lost."

"This is the only woman I want now. So you should just shut up and get lost."

"This is the only woman I want now. So you should just shut up and get lost."

Why? I did everything I can. Why can't he love me again? Why won't he listen to me? Why does he always hurt me? I offered to him everything that I can, and completely submitted myself to him; I sacrificed my career, my heart, my time, my pride, but...but why can he throw it all away now so easily?!

"You know what, Juvia? You should really leave him. He's cheating and he's not even trying to hide it at all from you."

"Juvia, please... Stop. Just stop it! He's not only hurting you psychologically but now, he's also doing it physically! That's the last straw!"

Juvia can't give up! He's my husband and Juvia loves him even if... even if—

"Even if he's turned into a monster? The Gray you loved before is no longer the same man you have at your house. He wants you to leave him, I'm sure of it."

"It's been seven months! He didn't even give you a chance to be heard. So, he'll just keep hurting you. For Pete's sake, Juvia! I want to remind you, there's a tumor in your head that could potentially kill you if Gray doesn't beat you to it. So please Juvia, no more. It's time to choose yourself."

Maybe Meredy is right. I should just give up on him. I'm already tired.

I'm tired of crying every night. I'm tired of trying my best for him to love me again. I'm tired of trying to see past the reason behind the pain he's giving me. I'm so damn tired.

I should stop this nonsense. Maybe, it's time to give up. Maybe, I should let go.

"...please Juvia, no more. It's time to choose yourself."

Even if it pains my heart, I will let him go. After all, he did say that he already wants another woman, someone who is not me.

I wiped my tears and reached for my phone. I dialed a number and I couldn't help the sound of my cracked voice, "Meredy..."
