Once a Wife [English Version]

Chapter 4

"I need to see my wife!" Maricar heard his voice once she reached the hospital. Dominic is going berserk around the nurses!

"Hon, I'm your wife .." Cynthia was crying while in front of Dominic. "Don't you remember me?"

"I do not know you!" He pushed her away, "Where's Maricar? Where's my wife?" Maricar seems to have poured cold water all over her. What happened to Dominic?

"Maricar?" She went back to her senses. Their eyes met. "Sweetheart" he sweetly called her, like before.

Maricar could not move her feet. Why would he look at her like that again? He looked at her with eyes full of adoration like when they first met.

"Hey, sweetheart, I miss you," he said lovingly. "What's wrong?"

Maricar looked at Cynthia's face and right there she knows what it means, she must have known because that's what she looked like when Dominic left her.

That pain in her eyes when Dominic said that he got another woman pregnant. When he demanded an annulment. When he did not have to tell her that the love was already gone but his eyes already said it. When he broke their children's hearts.

Maricar knew that.

"Sweetheart, I swear I didn't know her," Dominic said turned his head on Cynthia. "Hey, get out of here!" He shouted.

"N-no .. no!" Cynthia begged. "Maricar, tell him the truth!" She demanded and grabbed her wrist. "Tell him the truth!"

"Get your hands off my wife!" Dominic shouted. "Doc, can you send that woman out? She has nothing to do with me" Dominic told the doctor and instructed the nurses to send her out.

She wanted to stop them, but the cat got her tongue.

"No! Dominic, I'm your wife!" But still, she was sent out.

Maricar was left alone in the room. She was left there with the man she could not even recognize.

No, Maricar .. he was your husband

No, she recognized him but he changed a lot or the feeling was too familiar that she felt nostalgic once again.

"Sweetheart" his face was full of worry. "I swear, I do not know her" he repeated.

She clenched her fist.

"Maricar, can we talk?" Thank goodness the doctor called her because she didn't know what to do next.

They came out of the room and stood in front of the door.

"Doc, what's happening with him? Why can't he remember Cynthia and what was he saying that I'm his wife?"

"He has a case of retrograde amnesia," the doctor said, "When I asked him earlier what was the date today, he said that it is 1998"

It's 2013.

"W-why? That was a long time ago!" That was the year she gave birth to Slyther.

"We still need to conduct few more tests so that I could refer him to some specialist" He added. "At the moment, he should not be forced to remember things he missed, but he must also be careful about his health, aside from being memory impaired. He is also physically damaged "

Maricar looked at Dominic in the small round window of the door. He was just lying on the bed with eyes on her, his forehead wrinkled and seemed to be confused with what was happening.

"He should know the truth--"

"Maricar, would you like him to remember?" She looked at the doctor. Of course, she wanted that!

"Yes, Doc"

"Then, we must not force him. When we force the patient to remember, he may never remember it anymore. As of now, the memory loss is temporary but if we forced him to remember the things he missed, his amnesia may be permanent"

"What are you suggesting, Doc? That I should ride this show? He has a new wife!" She blurted out 44"I can not pretend to be his wife. I do not want to be a mistress!"

"Maricar--"

"My life is already okay. I don't want my children to be in any trouble " She said, "I-I can not. Cynthia should know about this"

The doctor defeatedly sighed. He understood.

"I'll talk to her," he excused himself then left. From the window she just glanced at her ex-husband, he smiled at her but she looked away.

That's right Maricar. It's been seven years, you should walk away. This is not your business anymore.

"Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday... Happy Birthday to you ..." Maricar turned her head only to be given a sweet kiss.

"Am I late?" He sweetly asked while his hands were wrapped around her waist, slowly pulling her closer.

"You're always on time" she replied and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I missed you"

He kissed her on the forehead and then went to the tip of her nose. "I missed you most" and then kissed on her neck and down on the shoulder.

Oh, how she missed those kisses. "Tristan .." she moaned as he pulled her up and placed her on the countertop.

"You smelled so good" he murmured as she kissed her neck, again "You're definitely mine tonight" he added.

Maricar was thrilled and seemed to be speeding up. She just felt her back on a soft mattress as she felt the wonders he does on her body.

The next moment became blurry. He just gave her the best birthday gift ever, they made love twice and it was perfect.

"How's your day?" Tristan asked while stroking her naked back. She was lying in his chest and nuzzling his scent.

"The kids woke me up with a birthday cake and a song," she said. "Then, Ate prepared a dinner to their house with the children"

"Too bad I missed it" he murmured. Maricar looks at him. "I'm sorry for these past few days, I had to work double-time so when we got married, my focus will be on you" he lovingly said.

"You're a hidden romantic, aren't you?" She smiled. "They missed you, especially Huffle. They often asked you"

"How's our princess? Our daughter is growing up beautifully, what if she has an admirer?"

She just loved how protective Tristan to her daughter. He really treated her children as his own flesh and blood.

"She's only 11 years old. She does not know about courtship" She said. "Speaking of boyfriend, Gryffin and Slyther already have a girlfriend" She chuckled.

"They got that from me!" He smirked. Maricar struck his naked chest and raised a brow. "Why? I really take good care of you"

"What are you teaching the children?" She whispered. He kissed him on the lips and embraced tightly.

"Do you think it's possible for us to have a child?" Tristan asked out of nowhere. "Do not get me wrong, I love the kids. I love them like my own but--"

Maricar closed his mouth with her lips and then went above him!

Tristan smirked. Damn! How he loved this side of her, who would have known that she has this wild and crazy side?

"My OB said that I'm still healthy to bear one. The children also agreed and they're excited to have another sibling, all things are set." She smiled and kissed the side of his jaws.

"Are you still on the pill?" He sexily whispered and kissed her while his hands holding her waist.

"Marry me first, then I'll stop it"

Maricar screamed when he picked her up and switched their place. The room was filled with their naughty noises. Good thing that Maricris had children for their Friday sleepover, it would be embarrassing if they could hear them and be distracted.

Maricar did not say anything about Dominic. For what? She was done with him, his wife was there to take care of him and tell the truth.

She doesn't need to say anything because it's not important, anymore.
