MY HUSBAND'S MISTRESS

Chris's POV

Yulan's sudden arrival made things hard for me. Sophia left disgruntled, and I gambled to go after her, but my brother stepped ahead and stopped me. "Get out of my way, Fedrick." I announced. "Why should I?" he resolved. "I don't have time for this." I sought another path, but Yulan got in my way. "Chris! Can we talk?" she said. "Yulan! We have nothing to talk about, and by the way, why are you here?" I asked. "I am here because of you; we have a lot to talk about, Chris." She gave her response.

There must be something wrong with her memory because if I can clearly remember, we broke up. "We have nothing to talk about, please, Yulan, let me go. Know we aren't dating anymore, can't you understand?" I vented and pushed her over to my brother.

I ran into Sophia's room without knocking and snatched her getting ready for bed. She turns with a cold stare and said, "Haven't you heard of knocking?" Sophia's attitude was like a piercing knife to my skin; it felt like all she could see in me was being a liar.

"Sophia! I'm sorry for not knocking, but can we at least talk?" I crashed the doors closed. She smiles. "I don't think there's any need to talk, Chris, and trust me, whatever happened back there is nothing, and it's okay, we are cool, and you've been a good ex-brother-in-law and a loving friend.

" She removes her wristwatch. Did she just call me a friend? I don't think I understand what's going on. "After all, I won't be staying here anymore, since we don't share any relationship. I feel I should leave." Sophia strengthened.

"Wait! You're leaving? Why?" I investigated. "Don't ask, Chris! Just be informed I'll be leaving in three months." She nudged her eyes to the door and signaled me to leave. I saw there was nothing I could say that could change her mind. "Good night," I said and left.

There was gloom written all over my face; Fedrick overheard and decides to infuriate me. "My oh my, what do we have here! Are those tears in your eyes, brother?" He sneered. "Don't you dare, brother! And don't you ever think of using this to your advantage because I won't stand back and watch." I answered back. "What advantage, Chris? I'm not the one whose girlfriend appeared unannounced.

" He rolls his eyes at me. Seriously? Why do I have this feeling that my brother is getting a kick out of this? "Are you enjoying this?" I asked, sensing an unusual settlement in his voice. "Enjoying what, bro! I'm happy that I'm not the only prodigal son here since father tagged me as one.

" He puts in, still in a chaotic tone. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Fedrick, but I am not like you, and yes! If I were you, I'll never leave a woman like Sophia; she's a rare gem, yet you did, and now hope to have her back into your life, how despicable." I rode down the stairs.

Fedrick got annoyed by my statement; he stepped on it behind me and shoved me onto the ground. "What the hell?" I lifted. "Take that back." He says aggressively.

"Take back what? I'm not lying because we both know how much you regret doing everything you did to your wife, and deep down, you want Sophia back." I said, copying the exact glare he had on. "Wow, says someone who's madly in love with the same woman his brother once married." Fedrick augmented.

I giggled. "Fedrick! I'm glad you said once married, so please, whatever dreams you have regarding Sophia ever coming back to you, should be tossed to the bottomless pit of hell. Excuse me, and goodnight, bro." I cleaned myself and left him still angered.

I slammed the doors to my room, and after some time, Yulan comes in without knocking. "Hello, Chris, may I please come in?" She says, standing at the entrance of the door. "You're already in, Yulan, and please tell me why are you still here?" I asked her.

"Your brother asked me not to leave, and before you say anything, there's something important I'll like to tell you." She walks closer. "Okay, then, please tell me what's so important?" I sat on the bed and looked at her. She sits on a wooden chair and folded her hands together.

Yulan all of a sudden became hesitant to speak. "Yulan!! Can you please tell me, and don't you even think of lying". I exclaimed. The tone of my voice gets her conscious, and she falls her eye back to me and said,"Why would I lie, Chris! You know me, and whenever I'm this serious, you should know something happened".

"Then tell me, what happened?" I added. "I'm dying, Chris". She announces.

"What do you mean, you're dying?" I rose from the bed. "I have leukemia, cancer of the blood, and you do know I don't have anyone since my parents died. You're the only person I have, please don't abandon me". She conveyed, locking her hands.

Question of the day? Chris seems to be stuck between a rock and a hard place, can he be able to get the woman his heart desires? Or watch her leave his life? Will Fedrick be able to make his ex-wife fall in love with him, or watch his brother win the heart of the same woman he once abandoned? Read to find out.
