His Bedwarmer’s Wife

“No, Ley is gone and no one knows where she is. She left because of me and because of my stupidity. I killed our baby, that’s why for sure even if I kneel down to her she won’t come back. I am only hoping now that when we meet again she will accept me even as a friend.”

Kyla did not speak. She smiled foolishly then laughed and laughed.

“I know that you missed her,” she said while laughing. “I know Ley more than you, Hunter. I’ll just tell you, I know what that woman is doing now. Believe me, she will just heal the wound completely. And once she comes back, she will ruin you and me. both of us.” She tapped my cheek lightly.

“Wish granted Hunter, your free now because I also know that even if you kneel in front of Ley, she will never accept you back. After all this game. I win over Ley. Because she didn’t get you from me until she surrendered. And for sure, you still won’t be with her because she’s is the kind of person who when she is released she never picks up again.”

She walked inside my room and I did not follow her. I decided to just sleep in Ley’s room. But after a while, Kyla came out again with a suitcase. “Thank you for loving me, Hunter. You’re a great man and I’m sorry for using you.”

I want to follow her to ask the last thing she said.

USING YOU.

But I just ignored it and entered the room. I’m alone now, and in the end, I was left alone. I lost the woman who loved me as well as the woman I once loved.

I eventually became the loser for the three of us.

THREE MONTHS

Back to normal life. Though sometimes innovative. Almost three years I am with Ley and six months with Kyla. I lived with a partner for more than three years. But now I live alone.

I always remember Ley. Where she was and what happened to her. I missed her a lot. But I know once she comes back and she won’t be the same as before. I broke her. Emotionally, physically.

Who is a fool to go back to the person who hurt you so much?

But I’m still hoping that if she’s come back. We can start as a friend and that’s where I’ll start to get her to come back to me. She loves me and I feel it. I will do everything just to get Ley back. Even it will take the time I will wait and endure.

I just arrived in Bulacan because Ashley invited me to her birthday. I was just about to enter the house when I saw her standing to greet me.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“You finally here, Hunter,” she said and hug me. “I miss you,” she added. She lived here in the house daddy bought for her on her eighteenth birthday.

“I miss you too, where are they, Am I late?” I ask and look around.

“They’re inside, in the bar section. And nope, you’re not late because someone hasn’t arrived yet. Come on,” she said to me.

I also did not return to Bulacan for several months. I immersed myself in my work so that somehow I couldn’t think of anything. If it wasn’t for Ashley’s birthday I wouldn’t be here.

“Hunter!” The three idiots shouted at the same time. I didn’t think they were here either. Ashley just winked at me and then motioned for me to stand beside her. It looks like the drinking has started but no one is drunk yet.

I immediately looked at those here, Hera was here while holding a soft drink and immediately greeted me.

And — fuck.

What are they doing here?

“Oh! by the way, Hunter, that is Asher, and that one is Agatha his sister my best buddy. Do you remember Agatha? You saw her once during mommy’s wake.” But I ignored what she says. Because I am still confused.

Asher just nodded at me. While Agatha smiled broadly and waved as if to say SURPRISED.

“Oh you set there,” Ashley said to me looking clueless. I looked at her who was seriously translating the wine then laughed at Hera.

So, they are friends?

Is this a coincidence or did my sister do something?

I don’t want to confront her now because maybe it’s all just a coincidence.

“Hunter, do you know what happened to Kyla?” Hera asked me so I stopped getting alcohol and then looked at her as well as the others.

“Nah! We haven’t had contact since we broke up.”

“She disappeared for two days and then yesterday she was found in the middle of the road unconscious, without clothes. Naked for short.”

“What?” We simultaneously question.

Looks like even Ashley doesn’t know either.

“What happened?” Dave asked. Hera shrugged.

“The news said she was ok. But she admitted that she was gang-raped. She’s not sure how many because they covered her eyes. She’s also confused about what happened.” All I could do was sigh and feel pity for her.

“Poor thing! It added to their problem. Last month, their fishpond had a problem. The fish that were supposed to be harvested are all died. Also the shrimps, so according to them, it got poisoned. And they had a new debt to daddy. Dad is a supplier of shrimps and fish seeds. Then last week, there was a commotion in the plaza because of the gang war. Someone threw a bottle with gasoline. Unfortunately, their boutique was caught the fire. It was really burnt, and take note they said that there is a product that should be ready to deliver out of the country.” Hera’s long litany.

I suddenly felt sorry for Kyla because of what she was going through now.

“How is she?” I asked.

“I think she is still ok like nothing happens, after all, Kyla is a strong woman.”

“Pity her, she’s unlucky,” Agatha whispered but she looked like she was laughing at what happened to Kyla.

“That’s what you called karma, Agatha.” Suddenly my chest throbbed when I heard that familiar voice.

I can’t go wrong. I still remember her voice. “What goes around, comes around. Hi guys! Am I late?” she added.

I slowly turned around to make sure I wasn’t mistaken. But even before I could turn around completely, someone tapped my shoulder and startled me.

“Long time no see, Hunter, I’m glad your here.” I looked up and then looked at her.

She was wearing a knee-length one-strap dress. Her hair is long with colors. She has thick makeup with red lips and thick eyeliner.

“Hailey?” I was nervous to call her name.

“How are you, Hunter?” she asked that make all my hair raised and she comes closer to the sibling and set down next to Asher.
