Chapter 14: Chapter 14

Twaine's Point of View :

It's been almost a week since I heard from Ana that she saw Kyle in the hospital but I just ignored it.

I don't want Kyle and I to fight, I also don't want to get hurt so I just didn't pay attention to it.

I am currently on my way today to bring lunch to Kyle at his office. I also feel sorry for him, he's really very busy because we hardly catch up at home anymore.

Every time I woke up, he was gone. Every time he came home too, I was asleep.

Fortunately, we are no classes today because of intrams. I don't have any sports to participate in, so I don't have to go to school anymore.

When I got out of the taxi, I immediately joined the Mendez family company. I was about to enter the elevator when someone called me.

"Twaine, Twaine my daughter-in-law!" It was aunt Kyla, Kyle's mom, was walking briskly towards me. She immediately hugged me tightly as soon as she approached me.

"Mom! How are you?" I asked her happily.

"I'm good. Thank you. Also, getting older!" She said laughing. I just laughed too.

"Why did you come?" She asked after we greeted each other.

"Oh, I would have served Kyle some food." I said with a smile. I even showed her the lunch box that I was carrying.

"Kyle? But, he's been on-leave for a week? He's just taking care of something..." Gradually, my smiles disappeared from my lips.

"He's on-leave? I don't know..." I asked confused.

"Didn't he tell you?" I shook my head in response.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Don't worry I'll talk to him." Aunt Kyla said shaking her head.

"Uhm aunt, maybe you haven't had lunch yet? I brought this marinated chicken. You can have it." I said with a forced smile.

"Yes, that's right. All right, I'll just eat that. Thank you." She said happily.

"You're welcome." I handed her the lunch box I was carrying.

After, I immediately left.

When I left MENDEZ CORPORATION, I finally gave up. I feel like I’m softening on what I know now. I need to be sure what Kyle is really up to.

I took a taxi and drove to Hartfeld International Hospital, where Ana mentioned that she had seen my husband. While riding the elevator to the 4th floor, where Roxanne is confined I couldn’t help but be nervous.

When I stopped on the 4th floor, it was as if some energy was holding me back.

‘What are you Twaine, you’re used to being hurt aren’t you? All right, take that step, don't be a coward!'

My mind chastises me. I slowly stepped out of the elevator and searched Roxanne's room. 'Room 2168' is Roxanne's room.

I forced myself to peek inside even though it was as if my chest was being pounded with extreme nervousness.

Tears welled up in my eyes at what I saw. I don't know but it's very painful. It was even more painful when I first caught them kissing in our house.

I saw my man hugging and kissing Roxanne. I can also see how Roxanne is fed up with what my husband is doing to her. I know they are best friends but why do I see differently? Kyle's concern for that woman. The way he hugs and kisses her is not just for best friends.

I wiped away the tears that were falling on my cheeks one after another but it didn't seem to dry out. I was also holding my chest because it was also tight which caused my breathing to slow down.

After they kissed and hugged I even saw how Kyle caressed Roxanne's hair, as well as how he held her hands as if he was saying, 'You'll be alright, I'm here for you'

Sh*t I wanted to slap them both the moment I saw them, but I tried to calm myself down. I feel sorry for Roxanne but I am more hurt by what my husband is doing.

When I saw Kyle stand up I quickly hid on the side of the door. I can also see how Roxanne stops Kyle in his attempt to leave her side.

"A-are you friends with Roxanne?" A young woman in her 40s asked me.

"She's my t-teacher," I replied as I wiped away my tears. I know my eyes are swollen because it hurts.

"Really? Thank you for visiting her. Come in." she invited me but I refused.

"Not anymore. She's still talking with someone, maybe he's probably her friend. I'm also going somewhere. " I forced a smile to refuse.

"That man? He's my daughter's fiancee. I'm really glad he's here to watch over my daughter." She said sadly.

"All right, I'll be going." I say goodbye and started walking away.

The moment I turned my back to that hospital bedroom where Roxanne is confined, was also the moment where my heart suddenly died for a while.

'Kyle was her daughter's fiancee? Really?'

That's my husband! How did my husband become her daughter's fiancee?

It's late in the evening. My eyes are still swollen. I just sat on the sofa while waiting for Kyle. I want to clarify everything to him.

"Good evening wifey," he greeted me happily when he got home.

"—why is the gate not close? You, what if someone enters here and I'm not there?" He said with concern.

"Because I'm too lazy to open it, in case you come." I said coldly.

"Besides, if someone enters here and killed me if ever—it would be better," I said sarcastically. I can see the change in Kyle's face.

"By the way, where have you been?" I asked.

"Wifey, what's that question? Of course I'm in the office...working." He said. Liar!

"Really? You're in the office? I'm from there Kyle, Mommy Kyla said you're on leave for a week!" I said to him in a high pitch voice. I could see the shock in his eyes.

"Wifey,"

"Do you have a fiancee?" I asked him in disbelief.

"Wifey—"

"Tell me Kyle, how long are you going to cheat on me?" My tears started to flow again.

"I thought we're okay? I thought it's clear how we feel about each other? But what about your lies?" I asked him angrily.

"Twaine, sorry. I'm sorry," he suddenly knelt down in front of me while crying and apologizing to me.

'Sh*t! Don't be like that Kyle, I don't want to see you begging and crying in front of me. C'mon hubby, stand up there and I'll give you a hug and kiss'

I want to tell him that because honestly, I don't want him to do that. But it's too painful on my part.

"Do you love her?" I asked him which caused him to look up at me.

"Of course not! You're the only one I love." He answered.

"What's the point of kissing her and hugging her tightly, huh? Kyle, I saw you. I saw you earlier!" I shouted because of too much pain. This is the first time I'm experiencing this kind of pain—and I can't take it anymore. It's too much!

"Wifey, sorry! Sorry!" Suddenly he was crying in front of me again as he hugged my legs.

"If you really love me, then leave Roxanne alone!" I said.

"But I can't do that Twaine." He answered. It was as if heaven and earth fell on me because of his answer.
