Chapter 75: Chapter 75

River's POV

“Damn, Man, you’re so whipped. I won't be surprised when Aviena got scared at you,” Lake told me while laughing.

I just followed my gaze to Aviena who was just going straight to our room.

"She will melt with the way you look at her right now," Pride said who I just heard talking now. I don't even know where the viper keeps on going because he just suddenly disappears.

"You all should shut up and just fucking drink when we're done here," I said, annoyed with them. The idiots laughed while Demon and I also wanted to enter our villas. These assholes want to drink more. All right, destroy your livers.

I want to go in and sleep next to Aviena. Can't you believe it? She's saying that we don't even sleep in one bed. So she doesn't really care if I sleep beside her at all.

I just shake with the thought. We were finishing when Ocean called me.

"Come on!" she look so nervous so I furrowed my forehead at her.

“Marrisa's ex is here. He's begging Marissa to come back again. That fucking asshole,” Ocean said annoyed as she pulled me towards where Marissa was.

"Who let him in?" I ask.

“He’s famous. The guards thought that he was invited.” I just shake my head because I knew immediately the consequences. Marissa will just end up forgiving him.

“Please, I’ll be better, Marissa. Forgive me,” he said. He's really here holding a bouquet of flowers. That's how he always does things. After hurting our friend, he will come back with flowery words and soften Marissa again. That's how it always ended.

"Get Marissa, I'll call some guards," Ocean said so I just nodded before grabbing Marissa by the wrist and taking her to an uncrowded place. I was just shaking my head when I saw what it looked like. She's smiling again.

"Maybe he'll change this time," she said so I can't help being annoyed. That asshole will never change.

“How many times did he do that to you? 10 times? More than 10? Do you think that the ten times he hit you, he will change in the eleventh time?” I ask. She knows how people will be doomed when they fall but she didn't know her downfall at all.

She ended up going again with him. I can't help but frown when I saw the asshole's face, he look so stupid. I just winced as I watched them walk away. The idiot is with his fucking game again.

I sigh. I know she'll end up realizing things and that's her decision to make.

I saw Aviena going inside our room so I couldn’t help but grin at the thought that she was actually waiting for me. I know that my face is so thick to think about that but I just can't help it.

I think twice or not just twice if I'll sleep beside her. I won’t live with those boundaries anymore. I’ll just make her head over heels to me too until she would like to marry me without thinking about different things.

“What are you doing here?” she asked raising an eyebrow at me.

“What? I’m going to sleep here?” Fuck. Can I really do this? Can my heart handle it?

“Why? Don’t tell me you want me to sleep away from you when we already married each other 2 times?” I even asked. I don’t even know where did I get the guts to say it.

I thought we are already fine after our talk in Bali but just a few days a months after we came back she was already kissing another boy.

“Is Aviena there?” I asked Tessy, Aviena's assistant.

“Oh, Sir River! You are here. She's there with Sir Tom at a nearby resto from here,” Tessy said to me so I nodded.

"We'll come with you," Rose said, she is Aviena's sister.

We really did go there. I was about to call Aviena when I saw that Tom and she were talking. I couldn’t help but frown as I stared at them. I was about to get there when I saw how Tom kissed Aviena. What a fucking asshole.

I was so annoyed that I was not able to talk to her that night. And the next morning? They are fucking together again.

Wife:

Good morning, Mister! It's vitamin sea today! May shoot us next to the beach hehehe

Wife:

I fell asleep last night. I can't wait for you anymore. I'll call you when you're already awake.

I was waiting for her call last night but she never really text or even inform me about it. And fuck me too because I also couldn’t bear to call her too.

Despite my annoyance, I couldn't really ignore her.

“Good morning, Mister! How's your sleep? Do you have too many meetings? You haven't called.” Damn that soft voice. How can I stay mad when I just heard her voice but it makes me fucking weak?

"Yes." I was about to say why I didn't talk to her when I heard Tom's voice and Aviena isn't even telling me what happened last night.

"I'll call you later, River." I couldn’t control my irritation.

“Don’t bother. I have a lot of things to do,” I said even though my mind tells things otherwise.

“Oh… okay… I’ll text you…” Damn. I'm just asking for a little tenderness, Aviena. I closed my eyes when I realized that it had killed me when the call came. Irritation also enveloped me. They are together again, huh? Did she enjoy his kiss? I hope she didn't. What a kid. How can someone kiss like that? I can do better. Damn you, Savellano. How childish can you get?

"Sir?" an employee said while presenting in the conference room.

“Continue,” I said while still looking at my phone. Waiting for Aviena's text and update. I glared at Kuya Spring when he threw a bottle of water at me.

"It's already finished. Are you even listening? ” he asked, smirking at me. I was just frustrated there. He should just have finished earlier.

I just shake my head. Even in business meetings, I often look at my cell phone just to see if there is a text from Aviena.

"What?" I looked at Lake annoyed when he told me at the bar that it was a meeting for a business partner of ours from America.

“Why would I go there? Our business is not in vain,” I coldly said.

“Mr. Montgemory likes the ambiance of bars and of course let's get Hell Bar has a branch in America,” he said. He has other things in his brain. I couldn't stop shaking before nodding. I want to rest already. I want my Aviena already.

"Are you coming home, River?" an acquaintance asked when the meeting was over and the deal was sealed. I already want to go home. Aviena said that she'll call me once I come home.

"You've been coming home for a while, huh?" they asked me. I just looked at them before going straight outside. They are not really wrong about that. I want to go home already.

I can’t stop looking at my phone when I receive a message from Aviena asking if I’m already home. I reply immediately.

I thought she would call now. I tried to take a bath first but she didn't call at all. I was already working on some papers but I also couldn’t avoid looking back and forth at my phone because she hadn’t called yet. I want to call her but I feel like she's already resting. I just closed my eyes because I stayed up until the morning thinking about her.

I thought she was just so busy. She can't even text me now and I fucking regret giving her cold replies just because I was mad. Now, she doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. I can’t help the jealousy that keeps on rushing through me especially when I saw a picture of her and Tom getting so sweet beneath the coconut tree.

I can't help but frown when it almost spread on the internet. I was so annoyed the whole time. So she likes the kiss? She likes him now?

And fucking fuck. She stays for a week there making me more fucking crazy. I know I don’t have any right to be mad when we don’t really have any relationship at all except for the fact that we’re married by contract now but I hate the fact that she’s spending her day with that asshole. I hate the idea that I barely get her attention but now this is what happened. I want to fucking make her like me even more to the point that both of us won’t be able to forget each other.

And can’t you believe that day fucking happened?

She was so drunk when I got home. Pride was looking for Veron when he came to the office, she didn't go home when she went home and that's it. Veron and Aviena started drinking with each other. I even heard them shouting as we entered. I can't help but stare at Aviena, she looks so drunk. And she's acting so cute again. She can't really drink with anyone if she looks so good blushing because of alcohol.

I put her down on the bed after I stopped her from drinking. I just stopped when I saw the tears from her eyes.

"Why are you crying? Is there something wrong? Does anything hurt? What happened?” I can't help but be nervous seeing her cry. I hate seeing her cry the most.

My lips parted slightly as she stood up before glancing at me.

“Shut up! I hate you! So damn much!” I know. That’s why you wanted me gone in your life. But damn, baby, I don’t think I can do it now…

“Ni hindi mo magawang umuwi at magpakita man lang sa akin?!” Natigilan ako roon. Does she want to see me?

“I thought you said that this is what you want?” Deny it, Baby, please.

“Fuck you! Who said that's what I fucking want?” I can’t help but to look at her as she said that.

“Then what do you want, Wife?” I can’t believe that my voice can be softer as it is.

“But after saying that… you didn’t even come home… Fuck you, really… You just made me fall for you but didn't really want to take responsibility…” She looked so soft and fragile that you needed to take care of her.

“I’m sorry for violating our contract…”

“I hate you but damn, I think I’m slowly falling in love with an asshole like you.” I slowly weakened because of what she said. Damn… what did she just say? Does she like me?

“What did you say, Wife?” Did she just really say it? She finally admitted that she likes me… I’m so happy that I could just die right away.

We dated. Every day with her makes me feel like I was in the cloud. Every single day with her makes me fall in love with the real Aviena. Everything about her will just make you want her more.

I know I’m in danger once I’ll enter life with her. But if it’s really a danger, I would willingly sacrifice my life.

But right… she can really bring me to the top and give the pain back 10 more times.

She tried to break up with me because she can’t find her peace anymore. I know how stressful everything it is for her but I still want her here.

“Please… I want a peaceful life… let me go, River… I can’t find my peace with you anymore…”

Of course, how can I fucking be selfish when I’m seeing her cry like that again? How can I be so selfish when she’s begging me like that? I would love to stay with her but I don’t want to burden her even more.

“Fine… Go wherever you want… But you won’t be able to go away from me, Aviena… Your name will forever be tied on mine…” I won’t be kind anymore. And heck, do you think I can still live if I see her dating other boys besides me now?

“I’ll let you go for now but let me tell you one thing… Once you come back, I’ll make sure that you’ll be chained on my bed.”

I would willing to feel the pain again just to have a taste of her love.
