A Substitute Bride

A Substitute Bride
Act Strange


"Nr …."


Kayla groaned as she tried to walk towards the bathroom, she felt pain down there due to the violent actions done by her husband earlier. At that time Kayla also saw a red stain on the bed sheet and soon she opened the bed sheet, because Kayla was disgusted to remember what had just happened.


Kayla slowly tried to walk, holding the pain to the bathroom, until she got there. Kayla was sobbing under the shower, her heart was so sick with what Axel had just done to her. She felt like she had just been on perko*** by someone, even though that person was her husband. Kayla is very depressed and concerned about her own living conditions.


"Why did this have to happen to me? Why do I have to suffer after becoming a substitute bride? Though I am very sincere in living it, but why is there not the slightest happiness for me? Why must the suffering I always receive from an Axel?" Kayla said full of question marks accompanied by her relentless crying.


Meanwhile Axel was currently in his room and had just finished cleaning himself. He felt a sense of satisfaction in himself, either because he felt satisfied to have punished his wife or because he had managed to get his rights as a husband, even in such a rude way. A little bit of guilt in her little heart as she recalled how Kayla had screamed in pain and cried because of her actions.


"Am I being too outrageous? I can see that Kayla is very sad about what I did. How is that woman doing now? Oh, for what I think about it. Isn't that what I want, to take revenge and make his life suffer" muttered Axel who had absolutely no feelings.


Then he laid his body on his king-size soft mattress and closed his eyes to sleep.

The next day, Axel felt something different inside the apartment. Kayla, who usually wakes up early and cleans the apartment and prepares breakfast for him even though she never touches him, this time she does not see his wife there at all. Even the condition of the apartment still looks the same since last night they came home, which means Kayla has not cleaned this apartment. As Axel looked at the dining table, he also did not see any breakfast menu there. Until Axel decided to go to Kayla's room to find out the current condition of his wife.


Several times Axel knocked on Kayla's room door but no one opened it, then Axel tried to open the door that turned out to be unlocked. Soon Axel entered the room, but he also did not find the whereabouts of his wife.


"Where did he go so early in the morning? Why didn't he let me?" Axel muttered that did not look confused.


When Axel was about to get out of the apartment, his eyes were fixed on a piece of paper containing a streak of blue ink found on the front room table. Soon he took the paper and read what it was.


"Don't look for me, I'll definitely go home by myself if I'm ready."


Reading the letter made Axel really angry, immediately he tried to contact Kayla but the phone was not active.


"Senith! What happened to Kayla? Why is he acting so strange. Was it because of my treatment last night that made him leave" Axel murmured.


Because this morning there was an important meeting that he had to attend, Axel forgot his problem with Kayla for a moment, then immediately he went to the company.


However, it is undeniable that he continues to think about Kayla. He was on his way until he arrived at the company. Even during meetings he seemed unfocused and sometimes surprised when his assistant or staff asked him something about their meeting this morning.

"Well, why does it still feel so painful? Though it was past a few hours ago," Kayla murmured as she felt hers throbbing with pain.


Because it still takes time to calm his heart and mind reluctantly meet with Axel, Kayla decided to stay at the inn.


"Are Axel looking for me? Ah that's impossible, she just never cared about me. Even though he was looking for me, it wasn't because he was worried about me, but was worried that my parents or his parents would ask me where I was, Axel would be very angry and if I came home later, he'll scold me all out, "inner Kayla.


Kayla grabs her phone which she keeps in the bag. He only realized that his phone was inactive because it ran out of power and he forgot to bring a charger. Kayla walks out of her room to borrow a charger from the receptionist. After getting it, he just went back to the room to charge his phone.


Then a few minutes later, Allea activated her phone. At that moment he saw several incoming calls from Axel and also from Devano. He doesn't know why the two men contacted him, but Kayla doesn't care about Axel at the moment. He contacted Devano at that time.


"Hello Kayla, this is really you Kay," Devano said from across the phone, as if in disbelief when the ex-lover he still loved so much contacted him first.


"Yes Dev is me" said Kayla Lirih.


"It turns out you're really Kayla, I really didn't expect Kay. You really called me Kayla, I'm happy. But you why Kay? Are you having a problem? I heard from your voice like something was different" said Devano, because he had been in contact with Kayla long enough that he knew Kayla was having problems.


"Dev, can we meet now?" Ask Kayla.


"Of course it could be Kay. Where do you want to meet me? Want me to pick you up?" Ask Devano.


"No need Dev, we just meet there. I'll send the location to you" Kayla said.


"Yes Kay, I'm waiting" said Devano.


"Yes Dev. Yes I hung up the phone, bye ...," Kayla ended the call.


At this time he really needs a story friend to pour his heartbreak, so he contacted his ex-girlfriend. Because according to Kayla, only Devano will understand his current condition.if telling his parents or both Devano's parents is very unlikely for him.
