A Wounded Life
Chapter 10

I waited five minutes to start the conversation

I saw the watch that was coiled in my right hand

"What do you want to talk about" I asked

Gio took a deep breath then glanced at Lela then looked at me deeply

"Darling." said Gio softly making me feel strange.

"What's wrong" I asked gently

"I'm sorry" Gio said as he lowered his head making me frown confused

"Sorry for what" I asked

Gio took a deep breath

"In Australia." I tried to be patient to hear the words of Gio who broke up

"I. I. "gio said brickly testing my patience.

"I made a mistake" Gio said, riveting me.

"What mistake do you mean" I asked

"I. I. I made a mistake with Lela"

The lela? I tried to digest Gio's twisted words

"You mean" I asked

"I'm very sorry" said Mas Gio with regret

All the questions in my mind were answered

I'm not stupid to understand the meaning of that word

"I'm disappointed in you" I said

"Dear I'm sorry" said Mas Gio

"You betrayed me" I cried

A satisfied smile was engraved on Lela's lips

"What do you want now"

"I have to marry her" Gio said.

Deg

my heart stopped beating for a moment

I sat down weakly

The day I thought was happy is now a mess

My liver? I don't know what I feel

Anger, disappointment, sadness, all melted into one

No more longing words in my mind all just vanished

I stood up and looked at Lela sharply

"What do you want huh!!" yell at

"I? I'm just a victim" Lela said

"Sliced" my swear

"Dam!! If you want to get angry please but Gio still has to marry me or.." threatened Lela.

"Or I'll leak this to the media" Lela threatened

I just passed by ignoring Gio's call

Climbing the stairs my destination is the main room

I took my bag, my phone, and my car keys

"It's a shame to hear my explanation first" said Gio following me

I don't answer his words at all

I went down the stairs and then came out of this house

Ignoring Lela and Bryan's presence in the living room I walked towards the garage

Opening the fence then I got into the car and drove off to break up the city streets

I was driving at high speed so Gio couldn't catch up with me

My main goal is my private home that no one knows about

Tinnn's.

The fence opened and I put my car in the yard

Putting the car in the garage I walked into the house

"Miss tumben here" said one of the waiters

"Yes" I said briefly

I stepped into the pool and soaked my feet there

"Madam's juice is very fitting to accompany the lady" said Ila

I let out a rough sigh considering the incident earlier

"What's the matter, miss" asked Ila after putting the juice beside me

I looked at Ila hesitatingly to tell her everything

"Miss need not hesitate I never get out of this house so I will never divulge the secret of miss" said Ila

Ila was five years older than I married this housekeeper

There are twenty workers here, one of them Ila

"My husband cheated on me" I said beginning the story

Then I told Ila and Ila just heard without interrupting
