Only a Substitute Wife
3. Unconsidered

Unconsidered

Sunlight began to enter the room. A woman wakes up from her sleep.

“Auw! Shh!” The woman screamed as she felt all over her body. Especially the bottom there that feels quite sore.

She recalled the heat struggle between herself and her husband last night. It made her cheeks feel hot.

“Stop that, Clara! Don't think about that night anymore. It wasn't the first night of a husband and wife. Because Keenan didn't think of me as a wife that night. He looked at me more like a cheap woman. Heh, if so, I am really cheap well,” muttered Clara with a slick smile.

She remembered all her husband said that night. Where her husband treats her like a cheap woman who can be booked whenever desired. Therefore, Clara did not. Feel the softness of the hot activity. There is only pain in his physical and psychic.

Clara gave a rough breath. He tried not to cry lamenting his bad luck. He slowly went down the bed because of his completely tired body. That night, Keenan was like a starving wolf who kept eating his body even though he had told him to stop. The man seemed to be deliberately paying attention to his hearing.

Trudgingly he walked into the bathroom to clean his body. As he stood in front of the mirror, he could see his entire body filled with purplish-red patches. Who else did it if not her husband that was so violent that night.

Not wanting to linger too long, about twenty minutes finally Clara just came out of the bathroom. He immediately walked towards the changing room. The look of amazement he showed when he saw the contents in the dressing room filled with clothes from various famous brands. Of course, the price will be very expensive. Clara's not good at wearing it. He also did not bring any clothes from his home. So, he'll wear one of those clothes over there.

Clara chose a peach-colored dress that was slightly above the knee. He let his hair run free. After that, he immediately went out of his room.

He thought maybe Keenan had gone to his office. It was precisely the man currently at the dining table with a cup of coffee in front of him. The man looked seriously at the iPad in his hand. He was sure if it was about business.

He slowly walked to the table and sat there. He looked back at Keenan who was still focusing on his iPad screen.

“A-Have you had breakfast?” ask Clara carefully.

“I'm not used to breakfast in the morning. Besides, I told you that you don't have to behave like a wife to me. Because I'll never think of you that way. I will never love a substitute. You must remember that,” hiss Keenan

Clara silently stood in her place. Keenan's words really got his heart pierced by thousands of needles. Although he had no taste in the man, but anyone who got such a word would definitely feel excruciating pain. Which husband would insult his wife as much as possible. That's Keenan, a figure who would never consider him to exist.

Keenan bungkir from his seat. He just walked past Clara.

“Oh yes! You need to remember too. Don't you ever take care of my life. Because I don't want my personal business to be interrupted by strangers. I also wouldn't care if you told Mama,” circus Keenan while walking back from home.

Clara remained silent with her jaw hardened. His eyes look red. Her heart crumpled with the words of her own husband. In the end, he knew that this would happen.

Clara walked over to clean up her husband's former cup. Just as he wanted to go to the kitchen, a voice called out to him.

“Nona Clara!”

Clara turned her face to the figure of the man in her black suit. “Ya, what's up?” ask Clara

“This, Young Master gave this to Miss. Said he was told to drink fast,”

Clara saw the brown parcel. He took the package. “Thank you,” reply Clara

“Sama-sama Miss. Excuse me first,” pamitnya while moving from the front of Clara.

After the man's departure, Clara opened the package and took the contents. His eyes immediately widened as he took out the contents of the package. His heart felt broken again. In fact, her tears came down profusely wetting her face.

“She didn't even want me to have a child with her until she told me to take this pregnancy pill. All right, if that's what you want. Besides I don't intend to conceive your son,” Clara

My dream is to live happily. Have a high education. Have a good family. It is just a dream. I'll never have both of those ~ Inner Clara

A man just entered his room. He sits in his work chair. Just as he was about to begin to focus on his work, someone had just pressed the doorbell of his room.

“Master, it's me Darel!”

Keenan took a small remote to open the door. The room is like that. Therefore, not just anyone can enter the room.

As the door of his room opened, the figure of a handsome man in his light blue suit entered his room. His name is Darel Intezar. Or rather is a friend of Keenan.

Darel walked in with some files in his hand. “Master, you work today it turns out. I don't think you're going to work. It will still be your wedding day,” said Darel while putting the file in front of Keenan.

Keenan immediately looked coldly at the man in front of him. “I told you not to use formal language when you're with me. You should know for yourself why I have to work today. You think I accepted the wedding. Of course not,” Keenan said with a breath.

Darel let out a rough breath. “But she seems like a good woman. Not like her brother. He also looks very young. I'm sure he's a long way from you about age,” said Darel

“He's seven years different from me,” reply Keenan who started doing his job.

His desk was kicked down by Darel. Keenan was quite surprised by what his best friend did.

“What?! Seven years?! I didn't expect it to go that far. That means he's only 19. Wahh, you really are like a pedophile right now for marrying a little boy,” taunted Darel

“Hey, I'm not that old a time. After all, this is not my wish either. Marrying Lyman's family was just a bad thing to me. I never wanted this. Because of them, I had to be embarrassed in front of a lot of people yesterday,” furious Keenan

“That's wrong anyway. How can they play with such a bride change? I'm sure if his brother ran away with his girlfriend. I feel sorry for his sister who has to replace him,” Darel said

Keenan scrunched his forehead. “What do you mean? He can't lose marrying me. He even has a lot of benefits. His family was saved. He could also be part of the Gibson family. The most respected family in the city,” Keenan said

Darel could only smile in response to Keenan's attitude that would remain arrogant every day. Because there seems to be no point in talking about marriage with that man.

“That's it, we don't talk about it anymore. Oh yeah, do you want to go to the club with me tonight?” bring Darel

A slanted smile was seen on Keenan's face. “Of course! I need a refreshing. I also do not want to meet the woman,” Keenan replied

The large clock in the middle room continued to clang. Until twelve o'clock exactly, the big clock makes a loud noise. Which indicates midnight has already begun. If usually many people will sleep soundly in his room, unlike the case with women who are currently still seen pacing in the living room.

Even many times he looked towards the front door like he was waiting for someone to come. She was Clara, who was waiting for her husband to come home.

Stupid indeed. Because this morning he just said with excitement that he would not take care of the man's life. But what now? He even looks very worried when the husband who never came home.

I don't know what he's doing right now. He should sleep in his room comfortably. No need to wait for the man to come home.

“Why am I worried about gini yah? Why would I even bother waiting for that guy? I'm sure he won't even care what I do. But I am still his wife. I once read that a wife cannot fall asleep if her husband has not returned home. But, why has that man not come home yet? Where the hell is he going? Is it still in his office?” clara who thought hard while biting her finger.

She walked back and forth to find out where her husband was.

“I don't even have the number. How could I have asked him if that man had just been cold to me? Who should I ask at this time? I couldn't ask Mama either. I don't want Mama to worry about us. Mama has been very good to me,” muttered Clara

He kept thinking whether he should sleep first or wait for Keenan to come home. Though realized earlier he had evaporated because of his drowsiness.
