Revenge of the Ex-Husband
A Bad Fate

Time and time again Rigel took his breath in. Many times he also felt pain in every breath he took. An inevitable pain in him, a pain that may slowly have gnawed Rigel's life to ruin.

Her tears could no longer come out because it hurt too much. As if he had been slashed by a sharp knife, Rigel could feel the pain in his heart. It is more than just a wound with salt.

"I have to meet with Mom" Rigel said at the end. After he also only fell silent for a few hours lamenting the pain of his heart.

Maybe this is the only way for him to keep his household. She still loved Erina so much, there was no way she would part with him. Rigel might be able to forgive Erina's betrayal of him, even though the wound was deep.

It took Rigel 40 minutes to get to Erina's house. He also only relies on public transportation because he himself does not have a private vehicle, be it a motorbike let alone a car.

"Thank God, it looks like they're awake" Rigel said with a sigh of relief.

Actually, it's six o'clock in the morning, Rigel didn't even sleep at all because he thought of Erina and Roby.

"Good morning, sir, Mom. It's me Rigel" Rigel said with a knock he made on the door.

Not long after waiting, Rigel found the door open.

"What's wrong?"

Not a good welcome. Rigel knew it from the look on the middle-aged woman's face. Spotlight sharp eyes even obtained by Rigel.

"There's something I have to talk to you about Erina" Rigel said without wanting to speak stale.

"Tell me. My husband is still sleeping, you can't go in and interrupt his sleep" said Merlin — Erina's mother, Rigel's in-law.

Rigel realized, it looks like Merlin still does not take it well as a son-in-law. Rigel had been married to Erina for a year.

"Erina's gone. She was having an affair with Roby, my sister," Rigel said.

"Then? What's problem?"

It was unexpected that Rigel would get such a response. Although Rigel realized he was not welcome, but he had thought maybe Merlin would help him. Because somehow it's about his daughter's despicable attitude.

"You better get out of here. Just divorce Erina the way she wants. Maybe your sister who works in an office is better than you who only work as a poor bartender" said Merlin.

Bekum had Rigel speak again, Merlin had walked back in and closed the door violently.

Another insult Rigel got. Making it only able to clench hands with a jaw that has hardened. He was in a rage, but could not vent it on anyone, on anything.

"Come here!"

Someone across the street was seen waving his hand at Rigel. Making Rigel get sidetracked from his anger and look at the person in wonder.

"Yes, you! Comehere!" He called Rigel again.

Rigel sempat menolehkan kepalanya ke sana dan kemari, dimana dia tak mendapati siapa pun lagi di sana selain dirinya. Membuat Rigel akhirnya yakin orang itu baru saja memanggil dirinya.

"You called me? What's up?" rigel asked as he managed to get close to that person.

A tall man in a black suit.

"Yes, of course you. Who else?!"

"Rabby?" ask Rigel, getting curious.

He even thumped himself. Anxious if this man in front of him was a debt collector who would probably charge some bills he had not paid.

"You need a job?" ask the man suddenly.

Rigel scrunched his forehead. He was confused and felt quite astonished.

The man nodded. "Follow me if you want. I can give you a big salary."

Rigel's getting cringe himself. A foreign man offers a job with a big salary to a man he just met? Just be right. Especially if it's not a scam?

"No, thank you," Rigel still refused by trying to be polite to the man.

"You sure? I can make you rich all of a sudden" said the man without giving up at all.

Rigel nodded back. An offer to satisfy Madam at her club only she refused. How could he possibly take for granted such an obscure offer from a foreign man?

"No, I'm so sorry."

"Not just get rich all of a sudden, you can become a billionaire. You can get whatever you want. Treasure, throne, woman? You can get everything!"

"I'm sorry, just find someone else" Rigel said again with his refusal.

Rigel also prefers to leave the man. He now intends to walk back to the bus stop to return to his home. He ignored the man who had tried to call out to him many times.

Yes, he would rather go back to lamenting his bad luck. Fired from his job, betrayed by his sister and wife, humiliated in-laws. All the bad things that happened to him really made Rigel feel like his life had been ruined.

Walking while kicking small rocks on the asphalt he stepped on, Rigel was completely desperate now. The rest of the money in his pocket was even just three hundred thousand.

"You have to prove to them you can do better, Rigel!" rigel called himself.

He tried to calm himself down so as not to actually take the wrong decision. Or even have to keep sinking into this bad luck.

"Come, Rigel. You can definitely get back at d—"

Rigel stopped his sentence. Not because he doesn't want to continue. But, because Rigel's body just bounced away when a car had hit him.

Rigel's body had actually bounced far away. In fact, he also had to roll around on the asphalt injuring his skin. His breathing was choked, as he tried to open his eyes.

Rigel's eyes had blurred as soon as he had laid on the rough asphalt. His whole body was in pain, painful. His head was bleeding a lot of blood.

"To—long," said Rigel stammered with a voice so soft.

His body could not be moved at all. His eyes felt heavy so it felt like he wanted to be closed continuously.

'Could this be the end of my life story? Do I have to die in this terrible state? With all the bad luck I brought to my death?' those questions came to Rigel's mind.

He thought, maybe it's time he ended his life, ended his suffering.

"Rigel Zach Spencer."

With the rest of his consciousness, Rigel could faintly hear someone mention his name. Making Rigel try to open his eyes to see him.

'Could he be a guardian angel? Or even a life-revoking angel?' inner Rigel.

"To—long," said Rigel once again very soft. It hardly sounds at all.

"Requires my help, Spencer? Hold my hand, and I'll save you from death."

Rigel was getting faint to hear it. However, he could see with an almost darkened look as one hand extended out to him.

Rigel could not see clearly the person standing before him. But, Rigel could realize if it was a man with a black hat. The man who seemed to smile slanted when he saw Rigel's condition.

Until unconsciously, Rigel tried to grab the helping hand. No matter who it is, Rigel just wants him saved. He still had to live to avenge the deeds of those who had insulted him.

Will, that guy really save Rigel?
