The Cold Wife
IYD 48'S

"Don't hate me, Al. I didn't kill Daddy." Arez was stunned when he heard Sabrina mutter in his sleep. The woman's body shivered with sweat pouring down her face.

Arez pulled the woman in a trap. "I've never hated you, Sabrina."

"I'm not a killer... Al...." Sabrina jerked from her sleep with a gasp of breath. He was silent for a while, then realized that he was in Arez's arms. Sabrina cried and hugged the man tightly. "Al, I'm not a killer."

Arez did not respond at all. Makes Sabrina more nervous. The woman looked up, staring at the flat face of her husband. "Al, you have to trust me. I didn't kill your Daddy, I loved him, Al. I was afraid of that firearm. How can I use it? I'm not a killer, Al. Believe it."

Sabrina kept crying in Arez's arms. Buried his face in the chest of the man's field.

"Stop crying, you'll just look weak, Sabrina."

Sabrina stopped her crying when she heard her husband's words.

"I have to go, don't ever get out of this room before I get back."

Sabrian gripped her husband's shirt tightly. "You're gonna leave me, Al?"

"Just for a minute."

"I'm coming along." Whiney Sabrina with trembling hands.

"Stop whining, and stay here." Arez insisted, keeping Sabrina's hand away from him. But with a quick motion Sabrina hugged him back.

"I want to come, Al. I beg you."

"Don't make me angry, obey." Arez pushed Sabrina and immediately got off the gurney. Sabrina looked at Arez with deep fear.

"Do you believe I'm not the killer, Al?"

Arez did not respond at all to his wife's question and immediately left from there. And that left Sabrina disappointed.

Sabrina closed her eyes as she held back the tightness in her chest. It hurts when no one believes him. Slowly he got up from his position. Then those beautiful eyes were fixed on the fruit knife that was on the nightstand. Look at that thing carefully.

Mom, I want to be with you. How did you give me life, when you knew no one would accept me in this world? Why Mom? Why didn't you just kill me a long time ago? Take me with you, Mom. I'mtired.

Arez stepped definitely towards the room where the Mommy was being cared for. Of course his presence became the center of attention of his brothers. But he ignored them, then entered the place without the slightest hesitation. Approaching the gurney where Mommy is still asleep. Sitting there with a look that can not be separated on the face as moist as the Mommy.

Sweet opened his eyes when he felt a chewy and warm object sticking to his fuses. "You remember Mommy apparently?" Sweet looked at his son.

"I won't forget my paradise, Mom."

"Then don't ever leave your paradise again, Arez. Stay here."

Arez was silent when he heard that. He knew where Mommy was going.

"You have to make a choice, let go or lose."

"Mom."

"You voted without my consent, Arez. You forget me when you choose your life. This time I'm going to keep interfering with your life. I've lost your Daddy, lest I lose another." Sweet crying bitterly. Arez who saw it immediately brought the Mommy in his arms.

"Mom...."

"Don't defend her in front of me, right now I'm not trusting anyone. Including you, Arez." Refute Sweet with a firm tone.

"I'll stay here." Breaking Arez pecked at the head of his Mommy. Loving his beloved woman with affection.

"I want to go home." Sweet Pinta.

"It's night, tomorrow we'll go home."

"I promise." Arez again gave a kiss on the forehead of the Mommy.

"Mommy's hungry, you haven't spoiled Mommy in a long time, Arez."

"I'll bribe you." Arez picked up the food available on the nightstand. And he really fed his Mommy with patience. Then the two were startled by the sound of Arez's cell phone ringing. Sweet looked at his son full of intimidation.

Arez reached into his cell phone to see who was contacting him. And it turns out that Ansel's name appears on his phone screen. Arez put the plate on the nightstand. Then he looked at Mommy. "Ansel called me, I have to accept it."

Arez moved away from the gurney and received the call.

"What's wrong?" Ask flat.

"Master, Miss tried to kill herself by slashing her pulse. The doctor is still handling it. He's lost a lot of blood."

Arez was surprised to hear that and rubbed his face violently. He also glanced at the Mommy who kept looking at him.

"Observe him, don't leave him for a second. I can't go there for now. Tell me about his condition. I believe you, Ansel." Arez spoke a little whispered in an annoyed tone.

Foolish woman, what was she thinking exactly? Wanna die huh? Just dream.

"Good, Sir. I'll take good care of Miss. May the great madam also recover soon."

"Hm." Arez hung up on the phone. Then dropped himself on the couch. His head really hurt thinking about all the problems of his life.

"What's up, Arez?" Sweet asked looking at his son full of probing. Arez breathed deeply. Then he approached Mommy.

"Nothing, just a small matter." Lying Arez.

"Hm." Sweet knew his son was lying. It's just that he doesn't want to muddy the mood.

While in her room, Sabrina was still unconscious after doctors managed to save her life. Luckily the incision was not too deep despite the large amount of blood that he was removing.

On Arez's orders, Ansel accompanies Sabrina. The man sat on the sofa with a gaze that kept his eyes on his master's wife. Yes, it was Ansel who found Sabrina lying on the floor with a slashed wrist and bleeding a lot.

"Ck, you shouldn't have done that, Miss. You are only complicating your own husband. Huh, I hope this matter is over." Ansel breathed a heavy sigh. I feel sorry for what happened to her.

"I saw Clara acting strangely at the hotel before the incident. Is it possible that he's involved in this?" Arel looked at Alexa and Winter in turn. They are currently in the mansion.

"You sure? I don't think he's gonna do that. We'd better discuss this with Arez. I think he knows the culprit. That's why he's protecting his wife." Alexa is so sure.

"You're right, we'll discuss this with him."

"But... Why would they want to frame Sabrina? He doesn't even know our family's problems."

"The culprit wants to destroy your brotherly relationship. That's why he targeted Sabrina. He knew Arez would protect his wife. Alexella hated him from the beginning. I think their targets are Arez and Alexella. He knows you can't be destroyed if your relationship is still well established. Especially Arez and Alexella who are always on the lookout for enemies. I think the enemy is all around us." Winter clearly made his observations.

"You mean the real enemy is still our family?" Alexa is confused.

"That's my opinion when viewed from the perpetrator's game."

"For now, be careful and don't be too free to pass outside." Arel looked at the two seriously.

"What about Alexella? He's very stubborn. You know he's just following Daddy, and now there's nothing to hold him back." Alexa was worried about her sister.

"I think Jarvis will always protect her."

"You don't know what my sister is like, Winter. Mommy never listened to him. What else Jarvis is an outsider."

"Here you go, you better rest. Think about what we have to do tomorrow. To Alexella, I'm gonna call Jarvis not to leave him." Said Arel who answered nodding the two. Then they went to their own rooms.
