2. Cheaty Husband

"Sorry... I still can't help you to get out of that jerk's mansion."

Her red burnt cheek looked so painful. But she was still smiling sweetly at him. 

"My husband's house, Adi.."

He suddenly felt a little bit relaxed hearing that name coming from her.

"Adrian... Don't call me that."

That woman still wants to cool off the tension and tease Adrian again.

"So, Nadine can call you that?"

Adrian looks annoyed when she mentions that name.

"Olivia..."

"Okay... Okay... Give up. Just treat my wound."

Adrian looks satisfied with Olivia's decision.

"I have medicine in my room. Let's go there."

Without their knowing, Nadine had just arrived at that big house. She is just a minute away from them and when she is just in front of her husband's door, she hears a voice that she hates so much.

"You're really reckless... Your cheeks are more puffy than before."

"Ha ha.... Isn't it more cute Adi?"

Hearing someone other than her call Adrian's nickname made her blood boil again. 

She open the door furiously and with her menacing look asks them calmly.

"Oh... So you have the guts to bring your mistress here, Adi."

She presses the tone when she calls Adrian's nickname. Adrian shot Nadine with his death glare.

"Uh... Uhm.. Nadine.. He just helped me to treat my wound."

Nadine walks to Olivia and grabs her jaw. Pressed her cold hand to her face and nailed her red cheek.

"Hiish...."

Seeing Olivia feeling the pain. Nadine just snickering and throwing her face away.

"You just lost your baby and you want to make another one, Adi?"

Olivia seemed so shocked to hear Nadine's words.

"Adrian? Is that true?"

Adrian looks mad then shields Olivia from Nadine's threat.

"She is the one who took the baby away."

Nadine just shows her facade but Adrian's words pierce her broken heart.

"Olivia, I will send you to your parent's house after I settle my matter with this evil."

Nadine snickered again and with her cold words she just blurted out the word that made Adrian more angry.

"Me? Evil? That's better than a cheaty husband."

Adrian took his anger by dragging her out of his room. He shoved her without mercy and Nadine hit the wall. 

Her pride is bigger than her pain. She stood so proudly facing her husband. Her admiration for his warm attitude had gone away a long time ago. Now she has just seen a man with a cold face protecting his lover from his evil wife.

"We will settle our account when I'm back. You seem not in good condition right now."

Again she mocked her husband's words.

"Like you care! We can settle here, right now. I've lost everything so there's not much left that I wanna hold."

She is staring at her husband's honey eyes, searching for the warm gaze that he always gives whenever he sees Olivia's smile.

But she just sees a pool of cold lake in his eyes.

"If you had never been in my life, you wouldn't have lost it all."

Desperate, angry, jealousy burns her logic. Her usually calm demeanor losing its track, she finally breaks down in front of her dreamy husband.

"I know you will blame me! Ha ha ha...."

Adrian remains silent and doesn't want to confront his broken wife.

"Who won't blame evil like me? The one who forced you into this hell marriage is me!"

Seeing Nadine begin to be frustrated again, Adrian tries his best to calm her down.

"Nadine..."

But it just fuels her fire.

"Who is the one that made your former lover marry a jerk like Alex? Huh? Me!!"

Olivia hears Nadine shouting her husband's name but she is just so scared to get out of that room.

"Calm down...

He is trying to grab Nadine's arm but she refuses his touch.

"And then who is the one who manipulated your aunt's treatment so it became late?"

Adrian is still trying to grab Nadine but she always shoves his hand. And began frantically like a mad man.

"Na-....."

Nadine shushes Adrian, stopping him from spilling any words.

"Ssssh... Let me talk. I'm not done yet, Adi. Please...."

Pleading with her teary eyes, she just wanted to let out her frustration. She begins stepping back, scared that Adrian will catch her.

"And can you guess who is the one who made your father's cute little company bankrupt?"

Adrian wants to make a comment but Nadine stops him again.

"Ssssh... Ssssh let me guess... Oh, it's me again. And for that, I've got a bonus that will cause your father to death. Ha ha ha..."

Adrian steps forward to hold Nadine, but she still rejects his action. On the other hand, she steps back further away to nearly at the end of stairs. 

"Adii.... I'm tired of getting your attention."

Her voice becomes too weak, her small shoulder shaking because she is beginning to sob. Adrian, who knew this was his chance, took his step towards his mad wife and would fall any minute if she took the wrong step. But it's too late, Nadine pushes Adrian further away and begins shouting again.

"And guess who killed your innocent baby boy Adi?"

With her broken smile and her hoarse voice she answers her own question. 

"It's me! Me, Adi! This mess happened because of me!!!"

Adrian quickly ran away to grab her because he knew that she would fall if she kept moving backwards. But when she ends her sentences it is likely she wants to end her life too. She took one step back and began to fall on the cold stairs. She doesn't know how many times she bumped on the edges of stairs or how many times her head hit the stairs. She just sees her world spinning and stops when she reaches the bottom of the stairs.

"If I knew I would lose all of it, I would have let you go from the beginning." 

Those were the last words Nadine said before collapsing from falling down the stairs. But her mind still remains awake.

'Maybe I will meet the Lord of Hell.'

Nadine thought it was the end of her life. And when she opened her eyes, hell would await her.

"Wait.. why is hell so comfortable?"

With her eyes still closed, she is touching the soft fluffy fabric that covers her body. And when she opens her eyes, she sees the ceiling at the top of her face seems identical with the one that decorates her gorgeous room. 

"And why is it similar to my room?" 

She is trying to touch her head, body and her arm. Because the last time she remembers, she is bouncing all over the stairs like a free ball falling from a mountain.

"Huh! No pain."

Beep beep beep beep beep 

She immediately searched for her phone to turn off her alarm. When she found it and turned it off, she seemed to have a heart attack.

"Whaaat!!!!"
