Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 15
White ceiling, white walls and the dazzling light appeared to me the moment I opened my eyes. All I remember is that I fell into the river, but why am I now lying on a soft bed—and, how did I get here?"Don't think about anything, Kris. That won't do you any good, hmm?” And what added to my surprise was when I heard Henrix's voice beside me, and he's smiling as an angel while glancing at me. "I looked for you that night. I didn't stop until I found you... and glad I found your car floating in the river. I asked the police to help rescue you.”"But rest assured your husband didn't know you're still alive.""Does that mean what Liam knows is that I'm dead?" I asked in surprise. That night, I don't remember much about the events. All that is clear in my memory is that Liam's car was chasing me before the incident happened. "Because if I remember correctly, Liam may have witnessed my car falling into the river.""That's exactly what happened, Kris," Hen said and sat on the bed. As he face

"I didn't get to be with you after I married Liam, I didn't expect you to say goodbye to me early. If I had only known that Liam meant to offer just to be his love will be reciprocated by my family being gone, I wish I hadn't accepted it."And after all those thirteen years, I'm still regretful for bringing misery to my family. Even if I turn the world upside down, I can't change that the root of the misfortune that happened to my family is Liam. If only I had been wise in my decision then, I would not be in this life. If I just used my mind that time he asked me to marry him, my life would be really far from this. And I hope my family is still with me up until now."But don't worry... because I will repay you all. As long as I live in this world, I will not stop asking God for justice for your death. Even if this costs my life, I would put it at stake. Because my only goal to live now is to take revenge on the person who did this."As I was satisfied with crying in front of the grave

"Anyway, just tell us anything we can offer to help your business. Rocco must have laid out the conditions for the agreement with you. Do you have anything to ask about?”"I have," Jessica said. Really don't want to be beaten, huh. “I was raised at the rate we had to pay for the commercial. Hello? That's just commercial. Why so expensive?"My eyes really doubled over this idiot. My first impression of her was really right. There is nothing to know, certainly nothing to contribute to the discussion here."Hello, too? But even if you ask any TV network around, the price you have to pay for TV commercials is really high. Thousands of dollars are paid per second of a commercial and how often it appears on television.”"Is everything clear to you, Miss Jessica?” I asked without letting it be known that I was already tired talking to a fool. "Because if everything is clear, I will leave you for now. I still have a lot to take care of. Should you have any concern about our business here, con
Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 18
"I'm a teenager now, daddy. You must say 'beautiful' when you call me."Henrix and I both laughed at what Aud said. She's really proving to us that she's an adult while talking to us. Even our routine of addressing her as our 'cute baby', she thinks that’s big deal. I was like that when I was a teenager. Of course, sometimes it's really embarrassing that others might hear those words only should be addressed to babies and children.“If that's what my princess wants, I grant that. Anything you want to add more?”"You spoiled that girl too much, Hen. Then she’ll grew up spoiled, huh," I whispered."Just making up to her. I've also been busy for a while and she hasn't bonded because of work. It's only once, isn't it?" he replied laughing before moving closer to me and kissed my forehead.He left me smiling because of that. It's funny because Audrey is not even his real child but... he's showing to my innocent child that even a person can't be perfect, he'll mold himself just to be a perf

"One frappé, please," I said to the counter. He made me look for a place to sit while waiting, but Jessica's hand waving at me as if she wanted me to join their table moved me walking towards them. "It's nice meeting you here, Miss Gwen. Have a seat!” It seems that Jessica is suddenly nice to me after I was rude to her the last time I talked to them. "Are you in a hurry? Or not?" "I'm not in a rush." "Fantastic," Liam reacted, "to see that for the first time in a while, you're not in a rush, Miss Gwen." I know that he's being sarcastic by the way he delivers those words, but even so! I was angry because of that. "Be slow with what you say, Liam. Don't be rude to her!” Jessica whispered here. But the thing that raised my eyebrows the most was that right in front of me, Jessica fell like a leech on my husband—I mean, on Liam. "Have patience with him, huh? He's being rude sometimes, when you know? Uhm… having too much coffee.'' As much as I want to slap her through my words lik

"Ma? Hello to my beautiful mother. Are you still with me?” I just came back to my senses when the person in front of me, Audrey, was waving at me. "It's like you were thinking so deeply a while ago. What's the matter, ma?"“Uh… it's something… you don't have to think about. Just finish what you're eating before we go straight to your singing lesson. Okay?”From her school, we should have headed to Bernard's Singing Studio, and in this case, Audrey suddenly asked me to stop the car to eat at a simple eatery we passed. I even argued with her if she was sure that we were going to eat in this kind of place... well, usually the food in this place is hit by flies before the customer even eats.But then again... Audrey wins the battle against me. So, I just let her eat, but I... she would never force me to eat in this kind of place. I come from a non-luxurious family, but I didn't run to such a place during the times when we weren't out of poverty. Fast Food chain, still possible."I never s

And then one day... something happened in their relationship. After almost a decade of being together, they are getting confused. He opened the matter to me. Even though we are married on paper, as most people we know believed I'm Gwen, but I'm also a friend to him. He can trust me, so he shared his problem with me.His assumption was... in their relationship, there's a third party. Maui was said to have an affair with another man—which was still a big question mark. Because it's not proven. So, I suggested giving their relationship a break—even a short break will help.He told me... that's a great idea. He'll consider it because... even though he was already stressed by Maui's unreasonable attitude... and then now he suddenly thinks that a man is interfering with their relationship. Well... Hen wouldn't think there was anything if no evidence appeared.So, they broke up. So, it's really surprising that after three or four months their relationship was broken... Maui is still meeting
Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 22
He walked closer to where I was, the exact opposite of my expectation, that he was about to leave my house."But... Thanks for your help. You have been a great help in encouraging me to find my purpose here. Now that I finally confirmed you just have Kris' face, not her soul and identity, should you expect I will stop pestering your life from now on.""I'm not really going to force you to be my wife anymore. By this confirmation happened tonight, I will just learn to accept that she is really gone."With every word he utters, every letter woven and sentences punctuated, I feel the pain and bitterness… by how he pronounced those."You know what... you wouldn't have reached that point..." I met his eyes when I moved my face upward. "That you will regret the things you did before... that you will regret how much you failed Kris as a husband... if only then, Liam... you would have learned how to properly take care of your wife."“And now you're going to chase her… when it’s too late… When
