AFTER THE MARRIAGE

10- My Explanation

GREY'S

What the—?

Someone is touching my face that I did not recognize.

I opened my eyes because of it, and I was shocked to see Melissa in front of me with a smile on her face. So, I abruptly sat up and distance myself from her.

"Good morning, Boss," she grinned in a good mood.

"What are you doing here? Where's my wife?" I asked because as far as I could remember after I got drunk last night, the one who was with me last night was my wife, Katlyn.

And not freaking her.

So, what is she doing here inside my room?

"Don't you remember anything from last night? Well, you called me your wife but that's okay, Boss. I don't mind," she flirted with me with a grin as she have no complaints about what happened between us last night.

No, this is not right.

So, if it wasn't her that I had slept last night, then where is she now?

Hurriedly, I got dressed then I stood up beside the bed and get my phone above the drawer to text or call my wife.

"Wait, where are you going?" she curiously asked.

"Where is my wife?" I questioned with an authoritative tone of my voice instead of answering her because she was supposed to look out for my wife, and not be here with me.

"I don't know," she replied, which irritates me.

"You don't know? If that is so then, you're fired. Get out of my room now. I am not paying you to flirt with me. Now leave before I could kill you. I said get out!" I demanded, and I went outside to go to my wife's room, not minding her feelings because I don't give a damn about her feelings right now.

Where is my wife?

Oh, fvck.

What happened to me? I know I was intoxicated last night but, how can I mistakenly identify my wife as Melissa? They are way too far from each other for Christ's sake!

I knocked first to the door of my wife, but no one is answering me from the other side and because I was too agitated, I twisted the doorknob only to find it open. But she always locked her door so, why is this open? Did she already leave for school?

I walked inside to talk to her but, I found no one around when I noticed that her walk-in closet was opened so, I take a look at it and saw that some of her dresses were missing.

What is the meaning of this? Did she leave me?

Fvck, please no.

My heart is beating faster right now because of what my mind could think of. I, then, called her number but my call was immediately dropped that wonder me more.

What the heck? Did she block me?

I go back to my room, and I saw Melissa dressing up while crying her eyes out. But, I did not get carried away with her crying, instead, I pulled her left arm and throw her outside of my room, and then, I slammed the door in her face.

The hell with that woman. How dare she tricks me last night?

Oh, I need to hurry. I need to find my wife before she could go anywhere.

Hastily, I am walking out of my house when I saw Mr. Ong, the driver I hired for my wife, cleaning the car.

"Mr. Ong, did you see my wife by any chance?" I asked him when I get close to him.

He stopped what he was doing when he heard me, and he faced me. "Yes, Boss. Actually, Boss, I drove her last night after coming home. She has a suitcase with her when she came out, Boss, then she told me to go to your father's house while she was crying and so, I drove her there," he honestly answered.

So, she is at my father's house.

"Thank you, Mr. Ong. But next time, don't follow her unless I say so, okay? Don't take her anywhere else without confirming to me where you would go. Okay? I'm still your boss here, and not her," I responded with a little bit of anger in my tone, and I go inside my car.

"Apologies, Boss," I heard him apologize, and bowed his head as a sign of apology too.

I waved my hand as a sign of accepting his apology since he knew where my wife went, and I hit the road.

So, she really left me. And, what did he say? She was crying? But why? Did I do something and she was cry—

Oh, crap.

She saw me last night with Melissa.

Fvck no, again.

Thereafter, I go inside Dad's house without his permission.

"Katlyn! Katlyn! Katlyn!!!" I yelled, and stormed inside only to find her having a nice breakfast with my father in the garden.

They stopped eating when they see me approaching.

When I get closed to them, I halted and my eyes immediately stared at my wife who left me without telling me that she even blocked my number and did not reply to any of my texts and calls.

"Come with me now, let's go home," I demanded, and I turned around before I explode.

"No, I'm not coming home with you. I'm staying here," I heard her answer that stop me.

I twisted my body to face her again, and I can tell that she was mad at me because she was throwing dagger looks at me. "Do I have to drag you out?" I annoyingly asked her since I already gave her a nice command.

"Dad," she called my father, and looked at him to seek help like he can counter me.

Dad turned to me, and says, "Son, let your wife stay here for a while since you have a lot on your plate right now."

"I don't have anything on my plate right now so if you excuse me, but I'm going to get my wife now," I declared, and I pulled her left wrist forcefully to come with me.

"No, Grey! Let me go!" she shouted while removing my hand from her wrist that she already stood up to oppose me.

"Don't make me mad even more," I stated with grit, and I pulled her more, or I'm going to explode here.

"I said no!" she yelled authoritatively, which surprised me and she pulled her wrist back.

What a stubborn woman!

I turned around to face her again, and we were glaring at each other because of what she did.

"Son, please, don't hurt her," Dad tried to come between me and my wife.

"Stay out of it, Dad. Come with me now before I lost my patience with you," I mentioned, threatening her at the same time, and I pulled her wrist again.

"No, I don't like. Why don't you come back there alone? Oh, wait, you're with Melissa, right? Why don't you just continue what you two are doing? Cheater," she announced with a scoff that pisses me off more.

I can feel my face burning 'cause of anger just because of what she said.

"It was not what you think it was, okay? Come, and let's talk at home," I gritted with the most calm behavior I have.

God, this woman is really testing me.

"No. I want to hear it here. Explain it to me right here," she recited with her head held high, testing me more.

Fvck! Okay, I had enough!

Because of anger, I held her on both shoulders, squeezing her and I got closer to her face so that there is only a one-inch space between us. "Don't you dare give a command to me. I do not take any commands from anyone. So when I say we go home now, we go home. Don't make me repeat myself or I will—"

"What? You will kill me? Go ahead! Kill me now! I'd rather die than be with you! You are such a manipulative cheater, monster, and a scumbag jackass!!!" she countered, and yelled at my face madly which stopped me from talking.

Then, I see a tear came out of her left eye that froze me.

W-What is this? W-Why I suddenly froze after seeing her tear? Her eyes...her eyes are like digging into my soul that gives me a feeling of guilt because of what I have done.

D-Did I hurt her that much?

"Son, please stop this madness," Dad said, which woke me up.

I stared into her eyes again when she suddenly pushed herself away from me since I lost my grip on her when I got frozen.

"I know who you really are. You don't scare me," she stated, and she wiped the tears coming out of her eyes. "I know you're a Mafia! And, I know you've killed a lot of people already. You have no mercy. How could you?!" she announced, which surprised me because she already knows my true identity and then, she pushed my chest and pointed me to talk some senses to me.

But, how did she know?

My head turned in the direction of my Dad because he is the only one who could tell her besides me and my men, whom I threatened already if they tell anything to my wife.

"Son, let me explain, okay?" Dad calmly told me as he is ready to explain to me what happened.

But, I don't want to listen to him. I, then, took a step closer to him when Katlyn run and get in between me and my Dad. I looked down at her, and she seriously stared at me.

"Don't get mad at your father for telling me the truth. I deserved to know the truth," she recited as she is trying to defend my father.

"You don't know anything. Get out of my way," I replied, and I shooed her away lightly so, I could face my father without her between us.

"No!" she shouted, and get in between us again which made me look down at her again.

God, why is this woman like this? Doesn't she know her boundaries? And, why does she keep commanding me? Isn't she afraid of me even just a little?

A-And, why the hell am I restraining myself whenever she's around? I want to hurt her but, I just couldn't do it.

"Just for your information, ha, you owed me an explanation of what happened to you and Melissa! So, if there's anything to talk about here then that's your infidelity! Don't get mad at Dad because he did nothing! He made the right decision to tell me the truth about you! You're such a wicked asShole!" she yelled again, and pushed my chest which took me aback.

Where did all of her strength come from? She's just small compared to me but, why does she keeps fighting with me?

Talking about infidelity...

"Infidelity? Wow. And that came from your very own mouth? Weren't you with Jackson last night that's why you came home late, huh?!" I shouted, and fight back.

I'm not gonna let this little woman has the upper hand here. Not on my watch.

"Didn't I tell you already that I will be coming home late because we have a thesis to finish? You've read the note, right?" she grilled me with two questions that makes me think of my counterattack to her.

Come on, think Grey, think! I have to think of a way to get out of the edge!

"B-but was it right to stay out late with another man besides your husband, huh?! Answer me?!" I angrily countered even though I already got defeat by her.

"Wow. And, you think you have the right to question me about that? How about you and Melissa? Do you think what you did is right, huh?! Answer me?!" she yelled again, which made me afraid of my life for the first time.

But on that rage of hers, I can tell that she got hurt seeing me and Melissa last night.

I did not talk for a minute when she said that because I don't know what to answer to her. I felt like I have been grilled on my own oil.

Come on, Grey, think!

"Why, are you jealous?" I asked out of nowhere.

And because of that question, I saw her face change and her posture stumbled.

Finally, I got her.

But wait, what does this mean? She is really jealous of her?

A smirk escaped from my lips when I came to realize why she is so mad at me after seeing me and Melissa last night. "Come on, answer me. Tell me that you're jealous of her," I teased, and chuckled but as I stared at her more, there was a part of me that's want to explain my side of why I and Melissa ended up together in one bed last night.

And so, I did with the most sincere face I could master.

"Look, I was drunk last night, okay? I was waiting for you last night until I decided to drink a little. I actually thought that she was you but, I was wrong. She tricked me, okay? Don't worry, I already fired her and she won't come back anymore. I will hire another chaperone for you, okay?" I explained without a hint of guilt but, somewhat the heavy feelings inside of me disappeared.

Wait, why did I explain myself to her? I don't need to explain to her.

Then, I saw her face change again and the madness was gone too. Now she's staring at me like a cute little kitten.

Oh, I want to kiss her.

But on the other thought, I am glad and I've explained my side to her.

So, is that all that she wants to hear from me?

Does this mean we're good now? She's not mad at me anymore?
