Painful Marriage 7

PAINFUL MARRIAGE 7

Selena's POV

I wiped away my tears. I can't take that anymore and I'm a little irritable. I'm used to it, eh, but it still really hurts.

"Selena!"

I stopped walking when I heard Emerson's call. I sniffed and faced him. His forehead furrowed as he approached me. I sniffed again, my nose must be red again.

"Why are you crying?" Emeson asked sternly.

Isn't it obvious yet? It hurts me, Emerson. Very painful.

I shook my head but continued to sniff. I stepped back when he started approaching me. This time, it was as if I didn't want him to touch me. I don't want his hand to hold me who is also holding that flirtatious woman.

"Tell me, Selena. Why are you crying?" he asked again and tilted his head to the side. He tried to reach for my arm but I avoided it and stepped back again.

"I-It's n-nothing..."

He stared at me for a while. I fought that even though I knew I would not last long. My eyes are also blurred by tears.

"Tell me," he ordered, threatening. I sighed and shooked my head. I know what's next, he will get angry when I don't say it.

"I-I'm ---" I swallowed and sniffed again. "I-I'm hurting, okay? I-I'm crying because I I-I can't t-take it anymore. I-I'm so sick. I-I'm so tired, Emerson," I sobbed. He's just there, staring at me so I continued. "When will you see me as your wife? When will you stop making my life miserable? How long will you hurt me, Emerson? W-when will you s-stop? I'm so hurt, it hurts here," I pointed to my chest.

My tears started to flow again. I bit my bottom lip and looked away. I felt his close presence in front of me but I did not look at him.

"S-sorry if I tried to s-slap Alexa. She's overdoing it. I cooked that food for us to eat... the one in the tupper ware, I left it for you and Auntie Nila but she just threw it away. S-sorry ... if you'll s-slap me now, I will accept it, "I sobbed again.

A moment of silence filled the air around the us. I was shocked because instead of slapping me, I felt his gentle touch to my back and I received a hug. I blinked, not expecting what he did. I heard him sighed and whispered, "I'm sorry."
