Painful Marriage 6

PAINFUL MARRIAGE 6

Selena's POV

The next day I woke up with Emerson no longer by my side. The morning sun greeted me and I smiled slightly. New day and a never ending pain again.

I'm craving for a champorado today so I wanted to cook. I did not caught up with Auntie Nila in the kitchen so I asked one of our housemaids.

"She's in the garden to get some fruits amd vegetables, Ma'am. We've run out of stock."

I thanked her and she helped prepare the ingredients for my cooking. I smiled as we cooked and the maid applauded us when it was over and we tasted it. We have a lot of champorado so I putted some in the tupper ware for workers and housemaids. I also leave some for Aunt Nila and of course Emerson.

I enjoy eating at the dinner table. I also feel nauseous in my stomach for no apparent reason. I have served champorado for the third time but I am still not satisfied.

"Ma'am Alexa, just a moment!"

I was stunned to hear that. My smile faded when I saw Alexa entering the kitchen. She was holding her expensive bag and is pridely looking at me. The maid appeared behind her as if restraining her.

"Oh, the unwanted wife is here," Alexa said and smirked at me. I lowered the spoon I was holding and got up from the chair.

"If you're looking for Emerson, he's not here," I said gently. I don't want to hit her because I know I will lose. Emerson always sided with her.

"I can wait for him," Alexa raised an eyebrow as she looked at me. "You," she pointed to a maid, "Prepare a snack for me."

The maid looked at me. I smiled at her and nodded. Even though I don't want Alexa here anymore, I can't leave her alone. Emerson will be angry.

I left them there in the kitchen. I just crouched in the library while reading another book. Lunch time, my stomach growled and that's my cue to leave the library.

I sighed a little when I caught up with Emerson and Alexa in the kitchen, the housemaid were gone. Alexa was sitting on my husband's lap and it was as if millions of knives were stabbing my heart. I was about to leave but I hit the dustpan on the side of the wall so the two stopped what they were doing.

Alexa rolled her eyes at me, still not leaving Emerson's lap. My husband on the hand, stared at me. I took a deep breath and calmed myself.

"S-sorry for disturbing you," I said apologetically. I averted my eyes from Emerson, causing me to look at the sink where I saw the tupper ware I had loaded with champorado for Aunt Nila and Emerson.

"H-how..."

Alexa noticed that so she laughed. She kissed Emerson on the lips before leaving his lap.

"Oh? You mean that cheap thing you cooked? I threw it, it's not delicious," she mocked.

My fists clenched. This woman is really very rude. I struggled to cooked to eat it properly but she just threw it away! Annoying!

"You're such a devil!" I shouted.

"What? It's true, eh. The taste is ugly and ew it's so cheap."

I can not control myself. I approached the flirtatious woman named Alexa and raised my hand ready to slap her.

"Selena!" Emerson's voice roared. I stopped myself from slapping his woman. I clasped my hand and turned to Emerson. He looked at me sharply, threatening.

"Right," I lowered my clenched fist. "In the end, you'll still sided with her."

I quickly turned my back on them before they could see my tears streaming down my cheeks.

What else can I expect? It's just me, Selena. It's just me, the woman whose life is miserable with her husband.
