Chapter 17
Blake POV
It feels heaven to see the love you wanted for so long become your reality. I love watching my wife roaming around the room doing her routine so naturally. Today I will tour her around the town and see what things she wanted to buy as a remembrance from our honeymoon. But the main reason of leaving the villa that we’re now renting is for the staffs to do the decorating and setting things for us to have a romantic dinner when evening comes.
Since my wife is still taking time to prepare for our tour, I went to call the reception to remind them about the set-up that they need to do. I wanted this evening to be a perfect night for both of us, I wanted to start creating a memorable days and nights with her. I make sure that they will decorate our villa with the favorite flower of my wife and the foods she loves to eat.
Walking at the town, I lead her at the boutique area where she can buy some dress. That will be perfect for tonight if she saw one and buy it. Hopefully she pick at least one, I know that she’s not a materialistic kind of girl that’s why going to town is not an ideal for her because she barely buy things for herself unless she really need it.
We walk inside one stall and for the first time I saw her too fond of checking the dresses in the shelves. I told her to check and buy whatever she wants so the saleslady ushered her to other shelves where there’s more design choices she can pick on. I let her check and fit the dresses she finds good and I decided to stay at the corner to sit while waiting for her, when two American girls notice me and recognize me as an Anderson.
They asked to take some pictures with me and I grant their request and pose between them. After several shots they thank me and asked what am I doing inside a girl store? I was about to tell them that I’m with my wife when I realized that we haven’t inform our parents yet about our sudden wedding and if I tell them about my wife then for sure the news will easily be spread like a wild fire. So instead of telling them the truth, I tell them that I’m here to usher my sister that they easily believe in.
After a minute of talking, the two girls leave and I just sit at the sofa and waited for Celine to finish her fitting. After almost half an hour, I’m wondering what took Celine that long to fit those dresses. I then went to the lady assisting her earlier and ask about my wife. I almost curse in front of the lady when she told me that Celine hurriedly left the store more than half an hour now.
What came into her mind to leave and stroll the town alone? She’s pregnant and she doesn’t know anyone here and she’s not familiar with the place too. I instantly took my phone from my pocket and dial her number but it’s unattended that makes me feel more worried. I called the villa receptionist too just to check if she happens to go there but they said that their staffs are still arranging our place and that Celine didn’t arrive yet.
I panicked and trying to recall what happen. No choice for me but to go and seek for a police assistance to help me tract my missing wife. Why I didn’t keep my eyes at her? What if someone kidnapped her since everybody who knows her know that she’s a part of Anderson? I won’t able to forgive myself if something bad happen to her and to our child.
After couple of hours the policemen reviewed all the CCTV surrounding the place and tract that my wife head off at the airport. And why in the world she would do that? I silently asked myself, so confused on what happen. Then it’s like a flash everything strikes me and recall the incident with the two girls earlier. I guess it has something to do with them that makes her leave me and thought of leaving me in this country.
Waiting for us to reach the airport makes me feel more anxious. I wanted to see my wife now and hopefully she’s still here. I know that once she reach New York then it’ll be difficult to tract her if she plans to avoid me.
Once the police driving halts the car, I quickly left them and search for the particular person that I wanted to see. It’s not that easy though, but the policemen assisting me finds way to check where she is. I saw her looking so sad and tired at the same time. She leans her back to relax while sitting and waiting for her flight, I took the seat next to her and I couldn’t control myself to release a deep sigh. I didn’t know what I want to do, I feel relieve but angry at the same time. I saw in her eyes the shock when she look my way and saw me sitting next to her.
“You won’t escape me that easily baby.” I said and I saw her face paled when she didn’t expect me to find her.
“How’d you know I’m here?” She asked and then realized that I’m not alone.
”Let’s go back to our villa now and rest. I know you’ve been so tired running away from me the whole day.” I said calmly.
“Just let your sister leave and you can enjoy your stay here.” She replied.
So that’s it, she heard me talking to those two and told them about accompanying my sister. If only she let me explain myself why I said those lies. Anyway the damage has been done and I’m really at fault. I thank the policemen and told them that I can manage and control the situation now. Once they leave I went to sit beside my wife again.
“I’m sorry that I lied but can you please listen to me first?” I almost beg but she keeps her stoic face and avoiding to face me.
“Love? Let’s go back to our villa and talk there. Let me explain myself please.” I plead and she just nod.
I usher her as we exit the airport and then took a cab to drive us back to our villa. Once we reached, the romantic ambience welcome us. I hear her gasp when she saw the beautiful arrangement of the villa but then instantly change her mood and started to cry.
I know that her pregnancy might affecting the way her mood swings and it makes her feel much jealous in everything too. I need to understand her and just always show her that I’m with her. I hate seeing her crying now and that all I can do is hug her. I don’t even know if this makes her feel good and if it even comforts her. But I just wanted to feel that she’s here with me and I’m not losing her.
Her cries turns into subs and soon she stopped. I whisper sweet words for her and apologize but it’s like she’s not even listening to me. I tried to explain the reason why I have lie but it’s all being heard by a deaf ears.
“You can do whatever you wanted to do now, I won’t bother you. Try to process a divorce soon as we reach New York and never come near me again.” She angrily said and left me alone at the place I am standing at.
I don’t know where would I start to bring back my sweet wife into my arms again but I promised to myself that as an Anderson I won’t give up and will prove to my wife that I am worthy of loving her.
