Contract Marriage With My Ex — Chapter 12…

His outburst!

Author’s point of view…

It was 7.00 in the morning when Girard and Raven decided to take a leave from the hospital. Billy though could not get relief from his pain but as for now he was sleeping peacefully under the effects of sedatives. Once he was peacefully taken over by the slumber, the appointed officers allowed Raven to only see him through the circular mirror built in the door.

His parents, Mr. And Mrs. Carter were sitting next to little boy on the either side on the stools. They were not so old, their physical appearance— pleasing and impressive. While Mr. Hardin Carter was dressed in his suit, there Mrs. Kelly Carter seemed beautiful in her night gown. She was time to time caressing baby Carter’s hair adoring his pallid face. On the contrary, Mr. Carter tiringly sighed, he was in his formal clothes indicating he might have returned from the office after over time work.

What can he do rather than over time when his sons are going through the hard phase of life? It was 2.00 am in the night when before going to bed Mrs. Carter resolute to check upon their baby where she noticed him turning all cold and white. He was not breathing properly, his pulse rate was low as heck, she cried anxiously calling for Mr. Carter and the two of them rushed to the hospital.

On the go, Mr. Carter informed the two brothers about the problem and since then it is this time that they have to spend waiting for their little heir to be alright! “Mom, take care of him. And please, for God’s sake give me every minute update.” He lightly pecked on her cheek longingly staring over his unconscious junior’s body.

Well he was one of those unlucky fathers who never got the chance of spending time with his child. The two years of Billy’s life has been painful. As painful as anything! “Take care Rave, don’t worry about Billy. Once he is okay, I will video call you. Hmm. I Love you.” She replied with a consoling smile.

Girard from the back took a deep sigh. He has been noticing time ever since they left, the grown anxiety in his mind was not giving him peace. What would Kiara be thinking? They have been out since the night, it is now the morning!

“Yes Rave, you go and rest. Kiara must be up and looking for you. Go and handle her, the earlier you tell her everything the better.” Nodding over their father’s words Raven and Girard left not before giving a peck on Billy’s face.

And very soon they were back on the roads driving back to their newly bought abode where his newly wedded fake wife was waiting for him restlessly. During the drive, Raven preferred to sit silent, neither was he in any mood to speak anything now was his voice supporting him. It was stuck in his mouth.

Only he knew what was going on with him! Having a two year old kid who has constantly been unwell and frequently admitted to the hospital for weeks, Raven cannot focus on his life. Indeed, one wrong decision can change years of relationships and cause non-repairable damage. It is always necessary to think twice before making any determination in life.

Never mind, pulling out the escalator Girard stopped the car outside the gate, since there was no watchman he himself has to get down and open the same. Meanwhile, Raven slipped out of the belt and walked to the door leaving his elder brother behind to look at the matter on his own.

No sooner have he undid the door than his eyes noticed a frustrated Kiara sitting on the sofa, her eyes were tired clearly showing that she has been awake ever since he had gone, “Have you seen the time?” the very first question was dropped on him by her.

He so wished to tell her the truth, pull her in a hug and cry on her lap however it was not easy. If his untold absence can turn her insane, let alone the secret of him being a father of two year old kid. He preferred to ignore her, this was not the time to speak. In fact, he was in no condition to answer or argue with her on any topic.

He rubbed away the traces of tears from his face. The available light in the foyer was enough for Kiara to notice his red eyes and get onto the conclusion that he was crying. Although she wished to know what could make him cry but then also she determined to be stiff and behave like a typical wife and charge her husband with questions.

Today, she has made her mind up that she will not let him go so easily, not on any cost!

Okay, Raven did not want to let her earn the look that he was crying, so he directly initiated his walk toward the stairs until, “I asked you something Raven! Where have you been? Do you have any idea how long have I been waiting for you? Leave that, not only you but your brother was out too, tell me what am I supposed to conclude out of this! Just a day of marriage and you are behaving the typical YOU! “

“ Ohh just shut uppp!” Kiara stumbled behind being taken by surprise by his sudden outburst. She was shocked to see panting with such fierce in his eyes that seemingly spoke about what he could do to her! He descended the hardly climbed stairs and got hold of her arm.

Pulling her close, he glared her so badly that scared even her soul. She has seen him angry but not this much. “I am not answerable to you regarding my absence and presence Kiara Diaz, do not forget who you are, just a contracted wife! Don’t expect me to answer all your stupid questions.” He stated with his raspy, hoarse voice turning her still.

He wanted to withdraw his hands, take those words back and kiss her but her clingy nature was enough to boost his aggression. Raven darted his devilish gaze on her quivering lips, the way they shivered he knew she was shaken badly to the deep. He soo regretted yet there was no way his inner turmoil was letting him behave sober.

There was fear, hurt and guilt in her eyes. She looked down thus breaking the long eye lock which she reckoned he did not intend to break at all. And that was the moment when he recognized her eyes were teary!

Meanwhile, after making sure the car was parked just as Girard entered through the door, he swigged his saliva looking at the toughness of the moment. There his mentally disturbed brother was unknowingly hurting the woman who was supposed to be key to his freedom!

“Raven! Shit, this guy.” He mumbled quickly walking upto them. “Rave! Kiara!” he interrupted them that eventually made his grip to go loose around her arm. Raven, when realized what was he doing, blinked his lashes and in a swift drifted his hand back looking here and there.
