Marriage In Trouble

"So?"

I look at Kaiser who is so serious with his cross arms while staring at the screen in front of us. He is wearing his normal clothes, like black v-neck t-shirt, black slacks and black shoes.

I am actually at his house here in Australia. When I found myself in front of his door, I found him with Lucien and Dos. But Dos left when he saw me, which is so odd. I didn't mind it and head straight to Kaiser's big sofa.

"What's your plan now? You can't just sit here and do nothing. You should do something." I turn to Lucien with my head creased. But after a second, I sigh. Then turn again to the flat screen TV in front of me.

All of us can't believe what we just saw and hearing from a live report. Everyone's been talking about it either in TV or in social media. I only decided to visit Kaiser for me to rest for awhile or ask him to play basketball with me. But I didn't expect that I will hear this kind of news here.

Then now, there is an exclusive report with the spokesperson of Lockhorst Corporation.

"So is it true? Ms. Jillian Smith is the wife of Mr. Calyxander Lockhorst? We've seen them two days ago in a 5 star restaurant and it looks like they really look good together as a married couple." The reporter says to the man beside him, Calyx's secretary slash spokesperson.

"Jeez! If it's true that Calyx met that bitch Jillian without your knowledge Brinth, I will surely punch him to death!" Lucien blurted out with anger. I didn't say anything.

What I've been doing to myself? I told myself to fight for this marriage but what the f.u.c.k I've been doing? Hiding and running away. Damn it.

"Mr. Lockhorst wants his married life private. However, I have agree to make a statement regarding about this rumor but since I heard from you that this is the news that's been spreading everywhere, I believe that Mr. Lockhorst will have to handle this himself. I invited all the reporters to come to the Lockhorst Annual Gala this Saturday and Mr. Lockhorst will introduce his wife to the public for the first time." Calyx's secretary said in front of the camera with full of confidence and without intimidation.

"Holy shit! Is this for real?" Lucien commented.

"I guess, it is." Kaiser answered while looking at his phone. "I just received a message from Calyx and it's confirmed that he will make a statement about his marriage this Saturday." He continued then look at me.

I gulp.

"What's your plan?" Kaiser's asked seriously.

Geez. What's my plan? I don't know. I don't even think that it's a good idea to introduce myself in the public. But if I didn't, that bitch Jillian will stole what is mine.

"We need to call Tres or Six. They will be excited knowing you'll be attending the Gala for the first time!" Lucien side comments while fetching his phone then dialing someone's number. I immediately got up and snatch his phone away from him. "Hey! That's my phone!" He complained.

"No! You won't call Tres or even Six. Just no!" I scream.

"Why? Don't tell me you're not planning to go to the Gala?" He asked that made me keep my mouth shut.

Lucien's forehead starting to creased then slowly move to catch me. But Kaiser stop Lucien then face me.

"You're going to the Gala, whether you like it or not. You should claim your title as his wife." He said calmly. "We may not know your story yet but what we know about you is that you never back down to any kind of danger. Jillian is a danger to your marriage so you should fight for what is rightfully yours."

Lucien and I stared at Kaiser.

He then raised his brow and rolled his eyes then walks out.

"Okay. We didn't see that." Lucien said and I smiled. Lucien tapped my shoulder and motion me to follow him.

Sometimes, I wonder how Kaiser would ever act if he already met his match.

You may be wondering what happened to me. Well, I was just busy with studies and workout with Drake. I keep my distance away from Calyx. It's crazy because the last thing that I said to him is to fight for our marriage. But how can I do it? If I am still studying.

I even wanted to get my life messy again but Drake remind me of the thing I should appreciate right now. And I choose to appreciate everything I have.

However, I still need to face the fact that fighting for my marriage is also facing the real danger.

"Seriously?" I asked Lucien in disbelief while watching him showing a dress. It's actually a nice dress and I can't believe that he bought it for me. "You really pick this one? For me?" I asked again.

It's just a couple hours ago after hearing the news from the TV about the exclusive report about the rumored wife of my husband. I wonder who's that lucky bitch. Tsk.

"Come on, Brinth! This is one most beautiful dress I've ever seen! And it suits you!"

"Yeah, I can say that it is beautiful but I am starting to doubt your s.e.x.u.a.lity now." I said then check the other things he just bought.

I can't believe this guy. He really wants me to attend the gala. As if he is inviting me to be his date.

But why Calyx didn't just email me or text me about it?

If he really wants the public to know about his so called wife, he should notify me about it. I mean, is it really true that he is seeing Jillian again?

I mean, I know he might still be in love with him. But...

"Hey, Brinth. Do you think if it's better for you to wear bloody red dress for that gala?" I look at Lucien with a question look.

"Why would I wear a bloody red dress? It may look like I'm a desperate woman." I answered him while imagining myself wearing a red flowy dress walking down the red carpet. Then, it hits me. "I think you're right Lucien. A bloody red dress is better." I said again then Lucien smirk.

"Should I call Tres or Six now?"
