CHAPTER 03: DISASTER

“Why do I have to explain myself?! I already told you for god’s sake, Tyron! I am not cheating!” Sol’s loud voice echoed throughout the room. Tyron palmed his face, as he was feeling frustrated. He wanted to calm himself and try to talk to her calmly but Sol’s reaction was making him frustrated even more. They’ve been fighting ever since that night. 

“Let’s talk this out, alright? Calm down,” He just said instead, his patience was on the verge of breaking, he should be the one that was mad but he choose to lower himself so that their marriage could work, he hoped. 

“What was the pictures means, then? Just tell me you didn’t like it or even you tried to stop him, please!” He was desperate for answers, he wants to end his doubts and put his mind at ease. When he saw the pictures that were taken, Sol and Mr. Arsona is kissing publicly, in a bar, it was the night they had a fight when he heard her saying ‘I love you on her phone. Sol crossed her arms in her chest and looked at him coldly, giving him shivers. She drastically changed.

“You know what kind of work I have, Tyron! We had an agreement! One, Focus on the hotel,  and two stop minding business that isn’t yours!” After saying that Sol walked outside their bedroom, slamming the door behind her. He palmed his face, he is frustrated, angry and he is scared, scared that his wife might be actually cheating on him.

His phone rings, he immediately pulled it out of his pocket and looks at the caller. He saw that it was, he cursed and answered the call. “Mother,” It was Sol’s mother calling him.

“What have you done to my daughter?!” He can sense that she is angry, he gritted his teeth in frustration and at the same time, he was relieved that she is safe. “I’m sorry mother, it’s just a small fight, I’ll just pick her up,” He said, apologizing.

“No! My daughter will not come home with you! Shameless good for nothing man!” After giving him insults, Sol’s mother dropped the call making him frown. He tried to call Sol’s phone but it was unavailable. He sighed and had no choice but to let things cool down. 

He picked up Sol’s clothes that she had thrown away earlier. When he finished doing it, he goes to the kitchen and opened the fridge, and opened a canned beer as he sat on the stool.

He looks at the right side of the bed, they’ve been married for almost two weeks now but they never shared a bed together except that one night before everything changed.

He sighs and closes his eyes. He thinks that maybe this should be right rather than them fighting every day, it’s not good for Sol especially now that she is pregnant but he should lower his pride and apologize for his actions. He should tomorrow, hopefully, they can talk properly and calm down this time.

The morning came and Tyron did his routine before going to the hotel, thankfully, Sol’s father is recovering and he managed to pursue some of the investors to not pull their shares and leave the Grand Hotel and Resort.

“Mr. Lopez?” He heard Betty, the manager of the hotel. “Yes?” He answered without looking at the door, he heard the sound of the heels, his brows furrowed, and raise his head to look at who was entering his office. His mouth slightly opened when he saw Sol, standing in front of his table.

He signaled Betty and she politely smiled at them before leaving the room. “Marie,” He just uttered her name, he can feel that she is distant, cold, and maybe tired because of the dark circles in her eyes. “Are you okay? You look tired,” He said avoiding her eye contact, he stood up from his seat and then walk towards her slowly. 

“Stop,” She said, “Don’t come closer, stay where you are,” She added, he saw a tear escape her eyes, he was alarmed and was about to step closer when she handed him an envelope.

“Let’s have a divorce,” She whispered, her hand holding the envelope, and handed it to him. He can’t process what she said and just stood there, unmoving.

“Why? Did I do something wrong? What do I need to change? I will change, I promise, just please, let’s talk this out, okay?” He reaches for her hand and put the envelope on the table before pulling her closer. “Please?” He said, begging for her. 

“This is a mistake and I don’t love you, I love someone else,” She said, her words cut him like a knife, and he kneeled before her and hug her belly tightly. “But I love you! We could work this out, I’ll do better, just, please! Don’t leave me,” He can feel his eyes starting to tear up, she push him by his shoulder and stepped away from him, not even caring if he was on bended knees.

“I hate you, I hate you for ruining everything! I hate you for being stupid!” She said and walked out of the room, he was just there, not able to move, he can feel the tears on his cheeks.

Slowly he stood up from the floor and calm himself. He should think, and he should beg her again. 

He glances at the envelope and scoffs. What a good start for a day. He have a failing marriage, his wife wanted a divorce, and especially his in-laws always nagging him. He reached for the envelope and opened it. He close his eyes when he saw what was written on the paper.

“Damn,” He whispered. He heard his phone ring and he saw Centia’s name. He immediately answered it. “Mrs. Alonso wants to see you,” Centia said, he mentally cursed. “Where is she?” He asked. Centia told him that Mrs. Alonso is at their mansion, he grab his bag and the envelope before leaving the office. He is walking fast towards the parking lot, opened his door’s car, and started it leaving the hotel.

He reached the mansion in no time, he can saw the sharp stares of the maids, even the bodyguards. He just ignored it and walk towards the front door, he stepped inside and saw Mrs. Alonso sitting in the chair in front of the coffee table, with her natural hairstyle and sophisticated aura.

“I see,” She said before taking a sip of his tea, her brows were raised in a way like she was mocking me when she was done, her lips in a smirk.  “You should thank my daughter for filing a divorce,” She added, and leaned on her chair, Tyron stood in front of her, quietly.

“Sign the papers, I will give you the amount you want,” Hearing those words was the worst, he should be thankful, for what? He laughs a little and looks at Sol’s mother.

“I will not sign the papers, and I don’t need your damn money, leave us alone,” He said and left the mansion, he could hear the scream of insults, but he didn’t care, he have to find Sol and makeup on her.

He walks towards his car and started the engine, driving so he didn’t know where.

Tyron was driving for almost two hours now, he stopped at the Margies and buy himself a coffee, he could use some after the events that happened today, and he needed to think. He decided to go home after two hours of driving and thinking that maybe she was home.

After twenty minutes of driving, near their house, he saw a car parked. His brows furrowed and he immediately drive towards their gate, he didn’t make any noise and carefully entered the door, his heart was beating so fast and he could his palm sweating, as well as his forehead but didn’t bother to wipe it off.

When he reached the living room, he was about to walk towards the stairs when he heard a woman moaning in pleasure, and a groaning man’s voice, slowly, he stepped his foot barely feeling his head and he saw her there.

Her legs spread apart while sitting at the counter, and a man doing wonders in front of her body.

He could feel the range of his anger rising up, he walks towards them. “Bastard!” He shouted and punch the man who is half naked, he can hear her scream, trying to stop him but he can’t, the man was unable to fight back, after a few punches in the face, he faced Sol, her dress is ripped and he can saw her naked body with heavy feet, he left her, words unsaid and with a broken heart, he left their house without saying anything. 

There are so many thoughts in his head, but one thing is for sure. 

His wife is cheating on him.
