Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 60: The start of the real pain

When he got a call from Stacey earlier, he told me he would talk to her and ask her what was the important thing that she couldn't wait until the next day. When he left, I started thinking about all the possible things she wanted to discuss with him. 

It also crossed my mind that maybe she would ask for his forgiveness and start a new life away from him or maybe start a new life together with him... again. And since I don't know what Gabriel's true feelings are for her, my head hurts thinking what they might do.

I waited for him until eleven last night, but he didn't come home. I tried to call him until this morning but he didn't pick up my call.

And exactly at nine this morning, he finally came home. But something has changed in him. His eyes have become colder than usual or even colder than the first day I met him. He looked more serious and had a deep frown on his forehead. And if you looked closer, there were deep bags around his eyes. 

"Gab."

I tried to greet him in a cheerful voice, but he just ignored me. He walked past me without even giving me a single glance. I also noticed the stain on his shirt and the smell of alcohol emanating from him. 

-'What happened to him?'-

I frowned and followed him into his mini-bar inside the house. 

"Gabriel."

"Leave me alone, Madi. Not now."

I gasped when I heard him called me 'Madi' again. His voice held seriousness and irritation. 

"But I just want to know---"

"Please, Madielyn! Not now! Just please leave me alone!"

My hand automatically lifted to my chest as I gulped at a sudden ache that crept inside me. I just wanted to know if he already had breakfast this morning before he drinking. I couldn't but help wonder what happened to their talk yesterday? Was it that bad.. why did he come home in that state? Why did it seem like the whole world was on his shoulders? 

He opened the bottle of wine clenching his jaws. I gulped and took a deep before opening my mouth again. 

"If you just need someone to talk to, I'm just in my room," I said turning my way back into the living room. But I was just taking the third step when he called me. 

"Madi."

I sighed and looked around him. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to raise my voice at you," he said but still in a foul mood. 

I just smiled and shook my head. "No, it's okay. I'll just go to my room." And I didn't wait for his response, I walked away and headed upstairs. 

I blinked away the tears that had formed around my eyes.
