Chapter 328 - Something Is Wrong! (2/2)
Then all of a sudden a door was being opened and Jessy saw Teddy emerges from the bathroom located near the kitchen area.
Oh shit!
Teddy looked at the couple...his eyes widen in shock! His wife and his younger brother were engaged in a tight embrace with their lips locked on each other.
”What the fuck you two are doing inside my house!?” Teddy's angry voice roared inside the house.
Rachel and the guy were separated from each other instantly, they were horrified to hear the all too familiar voice.
”Husband, you're back!?” Rachel's eyes were big as saucers, she was stunned, the color was drained out of her face.
Howard's face went white upon seeing his older brother again.
Teddy's eyes throw daggers at his wife and his younger brother.
”What the fuck is going on!? W-what is the meaning of this! Why you two are embracing and kissing each other on the lips? You two have a relationship together—?” his thunderous voice was echoing inside the house, brows knitted together in confusion.
”Please lower your voice, hubby!” Rachel pleaded, her knees were trembling after being caught in the act kissing his husband's younger brother. This is so humiliating and excruciatingly shameful. She crumbled into the sofa, as her knees can no longer support her trembling body.
Teddy was pacing back and forth in the living room, feeling betrayed by the two people he loved and trusted the most. He was mad, utterly shocked and outraged of what he had witnessed a while ago. His heart was bleeding in sadness and sorrow.
”B-bro, I'm going home...I will talk to you some other day...” Howard was attempting to exit the door.
”Hold on there, kid! You can't go home until you tell me why you betrayed me with my wife behind my back?” Teddy shouted angrily at his younger brother. ”Sit down!”
Howard sat down on the sofa across Rachel. The couple that was acting so sweet earlier was now avoiding each other's eyes as if the mere presence of each other in the same room is toxic.
”Since when did your relationship started behind my back— answer me!?” Teddy was seething in anger.
Rachel was fidgeting on her seats. ”W-we started to have a relationship one y-year after you went m-missing, hubby,” she said in a low voice.
Teddy's eyes widen and his brows snapped together in astonishment. ”W-what did you say? What are you talking about? Who is missing?”
”Yes, brother. You went missing for two years now,” Howard explained. ”We can't find you everywhere...” he said.
”Nonsense! How did I go missing, I'm here in front of you now! You are liars conniving bastards!” Teddy's nostrils were flaring with rage.
”Hubby, I'm so sorry! I deeply regretted entering a relationship with your younger brother I thought you already died. I'm so sorry!” fresh tears were now streaming down Rachel's face.
Teddy looked at his wife's face with sadness and disappointment in his eyes. ”We promised on our wedding day that we will love each other in sickness and in health 'till death do us part! Then why are you doing this to me!” he yelled at her face.
Rachel wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand. ”After you went missing, I feel so lonely and abandoned. I thought you eloped with another woman. Your younger brother always cheers me up during my lonely times. Then one day, we just realized that we are getting closer to each other, then our relationship began. We never planned to get involved with each other, things just happened naturally...I'm so sorry for betraying you and hurting you,” she said sniffling.
Rachel took a paper from below the center table. ”Here, please read this, it's the police report that I filed in the police station after you went missing after forty-eight hours,” she said in trembling voice, whimpering.
Teddy took the report in his hand and read the contents. It's indeed a police report and he was the one reported missing! How this is happening? He can't remember a thing why he has gone missing in the first place? Why?
He runs his hands through his hair in confusion and frustrations.
The house was enveloped in a thick silence for a moment while Teddy was trying to process the reality of his disappearance in his mind. This is absolute madness! It's impossible for him to just vanished without a trace for two years—? Unbelievable!
With hands shaking he placed the police report in the center table. He looked at his wife and his younger brother with contempt in his eyes. ”You scumbags....get out of my house now! Starting today, I don't have a wife and brother anymore!” his eyes were blazing with anger. If looks could kill, his wife and his brother were both corpses already.
Rachel's eyes grow wide in disbelief. ”But hubby...you can't throw me out! I'm your wife! We are legally married. I owned this house too! I promised you I won't see your brother anymore, please forgive me, we will start all over again! Why did you disappear—? I thought you had eloped with another woman. I waited for your return, I waited for your text and call that never comes. I'm so devastated, so many things come up in my mind...I got confused and your brother gives me his shoulder to lean on during my darkest times thinking about what happened to you. Please hear me out! If you didn't disappear I won't do something stupid like this. I don't even love your brother, I just enter a relationship with him because I'm feeling lonely,” she said trying to justify her actions.
