Not Trapped with You, Not Trapped in Love
Chapter 4
Ryan stopped on his track and looked back at me.
He was a little shocked.
I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
It was a cruel joke that my husband's net worth was more than a billion dollars whereas my mother died because I couldn't collect only twenty thousand dollars.She let out her last breath in pain and sorrow because I couldn't afford to give her operation fees.
When my father divorced her,he left with my brother,I was very young and my mother was in her prime.Even though our relationship was not like those typical mother-daughter duo,we still only had each other to rely on.
There was a saying that Blood was thicker than water and was inseparable.I couldn't just watch my mother die in front of me.
My mother was ill that day and needed an operation fee.But I couldn't even give her that support.
No one may believe it when I said this,but I,the wife of the chairman of a listed company and Ryan Farnanadez’s original wife,couldn't even swipe the card in exchange for two thousand dollars.
That day,I called Ryan over a hundred times but he ignored my call.Even when he picked up,he could only speak a few seconds before someone snatched his phone and hung up.After that,it was switched off.
After the critical time left,I couldn't save my mother anymore.She died with her eyes open.I could only imagine how much hurt she was while dying.
I could only try my best to take care of her funeral properly.I was all alone while I was on it.
It was also on the day,when I saw Zenelia’s latest Instagram post,where she was smiling beautifully wearing a red gown.She was leaning on Ryan's shoulder while holding his hands,the wedding ring in his hand was still visible.
She wrote the love song as their caption:
[It's just you and me
And there's nothing I,nothing I,I can do
I'm stuck with you,stuck with you,stuck with you]
They were having a candle light dinner.
Later I checked the hotel’s entity and found that even a simple meal cost a few million there.I couldn't even imagine how much they had spent there that day,maybe it could cover for three operations of my mother and she could be well and kicking.
At that moment,I thought about divorcing Ryan.Living a life without a name and carrying on a relationship like carrying a hard rock was useless.
Since he was no longer the boy who always put me first and loved me like I would melt if he didn't care for me properly,there was no need for me to force him to stay by my side.
I didn't need to be called Mrs.Farnandez.
"Are you angry with me because of this?Why didn't you tell me earlier?”He raised his eyebrows,“Selena,I am not someone who stays inside your brain that I would know everything.”
"Mom has been ill for a long time.I have mentioned this to you many times.”I sighed and looked down on my fingers,“I wanted you to accompany me to see her,but you always said you didn't have time.And that time..."
Before I could finish my words,Ryan's phone rang again.
I glanced at the name which bubbled on the screen‘My sweetest Zen’.
I tittered when I thought it might be Zen who saved it like this.I did that childish thing too when I was young.
Ryan moved to the balcony to answer the call.
The door was not completely closed,and I could hear him coaxing Zenelia about something.Even though his voice was low,it was not inaudible.
“I have to attend a company meeting.”After hanging up the phone,his expression turned cold again,“Wait until I get back before continuing this topic.”
Now that he was leaving,no one knew when he would remember that he had a home again.
So,it didn't matter whether I could continue the topic or not because I knew when he would come back,I would no longer try to interact with someone who had been showered with another girl's perfume on his whole body.
Ryan didn't want to listen to anything from me either.For him,whenever I opened my mouth,I was just nagging.
"Sign the divorce agreement before you leave."
Before he reached near the door,I said angrily,"If you leave,don't come back."
