Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

It's ten o clock when I arrived. Ali is waiting for me outside and she immediately pull me in a big hug as soon as I parked the car in their garage.

"Oh my gosh. I miss you Ellie" she playfully pinched my cheeks. She pull me inside their house so excited for me to tell her a story. Still nosy as ever.

"Babe, Ellie is here!" she shouted giving Kai a notice of my arrival.

We sit in the sofa and I put my bag on the floor.

"Have you eat dinner?" she asked as she cling her arms to mine. I shake my head. Eating is not a fun thing to do when you are alone. Most of the time I ended up skipping meals because I don't have appetite.

"Why? Look at you! Looks like you don't put effort anymore to take care of yourself. Hmmm is everything okay with the old man?" I laughed at the way she address Deus. It never change.

"We're okay or so I thought." I said avoiding her eyes.

"I will punch him when I see him." she doesn't sound like joking. Oh no

"He is just busy. Don't worry he didn't do anything bad. I am ironically feeling tired when I am doing nothing at home. I don't know why maybe because I misses you so much so I decided to stay here for a while" I said. I give her a smile and she give me a glare in return.

"Stop being nice and so considerate Ellie. You don't deserve to be ignored. Nobody does. He should've marry his paperworks instead of you. That dumbass is so disappointing." she crossed her arms .

See, I didn't say anything yet and she already knows what I am talking about.

I slumped my shoulder as I wipe my tears. I can't contain my emotions anymore. Ali quickly hug me.

"Owww, why are you letting him treat you like that? You deserve better. I know you understand him but being married is give and take. If you keep giving and taking nothing in return you will get tired. Hush now. I will kick that old man for you. Don't worry." I sobbed in her embrace.

I know that I am sad but I didn't know that I am feeling this empty. Am I expecting too much from him?

"Maybe I am asking too much" I sain in between sobs.

"If he is doing his part as your husband you wouldn't ask for anything. You are asking for something because you are not getting that from him. You are longing for him because you can't feel his presence. It's not your fault to feel that way." she said rubbing my back to comfort me.

I am so proud that she is so mature now though she's still violent.

"I don't know what to do. I want to talk to him but I can't find the right time. He is always tired from work and I don't want to add up to his concerns." She let go of me to get some tissues. She handed it to me and I wiped my tears with it. I fixed my hair.

Her face is so serious. She's ready to hurt someone.

"Hey, I'm really okay. Don't need to look you're ready to kill someone. You're scary" I fix my hair and dry all my tears.

"Okay then. Come on let's eat. Kai cook your favorite." the side of my lips automatically lift up.

am truly touched by this couple. They always make me happy.

We walked to their kitchen and I saw Kai preparing all the food. He is still wearing his business attire but now with an apron on top. I appreciate the effort. He quickly run to me and squeeze me in a tight hug.

"Ellie, I miss bullying you. I haven't make fun of you for quite a long time." he messed my hair and he gain a glare from me. Yeah my brother is sweet and at the same time pain in the ass.

"I miss you too Kai." I mockingly said and he laughed

"Let's eat. I cook your favorite pasta. I also made garlic breads." he proudly show me his dishes.

He even took time for the eye catching plating.

"Looks yummy" I gulped. The smell make my stomach churn. I suddenly feel really hungry. I gain my appetite back maybe because I didn't feel alone.

Eating with someone excites me. I sit in the chair. Kai sits beside Ali and we are facing each other.

"How's life? I am shocked your husband let you go tonight" Kai said and my eyes widen.
