My Beloved Ex - wife
Chapter 1

Zetta stared out the window of her room with a somewhat blank look. The rain was falling quite rapidly since then, making him somewhat reluctant to move, let alone down to the bottom of his house. The woman allowed herself to lie on the sofa while enjoying the glimmer of rain that sounded a bit soft in the ears, as she pleased her feelings at this time.

"The son-in-law of a slacker doesn't know himself. They may not prepare food for breakfast. Does he want to starve me, and then die? Didn't he? I don't know what sin I could have had a daughter-in-law like her. It's barren, it doesn't have any ability. Even taking care of household chores is not wise!" Mrs Brenda, Zetta's mother-in-law, cursed the son-in-law from downstairs. Her voice was so loud, that it sounded from the top floor, where Zetta's room was.

"What the fuck?! All the raw ingredients are still not cooked at all? What did the barren woman do to not cook? Is he still sleeping in his room? Really lazy!"

I heard the sound of falling. Looks like Madame Brenda got on a blackboard and threw something because she found her daughter-in-law really didn't prepare any food for her breakfast.

"I raised my son with all my heart, wishing he could live happily. But as I see it today, she must marry a lowly woman whose womb alone fuses the desert. How could my son have to spend his life with such a useless wife? Should if it does not have any ability, at least can contain and menahiran heir to this family, not only can ride a life only. You trash!" Once again Mrs Brenda cursed with emotion.

Implied great hatred for his words that Lady Brenda addressed to Zetta, as if her daughter-in-law was indeed a figure of no value at all.

And of course, from inside her room, Zetta could clearly hear the mockery that the in-laws had made for her. Whenever Lady Brenda was unhappy that Zetta had made a mistake, the middle-aged woman would definitely say such heart-piercing words without feeling the slightest hesitation.

Zetta could only sigh while closing her eyes for a moment. Perih, that was how she felt every time she heard the humiliation that her in-laws had aimed at her. No matter how hard she tried to take in Mrs Brenda's heart, it was still just hatred and low looks that she got. Even the smallest mistake will make him listen to words that are not appropriate to be spoken by in-laws to his son-in-law. Then, all of that will eventually make Lady Brenda bring up about Zetta not also giving offspring to her son.

If Zetta hadn't gotten pregnant for being completely barren, she might have taken the humiliation for granted. But the truth is, she's not a barren woman. For six years married to her husband, not once did the man touch her. How could she just get pregnant?

He was very sad to remember this fact, but of course all of it was just held alone until now without being able to say it to others.

"Sister Zetta!! Why aren't my bags and books ready? I'm, like, off to school, you know!" Again, I heard screaming from downstairs. This time it's Griselle, Zetta's husband's younger sister who squeaks her voice.

The girl was still very young, but did not have the slightest respect for the sister-in-law. Besides being spoiled because all his wishes are always obeyed, his mouth is also sharp like his mother, Mrs Brenda.

"Hurry down and clear my bag, Sister Zeta! I'll be late!" griselle shouted again with a voice that rose an octave than before.

There was nothing Zetta could do but just sigh once more. He had no choice but to quickly move up and down to the bottom floor before the atmosphere became increasingly uncontrollable. This morning's tumult wouldn't have been over if he hadn't done what they wanted. Thankfully, her husband is not home right now. Otherwise, Zetta will surely be further cornered over what happened this morning.

The look in the mama-in-law's eyes immediately greeted Zetta downstairs, but Zetta ignored her because she had gotten used to it a little. Zetta immediately tidied up Griselle's books and prepared her bag. After that, she also went straight to the kitchen to cook.

It didn't take long, some delicious dishes were served at the dinner table. Zetta immediately called her in-laws and sister-in-law for breakfast. Although still feeling annoyed at Zetta, of course, the two humans were directly eating because Zetta's cuisine was too good to pass up.

But basically Zetta has not been liked since the beginning, even though it has prepared good food still does not make him get a thank you. There is, Mrs Brenda is still not satisfied with Zetta. This time it was only because Zetta was silent and did not speak in the slightest while the middle-aged woman was eating.

"Why do you just shut up and bend your face like that? You don't take it for having to prepare food for me and Griselle?" asked Madame Brenda with a sour face.

"If you're not happy, you can leave at any time, Zetta. No one's stopping you from leaving." Mrs Brenda added.

Again, all Zetta could do was sigh and hold back. There's no point in arguing. Instead of winning, he will be further cornered if he slightly refutes the words of his father-in-law.

"Maybe Brother Zetta is angry that Brother Keenan is not coming home, Ma. It seems like Keenan really should bring Helia to stay with us so that Zetta knows her position in this house" Griselle said casually and without the slightest guilt.

Zetta's eyes widened slightly. Her chest immediately throbbed pain hearing the name Helia, the woman who became the reason why her husband had not looked at her for the past six years.

"Oh, yes. I forgot to tell Brother Zetta. Last night, Keenan did not come home because he accompanied Helia in the hospital. Brother Keenan must be very happy because the doctor has allowed Brother Helia to come home." Griselle again added with a mocking smile towards Zetta.

Hearing that, Zetta's countenance seemed to change slightly. Like there was a huge stone impinging on Zetta's heart at the moment, it felt really sick and stifling. Of course she felt angry and disappointed knowing her husband did not come home for accompanying other women out there. I want to feel Zetta yelling, but again he keeps his ethics silent and does not vent his emotions just like that.

Shortly afterwards, the sound of a car stopped right in front of the door. A man got out of the car and went into the house. Keenan, a man who has a beautiful face and a tall and well-built body. A figure that physically seems so perfect, it is impossible not to fall in love immediately when you first see it.

Zetta soon awakens to find her husband has returned. He rushed into the living room along with Keenan who was stepping in the opposite direction. The two people both stopped their steps and looked at each other. Don't expect Keenan to smile warmly at Zetta. The man looked at Zetta with a gaze so sharp and cold, that Zetta turned her gaze in the other direction with an immeasurably poignant feeling.

Keenan simply passed by, thinking as if Zetta was just an insect that no one needed to care about.

In the evening, as Zetta prepared water for Keenan to bathe as usual, it was suddenly heard that the man asked him to speak.

"There is no need to take care of my needs like this anymore" Keenan said coldly. "Tomorrow Helia is allowed to go home and will stay here. I hope you've left this house before I bring Helia."

Zetta was shocked to hear Keenan's words. How could the man throw himself out of wanting to bring home the woman of his past. Zetta couldn't help but feel broken.

"What if I don't want to?" ask Zetta loudly. Out of nowhere he got the courage to be able to oppose Keenan's words.

Hearing that, Keenan looked at Zetta with a mocking look.

"You know exactly what our relationship is like, Zetta. Never forget why I married you" Keenan said sharply.

Zetta looked at Keenan with a face that could not be described with words. How could he forget Keenan's reason until he was willing to marry her. It was none other than that while Helia was dying and needed a blood donor, only Zetta's blood matched that of her. Zetta is willing to donate her blood to Helia only if Keenan is willing to marry her.

Yeah, that's how Zetta became Keenan's wife. He did take advantage of the situation so Keenan inevitably had to obey his wishes. However, it's all Zetta has done because she has harbored her love for Keenan even since she was in High School. And at that time, marrying Keenan was the only dream she had.
