Chapter 68 FREEDOM

"Ley, please be honest with me. Tell me, did I?" I don't want to answer Eugene's question. But I don't want to lie with him as well.

"No,"

"Until now, for all what I did, for how many times we did those things as a couple?"

"It's called lust and that's my obligation as a wife, that is why I allow those to happen." I heard him sigh and stare at me.

"I'm sorry if I am not enough, as your husband. I just did what I think is right for us." I got off the bed and approached him.

"Tell me what you and Kyla talked about." I see him smirked then stood up and approached the window.

"I can't tell you. But I hoped you trust me that everything I do is for you and Uly. He's mine so I won't let anyone take him away from me."

"We know the truth," I interjected.

"Stop using that word. I won't let anyone even you, took my son from me. I will face everything if someone will try to take my son from me even if it's cost my life." Then he turned to me.

"Eugene,"

"I did not deceive you and I will never do that to you. If I hurt you, it's because I want to protect you."

"Why did you allow Kyla to kissed you? I saw it with my eyes."

"She kissed me after we settled something, that kissed is a goodbye kiss. My mistake is I didn't refuse but it means nothing to me."

"But still, you lied." Suddenly Eugene pulled me and hugged me.

"I can be the most hateful liar in your eyes. As long as my son is with me. I am sorry for hurting you. I didn't mean it."

I know the feeling of losing a child. I feel what Eugene feels right now thinking that Uly will be gone from his custody. He loves my son, more than anything.

Ulysses may didn't come from him but it can deny the fact that when he was still in my womb. Eugene taking care of him with all his heart.

"I love you." I cannot understand what he said because my head is spinning because of the hangover. "I am Ley," He kissed me while holding my face.

"Eu,"

He kissed me again and I kissed him back. So he lifted me on the bed and there we continued the kiss. He took off his clothes and take mine also. We're now both naked while kissing each other's lips.

He kissed my body and kisses me down.

Eugene rubbed his lips all over my body before he trimmed me and kissed me again.

"I'm sorry for hurting you." He keeps on asking sorry even though he still kisses me.

I feel his manhood poking to my core until it penetrates. We both gasps air. Eugene is very gentle and whenever we do this he is always careful.

He thrust that I accompanied. He touches my hip as he slowly plunges. His movement is very gentle though it's a little hard and fast, he manages not to make it rough.

Until we both reach our orgasm.

He fell on top of me but immediately came down and took the blanket to cover me. The earlier fight ended in bed and now that we both survived our lust no one speaks to us.

So I leaned back against him because my head was still a bit sore.

"I'm sorry." I just felt his hug behind me and kiss my head but I did not respond to what he said. "Get some rest." I heard him say and I just felt him stand up.

Because there was a hang-over I just let myself lie down and I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep.

THREE DAYS since that happened. We are in the garden now while Uly and nana are chasing each other. Ever since that happened Eugene hasn't slept with me in one room. If not in Uly's room, he sleeps in the guest room.

We wouldn't have talked much if it weren't for Uly. He never left the house and just stayed with Uly all the time. He doesn't even answer the call anymore and I don't know what he set up at work because no one calls him either.

"Can we talk?" I looked up and saw him standing by my side while looking at Uly who was busy playing with his toy robot.

"Sure." This is the first time we've talked after what happened. "What are we going to talk about?" I said when I saw him took a deep breath.

"Ley, I hope no matter what happens I'm still Uly's father." I raised an eyebrow at what he said. He wasn't looking at me but at Uly.

"What do you mean?"

"Let's file an annulment." Then he looked at me that confused me.

"What are you saying?" I asked annoyed while trying not to raise my voice.

"You tried, I tried, we both tried but we both know we can't love each other. Let's not torture ourselves anymore. I'm setting you free."

Is he breaking up with me?

"What?"

"I'll set you free."

"Is it because of Kyla, because she kissed you?"

"I don't care about her. She has no space in my heart anymore."

"Then, what's wrong?"

"Ley, I asked you if you still love Hunter and you said yes. It's clear to me that you never loved me and you couldn't love me no matter what. So don't torture yourself, I will file an annulment so you can find the right person that can replace Hunter. Sadly, it wasn't me."

"Are you mad at me?" I saw Ulysses look at me so I smiled at him.

"No."

"No? but you decided to file an annulment without my consent."

"That's why we're talking now."

"Let's talk about this some other time."

"I've thought about it for how many days and I won't change my decision even if we talk some other day, week, or month." Honestly, I don't care about Eugene's decision, I am thinking about my son. Yes, I may be selfish but I as said, I can be more selfish and greedy just for my son.

"I thought you didn't want to lose Uly?"

"I'm still his father no matter where we go. We're going to separate, but Uly is not involved in this issue. He's still mine, all I want is you, to be free."

"Me or you?"

"Both," he replied. "Listen, we've been a couple for five years. But admit it or not. We only lasted because of our friendship. In bed? It's because we ease our lust as you said. But admit it or not there is no love there and you know that."

So, he didn't feel anything for me either? The feeling is mutual but it doesn't mean that I will accept his decision immediately.

"You will leave me?" I ask him.

"No, I'm still here for you if it's needed."

"So you will leave us literally?"

"I will visit you often. I'm still Uly's father, remember?" I could no longer restrain myself from crying. He comes with me and hugs me.

"We can only suffer and we can only hurt each other I don't want to hurt you anymore, Ley."

I wanted to oppose what Eugene wanted to happen but I think everything he said was right. In our marriage, there was no love between us. I don't want to be selfish. I don't want to tie Eugene to me forever if he can find someone who can really love him and they can be happy.

"We're still friends Ley. I may not be on your side but you are still my priority. I just want us to be fair and be free together." He hugged me tight and there I cried and cried.
