99 Days Trapped in the Body of the Royal Prince’s Wife - Chapter 44

At 10 pm, Michael woke up and realized that Mia was no longer by his side. He sat up and looked around which was very quiet, then leaned his body against the head of the bed. The man was silent with a blank stare, remembering the sweet times with Casey.

‘I will never forget, you are always comfortable in my arms and will never leave me when I sleep. You prefer to stay in my arms until I wake up,’ Michael thought, apparently missing Casey’s attitude again. ‘I’m sorry for having an indecent relationship with Mia… But I really can’t help myself because I’m only human… I can’t contain my passion.’

Drett… Drett…

Michael turned his attention to his vibrating cell phone sitting on the bedside table. He grabbed the sophisticated object and saw an incoming message from Mia via WhatsApp, then immediately read it.

Mia: Michael, sorry I came home without saying goodbye. I don’t think our relationship is right because it’s tantamount to betraying Casey. I know she will never find out about this relationship, but I continue to feel guilty and I’m afraid to feel dependent on you and expect more from all of this. I can’t imagine if Casey wakes up again and you two get back together, it’s going to be so painful for me. So, I’d better stay away now… Thanks for making me happy last night and today. I love you.

“You bitch!” said Michael by tightening his jaw then throwing his phone in any direction.

Prack…

The phone shattered into pieces as it hit the wall, but the owner didn’t care at all.

“Casey… I’m so tired of all this you will wake up or not … I’m tired of all this, tired of waiting without certainty … I miss you!”

feeling frustrated because he kept remembering the sweet memories he shared with Casey, Michael got out of bed and immediately took a shower. After that, he rushed out of the apartment without bringing his phone back but took his sim card.

Michael walked at a slow pace, looking untidy at all. He wore black jeans combined with a gray sweater and let his hair look so messy and still a bit wet. He did not wear shoes but wore expensive black sandals.

upon arrival in the elevator, Michael immediately pressed the button for the ground floor. He paused with his eyes closed and leaned against the wall while waiting for the elevator to open again. the man was again haunted by guilt after having sex with his lover’s cousin, making him think not to see her again.

Ting…

The elevator door opened. Michael immediately walked down the corridor to the door that led to the basement but he accidentally ran into Nathan and Clara, who had probably just returned from the restaurant.

“Michael,” Clara greeted with a frown.

“Hey,” Michael said with a straight look then quickly left without wanting to make small talk with Nathan or Clara.

Clara was silent, turned to look at Michael who had passed away from her sight until she had ignored Nathan watching her for a long time.

“Are you still interested in talking to him?” asked Nathan with a straight look.

Clara looked back at Nathan. “No… I’m just surprised that he’s here at the same time as Mia.”

“Maybe it’s just a coincidence,” Nathan said then continued walking by holding Clara’s hand. “You don’t need to meddle in their business, because it’s not important at all. We have other matters that we should pay more attention to,” she continued.

Clara just silently followed Nathan’s steps with a feeling that was getting more and more nervous considering Michael’s very untidy appearance, very different from usual. She was also worried that her lover had indeed met Mia and had been together since earlier, but left at the same time. Jealousy, irritation, and fear came back to haunt her, making her think back to the message from Arion, about Mia who would ruin her relationship with Michael.

“No, that can’t happen,” she said spontaneously but quietly.

“What can’t happen?” Nathan asked as he stopped because they had arrived at the elevator.

“Sorry because I … I can’t stop thinking about what I just saw,” Clara said with an uncomfortable look.

“Is this about Michael?” asked Nathan.

Clara nodded and bent her face.

“What do you think of him, honey? Don’t you think about how I feel? Don’t you know that I don’t like my wife thinking about other men?”

“Honey, it’s not like what you think,” Clara said, looking at Nathan sadly.

“So what?”

“I was thinking about Casey….I can’t deny that I remember about her who always said that she was longing for attention from her boyfriend, namely Michael … Then now she is in a coma, and several times I caught Michael always with Mia,” explained Clara expressing her concern. “I’m worried that if Michael and Mia do start playing behind Casey … Casey will be very hurt when she wakes up. She is my friend, new friend … .and I know how much she suffered from life since childhood without parents, I can’t imagine if she has to be hurt again because of the people she loves,” she continued with teary eyes.

Nathan sighed then pressed the button for the top floor. .after that he focused on looking at Clara with pity, then cupped her cheeks with both hands.

“Honey, I don’t know why you can think that far….it makes sense, but if Michael is a loyal man like me, then he will still be faithful to wait for Casey to wake up,” Nathan said calmly. “Don’t be suspicious of Mia first, because she is the one who always takes care of Casey. Don’t you know that?”

Clara was silent, feeling a little annoyed that Nathan was actually on Mia’s side. Okay, this time she couldn’t blame Nathan because he had never known Mia’s true attitude before. The woman slapped her husband’s hand away, then looked away.

“That’s enough … .no need to talk about them anymore,” she exclaimed.

“But it’s useless if we are here but your mind is on them,” Nathan said.

Clara glanced at Nathan who was very possessive but also sweet, able to make her feel happy this morning. “Then it’s your job to get me to refocus on our relationship. I mean… Create something sweet like this morning.”

“Does that mean we’re making out just because of a diversion?” asked Nathan.

“Ugh, that’s not what I meant,” answered Clara in frustration, having made the wrong sentence.

“So what?” asked Nathan with a frown.

“You know… Eh, sometimes dizzy people need to be happy, and the husband’s job is to make this dizzy wife happy…After all, it’s not because of another man, it’s because of a friend,” said Clara, trying to compose sentences as best she could.

Nathan was silent but pinched Clara’s slightly chubby cheeks, then kissed her lips aggressively.

“Erm!” Clara stuttered, but couldn’t stop Nathan. .she returned the kiss with some surprise, then the husband broke the kiss.

“You said you want sweet things, then we can start sweet things now because I don’t like seeing you being grumpy like this,” Nathan said with a smile, glancing at Clara who was panting with slightly wet lips. it only made him even more passionate, then kissed him until finally, the elevator doors opened again. He immediately Invites his wife to get out of the way by carrying her, without caring that the one who was carrying him struggled.

Hmm, maybe Nathan will take Clara’s penthouse, and they’ll make love again.. It’s not much different with Michael and Mia. So, who was the real traitor in the first place?
