"Aalis ka?" tanong ko kay Apollo at pinasadahan siya ng tingin. "Dad, aalis kayo?""We will visit the site today," sagot ni Apollo habang inaayos ang butones niya. "Gusto niyo ba sumama ng mga bata?"Mahina akong natawa at umiling. "No, hindi. I want you to do something for me," I said biting my lip. "Name it," he said eyeing me curiously. "I want you to dig up as much dirt as you can on Rebecca Deluca. Medical records, family trees, past scandals... all of it. There has to be something in her past that she doesn't want people to know about, or something I can exploit."My father looked at me approvingly "There's the spirit. But, sweetheart..." he said grufly. "Be careful with the game you play, you wouldn't want to let your enemies see the play you're about to make until it's too late," he advised and I smirked at him.This wasn't just some game. This was the ultimate form of revenge, and it started by doing my due diligence on researching my enemies.Sa loob ng apat na taon kong n

"Buntis ka, Lila..." Parang sirang plaka na nagpaulit-ulit sa tainga ko ang sinabi ni April, habang hawak-hawak niya ang limang pregnancy test.Hindi ako nagsasalita, tumutulo lang ang mga luha.

Wala na akong asawa."Lila, huwag ka naman na umiyak. Please, tahan na..." pagpapatahan ni April. Hindi ko alam kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nauubos ang luha ko. Pagod na pagod na ako umiyak, pero hindi ko alam kung paano hihinto.

"Good job, girls!" Pumalakpak ako nang gawin ng mga studyante ko rito sa yoga class ang huling step nila. "I'll see you next week."I dismissed them with a smile, breathing shallowly, bending to roll my yoga mat up, as April, my best friend and receptionist came walking into the room, her eyes sparkling with humor. "Mukhang blooming ka ngayon, ah!" she teased. "Nadiligan ka ng marami kagabi, ano! Ilang rounds ang nagawa niyo—"Malakas, ngunit pabiro kong hinampas ang braso niya para patigilin ang sasabihin niya. Luminga ako sa likuran ko kung may tao pa roon, at nang makita na kami ang nasa loob ay natawa ako I grinned at her. It was the date of my third wedding anniversary with my husband Michael, and I was looking forward to celebrating with him. I had plans to cook him a special candlelit dinner... and had even purchased special lingerie for the anticipation of what was to come afterward."Wedding anniversary namin ngayon," kindat ko sa kanya. "I can't believe it's been three yea
