Chapter 57"And what does Aria's mom do for a living?" Manang Renee took a deep breath and smiled at me, but I could see the sadness in her eyes. She feels sorry for Aria's mom? But why?"My child... she's a good girl. My daughter met your dad because she used to come to your mom's house often to help with the laundry. My daughter and your mom were childhood friends, and my daughter had everything your mom had, thanks to your grandparents who helped her finish her studies. But I never expected her to get used to the luxuries your mom and your grandparents provided. That's why she started going out every night and coming home in the early morning because she was working. At first, she told me she was working at a twenty-four-hour convenience store, what was it called? Seven-eleven. I trusted her, so even though I was worried about her safety, I allowed her. She said she wanted to help me with her education expenses. But it turns out she wasn't really working at the seven-eleven, she wa
Chapter 58"What are you doing here?" I asked him with annoyance. I also wanted to ask how he found Kenzo's address, but I decided to keep my mouth shut. He didn't say anything, he just kept staring at me."Kent!" I scolded him."Psh," he responded."What do you want from me?" I asked him irritably."Here," he said, handing me a lavender-colored binder."What's this for?" I asked, flipping through the binder. There were no writings in it yet, and there was a sign pen included, indicating that it was newly bought."I heard from your mom that you're going back to school, and today is your first day," he said, and my heart started beating faster. The butterflies in my stomach slowly returned. I tightened my grip on the binder, trying to suppress what I was feeling at the moment.Kylie, listen. You need to stop what you're feeling right now! Aria needs Kent more than you do! Remember what Manang Renee told you.I shook my head and handed the binder back to him. "Thank you, but I don't nee
Chapter 59"Urgh! Why is there no signal here?!" I shouted in frustration at the beach. I couldn't even count how many times I raised and rotated my phone just to catch a signal, but there was none!"You're just wasting your energy, Wife. There's no cell site here," Kent replied to me. I glared at him and hopelessly sat down in the sand. We both gazed out at the vast ocean.I wiped my hands on my face and then threw my phone into the water. It's completely useless here on this island that Kenzo's chopper brought me to.I should have known better! Last night, when I heard Kent's voice in the background of Kenzo's call, I should have suspected that they were up to something no good!"God! Kenzo, why did you agree to conspire with this wretched person?! When we meet again, I won't stop pinching you!" I finally lay down on the sand. I sighed."What are you planning, Kent? When are you going to return me to Kenzo?" I asked, with my arm covering my eyes. I don't know, I just can't help but
Chapter 60"Urgh! Feeling!" I shouted inside my room and messed up my hair. "I know, and I am sure you'll love me soon." Until now, Kent's words to me haven't left my mind."I won't let you deceive me anymore, you fool!" I lay down on my bed with my arms and legs spread. I sighed. There's no cell service here, so my phone is useless, although I don't even have a phone anymore. I threw it into the ocean. I just sighed in frustration.If my phone is still there, it's probably already soaked with seawater. I sighed again. There are no electricity poles, but there's light. Then I realized something."If there's electricity here, it means there's a generator, and for the generator to work, it needs foil. For sure, Kent has some way of communication with someone out there. I just need to know what it is. A satellite phone? It can be." I nodded to myself, pondering."But where would I find that satellite phone? He wouldn't just leave it anywhere. Maybe it's in his room? But how can I get in
Chapter 61"I am still in love with you, Wife." I stopped kissing him when he said that."Wife?" he questioned moments later, trying to catch my lips again, but I involuntarily avoided it. He cupped both my cheeks in his hands and caught my gaze."W-what about Aria?" I asked him, averting my eyes."Wife, please... let's not talk about someone who isn't here.""But Kent, she's your wife!" I answered him. God! He's cheating on me with Aria. It feels like everything has flipped. If Jiro cheated on me with Aria before, now I am cheating with Aria's husband, who happens to be Kent."This is so wrong," I added, about to get up from sitting on his thigh when Kent embraced me."Please, Wife, don't go," he pleaded, his voice filled with desperation."But Kent, this is wrong!" I firmly replied to him. "Jiro cheated on me with Aria before, and we both know that. You saw how hurt and devastated I was, right? The same thing will happen to Aria when she finds out about this and if we continue. Plea
Chapter 62"Kenzo..." I hugged Kenzo tightly, and he hugged me back."Baby..." I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from crying. I faced him and saw the sadness in his eyes."Baby, you don't have to do this. You know I love you, and if I have to let you go for Ken..." I cut him off."Yes, I know you love me, and please take me home now.""But..." I looked straight into his eyes and..."Please." He sighed and slowly nodded, but before we could enter his chopper, I heard my name from behind."Kylie!" I turned around, and tears started flowing when I saw Kent, topless, obviously just waking up, wearing only khaki shorts. He immediately ran towards the beach where Kenzo's chopper was parked."Wife," he called me with sadness in his voice. He wasn't wearing any slippers. I clenched my fists and looked away. He approached me, taking my hands in his and kissing the back of them."Enough, Kent," I told him."Kylie... Wife, I love you." He took me away from Kenzo's embrace and hugged me tightl
Chapter 63I closed the book I was reading and placed it on the bedside table when I heard Kenzo's footsteps, freshly dressed after coming out of our bathroom. I couldn't help but smile when I saw him."So you really dressed inside?""Maybe you'd attack me if I changed here, Baby." I burst into laughter."You're so full of yourself!" I said to him, throwing a pillow at him, but he quickly caught it. I screamed when he jumped on the bed and relentlessly tickled me."HAHA! Okay, Kenzo! HAHA! HAHAHA!" I was almost out of breath when he finally let me go, and I was gasping for air."Haha. Baby, your tickling is still unbeatable." I glared at Kenzo and straddled him. He was leaning against the headboard, and I wrapped my hands around his neck. I knew he knew I was going to kiss him, but..."Ouch!" Kenzo exclaimed because I pinched both his cheeks. This time, it was me who was laughing uncontrollably while my hands were still pinching his cheeks."What? You're going to tickle me again?" Wel
Chapter 64I woke up feeling a heaviness in my stomach. I slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by the familiar room of Kent's rest house. I blinked several times and looked at Kent, who was fast asleep, tightly holding onto me. One of his legs was resting on my thighs, while his hand was on my stomach.I couldn't help but smile when I heard his soft snoring. He looked so cute! I moved closer to him so I could smell him better and feel the warmth of his body. His leg and hand were the only things covering me.I don't know why, but it was hot earlier, so I couldn't use the blanket. I couldn't help but shake my head. Slowly, I caressed his face over and over again. His cheeks were so fluffy, and he was starting to grow a small beard. He was becoming even more handsome."You're so handsome, Hubby," I said to him, and I almost burst out laughing when he replied with a sleepy grunt. I couldn't help but give him a kiss."Child, enjoy yourself. This time, think about your own happiness.""Th
