"Someone sent me flowers? I can't believe someone sent me flowers, a week after I got home. 'Who are they from?' "From sir---" Olga started to answer, but I cut her off. "Just throw them away... I can buy as many of those as I want," I told her. "B-but..." "You can have them if you like," I replied. "We could put them on the altar, senyorita," she suggested. "Olga, I've told you to just call me Maine, like everyone else. Have you heard any of the other household staff call me senyorita?" I said to her. "It's because you're my employer," she said, embarrassed. "I'm not just your employer, we're friends. You're my assistant, but you're also my friend. I don't want any boundaries between us. As long as I feel your respect, it's fine with me, even if you just call me by my name," I answered. "T-thank you, even though it feels a bit awkward—Mi—Maine," she stuttered. "That's better... and one more thing, if it's from my—ex-husband, auto-reject! I don't want him to have a
I saw Olga coming out of the house, carrying the flowers I had intended for my wife. "She wants them thrown away, sir. She says she can buy those herself, as many as she wants," Olga told me. "She said to return them to you." "Not even to place on the altar?" I insisted. "No, she doesn't want that either. She might get mad at me," Olga replied, handing me the flowers. "Excuse me, I have to go to school." She hurried back into the house. I scratched my head. I just realized that winning over Maine is really difficult. I'm used to women accepting me right away when I give them flowers. Now, it seems my good looks aren't enough. I glanced at the vacant lot behind Maine's house and came up with an idea. Why not turn the vacant lot into a garden? Maybe this way, I can capture Maine's attention and heart. I'll make sure the place looks beautiful and inviting so she'll notice my effort. I need to start right away so she can see how much I'm willing to do for her. ********** Wh
It's been almost two months since I left Demi's house. And it's been about a month since she stopped pursuing me. There haven't been any discussions in our house about Demi and me. She's become closed off. It's better for me that way. But I must admit, I miss my wife. One morning, I called Olga to have someone to talk to and to ask her about Demi. "How's your master doing?" I asked her. "Oh, ma'am, your master is always out. We're starting to think he might have another woman," she said to me. "Wow! So he has time to cheat, huh?" I said, annoyed with Olga. "Yeah, that's what we think. I told myself that if I see her, I'll pull her hair out," Olga replied. "How did you find out?" I suddenly got curious about her. "Of course, from Marissa. I asked her to keep an eye on your husband," Olga said. "Ugh! How dare she, right? Do you think I should file for annulment?" I asked her, even though deep inside, I'm hurting. "Not yet. We need to find out who the woman is first,
"I'm-- I'm a rape victim.." her voice sounds like nothing. "By whom?" I asked her. "I was sold by someone from our town to the pimp at the house... he said I would work in a factory... but it turned out, he sold me to his club.. For a hundred thousand pesos. After my first night there, I escaped. And on the street, I saw sir. He picked me up, and brought me here. I was so scared back then. Until he assured me that nothing bad would happen to me with them." She recounted. "So, the stories you told me before, they weren't true?" I asked. She shook her head before speaking, "because sir said only the two of us would know everything. That's why he told me to tell my companions a different story about where I came from. He said I should file a case, but I didn't want trouble, so I stayed at his house. I worked. He offered to educate me, but I was still afraid, so he didn't force me." "So, you're loyal to him?" I asked Olga. "That was in the past, ma'am. I owe him everything,
"Sir, your wife completely believes you have someone else," Olga told me. "She said she'll come here as soon as Marissa tells her your woman is here." "Is she jealous?" I asked Olga. "Yes, very jealous. She said she still loves you. Sir, be ready; it looks like World War 3 is about to start," Olga added. "I did the right thing then," I said to her with a smile. "Just don't drag me into this, sir. Pretend I know nothing about it. She'll be mad at me," she warned me. "I'll take care of you. We'll make a scene next week," I replied with a smile. "You can really be trusted." "Thank you, sir. Just don't let the madam know. She has a lot of trust in me," she pleaded. "You can count on it, Olga," I replied to her. "But... is it true that he's jealous?" "It's true... he's really furious. You better be prepared if he storms in here," she answered me. "Senorita is acting strange too, she loves you but won't come back to you..." "Let it be, it's her right, the important thing i
"It's true, Senyorita. The woman sir is courting isn't that pretty," Olga reported to me. "She's tall and sexy, but I still think you're more beautiful, Senyorita." "Really, Olga? My husband sure doesn't know how to pick someone better than me. He's really going to pay for this. What is he thinking, moving on while I haven't moved on yet? Does he really want us to separate? He's stopped courting me and doesn't even remember me. It's been a month since he last tried to win me back. He must really have someone else now," I responded. "Yes, Senyorita. Marisa even suggested that we should just pull the woman's hair to make her leave. But she's always following sir around, so we don't have the chance to talk to her. We wanted to tell her that if she wants to be a mistress, it shouldn't be with sir, right?" Olga replied. "Thank you, Olga. I can always count on you and Marisa. It's just so annoying to think about it. My husband is the first to find someone else, while I'm still waiting
I paced back and forth in our living room while Lola was reading. Eventually, she couldn't ignore it and called me out. "Maine, dear! What are you doing? I've noticed you've been pacing around for a while now. It's making me dizzy," she complained. "Oh, have I been doing it for a while, Lola? I'm sorry, I've just been lost in thought," I replied, but I didn't sit down and continued pacing. "Maine, can you please sit down and talk to me? What's on your mind?" she gently held me to stop my pacing. I sat down in front of her. "Lola, what if Demi has found another woman?" I asked her, expecting her to get upset or annoyed. "Oh, well then let him. Didn't you say you don't want him anymore because he's a cheater?" Lola replied unexpectedly. I thought she would be as angry as I was. "Lola, are you okay with him seeing someone else?" I asked irritably, tapping my foot. "What can I do? Didn't you leave his house? You refused him. And now you want me to react? It's a man thing; th
"She was really furious?" I asked happily after Olga told me about my wife's reaction. "Yes, sir. She was so angry she wanted to get violent. She even asked Marisa and me to find out when that woman you supposedly have would be coming over," Olga replied, glancing around. "Oh, and what did you tell her?" I asked, rubbing my chin thoughtfully with my thumb and forefinger. "I told Senyorita that I would talk to Marisa to find out the schedule of the woman so we could come over," Olga replied with a smile. We had met in front of her school to talk, knowing my wife never went there. "Is that so? That's great news. You really deserve a bonus for this," I said, smiling at her. "No need for that, sir. I'm doing this to help you because you've helped me a lot," she replied, blushing and smiling with her hands in her pockets. "It's nothing. I know you're a good person and you deserve the reward. Don't worry, Marisa and I will take care of you both. I'll support you all the way," I assur
My uncle was lying on the floor, laughing and laughing, while the people around me were smirking as I think they knew everything about this scene. My brows furrowed, as I looked at my husband, and demanded an explanation. "I'm sorry honey. I want you to come over, but I don't know how to ask you. Because I know, you will get mad at me," he went closer to me. I raised my hand and slapped him twice. The people around us, were all shocked! They didn't say any words, even my uncle Sandro. I felt betrayed! I'm so foolish to believe them! Olga, Marisa, everyone, they make fun of me! "I'm sorry senyorita," Olga, kneeled in front of me, "we just want you to be happy. We want you and senyorito to stay together, because we know, that you love each other." "Forgive us, senyorita," Marisa also kneeled. "It's our fault. Please, forgive us.." My head was already hurting because of them. Gradually, I felt like a candle burning out. Before I could fall to the floor, Uncle Sandro and Demi caught
"Senyorita, I have news," Olga, suddenly approached me, "Marisa told me that sir's woman are here. They're in the room together.""Really? Now? As in right now?" I confirmed with her."Yes, Senyorita. We need to go there before they leave. And you can catch them in the act," Olga urged."Alright, just a moment. I'll get dressed," I stormed into my room, took a quick shower, and dressed in something elegant and sexy. When i stepped out, Olga was surprised to see me."Senyorita, what are you wearing? Why like that? You never wear revealing clothes." she asked, puzzled"I need to dress like this so your Sir knows what he'll lose if he continues his affair with that woman. Are you sure they're there?""Yes, Senyorita. Marisa said they're definitely there. They just arrived," she confirmed."Good. Where's there... should we splash acid on them?" I asked."Oh no, Senyorita. That's too much. Just hurt them. We'll hold them," she stopped me."Alright. That might be better. The nerve of that m
"Lola, it seems like Maine is really angry," I said to her, worried. "It looks like she'll never forgive me for what I did." "Oh, don't worry about my grandchild. I know she still looks for you. I can see it in her actions. Just don't worry too much," Lola reassured me. "But, Lola, she might be so angry that she won't come back home," I said tensely. "She'll come back. Just continue with your plan with Sandro. When does he plan to bring her there?" She took a sip of her coffee. "Sandro, Olga, and I are still discussing our plan," I replied. "Well, hurry it up. She might suddenly burst in here when you're not prepared. Are your accomplices ready?" She glanced at the door where Maine had entered. "Everything's ready, Lola. We’ve arranged everything. We might be able to execute the plan next week." I felt more confident knowing Lola was on my side. "Make sure of it. I'm running out of things to say to my grandchild whenever she asks if I'm taking your side," she said, her face sho
I was speechless when I saw my wife, Demi, at the dining table. I couldn't confront my grandmother about why she invited Demi to our home, fearing she might get angry with me instead. I ate in silence, and Demi did the same, while Grandma watched us closely. After a while, Grandma cleared her throat. "Ahem," she said, breaking the silence. "Are you two just going to sit there quietly?" I looked at Demi, who seemed just as uncomfortable as I was. Grandma's eyes shifted between us, filled with concern. "You need to talk things out," she continued. "You can't keep ignoring whatever's going on between you." Demi and I exchanged glances, both at a loss for words. I knew she was right. "Lola, what is Demi doing here?" I asked. "I invited him. Why? Is that a problem?" she responded. "But Lola, you know we're going through something," I replied, frowning. "What are you talking about? Why don't you two just talk?" she said, her brows furrowed. "Lola, I don't think I should be here.
"What did your senyorita say, Olga? Is she still curious about my girl?" I asked Olga when we met outside her school. "She's still waiting for news, Senyorito. And she saw the flowers you planted behind the house. She was so happy," she replied. "Really? How did she know I planted them?" I asked excitedly. "Well, there wasn't anyone else who could have planted them because she said her grandma doesn't know how to plant flowers—they always die. So, she figured out it was you when I brought the flowers to her from you," Olga explained. "Oh, what did she say? Did she like the flowers?" I asked happily. "Yes, Senyorito. She loved the flowers you planted. She couldn't believe it was you who planted them," she replied. "Why not?" I frowned at what she said. "Because she didn't know you could plant flowers. So, I told her that the flowers around your mansion were planted by you," she said, glancing at her watch. "Thank you so much, Olga. Was she really happy with the flowers,
I continued pondering why Demi would plant the flowers he sent me at the back of the house. Shortly after, Olga approached me. "Senyorita, what are you doing at the back of the house?" she asked. "Don't you know, Olga, that someone is planting the flowers my husband sends me here at the back?" I asked her. "No, senyorita, because as you instructed, I always return them to senyorito," she replied. "Ah, I see. Because I saw them earlier and asked Lola, but she said it wasn't her who planted them. So it must have been Demi. Turns out he's quite skilled at planting flowers, isn't he?" I said to Olga. "Yes, senyorita. Over at senyorito's mansion, he plants flowers there. He's responsible for all the flowers planted on the grounds," she replied with a smile, gently touching the flowers. "Really? He never mentioned these things to me," I said, looking at the blooming flowers. "Perhaps you didn't have the chance to talk privately," she suggested, glancing at me. "We do talk abo
I laughed when Olga told me and admitted that she really has a crush on Uncle Sandro. She said she only pretends to be angry, but deep inside, she gets thrilled and happy. I just scratched my head at what she said. "What does that girl see in my uncle? He doesn’t have any good qualities aside from being handsome. That's all he can boast about. And yes, he has money, but that's it," I thought, falling into deep contemplation. I was really thinking that perhaps Olga and I were going through similar experiences. I realized that I couldn't quite pinpoint what I liked about my ex-husband Demi either. He wasn’t really kind. He was, at first, but towards the end, he stopped listening, which is why we separated. He and my uncle really have similar personalities. No wonder they get along so well as friends. I decided to step out onto the terrace of my room to get some fresh air. As I looked around, I found joy in watching the trees swaying with the breeze. My eyes wandered to the back of
Olga arrived at the house frowning. I thought something had happened to her. "Oh, why do you look like you had a fight outside?" I asked her. "Nothing, senyorita," she replied to me, "your kind uncle is here." "What did he do to you this time?" I asked, my forehead furrowed. "Hey, Olga, where are you going?" I heard Uncle Sandro call out to Olga. I saw how Olga's eyebrows shot up. "Oh, there’s your annoying uncle again," she said to me, hurriedly making her way to the kitchen. "Olga, I'm talking to you!" Uncle Sandro called out. "What do you need from Olga, Uncle Sandro?" I asked him. "Why is she so annoyed with you? What did you do this time?" I stopped him as he attempted to follow Olga. "Nothing! I didn't do anything to her. I was just asking her something," he replied. "So, what were you asking her?" I asked, crossing my arms in front of him. I knew it was probably some nonsense that was irritating Olga. "Nothing, I was just asking if she has a crush on me." He
"She was really furious?" I asked happily after Olga told me about my wife's reaction. "Yes, sir. She was so angry she wanted to get violent. She even asked Marisa and me to find out when that woman you supposedly have would be coming over," Olga replied, glancing around. "Oh, and what did you tell her?" I asked, rubbing my chin thoughtfully with my thumb and forefinger.
