34HerโWhat?โ was all I can say. โAlex, youโre scaring me.โ I said as he near my face.โWhy did you make me think that you like me Emily? I was starting to think that I like you despite the fact that weโre different. You made me feel things and experience being with you but what is this? Youโre a mistress?โ He said like heโs really hurt.I can only stare at him because I donโt know what to say to him and also because I donโt think I need to explain myself how I got myself into the position where Iโm the other woman. I think he deserve to know why I made him think I like him. Actually, I really like him. I was starting to think that I have the possibility to like someone thatโs not Arthur, thatโs why I was trying to act like I do like him to know how we would react but seeing him like this makes me want to rethink about all of those.โWhy?!โ He hold both of my shoulder that made me shiver. Iโm scared, heโs not the Alexis that I know. I thought he wouldnโt question me about this issue
35FaceI look at dad whoโs calling Floraโs dad for the appointment we set for today. I kind of feel nervous seeing her after all of the articles and all of the fights.I under estimated her capabilities. It is really true that you can do anything when it comes to love and sheโs desperate because sheโs not just losing the love of her life but sheโs also in the verge of losing their business due to bankruptcy.I donโt know the reason for their business to fail. I donโt know if itโs really because of us but either way she chose the wrong fight to pick just to save their business.I gulp as I heard dad mention Floraโs name. Itโs nothing serious as I saw him laughing on the phone but Iโm nervous because Iโm really going to see her and confront her.โAre you sure about this?โ Mom asked that made me look at her and I nodded. โI donโt feel at ease.โโMom, Iโm a big girl now. Donโt worry about me. Just think of this as like sending me to work. Just trust me on this one.โDad is approaching us
36NewsโWhat are we going to tell her?โโSheโs stress. We should tell her calmly or should we tell her?โMy brows creased as I heard some muffled voices. I look at the ceiling feeling nauseous, I wander my eyes to the surrounding and realize that Iโm in a hospital and my parents are in the corner talking silently. I try to move but I canโt.โMom.โ I said in almost like a whisper that made my parents look at me with wide eyes.โOh! My! Emily, youโre finally awake.โ Mom said and holding my hands tight. โGo, call a doctor.โ Mom said that made dad rushed outside probably calling the doctor.โHow are you feeling?โ She said and hold my hand.I gesture to give me a basin and she immediately grabbed one in the corner and I vomit like I got drunk last night.โWhat happen?โ I hold my neck as I felt a slight sting because I vomit.Mom bit her lips and look at the door when it made a noise. Dad cane in with the doctor and when I look at mom searching for answers but she only smile as the doctor
37HealItโs been a month since we arrive at the US and day by day I feel so lonely. When I first arrive here I always cry which made my parents worried. I canโt explain the emotion but I long for him and I keep remembering his face when we lock our eyes at the airport.โIf youโre going to continue this you might put the baby in danger.โ Mom would always say.I donโt know if I should be grateful because they didnโt comment about me being pregnant and choosing to keep the baby. I think they are also relieved that Iโm not planning to tell Arthur.My parents arenโt always here. They just came with me when I moved here but after a week they left to came back for work and to also clarify the incident Iโve been part of.The media has calmed down and Iโm hoping they will forget about it forever. I donโt want to remember that memory again and even though Iโm angry at Flora for what she did I chose to forget about it and let her be because I donโt want her to find out that Iโm pregnant not bec
38ArthurโArthur. Let me go.โ I said but he pulled me by my waist and hug me in the back but my eyes are fixed in my stomach that his fingers are touching.I notice him stiffed to and his breathing become heavy and I can feel it in my neck. The next thing I know he made me face him, I try to resist but he was strong and desperate.โYouโre pregnant.โ He said while looking at my belly.โNo.โ I try to deny but he looks at me angrily.โThereโs no use of denying it Emily. I can already see it. Youโre not bloated or fat. Youโre pregnant and I know itโs mine base on itโs size.โโArthur.โ I pushed his hands away and he look at me confusedly. โI already left you. Youโre now free to be with your wife. I can raised this baby alone. Iโm capable of doing that.โโEmily.โ He holds my shoulder. โDonโt you get it? Iโm here because I want to be with you. Iโฆ love you.โ He said that made me stiff.My mouth open a little. He never said that to me not even once when we were together and hearing him say it
39ConfrontationWas it all a dream? Thatโs what I keep asking myself the moment that I woke up. Arthur isnโt beside me and Iโm all alone in my room. I scan the room but there were no sign of Arthur that made my heart beat fast.I hurriedly went out of the bed and went down to the stairs with a panicking pace but all of it immediately vanish when I saw Arthur in the kitchen topless and cooking.Heโs facing the other side and he still havenโt notice that Iโm here. I was about to approach here when I heard him talking to someone.To someone that I donโt like. โFlora. Just shut up. You owe me this after what you have done.โ He said that made my eyes wide.What is he asking to Flora? I wanted to hear more but he put the phone down and face me that made me jump. He was also surprise to see me but he smiled and greeted me good morning.โGood morning. I thought you were gone.โ I bit my lips and walk near him.โWhy would I leave you? That wonโt happen again.โ He said and kiss my forehead. I s
40 (Part 1)His Side Arthurโs Point of ViewThe moment I open the door to our house, I had this feeling of uneasiness. I work late again today and my wife is alone in the house but I heard some weird noises as I approach our bedroom but when I was about to open the door my feet caught something in the floor and my heart started beating fast as I squat and look at the jacket that I know so much. Itโs tangled up with my wifeโs panties and the moment I open the door of our bedroom my world crashed.My mouth open as I watch my wife on top of the man I admire the most--my brother. My wife is moving up and down and my brotherโs eyes are closed as they both experience pleasure.I stood there still until my brother notice me. His eyes widen and pushed my wife away from him and look at me with so much guilt in his eyes but I shake my head. Iโm disappointed, I feel useless, I feel betrayed and I hate it that I didnโt even saw this coming. I wonder how long has been this going. I always work la

I remember every moment that has happened last night and Iโm not going to lie, It feels good.I admire her sleep while she hug the pillow tightly. The person that I interact last night is very different from the person Iโm seeing right now. I think this is the Emily that her dad keep telling me.I smile but it immediately vanish when I received a text from Flora. She keep texting me that she want me back and she still love me but I donโt reply.I sigh and put my phone down.

Iโm over those stage and I am, Iโm just forcing myself to believe it.I showered to get it out of my system but even after drying my hair and laying down in my bed I still canโt get it out of my head. I keep turning and changing my position in bed but that doesnโt help.I sigh and sit on my bed and look for things that I can do to distract myself and when I saw my luggage I immediately know what I will do.I start to unpack, yes I still havenโt start unpacking even after weeks has passed but Iโm doing it right now and it does kind of help because I keep fighting with myself of why did I bring such clothes instead of the good ones but who cares right? This is just for keeping me out from thinking about what happen earlier but when I saw a box I couldnโt think straight.

I’m getting tired of staying in my room and Nena’s back so might as well use this time to learn cooking… for myself.Nena chuckled and help me instead. “You’re still learning but you’ll go there.”“Cooking isn’t for everyone and maybe I’m part of that population.”Mom and Dad went out for work early and as much as I want to cook for them I know they are escaping my cooking because every dinner it’s what we eat and I don’t know if I should be angry about that but I know I’m not good yet and I appreciate them for eating my food… even though it taste like crap.“Why aren’t you sa
62ShockEmily’s POVInhaling the air when the moment you land stepping out of the airplane feels weird… maybe because I didn’t expect to come home for something like this?

Even I didn’t know that I will be coming home here alone… not technically alone Nena is here getting our luggage alone while I am busy with my phone.“Can you pick me up?” The moment I call my friends I know they will know that something is wrong but I don’t want to commute and either way I’m going to meet them might as well ask them to fetch us.“You?
