I don't remember what happened except the scenario between I, Theron and Samantha earlier in the bar.

"You shouldn't have done that earlier, Athara. Look at what happened to you. You've only been hurt and humiliated," Herodotus told me.

Herodotus was right. I wish I hadn't done that thing. I wish I had strengthened my heart earlier and acted like I didn't see the sweetness of my husband and Samantha.

"Herod, what your friend did to me was too painful. He brought the girl I hated and was jealous of to the party," I cried.

Herodotus sat beside me. He took off his tuxedo and placed it on my back. Because of his tuxedo, my back warmed up a bit. It's not like before when it was so cold because the cold temperature was directly on my skin.

"You know, Ameline, it's your fault that all of this happened. I hope you didn't let Athara drink too much!" he blamed Ameline.

Ameline took a deep breath. Ameline did not speak. I think my friend blames herself too.

    I am now inside the guest room. I insisted on sleeping with Ameline but she said that she snores a lot. I leaned on the heading of the bed and hugged the soft pillow. The sound of silence inside this room is deafening. The whole white pain of the wall made me see an imaginary portrait of my husband with Samantha. It was late when I knew that Sam was not just an ordinary woman to whom my husband was having an affair with. For sure, she came before me. For sure she's the one that my husband wants to marry and to be with until he would be spitting out his last breath.I touched my face and forced myself to smile even though it was very hard. I was successful to smile but it was not made because of joy but because of self-pity and pain. I lay down in an indolent manner. I looked up to the ceiling. The juxtaposition of my dreams and what came to happen didn't fit with each other. The road from my life a couple of years back then to my life now is far from the prospects I set. I twirl h

    I am hugging myself as I enter the house. I went to our house as it was Theron's want. I am afraid too that he and Herodotus might end up hurting each other because of me. I sat down. He's not uttering any words but he was silent and his fave wasn't making any expression. He then sat down opposite to me. I am sure that he was staring straight at me even though I was focused on looking at the table."You slept with my cousin," he declared. I didn't answer. "You slept with Herodotus, Athara!" he then shouted. The sound of the broken glass made me raise my head. The glass of the table was broken as he punched in from above. "Athara, tell me what did you do at his house? Does he treats you well? Does he show chivalry through his actions and his words? Is he way better than I am? Answer me!"As I blinked, my tears fell on my lap. He became to much in throwing malicious words at me. "Theron, if you can't trust him. Will you please give trust to me?"He shook his head. "How could I tr

    I let him sleep in that position. I stood up and straightened myself immediately. I even took a bath to get rid of the uncertain feelings that my heart was feeling. Theron makes things more complicated. I was even more confused because of what he said. What is that? If I am not the child of my parents he will not hurt me? If I am not the child of my parents, will he respect me? If I am not the child of my parents, maybe he will love me? I walked under the shower and waited for the drops of water to drip from it. The water from the shower was warm. I like the temperature of the water because it calms my body down a bit. Even my brain that almost bled thinking about the things my husband said calmed down. Thanks to the warm water.After the routine of taking a bath I went outside and dry myself in front of the mirror. I returned to the bed and I see that he was still sweaty. I touched his neck and find out that his skin was sticky. He doesn't like it when he felt stickiness on his s

    He did follow me after he finished his bath. Now he is wearing a white t-shirt and black shorts. He was also wearing thick socks. The maids are already busy cleaning upstairs. I stood up and pulled the chair where he was going to sit. "What do you want to eat? Fried chicken? Ham? Do you want ham? I also prepared a beef stew for you. Sip some soup to get rid of your hangover," I told him while I was busy getting the food and put them on his plate. I endured the heat my hand absorbed from the thin bowl. "Athara, I'm not a disabled person who can't get food for myself. Just sit down and get food for yourself," Theron told me.The smile on my lips disappeared because of what he said. I just gently placed his plate with food in front of him. I swallowed and just took my food that was for me. I started cutting the ham that I put on my plate. My cut got stronger so the sound it made got louder. "S-Sorry, Theron," I said as he glared at me because of the noise I made cutting the ham. H

    I am busy putting the ointment on the bruises that my own hands caused. I closed my eyes as my skin absorbed the coolness effect of the ointment. I'm feeling good somehow. It's been a week after I hurt my own face. "Look what you did to your face, Athara. No one suffered but you. Somehow, think before doing anything to yourself," my husband said. I didn't say a word of blaming him because I did it to myself. And telling him that I did it because of him is quite unreasonable to him. He will put his ass away if I reason that out. He always washes his hands after the damage has been done to ensure that he is not the one to be blamed. "You're here already? I thought you wouldn't come home.""This is my house. I will go home whenever I want," he said. He removed his clothes and took a towel to cover his lower body. He headed to the bathroom. I faced the mirror again. I haven't been able to move the muscles in my face very much because the parts with bruises are still aching. "Theron'

    I opened my eyes because I was dazzled by the sunlight that came through the small opening in the window. I stretched before I went up. I will face another new day. It's been a month and today is the last day I'll wait for my menstrual period to come. Suddenly I felt nauseous so I got up and immediately ran to the bathroom. I gripped the end of the sink tightly and immediately threw up air and saliva. "God," I whispered. Stomach pain attacks when only saliva and air are vomited. I immediately touched the upper part of my stomach and gently pushed it down. I couldn't hear anything else except the fast and loud beating of my heart and the water coming out of the faucet. I looked in the mirror. My reflection is blurry because of the tears blocking my vision. "My God, I think I'm pregnant," I whispered again. My smile gradually widened because of my thoughts. "I'm pregnant?!"I hugged my stomach and jumped up and down with caution. Because of the happiness I felt, my eyes produced

    ••Theron••My heart beat even faster when I saw my wife fall to the ground. Tears welled up in her eyes and those tears kissed the grass.I looked at our two maids. My eyes were asking what happened to my wife. The two shook their heads. Concha is crying because of nervousness. "Concha! What did you do to her?!" I asked Concha. I can feel Concha's nervousness. Even her lips were trembling. "I didn't do anything to her. She asked me for coffee so I brewed it for her and brought it here to the garden according to her instructions. I didn't do anything to Ma'am A-Athara," said Concha, defending herself. Fuck! I scratched the back of my neck because of the nervousness. I'm not sure what I should do. I'm confused. "If something happens to her, you will be responsible for it," I told the two. "I'm not guilty of what happened. I just followed Ma'am Athara's order," said Concha. Even if our relationship is not good, I can't bear to see her in pain because of other people. I don't want o

    The nurses have moved Athara to a private room. The three of us are now walking with mommy and daddy towards her room. The maids were ordered by mommy to get Athara's things and buy fruits for her. I feel they are all favouring my wife. They see me as a villain in Athara's life. I could hear mommy's giggles of great joy when she found out that Athara was pregnant. I was afraid that they might find out that my wife was pregnant before but the child was miscarried. I know they will scold me when they find out what happened to Athara's first pregnancy. "Honey, I am rejoicing now because of the very good news I heard earlier. Can you imagine that? A child would be calling me grandmom and will be calling you granddad. That would be fun! Isn't it, honey?!" mommy said happily to daddy. Daddy laughed because he was happy with what mommy said. "Yes, honey! We will be having our first grandchild soon! You know what? I really want Athara to have five in her womb so that we can have a team

  • Loathed Wife of the Wicked Billionaire   Epilogue

    Two years had come and gone since the untimely passing of my beloved husband, Theron. The pain of his absence still reverberated within me, but life went on, as it always does. I found solace in the comforting arms of our three children, Wisdom, Triumph, and Athro. Together, we stood strong, leaning on one another as we navigated the unpredictable journey of grief.In this time of sorrow, there was one constant source of support that held us all together: Mother Tanna. She had been my rock throughout this tumultuous period, offering her unwavering love and guidance when I needed it the most. Tanna had known Theron since we were young, and her bond with our family was unbreakable.On a sunny afternoon, as rays of golden light filtered through a canopy of trees, I found myself standing before Theron's grave. The marble headstone, etched with his name and the dates that bookended his life, stood as a somber reminder of our loss. I gently traced his name with my fingertips, a bittersweet

    My heart was beating even faster than before. Earlier, the police with Theron were shooting against Herod's men. "Athara, are you still there?""Y-Yes, Theron. Are there more enemies?""Ugh...damn," Theron moaned weakly but surely in pain, making me stand up without thinking that an enemy might see me."Theron? What happened to you? Are you hurt?!" I asked him worriedly. "I-I am not," he said even though it was obvious that he was hurt. I held tightly to the end of the cement beds. Now I realize where I am. I was inside the morgue of this abandoned hospital. "Theron, do not lie! Are you hurt? Don't hide anything from me, Theron! What's happening to you?!""N-Nothing! Don't worry because I'm fine. The best thing you can do is to stay there and not come out!"I walked out of the morgue, my heart pounding in my chest. The sound of gunshots still echoed through the empty halls of the abandoned hospital, but my thoughts were solely focused on Theron. I knew deep down that he had been s

    My right hand trembled as it swam inside my bag. I pulled my hand back when I caught the object I intended to pick up from it. It was my phone. I let out a sigh when my phone was in front of my face. "Love, we can not go ahead with the plan if you hesitate. We'll just find another way to catch Herodotus," Theron said to me as he grabbed my left hand that had fallen to the side of my body. I looked at him and smiled. "Theron, I don't hesitate. I just can't help but feel nervous and scared."He positioned himself behind me. He hugged me while his chin rested on my shoulder. "We can talk to Officer Lucas," he continued. I shook my head before facing him. I know that he was full of concern for me. The worries in his eyes were readable."I can't back down, Theron. It's here. We're here. If Herodotus doesn't put an end to his evil, I ... we will."He just smiled and pulled me closer to him. He gave me a tight hug. My nervousness and fear gradually disappeared because of my husband's hu

    It was noticeable that my husband was not very energetic. I didn't talk to him and I didn't apologize after I slapped him. I'm tired of the setup of our life. It's tiring to hide. I think it's better to live like other people, that's why I've made up my mind to coordinate with the police to make Herodotus' greed over. I informed Mother Tanna of my plan. We are now sitting on a sofa. We are next to each other. My right hand was locked between her two palms. We stared at each other at this time. "Have you really made up your mind to do this thing, child?""Mother Tanna, I'm not backing down anymore. This is for my family. This is for all of us. I know it's scary but it's not right that we'll be afraid forever. I've always wanted all of this to end," I said. You can see the fear in Mother Tanna's eyes. He pressed holding my hand. "Child, how about your husband?"I pressed my lips together. I breathed deeply. "He's against my decision, mother. We haven't spoken for a few days after I

    I kept staring at Lucas. I just saw his mouth open but what he was saying didn't sink into my mind. "What?"He adjusted his seat. "What I said is let's make your wife a bait. Athara is what he wanted to get from you, right? If he agrees to meet Athara, then surely that will be our chance to catch him completely."I stood up and immediately shook my head. His way of arresting Herodotus was wrong. My wife will be destroyed the way he wants. There's nonway I would let Athara be in that unsecured plan! "I'm sorry, Lucas. I won't bet my wife on this. What if my wife gets hurt? No way. I can't afford to lose Athara."Lucas gave me a blank look. I know he wants to go ahead with the plan. It was obvious to him that he wanted to convince me. "Look, Theron. Athara is the only way we can catch Herodotus. Security is tight at his house and I'm sure it will be difficult for us to get close to him because he is cunning.""I don't want Athara to be involved—""I will allow myself to be the bait

    The sun was beginning its descent, casting a warm golden glow across the city streets. It had been a long day, and I was eager to head home and find solace in the sanctuary of my humble abode. I stepped out of the office building, briefcase in hand, ready to leave this chaotic world behind.As I made my way towards the parking lot, a familiar unease nestled in the pit of my stomach. Glancing in the side mirror of my car, I caught a glimpse of a sleek, black sedan parked a few meters away. A chill ran down my spine as I recognized the license plate – it was Herodotus' car.Herodotus. The name alone sent shivers down my spine and evoked memories of a painful past. He was a man filled with darkness, an insidious force who sought to claim what was rightfully mine. And now, it seemed that he was lurking in the shadows once again, like a wolf patiently stalking its prey.I knew I couldn't afford to be complacent. Herodotus was relentless, a force to be reckoned with. He wouldn't stop until

    I glanced over at Athara as she fastened her seatbelt. The worry etched on her face was plain to see. Herodotus's relentless pursuit had reached a dangerous level, and it was imperative that we stay together, even on a simple trip to the store. With a deep breath, I mustered up the courage to voice my concerns."Athara," I began softly, "we need to stick together. I don't want to alarm you, but Herodotus is looking for you. He's become obsessed, and I fear he might try to take you away."Athara's eyes widened, and I could see fear creeping into her gaze. I reached out and placed a reassuring hand on her arm, hoping to convey some semblance of comfort."I will, Theron. Don't worry" she whispered, her voice trembling. "What does he want with me anymore? He got your company and the trust of the board."I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. The truth was too complicated, too painful. Herodotus's motives remained shrouded in mystery, his obsession with Athara unfathomable."S

    The water kissed my skin as I was under the shower. Tears were sprouting in the corner of my eyes and slowly forming transparent balls before they were rolling down my face. I knew that it would come to happen. I already accepted the fact that I couldn't please the board and they would wish me to leave my position, but I am not used to it. I remembered the moment that Mommy Thaira and Daddy Rondelle gave me the power to take care of the company. I poured my whole being into the company to improve it and achieve goals. I was the reason why the company was on top now. There are many things I want to happen and achieve as the CEO of the company, but I know they will never happen. I no longer have the right to decide what is good for the company because I am no longer in charge of it. I don't know why the board didn't want daddy to be the CEO again. What they really wanted was Herodotus. They chose Herodotus who was greedy and a traitor to lead the company. After I finished taking a

    As the sun stretched its golden rays across the room, casting a warm glow over the embrace between Mommy Thaira, Daddy Rondelle, and our children, my heart swelled with a mixture of joy and apprehension. It had been days since their visit, and I had been eagerly awaiting this moment, longing to be in the presence of the ones who had showered me with love and affection. Little did I know that their visit would bring unsuspected turns, unraveling a tangled web of emotions.The laughter of our children echoed in the air as they clung tightly to their grandparents, their innocent faces filled with pure delight. "We miss you so much, kiddos!""We miss you too, granny and grappa!"It was a beautiful sight, one that filled my soul with immense gratitude that they had found such unconditional love in Mommy and Daddy. But beneath the joyous reunion, an underlying tension pulsed, making my heart race with anticipation.After the initial flurry of affectionate greetings, Mommy and Daddy asked f
