"I know how hurt you are because of Lucas. What if we make him jealous. I'm sure he'll go crazy when he sees that you've actually moving on." It was one of the ways I tried to avoid choosing, but when Dylan mentioned it to me, I admitted that I liked the idea of ​​hurting Lucas.

I thought about the times when I almost killed myself. The nights that instead of sleeping I cry. I leaned back in the chair and this time I drank a little of the coffee.

"You are really willing to be my rebound, Dylan? Are you out of your mind?" He nodded at me.

"Yes. If that's one of the ways for you to move on quickly."

I was deep in thought as I looked at the transparent window of my office. I can't get rid of the conversation Dylan and I had, especially my consent to it.

I walked back and forth several times, while my hands rubbed my arms. I was restless, wondering if I had made the right decision.

"Ma'am?" I turned to my door where my secretary was peeking.

"Someone wants to talk to you. His

    My heart was gasping with a range of feelings as I entered the cold courtroom. Today, Lucas and I will finally end the marriage that I thought would be filled with love, but it turned out to be filled with betrayal. As I looked on the other side, I saw my ex-husband's arm wrapped around his affair waist. I feel my blood boil with disgust and I want to pummel them into a pulp. By my side is Dylan who insisted on accompanying me here, even though I told him that I can control my feelings no matter what I see, but now I am grateful and I let him accompany me, because if he isn't there, I didn't know if I can really keep on standing here while seeing those person who are still the reason why I am hurting. "I'm just here." He gently caressed my hand. I smiled at him so he wouldn't think too much of me. As we sat prior to the judge, the courtroom filled with anticipation.

    I smiled and waved my hand a little to those cameras around as Dylan and I got out of the car. It's already the night to remember, Mr. Suarez grand party. I was wearing a simple black dress that had an open back with a small slit, and a pair of heels. The color of what Dylan and I are wearing is perfect for what will happen here at the party. We need to be prepared for our mourning later on Lucas' reaction. My one hand grabbed Dylan's arm as we finally got inside. As we went inside the room brought me into an awe, with its gold, marble, and glass chandeliers and walls. The beauty is really amazing, especially when I turn my eyes and see the guests who are really among the famous ones with their big achievements in the industry. "Ms. Gomez! I'm glad you didn't let me down," Mr. Suarez said as he came over from where he was greeting people to give me a hug. "Of course, I won't do that, Mr. Suarez. By the way I would like to congratulate you. This is really amazing!" "By the way, it'

    "Of course..." The whisper got even louder, as I said that as a response to the reporter's question. "What really? Are those real?" The people around us started to murmurs again. "Woe to those who work in his company," some of them even told it sadly. "So, disappointing." "Of course, I'm not!" I continue, and if most of them finally let out the breath they're holding back a while ago. "Liar! That woman is the one behind all of this. Ever since Lucas broke up with her, she has been messing up our lives. She is definitely doing her revenge, that poor girl!" Roxanne entered in the conversation. While the cameras have not been removed from our habits. "How dare you try to ruin me, Dianna. I didn't think you could do this. Why don't you just admit it." I played with the ends of my hair, pretending to take a deep breath. Whatever happens that night, I will not going to admit that I am the reason why all of this is happening right now.

    I fixed my hairpin on the side of my hair, and then I added a little make up to my cheeks before finally getting out of my car and then entering one of Mr. Suarez elegant companies. I walked up to the front desk and was greeted with a courteous grin by the receptionist. "Good day, Ma'am. How may I help you?" she asked me politely. I sipped and rolled my eyes for a moment. "I am looking for Mr. Suarez. I am Dianna Gomez." The front desk agent glanced at her computer before nodding. "Yes, Ma'am! He's actually waiting for you. You just go straight this way, then Mr. Suarez's office is at the end of the hall." "Thank you." When I got to the front of the office, I knocked, only a few moments later, Mr. Suarez. "Oh, Dianna! I'm glad you're here. Come in." I looked around his office. It's so nice, with those trophies, medals and certificate frames everywhere. With a class of people like him, it is certain that he will never forget how embarrassed he was because of what happened

    Another week has passed, my work today has become a pile of work that's why my shoulders are falling. I took the key to the house, but I wondered why it was already open. When I opened the door and stepped inside, I was surprised to see people I didn't expect to be here. "Mom? Dad?" I still rubbed my eyes, but I also hit by the reality immediately, when I felt their hug on me. "W-What are you doing here? I mean, why didn't you tell me that you were coming home to the Philippines?" I asked them still surprised. When Mama's eyes met, I saw the concern there. They hugged me tightly again. "Your mother is worried for you, I also accompanied her home, because we want to talk to you," Dad said. We sat on the sofa first, as I put down my things. "Dianna, we are so worried about you. We have also heard about what is happening here, especially what happened at Mr. Suarez's grand party." My heart beat faster. "I know its you behind all that shit, right?" I blinked, tried to shake my

    As the hand on my mouth was removed from mine, I immediately looked at my back to see who dared to do such a thing. "What the heck, Lucas?!" He adjusted the glasses he was wearing and then looked around a few times. "Dianna, I need to talk to you." He grabbed my arm but I shook his hand. "What do you think you're doing, huh?" I asked him emphatically. He pulled me to the side again. "Dianna please, I need your help." I sneezed. "Even if you die you will get no help from me!" "Please, Dianna. My company is going to collapse forever if you don't help me. Many people have already resigned. They have lost trust in me because of that demon Norman." "The board of directors are asking me to find someone new investor that is capable of buying the substantial shares. But I can't afford losing my company. I can't let someone else own everything I worked for. So I'm begging you, Dianna. Be the one to buy the shares." My lips parted. I took a deep breath and pretended to look at him

    I hold Dylan's VISA in my hand. Here we are at the airport, because today is our flight to New York. Maybe he noticed my anxiety a little bit which is why he stopped walking for a moment. "Are you all right?" Worry appeared on his face. I nodded and smiled lightly. "I'm fine Dylan. I just can't help but think about what's waiting for us in New York. I mean, we have business there. And Papa told me I can bother myself there too." He came closer to me and then caressed the surface of my hands. "Don't worry, okay? I'm just here." I smiled at him. "Thanks, Lucas." "So, let's go?" I nodded to him. As we are already on our seats inside the plane. I glanced outside and took a deep breath. When we leave here in the Philippines I will try to forget all the painful memories I have. And hopefully, two years will be enough for the wound in my heart to truly heal. I leaned on Dylan's shoulder, while he briefly stroked the top of my hair. I slowly closed my eyes. I'm sure that as

    I closed my eyes as I breathed in the Philippine breeze again. Two years later I am here again. It's just really a little bit sad how I need to leave my homeland just to move on. I just hope that the time I spend on New York will not be wasted for nothing. I realized that I had taken a nap with the sun shining on my face and setting sun. Dylan looked at me from my side. "You seemed tired. We should have been home earlier, but the traffic is taking so long," he said. I smiled and stretched a little. "You said it right. It's not new. We'll go in the morning but we'll be home by noon or afternoon." As the car started to move forward a little bit, my heart felt a warmth of belonging as I took in the recognizable sights and noises outside the car window. "What are you feeling, Dianna?" Dylan asked me later. "Of course, I felt tired and sleepy." "I mean, what if you immediately cross paths with your ex-husband." I stared at him for a moment then laughed. "Nothing, Dylan. Mayb

    I don't know exactly how I will feel. My cheeks were wet when I stopped my car in the garage of the house. It took a long time before I got out of here because until now I feel like heaven and earth have thrown me down. I washed my face. I couldn't stop crying especially since Dylan was completely gone from me, he didn't even know that we were going to have our first baby. I know it's all my fault why he broke up with me. I can't blame him for that. Even if I want to follow him to Hong Kong, I don't want to be selfish again. Maybe it would be better if he was far away from me for now so he wouldn't get hurt anymore. My shoulders slumped as I stepped into the front door of the house. I opened it, then hit the light switch. My eyes rolled, my lips parted and it trembled again when I saw who the man was standing there, holding flowers, while he opened one of his arms. "D-Dylan!" I ran towards him and then hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry...I'm really sorry. P-Please, don't le

    I took a deep breath, as I decided to call him. It is just so stupid of me to believe that I can handle the fact that I will no longer have someone like Dylan Rios in my life. But then, despite the multiple attempts to call him, I didn't get a chance to reach him again. It was a night filled with remorse. I was leaning on the end of my bed with a box on top of my thigh where Dylan and I kept some of our photos that we had taken in New York and other countries where we had vacationed. In a cemetery where my unborn child is buried in, I put down my head and slowly caresses his tombstone. Sadness drew in my heart. "Sorry baby..." "Your Mom had been a monster. I'm a fool to think that you'll be proud of me in heaven. Maybe you're already embarrassing me there." I laughed bitterly, while I can feel the corner of my eyes hiding a tears older. "Your father hurt me so much, and the pain he inflicted on me grew into anger, and those emotions turned me into something I didn't want to

    "Am I really the one in your heart or it is still your ex-husband?" he asked me sadly. "Dylan, it's true—" His shoulder went down and wiped his tear-soaked cheek. "I promised you that I will support you in everything, that I will not leave you." I see the pain the way he looked at me. He knew how much my heart was broken—he saw my scars yet he still tried to comfort me. But I am the one who is hurting the person who saved me. "A-And I'm really sorry, Dianna..." Another tear fell from my eyes. I held him in his arms again. "Sorry because I can't fulfill my promise anymore. I love you so much, you know that. But it hurts so much." "It's painful to see that the person you love still can't completely forget the man who just hurt him. It's painful to love a woman who doesn't seem to be done loving the first man she loved more than me." "It's hard to compete. It's so damn hard, Dianna." "N-No, Dylan..." I hugged him tightly, and I felt his shoulders tremble. "Let's stop making t

    I continued to made them suffered. Every day my tiredness is relieved whenever I hear about them having difficulties.From a nice house to a cheap motel they are living. But of all the things that happened to them, the news that Roxanne stole something from a popular shop is the one I will never forget. Those are just some of the evidences that they are really suffering. "Nanny, who is that?" I asked, after I came out of my work office in my house and heard some yelling. "Ma'am, there are two people that are struggling to talk to." My forehead furrowed. I glanced at the watch on my hand. It's nine o'clock in the evening. "Alright, nanny. I'll take care of it." I walked towards the door and found Lucas and Roxanne still arguing. "What are you doing here? It's late at night, aren't you ashamed of my neighbors and you're still fighting here?" "I told you, Lucas. We shouldn't be coming here! Do you think this woman can help us, especially since she's the cause of all the troubl

    I'm on my way to my company. Today I plan to focus on my important meetings with new investors. I glanced at my watch again, there was probably an hour left before I got to the company.When I returned my gaze to the road again, my driving slowed down as I noticed the crowd and the traffic on the other side of the road."What's up?" I whispered to myself. I opened the window and then I saw a familiar car. It was Lucas' prized possession, a symbol of his former wealth. I put my car aside for a moment then watched Lucas fight the repo man. His face was red with anger, his voice was so high pitched that even birds flew away.He was gesturing wildly at the car, clearly desperate to stop it from being taken away. I couldn't stop laughing at what I was seeing now. The man who used to be in the news because of the achievements he received is now laughed at. Deciding to have a little fun, I got out of the car and approached the crowd. "What's — Oh, Lucas Rodriguez, is that you?" I

    "To what do I owe this unexpected visit?" I met his dark look at me. I am sure he's here to urge with me again. "You are really collecting sins, Dianna. You're the reason why we're suffering today!" he said softly but firmly then held me tightly by my arm. "Let go of me, Lucas," I ordered him threateningly, but he didn't listen. "Don't you have a conscience, huh? Because of what you are doing, our daughter is also suffering." I gritted my teeth, because he didn't want to let me go, so I was the one who removed his hand from my arm. "Ah, it's so surprising that you know that word. Why, Lucas? Do you have a conscience for everything you did to me? You hadn't, so why would I give you the quiet and happy life you want if you didn't let me to have it?" "The tables have already turned. Don't you like your situation now, it's your time to shine." "I'm not kidding, Dianna." My left eyebrow rose. "Oh, why? Who said we're joking here, Lucas? We're not." I saw how his jaw darkened, the

    "Mommy, mommy, I'm hungry!" I heard Reanna's cry from the speaker. I leaned back in my swivel chair and continued watching. I feel a little bad for Reanna, though I know that she doesn't have any bad things to do with me, she needs to suffer also because she's the daughter of those people who make me suffer first also. "Reanna, don't annoy me, okay? I told you to go to the kitchen. Open the refrigerator and find anything to eat there!" Reanna started to throw a tantrum."Roxanne, what's going on?" As I started to heard Lucas voice on the record, I feel more the excitement within me. "Your daughter keeps crying. Come on!" The camera feed was briefly cut off and only resumed when it covered their kitchen. I watched as Roxanne opened their refrigerator. I watched her reaction, as she saw nothing but an empty fridge, there's no even a single food there. "Shit! Lucas!" she exclaimed, like the only hope she has, even disappeared. "Lucas, come here!""Roxanne, can't you see I'm still loo

    A new day greeted me. I hold in my hand the two folders where Lucas's work that should be finished is placed. It was only a few steps before I could give it to him when I saw Roxanne. "Where is that girl of yours?!" "Roxanne, don't make a scandal here." I saw how Lucas pull her on the side. I cautiously approached and hid on the side. "And why not? That Dianna is taking you away from me!" Lucas looked around before bowing slightly and approaching Roxanne. "Don't ruin my plan, Roxanne." I leaned against the wall behind me. "Just make sure, Lucas. You wouldn't want me to get mad." Lucas closed his eyes for a moment. "Yes! Just a little more time, I think her heart is really soft for me." "Oh, this! I cooked that." Lucas took it. "Alright, go now! Maybe instead of finishing my plans right away, I'll have to wait a little longer because of your preening." Roxanne glared at him and then he kissed her on the cheek before turning away from her. I was especially hidden from

    I broke away for air, my breath hitched and I closed my eyes. And after some seconds our eyes met again, he kissed me deeply and I closed my eyes once more. Our tongues intertwined. The shallow kiss deepened, his body was even closer to me, which is why I was lying on the bed. He kissed me again, but this time I felt his hot tongue inside. The heat I felt flared up even more. "M-May I?" His voice even trembled when he asked me, the way he looked seemed to be asking permission for whatever he was going to do. I smiled at him and then nodded. He took my clothes off as I pulled his shirt over his head. I felt him move underneath me. We were both breathing heavily by the time he rolled us over so that I lay on top and began to fondle my breasts. I moaned and grabbed his back. "I love you, Dianna... I love you so much.." he whispered as his lips touched my neck. "I-I love you too, Dylan," I said as my breathing intensified. I understand Dylan's explanation that he can't give
