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

    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

    "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 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

    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

  • My Husband's Affair [ENGLISH VERSION]   Chapter 1: Distant

    I saw how the sun sank already on the horizon from the front window of our home. In our fancy living room I sat on the couch with my feet dangling over the armrest, a glass of wine in my hand and a book propped up against my legs to keep me company. I loved the view from this spot because it was such a lovely one that took my mind off all the shit that had been going down lately. I felt the weight of my feelings more when my gaze landed on Lucas. His eyes were fixed on the laptop in front of him. His fingers were flying across the keys with a speed with his brows furrowed in concentration. His hair was tousled messily from where he'd run his hand through it repeatedly, until I thought of speaking. "Lucas," I almost whispered his name."I have an idea... Can we go out of town next weekend? You know, get some time away,""So that we can bond again. Just to at least get some fresh air? Away from stressful work." I saw how his hands stopped typing on the laptop, still he didn't look at

    I hurriedly grabbed my things and then I followed Lucas just as he had just entered his car. "Honey, wait!" I caught my breath when I stopped. I was about to speak again when he got ahead of me. "By the way, Dianna..." "I can't drive you through your work because I have something important to go to." My shoulder fell down as I sighed for the second time in a few minutes. "H-Huh? You can pass me by like you used to do or even do that first, after all I'm not in a hurry." He picked up his key and momentarily removed his arms that were resting on the steering wheel of the car. "Dianna, you have your own car. You're just putting me into hassle. It's not bad to drive yourself sometimes," he said when he opened her mouth as if to protest again. My gaze dropped, my feet pulled back from his car. I pretended not to be hurt. "Ah, you're right! That's actually a good idea. It's been a long time since I went with you because you prefer to pick me up." "Alright, be careful. Chat me later

    The sun dances on the curtain on our kitchen's window, and its golden rays shine in the room as if it were an open day. The scent of fresh flowers fills the entire house, the air is fragrant with their sweet fragrance, the birds chirp happily outside of our windows. I put the apron on my body as I move around the kitchen. I'm humming while I prepare breakfast. It's something that I do for him most of the time. I took a moment to look at the clock hanging above the refrigerator, and I smiled because it was still early, I was sure that it would be Lucas sooner or later. I admit that Lucas often stays up late or overtime in his work, I hardly ever see him take his eyes off his laptop. We often don't even talk because he falls asleep right away, that's why I wake up even earlier so I can prepare breakfast for him. I can't help but be singing while cooking, I'm sure he'll be happy again when the fragrant smell of what I'm cooking for him comes out later. I get a mug to prepare a cup of

    "Dianna, I'm pregnant!" I was clutching my chest when my office door slammed, as Chelsea handed me a pregnancy test with a positive result. My eyes widened. "Oh my gosh! It's definitely good news, Chelsea. I'm happy for you and Dave." "Congratulations!" I added and returned the pregnancy test to her. She was happy to sit in the chair in front of my table. "Does Dave already know?" "Actually, not yet. I just found out, and I'm still thinking of a way to make it unique when I tell him." "You're the type who will really cry when he finds out!" "Dianna, I'm really happy. I mean, it's a different feeling when you find out you're going to be a Mommy soon." I saw the glow on her face and smiled. She was so happy, it's too obvious. Well, who wouldn't? "I'm sure that no matter how you tell your husband that, his smile will reach heaven." Her gaze became even wider, her eyes seemed to contain stars. "Oh, I'm sure of that too! How many times have we been rocked, and finally now it was wo

    "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
