STUBBORN HEARTS - LOVING WRONG NOT GUILTY
Ray takes long strides from up the side of the rooms and meets Ana, who is shocked to the core halfway. They both make their way to us, their eyes banked on their mother. Ana is suffocating from disbelief. She is seemingly torn between believing what came out of her mother’s mouth and wondering whether she did not hear it well. She is even slightly shaking.“Ray? You... are you done? How long have you been here?” She asks with a tremor. Ooh, why is she shaking now, huh? She should be all bold and continue howling her threats at me.But no. She still wants to play the saint and cover up her crimes. Stupid woman! She should know that the only person in the darkness here is Ana, who is about to find out what kind of mother she is. And this Tarah, the way she is not talking... It seems to me that she is aware of what happened to me back then. I don’t think she would be this calm if her mother-in-law caught her by surprise.“Mom? What are these threats coming from your mouth, huh? How can

“Ooh, come on, Mother! I am neither a child nor an idiot. You would not be threatening her with those things I heard if you had done nothing to her in the past. I am not a fool, so stop treating me like one." Ana argues, that for her to be questioning her mother like this, it must be because she does not trust her. And that there is a great rift between them.“And I am not a criminal, so stop interrogating me as if I am one! I am Mrs. Mazur! I have better things to do than waste my precious time with useless people like this trash here. Even if you all bark the entire day, my response is the same: She is just lying to buy her way into this family again, and you, like the fools that you both are, are falling right into her trap.”This woman is unbelievable! Her boldness stinks!“Can you swear to your children that I am lying, Mrs. Mazur? Swear before your children right now that you are not guilty of these accusations. I dare you!” I speak, and we finally lock eyes after a long moment.

The drive back to my apartment is reticent. There is no sound in this car except silence. Ana has not recovered from the shock of the brainstorm about what kind of monster her mother is. She is far from recouping from that. Anyone can tell. And Ray, this one is a beardown gem, as far as I know. He is all acold, but his demeanor has been clogged by a much more dark ambiance today. He is daunted and hurt by what his mother did. I would love to know what he is thinking right now, but too bad. I don’t have a mental link with him to know that.That aside.So, this witch woman, the devil incarnate, the devil in a saint’s body, thinks I have no way of proofing what she did to me, huh? She had the guts and the audacity to deny doing anything to me, right to my face, and even challenging me. She has some balls acting like a devil and trying to act innocent and victimized. Her boldness as she lied even superseded that of Mahatma Gadhi. Her sinister facial gestures as she dared me merit an emble

“Really? What would have changed, Ray? Because, if I remember correctly, your hands were so tightly tied. You could do nothing but agree to that deal. There was nothing you could have done except let me go for the sake of your family. Was that not what you told me that night?” I nail him, but he does not know what giving up means.He speaks, dragging his miserable gaze toward me. “We are talking about a child, Irma. My child! Do you think I would have let you go knowing you were carrying my child? Do you think I would have sacrificed my child for the sake of that deal?"“But it was so easy to sacrifice me and everything we had. I doubt my child would have moved you a deal.” I snap.“Then you are so wrong. So wrong.” He says this, gawking at me as if I had committed a crime.For crying out loud, can he spare me? “I don’t think so, Ray. You should have shown even just a little consideration for me, even without the child in the picture. For the love that you claimed you had for me. For
Last Updated : 2024-08-12STUBBORN HEARTS - LOVING WRONG SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
“Look, Irma!” Ana starts again when we just remain staring at each other with her brother like strangers. We both look at her. “I know that my brother messed up big times. I know that you may still be hurting. But for your daughter’s sake, leave whatever bitterness you have against him and establish a good relationship with him. Your daughter needs to see that—her mom and daddy at peace.” She states.She has a point. And I know that. And I want that for my child. I do not want her to see us fighting like cats and dogs with her father. For all I know, that kid is blamed for every odd thing about her dad. I want that to stop. I do not want her to point her fingers at me again. And above all, I want her to have peace. I want her to be happy. And the starting point of that happiness is us—the way Ray and I conduct ourselves before her.“Look, Irma.” I turn to Ray as he speaks. “You are right. This is all my fault. I caused all this, and you do not know how much I regret it. I know it is s

I wait and wait and wait. They are not coming out. Why? Did they change their minds? Has he realized that he can’t live up to his promises and my conviction? I open the door again and pop my head inside. They are both lost in their own thoughts. No one is facing the other. I doubt that they are even cognizant of each other’s presence inside this car. Weird! What happened?“What is going on?” I implore, snapping them both from their engrossed thoughts and dragging their attention to me.They both take deep sighs and breathe out at the same time. “I am just worried that my daughter will not want to see my face after I failed her today,” Ray says.Yeah! He has a good reason to worry because, recalling how I left my daughter, he has a lot of explaining to do. I won’t intercede on his behalf. He will carry his own cross.“And I am ashamed of showing my face to that innocent child after learning what my mother did. I think it was a mistake for me to come here. I don’t think I can face her.”

Walking inside the house, Angel runs to her daddy’s arms the moment our noses pop into the house, while Julie remains mouth-ajar after seeing Ana. I shut the door behind me, knowing that her sermons were piling up in her head. I know I will be in for a baking-hot lecture when she decides to break the cold-shoulder strike.“I missed you, daddy.” Ana whimpers while her face is still buried in Ray’s neck.Ray tightens her arms around her in their intimate embrace. He is on his knees to match her height. His eyes are shut, letting the messages for his daughter flow through his system. “I missed you so much, princess.” He says this, kissing her as he pulls her away from the embrace. He cages her tiny arms into his hands, showering her with kisses before speaking again. “Daddy is so sorry, okay? I got caught up in something, but that will never happen again.” He explains—short and straight.“Would you have come, Daddy, if Mom didn’t come for you?” Angel asks softly. It seems like she has cr

I hate chopping onions. It's poison to my eyes, but since it’s the only inevitable ingredient, I take two and peel them off. I then soak them in water. It’s a remedy that works for me always for easy chopping without tearing up.Next?Wait.What are we even cooking?I turn around, only to find this gross Julie was just leaning on the kitchen counter and gawking at me. I thought she was in a hurry to cook something. I thought she should be in a hurry since the guests were waiting outside.Sigh, though! What does she care about them?She doesn’t. It most likely is the reason why she needed me here. Just to let me know how much she hates how I am doing things nowadays.“What are we preparing?” I ask because the stare challenge is waking me up.“I don’t know. I have nothing in mind. Why don’t you tell me?” She says, shrugging her shoulders.Me? “Why me? I thought you had it all planned, which is why you needed my help.” I state as my head goes on a spree to figure out what to make for the

STUBBORN HEARTS - LOVING WRONG HER FATE
“Umh, my dear?” His father calls, and I turn to her, leaving Rey’s eyes scorching my skin. “I think it is time. And forgive me once again, but hold nothing against your friend. She is a good soul. I just needed to get to the root of all this, and I knew she was the only person who had the answers that I sought, aside from you, of course. She means well.”I knew it was. “So, this happens to be the evidence that you have been telling us, Irma? What is this all about? Where did that come from? Why do you have an old check for this huge amount from our company?” Ana asks.Well, I had not anticipated this happening any sooner, but I guess my father-in-law and my friends planned this well. I can’t lie anymore.I turn to Rey after looking at these two women, who look like they are about to pee in their pants. “I am…”“She asked me for the money. She blackmailed me!” Kathering snaps, confusing everyone.Even I am confused by her guts! I blackmailed her. Whith what? Or for what? She is so sham
STUBBORN HEARTS - LOVING WRONG SECRET IS OUT
The three of us once again trade quizzical glances. There is more.“What?” We all trace our heavily pregnant gazes to Katherine as she whimpers, “This joke is the worst of the pains, so what more is there, Mazur?” She asks.A joke? She is still refusing to believe that he is divorcing her, even with the divorcing headline in bold and staring right through her eyes. Not even his serious tone is enough to convince her. Poor woman! I wonder how she does not collapse after the next blow, and I am also eagerly waiting to know what it is.“I have frozen your cards, Katherine. From this moment on, you have nothing. You are barred from coming close to any of my companies because I have erased your name from everything that has my name on it. As for your children, I will leave it to them to decide. I want you to sign these papers and get out of my house.”Mr. Mazur’s words hang in the air like a heavy cloud. Silence has been the only sound for a long time. Fear and quiestions linger in the roo
STUBBORN HEARTS - LOVING WRONG ONE BATTLE WON
“You can’t do that!” Tarah screams, sprining to her feet. “You know that you need us. You need the support of my family for this business. You can’t terminate this agreement. You can’t…”“Your parents and I, young lady,” Mr. Mazur cuts the hysterical parrot off, “have already talked. We agreed that this agreement was a mistake. It is not working. Since this mess has also touched their family because you are in the picture, they agreed to end it in peace and set our children free. We will refund all the investments that your company made in our empire once we do our calculations, and that will be the end of it. For now, all you both need is to sign the papers and go your separate ways.”Hello, to the moon and starts. Here I was thinking that I would be the one to have this bitch divorce my man, but it seems like the stars and the moon were working on my case. Blessed be unto the heavens, and to this man as well. God, please restore his health so that he can witness and be a part of the
STUBBORN HEARTS - LOVING WRONG TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
We all get to Mr. Mazur’s room with fear and curiosity gnawing within the deepest parts of our souls. I know we are all worried. For instance, I have come to love this old man like a father. He adores my child and is excited to welcome the next one that is on the way. He has justified my stay in this house and my love affair with his son with sincere intent. How can I not love him?“Father? We are all here. I thought we had a party next week, which you were preparing for. What is with this sudden meeting?” Ray asks.And I know how much he adores his father. I remember how badly he pleaded with me not to harm his father. Our paths crossed in this second phase, and my hurt was pounding with waves of vengeance and wrath. He was willing to do anything, even to take up his father’s punishment on his behalf. And in the months that I have been in this house again, I know how deeply he cares for him. He and another love him so much. He may be rendered incapable of anything right now, but I se
STUBBORN HEARTS - LOVING WRONG URGENT CALL
Katherine remains mute, but her expressions ooze hurt and pain. It is like this is a bitter pill that she has to swallow.“Next time, don’t you dare go high and mighty on me, Katherine. You don’t want to cross, or else...”“Shut up!” Katherine shuts her up, her voice coming out between gritted teeth. “Don’t say something that you will regret,” she hisses again as they stand before each other like two antagonistic lions.I feel Rey shift beside me, and before I know it, he is standing up, taking me with him as he approaches them. They drop the rage when they sense us. As if we have not been watching the entire show. As if there is anything new with them. I know their secrets. I know they were together in that blackmail attack against me years ago. The person I pity is Rey, because I still have not found the courage to do what she did.I know that he deserves to know. I know that he has all the rights to know what his mother is capable of. I know he needs to know what his mother thought
STUBBORN HEARTS - LOVING WRONG NO PARTY
I join the annoying party, hugging my fury at my claws because I am supposed to be having the best of this moment with Rey and not burning my arse here watching some manner of less arses drink their already inbriated arses off. Why did this b*tch even need us here? All they have been doing ever since we sauntered from the kitchen is just drink and pick on Rey and me. And she—I don’t understand why she had to stay this close to Rey. She annoyingly pressed against him on the left side while I was clinging to him on the right. The poor guy is so unconfortable and lost at the meaning of this whole thing, just as I am. And you, if all she wants is to show off, then I don’t need to succumb so low. I know who it is that matters to Rey. I am serious as fuck about where I stand in his life.I unbandage my hand from him and shift aside from him, an action that causes his to reach for my hand and shift closer, pining himself on me and wrapping his arm around my shoulder. With ease and care, he g
STUBBORN HEARTS - LOVING WRONG NOT THREATENED
She cloaks her anger for a minute, putting on her signature bitchy crown. But today, her act is not working decently. Even through her iciness, you can still pick up the pecks of anger, hurt, and shame. Bingo, Irma Rose! You are serving this diet, which is the recommended diet. Thumbs up! Stuff her more!“Do not be too sure. And, by the way, how did it feel to see me kissing my husband, whom you can’t stop swooning over? I saw how you almost collapsed with utter stupor and hurt. Did your heart break into pieces after witnessing us kissing?” She asks, almost emitting a smirk.Sha! This witch is so cheap at deriving plans. Was that the only way she could come up with to rile me? My! My! She should have asked me for some advice to spice up her rubbishy, unsuccessful plan. She couldn’t even pull off something to equal a kiss. Such a pathetic loser!“I admit I was thunderstruck and hurt at first seeing Rey’s lips on your disgustful ones for a second. But then, reality slapped me—that was a
STUBBORN HEARTS - LOVING WRONG CHALLENGE
After a moment, she clears her throat myriad times, scraping the back of her neck as if she has an itchy skin disease. She is still dreaded in ignominy and bewilderment, and her friends are still looking at her with dismay and shock. She could have prepared them instead of trying to showcase something that isn’t real.“I will just get some glasses. Feel at home and make yourself comfortable on the seats.” She is still battling with her conflicting sentiments.Her friends start dragging their confused bodies to the seats where Rey is perched, while she starts towards me. I was about to get out of her way, but she grabs my hand and drags me inside the kite with her.The door slams shut behind us, the fresh scent of our raw sex with Rey minutes ago slams our nostrils, and we stare at each other like two antagonistic lionesses that we in reality are.I roughly jerk my hand away from this bitch!“What in the devil’s name were you doing in here with my husband?” Tarah screeches after I snat
STUBBORN HEARTS - LOVING WRONG GROSS RECEPTION
“What were you doing in there? Been screaming your name for minutes, hun!” I hear that bitch’s voice as I finish cleaning myself up with the Soviets.Hun? Since when? And what is that annoying cheeselike tone? Trying to play some lovey-dovey games to fool her fucking guests? I reckon she is even clinging to my Rey’s arm or fixing the nothingness on his tee just to show off. Bitch!“Uuuu! Spare us, will you?"Spare us?From what?Silence!There is no voice from that witch, and these parrots of hers are just cheering; only the devil knows what. I detest those shrieking sounds! They are making my ears itch! I fix my hair and walk out feeling so raw and content, and...And dumbstruck!The heartbreaking visual visage of my Rey and Tarah together with their lips pressed so iniquitously against each other impairs my visual sense for a minute.Holly fuck!I slam my back on the closed kitchen door the minute it closes. A tinge of stinking jolts down my spinal tube, almost paralyzing me. My who
