2025-01-22 17:32:41Tessa's POV
I wasn't feeling well, and Mamang Olga noticed, so she advised me to just rest in my room. I felt listless as I entered my own room in the maid's quarters. Every maid here had their own room with their own aircon and bathroom.
I slumped onto my bed and, feeling like I was going to cry, grabbed a pillow and hugged it. I wanted to cry because of the mix of pain and resentment. Senyorito Darius was going to marry someone else, that nasty woman!
Why her? I could accept my heartbreak if Senyorito Darius ended up with a good woman, but her? It's infuriating!
I stopped sulking when I saw a small bottle on top of my side table. "What is this? It wasn't here earlier, was it?"
I picked up the bottle and read the small note attached to it. When I understood what it was for, I quickly stood up and ran back to the kitchen.
"Sasa!" I called out to my friend. She immediately left what she was doing and approached me.
"I thought you weren't feeling well? Manang Olga said she let you rest in your room."
I ignored what she said and pulled her to a corner of the kitchen. A place where no one could hear us.
"I have a plan, Sasa."
"Plan? What plan?"
"To stop Senyorito Darius' wedding."
Her eyes widened at what she heard. She looked around to make sure no one could hear us.
"Are you crazy? You're going to stop Senyorito Darius' wedding?"
I nodded resolutely. "I can't let him marry that woman! If you only saw how she looked at me earlier, she's so malicious, Sasa!"
Sasa put her hand on her forehead. "Are you out of your mind? What are you going to do? You might get into trouble!"
"No, if you help me."
Her eyes widened at what she heard. "What? Me? Tessa, I don't want to be involved in that!"
I put my index finger to my lips and glared at her. "Don't be noisy, what are you, a child?"
"Tessa, you might get us into trouble with what you're planning!"
"No! Just follow what I say."
She stared at me for a long time, with uncertainty in her eyes. Finally, she sighed and nodded.
"Fine. Rather than see you suffer for the rest of your life. Besides, I don't like Martha for Senyorito either. She seems like a real snake."
"Thank you, Sasa! You're my best friend!"
We went outside for a moment and went to the laundry room to discuss what to do there.
"What is this? And where did you get it?" she asked curiously, holding the bottle containing the liquid.
"Don't ask. Just put it in Senyorito Darius' drink, and I'll take care of everything!"
She swallowed at my words. She was clearly nervous. "Are you sure about this, Tessa? Won't we get locked up here?"
"No. Just obey."
We went back to the kitchen and got a glass, then filled it with wine. We also added the liquid from the bottle to it.
When Sasa went out, she took the tray of wine from a waiter who was circulating around. She mixed the glass for Senyorito Darius with the glasses there.
I saw how the people with Senyorito Darius at the same table took wine. I also saw how Sasa handed a glass to Senyorito and how he drank from it.
I smiled nervously. I wouldn't let Senyorito Darius end up with someone else. Call me selfish, but I'm willing to do anything to make him mine.

Stealing My Husband From His Mistress Chapter 4
Tessa's POV"Senyorito Darius?"I stopped in my tracks when I saw Senyorito Darius at the entrance of the mansion. He couldn't walk properly and looked like he was about to collapse any minute.I looked around, and when I was sure no one was around, I quickly approached him and helped him up. "Senyorito, what's happening to you? Are you okay?"He answered me with a groan. Even speaking seemed difficult for him. I took his arm and put it on my shoulder. We almost fell because of his weight.Senyorito Darius was heavy and tall. He had a gym-toned body and was probably 6 feet plus tall. I, on the other hand, was only 5'5. I was only up to his armpits.We started walking. As we passed the stairs, I looked around again to make sure no one saw us. The other maids were busy in the kitchen, while the others were outside helping with the party.We went straight to the maid's quarters—to my room. When we entered my room, I carefully laid him down on the bed, but because of his weight, we both f

Darius' POVI was stopped from getting up by a sudden headache. I sat up on the edge of the bed and instinctively clutched my head with my hand."Fuck this hangover."How much did I drink last night that I just passed out? I couldn't even remember what happened. I grabbed the side table and was about to stand up when I noticed I wasn't alone in the bed.I glanced around my surroundings. My eyes widened as I stared at the woman beside me. "Shit!"I couldn't help but swear. It's Tessa, our maid's niece. She was lying on the bed, fast asleep."What the fuck happened?"Like me, she was also naked. And now I could clearly see her beautiful and smooth body exposed to me.Damn it! Why is this woman in my room? I suddenly froze when I noticed my surroundings. Oh, shit. I'm not in my room, and I think I'm in her room!"Oh, fuck!" I groaned when I noticed the red stain on the bed. "She's a fucking virgin!"I was about to stand up but I suddenly froze when I noticed something slowly waking up an

Tessa's POVI could see the disappointment on Mamang Olga's face. She didn't say anything, nor did she scold or advise me on what I should do. She remained silent as she took care of my clothes."I'll bring these clothes to your room upstairs. Don Enrico doesn't want you sleeping in the maid's quarter anymore.""Mamang... "I stood up to approach her but she avoided me and left the room without a word. I sadly went back to my bed and sat on the edge.I can't say that I'm truly sad about what's happening because this is what I've dreamed of since then. But maybe I'm feeling guilty. After Mamang Olga trusted me, this is how I repay her.I heard the door open and close again. I thought it was Mamang Olga so I quickly stood up and faced it, but I froze when I saw who came in."Miss Martha, what are you doing here?"She looked at me for a long time, as if she was memorizing every feature of my face. I raised my brow. If she's here to fight me, well, I won't let her bully me.I was ready fo

Tessa's POVI don't know if I should be happy that I finally married Senorito Darius, the man I've always dreamed of, or if I should be sad because of the things he said to me earlier.He wasn't done hurting me. Now, at the reception, he doesn't even want to be with me. I watch him talking to other people, while I sit alone at our table.I just keep swallowing and avoiding everyone's stares. I can't even look at them because I see pity and mockery in their eyes. They feel sorry for me, and they're laughing at me.Martha was making a scene. Because of her, I ended up looking like the bad guy. I clenched my fists in anger.Nobody knows the real story, but everyone knows Martha is Senorito Darius's girlfriend, the one he was supposed to marry. He only married me because something happened between us.I can't even enjoy our wedding day. Don Enrico is so generous. He spent a fortune on our wedding, so it's a grand affair. There are beautiful decorations everywhere, tons of flowers, and a f

Tessa's POVI stood there by the mansion door for a long time after hearing those words. My knees felt weak. I wanted to collapse on the floor and cry, but I didn't."I wanted this. Why would I cry?"I took a deep breath and climbed the stairs. I didn't go back to the reception because I knew the guests would just make fun of me. I went straight to Senorito Darius's room, but I stopped short when I saw who was inside.It was Martha, sitting on the edge of Senorito Darius's bed, looking pale. Her eyes were red, like she'd been crying. When she saw me, her expression changed quickly."What are you doing here?"My head started to boil. Senorito Darius's friends were making fun of me, and the guests were laughing at me. I wouldn't let her insult me too."That's what I should be asking you. What are you doing in my husband's room?""Your husband?" She stood up.I smiled and showed her my ring. "We're married, Martha. Stop chasing him."A mix of pain and anger filled her eyes as she looked

Tessa's POVI jolted awake at the sound of a rapid knocking on my door. I scrambled out of bed and groggily checked the clock on my nightstand.12:51 AM."Open this door! Damn it!"I gasped as I recognized Darius's angry voice. I rushed to the door and flung it open."M-Mister Darius?"There he stood, my husband, who I couldn't even call mine. His hair was disheveled, three buttons were undone at the top of his shirt, his tie was loose, and his face was flushed red."Are you drunk?"I winced as he shoved me away from him."Get out of my way! Why are you in this room? Get out of here!"I watched him, my lips trembling, as he collapsed onto the bed."But Mister, this is my room. Your room is across the hall."He didn't answer. Soon, I heard faint snores.I sighed and approached the bed. I studied his face for a moment.It had been a week since we arrived here. A week, and he was still colder than ice towards me.We were in the same house, but we barely saw each other. He made a point of

Tessa's POVIt was already morning, but I was still awake. I couldn't sleep after what happened last night. Every word Darius said felt like a knife in my back.It hurt so much. His words were more painful than any real wound. They were sharper, deeper.As the sun came up, I took a deep breath and went to take a shower. After that, I went downstairs to the kitchen and started cooking.I wouldn't give up that easily. Was I crazy? After all the trouble I went through to get him, would I just give up over something so small? The more he pushed me away, the more I would cling to him.While I was cooking, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I smiled, thinking about Darius.I turned around with a smile when I heard him enter the kitchen. "You're awake."He just looked at me with a serious expression. Even though it felt like he could eat me alive the way he was staring, I was still happy. My heart raced every time our eyes met.That's how much I loved him... that's how much of a marty

Martha's POV"Tessa, huh? That's the name of that bitch? Don't tell me, you just let some other woman steal your man?"I shook my head vigorously, pacing back and forth in front of Ate Dahlia. We were in her spacious living room."Of course, not. I tried to stop Darius, and I even talked to that woman but she didn't listen, Ate. I begged her.""My God!" She stood up and came closer to me. Now she's standing right in front of me, disappointed. "You did what? I swear, if our parents were alive, you'd be in trouble with them. We don't beg, Martha!""What else could I do? I didn't want Darius to end up with her, so I did that!"I quickly wiped away a tear that had escaped from my eye. I was still angry that Darius couldn't say no to his father. He chose to obey him instead of me."Parents are tough opponents, Ate. Darius doesn't want to disobey Tito Enrico.""Well then he doesn't have any guts! How could he do this to you? It's embarrassing! And you, you just let it happen, and now you're

Tessa's POVIt was late, but I was still awake, sitting pretty in the middle of the bed. I wasn't sleeping because I knew Darius was going to come into my room.That salon where my friend works is something else. They really made me look good, even I can't believe it. My eyebrows, eyelashes, hair, my whole face. It was worth every penny I spent."If it's just about beauty, Martha has nothing to brag about anymore. We're even! Maybe I'm even a little prettier than her after a good shower."I gasped when I heard the doorknob turn. I quickly fixed my hair and sat up straight."Tessa." Darius stopped in his tracks when his eyes landed on me.I had planned for this night. I bought some alluring sleepwear. I just forgot what it's called. My friend told me. Was it lingerie?"I've been waiting for you," I said, my voice soft and sweet.He swallowed hard, standing in front of the closed door. He was staring at me like I was a delicious meal."Are you just going to stand there?" I batted my eye

Tessa's POVI heard several knocks on the door, but I didn't answer. I rolled my eyes as I stared out the window. A moment later, the door opened and Darius walked in."You didn't come down for breakfast. Are you not feeling well?"I still didn't answer, so he came over and sat beside me.He touched my forehead, checking for a fever."Are you mad?""You slept in her room," I said, pouting.He leaned closer and ruffled my hair like I was a child. "This little one is mad again. I didn't mean to. I just dozed off waiting for her to fall asleep. Don't be upset."I didn't answer and just turned away. He was making excuses again. How could he call that a nap? He woke up in the morning!"Alright, I have to go to work. Don't be mad, okay?"I bit my lip, trying to hold back my annoyance. Why couldn't that Martha just have a nightmare or something? It's so frustrating."What do you want me to bring you?"I glared at him. "Anything?""Yeah, anything, I'll buy it. Just tell me."I took a deep bre

Tessa's POV"Sir, Ma'am Martha refuses to come down. She says she's not hungry. She wouldn't even open the door for me," the maid said.Darius sighed deeply after hearing this. "Is that so? Okay, Manang. Let's leave her be for now.""I'll get back to my work, Sir."Manang was about to leave when I called her to join me for dinner. But she thanked me and said she had already eaten.When we were alone, I stared intently at Darius. The worry was evident on his face. Ever since Martha found out I was pregnant, she's been holed up in her room. All she does is cry. She's such a drama queen.Days have passed, and she's still locked in there. Darius feels guilty and worried. So whenever Martha whimpers or cries, Darius rushes to her side.Well, he won't get away with this. If she's going to act like a spoiled child, I'll play along. She wants to get my husband's attention by faking illness? I can do that too! I can act too!Seeing Darius about to head to Martha's room, I pretended to feel diz

Tessa's POVThe excitement I felt when I told Darius about my pregnancy quickly vanished when I noticed he was silent.Instead of being happy and focusing on me, he turned to Martha, whose face suddenly lost all color."It's always Martha, Martha."I wiped away a tear that rolled down my cheek. I was trying hard not to cry because I didn't want to stress. It's bad for the baby in my tummy. But I couldn't help it, I was feeling hurt."Will even our child have to adjust? Shouldn't he be happy? That's what you're supposed to feel when you find out your wife is pregnant."I was still upset, so I didn't leave the room even when the maid called me for dinner. That maid, too. Now that Martha is here, she's hired a maid. Whereas before, I did all the chores.I grabbed my pillow and hugged it, leaning back against the headboard. I couldn't sleep, I was thinking about what to do. I thought Darius would be happy and his attention would be on me when he found out I was pregnant. Nothing's changed

Darius' POVAfter working for hours, I decided to call it quits and went home at noon. I couldn't focus anyway, with everything Severino told me swirling in my head. Plus, Tessa was adding to the chaos in my mind."Darius? Darling, you're home!"Martha's bright face greeted me as I entered the house. I smiled as she hugged me.I looked around. Usually, Tessa would be waiting for me when I got home. The moment she heard my car, she'd be running to greet me. But why wasn't she here?"Why are you home so early? Are you having lunch here?"I looked at Martha's smiling face. "I told my secretary I'm taking half a day off.""Really? Because of me? I told you, I'm fine. But it's good that you're here. Lunch is almost ready. We'll eat together, okay?"I wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying, my mind was preoccupied with whether Tessa was home or not. Damn it, did she run away?"Martha, is Tessa back yet?"The bright smile on Martha's face slowly faded, replaced by sadness. "I

Tessa's POVI fell asleep early in the morning, so I woke up late. I'm so annoyed! I'm sure Darius and Martha are together! I quickly showered and got dressed before running down the stairs.When I got to the kitchen, I found Darius and Martha happily having breakfast. They were laughing as they shared a meal."Oh, you're awake," Martha said with a smile, making Darius look at me. "Come, join us.""Tessa." Darius stood up and pulled out a chair for me. He stared at my face, as if reading my mind. "Let's eat."I almost saw red, especially because of Martha's behavior. The nerve of this woman, offering me a seat like I'm the mistress and she's the wife. She seems to have forgotten who she's talking to.When Darius sat back down and continued talking to Martha, I cleared my throat to get their attention again."No, you two go ahead," I said coldly, making Darius stop. "Looks like I'm interrupting.""Tessa."I was about to leave when Darius called my name. I heard his footsteps approachin

Tessa's POVI stood outside Darius's room for a long time, waiting for him to come out. I could hear every word that woman was saying. Her requests, her flirty comments, and her seductive tone - it was like she was talking to a stranger, not a married man.That Martha is using her pregnancy to steal Darius away from me!Finally, the door opened and Darius came out. He was startled when he saw me. I didn't say anything, but I knew my expression was enough to let him know I was angry.He quickly closed the door behind him and took a deep breath. "Tessa...""You can't stay in the same room! I don't want it! I won't allow it!""Shhh." He took my hand. He squeezed it, as if telling me to calm down and not raise my voice because his girlfriend could hear us inside."You belong with me, Darius! Sleep in my room!"I don't care who he loves, me or his mistress, but we're married and he agreed to try, so no other woman can take him from me!He took a deep breath and slowly nodded. "I was going

Tessa's POVDarius left and went into his room to get things ready for Martha. I was left standing there, my chest burning with anger at that awful mistress of his."He's going to let that woman sleep in his room, while I'm stuck in the guest room?"I was so angry that I rushed to the door and went outside. I searched the whole house for Martha. I found her in the living room, sitting on the big sofa, looking completely relaxed as she sipped her juice.My nostrils flared as I approached her and deliberately knocked her hand away. The juice she was drinking spilled all over her clothes."My God!" she exclaimed, jumping up.She glared at me, and I met her gaze. She couldn't intimidate me. I've been through a lot!"What's your problem?" she asked, as if she were confused about why I did that to her.She's so brazen! She acts like she hasn't done anything wrong! It's infuriating!"I thought you were rich? Why do you seem so clueless? Can't you see what's happening? Do you have to ask like

Tessa's POVI've been pacing back and forth in front of the door for hours. I'm waiting for Darius to come home, but he's still not here.I already cooked lunch earlier, and now it's dinner time, but he still hasn't returned."He's been gone all day. Why isn't he back yet? What kind of emergency happened? This is so frustrating!"As night fell and he was still not here, I went into the kitchen to reheat the food."What a waste, it's cold now. It would be better if it was freshly cooked."While reheating the food, I kept peeking out the window. I'm worried that Darius might not come home."Is he really that busy at the office that he can't leave even for a little while? He should at least come home for a bit to tell me, so I wouldn't be worrying like this!"I'm so annoyed because I feel like Martha has something to do with this. They just met, and now things have changed."Darius and I are okay. We actually already...you know. But he just saw that woman, and now this is happening."I t
