Stealing My Husband From His Mistress Chapter 10
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 POV"Alfred, are you sure this is the address?""Yes, Don Enrico. My man confirmed it."Don Enrico let out a deep sigh before getting out of the car. I quickly followed behind him."You don't have to come, Tessa," he said as he continued walking."I'm coming with you," I replied firmly, so he turned to me.I met his gaze, as if telling him that I was sure about what I wanted to do. He sighed before nodding.We entered the large building in Makati City and looked for the unit number given by the Don's man.I could understand if it was one or two days, but more than a week without Darius coming home? I couldn't just let that slide.I almost went crazy thinking about them being together with that Martha for a whole week without him coming home. Every day, it felt like I was being punished while waiting for him. I couldn't even sleep properly because I was thinking about what they were doing.I couldn't take it anymore, so I called Don Enrico. I told him everything and asked him i

Tessa's POVI entered the private office with a sense of urgency but also a great deal of caution. I quickly closed the door behind me, afraid of making any noise."Hello?" I answered the phone with a wide smile. "Don Enrico?""Oh, hija! How are you two? Are you both okay? Is my son... behaving?""Oh, he's doing well, Don Enrico! Senyorito Darius is behaving. Thank you so much," I replied excitedly, my smile widening."That's good to hear.""Yes! For the past two days, Senyorito Darius has been coming home. And he's even eating the food I cook."I tucked a few strands of hair behind my ear. Senyorito has been such a good husband to me. He's no longer grumpy, and I'm sure that Martha is crying her eyes out right now.There's only one problem left. And that's why I called Don Enrico."But I have a favor to ask. I hope you can help me.""Anything, hija. Just ask.""Uhm, Darius has been treating me well now." I bit my lip. "But the thing is... Senyorito Darius and I sleep in separate room

Tessa's POVMy hand trembled so much that I accidentally turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. All their eyes turned to me.I saw Darius stiffen when he saw me. He stood up from his seat at the table.Biting my lip, I walked inside and looked at the faces of his friends, all of them so supportive of him."Tessa," Darius called out my name."And what is this woman doing here?"I turned to the man who spoke. His brow furrowed as he looked at me. "Is that you? Are you the ones who were with Darius at the hacienda? Is it true that you're talking badly about me behind my back? I'm Darius's wife, even if he doesn't love me, you have no right to say anything about me. Are you even human? Why is it so easy for you to insult others? Just because you're rich and I'm just a maid?"They looked at each other and didn't say anything. I guess they didn't expect me to hear their insults about me before."Tessa, enough."I turned to Darius at his words. It felt like a giant hand was twisting m

Tessa's POVI sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly into space. Darius' friends didn't leave right away, and it was getting late, so I had to prepare food for them. I even ended up cooking.I felt like a maid, a servant. I wasn't sure if they came to apologize or to rub it in my face, to remind me of my place. Even though I'm married to Darius, the truth is, I'm still just his maid.I was lost in thought when there was a knock on the door. It opened, and there stood Darius. I was speechless when our eyes met. He doesn't usually come here."Can we talk?" he asked.I looked away. Was he going to scold me for how I acted with his friends? Or for confessing my feelings?Before I could answer, he came closer and stood in front of me."If you're going to scold me, just do it. I'm tired."I heard him sigh. He knelt down in front of me so our eyes were level. I was surprised and looked at him."Tessa, my offer still stands.""Offer? What offer?""To pay you to leave me."It felt like th

Tessa's POVI smiled when I saw Darius walk into the kitchen. My stomach fluttered when he smiled back at me."W-why aren't you dressed? Don't you have work today?"I noticed he was only wearing boxer shorts and a simple white t-shirt.He shrugged and pulled up a chair. "It's Sunday. I don't have work.""Oh, right. It's Sunday."I quickly put the food I cooked on the table. I also poured him a cup of coffee."Hmm, this is good. You're a good coffee maker, huh?""Of course. You know, my coffee was one of Master Daryl's favorites. Back when he was alive."Darius looked up and gave me a soft smile. "Let's eat? I'm hungry."I nodded quickly and served him. I put fried rice on his plate and served him the main dish. I paused when Darius laughed."Tessa, sit down. I can take care of myself."I shook my head. "I should be the one doing this. I'm your wife, right?"I noticed he paused for a moment before smiling. I promised myself I'd be a good wife to him. And I'd do anything to make him lov

Tessa's POVDarius pulled me close and turned me to face him. His eyes seemed to be pleading with me."It's not like that, Tessa. I'm sorry, okay? I just got carried away."I frowned slightly, even though my heart was pounding."Carried away?""I'm just happy.""Happy?" I furrowed my brow slightly. I didn't understand what he meant. "Why are you happy? Did something good happen at work?"He smiled at me and stroked my hair."How about we go out? Let's go for a walk or do some shopping."I gasped with joy at his suggestion. "I'd love that! Finally, I can go out in Manila! I've wanted to do that for so long!""Okay, go get dressed. I'll finish this."I looked at the dishes in the sink. There weren't many, so I agreed."Okay! I'll get dressed, okay?" I was about to leave when I turned back to him. "I need to shower first. Okay?"I ran upstairs quickly. When I got to the room, I grabbed my shower stuff and rushed into the bathroom. After showering, I came out completely naked.Only my hai

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
Stealing My Husband From His Mistress Chapter 24
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
Stealing My Husband From His Mistress Chapter 22
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
