JANICE had a jump when someone knocked on the door. Her father sounded angry.
"Open this door, now!" Alfonso ordered his daughter when she did not respond to his knock.
"Dad, can you leave me alone for a while?" Janice requested her father and she was afraid of the questions he might ask.
"Honey, don't add to your daughter's resentment. Let her take a rest." Margaret pleaded and she was also nervous with the anger on her husband's face.
"Don't intrude, go back into our room!" Alfonso's voice was high as he pointed to the other room.
It was the first time that Margaret saw that kind of anger on her husband's face and she could not do anything but obey him. She did not want to taste the scourge of his wrath.
Even though she was scared, Janice could only open the door. She immediately stepped backward after she opened the door and saw her father's angry face.
"How can you do this to your sister?" His voice was weak, but the way he said i
"HONEY?" Margaret was startled by her husband, who suddenly and violently opened their room's door. She also felt afraid of the visible anger on his face."Pak!"A strong slap landed on Margaret's face that surprised her. She touched her right cheek that was hurt whilst her eyes widened in shock. She looked at her husband in disbelief because he hurt her that easily."How dare you!" She yelled at Alfonso. She was about to fight him back when he gave her a slap again, this time, on the left cheek."What's wrong with you?" She shouted, almost like a cry, as she touched both of her cheeks with both hands. She was almost deafened by the impact of his slap."What's wrong with me, huh?" Alfonso abruptly gripped his wife's hair and pulled it to lift her face up. He was completely eaten by anger and he hurt her mercilessly."Who is Philip in your life?!" Alfonso's voice echoed in the four corners of their room. His voice can be heard even outside of
"I NEED to make a way!" Margaret uttered and glared at the front of the car.Janice glanced at her mother as she drives the car. She has been cursing in anger. She still does not know why her father became very mad at her."That girl really is evil! I know she's the one who paid someone to watch my moves!" Margaret gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. That day when she went out to meet up with her friends, she was with Philip. She never thought that someone was following them and they were followed even inside the hotel."What did Nica do and Dad seemed to hate you very much?""She paid a person to follow my moves. That Philip is also irritating, he can't be stopped from his bad habits!"Janice's forehead furrowed and she slightly slowed down the car. She did not get why her cousin was suddenly involved. The truth is, she does not know how Philip became her cousin. When her mother introduced the young man, they believed it. According to her mo
"Aunt, please, don't show yourself to Nica yet," Chris asked the woman. He was thankful that his wife was still inside and he saw her first."I'm the wife and she's just the daughter, so I have more right than her to be by Alfonso's side!" Margaret insisted on going inside Alfonso's room. She has to see her husband's condition so that she can think of a plan against Nica."Wife?"Chris and Margaret stopped arguing when Nica spoke in the doorway. Her eyes were swollen from crying, but there was a fire of anger in there as she looks at Margaret."You call yourself my father's wife?" She asked her stepmother sarcastically and closed the door where she came from.Margaret's tongue backed out and she could not answer Nica. She is seeing a different Nica and she looks like she would not lose to her this time."When you became a sugar mommy of that bastard Philip, did you think that you have a husband?" Nica continued taking out her contempt for he
"WHERE'S my mom?" Chris asked the nurse who was in the room when he came back. His father was still out and he was talking to someone. "I passed by her outside and she was with the woman your wife had a fight with, Sir." The nurse answered the young man. Chris quickly went out of the room to find his mother. He knew the nurse was referring to Margaret and he is worried. He followed the direction where the person he asked last saw them. "Luisa, I already warned you in the first place not to be tricked by that pretentious girl! She's good at acting to get the heart of the people she wants to take away from our life." Margaret said sadly and she secretly smiled when she saw the angry reaction of her friend as she looks at the photo in her hand. "If this is true, why did Chris let this happen?" Luisa asked confusedly. What she knew is that, it was Margaret who had an affair and not Nica. "Believe me, Luisa, you know me. With my age, can I still ha
After a week from recovery, Alfonso was released from the hospital. His body has weakened, but he could still speak properly. He lets Nica and her husband make the decision for the company. He know when he woke up th
