THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 048
It was supposed to be a side and quick hug but Andy couldn't let go. Five years without her feels like a five thousand years to him, seeing her before him doesn't feel surreal at all —it was like a dream and he wished he won't wake up from it."It's really you, right, Lisa?" Andy asked, immediately they disengaged from the hug. His eyes were running all over her as though he was checking her out, well to be sure he wasn't dreaming. "This is the same Lisa I've known to be my Coz, right?"Lisa laughed softly at his naivety. "Have you been seeing my doppelganger behind my back?" She asked, a glint of sarcasm in her voice."Whoa, mom..." Xenia, Lisa's daughter and the female among the twin, squealed in excitement as her eyes shone brightly. "You do have a doppelganger and you didn't tell Klaus and I? That's awesome!"Lisa furrowed her brows, completely taken aback. "Wait, what?" She blurted out, short of words.Xenia jumped happily, still squealing in delight. "I can't wait to meet her, m

Not up to two hours when Alex left for office, he stormed in angrily. He seems very upset and furious with his eyeball radiating with series of questions that needs answers with immediate effect. "Hmm... It seems like the drama has finally began..." Rosy said to herself walking up to her husband. She had a wry smile at the corner of her lips which Alex failed to notice that. "Why did you return so early today, Alex?" Rosy inquired, perhaps, feigning ignorance as though she know nothing about Alex's fury. "It's barely two hours since you left or maybe you forgot something?" "What nonsense are you saying, stop acting like you are innocent, Rosy!" Alex yelled, panting heavily. "You can't fool me with those eyes of yours!" "I don't understand what you are talking about, make me understand and don't pointing accusing fingers unnecessarily. " Rosy said, still feigning ignorance even when she's certain on the reason behind his anger. "Here. Take a look at this..." Alex ordered, stretch

"Why else would I sell so many shares?" she solicited, shrugging her shoulders. Alex could only raise his eyebrows in response. How was he supposed to know the reason? "I sold the shares because I needed the money, plain and simple!"Alex could swear he almost choked on his breath, finding it hard to believe his ears. "What?..." His voice trailed off, his mind still trying to process her explanation. "You sold almost half of The Williams' shares all because you needed money? For what?""Why do you care, Alex?" She uttered impulsively in a blunt tone, her gaze was as hard as steel itself —almost sending chills down Alex's spine. "Why do you care about whatever use I need the money for? You shouldn't be asking when you are the cause of everything!""You decided to do as you wished all of a sudden, and worst still, you don't even care about Vanessa." He countered in a stern voice. "Stop making me look like the bad guy here, Rosy, when all fingers are clearly pointing at you.""Oh, right!

"Stop pretending, Alex. You and I both know what you really want. So, let's not waste time pretending otherwise." She said, her voice firm and insistent. "Don't act like you've never tried this before."Alex had wanted to pretend as though he had no idea of what she's talking about but his face gives him away. How Rosy was able to find out about of all these was still a mystery to him. First, she knew he's been on the lookout for Lisa and now, she managed to find out he was to issue a divorce to her sometime ago?At that moment, Alex was sure there's little or nothing left that she is yet to know about. He should have known better but he let his emotion took the better of him —Rosy wasn't the type to play smart with or hide things from, she has always been a step ahead in everything.If not Rosy, Alex doubt if he'll ever be able to outsmart his mother and stand up against her then; what was the use of it when he was starting to regret all of his past actions afterward? He desperately

Alex had left home so late that morning; likewise his daughter who he dropped off at school. Even without being in the mood to go to work, he was left with no choice to it.Coupled with the state of his company —if the sky world is coming to an end, he still have to go. His part of shares in the company had reduced, and he has to overwork himself to keep his position steady in the company.Alex noticed the tension in the air was very much unpleasing the moment he walked in and he did not like it a bit but he paid less attention to it —his present mood was likely enough to cause another tension in additional to the already existing one.He did say no word as he walked passed the receptionist, finding it hard to respond to her greeting; the receptionist's voice on the other hand wasn't as cheerily as it used to sound. Alex was certain that something was off.Alex retreated his steps, closer to the receptionist. "Where is Jamel?" Alex, who still couldn't pinpoint the reason behind his qu

Alex breathed in as he slowly squeezed his daughter's hand that was in his softly. He tapped on his mother's huge oak door, as usual, ignoring the doorbell and patiently waited on his mother's reply."It's not locked, Alex..." He heard her voice from with in, his face was with that of surprise. She always know he was the one at the door and how she was always able to sound that loud was usually enough reason to baffle him.Alex pushed the oak door instead and walked in slowly like he was trying to watch his steps to prevent him from stumbling. Vanessa wondered why her father had been acting strange but kept mute, on times like this, she felt she needed to give him his privacy. "Ah, Son —you came." She called out to him like she's been expecting his arrival as her almost aging lips broke into a small smile; even though it was a small smile, it was radiant enough to reach her eyes —it reflect how glad she was to see him again.His mother wasn't sitting on her usual favorite seat, this

"What's wrong, son, why aren't you saying anything?" Mrs Williams asked, reading the meaning attached to Alex's silence.The latter let out a heavy sigh that holds nothing but the pain and heartache he's feeling before speaking. "Mother, she left..." He couldn't even bring himself to say more than that."What do you mean by she left?" He heard his mother's sharp voice demanded, she hated it when words are spoken in parables as much as she hated suspense too. "Speak to me in a language I will understand, son!""Rosy left yesterday's evening, I'm not sure if she would ever come back." Alex blurted out in a rush, sighing afterward. "No, I'm sure she's never coming back. She left Vanessa and I for good!""She left, eh?" His mother's voice sounded like she was trying to memorized the words, her tone drawling. "Rosy left the house without hesitation or putting Vanessa into consideration?""Yes..." Alex cited simply in a lazy tone, having no much strength left in him to reply —though there i

The early morning sun peeped from the horizon, after several couple of minutes since dawn, casting its warm yellow hues over the quiet four storey building in downtown States.Lisa's face was clouded with impatience, knowing she has lots on her table in the office as it was a early Monday morning but Xenia, who suddenly find pleasure in picking her meals, seems to be the one holding her back.On most Mondays like this, and coupled with the fact that she had recently built another company under the Dela Cruz groups, Lisa was always reviewing proposal or attending to business meetings, it was always a hectic day to start the week with and she doesn't want to go late. To her, it'll ruin her whole week."Come on, Zen..." She drawled, almost whyning as she realized she'll be late to work which she dreaded the most. "Eat up, little girl else we both will run awfully late —it's Monday morning, running late should be off the plan. Plus, you'll be starting a new school today."Xenia did not re

"There she is..." Jamel whispered but audible enough to Alex's hearing, who only nodded with out a reply as he strode towards Ms. Carter. They both exchanged pleasantries before he had his seat opposite her."It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Carter." Alex said as he sat down. Ms. Carter looked at him with an inscrutable expression, her green eyes glittering."The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Alex." she replied, her voice smooth and calm. "I understand you're the CEO of The Williams cooperation. It's quite an impressive company, I've heard lots about it."Alex smiled slightly but it was enough to brighten the atmosphere. "Thank you, but I'm hardly the only one responsible for its success. I'm lucky to have a great team." He uttered, still maintaining his slight smile. "A great team, and a great leader." Ms. Carter vocalized with a few head nod. With out much further ado, she cleared her throat, deciding to go straight to the point. "I supposed you are yet to find a shareholder yet, or ha

The long ride was slow and as well as a quiet one too. Alex sighed for the umpteenth times, unable to fathom the reason behind his sigh that seems not to be coming to an end — of course, he has many reasons for his continuous sigh, but he could not pinpoint which one of it was gnawing at him.Though his mind and thoughts seems to be in fuzzy, he managed to forced his focus on the wheels —he can't repeat the same mistakes twice and this time, he might not be lucky enough and might lose his life. Alex did not want that to happen to me once again, he dreaded the thought of it. He had almost seen death once —he won't face it this time.He's currently facing a lot but losing his life shouldn't be the thought on his mind. His mother —he had stressed her enough with his continuous and never seems to end escapades lately, should he add more to it? No, right? And his daughter too, what would happen to her if she's left behind? Times like this, Alex wished he could turn the hand of time and go
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 068
When Lisa walked into her office, she was surprised to find that Judas was not there. On a normal day, Judas would be the first one to greet her upon her arrival. But today, he was nowhere to be found. Lisa was confused and concerned, so she decided to call him to find out what was going on.When she pulled out her phone, she quickly dialed Judas's number. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer after two try. She had wanted to dial the number for the third time but shrug it off, and decided to keep her phone.Just when she was about to do as thought, the phone rang, vibrating softly in her grip. She checked the caller — it was Judas. With a deep frown settling on her face, she reluctantly picked the call. "Hey..." Judas hailed dryly from the other end. "Sorry, I screened your call. I was about parking when you called so I couldn't answer the phone." "Where are you?" Lisa questioned instead, ignoring his excuses. "I just entered my office and find it empty — you aren't her

"I know what I'm saying is true, Lisa." Andy insisted, seeing the doubt in Lisa's eyes. "Since you left for Los Angeles and made me the acting chairman, my father has been pressuring me to take over the company." Andy went as far as explaining every little detail to Lisa not leaving one out of it. He went as far as telling her how Xavier left home since he refuse to dance to his tunes and even him going to apologize to his father thinking maybe he had change. Lisa was dumbfounded after listening to all what Andy had said, even though she had expected those cunning men not to back away easily. The one she mostly find hard to believe was Xavier cutting ties with his son over his petty greed but since it's coming out from Andy's mouth, she has no other choice than to believe it. "— I shouldn't be saying this, but I can't let them hurt you. I've watched you grown up and I see how kind and considerate you've been..." Andy muttered slowly in conclusion. "I won't possibly be at peace if I

As Andy stood there, staring at his father, he knew that their relationship was irreparably broken. No matter what he said or did, he would never be able to repair the damage that had been done.The man standing in front of him was not the father he had once known and loved. He was a stranger, a man consumed by greed and ambition. He was lost to him forever.Slowly, he turned and began to walk away. He didn't look back, didn't say another word. He simply left, and never looked back.Andy couldn't help but wondered how his father had turned this way — at this stage, he's beyond repair and no matter the amount of words said could bring back his old self which seems to be lost forever.‘Am I really doing the right thing?’ He asked himself, giving his actions a second thought. ‘Leaving him and walking out of his life the moment he's alone and needed someone by his side, is it really okay to desert him like this?’He's not alone, he has his brother who are always supporting him, no matter

"Whether it's sinful or not doesn't matter to me." Xavier cut his son off, matching his angry tone. "Did you think I wish to remain hidden while that bitch enjoy all the luxury to herself and her illegitimate kids?"Andy would have calmed down a bit but his father was only adding more fuel to his anger. "How dare you, father..." He uttered repulsively, trying to defend Lisa. "Why would you speak such ill words of her and her kids who had done nothing wrong against you?""Nothing wrong, eh?" Xavier muttered with a scoff. "Her existence alone has wronged me greatly. Now that I'm into it already, I won't back down until I see her got ruined completely."Andy shook his head sideways, the look of disgust that was on his his face deepen. "You aren't worth living with, Mr. Xavier. It's a good thing you left me on your own." He said with scoff. "I see why mom left you two decades, taking Stephanie along with her.""You..." Xavier yelled with anger written all over him, pointing his index fing
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 064
Ever since Andy could remember, he has never been anxious as he is at the moment. He wasn't even sure of the best words to say to his father when he see him. It was at that moment it all dawned on him that he has not planned all of these well enough which made him let out a low but tiring sigh.The moment Andy stepped in and as though his father had been expecting him to come, Andy was welcomed by his father's blazing gaze — if only looks were capable of ending one's life, Andy was sure to have dropped death on spot."What is this ungrateful brat doing here?" Xavier's thundered in anger, his voice laced with hatred and he did not hesitate to give his son that same look as well —hatred, anger, frustration and fury! He turned towards his brother's direction. "Fred, why did you allow this boy in?""I think he has something to say to you." Fred muttered, though audibly to Xavier's hearing with a slight shoulder shrug, collapsing on the nearest couch. "Let's listen to what he has to say. H

It was barely past noon when Andy had returned home from work that afternoon, he couldn't come back home the previous day because it was already late in the night when he finished from the theatre room so he took his rest at the hospital instead. Andy sat on his favorite couch with a heavy sigh of relief but his relief did not last more than a few moment, because his relief was swallowed with his gnawing feeling of emptiness. Everything seems empty to him — and he felt as though he's alone in the whole big world. He knew something was amiss somewhere and tried figuring it out. Alas! He figured out that it was the absence of his father. He had missed his father's presence in the house, his nagging and miss seeing his scowling face as well —all of these had made the past five years bearable for him but for the past one week, he has no one else to do all of these to him. Andy couldn't help but blamed himself for the emptiness he was feeling, he was the one who had sent his own biolog

Once they were gone, Lisa let out a sigh of relief. She was glad to have a moment to herself, and she was looking forward to the peace and quiet. Although she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty about sending the kids away but she had things to discuss about with Judas.Judas moved closer and sat down on the seat opposite Lisa's desk. Lisa, as well, sat down in her usual position, her eyes fixed on the man before her. His facial expression says it all, of course he has a lot o say to Lisa and could not wait to be permitted so he could relay his words. "It seems you have something to say, Judas." Lisa finally voiced out after observing Judas for a while. She's not too blind not to have noticed —she knows Judas too well. "What have you come up with this time around?" "Uh, yeah." He nodded his head in agreement, adjusting slightly on his seat. "You can guess..." his voice was drawling and far from usual.Lisa raised her left brow slightly. "Beats me. What are you up to this time, Jude
