1: Bolt From The Blue

“Mrs. Walton…”Margot Walton lifted her gaze to face the doctor with anticipation in her hazel eyes. She held her breath and waited for the next thing he’d say.“I’m sorry. You have cancer. I’m afraid you only have six months left to live.”The doctor’s voice rang through Margot’s head like an annoying bell that wouldn’t stop. Her breath hitched for a second before her heartbeat became erratic.Margot’s body turned cold and her vision became blurry as she had a quick recollection of her past flashing through her mind. The warm droplets of tears fell on her hands clenched on her lap. It was the last thing she expected after returning to the hospital for her lab test results.“Hold on. Are you saying I’m not pregnant and I only have a few months to live? Are you sure?” The shock was written all over her face. She didn’t expect to die so soon. All along, she thought she was pregnant and the reason why she willingly did the test was to make sure it wasn’t just a false alarm like what happe

2: The Death Knell

Margot clenched her fist while facing her husband and Linda. She felt her head spinning as her blood pressure rose.“Honey, are you alright?” Harry rushed to her side to help her, only for Margot to brush him away.“Don’t touch me,” she mumbled while glowering at him. Margot still couldn’t believe Harry was cheating on her and, of all people, it was with Linda, her stepmother.‘Does he always prefer older women?’ Margot couldn’t help but wonder.“You don’t look good, sweetheart. Are you sure you’re feeling okay? I noticed earlier in the call you didn’t sound fine, too,” Linda muttered. She looked at Margot with concern painted on her face.Contrary to Margot’s usual response, Linda’s kind voice irritated her.“Is that true? You got to tell me if you’re sick, Hon.” Harry attempted to touch his wife to feel her forehead until Margot dropped the glass she was holding.The shattering sound filled the kitchen, leaving everyone dumbfounded and confused except for Margot.“I told you not to

3: Tip of the Iceberg

The room fell into silence after what Margot said. The latter raised her glass with a smile, urging everyone to make a toast.“Here’s for the end of my marriage of three years. Cheers!” she exclaimed and gulped down her wine.“Fantastic,” Margot mumbled as she savored the rich flavor of the beverage with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes again, everyone looked at her with a frown on their faces.“What?” Margot played the game and joined in, wearing an innocent look on her seraphic-like face. “Why so quiet? Let’s eat. The food will get cold,” she added before picking up her fork to try the salad in front of her.“Margot, what are you thinking? This is not a funny joke,” Ryan said, looking solemnly at his daughter.“That’s how I felt when you said you’d marry Linda when I was five,” Margot mumbled. “You married her anyway. Now, guess what I’ll do next.” She turned to her husband and smiled. “I’m going to divorce Harry whether you like it or not,” she continued.“Woah! That’s cool

4: A Fortuity

It wasn’t the first time Margot hailed a taxi. She somehow got used to it in the past whenever Judy invited her to hang out. Two minutes passed, and the taxi stopped in front of an old bar. She paid the driver, thanked him, and got out.“You’re not kidding, indeed! Let’s go inside. The others are waiting!” Judy exclaimed when she saw Margot coming out of the taxi. “And what’s with that outfit? Are you attending a wedding or what?” She commented, looking at her friend with amusement.“Today’s my wedding anniversary with Harry,” Margot said with a bitter smile.“Mmm. Was it marriage problems? How long have you been married again?”Margot inhaled deeply and sighed. “Three years. It will end soon, though,” she replied. “I’m getting a divorce.”Judy didn’t ask anything else after that. She guessed Margot wanted to forget whatever happened, so she offered her drinks instead.“Don’t hold back. It’s not like you’re always drinking. This lot won’t kill you of liver cancer in case you’re worrie

5: Thin End of the Wedge

“Where have you been?” Harry’s deep and cold voice echoed through the walls. He was seated on the couch, waiting for his wife to come home for hours.Margot was quite surprised at her husband’s tone, but said nothing. She headed to the kitchen for a glass of water. Her lips formed a thin line when she felt Harry’s presence behind her back.“Give me a second,” she said before pouring more water into her glass to drink. After quenching her thirst, and soothing her throat with the cold water, Margot walked to the living room with Harry following behind her.She sat on the middle of the sofa, leaned her back, and crossed her legs. “Let’s start, shall we?”Harry’s face turned sour. He didn’t like the way she acted. He was always proud and thankful that his wife listened to his every word, but the woman in front of him was acting differently.“Margot, what is your problem? You have no idea how embarrassed and nervous I was in front of everyone back there. How could you mention divorce in ou

6: Grasping At Straws

“My husband is cheating on me,” Margot blurted out as soon as the doctor had taken his seat in front of her. After knowing about Harry’s illicit affair, she could no longer take it so she decided to book an appointment with the Psychiatrist she met at the bar. Margot was almost relieved when Harry managed to clear her misunderstanding between him and Linda, but to think she was right about him cheating after all took a toll on her emotional health. “I wanted to kill him! Earlier, when making his favorite breakfast, I was thinking of putting a liter of bleach on his food and drink. Then maybe he’d start babbling the truth from his bubbling mouth, no?” she continued, clutching her dress and shaking her legs. “But last night… I also had the urge to strangle him to death. Doctor, do you th

7: False Hope

Margot continued playing as Harry’s good wife. She woke up at dawn to prepare everything her husband needed before going to work. She served him like a housemaid, making sure he got the best treatment. But behind Margot’s faithful act was a broken-hearted wife who was waiting in the dark to strike back. “The breakfast is excellent. We don’t even need to hire a chef to cook for us,” Harry complimented after having his daily delicious breakfast. “I’m glad you enjoyed it,” Margot smiled and wiped her husband’s lips with a napkin. “So, does this mean you’re having dinner with me tonight? You have no idea how lonely I can get when I’m alone in the house, Honey… Especially at night when it’s cold,” she hinted to him while gently rubbing the side of h

8: Starting A Fire

Margot emptied the snot off her nose after crying into her doctor’s chest. She was happy when someone was willing to listen to all her worries without judging her and why she made such decisions in life. But after crying for almost an hour, she suddenly realized that what she had done before her doctor was embarrassing. “I’m sorry… And thank you,” Margot whispered as she pinched her arm. She started developing new habits after she found out about her illness and Harry’s infidelity. Leo noticed them too and couldn’t help but worry about his patient. “Don’t do that, Margot. You’re hurting yourself,” he said, taking out his hanky and wiping the blood off her scratched arm. “And stop biting your fingernails when you’re overthinking. Try doing something else that’s safe. These new habits of yours will only cause you harm,” he added, putting a bandaid on every scratch she had made in her arms. “Something like what? Do you suggest I follow my husband secretly and watch his every move? Then

9: Revenge Is Sweet

Margot was humming as she packed lunch for Harry. She had a good night’s sleep after seeing him finish the dinner she prepared. She couldn’t wait to see him suffer the effects of laxatives she mixed in with his food. “Good morning, hon. What’s that?” Harry kissed her on the cheek while wrapping her arms around her waist from the back. Margot paused and chuckled. She couldn’t contain the excitement she felt while looking forward to Harry’s huge embarrassment once the laxative took effect while he was working in the office. “Did something happen? You look happy,” Harry commented and sat on the table to have his breakfast. He couldn’t help but frown and wonder why Margot kept smiling.

10: Allies And Enemies

“I’m glad you came, sweetheart. I was worried you’d decline my invitation,” Linda said with a sheepish grin. “It’s okay. I was on my way back from Harry’s office, so I thought dropping by wouldn’t hurt,” Margot replied. “Still, I’m so happy to see you again.” Linda clasped her hands together. The heavy layer of makeup on her face didn’t help her hide the exhaustion and stress she felt. Margot noticed it but chose to keep quiet. After assuming that Linda was Harry’s mistress, she couldn’t talk to her like before. Margot also said mean things about Linda and wondered if the latter would understand if she told her what was happening in her marriage. “Are you staying for dinner? You have no idea how much I missed you.”
