87 The Trip
"I won’t let anyone hurt you, I promise that to you before, right?” Did he really say that? Does he care for me that much?
"Why are you speechless? It's natural for me to protect you since I'm your husband. Do you think you can hide something from me?" He asked, still smiling.
"How did you know about it?"
"From your security guards."
"But they promised they won't tell anyone about it."
"Haha! I was the one who hired them, and I am also the one paying them. Who do you think their loyalty goes to?"
I feel embarrassed. I felt guilty for the past days knowing that I'm hiding something from him. It turns out he knows everything that I did, all the places I and Nancy have been to.
"Are you mad?"
"Of course not. Why would I be? I was actually touched.
"Haha! I don't know how your ex-husband treated you and how

Japan?!" I shouted as I heard the word. It is now the last month of the year which means it is now winter in Japan. The clothes I brought for me and Athena are for swimming and staying in warm areas. How can we stand the cold? Nancy and mom also looked so surprised when Colin finally revealed our destination. Like me, I'm sure they also never expected that we will go overseas."Yes, Japan. Have you visited Tokyo before?" Colin asked."No. I never had any experiences going out of the country. The problem is it is winter there now. We don't have any winter clothes." I explained."We will buy. That is not a problem. We will drop by duty free stores later to buy everything we need for our trip. We need coats, warmers, boots and gloves. If you need other things like cosmetics to make your skin is hydrated, you just pick them up and I'll take care of the payment." He then took Athena and carried her in his arms. "Do you like to go to Disneyland? We can see Micky Mouse
The Love I Have Hoped For 89 The Past and the Present
"This is owned by me and my husband." The statement keeps resounding in my head. I am the wife and Colin is my husband.There was a long silence in the living room. No one spoke a word. It seems like she is checking on me which is what I'm also doing to her. I know I saw this woman somewhere, but I can't remember who she is."This unit belongs to my husband, Colin Andrews, and since I'm his wife, so technically, this is also mine." She explains.Now I remember. She is Lara Matthews, Colin's ex-wife, but as far as I know, they already got divorced."Let me call him so the two of you can talk." I got my phone and dialed Colin's number. He picked the call up as soon as it rang. "Hello. (pause) Your wife is here. (pause.) No, not me, your first wife. (pause) I don't know. Why don't you ask her? (pause) I'm not mad. Let's talk later. Can you come home now?" (pause) Okay, we will wait." End of call."You are his wife? So, he got married again! And he bro
The Love I Have Hoped For 90 The Business Gala
We went back to our apartment unit after leaving Lara behind. I am in cloud nine. I couldn't believe what I have heard. Colin accepts everything about me, and he is never scared to defend me in front of other people, not even to his ex-wife whom he used to love so much. I feel sorry for Lara. She lost a great man just because she thought another man can make her happier. We were both quiet inside the elevator. He never let go of my hand which I find very sweet.That night, everything went back to normal. No one talked about Lara. Even Colin looks unaffected by what happened. Sometimes, I still feel worried whether I should fully trust him or not. I guess this is the effect of having a bad relationship in the past.That week, the news about the upcoming Business Gala became a hot issue. Everyone seems to be excited with the event since all big names, not only in business field but also in entertainment industry normally attend this gathering. This is also where some rum
The Love I Have Hoped For 91 The Award
I can't believe with my reflection on the mirror. The people around me were all smiles, admiring how I turned out. The long dress fitted my body well. It is a simple long black dress that shows my curves. I never thought I am this slim. The dress makes me look taller than usual and it outlines my figure in a sexy way. The dress is matched with black stilettos which I have used for the past days in practicing how to walk. My hair was beautifully braided and was neatly arranged. My makeup gave me a natural but fresh look. I was helped by Nancy and the makeup artist to choose what accessory would complement my look. They chose a small cut diamond earring. They told me not to wear any necklace since people have to focus on my looks and not the accessories I'm wearing. They also chose a small clutch bag where I can put my phone and lipstick just in case I need to apply more later.Colin then entered the room, already dressed. He is wearing a black suit with a grey vest inside. "Yo
The Love I Have Hoped For 92 My Worries
Murmurs can be heard in the hall. Geoff stood still on the stage, probably thinking whether he should stay where he is now or follow Erica to comfort her. In this situation, I should feel happy and proud because I am gradually having my revenge, but why do I have the feeling that the people present in the hall are looking at me like a villain?Holding Colin's hand in one hand while holding the trophy on the other hand, I couldn't help but to look down. I have to avoid stares of those people seated on their seats. Colin still looks so relaxed. I'm not sure whether he could sense the judging eyes glaring at us.A little later, Geoff decided to get off the stage as well. I guess he couldn't stand to be in the same place with me. After he left, all the awardees with their partners took pictures. I had to force a smile not to look awkward in photos.As we get back to our seats, some reporters approached Colin."Mr. Andrews, can we have a short interview? We ju
The Love I Have Hoped For 93 The Turn of Events

They were married for three years and after not being able to have a child, decided to have a divorce. Mr. Park then met his schoolmate Jessica Myers whom he married after a month.

This plan was then found out by Ms. Myers and came to hiding with her daughter, scared that she and her child will be separated. As of this writing, we a
The Love I Have Hoped For 94 The Interview
Our family spent the next days happily. I was never once worried about what Geoff and Erica might do to me nor my daughter.
