94 The Interview
Last Updated:
2020-10-31 04:32:56Our family spent the next days happily. I was never once worried about what Geoff and Erica might do to me nor my daughter. Now that they know that I am Colin’s wife, I’m sure they have to think hard on how they can have their revenge. Revenge? It should be me who’s doing that and not the other way around. They have made me suffer so much. I actually didn’t do anything that can harm them yet. But in my situation now, I don’t think I need to do more things. I know that being married to Colin Andrews, CEO of JBC Entertainment is enough revenge for them.
Athena is growing so fast. She can now speak clearly and can pronounce all the sounds including “r”. Colin’s adoption with her has also now started and according to Colin, everything is happening is smoothly, but we are still expecting that Geoff would do something to prevent it.
Nancy’s books are now becoming famous online. I haven’t read any of her works since

I can’t believe with what I have just heard. I knew he was a liar a long time ago, but I never knew he would step this low just to save his reputation an destroy mine. If there are people who knew exactly what happened in the past, that would definitely be the two of us. What he said in the interview are all but lies!“What do you plan to do now?” Nancy asked.I don’t know how to answer her question. I’m so furious now that I can’t think properly. I want to shout at Geoff and tell the world how I suffered a lot when I was with him. I want to tell everyone how he miserable my life was being scared at someone who was supposed to take care of me.“You can cry if you want to. You don’t need to pretend you’re okay when we all know that you are not.” Nancy continued.“I have already cried too many times because of him. I won’t let him do that again.”“So, what is our plan

Time past by quickly and the news about me is not that frequent anymore. although there are still some articles about Geoff, but it seems that not so many people are interested in it. Thanks to social media, new interesting topics come out from time to time that people forget about previous issues easily. I guess it also helped that we kept quiet despite all the lies Geoff said about me. Colin also didn’t engage in any interview although some reporters tried to ask him. He always says that the truth would come out eventually, so we don’t need to bother explaining our side of the story, and he is right.Geoff and Ericka are now more open with their relationship. They were seen in many events looking so sweet and holding hands most of the time. Now that everyone knows that Geoff is now a free man, he can date anyone he wants without being criticized by other people. Ericka seems to be enjoying the fame that she is getting. She was already famous before as an heir of

Who would have thought that a perfect night such as this will be ruined with the presence of the two most hideous people I know. It’s my first time to be in this restaurant and the place already made me feel comfortable and excited just seeing the interior from the lobby, but having these two people in here ruins all my expectation about this date. “Should we just look for another restaurant? I just want to have some pizza and pasta tonight.” I suggested to my husband. He can sense how worried I am and how uncomfortable this will be for the both of us. Just a simple smile from him makes me feel that I am understood and I don’t need to worry about anything. “It’s difficult to make a reservation in this place and food here is one of my favorites. I want you to try everything that I like. You trust me, right?” He replied with a reassuring smile on his face. This is not the response I was expecting from him. I expected he would tell me that he understands what I feel and we will leave t

98“You did a good job in there. You should know how to defend yourself all the time, especially when you know you are right. I’m proud of you. I think you’re ready now.” Colin said.“Ready for what?” I asked.“Ready for what?” I asked again. I cannot guess what Colin is thinking right now. I also never thought he has other plans for the two of us, especially for me. Having him in my life has always been enough for me now. I was staring at him with so many questions in my mind.“Haven’t you wished of working again?” He finally spoke.“What kind of work are you talking about?”“Working. Making your own money. Any kind of work. I’m not saying this because I want you to work. What I’m saying is, I don’t want to stop you from improving yourself. I have the money to support you, Athena and mom but I don’t want you to feel you are locked up at home. I want to train you. I think you can be a good leader or a businesswoman if you just want to.”Listening to his explanation makes me feel a bit

Monday came. and true to Colin's words, I am scheduled to visit the company where I will work as an intern. I asked Colin to give me an entry job instead, a secretary perhaps or an assistant to one of the editors, but he refused. This almost led us to an argument."I am not called as a CEO for nothing. That is my company and I can assign anyone there. I could make you a manager in an instant if I want to." "I know you're the owner of the company, but you have to hire people based on their experiences. I could attend a short course on business and publications first, then I could go there as an intern""Practical experience is much more important in learning. You have this valuable chance of gaining that experience by working directly to the company. I already told the supervisor about your situation. Please don't be stubborn and just do what I say.""But..""Stop with those buts. It will lead to nowhere. I know you are worried about what people would say about you, or you might give

It feels surreal to be working again. I keep praying that nothing bad will happen today, that my coworkers will like me, that they would not ask me about my personal life. My life has been an open book to everyone. I was once a suspect of kidnapping my own daughter. Many people thought I was a gold digger, until I finally had a chance to change my fate. This is now part of that chance to totally redeem myself and be freed from the shadows of being an ex-wife of Geoff and now the wife of Colin. Both guys are powerful businessmen, but I want to be known for my skills and not a woman who are part of those men's lives.I was greeted by the security personnel as I entered the building. "Good morning, Mrs. Andrews." They said while bowing."Good morning." I greeted them back. This is one thing I wanted to avoid. The main reason why I don't want Colin to drive me to the office. Although I'm sure some of the employees here know who I am, but at least they don't really know how I look like in

This is not what I had in mind. Of course I was expecting that it would be difficult, but not as difficult as this. Everyone seems not to like me. I wasn't expecting they would welcome me with open arms, but at least they should be nice to me. This is one of the days I hope I am like other women who could stand up for themselves. If Nancy is here, I'm sure everything will be different. She will push me to ask more questions to others. She will tell me what I have to do. Should I ask Colin to give Nancy an internship position here as well? But maybe Nancy wouldn't like the idea. She is doing fine with her writing work. She doesn't need work that would require her to be in the office the whole day. Why am I so timid?I got out of the cubicle after 5 minutes or so. I didn't want to leave this place. I could stay here until 5PM and I'm sure no one would notice, or if they do notice, they would be happy and wish I never come back. Good thing no one came inside the restroom. In dramas, rest

The office is now empty. It's lunchtime, so I guess everyone headed for the cafeteria which according to Nica is on the second floor. I don't even know the offices on each floor. In normal company settings, orientation is given to new employees, something that I was not given. I was hesitant to go to the cafeteria. I don't have anyone to eat there. I'm sure many eyes would be looking at me if I eat there alone, so I decided to just stay in the office and enjoy the quietness. I was searching something online when my phone rang. It's Colin."Where are you? I was waiting for you in the cafeteria. Aren't you going to have your lunch?" He asked even before I could say hello."I'm not hungry. Besides, I'm quite busy. I need to do something." I lied."What did you ask her to do? Why are you giving her so much work?" I could hear him talking to someone."She's just too hardworking like you. I told her to just get used to the place, but she insisted on getting on some tasks. Sorry. I will tell

After almost a month, Geoff finally decided to introduce himself to Athena. I have been preparing her ever since because I know that someday, she would meet her real dad. Colin supported my decision of introducing her to Geoff. They have talked a couple of times about it. Geoff has invited him to have drinks and Colin never said anything bad about him during their meetings."He's a respectable man. He's too different from how I saw him in the past months. You know I had this image of him as a bad husband because of your story, but I think he's just manipulated. He was furious thinking that the woman she loved betrayed him." He said once before we went to bed."He was nice. I guess love can really make us a monster once we got hurt.""But I think I'm the one who benefited in what happened to the two of you. If Ericka didn't say nasty things about you, maybe you and Geoff are still together until now. Then, I wouldn't meet you in Marshville. I wouldn't be your second husband. So, I shou
The Love I Have Hoped For 114 The reunion
I felt very light and dizzy. I didn't know what was happening. Everything around me was turning. I could see Ericka's back while she slowly disappeared from my view. Ericka was just here on the rooftop a while ago. She was here mocking and insulting me. I could hear her voice clearly. She was just here."Aaah!" I shouted as I got up. I was dreaming. It was all a dream. I woke up in a familiar room. It's the master's bedroom in Colin's apartment, it's our room.Colin rushed inside the room when he heard me screaming. He hugged me immediately and patted me in the back. "You're here now. You're safe.""Where's Ericka?!" I asked, panicking. "She's dead. She jumped from the rooftop in one of Geoff's hotels.""Where's Geoff?""He called me and asked me to pick you up. He said you lost consciousness. He told me about what happened to you the other night. You should've told me about your plan.""Sorry. Geoff asked me to stay with him. I thought it was best if I followed what he said.""I und

"Eat!" He said with a smile. He put some food on the plate in front of me."What are you planning? Please, I just want to go home. Ericka is the last person I want to see tonight." I couldn't help but feel scared. She is the person I trust the least and her presence means trouble. She has never liked me and the feeling is mutual. The best thing to do to have a peaceful life is avoid her."I won't let her hurt you. Don't worry.""I really don't wanna see her.""Why would you be scared? If you're telling the truth, then there's no reason for you to be afraid of her. Unless you don't want me to know that you are lying.""I never lied to you. Her mere existence reminds me of all the bad experiences I had after marrying you. I don't want to go back to that time again.""Just eat. The food is getting cold." He turned the video on his laptop. It's an English romance movie. I can't focus well on either eating or watching the movie. All I could think of is meeting Ericka and the trouble she co
The Love I Have Hoped For 112 The Night With The Ex
There were many messages and missed calls on my phone. Most of them were from Colin and some from my mom. I was hesitant at first to call Colin and tell him I wouldn't be home for another night. Actually, all I want now is to be home and hug Athena. I felt so sorry for growing up without a father, but now that I heard Geoff's side of the story, I felt happy that he wasn't that bad of a father after all. I can't say that he wasn't to be blamed for what happened to us though. I didn't want to stay here for another night with Geoff. I can't fully trust him, but I don't have a choice. I need to be nice to him and get his trust, so I would be sure that I could get out of here alive. Ericka is a smart woman, maybe she is part of Geoff's plan of bringing me here. I still need to be careful with what I say and do.With hesitation, I dialled Colin's number. "Hello! My God, Jez where are you?" He answered the phone right away. I didn't even hear the ringing sound on the line."I'm okay. Sorry

"Please, let my hands go, then we can talk. I promise to be honest. I have actually always been honest with you." I was already begging. He could do anything he wants to me without me defending myself. I also want to listen to his explanation about what happened to us since I got pregnant."I don't know what to believe anymore.""I was your wife. You promised to protect and be with me. I have always trusted that promise. I escaped when I felt it wasn't safe for me and my daughter anymore. You saw how violent you could be when you're angry.""You're the one who made me angry!""I didn't do anything. Anywhere I went, I was with Nancy and the driver. You could have asked them what I did for you not to believe me.""They were your allies. Of course they would not tell me what you were really up to.""Nancy did her best to protect me from you, and so did the driver. They saw I suffered because of you.""Ericka told me your plans from the very beginning. She showed me pictures of you and al
The Love I Have Hoped For 110 The Kidnapper
Having a headache, I woke up in a small dim room. The curtain covers half of the glass window on the right side of the bed. Based on the light, it seems like it's early in the morning. I immediately got up from the bed, but my left hand was pulled by something. It was tied to a metal which was fastened to the side of the bed. I couldn't see it clearly yet. I could feel pain all over my body especially from my left hand where the metal was tied and my head. A pitcher of water and a glass were set up on top of the side table. The room seems like one of the cheap motel rooms you can rent while on the road. Outside the window, I could glimpse some trees and a view of the sky. I was still wearing the same clothes I had worn since yesterday. My shoes were neatly arranged on the side of the bed. My phone and my small pouch were nowhere. I could finally check my left hand. I was handcuffed with the other end attached to the bed. Where am I? I wanted to scream and maybe ask for help from anyo
The Love I Have Hoped For 109 Finding Nancy
The next day, I was so anxious waiting for a message from whoever has Nancy. I was still trying to convince myself that Nancy is just somewhere, calming herself down before meeting me. She would show up in our house unannounced anytime soon and say how much she misses all of us, especially me and Athena. I decided to be on leave from work indefinitely. I kind of blame myself for being so busy that I didn't spend much time with my family, including Nancy. It feels like I abandoned them just because I want to prove something to Geoff and Ericka. I got so busy avenging that I forgot the most important people for me.We also asked for Athena to stop going to school for the meantime. She sounded hesitant about the plan at first since she likes spending time with hwr friends, but later she realized that playing with her toys and reading books at home are more fun.Mom is sometimes suspicious of how I was acting, but I was happy that she didn't ask too many questions. I don't want to make he
The Love I Have Hoped For 108 Where is Nancy?
The next day, I decided to take some days off to spend more time with Athena. I also would like to wait for Nancy and have a chat with her. We haven't talked for months now and partly I blame myself for being so busy that I never even tried to reach out to her. I never asked her how she is despite knowing that she comes home late almost every night for the past months and she sometimes doesn't come home. If only I tried talking to her, sending her a message or calling her, maybe this wouldn't happen. I still didn't tell mom about what happened and I don't have any plans of telling her.Two days has passed and no signs of Nancy. Her phone can't be reached and she also doesn't respond to messages. I was starting to get more worried but as Colin said, we should give her some space. She also needs time to think. We spent our weekend to an amusement park like what we promised to Athena. It was a happy day, but I can't totally ignore the worry I feel for Nancy. I don't know Cristoff's phone
The Love I Have Hoped For 107 The Worry
Cristoff! I haven't seen him in ages! He was not that nice to me either when I was still living with Geoff. If I remember it correctly, the two don't really have a good relationship. I looked at Nancy in disbelief. "What is this guy doing here? Why are the three of you together?" To give her the benefit of the doubt, although I already know the answer, I still asked her that question. I am hoping, although it may sound impossible, that it was just a coincidence that he was with her and Athena."He's my boyfriend." She confidently said. I was expecting her to say more, maybe to explain her side why she didn't tell us about him, but she remained silent after."Since when?" I picked Athena up and carried her in my arms."Long time ago.'"Why didn't you tell us?" I said coldly."For this exact same reason. You will just ask me to stay away from him.""You saw how I suffered when I was with them. Didn't you learn anything at that time?" Cristoff didn't utter any word. He was just there, li
