I quickly got up from bed as if something was stirring in my stomach.

"Lucas," I called nervously when I saw him standing at the bathroom door. "You're home already," I added as I quickly washed my face to hide the puffiness of my eyes.

I didn't catch him when I woke up. He was no longer by my side in bed. I had slept off my headache from earlier. It seemed I caught it when it started raining on Isla Juancho.

The condo's door had already been replaced and was now completely secure, and he had complete trust in leaving me here alone. He couldn't leave earlier because he was worried that something unexpected might happen to me.

"Have you eaten?" I asked again when he didn't respond.

I blinked when he felt my neck. "I bought medicine," he said and turned away.

"You didn't answer my question," I pressed as he left me in the bedroom.

"I passed by to get your food from outside so you wouldn't have to cook—" he started to say.

"I already cooked kare-kare," I interrupted him.

    I felt like I was about to throw up my intestines. My mouth was sour, and all I could manage to expel was water. I washed my face to alleviate the dizziness. I was feeling so lightheaded as I sat down at the dining table. I reached for the glass of water that I'd been holding for a while. I wanted to rest, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I took the medicine Lucas gave me for the fever, but it still hadn't kicked in. After a moment, I decided to go to the veranda. I was momentarily halted as I passed by Lucas' room. From outside, I could clearly hear what they were watching. I just shook my head and continued to the veranda. I closed my eyes as the cool breeze met my face. Iris is still here, and it feels like she has no intention of leaving. I also have no right to claim Lucas back from her. As Iris mentioned, our annulment papers have been approved. Basically, I don't have any say in what Lucas chooses to do. Iris is no longer a mistress; she is the legal girlfriend. And

    "Are you feeling well now?" Mommy asked when I found them in the dining room. They look like having a deep conversation. I mustered a weak smile. "I'm sorry for bothering you last night," I apologized. "What happened?" Daddy inquired, setting down the newspaper he was holding. I puffed up my cheeks, my eyes pleading as I looked at Mommy. I didn't know how to explain, and I also knew I had no coherent words to offer. Mommy shrugged, her shoulders sagging. I couldn't help but to sigh. I don't have a choice. "Did you have a fight with your husband?" "Lucas and I are getting a divorce. It's been approved," I replied, my response void of emotion. "What?" Daddy's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What are you thinking, Aurora?" he questioned, clearly displeased with what he'd just heard. "When did this happen, and why didn't we know? You didn't tell us, or your mother." I could only swallow hard and bow my head. "Your relationship seemed fine, Aurora. How did it come to this?" Mommy a

    "Aurora, is that you?"I turned to the familiar voice and raised an eyebrow when I saw Haze. With an almost accusatory look, he lightly smacked me on the back and his eyes sparkled with excitement upon seeing me."Long time no see! I missed you!" he said cheerfully as he took a seat in front of me.I simply looked at him before taking a sip of my coffee."Aren't you going to take off those shades and cap? What are they for? You look ridiculous," he commented."You're the one who's practically all red from head to toe. Did I say anything about that?" I retorted.He wrinkled his nose and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm planning to dye it black again. It doesn't look right every time I attend a meeting.""It's good that you noticed," I prodded.Haze's frown deepened. "You've been acting really aloof lately. You haven't been replying to my messages, and when I call, you pick up but no one says anything—" "What?" I asked, finally fully paying attention.My cell phone had been gone for a

    My attention shifted to my cell phone when it vibrated. I glanced away from Lucas, who was wiping away tears from his eyes."Haze," I answered his call."Are you okay? Where are you? That damn bodyguard of Martin's," he said angrily."Can you come pick me up here—" "Stay away from him, Aurora," Lucas interjected after taking my cell phone and ending Haze's call.Instead of responding, I reached for my cell phone, which he had in his hand, but he pulled it away from me. I gave him a stern look. There was no sign on his face that he would return it to me."Give it back to me," I calmly requested."For what? So you can meet up with him again?" he asked. "No, you're staying here. You're not leaving my condo.""What's the problem if I want to meet him? Even if I want to have sex with him, it's none of your business— I'm hurting, Lucas," I said as he forcefully choked me."What did you say?" he seethed with anger.Fear consumed me as I saw the fury in his eyes."Lucas, let go of me," I str

    I grabbed my cell phone from him and turned to leave, but he quickly pulled me back, preventing me from getting out of the door."Let go of me!" I exclaimed in frustration as I struggled, but in an instant, he had me in his arms and was leading me towards his room."No, you stay here, Aurora. Don't be too stubborn!""You're the one being persistent! I already said I'm going home, didn't I? Do you hit your head somewhere to suddenly became stupid and can't understand?" I winced in pain as he forcibly brought me down onto his bed. There was a sharp and disapproving look in my eyes as I gazed at him."Is this what you learn every time you're with that fucking guy—""No, my question is, are you not finished, Lucas? Are you not done hurting me? Damn it," I chuckled. "I don't know what the hell is on your mind, and what you're planning for me, because you're acting the same way again."I couldn't continue speaking as he slowly removed his clothes one by one. I felt my throat go dry, watchin

    Evening came, and Lucas was no longer by my side. He wasn't in the condo, and I had no idea where he had gone. Perhaps he was with Iris, as he had been spending his time with here ever since we returned from the island. I picked up my cell phone from the nightstand and checked it. There was no message from Mommy, and I was about to send them my goodbyes when I saw a recent text from Daddy. "Don't tell Aurora about it. She's already having a hard time, Lucas." I was slightly confused by the message, and as I contemplated its meaning, my cell phone suddenly rang. I sighed and answered it after seeing Haze's name on the screen. "Haze," I said as I picked up the call. I tilted my head in surprise as I heard what sounded like Haze crying on the other end of the line. "Hello, Haze? Are you there?" I asked. "Aurora," she called my name. I intentionally didn't respond and waited for him to speak, but he remained silent. "Haze?" I called out to him once again. "Can you come with me?"

    "Aurora," a soft voice whispered, gently tapping my cheek. I stirred, feeling extremely weak as I slowly opened my eyes. My cheek throbbed painfully, probably from the dried blood that had already stopped from streaming down my face. The last thing I could recall was being hit on the head, and after that, they'd placed a sack over my head. "Can you run?" Lucas whispered softly. I shook my head. "Who's with you?" I asked, straining to hear any sounds around us. "You can ask that later," he replied, and he quickly undoing the ties on my legs and arms. I left with no choice when he suddenly pulled me off without any words and started running to leave that area. Despite my knees feeling like jelly, I did my best to keep up, knowing that if I didn't, we could both die. Panic surged in me when I heard two people approaching from where Lucas and I were currently hidden. "There are people," I whispered in alarm, even though I knew that he could hear them too. "Damn it," he muttered, pu

    "You seem to be moving a bit slowly, Martin," Haze chuckled. "You might as well accept that I beat you to it before you can tell your wife— well, you're not married anymore, but it seems like... you're chasing after her," he added with an insulting tone. I glanced at Lucas, not hearing any response from him. But I couldn't detect any emotion on his face, quite the opposite of how shocked I was by these events. He was just looking at Iris, who smiled at him and appeared to feel sorry for not being able to get closer to Lucas. I was still in a daze, trying to process what was happening. All this time... They were all around me. How could I be surrounded by people I've long been puzzled about why I was experiencing things that shouldn't have happened? How? I turned my eyes back to Haze, who was now laughing and looking at both Lucas and me. He looked completely different from the Haze I had known. "Are you... Red?" I asked in disbelief. He tilted his head while looking at me. "Yes,

    I was sore down there. When I woke up, Lucas was still sound asleep. I rummaged through his clothes to find something to wear and cover my body. My outfit was ruined from the outside down to my underwear. He was a beast! Even though I could barely walk properly, I felt no regret. I wanted it, and I won't deny it. He didn't stop until I was begging him to. I only managed to rest for a bit, but I woke up to him making love to my body again. I went straight to the kitchen to get some water. I must have run out of fluids in my body because of what he did. He was trying to hold himself back earlier, but when he laid me down on his bed, it was like he was going to tear me apart. I coughed when I felt his arms wrap around my waist and Lucas burying his face in my neck. "One more?" he asked, pulling me slightly, causing me to feel his hardness against my back. "I'll cut that off," I threatened him. I hadn't even had a proper rest! He just laughed while teasing my breasts, and

    "You want more?" I brought the pasta closer to her that I hadn't touched. I was busy watching her enjoy the food I made. She hesitated to look at it. "Don't you want it?" she asked. I shook my head. "I'm not hungry," I replied. "You're wasting food. You shouldn't have cooked so much," she complained, although she was smiling as she took my plate. "Take it easy on the wine. You have low alcohol tolerance," I reminded her. She just smiled at me and gave her full attention to the pasta she was eating. "Does your fiancé know that I'm the one you're visiting here? Does he even know me? Who I am in your life?" She stared at me for a long time while chewing slowly, as if she was thinking. "Of course," she eventually answered. "Do I know him?" "You do," she replied affirmatively. "I'm just going to change my clothes," I said as I left her there. How I envy her for being able to move on and heal her heart that fast while here I am, still stuck on the day when she left me. I quick

    "Put me down!" she complained as I carried her like a sack of rice. "Stop squirming!" I said, starting to get annoyed. When I opened my car, I finally put her inside. She looked at me with such anger in her eyes that it felt like she wanted to kill me. "I dare you to open that damn door. It is not funny, Aurora," I said seriously. "Why are you forcing me to go with you? I already said I want to go home—" "And I insisted to take you to your hotel. Yet, we need to talk first." "We have nothing to talk about, Lucas." I turned to the driver's seat. "Yes, we do. You haven't told me why you came here. Was it so important that you flew here when you could have just called me—" She laughed, which made me turn to her. "Call you for what? So I wouldn't see your girlfriend?" "She's not my girlfriend," I corrected her. "You kissed, and now she's not your girlfriend? Damn, what? Are you going to throw your girlfriend away?" "That was an accident, Aurora! I didn't kiss her," I defended

    I gasped a breath before facing her. She was silently looking at me while I faced her. A mix of anxiety and fear consumed my system, but I didn't let it show. "Aurora," I said her name. "Lucas," she called me. I could see the surprise in her eyes as if she didn't expect to see me in front of her now. Her eyes pierced through me and looked behind. Even without looking, I knew she was looking at Justine. "You left your girlfriend," she said, now unable to look directly into my eyes. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. After four years, here she is... in front of me. I don't know how to act because I was too shocked by the situation and the fact that she saw me in such a bad state. If... If I could just hug her tight, I would. My attention shifted to her lips as she bit them, something she does whenever she is holding back from saying something. I tried to follow her eyes, but it seemed she was avoiding our eyes meeting. "I got a job offer somewhere here. The driver dropped m

    I had been staring at her face for a long time. I was controlling myself not to make a move just to avoid scaring her. She was crying in front of me, and God knows how hard I was trying to hold back the urge to pull her into my arms. Seeing her cry made me want to cry too. As much as I didn't want to see her in tears, I couldn't do anything. I couldn't blame her because I knew she was carrying a heavy burden in her heart. She left the Pines without clarity about what happened before. She planted anger, and it seemed that it hadn't gone away until now. I am not asking her to forgive me anytime soon. I just want to apologize for what I did. I know that forgiveness isn't easy. I never planned to say goodbye to her. It was never on my list to talk to her before I leave, but I had no choice; it seemed this was meant to happen. "Goodbye," I love you. I could no longer hold back the tears streaming down my cheeks, so I hurried back to my car. I cried quietly as I watched her in front

    "Aurora left her kids here. I can't leave them," Chris began as he answered my call. "Where did she go?" I asked, raising my eyebrows in concern. She still hadn't gotten over what happened before. She still leaves our kids anywhere. "I told you I can't leave the kids. How will I know? I am in front of Aurora's parents' house. The kids are playing outside," he reported. "I'm heading there now," I replied and ended the call. I turned the steering wheel to go back. Christian had said he was going somewhere, and I couldn't leave my children unattended. I wouldn't forgive myself if something bad happened to them. This is the only way I can ensure their safety. I had been away for a long time, though not literally since there were times I visited Sitel even when they weren't aware. "Thanks," I thanked Chris as he said he was leaving. "Superman!" shouted a familiar child's voice that made me turn. I looked back to see who was calling. Liam had a big smile on his face. Looking at his

    "What are you doing here?" Noah asked. He was in front of me. If looks could kill, I would have been lying dead a long time ago. There were just some police around us, and I know how it feels like. The difference is that I was imprisoned because of Aurora's wish for me to be locked up, while this guy in front of me was here because he tried to kill someone. "Did Aurora visit you?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer. I was hearing updates about what was happening with Aurora. Chris was helping me keep an eye on her. It's not that I wanted to invade her privacy, but I needed to. The last time I decided to stop checking on her, in just a span of a fucking second, her life was in danger again. "She has already been discharged from the hospital, for your information. It seems your mother didn't tell you or give any updates about Aurora yet," I added. I smirked when I saw that he seemed to be interested in what I was saying. I felt pity for this friend of Aurora's. He had

  • The Mafia's Unwanted Wife   TMUW 104: Goodbye

    I was left sitting here outside the house. Several hours have passed, and until now, Lucas and my children have not returned yet. I have peeked multiple times at the passing vehicles, hoping that one of them carries Luna and Liam. I wanted so much to rest, but I can't. I will wait for them to come back here. I can't bear it if my children were to disappear from me as well. They are my only family. Lucas cannot just steal my kids away and hide them from me. I have more rights than he does if we are going to talk about the kids, but what can I do if he has completely kept them away from me? I wiped the tears that flowed from my eyes. I am getting tired of crying. If I had known this would happen, I would have just stayed inside the house. If I knew that leaving my children just to talk to their father would lead to being separated from them, I wouldn't have left them. I messed up my hair again. Thoughts keep racing through my mind. I swear to God. I could spend all my money just to

    I was almost ready to fly my car. The problem was that due to rush hour, I was having a hard time weaving in and out. I had been honked at by the cars I was overtaking, but my desire to catch up with Lucas prevailed. I couldn't explain why I felt anxious. I had just said earlier that I would keep my kids away from him, yet here I was, nearly crashing my vehicle just to reach his condo building. Why didn't he tell me he was leaving? If Noah hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known at all. After everything, he was going to leave? He would just abandon everything and bury it all? Did he want to start a new life and live more quietly? I exhaled forcefully through my nose. I grabbed my hair in frustration while staring at the car in front of me. Those few seconds felt like several minutes. "Damn you, Lucas," I muttered angrily. I kept glancing at my cellphone. I couldn't sit still as time kept ticking away. I didn't even know if I would still catch Lucas at his condo. My eyes we
