That man has already walked with his son. And I went home as well. I walked out to the alley where I was already waiting for tricycles to take us home. Suddenly, a car stopped in front of me.The driver asked me if I wanted to ride with him. I said no because our way is different. The driver forced me several times. That’s why I didn’t refuse again. I sit in the front seat. I was surprised when someone spoke to us. When I turned around, he was the one I bumped into at the school. I didn’t say anything because he might scold me. I was quiet until we got to the alley going into our house. I didn’t let the driver enter the alley. It was embarrassing when I was getting off. I thanked the driver and the man in the back. He seemed to be the boss of the driver.“Thank you brother, and thank you, sir?!”“Mr. Taylor, you call him, ma’am.” The driver said.The man behind the car didn’t say anything, but I stopped. Mr. Taylor?! That’s what always crossed my mind. I suddenly got a headache that’s
In London…I waited for the man I brought to the hospital to wake up. I noticed that his phone rang. I looked to see who called, but it just said my honey. Who is the woman who called? I was sad, too bad this man already has a girlfriend. His phone rang again. I couldn’t stand it anymore. I answered the call.“Honey, where are you? I’ve been calling you, but you never answered. Is there a problem?” that voice is familiar to me? So I just put it down. I didn’t say anything because I might be mistaken for another woman as his girlfriend or wife. I don’t want any more trouble. I don’t want to be like my fiancé, who cheats face to face.One day, I will also know who the girl you are fooling is. You two get ready for me. I became emotional again. I wanted to scream out of the rage I was feeling right now.When I looked at his phone, I saw someone in the contacts that said mom, maybe it was his mother. I tried to call her so that I could go home and have someone watch over him while I was g
Tried calling my husband Patrick, but he wasn’t answering. Where is that man again? I don’t get carried away with what Patrick does. I still hope that he will change. I didn’t call again and decided to call Lea. Finally, she answered me herself.“Hey Lea, I called you earlier when a man answered. Is that your husband?” It took a while for Lea to answer. I don’t know if she was still thinking or just doing something, so she couldn’t answer right away.“Oh! Yes, I’m sorry. I left my phone because I was taking a shower. I didn’t know that my husband would answer your call.”“Oh! Is that so? Why didn’t he answer? He was just listening to me.” That was my answer to Lea.“Oh! Sorry again, I don’t know why my husband didn’t answer you. By the way, why did you call me?”“Oh! Yes, can we meet tomorrow at noon? I just have something to tell you.” I answered Lea.“Dina! I am excited to know what you will tell me. Alright, just message me where we can meet.”“Okay Lea, ah! I just wanted to ask so
My husband and daughter are leaving, Carmela is going to school and Alfred is going to work. I was alone at home again, so I thought about going to the mall so I could have fun.I was entertained by people walking around and looking at clothing stores. I liked a dress in a store so I went in. The clothes are so beautiful, I can only think when I will buy such clothes. Maybe it’s just a dream. A staff there approached me to ask me what I needed. I told her I was just looking. I heard a woman’s voice in the other space; she was talking to a staff there. She was very angry when I looked at the woman. Her face was familiar to me. It’s like I’ve seen this girl before and I just forgot about it. I feel sorry for the staff because they shouldn’t be treated like rich people like that because they work honorably.I begged a staff member to go to the toilet first, and she guided me to where their toilet was. The staff there is kind. Are there only customers who act like they are going to buy th
My chest was pounding as we approached the 5th floor of that hotel. I was quiet, as well as was Mark. I noticed that he was snickering with anger. I looked at him as if he was fuming with anger.“Are you okay?” I couldn’t hold back, so I asked him.“Yes, I’m okay. Thanks, you don’t have to worry. I can manage myself.”“Okay.” That’s all I answered to him.We are already there on the 5th floor. I’m tired when I notice that we’re on the same path.“Wait! Are you going this way, too?”“Yes, my detective told me the room number.” He answered me.I said to myself, no way! Don’t let him say we are going to the same room. That means his wife is my husband’s mistress. Shit! This can’t be done. My husband’s face is thick and his wife’s. I feel like I want to explode with so much anger.We’re in the hallway and it’s close to the room I’m going to. And we saw a housekeeping attendant enter the room that the receptionist pointed to.“Excuse me, miss, where is the person who checked in here?”“Oh!
I enjoyed the silence of the place where I stayed for a while. Yes, I’m here in Palawan. I rented a small apartment. First, I wanted to be alone, away from civilization. A lot has happened in my life, especially the emotional damage my husband brought to me. I did everything to forget all the pain he caused me. Since I haven’t seen any work online yet, I scrolled through Tiktok and I didn’t expect someone to come across my for you page. She talked about a disease that is difficult to treat, which is what they call Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD. I was suddenly curious, so I watched all her videos. I suddenly became aware of everything. I did not think that all the behavior of a narcissist is the same as my husband. I didn’t stop. I watched everything and suddenly I woke up from the nightmare I went through in life.In the Taylors’ office…I was about to enter the office when suddenly someone called me.“Excuse me, Alfred, right?”“Yes ma’am, why?”“By the way, I’m Karen, sis
The next day I woke up early, excited about our graduation. I have finally finished my college studies and my parents will not have a problem with me studying. I didn’t know that Mama woke up earlier than me. She was taking care of Papa because he was about to go to work, but Papa said he would only stay for half a day because he would be attending my graduation. Hey! Thank you Lord and I also overcome my trials in life financially, emotionally, mentally, and physically.Suddenly, my phone rang. It surprised me that Jacob called me. What does he mean to me?“Hey! Jacob, you were called. What do you need?”“Oh! Carmela, sorry for disturbing you. I just want to congratulate you on your success.”“Really?! Congratulations to you too. We’re the same, aren’t we? Hope after graduation we will meet again.” I said to Jacob.“Yes, I will miss you!”I was very moved by what Jacob said to me.Yes, gossipers, we had a relationship with Jacob midyear in our 4th year. Jenny didn’t know that because
I have also arrived at the venue that Loid sent me. It turned out that the big hotel was the venue for Jenny and Jacob’s graduation. I called Loid to find out where they were located. I also went inside to look for them. I was about to leave the toilet when I felt a stomach ache. Why now? The program will start in just a few minutes and I can’t go up to the stage to accompany my daughter. Hey, what happened? Why is my stomach hurting? “Excuse me, ma’am, are you all right?” the woman asked me.“Yes, I’m fine, Ouch!”“Are you sure, ma’am?”“Yes, thanks! I’m sorry. My stomach just suddenly hurt. But it will go away.”“Would you like me to accompany you to the mini-clinic here at the hotel?”“Oh, don’t do anything else, or your program will start and you’ll miss out,” I said to the girl who is the same age as my daughter.“Are you sure? I’m Jenny. Who did you bring here?” I didn’t tell Jenny who I came with because she went out first because someone called her phone. So I just left. Wha
Dina pulled me out of the store because she said we were going to eat. It's a fancy restaurant where almost all the customers there are rich. I was just observing the surroundings while waiting for Dina to come from the washroom. Opposite that restaurant, there is a cafeteria. I saw a woman and two men. A woman and a man sit next to each other while a man sits in front of them. The man next to her is familiar to me. They were so close to each other that's why I just shook my head. That girl is so bad that she doesn't even have any delicacy even when they are facing a man, too. I seem to see that man in front of them. Yes, he is the guy I bumped into earlier, and Dina knows him."Wait, I think I know that guy next to the girl. Is that Alfred?" I couldn't be bothered by what I saw. Who was that woman? Why was she holding my husband's arm like that?"Hey! Carina, you've been looking out there for a while. Who is that you're looking at?Noticed that, Dina was surprised by what sh
We were stunned when Alfred and Carmela entered with their brother Danilo. “Mama, thank God that you are awake. We are apprehensive.” Carmela hugged Carina. “Yes, child, Mama will always be strong for you. Dear, one day will come when I will disappear from the world. Don’t be sad! Remember that Mama just went abroad and it will take a long time to return. Remember that I will do this for your future.” I saw how sad Carina was. Her tears started to fall and I couldn’t stop my eyes from shedding tears, too. I was saddened by what my friend was saying.“Mom, what are you talking about? You’re strong, aren’t you? Doc Danilo said it’s just stress. So don’t worry, Papa and I won’t stress you out, right Pa?” Alfred answered. Very deep in the heart, Carmela and Alfred probably don’t know about the pain. I just cried because I didn’t let them know. While my brother Danilo was silent next to me. He is also sad about my friend’s condition because he took care of it.
“Hey! Carmela, you are very pretty with your outfit.” “It’s not Jenny, it’s you!” “Yes Carmela, you look gorgeous.” “You’re bubbling again Jacob.” “Yeah! I’m telling the truth, ah! Can we talk for a moment? Just the two of us, Jenny. Will you excuse us?” “Okay bro, have fun with Carmela. I’ll go see our other classmates first.” Jacob and I went to a hidden place in their house, a secret place like his room. We talked there, and he hugged me tightly, feeling that he misses me so much and I miss him too. We cherished those times we secretly spent together. While the surroundings were quiet, I suddenly heard the voices of two women. I didn’t hear much of their conversation but only the words “We will blow up later. Let’s just see what Dina’s reaction will be when she finds out.” Dina?! Is she the Dina we met at the gate with a man? What are their plans for Ma’am, Dina? “Jacob?! Did you hear what they were saying?” But when I looked
At the hospital... "Hi! Danilo, how are you?" “Oh! Sister, why are you here? Didn't I tell you that I will call you to pick you up? You know that your situation is delicate. I was about to call you because I just finished checking up on my patient and she just left." “Really?! Maybe she's the one I met in the lobby earlier. By the way, what did she ask you to consult? Aren't you a neurosurgeon?” "Oh! Actually this is confidential because we have a policy at the hospital that we never share the information and results of our patients unless the one who’s asking is the patient family." "Oh! Is that so? I'm sorry because I'm just curious about that girl. Is it not possible to know her name? Even just a name. Please…I couldn't stand my sister so I told her the name of my patient. But I wondered why she seemed sad and depressed when I told my sister nothing but my patient's name. "Ha! How many years have you known Danilo?"I wondered why sister asked me that question
Dina has returned home to the apartment she rents. She still couldn’t get out of her mind the girl she had bumped into earlier in the hospital.Is Carina the girl I bumped into? But impossible! It’s been a few years and we don’t know the case about the disappearance of Carina and her daughter. But it is also possible that someone saw them in the sea and rescued them. It is necessary to investigate her and Carina. I will not stop until I can confirm who that girl is. My phone suddenly rang. An unknown number, I don’t want to answer because it has been called several times. “Hello! Who’s this please?“ No one answered. I was nervous. Who else has scared me? A few minutes later, I heard a woman’s grunt and a man’s voice. I can’t think of anything but my husband and friend in London. Those two are pigs. It annoys me. Just wait for me to give birth and I will come back to you, have fun and enjoy the happy days and when I return all the happy days that you have now, I will replace them
I approached Papa Alfred’s table. I also saw Sir Loid there. I was nervous. What would I say to Papa?“Oh! My daughter, what are you doing here at the mall? Who is with you?“Alfred? Is Carmela your daughter?”“Yes, sir Loid, I’m sorry I couldn’t happily mention her to you. She is the one you bought as a gift at her graduation.”“Really! So, you mean she is a classmate of my children? But she works at my company.”I suddenly broke out in a very cold sweat, as if a lot of ice had been poured on my body. I was already awake, knowing that Papa would be angry with me because I didn’t tell him and Mama that I was working at Taylor’s company because Mama didn’t want to. I don’t even know what Mama’s reason is, but I’m sure she will preach to me when Papa comes home. I can see on Papa’s face that he is disappointed with me, but he is probably holding back because Sir Loid is in front of us.“Oh! Alright, Pa and Sir Loid, I’ll go first. Mama is waiting for me downstairs.”“Wait! Are you with
“You’re the one I’m asking why you’re vacationing in the Philippines without my knowledge.”“When did my opinion and decision in life concern you? Don’t you care about me anymore?”“It doesn’t mean we didn’t just get along, but it’s only natural for a married couple to not get along sometimes, but I’m not saying that you can make a decision that I don’t know about.”“So, you want to control my life? For your info Patrick, we are only married on paper. But that doesn’t mean that you control my life. We have our own decisions in life, so you don’t care where I am now and when I will return to London.” Annoyed, said Patrick.He just kept quiet. Maybe he thought I had a point. I don’t plan to go back to London. I want to give birth in the Philippines. But I’m having a hard time now that my belly has grown a bit and I’m about to give birth.I need to ask my brother for help. I will call him.Danilo is Dina’s youngest brother. They are close to each other and they are the only two siblings.
"Hey! Jacob?! Is that you?” I looked at the woman who called me. "Who are you?!" "Wow, Jacob, you forgot me right away. I'm Rowena, your future fiancée." "What?!" What is this woman saying? "Of course, I'm telling you the truth. We met before when we were still in primary school. I am your father's friend and business partner. We didn't see each other again after that because I was here in America to continue studying. It's good that we went to school together, I'll see you all the time. I'm sure we'll be in the same class." Hey! What kind of woman is this who talks so much I don't even ask. "Okay! I have to go because I will pick up Jenny." “Oh! My best competitor in school was also here." "Yes, why do you have a problem? It's none of your business if she's here too because we're twins. And besides, our parents decided that. So shut up, you're saying a lot, I'm not asking you." I left, knowing that she was embarrassed by what I was saying. I can have you too
“Doc, how is my baby doing?”“Your baby is fine, Mrs. Taylor,”“Doc, just call me Dina. I don’t want to hear that last name.”“Okay, Dina! You just have to be careful because the child’s attachment is weak. I’ll give you some medicine to make him more attached.”“Okay doc, thank you. And doc, please. Please don’t let anyone know that I’m pregnant, especially the Taylor Family.”“If you don’t mind, Dina. Why?”I thought, this doctor is also gossipy.“Oh! I have a reason doc, I hope you respect it.” I told the doctor.“Oh! I’m sorry Dina. I’ll go first. Just don’t forget what I told you.”The doctor left, and I followed him. But he stopped for a moment because someone called him. Because I’m also gossipy, I listened to their conversation. I heard someone named Leah, wait is she my friend Leah? But it’s impossible. What connection do they have with my doctor? I’m still nervous. Maybe he’ll slip and tell the person he’s talking to about me, but I hope not. I hope she’s not my friend Leah.
