The Wife's Comeback Chapter 42: Anguish
Chapter 42AnguishNanatili ako sa kuwartong iyon nang sumunod na araw. I also didn't expect they will let me go so it's no surprise for me. Iyon nga lang, nami-miss ko na ang anak ko. Nagawa na nilang ipakita sa akin si Ice ng isang beses at hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi nila iyon magawa ngayon.I sighed when Ivan placed a tray of food in front of me. Yakap ko ang aking mga tuhod. His scrutinizing gaze made me a bit uncomfortable. I cleared my throat.Tahimik kong ginalaw ang pagkain. He sat down on the edge of the bed. I didn't give him my attention even if I got a little curious about his consistent phone calls. Bawat minuto yata ay may sinasagot siyang tawag."You received the location?" he answered another call.Saglit akong napatigil sa pagsubo. From an empty spot, his eyes moved to me. I crouched my head. Tinuloy ko ang pagkain kahit na hindi ko malasahan nang mabuti ang nakahain at halos mahirapan ako sa pagnguya."We're good. He's already on the way. You can switch places, i

Chapter 43ExplosionNagbaba ako ng tingin. Lumabo ang aking mata. No, I can't cry. Ito na ang pagkakataon ko para mapapayag siya. Hindi ko man iyon sinadya pero tama lang siguro."Rigella," he called weakly. Hinawakan niya ang aking baba dahilan ng pagkatuklas ko sa kaniyang umaagos na luha. "You're tired of loving me already?"Hindi ako makasagot noong una. Alam ko naman ang sagot pero ayaw ko munang magsalita. Matapang ko siyang tiningan."H-Hindi na kita matatanggap kahit kailan. Masama kang tao..." nanginig ang aking bosesHe bit his lower lip. Tumango-tango siya. Mas lalong kumulimlim ang kaniyang porma."You don't deserve us, Ivan. You couldn't tell the truth from the start. Magtiis kang mawala kaming lahat sa 'yo dahil ginusto mo namang mag-isa, hindi ba?"Tinatagan ko ang aking hitsura. Pinisil niya ang aking kamay."Learn to give me up, like how you'd always wanted to get rid of me. Dahil ako? Tapos na tapos na akong maging asawa mo. Makita lang kita, mas pipiliin ko pang ma

Chapter 44SaveThat evil laugh terrified me to the core. Halos hindi na 'ko makagalaw sa tinataguan ko sa likod ng mahabang sofa. I covered my mouth to avoid making any noise.I uttered my deepest prayer at that time. Please, save me and my baby. I can’t... just die like this! Ni hindi ko alam kung bakit ako napunta sa ganitong sitwasyon!“Ah, someone’s coming...” the man’s deep voice still sounded as if it was near me, but it also felt like he was still too far away to reach me.I was trembling in fear. Pinipilit kong kumalma pero hindi ko magawa. I was also thinking of Ivan. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan ba siya at kung ano nang kalagayan niya. At kung kasama na ba niya ang anak namin.Oh, please. Save me from this! I don’t want my child to lose me. He doesn’t deserve it. Please, dear Lord!“Ah!” I heard the man moaned in pain.Narinig ko rin ang tunog na tila paghampas ng isang bakal. My eyes blurred but my hearing turned hypersensitive. In the middle of the dark, I wanted to escape b

Chapter 45WorldLumambot ang kaniyang ekspresiyon. “Rigella...”She took a step forward but I took a step backward. I glared at her and pointed a finger at her.“‘Wag kang lalapit sa ‘kin,” I warned her.Namanglaw ang kaniyang mga mata. “Rigella, please—”“Sabi nang ‘wag kang lalapit!” I saw her tear fell. Pero wala akong pakialam. How dare she show up in front of me. Ang kapal ng mukha niya“Rigella, please. Kailangan nating mag-usap...” pakiusap niya.“Mag-usap? After all these years? Yayayain mo ‘kong makipag-usap na parang wala lang? Na parang wala lang nangyari, ha?” Nangilid ang luha ko. Sheer anger boiled within me. Walang mapaglagyan ang galit at sakit na nararamdaman ko. Umiling si Ate Rina. “Please, hayaan mo lang akong magpaliwanag...”“Magpaliwanag? Ano pa bang ipapaliwanag mo? Na siyam na taon kang nawala, ha? Dahil ano? Dahil sinuway mo sina Daddy! Dahil makasarili ka at ang gusto mo, lahat ng ambisyon mo lang ang masusunod! Na ang totoo, wala kang pakialam sa ‘min n

Chapter 46Her Authority“Ma’am, the managers are already waiting for you in the conference room to present the newest collections,” my secretary, Zella, informed while I was busy applying my perfume.My brow arched. I tilted my head to spray the scent on my neck. Pagkatapos kong gumamit ng pabango ay sinilid ko ulit iyon sa handbag ko. I flattened out my cream colored coat and made sure that my black silk blouse inside was tidied. I also made sure my cream skirt didn’t have the tiniest crease.“What do you think of my shoes?” I asked for her opinion while eyeing my red killer stilettos that stood seven inches high.Zella smiled. “Striking, Ma’am.”That put a contented smile on my face. I gave myself a once-over on the mirror in front of me. My hair was in a French twist and I had a sparkling diamond necklace that emphasized my slender neck.Zella handed me my bag. Bitbit naman niya ang mga folders na ako mismo ang nag-asikaso at tumrabaho nitong mga nakaraang linggo. Well, better be

Chapter 47Her GriefFLASHBACK“Dad?” mahina kong bulong nang mabasa sa lapida ang pangalan ni Daddy.Ricardo A. Crisostomo1960 - 2015 My knees weakened. Bumigay ang mga tuhod ko. I covered my mouth with my hands as I saw another tomb beside my father’s.“M-Mommy...” halos wala nang lumabas na boses sa akin.Ariana Lopez — Crisostomo1963 - 2015I sobbed hard the moment I realized it. Hindi ako makapaniwala. Pabalik-balik ang tingin ko sa mga puntod habang nasa gitna ako niyon. It was a vacant land area with bright green grasses.Ganito ang... Dito ang... gusto nilang paglibingan sa kanila.“Oh my God!” impit na sigaw ko. “Mommy! Daddy...” Naaalarma kong hinaplos ang mga puntod. My chest tightened more. Halos makulong ang mga hikbi ko dahil sa bikig sa aking lalamunan. Halos hindi na rin ako makaiyak nang maayos.I felt my sister behind me. Hinawakan niya ako sa balikat. I cried harder as it repeatedly echoed in my head.Wala na ang mga magulang ko.They’re gone. They’re dead.Pina

Chapter 48Her GainNapapikit ako nang dumaan ang alaalang iyon sa akin. I wore my ear muffs and my tactical glasses. On the table in front of me were the different types of guns that I specifically like. From revolvers, pistols, and other handguns to rifles and shotguns. I picked up a semi-automatic pistol and loaded its magazine with ammunition. Kinasa ko ang baril na hawak habang sine-sentro ang tingin sa target. I narrowed my eyes for better vision. Without further ado, I fired my shots continuously. Tanging putok lang ng baril ang maririnig sa paligid. When I was satisfied, I removed my ear muffs and my glasses. I picked up my binoculars. Sinilip ko roon kung naging accurate ba ang pagtama ko ng mga bala.A smirk made its way to my lips when I saw that one, single dot in the center. I guess, I’m really just a sharp shooter now, huh? Inangat ko ang baril at umuusok pa ang dulo niyon. I smirked while looking at the gun’s mouth. Sino kaya ang masuwerteng tatamaan ng bala nito?It

Chapter 49Her ChildI carefully placed the basket of flowers on top of their graves.Nagsindi ako ng dalawang magkahiwalay na kandila. I put one on each of the tomb. I removed my dark colored sunglasses. Nag-squat ako sa harapan ng mga puntod. I read each of their names. My face darkened.I caressed the names of the people I love. A bitter smile crept on my lips. “Your death won’t be the end of this. I promised you that I will do everything to avenge you. And in no time... I’ll get back at them.”I expcted to myself to cry in front of them, but I didn’t. Hinaplos ko ang aking tiyan. I closed my eyes as I remembered how exactly I’ve got to this point. How I became the strong and powerful Andrea Steinfields.FLASHBACKWhen I found out that I lost my baby, it was as if my world had met its end. I wasn’t able to eat, take a bath, nor lift myself from the bed for what it seem like days already. Para akong patay na humihinga lang para masabing buhay. As days went by, I came to underst

The Wife's Comeback Chapter 61: His Past (Part 2)
Chapter 61His Past (Part 2)“What’s that? Pampalubag loob mo?” Larisse asked sternly and coldly after I handed over her a bouquet of flowers and chocolates.I kept a small smile, still. She can really be difficult at times, but I can understand. We’re each other’s reflection. We are so alike.Two people sharing the same dilemma. Their parents.Maybe that’s what prolly gravitated us towards each other.“Please, accept this?” I said softly, cajoling her, “I made the chocolates by myself.”Mabilis na nagbago ang seryoso niyang ekspresyon. Her face softened. Lumawak ang ngiti ko. She then finally accepted the flowers and chocolates.She straightened out her arms, offering a hug. Ngumiti ako niyakap siya. “It’s your fault, but apology accepted.”Napawi nang kaunti ang ngiti ko. I remembered why we ended up breaking up weeks ago. Nagselos siya sa babaeng lumapit sa ‘kin para kausapin ako saglit.Lara she couldn’t control her jealousy sometimes that it gave me thoughts. If this is really w
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 60: His Past (Part 1)
Chapter 60His Past (Part 1)“You ranked first, but this is not enough,” Papa told me, one time in my last year in high school, when I showed him my report card.I came into his office thinking that when I‘d brought him the good news, he‘d finally allow me to have culinary classes again. That was my only hope.But then, as per his very words...It’s still not enough.“What do you mean?“ mahina kong tanong nang tanggapin ko ang binalik niyang report card.My grades were high. I never had any eight or seven. Only nines and even a hundred.Why does he keep on underestimating my hard-earned efforts?“That’s still insufficient for you to be accepted in Harvard,“ he answered as if it was too simple to do.My lips parted. I was rendered speechless.I only... wanted one thing. To take culinary classes. I loved cooking. I loved the feeling of being able to serve people with delicious food. It’s... something that not all men in my league aspires to do, but I do.I can always breathe as long as
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 59: Her Doubts
Chapter 59Her Doubts“It’s not that he forgot completely who Uno is. It’s that he’s under a trance, and he can’t say his name. Guess what? This is how he‘d been for the last thirteen years, Rigella,” mapait na dagdag ni Tres.Halos manigas ako sa aking kinatatayuan. My mouth parted but no voice came out. Umangat ang tingin ko kay Ivan na nanghihina pa rin at tila naluluha. And I just noticed, his eyes looked lost and and dead.What the hell is this?!“Maniniwala ka ba talaga sa gagong ‘to, Andrea?” Danger asked which made my rationality come back.True enough, that’s ridiculous.Tres hypnotized Ivan? What kind of excuse is that? Ano ito? Para lang hindi nila masabi sa ‘kin kung sino talaga si Uno?Of course! They’d avoid answering my one and only question. Kasamahan nila sa organisasyon ang demonyong ‘yon kaya pagtatakpan nila kahit buhay pa nila ang maging kapalit.And now, they’re trying to escape me with that pathetic excuse?“Great question, Cinco. It’s like you really don’t kno
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 58: Her Shock
Chapter 58Her Shock“What do you mean?!” I asked Ivan with a ragged breath.Habol ko ang aking hininga habang paulit-ulit ang pagdagundong sa dibdib ko. Halos kilabutan ako sa narinig ko sa kaniya.My enemy numero uno... my archnemesis... Uno...Is just within my reach... so close to me... all this fucking time?!His head fell weakly. Kumunot ang noo niya at parang litong-lito. Lumapit ako at padarag siyang hinawakan sa balikat.“Answer me! Sino si Uno!” Niyugyog ko ang nakatali niyang katawan.He lifted his head and our eyes met. May sugat siya sa gilid ng kaniyang mata at may pasa sa pisngi. His lip was bleeding.“I... I can’t say it,” he hissed.My brows quickly pulled together. “Are you insane? Sasabihin mo lang! Sabihin mo sa ‘kin kung sino si Uno!”Puno ng kalituhan ang mukha niya. What I noticed was his eyes. He looked very confused and his eyes were bloodshot.“S-Si... Si...” he attempted to say something, but he would pause each time he tries to speak.Niyugyog ko siyang mul
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 57: Her Danger
Chapter 57Her Danger“I want you to choose which method I should use on you,” nakahalukipkip kong tanong at pinadaan ang talim ng kutsilyo sa gilid ng leeg ni Ivan, “a torturous death... or an easy way out?” Kalmado pa rin ang mukha niya kahit nakababa na kami mula sa van at dinala ko siya sa isa sa mga rest house ko sa isang liblib na lugar sa probinsya.He was seated on the sofa of my living room — with both hands and feet cuffed. Nasa akin ang susi ng posas at naka-double lock din iyon. Unless, he‘d burn his own arms and legs, then he could get out.Nagkalat sa paligid ang mga tauhan ko at nasa taas din sina Sapphire at Emerald. Diamond left the port the moment I instructed her to guard my son and take him to a safe place. Kung saan tumutuloy si Darlyn at ang anak niya.“What do you want to know?” tanong niya at diretso ang tingin sa kawalan.From his back, I grabbed his chin. Inangat ko iyon hanggang sa ma-expose ang leeg niya. I pointed the edge of the knife on his neck.“Who i
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 56: His Surrender
Chapter 56His Surrender“Kill me,” I told her in a breathy voice.She wasn’t even fazed. The cold smirk on her lips told me that she didn’t feel anything about me anymore.I’m nothing but a prey for her... that she needs to kill and dispatch.My vision blurred even more. My heart clenched in pain. Umigting ang panga ko at nagbaba ng tingin. Kumuyom ang aking kamao.“Just do it, Rigella.” I have nothing else to say but it.Because I know, I deserve every pain and torture for not being able to protect her before.For letting those evil minds treat me like a guinea pig. For letting them mess up my mind that primarily affected my relationship with my wife and my family. It’s all my fault... and I deserve to die for it.“One question, Ivan,” aniya at mas diniin ang nguso ng baril sa aking noo, “are you Uno?” My eyes widened a bit. She... knows Uno? Then she probably knows that goddamn org, Dark Alpha.It shouldn’t surprise me anymore, but it still did. She’s Andrea Steinfields now. Som
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 55: Her Comeback
Chapter 55Her Comeback“Momma, she’s crying,” nag-aalalang saad ni Rayven sa telepono.My heart clenched. “Baby, what happened? Did Rayne got hurt? Are you both okay?”“Yes, Momma. We’re okay. She had a nightmare. She told us you disappeared in an instant and never came back again in her dream.”Napahinga ako nang maluwag nang marinig iyon. Lulan ako ng van na patungo sa private port na pagmamay-ari ni Dos. A total of ten vehicles are tailing my van.Today is the D-day. I’ll finally come face-to-face with my pathetic little ex-husband after so many years. “Rayven, can you do something for Momma?” I asked carefully. “What is it?”“Please pass the phone to your sister? Tell her I called.” Tumahimik naman ang kabilang linya. I heard my daughter crying over the phone. Pumikit ako nang mariin. It breaks my heart to hear her cry like that at wala man lang ako sa tabi niya.“Rayne, Momma wants to talk to you,” I heard Rayven’s calm voice.“H-Huh? Momma? Momma is calling, Rayven?!” I hear
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 54: His Seat
Chapter 54His Seat“Dos, can you calm this asshole?” iritadong saad ni Cuatro matapos maupo sa kaniyang upuan. I also settled in my seat, wearing my mask of indifference. Nakaupo na rin si Tres sa gitna namin. He’s massaging the bridge of his nose as if something’s pestering his mind.The oval meeting table was still unoccupied by the other members of Dark Alpha. Nauna kaming dumating at malalamang na namahuhuli si Uno dahil gusto niya na namang magpapansin sa lahat.“What’s wrong?” I asked in a serious voice.Cuatro hissed. “Sagutin mo, gago!” He punched Tres’ arm. Hindi naman natinag si Xyleus. His face was serious and his brows were furrowed tight.“Cuatro,” I called Creed, “what the hell is wrong with him?”Pumalatak siya. “Tangina talaga neto ni Tres. Kinakausap ka, eh!” My jaw clenched. Nang makita niyang dumidilim na ang ekspresyon ko ay napangiwi siya.“Para kayong gago, eh. ‘Wag n’yo na nga akong idamay sa mga katarantaduhan niyo. Namumuro na kayo, ah!”“What... the fuck.
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 53: Her Aces
Chapter 53Her Aces“Bakit hindi ka pa kumikilos?”Danger puffed from his cigarette beside me. Niyakap ko ang sarili ko dahil sa lamig na dala ng malakas na hangin.I happened to visit my organization’s hide-out in the Philippines. Binilin ko muna kay Roxanne ang kambal. Pinaalam ko na lang na may kailangan akong gawing trabaho at naintindihan naman nila.Ayoko sanang nahihiwalay ako kina Rayne at Rayven, pero kailangan.“Why are you so excited?” tanong ko at ngumisi.Binalingan ko siya. His face was serious and dark. Napailing ako nang muli siyang humithit sa kaniyang sigarilyo.“You’ll die early with what you’re doing,” iling ko.Matunog siyang ngumisi. “Not until I had avenged my brother against that fucking Dark Alpha.”Napahinga ako nang malalim. I don’t exactly know what Danger wants out of our plan, but I just know that his hatred for the people who killed his brother fuels his desire to destroy and eliminate them.“It’s a pity that Ate Rina died before we even got our hands on
