The Wife's Comeback Chapter 47: Her Grief
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

Chapter 50Her MotivationFLASHBACKMaagap akong napamulat nang makarinig ako ng putok ng baril. My hand that held the gun weakened and shook. Nabitiwan ko ang baril. Slowly, I looked at Ivan in front of me.He’s... unconscious and bloody. Nakahiga siya sa semento habang naliligo sa sarili niyang dugo.Napatakip ako sa bibig ko. Imposible...My gun didn’t fire a shot! I pulled the trigger but no bullet came out! Taranta akong napabaling sa likod ko.Then I saw my brother smirking while holding his gun. Suminghap ako nang mapagtanto ang lahat.He... He shot him! Siya ang bumaril kay Ivan!Hindi ako makapagsalita. Lalo pa nang sumunod niyang itutok sa ‘kin ang baril. “Hah! Feels good!” he said while smirking.Nagsimula siyang humakbang palapit kaya napaatras ako. My eyes hurt because of the tears. Awang ang labi ko habang nakatingin sa kaniya.Hindi ako makapaniwala. Did he... plan this? At nagpauto ako sa kaniya?“It’s your turn, Rigella. Do you really think that I want your forgive

Chapter 51Her Revenge“Momma, is it his birthday today?” my adorable and sweet daughter Iscelle Rayne asked me.Kakababa ko lang ng pinggan ng niluto kong spaghetti. Nasa gitna ng lamesa ang cake at halos mapuno ang kalahati ng long table ng mga pagkain.I felt the pang in my chest. Pilit akong ngumiti sa anak ko. I cupped her cheek.“Yes, baby. It’s your brother’s birthday today,” I tried my best to hide the sadness in my voice.“I gave him a robot toy as a gift, Momma,” sinabi naman ni Rayven Isaac na nakaupo sa tabi ng kaniyang kakambal.I felt my sadness creeping in again. My heart would still ache profusely each time I would be reminded of my other son. Ice.But even if he’s not with us today, we still celebrate his birthdays consistently. Hindi lilipas ang mga taon o mga araw na hindi ko naiisip ang panganay kong anak.“Momma?” Rayne asked and I felt her hand on mine.“Yes, baby?” I squatted in front of her.Marahan niya akong hinalikan sa aking noo. Uminit ang aking puso. I s

Chapter 52His Shackles“Izen,” I called my son after knocking a few times.No one answered.I drew a deep breath and twisted the doorknob. Then I saw him in his study table. The lights of his room were dimmed and his table lamp lit the pile of papers, notebooks, and books on his desk.I leaned against the doorway and watched him wrote on his notebook while there was a powerpoint presentation on his laptop.“Son,” I called him again, “dinner is ready.”He didn’t speak at first. He only jotted down his notes again.“I’m full,” he answered like the usual.It’s always been his response. Like he already choreographed the way he would answer my statements and questions.I sighed again. “It’s your birthday, Izen Cedric.”That’s when he stopped his movements. He turned around while still seated on his swivel chair. His thick-rimmed glasses still showed his dead eyes that I just got used to seeing.“So what?” he asked in a monotone.Napaayos ako ng tayo. I shut my eyes close. Nagmulat ako at

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

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.

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

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
