Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Mafia's Unwanted Wife: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

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?"

"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 sat in a daze, staring out of my bedroom window. The incidents that happened from that night were still fresh in my mind, and when I looked back on them, it felt like it had happened just yesterday. Despite the time that had passed, everything still felt so fresh. A bitter smile crossed my face when my mom's news replayed in my mind. I looked at the stars above, sparkling in the night sky. They seemed to be whispering to each other, a beautiful sight to behold. I slowly closed my eyes and felt the cool breeze brushing against my face. Tears welled up in my eyes again. Chris and Lucas were on the brink of death, and so was I. We were all disrupted due to Haze's thirst for revenge. But then... if I hadn't left the condo that night to meet Haze, none of this would have happened. There's no one to blame but me, right? I don't really know the exact reason behind Haze's actions, apart from the death of his younger sister and his blaming Lucas for it. I had stayed in the hospital for a

"Then abort it!" Lucas shouted. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Are you even hearing yourself?" I asked. My voice were trembling. "Lucas, this is your child! It came from you, and you're telling me to abort it? What kind of father are you?" I questioned him. "You're asking me what I should do with that? Fuck that child. If you don't want to take care of it on your own then might as well kill it. As simple as that. Stop pestering and involve me in your nonsense problems. I have a lot of more important things to prioritize than that damn child," he retorted. I couldn't help but laugh as I looked at him. "More important things? Seriously, Lucas! Is drinking alcohol more important to you? Is that what matters to you? Are you saying that our child is not important? We're talking about your child here! Our child! I am willing to stand by your side, especially in your difficult times, but right now—" "We're already divorced, Aurora. What more do you want? You used to drive me awa

It was around three in the morning when I received a call from Lucas, who hadn't contacted me after he had kicked me out the previous night. Half-asleep, I groggily answered the call. "Lucas," I mumbled, still half-asleep. "Come there at my condo," he ordered. My eyebrows furrowed, and I struggled to open my heavy eyelids that which were a little bit blurry cause of the sudden waking up. I had just fallen asleep due to my busy schedule, taking care of my parents, who had been extremely busy in the past few weeks. I wasn't sure what exactly they were working on, but I am sure that it was a hundred percent related to the case that they are solving. Nothing new about it but the only difference was that, they are too busy in this certain case that I don't even have a chance to talk to them because sometimes I'll wake up and they're gone, they'll come home when I'm already asleep and sometimes they're almost here at home for a while as if they don't have time to rest. Despite their e
