Chapter 70

I was walking with Andres when we passed by a group of elderly women whispering among themselves. "The rumors are true, that woman really is a flirt." "It's a wonder sir still puts up with her." "Let me tell you, she must be good in bed for sir to like her! My daughter Jessa is way prettier than that woman sir picked up from who knows where. If she hadn't trapped our boss, she might be my daughter-in-law by now," said one woman loudly, who turned out to be Jessa's mother. "Julieta, watch your mouth," one of her companions scolded her. "I don't care, even if she hears me!" she replied arrogantly. I couldn't take it anymore and approached them. I was smiling, while Andres just watched. "How are you? Looks like you're making me the topic of your gossip session," I said to them. The others fell silent as I got closer. "Yes, we are talking about you! Why would sir go for you when you're just a prostitute?" she snapped at me. I smirked, "Because he got me as a virgin... th

"Sir, you need to teach your wife a lesson. She's been seeing other men; how can you stand it?" Jessa complained to Demi. "And what makes you say that?" he asked her. "She's often with Andres, sir. They have a relationship. We even saw her at Sir Sandro's house. Why did you hire a prostitute in the first place?" she ranted while following him to the stable. "My wife would never do that, Jessa. Don’t slander her. By the way, I need the financial files for tomorrow. I've noticed the farm's profits seem to be shrinking," he said. Jessa was surprised by his statement but continued to insist on her accusations about Maine. "But sir, it's all over the farm that she and Andres are having an affair. Even the elders say that woman flirts with everyone." "Alright, let's do this. Are you sure about your claims?" "Of course, sir!" "Okay, if we find out you're telling the truth, I'll have my wife imprisoned and divorce her. But if not, I'll have you and your family imprisoned. Is tha

Everyone gathered at the basketball court, and Jessa's family was there, smirking, looking like they would eat me alive upon seeing me. All the police officers were in civilian clothes. You wouldn't think they were police officers. We had a lawyer with us, and so did Jessa's family. The purpose of that meeting was to put an end to the nonsense from Jessa's family. The barangay captain and the tanods were also there. They were the mediators. Demi stepped into the center to speak. "Now, I want to make everything clear. I don't want you to think that I am taking my spouse's side. However, it is not right for you to spread rumors about him. You don't know him to be calling him a flirt and other things. You have blown a single joke out of proportion," Demi began. "Why do we see her flirting with Sir Sandro?" Lea asked. "That's right," Jessa added. There was a murmur of agreement among the crowd, claiming they had seen me flirting with various people. Tito Sandro stood up and

"So, now, everything is clear. There really was exploitation here! You even brought your lawyer, huh?" That was Demi, "you know, Jessa, if I liked you, I would have left Matilda for you a long time ago. But no matter how much you undress in front of me, I don't feel even the slightest desire for you, and it's because of your bad attitude!" "Now you know what kind of woman my niece is," that was Uncle Sandro, "so I hope you'll stop spreading rumors. Let this be a lesson to you! We may have been silent until now, but we've been acting legally. We didn't want it to come to this, but you forced us... you pushed us to take action against this nonsense." "Bu—but sir, please consider our contributions here on the farm!" Jessa said, clearly agitated. "We've helped and supported many people here!" "What help?" Demi said, crossing her arms. "When people are sick, we help them get to the hospital!" Jessa replied. "I have the record book from your office, Jessa!" Demi said, holding up a

"You charge a hundred pesos each week from the workers here. With about three hundred workers, that means you're collecting 30,000 pesos every week," Demi began. "Those who resist are harassed and you increase the deductions from their wages. A worker's salary depends on the amount of harvest and the animals sold each week. We slaughter pigs and cows to sell at the market. Ideally, a person should earn three to four thousand pesos per week. However, based on this, you're only paying them 1,500 to 2,000 pesos, which means you're skimming off their earnings." "That's not true!" Jessa shouted, "you're making that up!" "Yes, those records are old!" Adora shouted. "Here are your passbooks. How can you save hundreds of thousands in a week when your salary, Jessa, is only twenty thousand pesos per month, including your mother's?" I asked them. "You, woman, ever since you came here, this place has been in chaos!" Jessa snapped at me, "we were fine before you arrived!" "It's a good

Chapter 75

Demi and I agreed that I would manage her farm, and we appointed Andres and Arman as Officers-in-Charge (OIC). Now that I have completed my studies, I am supporting Olga's education as part of fulfilling my promise. Many were pleased to learn that I would personally oversee the farm. The children here really like me. I also established a cooperative to help elderly individuals with financial needs. I continued the system of contributing 100 pesos weekly, which goes directly into their passbooks. They have the option to increase or maintain their contributions as they see fit. Salaries are still distributed weekly, according to their needs. We have our own accountant, and Marissa and Olga assist me in the office every Saturday. My spouse comes home weekly or every two weeks, depending on the workload. I can say that my life here in the province is fulfilling. I can now do the things I love. One day, Demi came home with a woman and a man. He said they were investors. "Demi

"We need or you need?" I retorted. "What do you mean?" he asked, his forehead creasing. "Demi, I'm not blind. I saw how that woman was flirting with you, right in front of her husband!" I scolded him. "You're just being paranoid, there was nothing to it!" he replied. "Nothing? So, would it be okay with you if I leaned my head on another man's shoulder?" I asked him. He paused, taken aback. "Go ahead, if you say it's fine, I'll accept your investors! I already told you I don't need investors because I can provide the money if necessary!" "But we need to mingle with other businesspeople. We need to know the flow of business outside!" He insisted. "Fine, do whatever you want! There's nothing to discuss, since you've already made up your mind. Anyway, this is your thing, not mine, so do what you want!" I left him. "Maine! I'm still talking to you! Maine!!" he called out to me. "I don't have time to talk to you! Talk to Anna if you want!" I went into our room. I was so piss

"Why don't you invite the investors here?" I said to Demi. "Really?" he was surprised by what I said. "Yes, even tomorrow... invite them," I replied with a frown. "Why do you seem angry?" he asked me. "I'm upset, but I realized, this farm is yours. I'm just staying in your house, right? So, it's okay," I said while drinking coffee. "But... I just wanted to teach you—" "Don't continue. It's fine. Your house, your rules," I said, organizing the papers. "I'm just helping with your business, thinking I was part of it... that's why I acted that way. But I realized, I'm not part of it, I'm just like your employee," I replied. "Don't talk like that. That's not—" "Don't talk to me, please! Just invite them here tomorrow." I left her. "Where are you going?" he asked me. "To rest, why?" I asked with a frown. "Our room is over there, isn't it?" he pointed to his room's door. "Oh, this is my room now," I said, closing and locking the door. I heard him knock. "I'm sorry..

As I entered the house, I saw Olga pulling out my spouse's suitcase. "Where are you going?" I asked, hoping she was the one leaving and not my spouse. "Senyorita said we're moving to a new house," she replied. "What? Moving?" I was shocked by what she said. I hurried to meet my spouse. "Where are you going?" "I'll send you the papers once I arrange our annulment. I'm leaving you," she said. "What? W-why?" I asked, bewildered. "I promised myself I would never be deceived by anyone again, even if it's just micro-cheating. And I didn't like that you chose them over me. Thirdly, you were ready to leave me when you knew I was upset with you. A lot can happen in a day, Demi. You chose others over your own spouse! Why get investors when you can run the business yourself? That's foolish! If you can't listen to me, I don't want to be with you anymore." "Maine, please!" I knelt in front of her, hugging her legs. "Demi," Sandro intervened, "let her go for now." "Don't leave me,

"Someone sent me flowers? I can't believe someone sent me flowers, a week after I got home. 'Who are they from?' "From sir---" Olga started to answer, but I cut her off. "Just throw them away... I can buy as many of those as I want," I told her. "B-but..." "You can have them if you like," I replied. "We could put them on the altar, senyorita," she suggested. "Olga, I've told you to just call me Maine, like everyone else. Have you heard any of the other household staff call me senyorita?" I said to her. "It's because you're my employer," she said, embarrassed. "I'm not just your employer, we're friends. You're my assistant, but you're also my friend. I don't want any boundaries between us. As long as I feel your respect, it's fine with me, even if you just call me by my name," I answered. "T-thank you, even though it feels a bit awkward—Mi—Maine," she stuttered. "That's better... and one more thing, if it's from my—ex-husband, auto-reject! I don't want him to have a
