The Younger Wife

On the day Raina Whitmore makes the Helios Rich List, she smiles for the cameras and declares, "I wouldn't be here without my secretary, Kieran Vale. He's the most important person in my life." While she confesses her love in the interview, I lie in a hospital bed, worn out and fading. I'm her husband, the one who's held her company together all these years. But I don't get a single word of thanks. My daughter, Talia Hart, even looks at me with pure disdain. "Dad, you've held Mom and Uncle Kieran back long enough. It's time you let go and let them be together." Rage surges through me. My chest tightens, and everything goes black. When I open my eyes, I'm back 30 years earlier, standing in the Whitmore residence to choose my fiancee. This time, I don't hesitate. I skip right over Raina and choose her aunt, Elara Whitmore.

I was staring at Leion. He was kneeling in front of me, begging like he would lose half of his life when I left him. "This is what you want, from the very beginning, right?" I said, while smiling from ear to ear, before I sipped on my red wine. I didn't know that red wine taste so sweet, when I feel the victory, I know I will win this one, because loathe makes me stronger, I will feel nothing, if not anger, resentment and pain. I am numb, and the day Leion hurt my feelings, over and over again. But now, look at him, acting like he loves me and he cares for me, that if his feelings are true, why couldn't he do it then? "Aubrey, I am begging you, please—" "Do you remember the day I begged you to stay, because I am weak and tired from all of your bullshits, I gave you patience and all the understanding, and now, do you think all of the so called kindness that you show me lately is enough to forgive all the things you've done to me?" "Why are you so heartless?" Leion said while his tears running down to his cheeks, a crocodile tears, I will never be taken away again. "My love, you're the reason, now deal with it."

I love my secretary.” Iyan ang eksaktong sinabi ni Lincoln sa kan’ya at iniwan na lamang siya basta-basta. Ginawa niya ang lahat para maayos ang kanilang sitwasyon, halos lumuhod siya at magmakaawa sa lalaki ngunit hindi man lang ito naawa.

Isa sa pinakamasakit para sa isang babae ay halos ibigay mo na ang lahat sa isang lalaki, pero hindi pa pala iyon sapat. Labis-labis ang pagmamahal na ibinigay ni Diana para kay Jeremy. Wala na siyang itinira para sa sarili niya. Kahit alam niya na hindi pa rin nakaka-move on si Jeremy sa ex girlfriend nito ay hindi iyon inisip ni Diana. Kaya naman nang alukin siya ng ama ni Jeremy na magpakasal kay Jeremy ay hindi na nagdalawang-isip pa si Diana. Pumayag siya agad. Akala niya ay makakalimot din si Jeremy, na mahahalin din siya nito katulad ng pagmamahal nito sa ex girlfriend. Pero iyon ang malaking pagkakamali na nagawa ni Diana.

I gasped when he tightened his grip on my hands above my head. His intimidating demeanor was undoubtedly frightening. But I was not ready to give in. I squirmed and grunted out, “Let me go.” “You are not allowed to tell me what I should do,” he hissed dangerously. “I do as I please,” he hissed threateningly. "And this... you and I. I'll decide whether or not to leave you." ----------------- Molly Sanders, an ambitious and independent woman, had been in love with Lance since she was a child.
