تسجيل الدخولMy husband, Matthew Glover, fabricates a scandal to help his childhood sweetheart, reporter Melanie Reed, boost her numbers. "Mrs. Glover Sleeps Around—Multiple Affairs Lead to Repeated Miscarriages." He uses it as a gimmick to grab attention. Next thing I know, my name's in the mud and the internet's tearing me to pieces. When I bring up divorce, Matthew says I'm blowing things out of proportion. "Melanie just started at the TV station. If she doesn't deliver, her coworkers will laugh at her. You're just doing her a favor. It's not like you're actually losing anything." I don't even bother arguing with him. I simply push the divorce agreement toward him. "If you want to help her, go ahead. But we're getting divorced!"

Dear diary,
Paano nga ba nalalaman kapag sakim ang isang tao sa pera? ano nga ba ang nagiging dahilan kung bakit nagiging sakim ang isang tao sa pera?
Matagal bago ko nasagot ang sariling tanong, pero alam ko naman na mag kakaiba tayo ng pananaw pagdating sa pera.
May ibang ginagamit ang pera sa pag-aaral sa pera, may ibang pang suhol ang pera, at ang iba naman ay iniipon nila ang mga pera nila.
Pero hindi lahat nabibiyayaan ng pera ang iba pa nga kailangan pang magkayod sa pag tatrabaho para lang may pera silang pangbili ng ulam at pang baon sa mga anak saludong saludo ako sa mga taong may prinsipyo at higit sa lahat mahal na mahal nila ang pamilya nila kahit hindi sila ganun karangya.
Hindi ko naman naranasang mawalan ng pera nabibili ko lahat ng gusto, nakakapag-aral rin ako sa mga prestihiyusong paaaralan. Pero kahit kailan hindi ko naramdamang buo ako nakakatawa mang sabihin pero naiinggit ako sa mga pamilyang nakikita ko sa parke na magkakasamang nag tatawanan, magkakasamang nag aawitan.
Pero aminin natin may negative side rin ang pera lalo na sa mga mayayaman, i mean hindi ko naman nilalahat pero lalo na yung mga nasa taas? They more valued the money than their family, yes! i was in that situation, i was surrounded by greedy people including there my father i despise them.
I was enjoying my time when i heard a knock.
" Hey honey what are you doing? " i immediately closed my notebook and put it under my bed before i opened the door.
" Mom? do you need anything? " kinakabahan kong tanong.
" Can mommy come in? " she sweetly smiled i widely open my door so she can come in.
" Are you still mad at mommy hmm? " habang sinusuklay ang mahaba kong buhok.
" Mommy why daddy so being greedy at money? " napatigil ito sa panunuklay at pinaharap ako.
" Listen to mommy okay? " tumango ako at nag hihintay lang sa kanyang sasabihin.
" Daddy's not being greedy honey pinag lalaban niya lang ang sarili niya dahil pinag hirapan niya yun he deserves what he got today hmm? "
I was just in my eight grade that time, and the only i can do is to keep my mom's word, but because of my dad's issue i was bullied in school minsan umuuwi akong may pasa sa braso o kung hindi naman ay magulo ang buhok at may kalmot sa mukha.
"Jusko samantha anak anong nangyari sa mukha mo inaaway ka nanaman ba ng mga kaklase mo? " hindi ako sumagot sa halip ay umakyat ako sa taas at nag kulong, at the very young age i experienced it all, but i didn't get a care from my dad instead of protecting me, he will just scold me ni hindi niya nga inaalam na kung sino ang nauna ang mahalaga lang sa kanya ang reputasyon niya, ako lang ang laging mali.
" You spoiled brat child how many times do i have to tell you not mind them?! " mahigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sakin na para bang anumang oras babaliin niya ang maliit kong braso.
" Peter! stop that! nasasaktan ang anak mo! " agad akong niyakap ni mommy ng marahan akong itinulak ni daddy.
" Talagang masasaktan ang batang yan kapag nalaman kong nakipag away nanaman yan. " sinamaan lang ako neto ng tingin bago umalis.
" Shh mommy's here love i'm sorry. " nanginginig ang kamay kong inilayo ang katawan bago tumakbo paakyat sa kwarto at ni lock yun.
"Samantha anak please open the door anak. "
NAG patuloy ang ganoong senaryo hanggang sa makapag tapos ako ng pag aaral sa high school at kahit may mga kapatid na ako mas tinuon ko ang atensyon ko sa mga kapatid.
"Rain o my gosh what happen to your arm! " sinuri ko ang braso niya habang inaayos ang buhok niya.
" Ah hahaha nagkasakitan lang kami ng kaklase ko sa isang laro ate. " kinakabahang sagot alam kong sinabi niya lang yun dahil ayaw niya lang lumaki ang gulo kaya tumango nalang ako.
" Nasaan ba si cloud malalagot tayo kay dad kapag naunahan siyang umuwi. "
" May tatapusin lang siyang project ate kaya malalate na siyang makauwi- sana dito nalang niya tinapos sa bahay tutulungan ko naman siya. " hindi na ito kumibo at yumuko nalang.
" Ate may concealer kaba? takpan nalang natin yung pasa ko baka makita ni daddy. " sandali kukunin ko lang sa kwarto. "
LUMAKI kaming takot kay daddy hindi siya katulad sa ibang tatay na mapag aruga, naiinggit at the same time naaawa ako sa mga kapatid ko dahil lumaki sila sa isang mapag malupit na ama.
" Dad! wag mong sasaktan si cloud daddy! " napatili ako ng sinampal niya ng malakas ang kapatid ko.
" Lumayo na kayo ate, rain baka sa- " hindi ko na kaya ang ginagawa niya aakmang lalapitan ko sila ng biglang dumating si mommy at malakas niyang sinampal si dad.
" M-mom. "
" You fucking asshole! sarili mong anak sinasaktan mo! anong klase kang ama?! akala ko magbabago kana akala ko hindi na nila mararanasan ang impyernong naranasan ni samantha tiniis ko lahat ng pag mamalupit mo dahil akala ko para samin lahat ng ginagawa mo pero sobra na toh! " hinila ako ni mommy sa likod niya parang bigla itong natauhan walang ano ano ay umalis ito.
AKALA ko noon magbabago na siya sana pala hindi nalang ako umasa wala si mommy nun nasa ibang bansa para mag asikaso ng business kitang kita ng dalawang mata ko ang kababuyang ginagawa nila sa for godsake! sa bahay pa nila yun ginawa mga hayop! para akong pinagkaisahan ng araw na yun dahil sa mismong araw ng kababuyang ginagawa nila yun ibinalita rin samin na wala na si mommy. Para akong nabingi sa mga narinig ko.

Hindi ko na alam ang mga sumunod na nangyari ng bigla nalang nandilim ang paningin ko.
Unti unti kong iminulat ang aking mata natagpuan ang sarili sa isang okupadong silid ng isang hospital nakita ko ang isang nurse na nag checheck ng aking IV.
" Mabuti at nagising na po kayo tatawagin ko lang ang doctor niyo. " hindi pa man ako tuluyang nakaksagot ng umalis ito. tulala lang akong naka tingin sa kisame inaalala ang mga nangyari bago ako nawalan ng malay hindi ko mapigilang maluha, mom's gone how will we survive this without her?
" Good thing your awake now. " mabilis kong pinahid ang ang luha bago nilingon ang doctor.
" May sakit po ba ako doc ? " tumawa lang ito may saltik ba ang doctor na toh?
" Normal ang mga nararanasan mo nitong mga nagdaang araw pero kailangan mong mag ingat dahil mahina ang kapit ng bata. I suggest you visit your ob gyne for your check up. Niresitahan na kita ng mga vitamans na kailangang araw araw mong inumin- " para akong nabingi sa mga sinabi.
" P-pardon doc? " napatigil ito sa pag sasalita at masuri akong tiningnan.
" Oh sorry mukhang nakalimutan kong sabihin congratulations your 3 weeks pregnant. " tuluyan na ata akong nabingi sa narinig h- hindi toh pwede... napababa ang tingin ko sa tyan at dahan dahan itong hinaplos, paano kita maaalalagaan kung ako mismo kulang sa kaalaman pano maging isang mabuting ina?
" Samantha anak buti at gising kana heto dinalhan kita ng-" nay naiiyak kong saad nakangiti itong lumingon na agad ding nawala lumapit ito sakin at marahang niyakap.
" Kung ano mang pinag dadaanan mo ngayon anak tiyak na malalagpasan mo rin iyan. "
Kakayanin ko kahit mahirap hindi lang para sakin kundi para sa magiging kinabukasan ng mga kapatid ko at ng magiging anak ko.
Three days after Matthew was taken into custody by the tax authorities, the case against him for tax evasion was all but airtight.With extensive documentation in hand, Glover Group now faced more than just a suspension of business and steep financial penalties. Matthew himself was likely headed for prison.Tax fraud was only the tip of the iceberg. Investigators had also uncovered evidence that he paid off officials to secure Melanie's position and faked her academic credentials.The scandal had since erupted online.I unlocked my phone and scrolled through the latest news, amused by what I saw.I had to hand it to the internet. These people really know how to dig. It only took a few days for them to dig up everything on Melanie.Back in high school, she'd dated some thug, ended up pregnant, and stole class funds to pay for an abortion. The school caught wind of it and expelled her immediately.Melanie had even drugged the director of the TV station just to sleep with him and s
Matthew said, "Aurelia, I'll admit that when it comes to work, you know your stuff. That's exactly why you should be the one to handle the statement with the tax authorities."He pushed me forward.I sneered. "And why the hell would I? Do I own even a single share of Glover Group? And who exactly are you to me? I owe you nothing."He made it sound so reasonable, but I knew exactly what this was. Trouble was brewing, and he wanted me to take the fall for it.Seeing that his tough approach had failed, Matthew changed tactics and softened his tone. "I know I messed up before. I'm sorry, alright? After everything we've—"I didn't let him finish. Turning away, I slammed the door shut in Matthew and Melanie's faces.Matthew tried to turn to me for help, but the tax authorities cut him off and told him to cooperate with their investigation.Just then, Melanie glanced at her phone and instantly grabbed Matthew's arm like she'd lost it, panic written all over her face. "Matt, what do we
I blocked every way Matthew could reach me. There was no way for him to get to me now.Lately, the media had been all over him, churning out headlines like "Glover Group Busted for Tax Evasion", "Matthew's Affair Exposed", and "Fake Products Linked to Glover Group".Every time I checked my phone, his name was right at the top three on the trending list.I wasn't just sitting on my hands either. I'd been flooding inboxes with my resume, and bit by bit, the interviews started coming in.I was at home, going over my interview prep, when the door flew open with a kick. Matthew barged in, grabbed me by the collar, and yanked me up."Why'd you stab me in the back, Aurelia? What did I ever do to deserve this? We built Glover Group together, and now you're tearing it apart with your own hands. Doesn't that break your heart?""Break my heart?" I blinked at him. "What did I ever get out of that company? Why should I give a damn?"His grip slackened. The fire in his eyes wavered, then fade
When Matthew brought Melanie back from the sticks, the first thing he did was get her a place right by the city's TV station, like he just knew that was where she'd end up working.But as far as I remembered, Melanie's family had been so poor her parents couldn't afford to send her to school. She'd barely had any formal education.So, how did her resume list enough qualifications to get her a job at the TV station?There was only one possible explanation.I picked up a change of clothes from the hotel gift shop and headed to the restroom to get changed. I ignored Melanie's hateful glare and didn't even look in Matthew's direction.Once I was done, the hotel manager came over. Now that things had calmed down, he asked if we wanted to involve the police.I told him no and walked right out.Matthew snapped out of it and called after me, "What happened to you, Aurelia? You used to be sensible and understanding. And now you want a divorce? When did our love turn into something so wea
The whole divorce thing just kind of died off. I was about to file on my own when Matthew called out of nowhere. Then he texted me an address and said to come immediately.I figured he'd finally made up his mind and was ready to end things. So, I grabbed my bag, jumped in a cab, and rushed over, on
I stirred awake, still groggy and heavy with sleep. My pillow was soaked. I must've been crying in my sleep.At some point, Matthew had slipped back in without me noticing. The second he saw me packing my suitcase by the door, his face tightened with frustration."Aurelia, how much longer are you
Out of Matthew's line of sight, that so-called "young lady" shot me a smug look.We were only two months apart, but somehow, in his eyes, Melanie was the sweet, innocent lady, while I was just the washed-up woman whose reputation meant nothing to him.Keeping my distance from the two of them, I tu
To help Melanie boost her numbers, Matthew spread rumors that I'd slept with multiple men and had seven miscarriages.The endless online abuse that followed drove me into depression. When I couldn't take it anymore, I told Matthew I wanted a divorce.He chucked the divorce agreement on the floor,
