29AngryJust like I expected. I sigh and get off my bed. Arthur left just as I expected, at least I anticipated this… but it still hurt more than I thought it would.I went to the company and mom is already there. Last night when I couldn’t sleep I decided to text her about her offer and I said yes.She’s looking very excited right now, and even though it hurts my heart that I’m the one who’s adjust and leave the company this is still okay, at least I will get to spend time with my mom.“Mom.” I hugged her.“It’s good to see you.” She said.“You always see me, mom and you will when I move near your office.” I said that made her giggle.“Me too. I already told my secretary to ready your office. Just tell me what you want and I will work on it.” I nodded.We’re attending another meeting that apparently Arthur is a part of. I promise myself not to think about him the entire time but not now that he’s teasing me.He keeps asking for my opinion and it’s making me angry. I feel like he’s m

30Vacation“Do you guys hang out like this?” Alex asked while we buy some foods to take.“Hmm, nope. This is the first time that we’re buying something to take in the travel.” I answered truthfully.We always travel separately or sometimes by air so we really don’t take food with us as we can buy it when we arrive at our destination.“Wow, rich people are different when going into vacation.” I shook my head when he said that, I just recently found out that he’s one of mom’s secretary.I can’t believe she set me up to him. He must’ve something in him that mom saw for her to do such things.“I can’t believe, we’re finally going together with Emily.” Amy said as we all entered the van that we’re all be using.I laugh at her and shook my head. I always decline whether they plan on taking vacation but now I need this. I need energy and I need good things in my life because lately it has been chaotic and I don’t even want to think about those things.“You rarely go to vacation?” Alex asked

31Stares“Are you okay? You’ve been silent since earlier.” Alexis said.We’re all going back to our room as my friends are really drunk especially Jessie that made me think why because she has a high tolerance.“I’m fine, just tired. We’ve done many activities since we arrive.” I said that he believed.After my encounter with Arthur I left him there. I still can’t believe I let him go after what I’ve been through but I guess that’s the right thing to do because it’s the truth that I’m the other woman and even though I want him for myself I know he still loves Flora and they’re meant for each other.**The few days were not as wild as the first day. It was more of relaxing and just chill days with friends. So, now that we’re going home I can’t help but think what will happen to me now. Do I continue getting to know Alexis? I actually don’t know what will happen to me for the first time in a while.I always know what I want but right now I’m lost and I’m scared for me because what if I

32Articles“What are you doing here?” Mom massage her temple when I open the door for her. “Emily, I almost went crazy trying to figure out where you are.” She said and sit on the living room.I sigh and went to the kitchen to give her water. “I’m sorry, I just want to be alone.” I said and gave her the water.“What if something happen to you? The medias are going crazy and we don’t even know how to calm down.” She said after drinking the water and putting it in the table.I sit by her side and hug her to the side. “I’m fine mom. I just want to escape for a moment.” I whispered while she kissed my hair.“Why don’t you go abroad? I think it’s better that they won’t see you and they might forget about it and move on.” She said and I immediately shake my head.“Mom, I already told you that I don’t want to go abroad. Plus, if the news didn’t broke I would’ve move on from Arthur and continue my life like he didn’t happen but, he just won’t let me escape.” I said.“Then what are you plann

33ChaoticLast night, I did some thinking and I think Flora is ready to fight me. No, the fight is already starting and I can’t go down like this especially that this is what she wants for me to stay silent for people to think of her a victim.Yes, in some point she’s a victim but why is she only attacking me? She did things to that hurt their marriage, why didn’t she mention that? To make me the bad guy and to make it seem that I’m the one who broke their marriage but the truth is it was already broken and I know that. She just doesn’t know that I saw them at the parking lot that time when I wasn’t in an agreement with Arthur.People are already assuming I’m the worst because what’s worse than being a mistress, right? But they haven’t seen me in my best. So I decided to show up at work today like nothing happen. I smirk as I think of the married couple’s reaction.After using me, Arthur wants me gone and that’s the case for his wife too. She even tainted his name just to get rid of

34Her“What?” was all I can say. “Alex, you’re scaring me.” I said as he near my face.“Why did you make me think that you like me Emily? I was starting to think that I like you despite the fact that we’re different. You made me feel things and experience being with you but what is this? You’re a mistress?” He said like he’s really hurt.I can only stare at him because I don’t know what to say to him and also because I don’t think I need to explain myself how I got myself into the position where I’m the other woman. I think he deserve to know why I made him think I like him. Actually, I really like him. I was starting to think that I have the possibility to like someone that’s not Arthur, that’s why I was trying to act like I do like him to know how we would react but seeing him like this makes me want to rethink about all of those.“Why?!” He hold both of my shoulder that made me shiver. I’m scared, he’s not the Alexis that I know. I thought he wouldn’t question me about this issue

35FaceI look at dad who’s calling Flora’s dad for the appointment we set for today. I kind of feel nervous seeing her after all of the articles and all of the fights.I under estimated her capabilities. It is really true that you can do anything when it comes to love and she’s desperate because she’s not just losing the love of her life but she’s also in the verge of losing their business due to bankruptcy.I don’t know the reason for their business to fail. I don’t know if it’s really because of us but either way she chose the wrong fight to pick just to save their business.I gulp as I heard dad mention Flora’s name. It’s nothing serious as I saw him laughing on the phone but I’m nervous because I’m really going to see her and confront her.“Are you sure about this?” Mom asked that made me look at her and I nodded. “I don’t feel at ease.”“Mom, I’m a big girl now. Don’t worry about me. Just think of this as like sending me to work. Just trust me on this one.”Dad is approaching us

36News“What are we going to tell her?”“She’s stress. We should tell her calmly or should we tell her?”My brows creased as I heard some muffled voices. I look at the ceiling feeling nauseous, I wander my eyes to the surrounding and realize that I’m in a hospital and my parents are in the corner talking silently. I try to move but I can’t.“Mom.” I said in almost like a whisper that made my parents look at me with wide eyes.“Oh! My! Emily, you’re finally awake.” Mom said and holding my hands tight. “Go, call a doctor.” Mom said that made dad rushed outside probably calling the doctor.“How are you feeling?” She said and hold my hand.I gesture to give me a basin and she immediately grabbed one in the corner and I vomit like I got drunk last night.“What happen?” I hold my neck as I felt a slight sting because I vomit.Mom bit her lips and look at the door when it made a noise. Dad cane in with the doctor and when I look at mom searching for answers but she only smile as the doctor
