LOGIN“Are you really leaving, Matias?” Jenia asked with teary eyes. “Are you going to leave me again?”
Matias let out a sigh. He stopped packing his belongings in the suitcase. “I already told you about this. After Mateo’s burial, I will go home.” He resumed what he was doing.
Two weeks had passed since Mateo passed away. His body cou
“Matias? What are you doing here?” Lirah asked in surprise. She even stepped back as he approached her.“I heard you’re going for your check-up. Can I accompany you?” Matias said with a smile.Lirah still looked at her husband with confusion. She glanced at Myrna, who was right beside her. Even Myrna was puzzled to see Matias in front of them. Lirah took a deep breath and tried to calm herself as her heart started to race.“Why?”“I’m... back. I’m not leaving anymore, Lirah.”“Huh?” Lirah furrowed her brow even more. “W-What do you mean? I thought you’d already chosen them?”Matias let
“Are you really leaving, Matias?” Jenia asked with teary eyes. “Are you going to leave me again?”Matias let out a sigh. He stopped packing his belongings in the suitcase. “I already told you about this. After Mateo’s burial, I will go home.” He resumed what he was doing.Two weeks had passed since Mateo passed away. His body couldn’t withstand the treatments anymore. It was painful for Matias to see his son in such a condition, especially for Jenia, who had been by Mateo’s side for a long time. So, Matias decided to stay there for a few days. However, as soon as he arrived, he talked to Jenia about returning to the Philippines. He had contemplated his decision for several days and now he was certain of whom he truly loved. And it was none other than Lirah. He had only stayed there for a few days out of symp
Days passed, and Lirah tried her best to cope with everything. She learned from her mother-in-law that Matias had already returned to Italy. She was still sad about what happened between them, but she was trying to accept it. She couldn't blame him if he truly didn't want to be with her anymore. She just prepared herself for the arrival of the annulment papers that Matias would send her."Lirah, my child! How are you, my princess?" Don Fernan greeted his daughter. He immediately hugged her."I'm okay, Papa. How about you? I brought some fruits and wine for you.""Wine? Is this the business you're starting?"Lirah took a box of wine from her bag and handed it to her father. "Here. This is our final product, Papa. And I want you to be the first one to taste it for me."
Lirah was lost in thought as she gazed out the window. She felt like her life had suddenly gone back to the beginning, or perhaps even worsened because now she had lost interest in everything. Even eating required her to force herself to do it.She touched her stomach. She was pregnant. Instead of being happy, she felt the opposite. Matias was going to leave her. She tried to convince herself that they were bound to reach this point because they were only arranged to be together. But she couldn't help but feel hurt. In the short time she had spent with Matias, she had grown to love him. She had hoped that everything would turn out to be real. It did happen, but it was fleeting.Tears welled up in Lirah's eyes once again. She had felt so much joy when she saw Matias again. But now, she couldn't believe what had happened.
"Where is that bastard? Where is Matias?!" Don Manuel shouted angrily as he walked down the hallway. He hurriedly made his way to his son's office. It was early morning when he learned from his secretary about Matias' plan to separate from Lirah."Don Manuel—""Open the door," Don Manuel said threateningly.Matias' secretary gulped. She had firmly informed everyone that he wouldn't accept any visitors that day, trying to finish his tasks before returning to Italy."B-But, Don—"Don Manuel didn't let the young woman finish. He grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the door. He quickly entered the room and saw Matias sitting at his desk."Matias! What is the meaning o
Lirah sat down, breathing heavily. She quickly drank water from the fridge, feeling like her head was spinning, and at any moment, she might vomit again."What's happening to me?" she asked herself, feeling confused. She held her chest and cleared her throat, but she felt another wave of nausea and immediately drank more water."Lirah! Are you okay? What happened to you? Are you feeling unwell? Didn't you like my cooking? Oh my God! You look pale!" Myrna said, worriedly. She touched Lirah's forehead to check her temperature. "You're fine. Why are you vomiting?"Lirah shook her head. "I don't know, Nay. After tasting the food, my stomach suddenly turned.""Did you have breakfast earlier?""Um... yes. Weren't you having breakfa
