After that brief exchange between Jac and Hernan—who, I found out, used to be a bodyguard too before becoming a son-in-law of the De Vedras after getting their daughter pregnant—I finally decided to head back to the hospital.

Now, we’re on our way, but it feels like the ride is taking forever.

My body is slowly giving out—I can feel the exhaustion creeping in, the fatigue weighing on me after the fear I experienced earlier.

I really thought that was the end for me. I thought I’d be one of the ones hit by a bullet. I thought I’d never get the chance to see Nelson again, to tell him how much I love him.

Even now—though the terrifying moment is long over—I can’t stop replaying the scenes in my head.

The darkness, Hernan’s threats, Atty. Larson’s bloodied, beaten body. The feeling that it could’ve been my last day, that I might never see Nelson again—that’s what’s torturing me now.

I fiddled with my ear. It’s like I can still hear the deafening gunshots echoing in my head, and I can still

    DIEGO POVI could not stop smiling as I watched my wife’s chubby cheeks. I pressed kisses to them again and again, but she still refused to wake up.“My wife… wake up,” I coaxed, gently pinching her cheeks. Her face had filled out along with her belly.“My wife, we’re going to be late for your OB appointment,” I added, tapping her shoulder.Nothing.She had grown lazier these days. Ever since she gained weight, moving had become optional.If I did not make her walk every morning, she would match the water drum on the island.She was already full-term. That was why today’s appointment mattered. Of all days, she chose today to be extra stubborn.Time really flew. It felt like yesterday when we found out she was pregnant. I even spent two months sleeping on the floor because she could not stand my smell. She did not want me beside her, but she also did not want me out of sight.“So you really don’t want to wake up,” I whispered, rubbing her belly before nibbling her ear. I even sucked on

    My husband whipped his head toward me, panic flashing across his face. His eyes darted between me and the road.“Why?” he asked.“Just stop the car. Now. Unless you want to ruin our day,” I snapped, already turning away.We had passed what I saw, and that alone was enough to ignite my temper. The car slowed, but parking proved to be difficult. Cars were lined up everywhere. Finding space took too long.I wanted out. I felt restless. Like I was on fire, unable to sit still. I knew it was the pregnancy. The irritability. The sudden urges. Impatient when I did not get what I wanted.I hated raising my voice at my husband. I really did. But whatever I saw pulled at me hard. When he did not stop right away, my frustration flared.My hand was already on the door handle. I kept looking back, afraid of losing sight of it.“My wife, wait for me!” he called as soon as the car stopped. I jumped out without answering, my focus locked on my target. I nearly ran.“Hey. Wait. Where are you going? Wh

    VIANNA MAY POVI froze when I saw Romeo’s parents outside the gate.I did not want them inside. I did not want their voices, their faces, or their grief pressed against mine. But I could not turn away people who had once been kind to me.Respect… only that.My chest tightened as I stood there. I saw their burden, yes, but memory surged faster. Everything Romeo had done to me came back at once.All of it.I should have walked away. I should have refused to listen. Whatever happened to their son no longer mattered to me. Facing them was not forgiveness. It was courtesy.They were wrong to come. Wrong to ask for help. They tore open something that had barely begun to scar. If they had paused to think about how I would feel instead of clinging to their own pain, they would have stayed away.My heart did not soften. It hardened.We were finally learning how to forget, and they dragged everything back.I punched the pillow in my arms until my strength gave out. When I stopped, the room felt

    My wife greeted me with a sweet smile. She was wearing an apron and holding a ladle. “Good morning, my love,” I greeted her warmly, pulling her into a tight hug and pressing a firm kiss on her lips. “Good morning, my love,” she echoed, but she quickly pried my hands off and even pushed me back.I pouted, staring at her in confusion. This had never happened before. It was as if she didn’t want me touching her at all.Unless we were in the middle of a lovers’ quarrel—which we weren’t. We had woken up in such a good mood. Our morning had been… well, so happy.I couldn’t think of anything I’d done wrong. But for days now, I’d noticed how irritable she had become. Her moods shifted so quickly.“You stink!” she snapped, covering her nose with her hand. “Me? Stinky? I just took a shower. Look, my hair’s still wet,” I protested, frowning.I sniffed my arm, my underarm, even my breath. I was sure I smelled fresh and clean.“My love, are you upset? If I did something you didn’t like, we can

    DIEGO I couldn’t stop looking at my wife, who had already drifted off while I was getting dressed. Her breathing was soft, peaceful, almost fragile; the memory of her tears earlier hit me all over again. I hated seeing her hurt. I hated that she caught on so easily to something I didn’t want to admit even to myself. I didn’t realize my guard had slipped that much.The truth is, I wasn’t planning to tell her anything. I was ready to swallow my jealousy, pretend it didn’t matter, pretend I was above it. I thought keeping quiet was better than stirring up old ghosts.But jealousy doesn’t listen. It clings to the most irrational parts of you.Even after everything that man did to her, after the trauma, after the damage—there I was, still feeling a sting because I knew how deeply she once loved him. I saw how she fell apart back then. I heard his name from her lips again and again when she was breaking. That was why I left. That was why I stepped aside. Loving her meant letting her heal w

    I really am soft when it comes to the man I love. I’ve always been like this. Quick to sulk, quick to act dramatically, and quick to give in anyway. But there’s nothing wrong with being soft for someone you love.What’s wrong is being soft for someone you know doesn’t really love you. And you still keep going. Still keep hoping. That’s not softness anymore. That’s foolishness.“Are you not angry anymore, my wife?” he whispered, nibbling and lightly sucking on my ear. It tickled so much I bit my lip, my fingers curling tight on both hands and feet.He cupped my cheek with a gentle touch, his eyes fixed on me.“My wife… I’m sorry, okay?” he murmured, brushing a soft kiss against my lips.I didn’t answer him or return the kiss, but I didn’t push him away either. Yes, I’m soft… but I like being soothed. What woman doesn’t? There’s something about being pampered that melts you every time.“Are you still mad, my wife?” he whispered again. His fingers worked on the buttons of my top one by o
