Tessa's POV

I stayed silent for a long time after what Darius said. He kept looking at me like he was trying to read my mind.

I knew he had no plans of refusing Martha’s request. I could see it in his eyes, and it made me anxious. I kept thinking of what I could say to stop him.

When I still didn’t speak, he sighed. He stood in front of me for a few minutes. When he was about to walk to the door to leave, I quickly held his hand.

“No! You can’t leave with her!”

His eyes were full of concern when he looked back at me. “Tessa.”

“I won’t allow it! Martha is only doing this to get back at me! She wants revenge, that’s why she wants to go with you to Hacienda Altagrasia!”

Darius held me by both arms. “Tessa, calm down.”

“I said no! I don’t want you to take her! I don’t want it!”

“We’ll only be there for one day—”

“No!” I shouted, making him stop speaking. “If you take her, I might as well… leave!”

I didn’t know what else to say to convince him not to take Martha, so I was just blurting out

  • Stealing My Husband From His Mistress    Chapter 35

    Tessa's POVMy hands were shaking as I stood in front of Manang Cecil, waiting for what she would say. She couldn’t look at me, her head bowed, her eyes fixed on the floor.“Why did you say that, Manang? You were there! You saw everything! Why did you lie?!”“I-I’m not lying. I-I saw you… you pushed M-Ma’am Martha.”I stepped closer and held her tightly by both arms. “That’s not true! Please, don’t lie! I know you saw everything!”Tears ran down my cheeks when she turned her eyes away from me, as if she had no plans to tell the truth about what she saw.“I know now.” I nodded several times. “Martha paid you to do this, didn’t she?”This time, she lifted her gaze. “No.”“That’s right! She paid you! That’s why you two were talking last night! She paid you to lie and blame me!”“N-no!” she insisted in fear.We were still in the middle of our argument when I heard a car stop outside the house. A moment later, Darius walked through the door.I ran out of the kitchen but didn’t go near him.

  • Stealing My Husband From His Mistress    Chapter 33

    Tessa's POVI couldn’t help the faint smile that tugged at my lips when I saw the glimmer of tears in Martha’s eyes. The news had clearly wounded her. For a moment, I expected her to explode in anger, but instead, she kept her gaze fixed at the bottom of the stairs.“Just give up. Darius and I are already married, and I’m pregnant. I have far more right to him than you ever will.”She remained silent. My patience had already worn thin, and I was ready to tell her the truth when, suddenly, her hand lifted into the air and landed against my cheek.The slap wasn’t strong—it was more like the brush of cotton—but I still froze in shock. I wasn’t about to let her think she could get away with that.She gasped when I struck her back, harder—hard enough to make sure she felt it and heard the ringing in her ears.“You’re pathetic! Darius doesn’t love you anymore—just accept it!” My voice rose with the heat of my anger.“Tessa!”I stiffened at the sharp sound of Darius’s voice. Turning, I saw h

  • Stealing My Husband From His Mistress    Chapter 32

    Tessa's POVFor the three days we stayed in Darius’s uncle’s province, I can honestly say we grew close. Every moment with him was filled with laughter and warmth.I still don’t know how Darius truly feels about me—if he genuinely likes me, or if he’s only doing this because of his promise. I’m not sure. But what I do know is that I’m happy, and I don’t want this happiness to end.On our last day there, we went sightseeing and bought little things from the shops. When we returned to Manila, we had dinner out before he sent me off in a taxi.We couldn’t go home together. If we did, some mistress somewhere would start crying again.“You’re back already, ma’am! How was it?”Manang Cecil opened the door for me the moment I arrived. She had a wide smile on her face, looking genuinely glad and excited to see me.“It was fine,” I said.“And your Mamang, ma’am? Is she feeling better now?”“Mamang?”“Yes. Wasn’t she the reason you went home? You said she wasn’t feeling well?”I blinked in surp

  • Stealing My Husband From His Mistress    Chapter 31

    Tessa's POV“Tessa, why didn’t you wake me up? When I opened my eyes, you were gone.”I heard Darius’s voice behind me. He had just come into the kitchen. I turned to him with a smile after serving hot and thick coconut milk chicken stew into a bowl.His eyes instantly went to the food I was holding. He gave a big smile and came closer to me.“Smells delicious! And it looks so good,” he said, rubbing his hand on his stomach.I placed the chicken stew on the table along with fried milkfish, rice, and sautéed water spinach.“I hope Uncle Jim won’t get mad. I already used his kitchen. I couldn’t go out to buy food because of the rain, so I just cooked for you.”He pulled me close by the waist for a hug. “My wife is so sweet.”I looked down and bit my lip. Every time he called me his wife, it felt like butterflies were flying in my stomach.“Uncle Jim isn’t here. He had a family emergency and had to leave. And he won’t be angry,” he said in a gentle voice.“Darius, why is it so quiet here

  • Stealing My Husband From His Mistress    Chapter 30

    Darius' POVI swallowed hard as I walked closer to where Tessa was. When she saw me, she froze for a moment, clearly surprised. But that look quickly turned into a sweet smile.“Aren’t you cold?” I asked softly when I was near her.Hell, I could barely get my voice out. My voice was shaking because of the strong feelings running through me.Tessa slowly stepped toward me. That sweet smile on her lips turned into something more inviting.At first, I was too surprised to move, but when I realized what she was doing, I couldn’t stop myself anymore. I quickly closed the space between us and kissed her.We held each other tightly. I gently laid her down on the smooth stone. She smiled at me in a playful way, as if telling me to continue.“Darius, will anyone see us?” she asked sweetly.I shook my head. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.”We held each other more closely. Her eyes wandered over me, and I could tell she liked what she saw.I didn’t waste any more time. I wanted her so badly.
