LOGINI've transmigrated into a world where people will die if they don't cheat on their partners. The system tells me that I need to carry out the entire plot before I can finally go home. So, I play the role of a good wife during the day and carry out my duties as a great "friend" at night. I'm a master when it comes to time management. When I finally reach the end of the plot, I break up with my side piece, Xavier Dawson, first. Xavier bursts into tears instantly. "I don't mind the fact that you have a husband, yet your husband minds you having a side piece! Can't you tell who here loves you even more?" Left without a choice, I decide to file for a divorce from my husband, Rafael Cortez. Rafael gets mad at me this time. "You cheating on me is purely business between you and your side piece! How is this related to me? Why must I be involved in your business?" Heh! If not for the fact that I know both Xavier and Rafael have a first love each, I might have believed their lies!
View MoreThe confrontation ended with Rafael and me returning home. Just before I left, I caught a glimpse of the reluctance in Xavier's eyes.Rafael's expression darkened the moment we arrived at the Cortez residence. "Aren't you going to explain yourself?" he questioned."And what exactly am I supposed to explain? It's obvious you like Evelyn, so why won't you agree to a divorce? "You paid three million dollars for Evelyn, dated her, and even treated her with care and tenderness. So where does that leave me?" I shot back.He grew flustered at my words. "It's not what you think—""Then what is it? For the past three years, we were little more than strangers. I always thought you were cold by nature, but it wasn't until I saw the way you treated Evelyn that I realized that you only kept your distance from me," I snapped."That's not true…" he tried to explain."Enough. Let's get a divorce."A storm of emotions churned in Rafael's eyes as he stared at me. In the end, he said, "I don't a
"Did you decide to use me to provoke Evelyn when you found out she was back?" I texted.In my mind, I'd already spun an entire love-hate drama between her and Xavier."That's not it… Can we meet and talk in person?" he replied.Seeing how things between Rafael and Evelyn seemed to be going fairly well, I gave it a moment of thought before agreeing.Half an hour later, I met Xavier at a quiet bar. The white shirt and jeans he wore gave him a clean, fresh look.For a split second, his eyes lit up the moment he saw me, before they quickly dimmed. He got straight to the point. "I'm sorry I lied to you."Taken aback, I asked, "What are you talking about?""The truth is, I'm not the poor student you thought I was. I'm actually the heir to Dawson Group," he confessed.I nodded in response. "Oh, that. I already knew."My words clearly caught him off guard. "You did?""Didn't one of your friends call you a scion at the banquet? I've got pretty good hearing, you know."I took a sip of
Shawn thanked Rafael profusely, and just like that, the incident came to an end.Rafael didn't say a word on the way back. I sat in the passenger seat and watched as the night view flashed past the window."You were very gracious today," he suddenly said.I turned to look at him. "Was I?""After everything Ms. Lloyd said, you still stepped in to cover for her." He glanced over at me before continuing, "Why did you do that?"I shrugged in response. "She wasn't wrong. It's true that I don't really like her."My words seemed to have caught him off guard."But just because I don't like Evelyn doesn't mean I have to kick her when she's down. Besides, I don't think she did it on purpose. She probably just slipped, that's all," I added.I knew perfectly well she'd done it on purpose. Still, there was no reason for me to expose her.A brief silence followed before he spoke again. "You've changed a lot, Irene."My heart flew into my mouth. Had he realized that I wasn't the original
I leaned forward to take a closer look. All of a sudden, Evelyn let out a startled cry and pitched backward.I instinctively reached out to catch her, but she'd already crashed into a nearby sculpture by "accident".The sculpture wobbled violently before shattering into pieces with a deafening crash. The loud sound immediately drew everyone's attention.Evelyn fell to the ground. Blood seeped out of the scratches on her arms where the fragments had cut into her skin. Tears welled in her eyes as she choked out, "Ms. Houston… why did you push me?"The entire place instantly erupted into an uproar.Rafael rushed over at the sound of the commotion. A frown crossed his face when he took in the scene. "What happened?" he asked."It's not Ms. Houston's fault. I'm sure she didn't mean it. It's my fault for losing balance…" she said through tears.What a clever move. With just a few words, she'd managed to push all the blame onto me.I was met with looks of contempt from everyone.
