The Evil Wife Chapter 18
I remember Lord mentioning about the party he's going to attend. He even asked me if I want to go with him, but I refused. I guess, this party is the one he's been talking about.Now, I just arrived. I am here to claim my should-be position—the part where Bridgette is now in. I am the first choice, the supposed-to-be Lord Lavigne's date in this party.With my royal blue dress shining like the seawater as it reflects the starry night sky, I headed to the wide and tall double-door of the venue.The two men at the entrance looked at me in awe, amazed by my refulgent face. Oh, am I just praising my self? No, of course not."Good afternoon, Miss." The one in a cyan tuxedo smilingly approached. "What's your name?"The brunette guy in a vintage-color suit asked, "Do you have an invitation?"I blinked my eyes . . . and blinked again. "Invitation? What invitation?" I asked, ignoring the first one who asked my name. Of course, I know what invitation he's referring to, I'm just a little bit cons
The Evil Wife Chapter 19
Hindi naman nagtagal ay nadako sa aming direksiyon ang tingin ng dalawa. Mukhang hindi pa nila ako namukhaan agad, pero halatang nagulat sila nang marahil rumehistro na sa kanilang isipan kung sino ngayon ang babaeng nakatingin sa kanila.I can say that it's hard to secrete whatever chaos I have inside, but all my life I trained myself to conceal my emotions, and so I managed not to react a bit.Napansin ko ang pasimpleng pagtanggal ni Lord sa kamay ni Bridgette na nakasalikop sa kamay niya at lumapit sa amin. Sumunod naman ang malandi niyang arkitekto at pasimpleng ngumisi sa akin.Again, I didn't react. Tinanggal ko ang tingin sa kanila at muling sinipat ang aking pambisig na relo. Pero halos mapamura ako sa pagkadismaya nang makitang wala nga pala akong relo. Nawala.Sanay na kasi tayo. Iyon ang masakit.Bumuga ako ng hangin at piniling tumingin na lang ulit kay Daddy na ngayon ay kay Lord na nakaharap."Mr. Del Puerto," Lord formally acknowledge my father as he offered his hand fo

It's been an hour since I have finished my dinner. Manang Ymir only prepared a single dish-sweet meat it is.Recently, I came to know that Lord loves sweet meat Iike my father. Sa sobrang yaman niya, misteryo pa rin para sa akin kung bakit napaka-simple ng mga ganap sa buhay niya. He's not a luxurious man, unlike me who doesn't even want to wear a dress that has been worn, or to use an object that already fell on the ground.One time, when Manang is about to cook something, she asked me what particular recipe I'd love to eat, so perhaps she can prepare one. For the very first time, someone asked me what I like. It feels so strange so I had no idea what to say.What do I like, really? What do I want?I did live in a wealthy family, but now that I come to think of it, I never really recognized what I really like. It seemed like I want everything I can touch, and I'm going to have them because I have the money to do so.When it comes to my fashion stuff, I get everything I see beautiful.
The Evil Wife Prologue
Ever since it was justified that the world is round, I started listing the groups of people in this universe that I don't really need to deal with during my not-so-intriguing lifetime.First, STRANGERS.I blinked my eyes twice, trying to convince my self that it's not really happening, that I bumped my head on the wall or something, and everything's just a hallucination.Okay, okay. Breathe in. Breathe out."Miss, ah, p'wede bang umusog ka kahit kaunti lang? Naiipit na kasi ang tiyan ko. Pasensiya na, buntis kasi ako."Damn. It's not a hallucination. I am really in a vehicle with three wheels, and I remember the days when I don't even care what to call it! Dahil sa nagkanda-leche-lecheng pangyayari sa araw na ito, I couldn't even have the guts to know the fucking reasons why Heather Cassia is in a tricycle!"No need to tell me that you're pregnant. Not that I'm stupid to think that you're carrying a moon in your stomach." Umikot ang mata ko at hindi tinapunan ng tingin ang katabi kong
The Evil Wife Chapter 1
God knows I already did my best to stop myself. This tiny control in my head has already reached its limit. My lips twitched and the veins of my neck turned evident.I wasn't able to stop myself anymore. In front of her naturally friendly face, I raised my middle finger and clearly mouthed, "Fuck you."Hindi siya nagulat. Isang buntonghininga na may kasamang ngiti ang kanyang pinakawalan. Sa kanya lang ako nakakakita ng ganyang klase ng reaksiyon. Natapos nang murahin at lahat-lahat ay nagagawa pa rin niyang ngumiti at manatiling kalmado."Ate, you know we can't fuck each other."Mas lalo akong nainis sa naging tugon niya. "You're sick.""Severely," Hyacinth replied. "But my condition may turn critical, I know what I'm saying. Our parents would not be pleased to see you—""Your parents," I cut her off."If I were you, I better leave," she continued like she didn't hear anything. "Baka kung ano na naman ang mangyari dito at madagdagan na naman ang galit nila sa'yo. I can now predict th

"I'll be there in 30 minutes. Nasa bahay pa 'ko. Inform Mr. Cho that I would be busy this week, I have no time for his complaints . . . Yes . . . Confirmed. Plus, remove my 9th appointment."I kept on scanning the new set of cosmetics above my cabinet while this man in my room is talking to his secretary on the phone.I am now a captive, jailed in his mansion walls. I can sense the setting sun, but I want to go in the woods away. I want to escape. Always have been.Narinig ko ang pagtatapos ng usapan. In my peripheral view, I saw him put his phone in his pocket. Bahagya siyang lumapit."Aalis na 'ko. Manang Ymir is downstairs, you can approach her if you need something."Inilapag ko ang hawak kong MAC lipstick sa bedside table at hinarap siya. Sa simpleng pagtatama ng aming mga mata ay para na akong hinihigop, isinasalang sa nagbabagang lutuan. Hindi nagbago ang epekto niya sa akin. Pero kung may pinagkaiba man noon at ngayon, ngayon ay wala na akong pakialam anumang klase ng emosyon
The Evil Wife Chapter 3
Katulong . . .Hindi ko napigilan ang pagsinghap sa narinig. Ni hindi ako nakapagsalita. Never in my life that I am mistaken as katulong. Nothing is wrong for being a maid, but it came out from her dirty mouth as an insult.Nang mag-angat ng tingin si Lord ay hindi nagbago ang reaksiyon niya. He looked at his watch and slightly loosened up his tie.I headed downstairs. Alam kong alam ng babaeng kasama niya na hindi ako katulong. Baka hindi niya lang kasi matanggap na kahit ganito lang ang suot ko, kapag pinagtabi kami ay magmumukha siyang basahan. Partida, wala pa akong ligo."Magandang tanghali, Sir Lavigne." Nakangiti akong lumapit. "Dito ba kayo manananghalian ng kasama n'yo?"Nangunot ang noo niya. Matagal na rin mula nang huli niya akong nakitang ngumiti nang ganito. Ang kaso, mukhang maalam na siya sa pag-distinguish ng peke sa totoo."Oo, dito kami kakain." Ang kasama niyang babae ang sumagot. Kapansin-pansin ang mapanuri niyang mata sa akin na pabalik-balik mula ulo hanggang t
The Evil Wife Chapter 4
"May pros and cons ang pagiging matalino. Pros, they consider a lot of problems as mere mind games and are entertaining. They can invent something extraordinary and leave legacy. They can think logically even in a stress situation and can work well in a minimal supervision. Sometimes, they can stay cool even under pressure. Intelligent people are more likely to gain respect and preferences from people.""Indeed. Kapag matalino ka, marami kang magagawa. Marami kang matatanggap at malayo ang mararating mo.""Nevertheless, intelligence does not result pure advantages. Some people abuse their capability, and that's when the disadvantages occur. They stay away from people who make them feel stupid. Madalas din silang makakita ng mali sa iba, ng pagkukulang. They are also at risk of sounding arrogant because they think they're the best, they think they are superior of others. Consequently, it will hinder them from accepting suggestions and criticisms. They won't heed pieces of advice becaus
