The Hidden Affair of The Legal Wife

-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-It has been three days since I saw Corlyn. After that night, I woke up without her beside me. It was the day of Dad's burial. It left me sleepless for three days but the guilt and anger inside me never faded away.The six of us, no. Seven, wore white except for the visitors who visited Dad's wake. Pagkatapos nilang maibaon ito sa lupa, we let go of our balloons and let them fly through the vast emptiness of the sky.Jana continuously cried in Khaleed's arms but I didn't care. I don't give a fucking shit if she bawled her eyes out in front of Dad's grave. Hindi na siya magigising kahit umiyak siya.Attorney Delafuego immediately came to the house to discuss the will afterwards. We all sat quietly in the conference room in the east part of the house. As they all sat together in front of the table, I was the only one leaning on the door. Obviously I don't want to sit beside them kahit na pinipilit ako ni Jace na umupo sa tabi niya."Okay, first things fir

-(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO POV)-"We will get married next month, Tito." He answered with a smile.Next month? Is he freaking serious?"I guess na nagkakamabutihan kayo? Maganda yan para di na namin kayo pinipilit na magpakasal sa isa't isa." Sagot ni Dad sa kanya, a smile plastered on his face."Wait. Next month is a little bit too fast, is it Agathe? Bakit parang ang bilis naman? They barely know each other and your daughter just turned 18." Mom butted in, her brows slightly furrowed."I agree with you Mom. I think it is a bit too fast para agad silang magpakasal." Kuya denoted, his arms folded over his chest."Lez, why don't you just let them decide? It's as if ikaw ang pakakasalan." Ate Seraphina butted in, eyebrows furrowed."I agree with Ate Sera, Kuya." Ani Clydel at King."Just let them be Kuya. Ate Corlyn is old enough para magdecide." Ani Maria na nasa tabi nito."Old enough? She just turned 18 three days ago. I'm just worried about her dahil di natin kilala ang naka bethrode

-(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO POV)- -☾-Nakarating na kami sa condominium nito and I must say, it's big for the two of us.Kahit pang tatlong beses ko ng pumunta dito ay mangha parin ako sa lawak ng kanyang unit.Kasalukuyan akong nasa living room, sitting politely as I looked around. My eyes glued to the frame that I saw.Is that… him?Tumayo ako at linapitan ang nakita kong frame na naka display sa floating shelves, grabbing it before analysing the contents.It was him in a tuxedo while his arm was around a woman's waist. His facial expression was stern as the woman was smiling happily, her arms wrapped around him.Hindi ko alam pero… iba ang nararamdaman ko habang nakatingin sa litrato. My heart felt like it was being squeezed and stabbed to death as my brows furrowed. Ngunit wala akong karapatan magselos kasi hindi naman siya akin…"Dito ko na sa bedroom itinabi yung suitcase mo incase na hanapin mo." Sambit nito ngunit hindi ko siya liningon.Siguro napansin niyang iba ang timpla ko

-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-(00:40)Kasalukuyan akong umiinom ng alak sa may kusina habang mahimbing na natutulog si Emerald sa kwarto.Habang papalapit ang araw ng kasal, hindi ko maiwasan na kabahan at mag alinlangan kung kakayanin ko ba or tatalikuran ko nalang.Ayokong magpakasal. Ayun lang ang tanging nasa isipan ko ngayon ngunit hindi ko naman pwedeng talikuran dahil malapit na ang petsang iyon.I want to fucking talk to someone upang mailabas ang nararamdaman ko ngunit baka magambala ko lang ang tulog nila.Nilagok ko ang laman ng baso bago salinan muli ng alak iyon. "Gelal?" Napalingon ako nang may tumawag sa akin.I was tipsy but I know what I'm doing. My vision a bit blurry ngunit kung hindi ako nagkakamali, may babaeng nakatayo sa may doorframe ng kusina."What are you doing here?" Tanong ko, closing my eyes as I rubbed my forehead."Kukuha sana ako ng tubig. Hindi ko alam na nandito ka pala." Sa boses palang niya ay kilala ko na ito.I opened my eyes, my vision a bit c

-(SERAPHINA AMETHYST VERDANIO POV)-Napabiling ang mukha ko sa ibang direksyon as my mom slapped me. Or should I say, my step mom.But the fuck I care about them? They are not my parents by blood. Never was and never will be.Matalim ang aking tingin nang humarap ako rito, nothing was roaming around my mind except the anger that I'm feeling right now.As soon as she found out, she went to my room and dragged me by the hair up into the living room."Hindi kita tinuruan ng ganyan Seraphina. I already told you to stay away from his son before things get worse-" Naputol ang sasabihin nito nang sumabat ako."His son? From what I know, that wasn't his son. Nor am I a daughter of his. Wala kayong karapatan na saktan kaming dalawa dahil in the first place, hindi namin kayo kadugo." Sagot ko, my expression unchanged."Oo hindi namin kayo kadugo pero dito kayo lumaki sa puder namin. Both of you are legally and rightfully ours and what you are doing is incest. You are destroying our family's name
