ログインMy husband, my son, and the woman who stole them, broke me into pieces. I was the perfect wife, the perfect mother… until I became invisible. So I walked away with nothing but my name and a promise: I’ll rise again. Then a dangerous and ruthless billionaire suddenly appeared before me. He looked at me like I was the only woman alive and said, “Marry me, Rosemary… and I’ll make the world kneel at your feet.” I told myself it was just a deal. But how do you walk away from a man who heals your scars with his touch and burns your soul with his love?
もっと見るAng isang papel na naglalaman ng divorce agreement ay itinapon sa harap ni Karylle, tumingin siya sa taong gumawa no’n.
“Gising na siya, at nangako ako sa kanya na hangga’t buhay siya ay hindi mapupunta ang position niya bilang asawa ko sa ibang babae,” seryosong sabi ng lalaki. Tinuro niya ang papel na itinapon niya sa lamesa, sa harap ni Karylle. “Pirmahan mo ito, this is our divorce agreement.” Inasahan na ni Karylle na mangyayari ang bagay na ito dahil buwan na ang nakalipas nang magising ang pinsan niya. Itinaas niya ang tingin niya sa lalaki at nagsalita sa mapait na tono. “Hindi ka pa rin naniniwala sa akin ngayon?” Umismid si Harold at umingin kay Karylle na hindi natutuwa. "Simula pa lang noong una hanggang ngayon, you’re a vain woman. Ano pa bang meron sa’yo na paniniwalaan ko?” Huminto siya sa pagsasalita at tumingin ng seryoso kay Karylle. "Huwag mo na akong paulitin, Kar. Sign this paper, and this villa will belong to you. Ito ang huling ibibigay ko para sa dignidad mo!" Sarkastik na tumingin si Karylle sa kanya. Natawa siya sa kanyang isipan dahil sa turan ni Harold. Kung ganoon, ayaw niyang walang matanggap si Karylle, kaya niya ibibigay ang villa? Para kay Karylle ay tila gusto niyang maniwala na nagpakita lang ng malasakit si Harold sa kanya…ngunit alam niyang hindi. Kinuha niya ang divorce agreement sa lamesa, nakita niya na nandoon na ang pangalan at pirma ni Harold, at sa kanya na lang ang kulang. Tila may bumara sa lalamunan ni Karylle, uminit din ang kanyang mata. Ngunit nanatili siyang kalmado Tumingin siya ulit kay Harold. “Papayag ba si Lola?” "Ano bang inaakala mo? Bibigyan ka ng unlimited na suporta ni Grandma?” Tumingin si Harold sa kanya na walang emosyon, "Alam mo kung bakit tayo kinasal, Karylle. Huwag kang sakim at huwag mong hayaan na magalit pa ako lalo sa’yo." Umismid si Karylle, "Ano bang pinagkaiba sa galit ka na sa akin at sa mas galit ka?" Mas lalong tinignan ni Harold ng masama si Karylle at sumigaw. "Karylle!" Kinuha ni Karylle ang ballpen na nasa lamesa lang din, "Okay, I'll sign this para matahimik ka na." Simula nang magising ang pinsan niya, nagpadala na ito ng maraming litrato kasama si Harold. Hanggang ngayon ay kumakapit pa rin siya sa pagmamahal na mali. Kaya ano pang silbi sa kasal na ito kung ipagpatuloy niya. Nilagyan niya ng ekis ang tungkol sa villa na inilagay ni Harold sa agreement at agad iniligay ang sarili niyang pangalan na hindi nagdadalawang isip. Tapos na ang tatlong taon na kasal. At simula rin ngayon, malaya na siya. Ibinigay niya ang agreement paper kay Harold pagkatapos niya itong pirmahan. "Give me an hour, I will pack up and leave." Kumunot ang noo ni Harold, umawang ang kanyang bibig. “Hindi ba ang usapan ay sa’yo ang villa ito. Hindi mo kailangan umalis.” ”No, tingin ko ay ang lugar na ito ay para lang sayo. " Karylle chuckled and said word by word: "It's all dirty." "Karylle!" Hindi pinansin ni Karylle ang galit na si Harold sa gilid niya, ang dating masunurin na asawa at mapagkumbaba ay tila nagbago ang pakikitungo kay Harold. Itinulak niya si Harold palabas ng pinto sa kwarto. Isang oras ang lumipas… Bumalik si Karylle sa ibaba, at wala na roon si Harold. Napatingin siya sa hawak niyang relo, isang Rolex men’s watch. Ito sana ang regalo na hinanda niya para kay Harold sa nalalapit na kaarawan nito. Habang tinitignan niya ito ngayon, mahahalata na kumikinang at mahal. Hindi siya nagdalawang isip na itapon ang relo na iyon sa basurahan. Umabot di kumulang isang daang dolyar na relo. Huminga siya nang malalim. Sa loob ng tatlong taon, trinato niya iyon na parang maamong aso. Simula ngayon, siya na lang mag-isa na kasama ang sarili niya. Nang makalabas siya sa villa, itinigil niya ang kotse niya at dumiretso sa sarili niyang villa. Ang villa na ito ay matagal ng binili, pero dahil nakatira siya sa Sanbuelgo family, hindi na siya nakabalik dito. Gulat naman ang mga katulong nang makita siya, agad silang pumila ng dalawang linya at sabay na binati si Karylle. "Hello, Mrs. Sanbuelgo!" Iniligay ni Karylle ang bagahe niya, at umupo sa sofa. Hinimas niya ang kilay niya at tinama ang sinabi ng mga katulong. “Hindi na Mrs. Sanbuelgo. From now on, you will call me Miss Granle.” Kung dati ay masaya siya sa titulo na meron siya noon bilang “Mrs. Sanbuelgo” ngayon ay tila nawalan na siya ng amor, ayaw niya na ulit marinig na tinatawag siya ng mga tao sa pangalan na iyon. Nang marinig ang sinabi niya, hindi na siya tinanong ng mga katulong pa kundi inulit lang ang pagbati sa kanya sa ibang pagtawag. Sa loob ng kwaro ni Karylle, tinawagan niya ang kanyang assistant na si Layrin. "How are you recently?" Nagulat naman si Layrin sa biglaang pagtawag ni Karylle. "Himala at napatawag ka? Anong nangyari?" "I'm divorced, pinakinggan ko ang sinabi mo. And I will focus on my career from now on." "What?" Layrin's voice exploded directly. "Oh my god, tama ba ang narinig ko?! Sa loob ng tatlong taon, halos naging ulirang asawa ka sa kanya, sinuko mo rin ang trabaho para maging full-time wife. Anong kulog ang tumama sa’yo ngayong araw na ito? Did you really divorce him? Are you kidding me?" Si Layrin ay assistant ni Karylle. Maliban sa kanya at sa isa or dalawang tao na kasama ni Karylle, walang nakakaalam na may pangalawang pagkatao na dinadala si Karylle, and that is… “And the Ace Lawyer Kris is finally back?!” sigaw ni Layrin sa kabilang linya. There is a popular saying on the Internet: Kris is second, no one is first. Ilang abogado ba ang tila kinakabahan sa tuwing naririnig ang pangalan niya. Nasa kalagitnaan pa ng gulat si Layrin sa narinig niya nang biglang nagtanong si Karylle. "Has anyone contacted me recently? Are there any interesting cases? Napakurap si Layrin, at sumagot na may pagka hinayang. “Yes, indeed, mayroong isa. At mataas din ang offer, pero kahit isa ay walang gustong kumuha sa kaso na ito, at ikaw…sa tingin ko rin ay hindi mo kukunin.” "Oh?" Ang boses ni Karylle, na kahit kailan ay hindi nagpapakita ng pagka-interesado sa isang bagay ngunit tila nagbago ito nang marinig ang sinabi ni Layrin. She became more interested.Rose I drove home with my heart pounding so hard I swore it might burst right out of my chest. Mr handsome scent still clung to me, clean, warm, and masculine, and every time I breathed it in, a flutter swept through my stomach. Without realizing it, a smile tugged at my lips, the kind of smile I hadn’t worn in years. Lord, what is wrong with me?When I pulled into the driveway and stepped inside, the first thing I saw was Lucas and Eva at the dining table, eating the breakfast I had made hours ago. Oh, so they came home last night without even telling me.“Good morning,” I greeted them with a smile that felt almost foreign on my face.They both looked at me like I had grown two heads. Normally, that stare would have pierced straight through me, but not today. I won't allow their silence to destroy the lightness blooming in my chest.I headed upstairs, changed out of my clothes, and began my chores. Of course, I did them alone. I have no house help. Lucas said it was better for m
Rose I couldn’t stop staring at Mr handsome while he looked at me with that warm, devastating smile.My voice came out in almost a whisper. “Uhm… are you saying that I’m… beautiful?”It sounded silly even as I said it, but God… I couldn’t remember the last time anyone called me that.“Yes,” he said without hesitation. “You are. In fact…” His gaze lingered on me, like he was memorizing every inch of my face. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.”I wanted to laugh it off, brush it away like an obvious lie, but the sincerity in his voice stopped me, and before I knew it, I believed him.“Thank you,” I said, lowering my eyes, feeling a shy smile tug at my lips.God, what’s wrong with me today? I probably need a doctor, yes, someone to check if my brain has been replaced with marshmallow because I can’t remember the last time I felt like this.“Hey, are you alright?” His sweet, velvety voice pulled me out of my haze.“I’m fine,” I murmured quickly. “Uhm… I should leave.” I
RoseI froze, my breath caught in my throat, as I stared at the man standing before me.He wasn’t just handsome, he was devastatingly, dangerously handsome. The kind of man you would see on the cover of a luxury magazine and think, men like this don’t exist in real life.His piercing blue eyes held me still, like they could see right through my skin, right into my soul.The way he carried himself told me everything; this isn't just a man; this is power, money, and elegance wrapped into one breathtaking package. His suit jacket hung casually over his left shoulder, the fabric a deep charcoal that whispered expensive without needing to shout it. The white shirt he wore was crisp and perfectly tailored, the sleeves rolled up to reveal strong, veined forearms that looked like they belonged in a high-end cologne ad. Even the silver watch on his wrist glinted in the soft light like it was worth more than my car.“Are you okay?” he asked, his voice low, smooth, and edged with concern.God.
RoseThe pain in my head dragged me out of sleep like a heavy hand yanking me back into reality.I winced as I sat up, my fingers pressing against my temples. It felt like my skull was splitting. I turned my head slowly to the side and glanced at the clock.5:15 a.m.I didn't even know if I slept at all.I couldn’t remember walking into the house last night… I just remembered the stares, the whispers, the laughter and Lucas' voice echoing in my ears, calling me fat, ugly, useless… right in front of everyone.I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, trying to push his voice out of my head... but it clung to me like a second skin."What did I do to deserve this?" I thought to myself. "Where did I go wrong?"Dragging my feet, I walked to the tall mirror standing in the corner of the room. I stared at my reflection for a long time, longer than I ever dared to before. My eyes looked tired. My face… empty.Slowly, I lifted my oversized shirt and stared at the scar that curved across my stomach
RoseI stood in the middle of the crowd, my heart pounding with hope, then slowly twisting into fear as my eyes darted from face to face, scanning every corner of the room.But he wasn’t here.It was Lucas, my husband's birthday. I spent weeks planning this celebration, staying up late decorating,
