I stepped out of the car as soon as I turned off the engine. Then, heading to the phone stand, I called the guard.  A male voice spoke into the line right away."Guard on duty, good evening!""Guard, why do you allow a madwoman into the subdivision?""Madwoman?" There was a short pause before he spoke again. "Do you mean the woman in her sixties, wearing a black skirt and a brown blouse?""Yes!" I replied angrily. I could still remember how frightened I was when she suddenly knocked on my car's door while Kim and I were in the midst of our heated activity."She looks like one, ma'am, but she is harmless. Her daughter says she is suffering from a nervous breakdown. I don't understand why but her daughter allows her to wander in the streets."I pulled my brows together. What kind of a daughter is she to allow her mother to wander on the streets?"May I know who her family is?" "Her daughter is Miss Ma

I wore jogging pants and a racerback top for my morning walk with Ara.  Zed also changed into his jogging outfit but went out ahead of me. He knew he had no place whenever I was with Ara. And he's never the jealous type who demanded my attention back to him.Surprisingly, Ara was in a good mood this morning. She was already ready when I stopped by her house. Although wrapped in a sweater, I could still see her slimming structure. She may not tell me,  but I could tell she already suspected Tim and Maezy were into a relationship."How's your night?" I asked as soon as we started walking."Lonely. You know what, even if I hate Tim for his many restrictions, I still miss him at night because he never sleeps without cuddling me. That kind of thing makes me feel secured," said Ara. Tears gathered at the corners of her eyes, but she laughed it out -- breaking my heart.I also didn't want to assure her falsely,  so I said, "If Tim indeed cheats on

Ara and I started walking again, laughing silently at how Manang Zabeth grumbled as she walked away. At that moment, we had forgotten our own worries. We were instead talking about how painful it would be for Maezy when she would start paying for her debts."Vengeance is not ours but the Lord's. That's why I wouldn't give them the joy of seeing me hurting."I didn't expect Ara would be as strong as this. All these times, I was worried about how to break it to her gently. I was afraid that the pain of knowing the truth would affect her pregnancy. But I realized I was wrong."From today and onward, I will no longer shed a tear for him. Enough were those nights that I went sleepless. I couldn't afford to get sick for them," she scoffed."I admire you, Ar. I couldn't believe you have this strength and an open mind."Ara smiled bitterly. "And by the way, I need your help. I want to send all of  Tim's things to Maezy's house."My eyes sparkle

"What?!" I let out a pursed smile. "Yes, Ar. I have forgotten everything that happened to me in Japan, including my marriage with Kim." Ara clutched her heart as she looked at me, her eyes squinting in disbelief. "How did you find it out? Why can't you remember? What happened to you?"  "Ar, save your questions later when we have all the time in the world to talk." Ara pinched my waist. "If it were not for Mr. Yuki's invitation, I wouldn't have known." "I'm sorry. I'm still overwhelmed and shocked, that's why I couldn't tell you yet... But please stop asking for now. We're already late for work." Ara rolled her eyes and sighed, disappointed that I had to cut and leave her in a cliffhanger. But I had to go, not because we would be late for work, but because I would be meeting my psychiatrist. Zed had already prepared the table for breakfast when I arrived. He was on his jeans and collared shirt, ready for work at his

I found myself telling the doctor my entire experience in Japan. I even told her my dilemma about having two husbands: my reluctance to let go of Zed and my emotional attachment to Kim."Based on your previous records and your confession now, I conclude that you're into dissociative amnesia. It is a condition in which a person cannot remember important information about their life." "Dissociative amnesia has been linked to overwhelming stress, which may be caused by traumatic events such as war, abuse, accidents, or disasters. The person may have suffered the trauma or just witnessed it.""It could be localized amnesia where you only forget specific areas of knowledge or part of your experiences. Or generalized where the memory affects the major part of your life or identity." "In your case, there must be an incident that happened after you fled from the site. And since Mr. Mori hasn't found proof of any traumatic experience you might have got

"Yes.  My company is losing. The employees are slowly leaving, and I feel their dissatisfaction over the management.  A friend advised me to correct the situation by addressing the internal issues between the management and the workers. After all, a happy and healthy workforce is a good tool towards productivity.""Sorry to hear that. I guess you also have to investigate the cause of their dissatisfaction. Remove those who are toxic to the environment. Training needs time, and if you keep on hiring new ones and train them, you'll indeed end up on the losing side," Zed replied."That's why I need you to help me change the workers' mindset.""I'll try my best. Now, let's discuss the topics you want me to present."I pulled out a deep sigh. My guilt indeed made me paranoid. But what if Mr. Virgil would eventually spill our secret? I had to remind Kim about this. Feeling the need to see him right away, I left after the attendant served my drink.&nbs

My eyes fell on Zed right away as I stepped out of the lift. He was wearing a three-piece navy blue coat and tie that fitted him perfectly. Paired with brown leather shoes and a striped tie, he looked like someone who had just stepped out from a celebrity journal.For a moment, my eyes glued on him, mesmerized at how handsome he looked. Even if I woke up beside him every day and even knew all about his shortcomings, I still got stunned at his masculine beauty. Zed was incomparable to Kim, but somehow my heart still chose Kim as my object of fantasy. There were so many things about myself that I didn't understand anymore, including my taste and preferences.My husband is such a gorgeous man. I could even see how people stick their eyes on him, especially when he speaks. People would think that I am such a lucky woman for marrying someone as perfect as Zed. Because once Zed Ramos stands before thousands of people, he could always move their hearts. Business enthusiasts l

On the big screen, I saw a vast auditorium. I wasn't sure where it was; all I knew was that the people there were attending a big event. It must be from a famous company since it was screened online where people from all walks of life could see it. And when I looked closer, I found out that it was from an event launched by Simple & Sturdy, an international company that supplied wellness and therapeutic gadgets and equipment. The man of the ceremony then marched toward the center of the stage and picked up a microphone. He ran his eyes before the crowd, took a deep breath when he refocused at the center, then broke into a smile. "You have already seen how gorgeous our company's silver to diamond rankers are. How they made it to the top is truly inspiring. They are our living testimony that success is indeed doable. It is within our grasp if we set our eyes on the price." "But ladies and gentlemen, we're not over yet. The best is yet to come. He's one gorge

I called Zed after I took Ara home. He didn't pick up for some time, so I decided to put my phone down and take a quick shower first. Just as I stepped out of the bathroom, Zed's call went through."Sorry, dear. I forgot to turn my speaker on. My teams are so hyped up that I ride along with their momentum.""It's alright, but why didn't you tell me that you have joined a company?""I would have wanted to surprise you, but I changed my mind when you had Ara in your mind. Anyway, I could still surprise you with my next achievement.""You know that Ara can always tag along with us. But why do you change your mind? I thought you want to stay a freelancer forever?""I can still accept speaking engagements. Only that I need to focus more on this company.""Alright. Whatever you think is best, then I believe it is. Congratulations!""Thank you, dear! But I want a reward tonight." I could see Zed's wicked face in my mind, and I couldn't help

I got guilty after my sexual indulgence with Kim that I hurried out of bed after he alighted out of me. Then, hurrying to the bathroom, I took a hot shower and lathered my skin lavishly, satisfying my wish to remove Kim's traces on my body. Only after he knocked on the door did I stop and changed into the same dress I wore."I'll go now," I told Kim after I blew my hair dry. He was still lying on the bed with his back on the headboard, the lower part of his body covered with sheets. He was looking at me, although fighting over his sleepiness. Then I picked up my bag and my jacket without waiting for his answer."Stay. It's not safe to go out anymore,” he said, jumping out of bed and pulling me into him, but I broke free from his embrace."No. Zed might have woken up and found out that I am not -” I stopped when I saw Kim wincing, giving me a sharp gaze."Please stop mentioning his name whenever you are with me. I might lose my pat
