Chapter 31 The Ex and The Husband

KiannaThe morning sun filtered through the windows of the Ishii residence, casting a warm glow over the living room. It was Saturday, my favorite day of the week, mostly because my house chores were already finished. Ares had left the house exceptionally early for work, but not before preparing a delicious breakfast and leaving me lunch money alongside a sweet handwritten note. A small smile tugged at my lips just thinking about it. He really was the definition of a responsible, caring husband. Every single day, I found myself thanking my lucky stars that our paths had crossed."Marcy is always buried in schoolwork these days," Miaree mumbled, shifting her weight as she reclined flat on her back against the cool floor. "I really wish he wouldn't run for the student council presidency next year. Then maybe we could actually hang out like we used to."I laughed softly, keeping my focus on the canvas in front of us. We were currently in the middle of a painting session, trying our best t

Chapter 32 Baby

KiannaThe silence in the car followed us all the way inside the house. He didn't say a single word, didn't ask how my day went, and barely even glanced in my direction as he moved past me. My chest tightened as I watched him walk away. What could possibly be troubling him so deeply? The heavy weight of his silence pressed down on my shoulders, making it hard to breathe. I knew I needed to talk to him, to clear the air, but the words felt trapped in my throat.First, I desperately needed a shower. My skin crawled with a suffocating discomfort. It felt as though Vincent’s rough grip still lingered on my wrist, a sickening reminder of his touch that I needed to wash away immediately. Stripping off my clothes, I stepped straight into the bathroom and turned the faucet, letting the cool water cascade over me.As the water drenched my hair and slid down my body, my thoughts began to race out of control, flooding my mind with painful questions I hadn't invited in. Why do the people you love

Chapter 33 I'll Do Everything

Kianna Since we completely ran out of time to cook dinner, Ares and I decided to eat out. The restaurant we found was glowing with vibrant green and red neon lights that caught my eye from the street. The moment we stepped through the doors, a beautifully dressed hostess greeted us with a warm, genuine smile and led us straight to our reserved table. A rich, mouthwatering aroma drifted from the kitchen, making my stomach rumble instantly. The place was packed and bursting with energy, the servers darting between tables to keep up with the rush. It looked like a massive challenge to keep everyone happy, but the staff handled it gracefully.As we wove through the crowded tables, I leaned closer to Ares and lowered my voice. "This place looks incredibly expensive, hon.""Hey, don't worry about it," Ares murmured, giving my hand a gentle, reassuring squeeze. "I just got a bonus at work. Let's just have a beautiful night and forget about the bill."All around us, families were laughing and

Chapter 34 Disaster

KiannaI kicked off the heavy blankets and padding my way toward the kitchen. The rich, deep aroma of freshly brewed coffee was already waiting for me, winding its way through the air just like it did every single morning. I was never the type to wake up early with a smile on my face, but today, that specific scent hit me with a jolt, making my eyes snap wide open. Everything felt heavier, more electric than usual. My chest tightened as the realization settled into my bones: today was the day Ares would finally sit across from my father, my venomous stepmother, and my treacherous half-sister.I found Ares standing right in front of the stove, his left hand braced firmly on his hip while his right hand expertly worked a spatula. Pancake batter sizzled and popped against the hot griddle. Stepping in close beside him, I leaned my weight against the cool kitchen cabinet, silently tracking every small, calculated movement of his wrists.Over the past few months, I had actually grown to appr

Chapter 35 Miaree Vs. Vera

KiannaThe heat from the asphalt baked right through the soles of my shoes. I had opted for a thirty-minute taxi ride over a miserable walk in this midday sun, but stepping out of the cab offered little relief.Before I could even close the door, a tug on my sleeve pulled my attention downward.A young boy stood there, his fingers curled into the fabric of my shirt. His skin was smudged with layers of street dust, and his oversized t-shirt hung loose from his bony shoulders."M-Miss?" His voice trembled, barely rising above the roar of the city traffic. "Do you have any spare change? Just a few coins."I stopped, looking from his hollow cheeks to the glowing sign of the restaurant just a few yards away. "How about a hot meal instead? I’m heading inside right now. Come eat with me."The boy flinched, pulling his hand back as if he had been burned. He tucked his arms behind his back, staring at his bare feet. "I... I can’t go in there. I smell too bad. The people inside will get angry at

Chapter 36 Curiosity

KiannaThe last rays of sunset bled across the sky, painting our quiet little town in shades of bruised purple and gold. My legs ached from the walk back from school, each step heavy with an exhaustion that settled deep into my bones.Passing the market street, a sudden thought broke through my mental fog. 'The fridge is empty. ' We were completely out of fresh milk.I turned into the local supermarket, the chime above the door ringing softly. The security guard by the entrance offered a familiar nod, and I forced a small, tired smile back before heading straight for the dairy aisle. A bright yellow tag caught my eye—a buy-one-get-one promotion. I grabbed two plastic jugs of milk, the cold condensation biting into my palms.On my way to the registers, a display of freshly baked bread caught my eye in the corner. Realizing my hands were full, I dragged a shopping cart over. The metal clattered loudly as I dropped the milk inside. From there, the trip became a blur. My mind drifted, and

Chapter 37 Role

KiannaI twirled my fork through the remains of the savory, garlic-infused chicken adobo on my plate, my appetite suddenly giving way to the thoughts circling my head.Two years of marriage, and four months into this new, quiet life in our small home, and I was still trying to find my footing. What did it actually mean to be a wife? Society had its rigid little checklists—joint accounts, mortgages, a white picket fence, a nursery down the hall. But looking across the table at Ares, I realized we didn’t have to follow anyone else’s blueprint. We could build this entirely on our own terms.I set my cutlery down against the ceramic with a soft click."You know, this is incredible," I said, gesturing to the empty serving dish between us. "But you really don't have to do this every night. I don't ever expect you to come home and immediately play chef. I'm perfectly capable of throwing a frozen pizza in the oven or taking over the stove."Ares paused, a piece of chicken halfway to his mouth.

Chapter 38 Lunchbox

KiannaThe alarm cut through the quiet morning, and my stomach instantly tightened with a nervous flutter. I threw off the blankets, determined to make this perfect. Today was my debut as a cooking wife, and I wanted Ares to love every single bite.In the kitchen, I scrubbed my hands under hot water before pulling out my phone. I queued up Britney Spears' "Sometimes," letting the upbeat rhythm bounce off the walls to quiet my nerves.The prep work became a blur of motion. Within an hour, a rich, savory aroma began to drift through the house. I washed the tiers of the lunchbox and set them on the counter, ready to assemble. First went the fried rice—light, fluffy, and completely free of excess grease. Just as I packed it down, the oven timer chimed.I pulled the roasted chicken out, the golden-brown skin still sizzling and popping. The knife glided through the meat, releasing a rush of steaming, flavorful juices beneath a perfectly crisp exterior. I arranged the pieces meticulously in t

Chapter 39 Shortcut

KiannaAres set his fork down against the empty plastic container, and right on cue, Kyle’s head popped into the room to signal he was stepping into the corridor to answer a ringing phone.I sat back on the plush sofa, watching the hands of the executive office clock tick closer to 1:00 p.m. The second the hour struck, I stood up and began packing the empty containers back into the lunchbox."Are you headed out already?" Ares asked, instantly rising from his desk to help me snap the lids shut."Yes," I said, sliding the box into my canvas tote. "Your lunch break is officially over, and I don't want to get in the way of your actual work. A corporate office isn't exactly the place for me to hang around.""Hon, seriously, it’s fine," Ares said, reaching out to catch my hand. "The workload is light today since the big boss is away in Manila. You could easily stay here, and we can just drive home together later."I shook my head, gently pulling my hand back. "No, it's alright."The truth wa

Chapter 40 Mom

KiannaMy eyes fluttered open. For once, the morning didn't arrive with a harsh, jarring shock. Instead, the awakening felt gentle, as if the soft memory of my mother's voice had slowly coaxed me from sleep.The bedroom remained cloaked in deep, pre-dawn shadows. Outside the window, the faint blue tint of the dwindling night danced across the curtains, but a sliver of comforting light was already beginning to seep under the door. I rolled over, letting out a long, languid yawn, and pulled the blankets tighter. It was too early. I wanted nothing more than to linger in this peaceful stillness before the sun forced the world into its frantic, chaotic routine—and before the lingering terror of yesterday's alleyway could fully take root in my mind.I reached out across the mattress. Cold fabric met my fingertips.The sheet beside me was completely smooth. A cold spike of reality woke me up completely, and I sat up, throwing the blankets aside. I padded into the living room, but the space wa
