All Chapters of His Brother's Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

-=Ang's Point of View=-I decided to miss dinner, so when one of the maids knocked on my door, I told her to tell my mom that I wasn't hungry and just wanted to sleep, but the truth is, I just wanted to make sure that everything was ready for the fruition of my plan.Actually, everything was ready; the hidden cameras were all set, as was the computer, but I guess I was just readying myself for what was about to happen between me and Miranda.I was gazing at the ceiling of my room when I heard another knock on the door, thinking it was one of the maids. I opened it, only to be surprised to see a confused Miranda."Care to explain to me what's with the flower and your notes?" she asked sternly.I inhaled deeply to control my emotions at that very moment. I knew I should despise Miranda, but I couldn't help but feel a strong urge to embrace her and give her a passionate kiss. I resisted the urge, though."Did you like the flowers?" was what came out of my mouth instead of a reply to her

-=Ang's Point of View=-To be honest, I don't even know where to begin because I really don't know much about Miranda's life."And yet you judge her as if you're absolutely sure that she's despicable and the worst person in the world." I feel even more terrible when I think about how I've depicted her from the beginning as if she's the worst person when I haven't even tried to learn who the real Miranda is."You can see that she's a good person, but your blind anger has blinded you because you thought she was only after your brother's money," the other part of my mind says. I still don't understand how she could be a virgin after being married multiple times, and one of my concerns is that Anthony will wake up and discover what I did to his wife. But for the time being, the most important thing is to find Miranda and ask her forgiveness. I'm willing to kneel in front of her simply to be forgiven."You're such a huge idiot!" I say fiercely to myself, tears streaming down both cheeks,

-=Ang's Point of View=-I felt like I lost the capability to speak after hearing Anthony's question; I couldn't stop myself from glancing back at Andres, who also appeared to be uneasy.I tried to think of a way to tell him about what happened while he was still in a coma, how I managed to seduce his wife into having sex with me in order to prove that Miranda was an awful woman, only to discover the truth when I realized she was a virgin, and how I could possibly explain to him how his righteous brother ended up falling in love with his wife.He was waiting for me to speak, and as the minute ticked by, I knew I couldn't keep telling him the truth, but as soon as I opened my mouth to speak, the door swung open, revealing a still disheveled mom, who I could tell was crying outside; she probably didn't want Anthony to witness her breakdown."I've already called your doctor, and he's on his way here," Mom replied, smiling as she looked at Anthony. I sighed with relief since, somehow, the

-=Miranda's Point of View=-The tears I'd been keeping back eventually came out. I thought I could handle the pain, but I was mistaken. I knew it when I saw the man who had given me so much agony—the person I'd grown to love despite all my attempts to prevent it.Honestly, I didn't expect him to look for me, so I was caught off guard when I saw him in Sister Lita's office. I thought that now that he already had my signature fixed on the divorce papers, he would stop bothering me, but obviously, I was mistaken.The pain returned as I remembered what he did to me the night I submitted myself to him.My thoughts were in turmoil at those times because I was torn about what I should do. I promised Anthony that I would stay his wife until he felt ready to tell his family the truth, but now I am not sure whether I could honor that promise.We got married not out of love but because he asked for my help and I wanted to help him.Honestly, I never wanted or imagined doing this kind of thing. I

-=Ang's Point of View=-It has been weeks since I tried talking to her to apologize and to have her back when I visited the orphanage where she grew up, it didn't turn out how I wanted it to be, but that is to be expected considering the severity of what I did to her.I planned on giving her time, but it didn't mean that I would stop trying to reach out to her, every day that passes without her is a huge punishment that I deserved, but it doesn't mean that I wasn't hurting from those days, especially every moment when I thought about the woman I truly love, the one I hurt because of my stupid accusation and more stupid action.All those days that passed, there was never a time when I thought of just going to her, but I held myself, thinking that it was the least thing I could do for her, for her to have time for herself."Stay away from me."I suddenly remembered the last time I saw her and the last request she made which I couldn't grant, even though it was her who made that request.
