Lahat ng Kabanata ng He Chose Her, I Chose Me: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

The car wasn't big to begin with, and Regina's hospital bags were already stuffed into the trunk.To prepare for the baby's arrival, Tyler had gone to every maternity store in town. He had filled the backseat with newborn supplies.He carefully helped Regina into the front passenger seat before finally noticing me standing there."Lisa, Gina's holding the baby. Can you squeeze into the back?"He had completely forgotten that I usually got car sick.I hated the smell of public buses so much that I spent over a year saving up to buy my first car.I let Tyler drive it so he could pick me up and drop me off on his way to work. That way, I could sit in the front, roll down the window, and get some fresh air.But now, the passenger seat in my car was occupied by another woman."Sorry, Lisa, I hope you don't mind," Regina said. She flashed an apologetic smile as she cradled the newborn.Then, with misty eyes, she turned to Tyler. "I told you not to pick me up. Look at the backseat, i

The next morning, Regina did get a clogged duct.At the crack of dawn, Tyler yanked me out of bed." I heard fish soup can help with clogged ducts. Go to the market and buy a fish! The lactation specialist just arrived downstairs. I'm going to get her."Groggy, I blinked awake and reached for my phone. A notification popped up: Partner Payment.That lactation specialist was expensive. Just like that, 1,888 dollars was gone from my account.I stretched lazily in bed, taking my time getting dressed.On my way past the master bedroom, I caught a glimpse of Regina clutching her chest while wincing in pain.I smirked.I didn't go to the market for fish.Ever since Regina moved in, Tyler had been obsessed with her. He spent less and less time focusing on work.All his expenses had come straight out of my account for the past two months. That included Regina's new clothes, salon trips, prenatal checkups, and even delivery costs.And every time he transferred money to her, I took a

I had an appointment with the real estate agent in the afternoon.When I brought them inside, Regina was still asleep in the master bedroom.I didn't bother waking her. Instead, I told the agent to check out the place freely, but just to avoid the master bedroom.The apartment was in a prime location, right in the heart of the city, with everything conveniently nearby. It was practically brand new, barely lived in, and renovated with high-quality materials.The agent gave me a solid offer. It wasn't a huge loss, so I agreed on the spot.I couldn't stand being here another second, but someone clearly wanted to stay.Regina eventually emerged from the bedroom and saw me sitting in the living room, discussing paperwork with a group of men.She frowned. "Lisa, what's going on?"I ignored her and continued talking to the agent. "Once the contract is signed, I'll be out within three days. You can come by then to check the place and pick up the keys. I'm leaving everything in your han

I looked Tyler up and down.I hadn't expected to see him in a food delivery uniform.He looked rough. There was unkempt stubble covering his face. It seemed like he hadn't shaved in weeks. His posture slumped with exhaustion.Turns out, after I left, someone had leaked the video of him and Regina into the company group chat.His reputation plummeted overnight. To make things worse, he had already pissed off a major client. So instead of the big promotion he'd been expecting, his boss squeezed every last drop of value out of him before finally kicking him to the curb.With his name blacklisted in the industry, no company would hire him. After struggling for years, he had no choice but to take up a food delivery job.Sitting by the roadside, he let out a bitter laugh. "I always thought you were the one who held a grudge… that you were the one who sent the video to my company."I had never been that petty. I was about to tell him that, but then, a familiar face flickered throug
