“THAT LOOKS GOOD on you, anak.”Daphne smiled as she turned to BK’s mother. She was standing in front of a boutique mirror in that mall. She had also picked something to wear, following the older woman’s suggestion. She said she’d pay for it too, since she was the one who invited her out.BK’s mother had just returned from Caramoan yesterday. She picked her up from university after her class today. Daphne had given her the schedule the night before, so she knew exactly what time to fetch her.“Thank you, Ma.”She looked at herself again in the mirror. Even without trying it on, she knew it fit perfectly. She wasn’t planning to buy anything because she still had plenty of dresses, even from gifts, but the older woman kept insisting on getting her one. She didn’t want to upset her.Her face crumpled slightly when she caught a glimpse of someone else trying on dresses in the mirror’s reflection. Her eyes dropped to the woman’s noticeably pregnant belly. It really was Amber, the same pers

DAPHNE FLINCHED when she heard the loud honk outside. The guard wasn’t around. He’d told her he was stepping out to send money to a relative just outside their subdivision. The gate was locked per her instructions since he was away. So BK wouldn’t be able to open it from the outside if it was indeed him. That was one of the gate’s features. It could only be opened from the inside.She wiped her hands with a clean kitchen towel and headed out. It was BK. He had gotten out of the car and was peering inside the guardhouse from the gate.She gave him a dry smile when he waved.Like it was nothing?She turned away and walked back to the door. She pressed something on the screen to open the gate. Then, she returned to the kitchen.She’d spent the whole day cleaning the house. She wanted to keep her mind busy. She didn’t want to overthink. She had to be sharp for tomorrow. It was the day of her report.She noticed BK enter from the corner of her eye. She knew he was about to hug her, so she

DAPHNE WOKE UP to Amelie shaking her.“Daph, wake up. Don’t you have class tomorrow? It’s seven already. Are you sleeping here tonight?”“I thought I was allowed to stay here?”“You are. I was just thinking about your classes.”“Just lend me some clothes. I brought everything I need for school anyway.”There probably wasn’t a quiz, so it was fine if she didn’t study.“Sure.” Amelie looked at her seriously afterwards. “Your husband texted. What should I say?”“Tell him I’m not here. I’ll just message him that we have group work and I need to sleep over so we can finish.”Her friend nodded. “Your call.”“Thanks, Amelie.”She bowed her head and then looked at her friend seriously.“What should I do? Please tell me what the best thing to do is. I can’t think straight. I don’t even know how to tell him I already know.”Amelie sighed and sat beside her.“I’m not the perfect woman, Daph. I don’t know if what I’ll say will help. But I think you two should talk—together. You’re married, so the

DAPHNE held her head when the pain struck. She groaned a moment later.She hadn’t even managed to sit on the bed yet when her vision spun.She decided it was best to lie down first.She glanced around the entire room. It wasn’t hers.‘Whose room could this be?’ she asked herself.She slapped her forehead when she remembered her professor—Emmanuel Yu.She was likely in his house. She couldn’t recall anything that happened after.She was right. Moments later, Emmanuel entered the room carrying a tray. Embarrassing—he had even cooked for her.“I’m sorry, Sir…” She held her head as she guided herself into a sitting position.“You need this soup to ease your hangover,” he said as he set the tray on the side table.He smiled at her.“Just finish this first before you sleep again. With all those mixed drinks, the headache must be killing you, especially since you're not used to it. If you’d like to shower, the things are ready inside too,” he added.She felt even more embarrassed.“Thank you

Daphne glanced at the clock several more times before finally lying down. She was still hoping BK would come home just like he said. But it was already the second night she spent in their house waiting for him, and he still hadn’t returned. She didn’t want to leave their home without talking to him first, especially since he told her to wait for his return. But why wasn’t he here yet? She couldn’t stay in their home, this sad and empty. She felt like she was going insane wondering what he was doing. She was overthinking everything. Maybe it would be better if they weren’t under the same roof for now.She could still feel how much her husband loved her, but space was what they both needed. She needed rest. And right now, she could feel the exhaustion from everything she’d been through. She hadn’t truly recovered from all the pain, and now this new problem was dragging her down even more. It was like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.She grabbed her phone and fi
