Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Husband's Affair, My Anniversary Gift : Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

Lily pressed the elevator button and exhaled a long, heavy breath.Her head throbbed from the day’s endless work and David.She told herself she wouldn’t let him affect her anymore, but somehow he always managed to crawl under her skin.The elevator doors slid open, and she stepped out into the cool evening air. The sun was nearly gone, casting long shadows across the glass building. She adjusted her bag over her shoulder, ready to head home and just disappear from everything for a few hours, but she has already promise Jabco for dinner.then, she froze.Standing at the entrance, leaning against his black car, was David.Lily’s stomach twisted. Of course. Of course he’d be here. He had that calm, unreadable expression again, one hand in his pocket, the other holding his phone. The moment he saw her, he put it away and straightened up.She let out a small, frustrated sigh. “Not again,” she muttered under her breath.Ignoring him, she kept walking.David stepped forward before she could

Lily didn’t have an answer, nor did she care to find one. “I’m starving,” she said instead, pushing herself up.“Let’s order takeout.”They spent the evening together, talking over boxes of noodles and cold drinks. For a while, Lily managed to laugh, and the tightness in her chest eased. By the time she finished venting everything that had been building inside her, she felt lighter, like the storm inside her had finally begun to quiet.But still, one thought lingered. David wouldn’t stop. She could see it in his eyes. And she was right, somewhere out there, he was already planning his next move.That night, afraid he might call again, Lily switched off her phone before going to bed. She wanted silence, no messages, no interruptions, and definitely no more of David Hardison.For once, she just wanted to sleep in peace.“You drive. I’m tired,” Noah said the next morning, tossing the car keys toward Lily as they got ready to leave for work.Lily caught them with a frown. “Why me? You can

He turned his phone on silent but kept checking it every two minutes, like an idiot. His jaw tightened. Maybe she didn’t see it yet. Maybe she was still sleeping.Even when he got to his seat in first class, he checked again. Still nothing.Roy was storing their bags overhead when David’s phone vibrated slightly, his heartbeat jumped but it was only a message from Marina.His lips pressed together.He stared at the chat again. The small “Seen” mark never appeared.By the time the flight attendants were announcing takeoff, his patience had already started to crack. He stared out the window, the blue sky reflecting faintly on the glass, but all he could think about was Lily.Was she ignoring him on purpose?Was she still with Jabco?The thought made something ugly burn inside his chest. He unlocked his phone again, fingers trembling slightly, and pressed her name. The line started to ring.Once. Twice.Then a cold, robotic voice echoed in his ear.“The number you have dialed is currentl

Roy didn’t know how to respond. He’d seen his boss angry countless times, but this… this was different. It wasn’t business rage. It was something raw and personal, something David himself didn’t seem able to control.David leaned back, running a hand over his face. His pulse was still racing, and he hated that he even cared this much.But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop seeing her face in his mind, her calm voice when she said she was with someone important.He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. “If she thinks she can just walk away and make me watch, she’s wrong,” he muttered, more to himself than Roy. “She’s mine. And I’ll remind her of that soon enough.”Roy just stood there silently, looking at the broken phone on the floor and wondering if maybe just maybe Lily was the only person who could truly scare David Hardison.Noah and Lily had already planned to go out for dinner together that evening. After a long day of work, Lily was waiting at the front

Within minutes, though it felt like hours, she heard distant sirens. Noah climbed out of the car, her knees weak, and waved her arms desperately.“Here! Over here!” she shouted, her voice breaking in panic.The flashing red and blue lights grew closer until the ambulance pulled up beside the damaged car. Two paramedics rushed toward her.“She hit her head,” Noah said breathlessly, stepping aside so they could reach Lily. “She was unconscious when I checked. She’s still breathing but weak.”“It’s okay, miss, we’ll take care of her,” one of the medics assured her. They gently opened Lily’s door, unbuckled the seatbelt, and began checking her vitals.As they worked, a police car pulled up too. The officers stepped out quickly, taking in the sight of the crashed vehicle. One of them approached Noah.“Are you okay, miss?” he asked.“I’m fine,” she said in a shaky voice. “But my friend… she’s not waking up. Those cars were following us since morning and then...” her voice broke, tears filli
