Prologue: Not her Husband

"Undress.""Huh? What did you say? I think I'm deaf. Can you say that again?" I subconsciously asked, eyes wide in shock.My palms almost sweat in anticipation of his answer."Is there something wrong with your hearing?"I shook my head to answer his question pretty speechless from his sudden request that sounds more like a request.My heart started thumping loudly, so loud that I am afraid he might hear it."When can I talk to you sober."The man sighed."Come on, tell me. What did you say earlier?"I couldn't help but tease him.His eyes narrowed and he looked away. His grip on my wrist loosened, which disappointed me."It’s nothing. I said you need to go to sleep."Without looking back, he made his way to his room."Still pretentious."I laughed and held my chest in hopes of calming my lively beating heart."You're so impulsive. What if I get addicted to you?"I closed the door softly. I leaned against the wall and untied the strap of my sandals.I feel silly when his words and act

Chapter 1: Witnessing the Husband's Affair

I took a single gulp of the shot of wine. I can feel the bitter drink caressing my throat."I thought you were okay, why don't you look like it?"I didn't pay attention to Luis in front of me, instead it was as if my eyes were fixed on the two people who seemed to be lovers. They are very close to each other with their lips meeting every so often."How about let’s rush and beat them up?"When I put the glass down, I calmly grabbed the handkerchief from my pocket."Yes, let's do that," said George staring seriously at Luis.Luis Castillo is my boss- no, my former boss. He possesses both Filipino and Indian blood, who owns a clothing business. George is a friend of Luis who came with us back to the Philippines.I worked as a manager, for almost 2 years, under Luis in Delhi. However, I resigned 2 days ago to have a talk with Lejandro, my husband, and now here I am.I couldn't help but stand up when I saw them get up and go out. I was no longer able to pay attention to my companions."Xan

"Just by the Orion Hotel, Sir.""Just drop me here, here's the payment. Thank you."When the tricycle stopped, I immediately handed the fare to the man."Are you going on vacation, ma’am or do you have family on the island?"“Ah, I’m just going on vacation.""Oh is that so, welcome to Catanduanes! Don't forget to wander around, it's definitely worth your time to come here.""I really intend to make the most of it because I've only just set foot here."I got out of the car and pulled my suitcase out. Just as I was fixing it, another passenger handed over my traveling bag which was placed on the roof of the tricycle.It's a bit heavy so I just put it atop the suitcase."Selio, please help Ma'am to carry her things because it looks like she's going to have a hard time going up.""Oh no, don't. I don't want to bother you and besides, it's embarrassing, I can handle my things it’s not heavy at all."I quickly raised my hands to protest."It's okay."I almost jumped in shock when I heard th

Chapter 3: Is He Really Tempted

Why should I cry?Why should I even cry for?I should have known better.I should have thought a hundred times before I tied the knot with that person. If I hadn't been too hasty and given in to my emotions, I would have had more choices now.Two nights have passed but I still can't get Lejandro's answer to my question out of my mind.'Forgive me, dear. I only did that because I was so excited to be with you but you didn't let me have my way with you. In fact, you are the only one in my mind and heart even though I have a different partner. I was only tempted because of that woman's eyes. I didn't mean to.'He didn't even deny it, he even managed to blame me for his lust for the flesh and infidelity.'You know that even then many sexy women forced themselves on me, but I married you. Just forgive me, my wife, I will never give in to others temptation again. You are the only one I love.'I thought at first I could forgive him when I found out his side of the story, but I was wrong.Sho

Chapter 4: Zellorion's Pet

"Achoo!"I couldn't help but sneeze a few times because of an unbearable itch coming from the tip of my nose.A pair of shining round blue eyes were revealed when I opened my eyes. I scrambled backward and froze in shock."Mommy!"I didn't even realize I had fallen on the bed if my butt hadn't hurt.The sudden actions made my head dizzy. I was almost hit my head at a small table beside the bed."What happened? Are you okay?"I immediately pointed at the black cat with blue eyes. He was sitting leisurely atop the bed while grooming his fur."There is a cat. Can you make the cat go away please?" I begged the newcomer hoarsely without taking my eyes off the cat."Oh, you're here, I've been looking for you. Luffy, come here."When the cat heard what the man said, it jumped down on the bed and slowly walked away from me.My gaze followed its every move until my eyes landed on a familiar man.The man was tall with brown skin. His tantalizing sky-blue eyes, seems to speak volume.Eyes that a
