It Was Never Meant To Be

Sa loob ng pitong taong pagsasama, manhid at parang yelo lamang ang pakitungo ni Samuel, Varron sa kanya, habang si Mauren Piñeda naman ay lagi lang nakangiti. Dahil mahal na mahal niya ito, naniniwala siyang balang araw ay mapapalambot din niya ang puso nito. Pero ang hinihintay niya ay hindi iyon. Sa halip, ang sumalubong sa kanya ay ang pagkahulog nito agad sa ibang babae at ang iparamdam dito ang pagmamahal at pag-aarugang matagal na niyang inaasam. Pilit pa rin niyang pinangatawanan ang pagsasama nila. Hanggang sa dumating ang kaarawan niya lumipad pa siya nang malayo para makasama ang asawa at anak, pero iniwan siya nito para samahan ang ibang babae. Naiwan siyang mag-isa sa malaking bahay. Doon na tuluyang nawalan ng pag-asa si Mauren. At nang makita niyang mas gusto pa ng anak niya na yung babae ang maging ina nito, wala na siyang naramdaman kahit kaunting sakit o awa. Gumawa siya ng kasunduan sa diborsyo, isinuko na rin ang kustodiya sa anak, at umalis nang buong dangal. Hinayaan na lang niya ang mag-ama at naghintay na lang ng papeles. Iniwan niya ang pamilya at bumalik sa trabaho. Yung dating minamata ng lahat, ngayon ay madali nang kumita at umabot ang yaman niya sa mahigit isang-daang bilyon. Pero naghintay siya nang matagal, wala pa ring lumabas na papel. At ang mas nakakagulat, yung lalaking dati na ayaw umuwi, ngayon ay parang linta na kung dumikit ay araw-araw nang umuuwi. Nang malaman niyang desidido na siyang makipaghiwalay, hinarang siya nito sa isang sulok at seryosong sinabing, "Diborsyo? Imposible 'yan.”

When I was five months pregnant, I was kidnapped by a group of thugs. They used my phone to call my brother, Jeremy Wirkola, and my husband, Grant Sanders, to demand a ransom of ten million, but no one answered. I was tortured and assaulted until I was barely alive. When I was finally rescued, Jeremy cried and promised to avenge me. Grant was in tears too. He vowed to get me treated. However, while under the haze of anesthesia, I overheard Grant's cold voice outside the door. “Jessie is waiting for a bone marrow, but don’t forget to remove Ashlyn’s uterus. Just tell her the injuries were too severe to save it. Oh, and get the best surgeon for her. She’s afraid of pain.” His assistant hesitated. He was clearly uncomfortable. “Mr. Sanders, isn’t this going too far?” Grant paused for a second before he replied firmly. “She refused to donate her bone marrow to Jessie and even used the baby as an excuse. She’s selfish. Besides, if we don’t do this, how can I bring back Jessie and our child into the family? As for Ashlyn, she’s my wife. I’ll make it up to her for the rest of my life. She used to bully Jessie with her status, which resulted in Jessie suffering from depression and almost killing herself. It’s time she paid the price for it.” As I listened to his heartless words, something inside me shattered completely. Since they had chosen to sacrifice me for Jessie, let them have what they wanted then.

During the eight years I spent by Alpha David’s side, I also raised the pup he had with my late sister. At his birthday banquet, I accidentally wore one of her old dresses. Eight-year-old Dorian grabbed a pot of freshly brewed coffee and poured it over me— right in front of the maids. The scalding liquid burned my skin, and when I looked up, I saw the same cold disgust in his eyes that I’d seen so many times in his father’s. “How dare you wear my mother’s dress?” he sneered. “You’ll never replace her. You killed her with that wicked heart of yours!” The coffee seared more than my flesh. It burned straight through my heart. I looked at the child I’d raised for eight long years. I didn’t feel angry. I didn’t even feel sad. Only a quiet kind of exhaustion. “Don’t worry,” I whispered. “I’ll leave tomorrow.”
