My Apron

I won eight million overnight. The first thing I did was rush to the hospital to pay for my son's surgery and treatment. That was when my phone rang. Ian, a coworker from the company, called, "Something urgent came up! You need to get back here right this instant!" My wife, Mara, took the bank card from my hand, and said with an gentle and understanding voice, "You can give me the PIN. I'll take care of our son's hospital bills. Go. Work is important. Don't worry about us." In my previous life, I didn't hesitate one bit. I trusted her completely and hurried back to the office. My son never made it into surgery. Instead, the police came for me. It turned out that Mara and Ian had conspired together to frame me, pinning the crime of embezzling company funds on me. The very money Ian had stolen. With no money for treatment, my son died in the hospital. My parents, shattered by grief, suffered fatal heart attacks one after the other. And I, rotting in prison, ended my life in despair. After my death, my soul drifted to the holiday villas of Moldeves, where Mara was on vacation. I heard her laughing as she spoke to Ian, "That idiot won a fortune and wasted it on that useless sick kid. He dragged me into a miserable life." Laughing even harder, she added, "Now, their whole family is dead, and we get to enjoy wealth for the rest of our lives. Consider it compensation from that idiot! Haha!" Then, I opened my eyes. I was back in the hospital corridor, at the exact moment my wife reached out and took the bank card from me. This time, I still told her the PIN.

Ever since we brought our six-year-old daughter, Elise, home, she's been keeping her distance. My husband, Patrick Sheeter, chalked it up to "adjustment issues." Told me to bring her more gifts when I got back from my overseas trip. I was halfway out the door when I heard her voice in my head. 'Should I tell Mom that Della always hits me? 'Dad says Mom hates tattletales. Especially me. 'But if I keep quiet, I might not make it till Mom gets back.' My stomach flipped. I turned around.

Sa mata ng lahat, isa lang akong ordinaryong secretary na walang halaga sa pinakamalaking kumpanya sa bansa. Tahimik akong gumagalaw sa opisina habang pinapanood ang mga kasamahan kong halos sambahin ang malamig, makapangyarihan, at walang pusong CEO—si Evander de la Cruz. Para sa kanila, siya ang lalaking hindi kailanman bababa sa antas ng isang tulad ko. Pero ang hindi nila alam… asawa ko siya. Isang taon na mula nang ikasal kami nang palihim. Sa harap ng lahat, ako’y parang alipin lang ng trabaho, at siya nama’y boss na ni hindi ako pinapansin. Pero sa likod ng saradong pintuan ng kanyang opisina, nagbabago ang lahat. Doon, siya ang lalaking sabik sa aking haplos, handang lumuhod para lamang maramdaman ang init ng aking pagmamahal. Pinili kong itago ang aming kasal upang patunayan na kaya kong magsikap gamit ang sarili kong pangalan. Ngunit habang tumatagal, mas nagiging lantad ang pag-aangkin ni Evander—at mas nagiging mapanganib ang mundo sa paligid namin. Lalo na nang magsimulang gumalaw si Clarisse Montenegro, ang ambisyosang team leader na gagawin ang lahat para siraan ako at mapasakanya si Evander. At mas lalong lumala ang lahat nang pumasok sa eksena si Alessandro Cortez, ang tuso at mapanganib na CEO ng partner company na nahulog sa akin at handang gamitin ang negosyo para agawin ako mula kay Evander. Sa gitna ng mga lihim, tukso, at laban sa kapangyarihan, isa lang ang malinaw: kapag ang malamig na CEO ay umibig, hindi siya uurong sa digmaan. At ako ang dahilan ng digmaang iyon.
