I hide my identity and pursue him, staying by his side for six years and helping him become the company's chairman. Everyone knows I'm his girlfriend and assumes I'll be the one he marries.

Puzzled, my dad confronts him and demands an explanation. "Your girlfriend is clearly Lisa. Why would you marry someone else?" Lance's expression turns cold and disdainful. "She's just some poor woman with no family, no connections, no influence. Sure, she stuck by me through the hard times, but she's not wife material. Besides, she's not even in Ella's league. Why would I settle for her?" Hiding behind the door, I feel my heart shatter. In that moment, I finally understand that I'm someone he can discard at any time. I look at my heartbroken dad and smile bitterly. "Dad, I lost." I accept the arranged marriage Dad sets up for me. But just as I'm about to marry someone else, Lance kneels before me, full of regret and remorse. "Lis, I was wrong. Please don't marry him."

Handa ka bang talikuran ang isang pagsasamang nabuo lamang mula sa isang kasinungalingan? "Naiintindihan ko kung bakit kinamumuhian mo ako, Diane. Huli na rin nang malaman ko ang ginawang panloloko sa'yo ni Caleb pero maniwala ka man o hindi, nagawa niya lamang ang lahat ng iyon para sa akin, para sa kapakanan naming dalawa ng anak kong si Theo. Kaya hanggang maari, huwag mo sana siyang sisisihin." "Malinaw sa akin ang lahat nang ikinasal kaming dalawa ni Caleb, Serena. Alam kong may limitasyon ang pagsasama naming dalawa at kung si Theo ang pag-uusapan, malinaw sa akin ang karapatan mo bilang biological mother." Ngumiti ito— isang ngiting hindi niya maintindihan kung ano ang ibig sabihin. "Hindi na ako magpapaligoy-ligoy pa, Diane." Inilatag nito sa mesa ang isang dokumento at sinadyang itulak ng kamay papalapit sa kaniya. "Handa na akong bawiin ang mag-ama ko. Heto ang application for annulment ninyong dalawa ni Caleb..." Pinakinggan niya ang mga sinasabi nito mula umpisa hanggang dulo. "Ibig sabihin, handang ibigay sa'yo ni Caleb ang mansyon at ang rest house sa Tagaytay. Maliban doon, handa siyang bayaran ka ng limampung milyon bilang kabayaran sa limang taong pagsasama ninyong dalawa." Muling nagtama ang mga mata nilang dalawa, doon nasilayan niya kung paano naging nakakalason ang maamong ngiti ni Serena kanina. "If you think everything's okay. Pwede ka nang pumirma." Nanatiling blanko ang ekspresyon niya sa kinatatayuan. Hindi nito alam kung matutuwa ba siya o masisilaw sa mga ari-arian at milyones na alok ng dalawa. Dahil kung tutuusin, isa lang naman ang gusto niya...gusto nitong makalaya mula sa mala-impyernong buhay kasama si Caleb.

Our seventh wedding anniversary. I sat at the dining table—alone. My phone buzzed, lighting up with two messages. First, from Tom: [Working late at the office tonight.] Second, anonymous: [Tom is incredible. Can you even keep up?] Attached was a picture of him, lips locked with a woman I didn't recognize. I blew out the candles on the anniversary cake. Eyes shut, I typed back: [Let's divorce.]
