ASHLEY NICOLE AMORES

I didn't see any trace of a lie; I think he's telling the truth.

While he was crying, I hugged him, and he buried his face in my chest. I felt his tears.

Am I weak now? Tsk. This man... Why does it feel like...  I don't get it, but when he said he loves me, I felt very happy.

"I love you too, Zandro," I said, smiling at him. When he heard and saw that, he cried even more. He's like a kid.

"Really... really...?" he said, crying.

"Yes, I am," I said.

In the past few days, we've been okay.  It's just that I didn't really like it when he went to work alone, so he always brought me with him.

He promised me that he would never do that again, ever, for my sake. Beside, he never like it. It wasn't even intentional and he just woke up naked beside that leech.

"Wife, do you want to eat now?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said, sitting on the couch while playing on my phone. We're on a new level now.  It feels good.

"What do you want to eat?" he asked.

"Mangoes with bagoong, mayonnaise, and peanuts. Go buy them for me," I said, dismissing him. He's already used to me by now.

He left, but he took a long time to come back, making me impatient. Then, my stomach suddenly churned, and I vomited again. This is probably always going to happen because of my eating mangoes, bagoong, mayonnaise, and peanuts. Hmm.

Even though I vomited, it was just saliva, tsk. I don't know.

When I came out of the bathroom, Zandro was just entering.

While I was eating, he just looked at me.

"You're so weird, wife, always," he said. Fine, I hit him. He always says that, tsk.

WE'RE at the mansion, and we're in the bedroom. He's already finished showering, so it's my turn.

I went out wearing only a tapis (a traditional Filipino wrap-around garment) because the cabinet is outside.  It's not like it's in the bathroom, though there might be one there too.

After going out, I went straight to the cabinet and put on my nightgown.

Suddenly, a hand caressed my waist, and it was the cold man.

I was surprised when he kissed and licked my ear. I turned to scold him when he kissed me. I don't know, but I was also responding. My body moved on its own, and I didn't realize I was already lying on the bed.

He removed my tapis, so I covered my body.

"No need to hide it, wife. I've already seen that," he said, making me blush. He caressed my breasts, and then... and that's where it started.

And that happened to us that night.  I'm waiting for the cold man on the sofa because it's already night. Lately, he always comes home late.  Why?

Sometimes, I don't even notice him coming. I just wake up, and he's already in the bedroom beside me. Sometimes, when I wake up, he's gone, making me feel sad.

Does he have a problem? Why doesn't he tell me?

The door opened, so I greeted him with a smile and kissed his cheek.

"How's your day?" I said smiling, and we went to the kitchen.

"Good," he said coldly. He's been like this for the past few days, but I've just ignored it. I understand him because maybe he just has a problem.

After we ate, we went to the bedroom. He's still typing on his laptop. Does he have a problem?

"Let's go to sleep," I said.

"Go first. I need to finish this," he said briefly and coldly. So I lay down sadly. I'm so sleepy, so I just went to sleep.

I woke up, and he was gone, making me cry. Maybe he has a problem, but why doesn't he tell me?

I decided to visit him, so I'm now at the lobby of his company. I was about to enter when I heard some noise. They were talking, so I eavesdropped. Oh, gossip time, ladies!

"What are you doing here again, Althea?" Cold man's voice, with Althea, again, tsk.

"You know why I want you to go with me for a check-up, okay?" Althea said, tsk. And why is she important? She's so annoying.

"You can do that on your own," cold man said coldly.

"But I'm pregnant, and I can't handle it by myself," Althea said, tsk. So what if she's pregnant? Why doesn't she ask the one who got her pregnant?  Why cold man?

"You're the father, so take responsibility,"  The world crumbled when I heard that. It felt like the sky and the earth fell on me. I cried. I hate him. He even... he... he's so stupid.

"Okay, fine." I ran outside and sped off in my car. I hate him so much. I decided to leave. I don't want to ruin a relationship. All this time, he's just been fooling me. How stupid.

I quickly packed my things—just ten days' worth of clothes and my important things. I took our photo together—just a souvenir, haha.

Even though I'm crying, I can still laugh inside. I'm that strong.

I left a divorce paper and a letter on the table. Taking my car, I went to the airport. I really don't want someone fooling me. I hate it so much.  It turns out he's cold and doesn't care about me anymore because of that girl, and she's pregnant. How pathetic. Is that you, jerk? Tsk.
