My Ex-Husband's Temptation 19: Meeting Each Other
WINTER:My heart tightened looking at my ex-husband’s reaction. It seemed like he was in disbelief upon seeing Liam for the second time. Who wouldn’t? He was seeing the mini-version of him. Was I feeling guilty that I kept our son away from him? Partly. But those small thoughts telling me that my ex-husband deserved it was the one who was victorious. Calcifer brought this upon himself.You are punishing Liam for his Dad’s sins. Your son deserved a father who will guide him as he grows up, the other part of my mind said. Am I punishing my son? Is that what it was called? I did not want anything but to make my son happy. It was not bad, right? But how could I do that if my ex-husband was suddenly in the equations?“Mommy!” Liam exclaimed while giggling as Ynes was tailing him. The old woman was already saying that her knees were in pain and now Liam made her walk fast. If not, maybe run earlier. “Liam. You have to walk slowly or else you will stumble. Wait for Ynes.”Not listening t
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 20: I Want You Know
20: I Want To Know, TooWINTER:Liam was waiting for my answer while my ex-husband was giving me an apologetic look. He was cheating on our marriage. Jett-Jett was not his child, my foot. Damn him to hell!“Mommy?”“Yes, Liam. I-It is.”My ex-husband opened his mouth but closed it again. He knew for a fact that I never belieevd when he said that Jett-Jett was his daughter. Period. How long will he keep on denying it so that he won’t anger me?I stood. “Where are you going, Mommy?”“I will look for Uncle Hawk.” To Ynes on the corner, I ordered, “Ynes, please grab a drink for Liam and Calcifer. I will just go out and talk to Hawk.” To my ex-husband, I said, “Take care of my child. I will be coming back. Don’t make him cry.”“Why would you come after him? To console him?” he asked, pertaining to Hawk.“Isn’t that what I am supposed to do?” I asked back.“If he could not control his feelings, he does not deserve you.”“I will be the one to decide who deserved me or not.”We stared for a
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 21: No Need
WINTER:My first reaction was to stay away from Hawk and search for some alibi as to why we were talking side by side. But then, I was reminded that I had nothing to be guilty about. My ex-husband had no longer right over me. Besides, why would I feel guilty when he never even bothered to get jealous before? Yeah. He was a good husband but when someone showed their intentions towards me, my ex-husband never reacted. So why?“Where is Liam?” I asked instead when Hawk’s response was a glare.“You’re smoking even if Winter is beside you?” he asked Hawk, watching the cigarette butt on the ashtray.“I killed it when she was here,” he explained.“Stop making everything a big deal, Calcifer. Hawk was telling the truth and he will not do anything that would endanger my life. He loves me that much compared to you who never was sensitive to my feelings.”“What I did in the past was wrong, pumpkin. I was aware of that. I came here to redeem myself.”“You came here for my son. Not me. Let’s be c
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 22: Carmela
WINTER: I silently sighed in relief after Hawk was pulled away from me. I was still not ready to kiss any man. Yet.It was not because my ex-husband was right in front of me. It had nothing to do with it because if it did, it would only make him be good at himself, thinking I still had feelings for him. It was because I did not want the feeling of being kissed by someone whom I did not have any feelings for. Was Hawk that bad?Definitely not.The next time I would kiss, it would be to someone whom I liked. I won’t be repeating the same mistake I committed a couple of years ago. I lifted my chin while seeing Hawk pull himself away from Calcifer and distance himself, returning to my side. “You want us to kiss, but you’re the one who pulled me away from Winter.”“Like I said, I don’t want to see anyone kiss Winter,” Calcifer answered casually. I hated how confident he looked. It seemed like he was thinking that there was some kind of chance between us even if there was none.“You do
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 23: Votes
WINTER:I was right. It was Carmela, but why did my ex-husband deny it at first? He never changed after three years. He was still denying everything when it involved Carmela. He loved her that much that was why he kept on protecting her. He even divorced me because of that woman.Why?Was she beautiful and richer than me? Or was she even good at bed? My chest tightened.Why was I feeling like this again? He should not have any control of my feelings, right? He had nothing to do with me, right? But why did it still hurt?The ringing won’t stop and Calcifer seemed like he was debating whether to answer it or not. He kept on glancing at me as if I was the reason why he did not want to answer the call. Fine. “Liam? Could you ask Aunt Ynes to get Mommy a snack?”“Are you hungry, Mommy?”“Yes, I am.”“How about you, Daddy?”“I am full, buddy.”“Okay. I will be back, Mommy.” And the child left the room.Sensing it would take a couple of minutes before he would be back, I said, “You can a
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 24: Video Call
WINTER:“You’re not making this any easier for me, Dad,” I said. Whose daughter doesn't want her dad to be happy? I want Dad to be happy, but he wanted something which I could not give—marrying my ex-husband. “I’m only telling the truth. Winter…I witnessed how your ex-husband deeply regretted that he divorced you. I was the one who was with him all the time. He looked for you even when I did not tell you where you were when he hit his head in reality.”My chest tightened. If forgiving was as easy as pie, then I already forgive my ex-husband…but I could not. It wasn't that easy. I gave him a sad smile. “How can you easily forgive him, Dad?” I mumbled. “You know how scared I was that time thinking I carried Mom’s sickness. He was not patient enough with me. He easily let go of me just because he no longer understands me.” At the back of my mind, I tried to understand him, but…I could not.“I saw his struggles, Winter. He was sorry.”“You did not see mine?” I asked. “Dad. He left me
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 25: Jealousy
WINTER:First, it was jealousy then followed by hatred. Why would I feel jealous? I don't care if he was with the richest billionaire heiress. “Will you at least give me some privacy, Carmela?” Calcifer exclaimed, his annoyance showing. Carmela. I was right. Was it an act or not?Whatever. The two had nothing to do with me. Whether they fuck around his office or wherever, that had nothing to do with me, alright?I wanted to laugh out loud. The audacity of this man. How dare he! Calling me at this hour and just to flaunt his woman?“Not when I decide to go. She’s that Winter?” Carmela asked. She stared at the screen for a long time as if she was taking a good view of me. “She’s not that bad. She's beautiful even if she's not wearing any makeup.”The camera suddenly went dark then it moved and showed Calcifer and Carmela. The former was glaring at the woman.“Would you please go, Carmela?”“Hey. What's the rush? I only wanted to know her more.”I raised my eyebrows.I did not unders
My Ex-Husband's Temptation 26: Begged
WINTER:My ex-husband did not answer for a moment, and I doubted if he would be able to answer me. He rarely answered if he knew he was on the losing side. But even if he gave me an answer, what was my assurance that he was telling the truth? I could no longer believe Calcifer. No matter how many times he tried to redeem himself. First, he lied about the caller. And now, there was Carmela. “Your silence is already an answer. What am I expecting? You never have feelings for me in the beginning. You were forced to marry me all because you wanted to help your company. And now...the woman whom you wanted and loved is already on your side. She was already your wife. You have nothing to ask for."“I never cheated on you, pumpkin while we were married.”“Liar," I spat. "You're an asshole, Calcifer. How could you?"He groaned while looking at his office. His secretary was no longer there. Maybe he ordered her to step out for a moment so that no one would be able to listen to our conversatio
