His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 18: Her Side of the Story
-=Miranda's Point of View=-The tears I'd been keeping back eventually came out. I thought I could handle the pain, but I was mistaken. I knew it when I saw the man who had given me so much agony—the person I'd grown to love despite all my attempts to prevent it.Honestly, I didn't expect him to look for me, so I was caught off guard when I saw him in Sister Lita's office. I thought that now that he already had my signature fixed on the divorce papers, he would stop bothering me, but obviously, I was mistaken.The pain returned as I remembered what he did to me the night I submitted myself to him.My thoughts were in turmoil at those times because I was torn about what I should do. I promised Anthony that I would stay his wife until he felt ready to tell his family the truth, but now I am not sure whether I could honor that promise.We got married not out of love but because he asked for my help and I wanted to help him.Honestly, I never wanted or imagined doing this kind of thing. I
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 19: Meeting Him Again
-=Miranda's Point of View=-I was sitting at the back of the orphanage, silently watching the kids play, not far from where I was sitting.During this time, I envied those kids who didn't know the harsh reality yet, but then again, each of them experienced bad experiences before they were brought here, so I shouldn't belittle the bad experiences they had."Once again, you're lost in thought, Mira," I heard someone say behind me. Even without looking, I recognized the voice; I was very familiar with who that voice belonged to.Mira is the name that everyone in the orphanage calls me, and hearing that name again brought a sense of comfort to me.When I didn't say anything, I felt her sitting beside me while my gaze still lingered with the kids."Can't you forgive him? It's evident he regrets what he did," she said, as I remained silent.I finally looked at the elderly woman. I arrived at the orphanage when I was seven years old, after my parents were killed in a fire in our town. I beca
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 20: Lost Without Your Love
-=Ang's Point of View=-It has been weeks since I tried talking to her to apologize and to have her back when I visited the orphanage where she grew up, it didn't turn out how I wanted it to be, but that is to be expected considering the severity of what I did to her.I planned on giving her time, but it didn't mean that I would stop trying to reach out to her, every day that passes without her is a huge punishment that I deserved, but it doesn't mean that I wasn't hurting from those days, especially every moment when I thought about the woman I truly love, the one I hurt because of my stupid accusation and more stupid action.All those days that passed, there was never a time when I thought of just going to her, but I held myself, thinking that it was the least thing I could do for her, for her to have time for herself."Stay away from me."I suddenly remembered the last time I saw her and the last request she made which I couldn't grant, even though it was her who made that request.
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 21: Strange Feeling
-=Miranda's Point of View=-"Welcome back, Miranda," I thought dryly to myself while looking at the cold and empty unit in front of me.I already felt so empty after leaving the family I knew back in the orphanage to return here, to this lonely, cold life I have in Manila.As much as it pains me, I knew that I needed to return to my life here in the city, and now I'm back, but still, I have no idea where to begin with.I took a few minutes to scan the interior of my condo unit: nothing had changed since I left. It was still clean, thanks to the person I hired to make sure that this place would still remain clean and tidy after I moved to Anthony's house to be with him when he got into that accident.Honestly, nothing much changed since then, well except one and that is the fact that my emotions are in such a mess right now, I followed my feelings and looked where they got me.I let my emotions overcome me, and it told me to be with the man I love, because of my decision, I broke my he
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 22: Meeting My Ex-Mother-in-Law
-=Miranda's Point of View=-I woke up from the sound of my phone ringing, and when I saw it was Ram's calling, I immediately picked up the phone and answered it."Hello?""I'm sorry, Miranda, but I'll be running a little late because there's an accident that's causing the traffic to be so heavy," I heard him say and on the other line, I could hear the honking of several vehicles that may have been affected by the traffic jams. "That's fine, you don't have to rush, and please be careful," I added the last part since it was still fresh in my mind what happened to him when he tried to see Atilla.When he got into an accident a few years ago, he decided to see his now-wife Atilla reconcile with her, but because of the accident, Atilla left the country; it's been a couple of years since they met again, and finally reconciled; during those two years, I saw how miserable Ram was, and during those two years, Atilla and Ang became a couple. "Don't worry, I knew better, and besides, I couldn'
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 23: Missing Her
-=Ang's Point of View=-I told myself not to attend this event, but my desire to see Miranda was too much, that I found myself getting ready and going there.I promised myself that I would only watch her from afar, just like a creepy stalker, that for whatever reason, I would not approach her and let her know of my presence there, but when I saw and heard how an elderly woman was insulting and humiliating Miranda, I just couldn't stand and do nothing, while the woman I love is being disrespected.Without giving it much thought, my feet automatically walked on their own accord and approached them, and I immediately noticed the distress on Miranda's face while looking at her supposed-to-be mother-in-law, who didn't give a damn where she is and what this occasion is all about.If it were before, I may have agreed with this elderly woman, but after knowing the truth and accepting the fact that Miranda is not the horrible woman I pictured her to be, I just can't help but depend on and prot
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 24: Big Responsibility
-=Miranda's Point of View=-"Miranda, are you okay? I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Leonard's mother to show up," I could hear the frantic in Ram's voice, but quite honestly, I couldn't understand whatever he was saying.Aside from being rattled after being confronted with Leonard's mom, my main focus and attention was on the man who saved me from her, the man I didn't think would come a day to stand up and protect me.I silently watched as I continued to gaze at his back, and the strong urge to follow him after he left haunts me so much, that I wouldn't be surprised if my feet would move on their accords.I could feel the ache in my heart that I couldn't just ignore, an ache of seeing Ang from walking away, my heart was urging me to follow him and to tell him that I love him, but like a coward that I am, I just remained frozen to where I was standing.A deep sigh finally passed my lips, when Ang completely disappeared from my sight, and after looking in that direction for a few seconds,
His Brother's Wife CHAPTER 25: One Difficult Request
-=Ang's Point of View=-I felt so disoriented when I woke up because of my phone ringing, the ringing continued telling me that it might be something important or maybe a persistent telemarketer who wanted to hit his or her quota, and if it was the latter, that person would be in big trouble.I didn't dare to open my eyes and just tried to touch the top of my bed where I remembered putting my phone, and luckily the vibration from my phone helped to find it."Hello?" I asked in a groggy kind of way.My eyes were still closed when I answered the phone, so I didn't know who was calling.Waking up with a hangover is not a great experience, but I needed to drink in order for me to momentarily numb the pain I was feeling for not being able to be with the woman I love."Hello, Ang, we need to talk."I felt suddenly awake as I opened my eyes in disbelief, looking at my cell phone since I answered the call, and Miranda's name on the caller ID only confirmed the truth that Miranda called me.It
