32Articles“What are you doing here?” Mom massage her temple when I open the door for her. “Emily, I almost went crazy trying to figure out where you are.” She said and sit on the living room.I sigh and went to the kitchen to give her water. “I’m sorry, I just want to be alone.” I said and gave her the water.“What if something happen to you? The medias are going crazy and we don’t even know how to calm down.” She said after drinking the water and putting it in the table.I sit by her side and hug her to the side. “I’m fine mom. I just want to escape for a moment.” I whispered while she kissed my hair.“Why don’t you go abroad? I think it’s better that they won’t see you and they might forget about it and move on.” She said and I immediately shake my head.“Mom, I already told you that I don’t want to go abroad. Plus, if the news didn’t broke I would’ve move on from Arthur and continue my life like he didn’t happen but, he just won’t let me escape.” I said.“Then what are you plann

33ChaoticLast night, I did some thinking and I think Flora is ready to fight me. No, the fight is already starting and I can’t go down like this especially that this is what she wants for me to stay silent for people to think of her a victim.Yes, in some point she’s a victim but why is she only attacking me? She did things to that hurt their marriage, why didn’t she mention that? To make me the bad guy and to make it seem that I’m the one who broke their marriage but the truth is it was already broken and I know that. She just doesn’t know that I saw them at the parking lot that time when I wasn’t in an agreement with Arthur.People are already assuming I’m the worst because what’s worse than being a mistress, right? But they haven’t seen me in my best. So I decided to show up at work today like nothing happen. I smirk as I think of the married couple’s reaction.After using me, Arthur wants me gone and that’s the case for his wife too. She even tainted his name just to get rid of

34Her“What?” was all I can say. “Alex, you’re scaring me.” I said as he near my face.“Why did you make me think that you like me Emily? I was starting to think that I like you despite the fact that we’re different. You made me feel things and experience being with you but what is this? You’re a mistress?” He said like he’s really hurt.I can only stare at him because I don’t know what to say to him and also because I don’t think I need to explain myself how I got myself into the position where I’m the other woman. I think he deserve to know why I made him think I like him. Actually, I really like him. I was starting to think that I have the possibility to like someone that’s not Arthur, that’s why I was trying to act like I do like him to know how we would react but seeing him like this makes me want to rethink about all of those.“Why?!” He hold both of my shoulder that made me shiver. I’m scared, he’s not the Alexis that I know. I thought he wouldn’t question me about this issue

35FaceI look at dad who’s calling Flora’s dad for the appointment we set for today. I kind of feel nervous seeing her after all of the articles and all of the fights.I under estimated her capabilities. It is really true that you can do anything when it comes to love and she’s desperate because she’s not just losing the love of her life but she’s also in the verge of losing their business due to bankruptcy.I don’t know the reason for their business to fail. I don’t know if it’s really because of us but either way she chose the wrong fight to pick just to save their business.I gulp as I heard dad mention Flora’s name. It’s nothing serious as I saw him laughing on the phone but I’m nervous because I’m really going to see her and confront her.“Are you sure about this?” Mom asked that made me look at her and I nodded. “I don’t feel at ease.”“Mom, I’m a big girl now. Don’t worry about me. Just think of this as like sending me to work. Just trust me on this one.”Dad is approaching us

36News“What are we going to tell her?”“She’s stress. We should tell her calmly or should we tell her?”My brows creased as I heard some muffled voices. I look at the ceiling feeling nauseous, I wander my eyes to the surrounding and realize that I’m in a hospital and my parents are in the corner talking silently. I try to move but I can’t.“Mom.” I said in almost like a whisper that made my parents look at me with wide eyes.“Oh! My! Emily, you’re finally awake.” Mom said and holding my hands tight. “Go, call a doctor.” Mom said that made dad rushed outside probably calling the doctor.“How are you feeling?” She said and hold my hand.I gesture to give me a basin and she immediately grabbed one in the corner and I vomit like I got drunk last night.“What happen?” I hold my neck as I felt a slight sting because I vomit.Mom bit her lips and look at the door when it made a noise. Dad cane in with the doctor and when I look at mom searching for answers but she only smile as the doctor

37HealIt’s been a month since we arrive at the US and day by day I feel so lonely. When I first arrive here I always cry which made my parents worried. I can’t explain the emotion but I long for him and I keep remembering his face when we lock our eyes at the airport.“If you’re going to continue this you might put the baby in danger.” Mom would always say.I don’t know if I should be grateful because they didn’t comment about me being pregnant and choosing to keep the baby. I think they are also relieved that I’m not planning to tell Arthur.My parents aren’t always here. They just came with me when I moved here but after a week they left to came back for work and to also clarify the incident I’ve been part of.The media has calmed down and I’m hoping they will forget about it forever. I don’t want to remember that memory again and even though I’m angry at Flora for what she did I chose to forget about it and let her be because I don’t want her to find out that I’m pregnant not bec

38Arthur“Arthur. Let me go.” I said but he pulled me by my waist and hug me in the back but my eyes are fixed in my stomach that his fingers are touching.I notice him stiffed to and his breathing become heavy and I can feel it in my neck. The next thing I know he made me face him, I try to resist but he was strong and desperate.“You’re pregnant.” He said while looking at my belly.“No.” I try to deny but he looks at me angrily.“There’s no use of denying it Emily. I can already see it. You’re not bloated or fat. You’re pregnant and I know it’s mine base on it’s size.”“Arthur.” I pushed his hands away and he look at me confusedly. “I already left you. You’re now free to be with your wife. I can raised this baby alone. I’m capable of doing that.”“Emily.” He holds my shoulder. “Don’t you get it? I’m here because I want to be with you. I… love you.” He said that made me stiff.My mouth open a little. He never said that to me not even once when we were together and hearing him say it

39ConfrontationWas it all a dream? That’s what I keep asking myself the moment that I woke up. Arthur isn’t beside me and I’m all alone in my room. I scan the room but there were no sign of Arthur that made my heart beat fast.I hurriedly went out of the bed and went down to the stairs with a panicking pace but all of it immediately vanish when I saw Arthur in the kitchen topless and cooking.He’s facing the other side and he still haven’t notice that I’m here. I was about to approach here when I heard him talking to someone.To someone that I don’t like. “Flora. Just shut up. You owe me this after what you have done.” He said that made my eyes wide.What is he asking to Flora? I wanted to hear more but he put the phone down and face me that made me jump. He was also surprise to see me but he smiled and greeted me good morning.“Good morning. I thought you were gone.” I bit my lips and walk near him.“Why would I leave you? That won’t happen again.” He said and kiss my forehead. I s
