Are you holding a fault against me?” He lifted my chin and looked into my eyes.
“No. I want to know the truth.”
“The first time happened when I was drunk, and the second time happened after she forced herself on me while I was also drunk. And believe me, nothing happened after that.”
I scoffed, half-amused, for being jealous of Kim while he assumed Zed and I did it many times as a married couple.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Really?” Kim laughed, then pulled me over for a kiss.
“By the way, when did you stop investigating my case?” I pulled myself upright so that I could look straight into his eyes.
“When I learned that the last video footage showed Zed taking you out of the room.”
I froze. That’s exactly how I saw it on Maezy’s video.
“What could that mean?” My voice turned hoarse suddenly.
“The fact that Ze

“Please, excuse me.” I looked at Kim, then at the man who sat in front of us. “I have something to take care of.”Kim gazed back at me, and he looked like he was worried at my reaction.“I’ll walk you to your office,” he said, standing up ahead of me.“No need. You’re in a meeting.”“Your need comes first before others," he said, giving me a zipped smile.“How sweet! I'm surprised that the love six years ago has never waned," said the man in front of us, chuckling afterward, and Kim glared at him.“You knew about this ever since, did you? Or else, I wouldn’t have invested much In finding the culprit of her misery,” Kim said, bending over so that only him could hear what he said.“Of course. I’m sorry that you haven’t found any evidence yet.”“Not yet for now,” Kim already hissed.The man scoffed a

"Her urinalysis shows she has a urinary tract infection," the doctor explained after she flippedthe pages of the chart. “And that explains her chills and fever.”“Is stress the cause of the infection?” I asked, having nothing else in mind to blame for her illness.The doctor looked at me and smiled, and her eyes fell on my abdomen afterward. I wondered if an obstetrician can tell if a woman is pregnant or not by just looking at you, but that gaze she threw at my lower abdomen suggested that she thought I was one. However, she didn’t say anything about it but answered my question instead.“Pregnant women are at increased risk for UTIs because of the changes in the urinary tract. Since the uterus sits directly on top of the bladder, its increased weight over time can block the drainage of urine from the bladder, trapping bacteria inside it. And that causes the infection.”I nodded and smiled, subconsciously ru

“I know my husband more than anyone else. So don’t fret me with your lies.” I raised my brows and smirked, ignoring Maezy afterward.“I hope you won’t come begging at me in the future for some evidence,” she replied, giving me a leering look. She then slammed the door shut, and I felt my eardrums bursting afterward.Worse than the stressful incidents I had been through, this revelation about Zed bothered me more. I could never accept that the kindness and thoughtfulness of Zed had some darkness behind it. It hurt me even deeper to know that his major flaw was not only his sexual incapabilities for having Erectile Dysfunction Syndrome, but also for being the mastermind of my emotional turmoil.I hurried to leave Ara's house and went directly to the hospital to bring some things she might need. But because she was asleep when I arrived, I did not disturb her anymore. I just touched her forehead, and seeing that she’s

“Not here, please,” I told him, but he didn’t listen. And because of thick soap lather all over my body, his moves sent erotic waves to my skin, making me yield to his intention.I closed my hands, feeling his fingers moving downward until they traced over my folds. Then, while one of his hands moved up again to tease my left peak, his other hand also worked on treasure below.Soon, I was already gasping and biting my lips, trying to hold back myself from moaning. I just felt that even a short yelp that escaped from my mouth would be loud enough to reach Zed’s ears. But after a few seconds of leaving Kim exploring and burrowing into my depthswith his tongue, I couldn’t help myself anymore. I moaned as loudly as I could until I felt him squeezing my nectar out of me.“I’m already free, Jakara,” Kim told me after we ended in bed the fight we had under the shower.I didn’t reply because the se

I felt my heart holding back some beats as I stared at our undies. My legs went limp, and drops of sweat started trickling from my temples. I then understood why Zed reacted that way. His manager saw me with Kim, and together with our undies as evidence, it was enough for him to conclude that I had sex with Kim.“Do you want another round? Don’t you get exhausted doing it many times a day? These questions were then playing like broken records in my mind.I took a long time in the bathroom, thinking of a way out. It wasn't the right time yet to tell him the truth. And as of the moment, I never planned on leaving Zed. I could never afford to hurt him whose kindness was beyond any woman’s expectation. I just hope that Maezy’s accusation, Zed’s investigation result, and my dreams that pointed to him as the culprit were all speculations.Zed remained lying in bed with his arms clasped behind his head. I knew he was still a

I was sure I couldn't face Zed once he'd be back in the room announcing what he had found out. So, I hurried to go out and made Ara my excuse for leaving ahead. Then, I left him a message and told him to get the card from the reception area.And not long after I went inside Ara's room, someone knocked at the door. I jolted from my seat, thinking it was Zed. But my eyes flew wide when I opened the door and saw Tim and Maezy."I want to see her," Tim said, avoiding my eyes.I wanted to send them away, but I got frightened at Maezy's gaze. So, I opened the door wide and let them in."Why are you here?" Ara asked, her voice contemptuous."Of course, to see you. How are you feeling now?" Tim replied, looking at him worriedly.Ara scoffed and said, "I'm not going to die yet. But don't worry, I'm not holding you back."Silence fell until Maezy broke it. "I'm sorry, Ar, but we fell in love out of the blue. And we are already planning to live

I felt my strength leaving my body as I stared into Kim’s eyes. I slowly dropped myself to the floor, but Kim was quick to pick me up. He brought me back to the office and placed me on the sofa.“What’s your plan now?” Kim asked.“You know what, how I wish I could turn back the time. I would not have chosen to work for you. I’d rather forget a part of my life than hurting someone who doesn’t deserve it.”“Then what about me, Jakara? I had been searching for you for a long time, and this is what I get?”“But Kim, I still don’t remember the feelings I had for you back then, although I feel comfortable with you around. Aside from that, we have hurt people. You hurt Maezy before by your indifference, and now for discarding her like trash.”“I even think I knew why Maezy seduced Tim. It’s because she’s insecure.”“And because she’s a

“Dear, I will go home. I will prepare the baby’s room.”“Zed, you’re just so excited! The baby will stay with Ara for as long as she is here.”“Ara said she wouldn’t look at the baby. So that the pain of having to be away from him would be bearable for her.”Glints of massive shock must have spread on my face because Zed rubbed my back. I couldn’t believe Ara could do that. But perhaps, she had already thought about that and I had to honor her decision. Some people appear tough on the outside, but they are too weak inside. If she couldn't handle more than her stress over Tim's betrayal now, who am I to judge her? Perhaps, all she needed was time.The nurse picked up the baby and held it out for me. And there was the cute bundle, sleeping soundly in his sky blue bonnet and nappies!"I can't wait to hold her, Zed!" I exclaimed, giggling."You have all the time to do that later. Go to
