CHRISTY:Raven looked at me with a weird expression before asking, “Christina. You already have a husband, yet you’re still jealous of some random woman? Don’t tell me you still have feelings for me.”I gasped. “Jealous? Why would I?” I stared at him as if he had grown some pair of horns. “Are you freaking kidding me, Raven? Did you forget I was the one who broke up with you?”“It was me who initiated the breakup.”My forehead knotted. “It was you?” And I did not remember. Wait. What happened to my memories? Was it messed up already? I really believed it was me who broke up with him.Raven gave me a blank look. “You were the jealous type. Before. You wouldn’t even let me text my female friends.”I bet my lower lip. “Did I do that?” He broke up because I was the jealous type? Raven pocketed his hands. “You were like that and because of you, I never had another woman scared that she would be as jealous as you.”I mentally counted the last time we broke up and my eyes bulged. “You mean

CHRISTY:If my husband ever agreed to this divorce, I did not know how I could heal my heart. It would take maybe a couple of years or maybe forever to heal the wound from our breakup. “I could not give you the answer right now, kitten. Give me some time to think.”“What's there to think when you are already weary of me? My pen is always ready to sign the divorce papers.”His lips pressed into a thin line. “Why are you always in a haste to divorce me? Does it have something to do with the mayor? You love him that much?”I leaned on the seat and smiled bitterly. “Do I look like I still love Raven?” I inquired.Long silence flowed and I thought that he would never answer me, but he said, “Your happiness was genuine when you were with him. You have feelings for him and you also told me about it. Loving two people at the same time.”Oh. I did say that. But unknown to him, I was only lying to him at that time. “I was only having a good time with him,” I explained. “We never had the cha

CHRISTY:It had been three days since Dad's wake. It was supposed to be only a day, based on Mom’s decision, but it was I who insisted that we should do the wake for three days. That would be enough for me to prepare myself to say my goodbyes and memorize Dad’s face. I wanted to look at him even for the last time until I was satisfied. Until I forgive and accept that he won’t ever go back. His dead body was brought to my parent’s home and tomorrow was the day of the funeral. All his siblings had already gathered together except my brother who did not even show his shadow or his family. No one talked about him. It felt like there was an unwritten rule that no one should be mentioning about my brother. Ben.Will he not really see Dad? I understand that he might have ill feelings towards our parents, but those were never enough so that he wouldn't see him for the last time.I closed my eyes for a moment, then opened it again as I continued watching the casket in front of me. My eyeli

CHRISTY:Your husband could be different, another part of my mind said. Give him the benefit of the doubt.Yes. I should be at least hopeful. I was pulled back into the present when I felt his lips on mine. My eyes widened when I realized what was happening. He was initiating the kiss? My heart thumped wildly and it felt like it was going to burst out of my ribcage. I moaned against our kisses as my hands found their way to his neck and pulled him closer to mine.More! I closed my eyes and savored the kiss. This once-in-a-lifetime kiss only happens rarely. Or once in a blue moon.It felt so good to be kissed by someone you love. Everette… always knows how to take the lead. If earlier I was the one who was taking who initiated the kiss, now it was him.“Touch me, bunny,” I whispered and arched my back. “My body is burning for you.”His hands wandered down into the valleys of my chest and stopped on top of it. Not wanting that it would only stay there, I showed him how I wanted to

CHRISTY:“Raven is kind, bunny. He is career-driven,” I stated which was true. “He never had taken a woman after our break up.” “You’re defending him,” he pointed out. “I don't like it a bit.”“I’m only telling the truth.”“Let’s stop talking about him. He only makes my heart boil in anger.” He scanned his phone and went to his phonebook, intentionally letting me see what he was doing. “I am deleting your cousin’s number for your peace of mind.” He showed me his phone. “It’s already deleted.” “Why are you doing this, bunny? I told you it is no longer needed.”“I just want it.”—-----------------------Dad’s funeral was attended by prominent people in the society including his business partners. Including his wake. For the second time, I sent Ben a picture of Dad’s coffin, but he said he wouldn’t be able to make it and if he could, he would choose not to attend the funeral since there was Mom who would only create a scene when she saw my brother.“You okay?” my husband asked on my
