I'm my husband's MISTRESS (completed)

Am I strong Enough?

I still allow Aiden to hurt me the moment I replied to his message. I still allow him to tear shred me to pieces ones I stepped in to this hotel.

Same set up, connecting doors and I told him to put on the blindfolds I put in his room earlier. But this time, I was not wearing a lingerie or anything sexy. I just put on a white shirt, jeans and regular shoes. I still wore my wig and the black mask, the things he recognize. I'm not here to have sex, I'm here to hear him out.

As always, I am early. Ayaw kong mauna siya dun dahil gusto ko, ako pa rin ang may advantage sa sitwasyon na ito. Kahit na sa sitwasyon lang na ito.

Time ticked by and tension brew and grew deep down inside me. Hindi ako mapakali. I know what he is going to say, pero part of me still wants to hear it directly from him. Too further hurt myself. Napangiti nalang ako sa naisip kong yun.

Exactly 4pm, my phone rang. Slowly I picked it up and pressed the call button. Hindi ako nagsalita, nilagay ko lang yun sa tenga ko.

"Natalie, I'm here." Sinabi ni Aiden sa kabilang linya.

Binaba ko na yung tawag then I opened the door through his room.

Pagkapasok ko sa kabilang kwarto, nakaupo na sa kama si Aiden with his tie loosen.

"Hi." Maikli kong sinabi sa kanya.

"Natalie. Akala ko hindi ka na dadating. Akala ko hindi na kita makikita ulit." Patayo na siya pero hinawakan ko siya sa balikan para itulok paupo. Kita sa mukha niya ang confusion. Siguro akala niya gagawin namin yung kagaya ng dati.

"Now what?" Sinubukan kong pakalmahin yung boses ko dahil alam ko it will only take a few more words to break me.

"Natalie, I want us to be together. Sinabi ko na sa asawa ko na hindi ko na siya mahal. Pwede na tayong magsama." Sinabi niya sa akin medyo inabot niya sa akin yung kamay niya.

I know sasabihin niya yun pero I kept my calm.

"What's next?" tanong ko ulit sa kanya.

"w-what? what do you mean what's next? Sinasabi ko nga sayo na I want to be with you. Can you please talk to me properly?!" I can hear irritation sa boses niya.

I was walking around the room. Hindi ko muna siya sinagot. When I turn around, he pulled his blindfold off.

"Natalie, please talk to me." -Aiden

I was just looking at him Straight to his eyes. No sign of recognition. Nothing at all.

"You left your wife for me?" Sinabi ko with all the stenght that I have.

"Yes, Kaya please Natalie—" Bago pa niya tapusin ang sasabihin niya I cut him off.

"Do you even know me?" I smiled a very small and sweet smile. I know I caught him off guard.
