My Husband's Rival

MHR : 23

CHAPTER 23

EIRLYS

                    I MAYBE from a well-known family, but it's just too hard to believe that I can count Xelios in for my revenge. To be my lover.

He is high and mighty. He's very successful, too. Owns a damn luxurious hotel and a chef, too. I think it would be so impossible na papayag siya sa aking gusto.

Isa pa, he doesn't really know me. Why the hell is he going to help me? Plus what are the benefits? Hmm? Anong makukuha niya sakin kung sakali man?

Just sex. I'm willing to give him that. Other than that, I can't offer more. I'm sure he's not interested with my money, but maybe with my body?

I can perfectly walk again, not because of therapy, but because I helped myself. Pinapalakas din ako ng mga thoughts ko na makakaganti ako agad kapag maayos na ako.

I'm attending classes again. Sayang kasi malapit na ang graduation.

About Hazel, I cut her off already. I also made sure I will never see her face again. Her father was a vice mayor of QC, but even that old man can't do anything when I kicked his daughter out from the university.

Why? Because he won the election because my clan helped him. He became the vice mayor because of my family.

Hazel and her sister, Hanna, will never be able to look for a decent job. They can leave the country, but still won't be able to work decently. Hazel would never be a fashion designer.

Hinold ko ang mga papeles niya dahilan kung bakit hindi siya makapag enroll at aral. I will hold her documents hanggang sa matapos ako kay Draven.

Nagawa ko lahat ‘yon because Matthias and I bought the university. Yes! We bought it, oh God.

The owner of the university doesn't want to sold it, but we insisted. We doubled the price. Hindi naman nagtanong sakin si Matthias kung bakit ko gustong bilhin 'yon.

I bet Hazel knows what I did to her and to her sister that's why she kept calling and messaging me hanggang sa binlock ko siya sa lahat ng way para makausap ako.

I want to talk to Xelios, but not now. Dahil ilang araw na lang ay graduation ko na. Gano'n kabilis lumipas ang araw.

Naalala ko... ipapaaalam ko sana sa pamilya ko na buntis ako sa mismong araw ng graduation ko, but I won't be able to do it now. Because I have nothing to introduce.

"That dress looks good on you."

Halos mapairap ako nang sumulpot si Draven sa likod ko habang pinagmamasdan ko ang graduation dress ko.

"Really?" Malambing akong humarap sakanya.

"Yes..." Bumaba ang tingin niya sa labi ko. Iba agad ang kaba na naramdaman ko kaya umiwas na ako ng tingin pa sakanya.

It been two months nang mawala ang anak namin. Hindi pa namin ulit nagagawa 'yon kaya naman hindi na ako nagtataka kung bakit ganyan ang paraan ng tingin niya sakin.

But I have no fucking plans to do it with him again. Kung gusto niya, ikiskis niya 'yan sa pader.

"My family will attend my graduation. Remember, I don't want them to know." Paalala ko rito.

"Thank you," He said and held my hands.

Umiwas ako ng lalo ng tingin. Mas lalong lumalaki ang galit ko sa mga simpleng sagot na binibigay niya sakin.

"I'm tired. Matutulog na 'ko,"

Hindi ko na hinintay na makasagot pa siya. Humiga agad ako sa kama at ipinikit ang mga mata. Tomorrow will be my graduation day.
