Babawiin Ko Ang Lahat

Chapter 11

Adonis' point of view

"One more shot please" utos ko sa barista at agad naman nitong nirefillan ang aking shot glass.

Nandito ako ngayon sa isang bar at nainom. Today was a very stressful day and I wanted to just relax and have a drink.

Isang araw lang ang lumipas but I feel like countless things have already passed. Simula sa paglabas ng video ni Sophia, sa pagsisinungaling ni Magdalena, sa kaso na isasampa ni King Villarin sa kumpanya namin, at sa pagsuspend ko kay Magdalena.

All those happened today, sa unang araw ni Sophia sa kumpanya namin.

Fuck.

Damn it.

But what stresses me out the most is the guilt I am feeling right now after suspending my wife at work.

Alam kong mahal niya ang trabaho niya at malaki ang contribution na ginawa niya sa aming kumpanya. She has just been promoted as the company's COO.

But as the CEO of the company, I need to be fair. Kung ang ibang empleyado ng kumpanya ay nabibigyan ng sunction kapag nagkakamali, my wife should also be subject to the same standard. Ano na lang ang iisipin ng mga shareholders namin kapag nalaman nilang hindi ko pinatawan ng parusa ang asawa ko sa pagkakamaling ginawa niya.

At hindi lang ito basta pagkakamali dahil malaki ang impact ng kanyang ginawa sa negosyo ng aming kumpanya.

Aside from that, hindi rin maalis sa isip ko ang kanyang pagsisinungaling. I actually gave her a chance to tell me the truth but she chose not to.

As her husband, naiintindihan ko where she came from and I felt the same way as her before, but as much as I would like to understand her, I can't help but feel disappointed.

And to think about it, she didn't do it once, nagsinungaling din siya kayna Mom and Dad noong sinabi niya na siya ang nagpropose to venture into food business, but the truth is, ideya iyon ni Sophia.

And the fact that she asked someone to send a sex video to all of our shareholders, na pwede namang isend na lang privately kay King, was so... unimaginable.

I love my wife, and I don't want to think bad about her, pero there is a small percentage in my mind na kung nagawa niyang magsinungaling sa akin, at kanya Mom and Dad, she might probably do it again.

O maaring nagsinungaling na rin siya noon.

Agad kong inalis sa isip ko ang mga bagay na iyon upang hindi ko pagisipan ng masama ang aking asawa. I love her so much kaya naman I will understand and forgive her.

Now, I just need to deal with all this mess.

I feel like there is too much weight on my shoulders right now.

"One shot of Black please" naramdaman kong may tumabi sa akin.

Si Simon.

"Nagawa mo na ba ang inuutos ko sayo? Have you already figured out kung sino ang inutusan ni Magdalena to leak Sophia's video? And have you also figured out kung paano napunta kanya Sophia ang recording na iyon ng asawa ko?"

Ngumisi ito at inabot sa akin ang isang envelope.

"Here, Bro. Diyan mo makikita ang ginawa ng asawa mo" anito. Binuksan ko ang envelope at kinuha ang papel sa loob.

Binasa ko ang nakasulat dito.

"There you can see the transcript of the conversation between your wife and a private hacker. Yes, your wife hired a private hacker para tulungan siyang isagawa ang kanyang plano sa pagleak ng video ni Sophia. You can also see there how much your wife paid the hacker for the job" anito.
