Viola's life is a joke. She has never enjoyed happiness but instead, suffered a lot.
Born in a wealthy family, even if it is rich there are family members with poor thinking. Just like now—
“I want you to go back to your husband's house, Viola! Or else— there's gonna be no cooperation between me and Yale!” Viola's Dad roared.
Nakayuko lang si Viola habang nakatitig sa sahig ng sala ng bahay nila. Nobody knows what's on her mind. The way they stared and looked at her with scrutiny in their eyes— Viola didn't care about any of their looks.
All she had in mind is that all her father said is familiar to her. It already happened before.
“You're a disgrace to this family!” Her mother roared.
“Yeah! Tsk. She cannot even bear Yale's heir, Mama. Bakit naman kasi siya pa ang binigay niyo kay Yale? Pwede namang ako!?” Her eldest sister, Karen— snorted.
She always thought she was just an outsider in the family. Her parents didn't even consider her feelings. The family only cares about her husband's wealth. She should be doted by her parents but they doted her other siblings more.
“You're sick, anak. We can't bear to give you that monster. His family is not easy to mess with. Gusto lang naming maging normal ang buhay mo at sa lalaking magiging asawa mo whom you truly love so much.” Her mother hurriedly explained it to her eldest sister.
“If only I'm not sick— si Yale sana ang asawa ko ngayon! Not this slut!” Her eldest sister, Karen— sneered.
“Shut up, Karen. It's not your turn to speak some nonsense to your sister,” sabat ng ina ni Viola. “She's not worthy of your saliva.”
Hindi umimik si Viola as her thoughts fled away.
She should be dead! Naalala niyang hindi siya nakaligtas sa baha na ‘yon!
She held her stomach and she couldn't help but get worried.
“What are you daydreaming of— Viola!? Get back to your husband's house and stay there!” Viola gets back to her senses when her Dad roared again.
Without speaking, she nodded and quickly turned around to leave without looking back at them.
“That girl is really stupid, Mama.” Her youngest sibling— Kara, uttered.
“I don't know what I'll do to that biatch when Yale's gonna back off of my cooperation with him! I'm gonna lose billions of dollars on it!”
“Let's just wait and see how her mother-in-law will deal with that slut! She deserves it!” Karen snarled.
“Sister Karen, your mouth is really vicious. Just like those women outside with poor class, tsk.” Kara refuted. Even though she's also one of what she mentioned.
“So what!? That Yale should be mine in the first place! Kung wala lang sana ‘yon, my marriage with Yale should be the happiest! May reception sana kaming magaganap if only that biatch didn't refuse their reception— makikita ko pa sana si Yale this past few months!” Karen roared.
“Don't be angry, anak.” sambit ng ama nila.
“Listen to your father, anak. Don't mind Kara and that brat. Hindi ka magaling so you shouldn't be excited,” sabat ng ina nila.
“Mom!” Kara refuted.
“Whatever.” Karen snorted.
On the other side— habang nakalayo na si Viola sa bahay nila ay hindi niya maiwasang aalalahanin lahat ng nangyari sa kanya. She knows it's impossible but it's already happened right before her. She's reborn! She's given a second chance! To escape!
Having courage— she quickly walked, remembering the way to her husband's mansion. Nandoon lang naman sa ibabaw ng bundok ang mansion ng asawa niya. The only villa of Keist village.
Kahit malayo ang lalakarin niya ay hindi niya maiwasang ngumiti. Thinking, she'll be prepared to escape this time. She'll definitely leave and won't look back after this day.
Viola panted heavily when she arrived at the Gu Household. She looked at the house and some memories entered her mind. The first day she entered this house, the time her husband's family humiliated her. A lot happened to this house that didn't give her a good memory. She wants to forget everything about it.
When she calmed down, she entered the big mansion at nadatnan niya ang mother-in-law niya kasama si Grace na nag-uusap at tumatawa. Huminto lang sila nung nakita si Viola.
“You're really scheming. Umuwi ka pa talaga sa bahay niyo! Oh well— I don't care naman. It's not like my son will go over there and get you back.” Her mother-in-law snorted.
“I wonder if buntis ba siya?” Viola's step slowed down because of Grace's voice.
“Don't you dare say that, Grace. My son didn't even make out with her. I guess my son already had a kid outside,” She heard her mother-in-law muttered but Viola didn't mind. She doesn't care about that guy! That heartless man!
Yumuko lang si Viola at nagpatuloy na naglakad sa room niya. The former utility room. She could hear the laughter of those people behind her but she didn't care.
Pagpasok sa kuwarto niya ay mabilis niya itong sinarado at sumandal as she roams her eyes in her room.
White wall, with a small window, small bed, there's also a small cabinet where she put all of her things. Iilan lang ang gamit ni Viola. Her parents didn't give her any money. Even her husband too.
Her eyes stopped on her calendar wall and stared at it. She thought it was the day she knew she was pregnant. Itong araw na ‘to ay galing siya sa hospital for check up kasi may nararamdaman siyang kakaiba sa katawan niya. The day it all started.
Viola muttered. “...I still have two months then.”
She decided to prepare her id cards, and her small clothes and put it in her small bag. Good thing, maliit lang ang gamit niya kaya hindi nila mapansin na aalis na siya sa bahay ng asawa niya.
The evening came— nobody called her to eat. Ganyan naman talaga sila— pwera nalang kung nandito si Yale, ang asawa niya. They'll give face to Viola when that man is staying at home.
She waited for all the people in the house to sleep before she left this hellhole house. Hindi niya gustong babalik noong namatay ang baby niya sa tiyan. She knows that the baby died by then. It's her flesh and blood and they are connected by heart even though her baby is just three months old. In the middle of the night— nobody noticed that Viola successfully escaped on the Gu Household.
When morning came— the people in the Gu Household were busy cleaning and arranging things as they were informed that the master of the house was going home. They pour their heart and soul in cleaning the house, forgetting Viola, the wife of their master.

The journey of Viola— begins!
