The King's Revenge

C1

I stood up from were I am sitting. I just finished listening to their conversation and I heard all their lie. Tinanggal ko ang suot kong wig at shades saka humarap sa kanila. Shock were written on their faces. I didn't expect this. My husband and bestfriend slash step-sister cheated on me.

"Cassy.." He said.

I smirked at him. I swallowed the lumped in my throat. It's not right to cry in front of them, Cassy.

Gusto kong ibato sa kanilang dalawa ang vase na nasa mesa. Gusto ko silang patayin. Gusto kong maramdaman ang sakit na nararamdaman ko ngayon. Ang sakit na papatay sa akin.

"Cheaters." The only word that came out from my mouth. It was full of hatred.

"Baby, let me explain." He tried to reach me but I kept my distance.

"I've already heard enough of your lies, Delgado." Sinadya kong tawagin sya sa last name nya to emphasize my hatred. "Congratulations to your child." I sarcastically said. I let out a lazy laugh but deep inside I wanted to scream.

I saw my bestfriend or should I say step sister stood up. Lumapit ito sa akin.

"Thanks for cooperating my dear bestfriend. Now, I have all your money." She smirked at me and hooked her arms to my husband's arm.

Napakunot ang noo ko sa sinabi nya.

"W-What do you mean?"

"You haven't heard it all pala. Since alam mo na din naman na may anak kami ng asawa mo, sasabihin ko na din sayo na lahat ng yaman mo ay nakapangalan na sa amin ni Stanley. Ninanakawan ka na ng asawa mo hindi mo pa alam." She laughed like an evil. "But thanks, my son would be very glad to know that his Tita Cassy gave him a lot of money."

I burst out in tears. Not my self earned money. Please not my savings.

"Poor Cassy. You have nothing now. Anyway, binabawi ko lang naman kung anong akin."

I glared at her. Then at him. Nakita ko ang awa sa mga mata nya. Hindi awa ang kailangan ko from him.

"Get lost, Cassy." Parang bumagsak ang mundo ko sa sinabi nya. I thought he loved me but it was all a dream.

"Stan, I'm pregnant." His child is my only hope.

Nagulat sya sa sinabi ko. Nagkaroon ako ng pag-asa na hindi nya kami pababayaan pero..

"Nakakatawa ka Cassandra. Akala mo ba maloloko mo kami sa drama mo? Nothing happened between the two of you kaya imposibleng mabuntis ka! Right, honey?" Nakita ko ang pagtango nya sa tanong ni Laira. Halos madurog ang puso ko sa ginawa nyang pagtanggi sa nangyari sa amin.

"S-Stop it, Cassy." Mahina nyang saad. Hindi ko mabasa ang reaksyon nya.

"Si Drake lang ang anak ni Stanley!" Para akong sinampal sa sinabi ni Laira. I'm carrying his child too!

Paano nya nagawa satin ito? Paano ito nagawa ng asawa na minahal ko at pinagbuhusan ng lahat ng oras ko?

Get a grip of yourself, Cassandra! Hindi ka dapat nagmumukhang kawawa. Ito ang panahon para maging matapang ka. Para sayo at sa anak mo.

My inner thoughts convinced me to stay strong. I wiped my tears and face the two demons in front of me.

"You only have my money.. but not my connections." Napangisi ako ng makita ang gulat nilang reaksyon. "It's me you messed up with and I'll make sure it's ME who'll bring you down where you two belong. And I'll make sure even you're son will suffer."

I turned my back and left them. Narinig ko pang sinigawan ni Laira si Stanley.

Wala na akong pakialam sa kanila all I care now is my baby.

I grabbed my phone and dialed someone's number.

"Tito Philip.." I tried my best not to cry. "I'll accept your offer but on one condition."

This will be the last time that I'll be crying because of you, Stanley. You, Laira and your son will pay for this.
