I was so busy for the first month of being in Italy. Our annual car launching was very hectic though it was a success. Our latest car models were innovative and advanced in terms of design and technology that was why we sold out all our limited car editions within the first three days of launching. People had come from all over the world to see and buy our new cars.

Our company's sales went up significantly. It was broadcasted all over the news globally. I received gracious praises and awards. We had thrown many parties to celebrate the success of the launching. I had many reasons to celebrate, but why was I not happy? Back then, I would rejoice, knowing I exceeded my goals. But this time, I just couldn't make myself celebrate.

At the end of the day, when I would be left alone in my room, I would realize what was keeping me from being truly happy, and it was indeed because of my wife.

I left the Philippines while we were not in good shape. I was so upset with her when I found out what she was hiding from me. I was so upset that none of her excuses made me feel better. I was so hurt that I didn't want to see her therefore I didn't go home even before I left for Italy.

I wanted us to start a family. I wanted us to have a child. She knew that. That was why I was so hurt and offended when she was secretly taking pills behind my back. How could she hide that thing from me when she knew I had been so vocal to her about wanting to have a child?

Yes, she explained to me that she wasn't ready. But it was too late. She should've told me that beforehand. Maybe I would have understood her if she had involved me with her decisions in the beginning before she initiated any actions.

When I was in Italy, I was still upset with her. I read her messages, but I didn't respond to any of them. I also ignored her calls. To be honest, I was expecting for her to do something for me to forgive her. I was actually hoping that she would fly to Italy to see me, but she never came. People were even asking me where was my wife in the important occasions. All I could do was to give them an excuse that she was busy.

I knew my wife was a workaholic, but I thought she would do something special to ask for an apology. But I would just get disappointed each day my hired bodyguards would report to me about her whereabouts. She was always in her office or doing something work related. I got more upset, knowing that she had no plans on coming to Italy to make it up to me. That was why I was concluding so many things in my head. I was already thinking that she didn't really love me, that she just wanted the perks from this marriage, and that she was not planning on staying with me for a long term.

I didn't have enough assurance that the annulment she kept bringing up in the first few weeks of our marriage was no longer an option for her. She knew I was not the type of person, who would force someone to stay with me if that someone was no longer happy. It might be against my will to let someone go, especially if that someone was a person whom I truly loved, but I couldn't afford depriving that person of her choices and happiness. I was that type of person. But when I fell in love with Kate, letting her go scared me. I couldn't afford losing her in my life. I only brought up the annulment because I was so upset that I failed to think twice before I talked to my lawyer to ready the papers when I came back from Italy.
