The One That Got Away

Chapter 17: Secret Lies

I drove home as fast as I could. I stepped on the gas pedal and concentrated on the road blowing my horn aggresively on cars that blocked my way. Fortunately 12:00 midnight traffic is not that heavy.

Its been a long day and all I wanted right now is to be with my wife and my child --where i do belong. I wanted to sleep and wake up the next day that everything that I witnessed today will all be just part of a nightmare. I wish everything that happened today is just a nightmare.

I hopped out of the car and entered the house. I was welcomed by our family portrait. Kat, trixie and I. Just the three of us. As i walked through, I remenisced the moments on each framed pictures that hung on the wall. Each picture has its own stories to tell. Trixie's first smile, first ballet performance, first day at school, and a lot more.

"My perfect family" I thought.

I sighed heavily and proceeded upstairs. I went to trixie's room. I sat on the edge of her princess pink themed bed and fixed her blanket. I watched her as she peacefully fell asleep while hugging one of her pillows. Shes too young to understand things the way they were. No matter how hard I tried protecting this family, destiny has its own way of ruining it. And I hate it.

I kissed her cheeks and whispered I love you to her ear before I left the room.

It must have been the strangest feeling when I entered our room. I saw my wife focused on her laptop that she didnt even felt that Iam home now. I came closer to her and kissed her cheeks.

The air is thickening the moment I remembered again about yzian. I know its her right to know the truth, but how? How would she react with our situation? How would she actually accept the fact that I have another child from the woman she never liked crossing paths with?

I dont really know.

"Bat ang tagal mo hon?" She asked facing me.

"Its just that, things are really fcked up now." I closed my eyes and let out a deep harsh sigh.

"What? What do you mean?" She stood and cupped my face.

Its been a long day and all I wanted is to end this conversation so I pulled her closer to me and kissed her harshly on the lips letting all my frustrations and anger let go. At first she didnt return my kisses but she give in and responded to it anyway. I slowly pulled down the lacy strap on her dress and kissed her shoulders and then up to her neck aggresively leaving marks.

"Ian.." she mumbled to stop me from assaulting her neck. But I didnt mind her.

I ripped off the last clothing that she have and positioned myself between her thighs.

I groaned when i finished inside of her and laid down beside her.

She pulled the blanket and covered herself.

"Ngayong tapos ka na, pwede mo na bang sabihin kung anong problema?" Kunot noo niyang tanong.

"Nothing" simpleng sagot ko.

"Whats bothering you? I am your wife, i have to know everything." Pagpupumilit niyang tanong.

I sighed. "Anak ko si yzian"

I looked into her eyes but she looked away. Staring blanky on the ceiling.

When I didnt get any reaction from her, I hugged her tightly.

She knows yzian is shin's child since it is now circulated over the social medias.

"Please say something."
