[Edited Version ● Alternate Ending] "Colin? I feel so awful lying to you so I have to tell you what happened..today," Frankie blurted out, nervously cracking her knuckles as she stared at her boyfriend from one side of the living room. Colin's bright blue eyes danced. "What is it, sweetheart?" "I...I bumped into my ex-husband in the elevator today." "And?" Frankie exhaled. "And we had sex. In the elevator." There was an interminable silence before Colin smiled. "We'll work through this, honey. Don't worry." "Work through this?" she spluttered in disbelief. "How? How can we, when all I want is for him to do it again? And again, and again, and again, and..." She trailed off, sighing.

(Delilah Series # 3) "You were my father's mistress. How else do you want me to treat you?" Halos matumba ako sa bigat na dumagan sa puso ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Tell him! Tell him the truth. Tell him why you had to do it! Sigaw ng utak ko ngunit hindi naman kayang panindigan ng bibig ko. Tulad na lang ng nakaraan ay wala akong ibang nagawa. I looked at him with pleading eyes. Hoping for him to understand. Begging him to search for the truth himself. "Tell me, Clau or shall I say tell me, Doctor Abigail Claudine Manalo," binabalot ng pait ang bawat pagbigkas niya sa buo kong pangalan. "Did you think of my father while you slept with me? Did you wish it was him beside you while you were in bed with me?" Bumalatay ang sakit at pang-aakusa sa kanyang mga mata. "Did you . . . even love me?" "Ang . . . Ang tagal na no'n, Theo," tanging nasabi ko sa mahinang boses. Napasinghap ako at napatakip sa bibig nang suntukin niya ang pader. Malutong ang sunud-sunod na pagmura niya. Nagtagis ang kanyang bagang. Tiningnan ko ang kamay niya at nahindik sa nakitang dugo na dumaloy mula rito. Sumabay dito ang pagbuhos ng mga luha ko. "T-Theo. . ." Tinitigan niya ang kanyang nagdurugong kamao. Ni isang beses ay hindi niya ako sinulyapan. It was like I wasn't even there. Just him, his anger, and his pain. He turned around and walked away. I wanted so bad to tell him the truth. Pero paano ko gagawin iyon? Paano ko sasabihin sa kanya ang katotohanan kung lalo lang itong ikawawasak ng buhay niya?
