Prologue My hand was shaking as I left the bathroom. I hid the Pregnancy Test in the pocket of my pants before leaving the room. As usual, I'm the only one here in our huge house. I sat on the sofa and stopped the sobs that I had been holding in for a while. I took the pt out of my pocket and two red lines were revealed to me. *thud!* I immediately turned to face the door as it opened violently. My husband entered as if a woman was there. nothing but its attachment. But in this household, I look like a fixture. "A-ahh Ki-Kione. A-you're here" I said and stood up. He just stared at me blankly and he moved his eyes to the girl with him. "Let's go baby.we're just wasting time her" he said coldly and led the woman into his room. I immediately smiled brightly and wiped my runaway tears. I went to the garage and got into my car. I immediately turned it on and I just drove by drive. i want to go away especially now that we have children. I know he doesn't care about it. He despises me a lot. And I cannot bare to see my soon to be child being miserable because his/her dad hates his/her mom a lot. I don't want to hurt it. I'm a bitch, just don't let him.
(Victoria's POV)
"Vic! Good news! Our company's sales have increased because of your new designs"
"Of course! Miss Collins is good!"
"Asus, you flattered me. Oh, Kev, I'm going home" I said goodbye to them and left Cortwar Inc.
I immediately got in the car and went to the condo where my son and I were staying.
Yes, I gave birth. 4 years ago. A healthy cute little boy named Kiane Victor Collins. Don't ask, even though Kione is worthless, I still followed my son's name to his name.
anyways, let's not talk about my past. More important, now because I'm happy and satisfied with what I have.
When I entered our condo,
*crasshhh!*
I immediately ran to the kitchen and saw Kiane there and in front of her was a broken glass and spilled milk.
"Baby! Are you okay?" I asked as I got close to it and picked it up. I examined its entire body and worriedly looked at every angle of its body.
"I'm okay mom. Please don't worry" he said and squeezed both my cheeks and kissed them.
I squeezed his hands and put them on the table and put the broken glass away.
"Where's Nanny Melinda your mom?" I asked here while wiping the spilled milk with a mop.
"She left because her baby is sick" she answered me while still swaying her feet. I just sighed and looked at my phone.
20 missed calls from nanny Melinda
32 messages from nanny Melinda
I grabbed my senses and picked up Kiane. I felt bad. Because of too much work I neglected Kiane. I hate myself.
"Baby, stay here, mom will cook" I said and put it on the sofa. He nodded and moved the t.v channel until it stopped at the Gravity Falls show on Cartoon Network.
I just went to the kitchen and started putting the ingredients in what I was going to cook.
*ring.....ring....ring.....*
I stopped cutting the eggplant when my phone suddenly rang. I put the knife on the table first and answered the call.
"Hello? Kevin? Why were you summoned?"
"Vic! Our other business partners have left!"
"Why?! Why did they leave the bathroom!" I shouted and took my bag from the room.
"I'll tell you when you get here. We need to talk to other board members" I reluctantly nodded and hung up.
I stopped getting dressed when I realized that Kiane was not with me.
"Baby, we're leaving! Get dressed!" I shouted at him. I heard small footsteps and the door to our room opened.
I immediately dressed Kiane and we went to Cortwar Inc.
"Kev! What happened?" I asked as soon as I entered the conference room. I made Kiane sit next to my chair while I talked to Kevin.
"Our other Investors are pulling their investments here in the company. If this continues, the company may collapse Vic" brother said and pulled his hair in frustration. I frowned.
what's happening?
"What are we going to do miss Collins! If our other investors don't come back, this company will go bankrupt!"
"Yes, didn't you just come out with new clothes designs? Why is it like this?"
"Aren't you neglecting this company Miss Collins?"
Ah! So it's to blame?
"Stop it! Stop it! It's not Victoria's fault" brother Kevin stopped and slammed his hand on the table.
"But Mr. Cortwar, the company is slowly falling because we lost a lot of investors!" Groin of one of the board members. I got hold of my senses. instead of helping us with this sudden problem, they even admit to blaming everyone.
Do we hold the brains of those investors???
"We should elect a new president who will run this company. It's wrong that your father chose you," is said. I hit the table as soon as I heard that.
"What's this? Election? Just change the owner and operator of this company?! brother Kevin put blood and sweat into this!" I shouted full of fury.
"But that's not enough Miss Collins!"
"And who are you going to replace him with? You? You didn't even do anything for this in the company Mr. Suarez other than to get caught up!" I couldn't hold back my annoyance. brother Kevin held my shoulder to calm me down.
"Not him Miss Collins. it's Mr-" and before Mr. Santos finished his sentence, the door immediately opened and spat out the man I should never see again.
I stopped and seemed to be frozen in place and looked at the door in disbelief.
I immediately looked at Kiane but she was no longer in her seat.
"Meet Mr. Caleb Kione Cortwar. He is the one we will replace with Mr. Kevin Cortwar" I heard Mr. Santos but my attention was on him rather than on my seat.
I don't know what to feel. whether I'm happy because Kione didn't see my son or nervous because he's missing.
"Nice to meet you all" I looked at Kione who was seriously standing at the door while being greeted by our other board members.
He looked at me and smiled. I immediately got bored and left the conference room and slammed the door shut.
"◐prologue◑" "Please, you should only love me," I cried as I told my husband that he never considered me as his wife since he had an accident. I'm the only one fighting this marriage even though I'm having a hard time with him. "Why can't you understand I don't love you! he shouted loudly while looking at me evilly. He always pressured me to sign the divorce paper so that our marriage would be void "Why? because of Margarette?yes because of her.cause I really love her that's why I'm willing to marry her once we divorce so please sign this paper so I can marry the woman I love, he told me emphatically as his jaw tensed and his eyes glistened. "No! I won't sign that fu*cking divorce paper!" I screamed while the pain in my chest was exploding because he made me look like I don't have any love left. Why doesn't he feel that way in his heart that I should be? WHY!!! "Renz, how long will I endure the pain? How long will you learn to love me again? when I'm dead? is that really what you want to happen?. "I'm your wife, so I'm the one you should love. I've done everything for you to love me again. I understand you because you have amnesia even though the pain is here", I pointed to the chest where my heart is. "I want to give up, but I just want to think about losing you here." "You really loved me when you didn't get amnesia but it's just a pain because I'm your husband but you forgot me, is that how you love?". "While the woman who betrayed you made you forget and even worse, you forgot how she cheated on you. How she kept you secret".. "Renz I'm so tired for being a martyr because of you, I cried, I looked at him, there were tears in his left eye and an emotion came through, but it disappeared immediately and it's cold to look at me. "Eunice stop this bullsh*t," she shouted while tugging her hair. "Please renz remember me how you love me how you treat me like a queen the kind you can't see me getting hurt because that's how I met renz who didn't want to see me hurt. but everything has changed when you had an accident. i love you so much please remember me my husband". I approached him but he pushed me hard so I sat down and hit my hip on the table. I giggled in pain. He stood up and left me alone here on the floor in tears. while begging him... "It's always like this, can I handle it?
Teaser: "Why? Why did you do this to me?" I asked hesitantly. As I slowly sat down on the floor, my chest was heaving. my vision is getting blurry because of the river of tears flowing from my eyes. I looked at two people important to me, who were in the same bed and naked. I can't believe they did this to me. "Elle, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." cried the woman I cherished. The girl I idolize because of her kindness. The only girl who accepted me as a family. The girl I love the most. I moved my eyes to him. I looked at him pleadingly. "Unintentional? how did you not mean it? How did you two end up there if you don't know what you're doing?" My voice was weak as I said those words. "When is this? Didn't I ask you if you know my husband's relationship? Didn't you tell me you would help me find out who his girl is? And then now? I just knew that you are his mistress? That you are one of my husband's whores. You're a slut. A lowly and cheap slut." I was silent as I told him. "How can you do this to me? you're the true definition of bitch---" I was cut off when Nathan, my husband, suddenly shouted. "ENOUGH ELLESA. WE BOTH KNOW FROM THE START THAT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WANT THIS FUCKING MARRIAGE. DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT TO KELLEY, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE REAL DISPERADA HERE." Nathan yelled angrily. His mestizo face was red. I was stunned by what he said. I was about to say a word but he spoke first. "And to tell you honestly, I love her. Only her. then until now." His word broke my heart into zillion pieces. His words caused pain and agony. I fumble for words. As my tears continue to flow. I dared to look straight into his eyes that were red with anger. "I gave you everything, Nate, even my body. There's nothing left. Is it still missing? Yes, I know I was desperate when it came to you. Know why? Because I love you. I love you Nate, ever since then. But have you ever did you see it? Did you ever reciprocate it?--- " I was sobbing hard. i even stopped because of the lump in my throat. My chest is also tight. "Nate, did you ever love me when we were married?" I asked bravely. As my tears began to flow. "No." He answered firmly. Now I get the point. No one loves me. no one was there when I needed help. Even my beloved big sister, don't really love me. My husband and my big sister cheated on me. I quickly left Ate's condo. Many questions are bothering my mind, I don't know where to go, what to do now. I only feel one thing. pain
***Prologue*** "how many times do I have to tell you that mind your own business! and don't touch things inside my house!" He screamed angrily at the same time he carelessly fell on the table I had just bought I immediately grabbed my chest when I felt its rapid beating because of the nervousness I feel now "I just want to fix it--" "Shut up! fix what! what you say is that you just want to delete all the memories that my wife has of this household!" he shouted angrily at me I immediately hid my shaking hands behind my back and took a deep breath before looking directly at him "no..why would I do that --" "because you want to replace her!" he shouted again, making me stop replace her?...how can I replace her? I closed my eyes and took another deep breath before staring into his eyes again "Hannah is dead" three words that made him angrier, he immediately slapped me hard and carelessly pushed me against the wall while holding my neck tightly "what!?" I can see the anger in his eyes "H-Hannah i-is dead ack s-so m-m-move on" and because of what I said I received a severe slap from him and I also felt his stranglehold on me tighter "so the truth also came out! that you really want to replace her!" I saw the deep disappointment in his eyes "That doesn't change, you're still the slut who begged in front of my house four years ago" he said before letting me go. "I'm your wife now" I don't know where I got the courage to say that in front of him "but my heart belongs to her only, I don't even like nor love you" but my heart belongs to her only, I don't even like nor love you my heart belongs to her only I don't even like nor love you like nor love you love you love you I immediately looked up to stop my tears, but they started falling on their own and I couldn't stop the little cry the pain is pain, it's like my heart is being crushed with fine fines He turned his back on me when he heard my cry and the last thing I heard was his loud closing of the door I immediately looked at the big frame with our wedding picture I was smiling there while he was a ruler away from me as if he didn't want to touch me, I just bowed down and cried softly I was surprised to hear something fall so I immediately stood up because I was afraid that Hiro might be the one to get angry. leaving the room, the broken vase near the stairs immediately appeared to me, that vase..that's the vase that I really didn't change because it was made by Hannah herself "what happened!?" I looked at Erren who had just arrived my eyes immediately landed on my son who was crying on the side of the broken vase I saw that Erren's eyes landed on Hiro and when he saw the broken vase that Hannah made himself, he angrily grabbed Hiro's other shoulder. "do you know how important that thing is!!" he shouted causing the child to cry even more "E-Erren" I stopped him but he ignored me and pressed his grip on Hiro even more "Don't you f*ck*ng cry in front of me!" he said angrier "i-im s-s-sorry d-daddy" said my son holding back his tears as I slowly approached them because I felt sorry for my son "don't call me daddy!" "T-That's right Erren!!" "i-im s-sorry s-s-sir.." I immediately grabbed Hiro from him and the boy quickly hugged me while softly crying on my chest I feel hurt for my son, why does he have to experience this thing too "Can you pls be more sensitive Erren! He's just three years old!" I yelled at him angrily "but he broke the vase that Hannah made herself" he said to me dumbfounded I looked at him and picked up my son who continued to cry softly and hug me tightly "it's not just that vase that broke and disappeared tonight Erren...also your son" I made a meaningful promise to him before turning him away just what I have done in the past to experience this situation, to experience being a duplicate of my twin sister Maria Hannah Beunavista, and be a wife of the cold hearted bastard, Marc Erren Beunavista I am Maria Hanni Ramos Beunavista and this is my story
