Married To A Philandering Bastard

Epilogue

A/N: So kung nakaabot ka man dito sa sa Epilogue, I want to say these to you. First of all, I want to say thank you for reading Haden and Athena's story. This is my first story so marami siyang loopholes but still, I want to say thank you for reading it. The characters have a lot of red flags but they learned from their mistakes at kung napagtyagaan mo yon, thank you very very much.

This story is just a work of fiction but I know that every mistake of my characters is not acceptable especially the cheating part and I apologize for that. To all girls out there, please don't be contented on bare minimum because you deserve the BEST. And to all of you out there, please don't cheat on your partners. You have to treat them right with love and respect. That's all. Sending heartssss. Love you 🧡.

So this is the last chapter of MTAPB. I hope that you can still support me sa upcoming stories ko. Anyway, check the multimedia. That's Athena and Haden's wedding song. Enjoying reading!

──── ⑅*❀*⑅ ────

After that night when I said yes to him, mas lalo pa siyang naging sweet and caring. Sinabi niya lang sakin na kahit na kasal na kami at magpapakasal ulit, gusto niya na ligawan ako dahil hindi niya raw ito nagawa noon. I really found it sweet kaya hinayaan ko nalang siya.

And for the past months, naging busy rin siya at inakala ko noon na nambababae siya. Hindi pa rin naman nawala ang sweetness niya pero lagi nalang siyang busy.

Noong una ay inintindi ko yon pero nang sunod sunod na ay kinompronta ko siya. He said that he's not seeing anyone. Muntik pa talaga kami nong maghiwalay dahil naglilihim siya sa akin and to my surprise, nagpapagawa pala siya ng magiging bahay namin. Napapangiti nalang talaga ako kapag naaalala ko yung time na yon.

Several months ago...

Haden is always busy and he's saying that it's because of his work pero nang tanungin ko ang secretary niya ay sinabi nito na maaga raw itong umaalis.

Ayoko namang magduda pero masyado na niya akong sinasagad. Lagi nalang siyang busy at wala ng time samin pag-uwi niya. He's living with us sa bahay ng parents ko at kapag umuuwi siya don ay diretso tulog na rin agad.

Natyempuhan ko naman siya na pagdating niya kaya kinompronta ko na siya. Buti naman at tulog na ang kambal kaya makakapag-usap kami.

"Haden, why are you so busy these past few weeks?"

"I'm sorry, Lauren. It's just about work" he said and smiled at me. I just stared at him coldly.

"Liar"

"I'm not lying, Lauren"

"Tinawagan ko ang secretary mo at sabi niya ay maaga ka raw umaalis sa office mo. Tell me, Haden, may iba ka na bang mahal huh? Iiwan mo na ba kami?" agad namang nangilid ang luha ko at natataranta naman siya.

"It's not what you think, wife. Okay, I'm sorry for lying but I don't love someone else. I only love you and our kids" umiling lang ako sakanya.

"No, Haden. You don't love us anymore. Mag-annul nalang tayo" I said at mas lalo naman siyang nataranta.

"Wife!" tumaas ang boses niya kaya ngayon naman ay naiiyak nako.

"See? Sinisigawa mo nako, Haden. You don't love me anymore"

"It's not what you think, Lauren. Stop crying na please" pakiusap niya pa.
