Prison of Lies (Partners in Crime Book 2)

Chapter 23

"AYOKO NA! I CAN'T EVEN STAND SEEING YOU!!!" Tell me this is not happening? Sa sobrang gulat ay napahawak ako sa bibig ko. Rivers of tears were falling down on my cheeks. Why all of a sudden nag bago siya?

"Are you having an affair?" I weakly replied. I have loved him with all my heart and I thought everything was perfect. He didn't answer back. I guess, his silence means YES. He is cheating.

Lumapit ako para sampalin siya. But he held a grip on my wrist para pigilan ako. He is too strong. Halos matumba ako ng bitiwan niya ako. Caleb grabbed his suitcase na tila may hinahanap ito.

"How dare you Caleb! Hindi mo pwede gawin sakin ito---"

There I was left speechless nang ibato niya sa mukha ko ang isang brown envelope. Sa sobrang lakas ay tumapon lahat ng mga laman nito.

Those are my pictures.

At napaluhod ako sa iyak ng makita ang mga ito.

This is not real. Tell me this is just a nightmare.

CALEB'S POINT OF VIEW

I thought I can still work this out. I thought I can be okay after having an affair with another woman. But this damn hurts me, every time I saw my wife. I angrily clenched my jaw. This marriage is a trash.

" This is not true Caleb, believe me. " Nataranta niyang pinulot ang mga litrato.

Those are her pictures with another man in New York. I am so done with her. I have cried enough after I find out that she cheated, FIRST. My heart was filled with hatred and disgust with this woman. WITH MY WIFE

I pick up my phone and browsed my multimedia to show her a video.

A video that she was kissing another man. She looked so wasted and drunk but they were kissing in disgust. Mukhang ang lalaki ang kumuha ng video using a front camera.

"NANDIDIRI AKO SAYO! HOW THE HELL CAN YOU CHEAT ON ME MARGAUX?!" Hinawakan niya ang mga paa ko as if she was begging for forgiveness. They have a picture together, going in and out of the hotel. Inside that bastard's car and even in his condo.

I also find out that they used have the same circle of friends in New York. That's why they seemed pretty close.

"Let me explain Caleb.. Believe me walang nangyari.. Please" I drew an evil laugh. How can you explain this Margaux? I was so over with this pain. Pinigilan kong wag tumulo ang luha ko. I am so stupid. Ginawa niya akong tanga.

" YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING. THIS WILL NO LONGER WORK. I'M DONE WITH YOU."

I Pointed a finger at her. Mabilis kong kinabit ulit ang mga butones ng aking polo, Sabay hanap sa mga maleta ko. Siyaka ko na hahabulin ang mga karapatan ko sa pamamahay na ito at sa iba pang ari-arian namin. I just want out of here. My love for her was slowly fading. I have loved her all these years, tapos ito ang isusukli niya sakin? I never cheated in this marriage, ngayon lang because I can't stand how painful it is.

"You can't do this sweetie? You have to trust me.. please.. don't leave me"

She's unbelievable. Saan pa siya kumukuha ng lakas ng loob sabihin sakin yan? She was trying to stop me but I won't let her. Tinungo ko ang wardrobe at kinuha ang aking mga damit. Isang malaking pagkakamali ang ginawa niyang yan.

" YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU HAVE TO BE THANKFUL BECAUSE I STILL MANAGED TO STOPPED HIM FROM LEAKING YOUR VIDEO! HINDI MO NA KO BINIGYAN KAHIT NG KONTING KAHIHIYAN!!! "
