Introduction

"Tapusin na natin ang ating kasal sa pamamagitan ng iyong pirma, at ipasa ang titulo ng Mrs. Wellington sa tunay na nagmamay-ari ng iyong puso."

Ang tatlong taong pagsasama ni Evelyn Taylor kay Edward Wellington ay puno ng kanyang hayagang pagpapabaya. Napagtanto niya na walang saysay ang kanyang mga pagsisikap; ang pagmamahal ni Edward ay para sa iba. Sa wakas, nilagdaan ni Evelyn ang mga papeles ng diborsyo at muling binawi ang kanyang buhay, bumalik sa mundo bilang kanyang tunay na sarili—ang nag-iisang tagapagmana ng isang napakalaking yaman, isang kilalang doktor, isang elite hacker, at isang prodigy sa fencing.

Nabigla si Edward sa mga natuklasang aspeto ng pagkatao ni Evelyn. Hindi niya kailanman naisip na ang babaeng kanyang binitiwan ay nagtataglay ng ganitong kahanga-hangang mga talento.

"Nagkamali ako. May pagkakataon pa ba para magsimula tayo muli?" pakiusap ni Edward, hawak ang kanyang kamay na may bagong kababaang-loob.

Ang ngiti ni Evelyn ay may halong pang-uuyam nang sumagot siya, "Punong-puno na ang aking listahan ng mga manliligaw na may pambihirang kalibre. Ano ang dahilan ko para balikan ang nakaraan kasama ang isang dating asawa?"

Chapter 1

Tahimik na tahimik ang sala.

Isang tasa ang lumipad patungo kay Edward Wellington, nabasa siya. Kung hindi siya nakaiwas, malamang nabasag ang kanyang noo.

"Hayop ka, lagi kang kontra sa akin, ha?" Sigaw ni Byron Wellington, lolo ni Edward, habang binabasag ang mesa sa galit.

"Sinabi ko na sa iyo ng milyong beses na lumayo ka sa pamilya Adams, pero dinala mo pa ang isang kahina-hinalang tao sa bahay bago pa makipaghiwalay. Ano ang iisipin ng mga tao tungkol kay Lily? Ano ang sinasabi nito tungkol sa pamilya Wellington?"

Nakatayo lang si Edward, tahimik pero matatag.

"Mr. Wellington, maghinay-hinay po kayo," sabi ng matandang butler na nag-aalala sa kalusugan ng matanda, mabilis na nagbuhos ng isa pang tasa ng kape. Pero inagaw ito ni Patrick Wellington at maingat na iniabot kay Byron.

"Tay, alam kong nagkamali si Edward, pero hindi mo kayang kontrolin ang damdamin. Tatlong taon na silang kasal ni Lily. Kung hindi pa siya nahulog sa kanya, ibig sabihin hindi talaga sila para sa isa't isa."

Dapat sana'y hindi na nagsalita si Patrick. Ang makita ang kanyang mukha ay lalo lang nagpagalit kay Byron.

Hinampas ni Byron si Patrick gamit ang kanyang tungkod. "Masama ang impluwensya mo. Hindi ko nagustuhan ang asawa mo, at ngayon pinapakawalan ni Edward ang apo sa tuhod na aprubado ko." Papaluin pa sana niya ulit si Patrick pero bigla siyang nahilo at hirap huminga. Nagmamadaling sumuporta sina Edward at Patrick at hinimas ang likod niya.

"Napakalungkot. Pareho kayong dalawa, pinapakawalan ang magagandang babae at pinipili ang may mga lihim na agenda."

Pagkatapos makahinga ng maayos, galit na itinulak ni Byron ang kamay ni Edward at sa wakas kinuha ang kape. "Sige, sabihin mo sa akin ng totoo, paano mo pinirmahan ang kasunduan sa diborsyo noon? Gusto kong malaman kung gaano nagdusa si Lily kasama mo."

Gumalaw ang mga labi ni Edward habang tinitingnan ang tubig na tumutulo mula sa kanyang buhok, naaalala ang mga luha sa kasunduan. Nawawala siya sa kanyang mga iniisip.

Nakatayo si Lily Brown sa harap ni Edward, puno ng hilaw na sakit ang kanyang mga mata, pilit na ngumiti. "Ano ang sinabi mo?"

Sumagot si Edward ng malamig na ngiti, "Wala akong oras para makipagtalo sa iyo. Pinirmahan ko na ang mga papeles ng diborsyo."

Kinagat ni Lily ang kanyang labi, pilit na nagsasalita sa kabila ng mga luha. "Edward, nagbibiro ka siguro. Ang diborsyo ay dapat pinag-uusapan natin ng magkasama. Paano na si Lolo..."

Lalong nainis si Edward. "Alam mo kung paano naganap ang kasal natin. Sawa na ako sa kasal na walang pagmamahal. Kahit si Lolo, hindi kayang baguhin ang isip ko ngayon."

"Walang damdamin? Edward, hindi mo ba nakikita na mahal kita? Tatlong taon na tayong kasal, hindi tatlong araw o tatlong oras. Hindi mo ba talaga nakikita?" Halos bumigay na si Lily, nanginginig na lumapit sa mesa pero matigas na itinaas ang ulo, umaasa ng sagot mula kay Edward.

Pero nanatiling pareho ang kanyang ekspresyon, malamig at matigas na parang estatwa. "Alam mo naman na kung hindi dahil sa pakikialam ni Lolo, hindi kita pakakasalan. Ang pagpapakasal sa iyo ay huling opsyon ko. May mahal akong iba, at babalik na siya."

Nang mabanggit ni Edward ang unang pag-ibig niyang si Nicole Adams, lumambot ang kanyang tono, "Dapat noon pa ako kasama ni Nicole. Ngayon, wala nang makakapigil sa amin."

Hindi na napigilan ni Lily ang kanyang mga luha at tinitigan si Edward ng may kalungkutan. "Kaya pala, isa lang akong hadlang na dapat itapon?"

Napabuntong-hininga si Edward, "Ang kasal natin ay isang pagkakamali mula sa simula. Tapusin na natin ito para sa ikabubuti nating dalawa."

Walang nagsalita muli, ang hangin ay puno ng tensyon, tanging ang tunog ng mga luha ni Lily na tumatama sa mesa ang maririnig.

Mabilis niyang pinunasan ang kanyang mga luha, pilit na pinanghahawakan ang huling piraso ng kanyang dignidad.

Sa mga sandaling iyon, tumunog ang telepono ni Edward, binasag ang mabigat na atmospera. Nang makita ang pangalan ng tumatawag, lumambot ang kanyang ekspresyon at sinagot ito.

"Nicole, hindi ba dapat nasa eroplano ka papuntang Mythorica? May nangyari ba?"

"Wala, Edward, hulaan mo kung nasaan ako ngayon?" Ang malikot na boses ni Nicole ay narinig sa telepono.

"Hindi ko mahuhulaan. Kailan ka babalik? Anong oras ang dating ng flight mo para masundo kita?"

"Nasa Mugden Airport na ako."

"Ano?" Tiningnan ni Edward ang kanyang relo. "Kung tama ang pagkakaalala ko, hindi ka dapat darating hanggang alas-siyete ng gabi."

Sumagot si Nicole, "Pero paano magiging sorpresa kung alam mo?"

"Ang kulit mo talaga. Hintayin mo ako diyan, parating na ako." Ngumiti si Edward ng malambing, hindi man lang tiningnan ang kanyang nominal na asawa na si Lily, at nawala sa kanyang paningin.

Hindi na nakayanan ni Lily, bumagsak siya sa sofa ng study na may mapait na ngiti. Tapos na, ang kanyang tatlong taon na walang pag-asang kasal.

Ngunit hindi siya makapaniwala. Minahal niya si Edward ng higit sa tatlong taon, bago pa man sila ikasal, gusto na niya ito ng sampung taon.

Ano ang magagawa niya? Kung hindi lang niya nakita ang mahinahong asal ni Edward kay Nicole kanina, baka patuloy pa rin niyang niloloko ang sarili, iniisip na balang araw ay mapapalambot niya ang malamig na puso nito sa kanyang pagmamahal. Ngunit ngayon...

Nagdesisyon na si Lily, pinipigil ang masakit na nararamdaman sa kanyang puso. Ngayon, kailangan na nilang tapusin ito dito.

Sa wakas, matatag niyang pinirmahan ang kasunduan sa diborsyo.

Iniisip niya, 'Tapos na, Lily, umalis ka sa kasal na ito na may natitirang dignidad.'

Habang lumalalim ang gabi, maayos na siniyasat ni Lily ang mga setting ng hapag-kainan gaya ng dati, hindi pinapansin ang masiglang eksena sa labas ng pintuan.

Buhat ni Edward ang isang marikit na babae sa kanyang mga bisig, iniikot ito ng tatlong beses sa gitna ng mga hiyaw, kinukuha ang atensyon ng lahat.

"Edward, ano ba 'yan? Ibaba mo na ako, nakakahiya, ang daming nanonood. Paano kung magkamali si Lily..." Ipinatong ni Nicole ang kanyang mukha sa dibdib ni Edward, tinitingnan siya ng may hiya at inis.

"Huwag mo siyang alalahanin," ngumiti si Edward, ngunit may bahid ng pagkayamot sa kanyang mga mata, "Malinaw ko nang sinabi sa kanya; kung may konting sentido siya, hindi niya tayo guguluhin."

Lumaki ang ngiti ni Nicole, ang kanyang mga mata ay mapanghamong tumitig kay Lily.

Mula nang pumasok siya, napansin na niya ang malungkot na anyo ni Lily. Iniisip niya, 'Kahit na ikinasal si Lily kay Edward, sa huli, ang puso niya ay nasa akin pa rin.'

Naglakad ang dalawa papasok sa dining room, kinukuha ang atensyon ng lahat. Pagkaupo nila, ang karaniwang kalmadong butler ay nagmamadaling lumapit, bumulong kay Edward, "Tumakas si Mrs. Wellington!"

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
