Magdalene's POV
What I really hate is being betray because all my life that's what I get.
Betrayal hits different if it comes from the people you love.
I always get betrayed by the people I love. I know that I should have learned from my experiences but despite of those, part of me want to trust them. That this time they will care for what will I feel.
"Hello, it's so nice to meet you again dear." She said.
"Janice." I utter her name. Shock is evident in my expression.
"Hello Ma'am are you still there?" The investigator said and I ended our call. I almost forgot that I'm talking to him.
"How have you been?" I ask and act like nothing happen.
She raise her eyebrow so I did also.
"I'm not here to have chitchat with you. May I remind you that don't be so shock because one day, all of the things that you took away from me, will be back on me." She is teasing me.
"I don't remember any thing that I took from you. Maybe they aren't yours, in the first place. If you don't mind excuse me, I will go to my HUSBAND." I give her a very sweet smile before I started to walk away.
"I know something about you. Something that you kept on hiding from other people. Can you imagine what will happen if they find out what kind of person are you?" I stopped because of what she said. I'm too stunned to walk.
"Mags." Blemsh call me and that's the moment I back to my senses.
I took a glance to Janice who is observing my face before I go to him and give him a kiss.
"What are you doing here?" Shock is evident to his eyes.
"I'm visiting you. Can't I visit my husband? When was Janice came back? You didn't tell me that." I acted like mad.
"So what if she's back? I'm busy right now, Can you please go home and just wait there?" This time I'm the one who's shock.
"Right. I'm just kidding, I just drop because I have business nearby, uh by the way I brought you food." I pointed the paper bags where contains the food.
"Thanks. My virtual meeting is about to start. Emma, can you please send Mags to her car." He command to her secretary before he kiss me and go to back to his office.
"Let's go ma'am." Emma said but I only smile.
"I can manage Emma. Did Blemsh eat? Can you please arrange the food I brought and send it to his office later?" I ask her a favor.
"Mr. Blemsh ate his lunch with Ms. Janice. I will arrange the foods and bring it to Mr. Blemsh after his meeting." She said, since I'm really curious I can't stop myself from asking.
"Is Janice always visit Blemsh? When it's started?" Her secretary freeze, I sense that she's afraid that she said the wrong thing.
"Oh, Janice and I are good friends. I know that she's planning to invest here at our company. I was the one who told her that she should visit Blemsh and pursue him." I smile to assure her that I know that Janice is visiting my husband.
"Ms. Janice visiting him always for almost two weeks Ma'am. I thought you will get mad Haha." She exhales like she's so nervous while ago.
"We are friends ever since in our College. Oh I gotta go." I wave my hands and make my way out.
I keep on erasing my idea that Blemsh is hiding something on me. I must trust him, Blemsh is a dignified man, he will never betray me.
My mind is too clouded of many thoughts up to the point that I can't process it. I don't know what to think first, what I should solve first. It feels like my head will about to explode.
That night I waited for him even though I felt so tired. I waited to him because I want to trust him. It's 12:09 in the morning when he arrived. He smell alcohol but he still managed to act like he isn't drunk.
"Why did you wait for me?" He asked instead of answering him I prepare his clothes.
"Did you eat? Do you want me to prepare foods for you?" I asked.
"No need, I'll change my clothes and let's sleep." He said.
While he was changing, I asked him about Janice to clear my mind.
"Since when Janice came back?" I started and he shrugged his shoulder.
"Hmmm, When did she started visiting you?" I smiled to assure that it's not big deal.
"While ago, she was proposing about business. But of course it was just quick visit, probably 10 minutes." He said and I remained quiet.
"Let's sleep," he said and laid in bed.
I was about to make a move towards him but he turned his back to me.
Why are you doing this Blemsh? Why did you suddenly change?

I need to be prepare, tomorrow won't be sure, the crisis has start.
I just received a text.
"I'm expecting you to be there."
It's from Janice, She wants me to meet her.
Wearing my black jeans and plain white tops, I partner it with leader jacket, inside it, is pen knife. I always bring this, just in case that someone will do bad in me, at least I can protect myself. The only person that can protect you is yourself.
I walked slowly but vigilant in the room she said. I'm meeting her at one of the high-end class bar.
There she is sitting comfortably in the sofa. She raise her eyebrow when she spotted me.
"What do you want?" I directly said.
"I want you to leave Blemsh." She respond in eagerly.
"And what made you think that I will do it?" I said and sit down in front of her.
"Why do you think, I'm too confident that you will follow me?" she drink her vodka. She's right, why she's too confident, what does she know?
"I'm not here to play mind games with you. I will not leave Blemsh, I hope I made myself clear." I said and stood, ready to leave.
"Killer," Word that make me stop.
"You killed someone, have you ever imagined what will Blemsh reaction if he knew it?" I know that she will use that as blackmail to me.
"And so what, if he find out? Do you think he will believe you?" I fiercely said.
"Ha ha ha, I love your spirit, what if I got an evidence?" No, No that's not true. I shook my head, no one knew, no one got evidence.
"What will happen if the world found out what you did, you think? How it will affect the career of Blemsh?" I froze on what she said.
"I did not kill someone." I defended.
"Whom did you fool? You're fooling yourself. Who will believe in you, Magdalene?" she said now stood up.
I walk closer to her, and whisper,
"What if I did it? Do you have your evidence?" She step backward.
"I have someone who can prove that you did it." I hate to think who it was.
"Now, You froze. This is not your game Magdalene, so stop trying to win." She go back sitting on sofa.
"Oh yah, I almost forgot that it's your Dad who told to me. Hmp, I know, that you already knew that he was the sending you worms. Did you like my gifts?" Now she's laughing like crazy.
"If you don't want to leave Blemsh, then I will make sure that he will leave you. Should I tell it now to Blemsh?" She get her phone and I constantly shook my head.
"Oh will it be better, if your Dad will be the one who'll tell it? Since he's already at your house." She smirk, I can believe it.
"No, no, no." I said and walk away.
I run immediately to my car and drive as fast as I can.
Dad, how can he do this to me? Did he really never consider me as his child that's why it so easy for him to betray me?
I'd like to think that like me, he is also a victim. We are both victim of lies because of mom is selfishness. That's why I can't totally hate him despite how cruel his treatment towards to me.
But just like him, I'm also a victim. That between the two of us, it's me who suffer the most. Yet, I never betray him because I know how hurt it is. However, it doesn't mean that it's okay for me to get betray.
As I parked my car, I received a message,
"Sorry, I'm so excited so I tell to your dad to tell it to Blemsh already."
The lights are open meaning someone is already there. Am I too late?
When I open the door, Blemsh is sitting on the sofa. Still wearing his office attire when he saw me, he give me cold stares.
"Magdalene, I want us to divorce." He said.
