Going back to work

No matter how much he tried to justify what he did and how he did it, it didn't change the fact that he was unfaithful to his wife. He not once in four years considered how she felt being all alone in an empty house waiting for her husband. When he spend the night with other women, had he ever thought about how she will feel looking at the photos.

With disappointments following each other, comes pain, grief, hate and then indifference. She loved him for so many years that it has reached a point she didn't care about him anymore. She had a wake up call. She was not in a healthy relationship. She wanted to connect with her man. Discuss things when they were tough. Go through obstacles together. To either be sink or swim together

But that was not what she experienced in her marriage. She had so many excuses as to why her husband was doing whatever he was. And one of them was because she wasn't doing things right. But looking back to everything she did, it was her all

At first, his mother called her aside to tell her Martin liked women that stayed home to take care of their husbands. And during one of their conversations, he said the same. That's was one of the contributing factors for her resignation back then.

Looking at it now, she was a fool. A fool to think sacrificing herself would make him love her more. Will make her marriage last longer. She wanted to be in the marriage forever. She didn't want to be one of the women that gave up easily.

The first package she got with one beautiful woman in his arms, she felt the world fell apart. She wanted so much to confront him but stopped herself. Saying to herself. If she did them they could end up divorcing. She ignored it

It came several others with each giving an excuse to herself. She slowing started to hate him. Her feelings were bottled deep inside her. She could not bring herself to ask about them. One she was afraid he would lie to her. She was afraid it would get out and affect their reputation. She was thinking of divorce but then, there was a lot to consider.

She then thought that maybe, if they had a child, he will settle at home and be a father and a husband. But he was never there in the first place. The nights were lonely and cold.

Just as the nights were cold daily, he heart was slowly turning cold towards him. She didn't even notice that each time she received those package, there were less care. It was it didn't concern her much.

Its not that she wasn't hurt but it was hurting her differently.

Now she was taking charge of her life. She didn't want to live for anyone else. Not even her parents and family

She didn't care what others would think of her. She didn't care even if she was divorced and lived alone for the rest of her life. To her, life was short to live with a scumbag. With that thought, she started her journey plan. What she needed to be happy. One on the list was to get her job back

This morning, she was going back to meet with the chairman of the former hospital she working with. She needed to start somewhere. It had been five years since she last practiced. She needed a refresher course.

While she was meeting the important figures in her career, Martin was planning what to do to save their marriage. At the same time, Aliya was planning what to do to get Evelyn out of the picture.

The fight had begun.

One for his marriage, the other for her life and the other getting another woman's man.

There is something Martin didn't know.

Evelyn knew few secrets of what he did that only he knew.

Whoever she knew nobody knows. She playing dumb was due to the love she felt for him. The same day she received a text to come to the El Luna hotel, she also received an email with details information on serious allegations about murder, kidnapping and extortion.

The night she confronted the two of them, it was to show them she was capable of protecting herself even if it means resulting to illegal measures. It was a message she was passing. But that night she made a decision. Her life was her own.

There was also information of him working with Aliya to committee the said crime. That gave her reasons as to why he could not leave his old flame…

The threats he was getting was not because of their marriage or Aliya telling on him. It was Aliya telling on him on the crimes they had done together… Its really interesting how the human minds work

He thought he could twist the story into something that could seem realistic and close to their relationship. Love. The affair was not a big deal to him. Even if it was exposed, the best they could do is divorce. But if the several murders and other crimes were to be exposed, then he was facing a different case.

No wonder he wanted to run the presidency that was the only way he could protect himself.

But all this was unknown to others. Martin was in the dark another soul has known of it.

How Evelyn was going to use the information will determine a lot of things in their relationship. But first things first. She has to stand on her own. Her family was there was for her. But if she wants to be supported with others, she has to show she has more than just her pretty face

From this day, she was going back to work…. They were happy to have her back

The first on her list was solved

….. To the next one…. Freedom
