I set up my alarm on my phone at exactly five in the morning. I slowly drag my lazy body out of our bed when Kent woke up with my sudden movement.
He impatiently opens his eyes to see what I was doing.
“It’s too early. Where do you think you’re going?”, he asked me while I was preparing myself to take a shower.
I sat beside him and planted a kiss on his lips.
” I’ll go jog to stretch my legs, honey. I felt my body seems to get weaker after we get home.” I mumbled.
Kent was still sleepy so he let me go.
“Just come back before Dilan woke up l, okay? You know he’s looking for you every time he woke up.” He reminded me.
I just wear my sweet smile at my husband when he said about our son Dilan but the truth was I hated him so much. When I see his face especially his eyes, it reminded me about Lucy.
He’s not mine to protect and defend. I only took him so that she will left but nothing.
“Sure, I’ll be back!”, I replied.
I promptly texted Brian where he was so that he can guide me to the place where he buried Lucy alive.
I could feel the cold wind brushing my face when I rolled down my car window.

Even the weather in the Philippines wasn’t the same as the winter season of the states, the damp air on her skin was a bit strange. She feels anxious and she doesn’t know why. She wrapped her arms around her shivering body when Brian hastily sneak on her window and she startled in surprise.
” You shock me! Get in!”, she commanded him and put on her eyeglasses.
Brian was wearing simple summer shorts and a plain white shirt with eyeglasses too. They navigated the roadway to Tagaytay tourist spot where he buried Lucy after she got out of the prison almost two months ago.
“Are you sure she’s dead? Did you find anyone suspicious around you? Did someone saw you?”, Eloisa asked him many questions to make sure that Brian did a perfect assault.
He set a wide smirk on his face.
” Of course, I killed her! I buried her and until I hop inside the car, no one was around!”, he replied.
Eloisa quickly burst out into laughter and then stop to focus on her driving. Finally, they reach the place, and Brian directly escorts her to Lucy’s grave.
“That’s it. Check it!”, He said at her and without hesitation, Eloisa gets the shovel from Brian and digs the hole deeper and deeper until she found Lucy’s corpse.
You can’t tell if she won the lottery or won a house and lot by her expressions. She looks crazy when she gently wipe the tears from her eyes.
” I’m sorry, my friend but it’s for your good. Well, don’t worry, your son is safer with us! Sayonara!”, she shouted in the atmosphere because of her happiness.
After she checks her decayed bodily, she adds 50, 000 pesos to Brian’s bank account.
” Here. Get lost and Good job anyway!”, she said after leaving Brian alone.
He just took a sigh and lit one cigarette on his hands.

“Lucy?”, Eloisa can’t believe what she just saw right in front of her.
She thought Lucy was dead and she confirmed it but how can she get back to life as nothing happened. And now, she’s back as Gale’s wife?
Kent almost drops his jaws to see Lucy again. It’s been five years when Eloisa cut off his ties at her. He was dumb and fool that time because all he thinks was himself, the money his father-in-law invested at his dad’s company, and the Kings and Queens Hotel owns him too. It’s a gift from Eloisa’s dad to both of them.
He seems like he saw a fairy, so sweet and innocent. She’s still gorgeous ever but he can’t believe that Gale found her and hit on her to be his wife. He knew his stepbrother very well and it’s nonsense that she was his wife and he changed her name to Greta Stone.
Eloisa and Kent keep their mouth shut when Gale and Lucy we’re approaching them. Eloisa didn’t make any blinks.
Lucy walked like a supermodel in her evening gown and you will see the difference between Lucy Mason and Greta Stone.
Greta Stone is a highly sophisticated and smart girl while Lucy Mason was a useless and naive girl.
Kent’s eyes were also locked at Greta’s enchanting beauty.
” That’s her. She’s the one who gave me ice cream!”, Dilan shouted but Eloisa told him to stay quiet.
“My brother, I’m so happy that you came with your family!”, Gale greeted them while both of them were stunned to see Greta’s presence.
” Anyway, this is my lovely wife, Greta. Greta this is my brother Kent and his wife Eloisa.” He shifted his gaze at them and Greta reaches her hands for a handshake.
