CHAPTER 1

Aniah's POV

"I'm home!" I shouted as I entered our house. It's been a while.

"Iah!" Manang Saling welcomed me with a warm embrace. She's been our housemaid since I was a kid. She's like a mom to me already.

"Why you did not call? So that I can ask someone to fetch you at the airport." She asked me after the warm embrace.

"I will surprise my sister Manang. By the way, where is she? Where is Inah?" I asked. I am pulling my suitcases with me as I walk near our staircase.

"She left earlier. She did not say where she will go. Maybe she's with her friends." Manang answered like it was the usual thing that my sister does.

"Is she always with her friends?" I asked curiously.

"Lately, yes. Maybe she is getting bored here. She is always alone, your parents are always out of town and she's always left with us." She explained. I nodded and asked again.

"What time did she leave? Is she long gone before I came?" Maybe she will go home anytime soon.

"She left early in the morning darling," Manang said hesitantly.

"Oh! What a life she has!" I exclaimed. But maybe she deserves that, she needs to unwind sometimes. Most teenagers nowadays are always drained from schoolwork.

Manang assisted me up until my room. "Thank you, Manang!" She just smiled at me.

"Manang, I will sleep first because I still have jetlag. Wake me up as soon as Inah arrives or just wake me up if it's already dinner time." I want to sleep so badly. I am tired from the trip. I just go home here in the Philippines to unwind. I want to have a vacation, away from my work, away from my business, away from the stress. I hope this vacation will be worth it.

"Okay, I will just wake you up later. By the way, what do you want for dinner?" Manang never fails to ask me what I want for dinner. It's been years but the care Manang has for me is incomparable.

"I want pork adobo Manang. It's been a long time since I last tasted it. And of course, it is special because you're the one that will cook it for me!" I smiled after that. I really love Manang. I cannot imagine my life without Manang. I don't think I will grow into who I am today if not because of Manang.

"Okay, pork adobo it is." She smiled again before finally leaving me. I can still hear her footsteps when I closed the door.

I just put my suitcases inside my walk-in closet before finally jumping into my bed. "It's been a while my beddy bed!" I just put my handbag on my bedside table before settling in. I feel exhausted, really.

......

"Iah, ija, wake up. It's already dinner." I slowly open my eyes when I feel someone slightly tapping my legs. I want to close my eyes again and I feel like I don't want to eat because I want to sleep.

"Okay manang, I will just freshen up then I will go downstairs." I am still wiping my eyes as I answer manang. I am still sleepy. I feel manang stand-up and after a few seconds, she walks toward the door to leave me alone.

As I comb my hair I am thinking about things, I am thinking about Inah, and I am thinking about what happened after I left. I have a lot of questions and I hope Aninah will be patient enough to answer me. I hope she was already downstairs and waiting for me but manang did not say anything about Inah's presence. Where is she?

I will ask her about her studies. I know she's doing well but still, I want to ask her. She's always with the maids and I know she's feeling alone inside this house sometimes. I don't know how seldom our parents go here to bond with Inah or just to visit her. I know that they are busy but I hope they make time for Inah. I am already sorry for Inah because I leave for abroad right after I graduate. But I have my own reasons.

I walked directly to the dining area, no sign of Aninah. Is she still out?

"Manang, is Inah still not around?" I asked manang. She's the one who I always have a conversation with among the maids. Aside from she's been around since I was a little kid, our other helpers are assigned to the dirty kitchen or outside.

"She's not yet home Iah." She answered while pouring my glass with water. When I was in Inah's age I cannot stay this late outside. My parents are very strict with me, maybe because I am naturally hard-headed and I am always prone to danger and chaos. But to be honest, I always obeyed them, and even when I am living alone in college I am still following my curfew. I am just scared that they will say hurtful words again.

"Is she always like that?" I put some rice and adobo on my plate while waiting for manang to answer me. It's nearing 8 o'clock in the evening and she's still out there.

"Not really, but there is a time that she went home at around 4 am. I am not aware of where she went during that day. I did not ask her." 4 am? I'm sure that our parents are not aware of that but Inah doesn't need to worry because I will not tell our parents.

"Okay manang, I will just talk to her later. Why don't you eat with me manang?" I asked manang to eat with me, I am always eating alone abroad and now that I am here in the Philippines, I don't want that.

"Oh sorry, Iah but I can't eat with you. I am not allowed to eat fatty foods, aside from that I can't eat as much as I eat before. It's bad for my health and I need to observe my blood pressure." Oh! It seems like I don't have a choice but to eat alone.

"Okay manang, no worries. Maybe next time? If the food is good for your body." She laughed at me and leave me alone.

I missed being called ija and Iah. No one's calling me that abroad. And only manang calls me ija. Never in my life have my mom called me ija or Iah. It's always my full name, I don't know why.

I heard the doorbell ring so I asked one of our maids to look who is that. I wonder who's that, it's already late for visitors and I know manang did not order food online. We're not expecting anyone tonight so I wonder who's that?

I became irritated as soon as I saw who is it. "What the?! Where did you go?!" I shouted at Inah, she was with her friends and she was drunk. Inah did not respond, maybe because of drunkness.

"Uhm, we went to the bar, Inah asked us to go with her. We are hesitant at first but she badly wanted it. We're very sorry, we did not expect that she will be this drunk."One of Inah's friends explained. I don't care if she badly wanted it.

"Are you always out with her at the bar?" I don't know what the hell is happening with my sister. She was not like this when I left. I am already twenty-five years old and I can count how many times I went to the bar and then now Inah is fucking drunk in front of me. She's only eighteen for fuck's sake!

"Uh, no. It's just the second time around. We were at the bar last month and that's the first time." Her friend answered again.

"It's not because you're already allowed to go to the bar you'll abuse it. Now, you may go. It's already late. Thank you for taking care of my sister. By the way, I am Iah." I get Inah from their hold and assisted her to the couch.

"Manang please help Inah to clean herself. I'll just talk to her tomorrow." I am pissed right now, what a way to welcome me Aninah! Her welcome is very much appreciated!

Should I scold her? Tomorrow definitely!

It's supposed to be a vacation, not stresscation.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
