Gale POV
I tried to calm myself by getting one cigarette from the cigar box from my pocket. I smoke when I was anxious. I cupped my head walking with my feet back and forth outside the mansion.
"What have I done? You're an asshole Gale! You are the one who broke the rules!” I blamed myself.
I hit my head many times with my fist. I blamed myself because I failed to control myself falling for Lucy. After smoking, I decided to go somewhere. Maybe I have to contact Eloisa to cure these desires. of mine to Lucy. She's only the one who can do it for me.
I don't know what Lucy was thinking inside at this moment, but I hope she wouldn't curse me her whole life.
I am glad that my car keys were inside my pocket. I decided to give both of us a little space. I was the one who made a mistake. I took my phone after I arrived at our meeting place. I texted Eloisa.
Me: Where are you right now? I need you!
Eloisa: I'm at the office with dad.
Me: Can we meet? I need someone to talk to.
Eloisa: hmmm, okay I'll be right there in 15 minutes.
I feel relieved to know that she's coming.
I had to keep it a secret from her about what I did to Lucy. Besides she didn't know that Greta was Lucy Mason itself. I don't intend to team with her anyway. I only used her to get what I want. To get back what my brother took me. The time will come that my father will love and adore me the way he adores Kent.

Eloisa quickly told her dad that she isn't feeling well.
“I'll just talk to him, dad. Don't worry, she will understand the situation! Can we talk tomorrow because I don't think I can work today? My head throb's so bad." She said as her excuse to meet Gale in their meeting place.
Her dad just took a deep sigh.
“Okay, take a good rest, baby. Be sure to talk to him!” her dad informed her, and he first left after his daughter.
Eloisa painted a smile on her face. She calls her secretary to cancel all her appointments and Kent has been canceled.
She was now on her way to the place where she and Gale met in times of nuisances.
Their employees greeted her as she walked the hallway going to the entrance. She saw some employees gossiping with each other while having a coffee so Eloisa came over to listened to them.
"Do you know what, sooner or later, Mr. Stone, our CEO will step down because of his selfish wife!” Ferlin, the talkative among them was like a reporter while talking to her colleagues.
All of them saw their boss' wife behind her with an angry face. She's still wanted to add when her workmates keep saying her to shut up.
“Why? No one can hear me and besides, it's the truth!” she insisted when Eloisa cleared her throat and stepped in front of her.
Her gaze was like Medusa, so powerful and venomous. Her hands were put on both sides of her waist.
Ferlin's eyes widened to see her boss standing just right in front of her.
"Ma’am E-Eloisa, I don't…know,” she stutters when Eloisa glares at her.
“Report to my office, tomorrow!” she yelled at her and told everyone to focus on their jobs.
"You're not here to talk about your boss's private life! Get back to work, hurry?” she shouted and made her way outside.
“What a lowlife!” she uttered while hoping inside her car.
She drove to Gale's location, but she had no idea that Lucy ordered Cassandra to pursue Gale's whereabouts.
Anytime, her husband Kent will be the one to discover what kind of wife she is.
---
Cassandra park the car she rented just nearby Pearl's hotel in Tagaytay. She was busy eating crackers while observing Gale who was there, standing outside his car, checking his phone from time to time, and checking the whole place with his attentive eyes.
She called Lucy. Cassandra loves her mission this time since she was a murderer back then, but she came back as a private investigator. This job is more exciting than stealing and killing for Cassandra. She lost a daughter after being discharged to the penitentiary and she didn't have the chance to save her.
"Lucy, I saw Gale outside the inn. Should I call Kent right away?” she asked her friend on the phone.
Lucy was inside her room and still thinking about what Gale did to her. She's mad and wants to kill him so badly but she can't do it since they made a promise about their plan but she's only disappointed when he forced her to kiss him. It's a rape case. She can file a case if she wants but everyone knows that Gale was her husband. They will just laugh at her.
She just had a shower, and a white towel was still wrapped around her naked body. She felt gross from Gale's touch and kisses. He was handsome and masculine, but she didn't feel anything for him, not even infatuation. Her heart belonged to nobody since she fell twice and there would be no third time. Being broken and pregnant and betrayed was a nightmare she didn't want to live anymore.
She set an evil look to think about the outcome of her plan to destroy Eloisa and her marriage with Kent. A little while longer and the last laugh would be hers.
“Okay, call Kent now and tell him that you had an important matter to talk to about me and Greta. He won't make a second thought to ignore you since he's eager to find me." Lucy instructed her friend and Cassandra knows what to do already.
She's not just an ordinary inmate back then because she was once a teacher when his husband Jacob tried to beat her, and she accidentally killed him. It's just an accident but because his husband's family was powerful when it comes to the law, they made her the suspect.
"Got it! I am now excited to see Kent's reaction when he finds out that his wife cheated on him.
“I trust you, okay? Let's rock and roll!” Lucy told her doing a happy face. She almost forgot that she was still wearing a towel.
"Okay, bye. Just tell me if our plan works!” she said and bid goodbyes to Cassandra.

Eloisa finally arrived at their meeting place. She quickly wears her eyeglasses to hide her face. Gale wave at her after he saw her stepping down her car.
On the other part of the road, a furious man was gritting his teeth and clenching her fist just to hold his intense anger at the two individuals who were so sweet and so in love with each other. He looked up and saw the place where they were approaching.
“How dare they betrayed me? So is this why she's nagging at me about the CEO thing because she's teaming up with my stepbrother?” Kent murmured.
He tried to control himself because he can't believe that Gale dared to make a fool of his wife Greta. How can he do that to his beautiful and kind wife? But Kent felt guilty after he thought of Lucy. He's no different from his brother too. He also played Lucy's heart and made her his mistress.
"I'm sorry, Lucy for not keeping my promises to you. But I promise to find you! I know you're just somewhere here in Makati." He murmured to himself.
He decided to take pictures of them entering the hotel.
"Now, I have the reason to divorce you, Eloisa,” he added after taking lots of photos of them and the way they enveloped each other's arms, their smiles, their eye contact, and stealing a kiss.
Kent had been distracted by his wife's adultery when he realized that someone was waiting for him. It was Cassandra, Greta's friend. At this point, he must meet her to know what Lucy’s relationship was with Greta.
He tried to call her, but Cassandra's phone was off. Kent was pissed and wanted to throw his phone.
"Is she joking around in a situation like this? I wish I didn't trust her in the first place. What if she's just a fraud!” Kent looks pissed after making his way back to his car.
On the corner of the street, Cassandra was hiding inside the small restaurant, holding a menu list to cover his face. Kent didn't know that he had been followed and studied by her.
She simply called Lucy about what happened.
“Mission accomplished. Kent was here and I told him to come because I had important news to tell him about his relationship with Greta and I can't believe that he would take our bait!” she told her feeling excited like she won the lottery.
Lucy laughed softly on the other end of the call. Now that Kent found out his bitchy wife had been with Gale, she was confident she could take back what they took from her.
She would make a great scandal in the business world. She would let everyone know that Eloisa had an affair with her husband, and she faked adoption papers to steal Lucy’s child.
"Good job, Cas. Let's celebrate soon after we finish our plan. I can't trust my husband anymore. " Lucy said on the phone and said goodbye to Cassandra.
A look of the devil came across her face while making her way to her closet. She picks a dress to wear and decided to visit her father. She can't let Gale visit him since she can't trust him. anymore. it's been almost five years since she saw him. After calling Cassandra to retreat from her location, Lucy decided to go to Eloisa's house to take Austin with her so that his grandfather will have the chance to meet her.

Kent, on the other hand, went straight to his attorney to file a divorce complaint about his wife to make their marriage unofficial but a huge revelation has been announced to him by his attorney.
"What? Our marriage was fake?” his huge voice almost filled the room.
Attorney Hugo simply nods his head. He can't even divorce Eloisa since his attorney can't find their name on the list of married couples. Their name wasn't found on the computer on legal couples list.
Kent's head started to throb. He couldn't understand why Eloisa would fake their marriage and she made him believe all along that their marriage was official.
“She fooled me too! If I had known this sooner, maybe my life didn't turn out like this? Ahhh!!!” Kent wanted to punch somebody to let go of his anger. His body was trembling because of anger.
"Thank you, attorney. I'll call you if I need anything." He said and left his attorney's office.
"Why? Why didn’t I know about it? Why Eloisa? What have you done? And why did you take Lucy's son? I will not forgive you for this!” Kent’s car practically flies as he pushes the speed into the triple digits.
He tried to calm himself by hardening his jaws. He needs to take a deep breath to let go of all the negative emotions that covering his body. The only place he wanted to visit is a place where you can get drunk and wasted. He went back to the same bar where he and Lucy first met after ten years.
“I hope you can forgive me, my love, Lucy", he mumbled after reaching the place.

Gale quickly hoisted Eloisa against the wall as they entered the hotel room.
He tears apart her clothes like he's in a hurry. He is harsh and impatient. Gale rolled her body to face the wall so that her butt was just an inch away from his hardness. He hastily pulled her panties down and teased her butt hole with the tip of his shaft.
"What are you doing? Not there!” Eloisa told him to shove his hard thing inside her wet pussy, but Gale continued rubbing it on her butt.
“Shhh, it's just like the sting of a needle, baby!” he whispered behind her ears as his hands cupped her breasts and teased her nipples.
"Shit, I like it!” she moans as he keeps stroking her nipples.
Gale bent down to put a little saliva on her butthole. It's his first time to put his hard thing inside Eloisa's virgin butt. He started licking it with his tongue and she seems to enjoy it. Her waist grind in extra pleasure as the warm feeling of Gale's tongue keeps stroking the sides of her butt.
“Are you ready?” he murmured behind her ears.
She's so damn wet down her cunt and her clit started to harden too.
"Yeah, I'm so damn ready, Gale. Please, put it in gently, okay?” She was a bit nervous since this was her first time being fucked in the ass.
Gale didn't have any second thoughts after that. He gently rubs the tip of his shaft first, making it ready to go inside. Eloisa twitched every time he attempted to push it halfway.
“Shhhh, I'm almost there, baby. Hold on a little longer!” Gale told her as he was now pushing his hard thing in.
Gale grabs her hair when he forcibly thrusts his loaded thing inside that hole.
"Shit, ahhh!!!” she cried out, but Gale didn't stop thrusting his whole shaft inside her.
“Do you like it, now? Isn’t it exciting?” he whispers while Eloisa is almost on her knees.
Gale decided to insert his middle finger inside her wetness while fucking her in her butt.
"Oh my, it feels so good!” She's now enjoying it.
Gale's movement becomes faster and now he's shoving his hardness deeper.
Gale tightens his grip on Eloisa's waist as he keeps moving his lower part into her wetness.
“Shit, I'm coming!” Gale shouted making Eloisa did the same.
Both of them catch their breath as they both reach their orgasms.

Life has full of heartaches and surprises. Sometimes you had to bear all the sadness and loneliness. Sometimes life is unfair too. The person you trusted the most can be the person who will betray you.
To Lucy, her life is chaos. From her childhood to adulthood, fate didn't favor her even in her love life.
As she saw her dad sleeping calmly on his bed, tears started to fall on her cheeks. To know that he's old and she's not beside him to take care of him.
"Dad, I promise to get you out of here. I'm sorry, I didn't manage to fight my innocence back then, but I am ready to fight now! Just hang on a little longer." She promised him while making soft sobs.
She roamed her eyes around to check if someone followed her. She felt relieved to know that she's safe. She knew who did this to her. She recalled how Gregory confessed to her over the phone before he killed himself.
It was Eloisa all along. He told her where to find the proof of all of her wicked plans especially the fake documents she made just to make sure no one suspected her evil plan. She also knows that she hired the three thugs to kill her and her dad. It was fifteen years ago from now on.
Lucy set a fierce look and gritted her teeth.
"I swear that I make her pay!” she mumbled while making her way out to the Elders Center.
She wanted to chill and loosen up a little to take away all the problems she had in mind. She decided to visit the place where she and Kent met by chance. She means for her it's an accidental reunion before she found out that she was been betrayed.

Lucy POV
Gale used me to get revenge on his brother Kent. Why does everyone keeps using me? All of them love to lie. Why did I have to live as Greta? I can tell the police everything I knew about her and her family's business but how would someone believe me if I was Greta and not their victim, Lucy? Maybe it's time to reveal to everyone that I am the girl who stumbled, helpless and broken. I am Lucy Mason, and I came back to take back what they took from me.
“One bucket of beer please!” I called to the bar staff after I found a table for myself. While waiting for my drink, I heard a familiar voice behind me.
As I turned my head to check who it was, I gulped twice. My heart didn't stop beating when I saw Kent sitting at an empty table behind me.
Our eyes met but I quickly put my head back to my table. I don't know what to say since I am not supposed to be here.
"Greta? Is that you?” he asked me. I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip.
