Romancing the Estranged Wife (Filipino/Tagalog)

Rebecca wanted a divorce. Gusto na niyang makawala nang tuluyan kay Lance Du Vermont, ang asawa niya sa loob nang halos anim na taon. Ang paglakda nito ang magiging daan sa kanyang kalayaan. Pwede na niyang gawin ang kahit anong naisin, kahit anong maibigan. Maipagpapatuloy na ni Rebecca ang buhay na inagaw sa kanya ng pangyayaring iyon. “Divorce, it is?” His eyes bored to her, as deep as the ocean. Nagaarok ang tingin nito. Waring tumatagos mula sa kanyang kalamnan hanggang sa kaluluwa. “What if I said 'No'?” “I-I want a divorce, Lance.” Sa maliit na tinig ay nasabi ni Rebecca sa asawa na ni minsan ay hindi niya nakasama. “Let’s put an end to this relationship. I want out of this.” Sinalubong niya ang bawat titig nito. Intense with unmasked emotion she couldn’t name. Marahil isang malaking pagkakamali ang tumingin sa mga mata ng isang Lance Du Vermont. May epekto kay Rebecca ang bawat titig nito. Feelings, emotions that were alien to her. There was silence for a moment and when Lance opened his mouth, Rebecca was stunned. “On one condition.” He leaned forward to his desk. Rebecca swear only Lance can make her heart go crazy. Can make her mind go insane. Being this close to him was a mistake. The last thing she wanted was to fall for the man. “On one condition…”he repeated. Eyes were fixed on her. “Heir.” Nang rumehistro sa isip niya ang salitang iyon ay nanlaki ang mga mata niya. Lance was still serious. “Bore me an heir, my dear wife. Can you give me that?”
