I thought that maybe this child would bring us closer again. Maybe it would remind Marco of the life we had built together and the promises we had made to each other. For a brief moment, I allowed myself to believe that things could change.
But only a few weeks later, my world collapsed.
I discovered the truth that Marco had been hiding from me—he was involved with another woman. The betrayal cut deep, but what hurt even more was learning that I wasn’t the only one who knew. His entire family had been aware of the situation for some time, and yet no one had said a single word to me.
I felt humiliated and heartbroken.
Soon after the truth came out, Marco’s family called for what they described as a “family meeting.” We gathered at their house in Quezon City. I remember sitting there nervously, hoping someone would defend me or at least acknowledge how wrong the situation was.
