Tóm tắt

Her first love's business venture crumbled, leaving his family in tatters. In a bid to clear his debts, she sold the home I had labored for countless nights to acquire, a sanctuary meant for our life together. The day I learned of my cancer, she flung Jack's depression report at me with a vengeance. "Jack is battling depression-do you grasp the gravity of that? It's just a house we're talking about, yet you act as if it's a death sentence. Your heart is ice; one day, karma will catch up with you." And it did, with merciless speed. I passed on, yet she clung to my urn with a ferocity that bordered on madness, as if she had lost all reason.

Chapter 1Chapter 1

"Tom, your wife is with Jack again. I'm watching them for you. You should get here quickly."

This was the message that flashed on my phone while I was at work.

Attached to the text was a photo of the two of them sitting close together.

In the picture, Emma's cheeks were flushed, giving her a shy, almost bashful look—something I hadn't seen from her in years.

I clenched my fists instinctively. After all these years of marriage, all I got from Emma were insults and coldness. Yet here she was, smiling like that for Jack, her first love.

I didn't bother asking for time off. I grabbed a cab and rushed to the location.

Standing outside the restaurant window, I felt my heart tearing apart.

"She must have been tricked by that bastard Jack," my friend muttered beside me.

Step by step, I made my way inside, heading straight for them. I couldn't hear anything, just a ringing in my ears.

I grabbed Jack by the collar and punched him in the face.

Though his head snapped to the side, his first reaction was to check on Emma.

"Tom, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Why are you acting crazy?"

I stared at her, searching for any sign of remorse. Instead, all I saw was fury.

"What are you looking at? Apologize to him, now."

The woman standing in front of me was entirely different from the one in the photo.

"Tom was just worried you'd been tricked by this guy," my friend tried to explain.

"Shut up! Who are you to speak to me like that?" Emma snapped, her voice sharp enough to cut.

Jack hid behind Emma, glaring at me with smug defiance. I stood there, powerless.

"If you don't apologize right now, we're getting a divorce tomorrow."

Same routine as always. Whenever something went wrong, she threatened divorce, knowing how much I loved her.

The atmosphere in the restaurant had grown tense, with people whispering and staring. Emma, ever concerned with appearances, must have noticed.

With a loud "slap," she struck me across the face.

"We're leaving," she spat, dragging Jack away without a second glance. As they passed me, Jack deliberately bumped into my shoulder before collapsing dramatically into a nearby chair.

"Tom, are you even a man? You're just like your mother—pathetic."

Jack smiled, false and condescending.

"Emma, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for asking you to come. I didn't mean to cause trouble for your marriage."

Emma gave me a disdainful look.

"What marriage? There's nothing between us. If it weren't for his tricks, I would've married you."

She had said before that marrying me was her biggest regret, but this time, she said it right in front of Jack.

To drive the knife deeper, she shot me a smug glance and kissed Jack on the cheek.

My blood boiled with anger.

The woman I had loved for so long was now trampling on my dignity.

After all these years together, she knew exactly how to hurt me most.

They walked past me, arm in arm, like I didn't even exist.

"You're still the same spineless coward," Jack said, his voice echoing in my head like a curse.

Kingdom of the Pearl of the Orient

In the waning years of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, a young boy named Alfonso XIII was proclaimed King of Spain in 1886. However, being just a child, his mother, Queen Maria Christina, ruled as regent in his place. Queen Maria Christina adopted a somewhat lenient policy, granting the Filipinos a degree of freedom while still keeping them as subjects of the Spanish monarchy. As time passed, the Philippines remained under Spanish rule until it was finally passed on to Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, in 1920. But Alfonso, wise beyond his years, saw the plight of the Filipino people and understood their deep desire for independence in their hearts. He made a momentous decision – renouncing his claim to the Spanish throne and requesting to govern the Philippines instead. Surprisingly, the Spanish monarch agreed to this arrangement, and Alfonso was given the unique responsibility of managing the Philippines as a separate entity. But unknown to everyone, the original Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, died due to drowning accident and was replaced by Miguel Reyes. In a world reminiscent of the early twentieth century but with a twist, Miguel Reyes, a brilliant scientist,engineer, military enthusiast, and businessman from the Philippines, found himself in a strange predicament. After a fatal car accident in 2023, Miguel was granted an extraordinary second chance at life. He awakened to find his soul inexplicably reincarnated into the body of a prince in a distant land. Confused and disoriented at first, Miguel soon discovered that he was inhabiting none other than the young Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, decades before his untimely death. Realizing the significance of this opportunity, Miguel knew he had to act wisely. He had lived a life devoted to knowledge and progress, and now he found himself in a pivotal position to change history for the better. Armed with the knowledge of Alfonso's fate and aware of the impending struggles faced by the Philippines, Miguel resolved to take a different path. Join Alfonso (Miguel Reyes) on a life-changing experience. Will Miguel Reyes find tranquility in his second life as he governs the nation and steers it towards greatness? Or will he face the shadow of a conspiracy lurking within the borders?
