 Chapter 1

    FLASHBACK

    Jewel immediately stood up as she noticed her husband stepping down the stairs well-dressed and in a hurry,

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± I ask as I got near him.

    ¡°Why are you asking where I¡¯m supposed to go? Mind your own business!¡± coldness

    and anger is there as he spoke those words.

    ¡°I just want to know what time you¡¯ll get home,¡± I responded.

    Without any second thought he came closer to me, hold my chin harassly. ¡°Want to know where huh? To other woman¡¯s bitch! And you don¡¯t need to know if what time I¡¯ll be back. Do you understand me woman?¡± and he released me.

    I can still feel how tight his grip is on my chin. I¡¯m hurt by what he does but I can do anything because I love him, dearly love him I stumbled near the sofa as my tears continued to stream down in my eyes

    ¡°What kind of drama is that? Oh please don¡¯t give me that shit!¡± He hissed

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you tired? Is this how you want us to live? When will you change?¡± I sobbed.

    His chin tightened because of what I¡¯ve said. He immediately approached me and quickly pulled me upright while holding my hair, ¡± You have no right to question me like that! You don¡¯t own me nor my life! I can do whatever I want to do.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re already married, Thunder!¡± I shouted in response that made him mad even more.

    ¡°SHUT UP YOU BITCH!¡± He shouted and pped me, ¡°What now if we¡¯re married huh? Nothing will ever change, I¡¯m still Thunder Alcantara and you are Jewel Mercyl Dawson- Alcantara my useless and desperate wife! We¡¯re just married by papers and you¡¯re caring my surname but not my heart, mind and soul! I will never ever love you!¡±N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    After he said that he let me go and quickly left the house.

    Jewel POV

    When I woke up I felt that my stomach was starving already, without a second thought I stood up and looked at the wall clock it¡¯s already 10 in the evening. It seems like I overslept.

    I looked outside to see if Thunder was home already and to my disappointment I found nothing, his car is not in the garage so that means that he¡¯s not home yet.

    I can¡¯t help but to think about him. Perhaps he¡¯s noting home and I know by now he was with another woman.

    My eyes started to get blurry again by just thinking of it, tears starting to flow again. Honestly, I don¡¯t know what I should do to him just to hear me out. I had done nothing from the mistakes that he keeps on ming me for. All I want is that he would listen to me.

    Yes, we¡¯re married, we¡¯re together, we¡¯re living under one roof but nothing more. He treats me like nothing and what¡¯s worse is we keep on arguing, which always leads him to hurt me emotionally and physically.

    Since we got married he never treated me right . All he did was loathe me and felt abhorrence towards me. He keeps himself drunk to get wasted and enjoy being with his woman.

    ¡°You¡¯ll regret marrying me¡± until now it¡¯s clear like a camera megapixel in my memory as he spoke those words. Nheless being together for years I never regret every second of it even though I was just a mere nothing to him but maybe because I just love him this much.

    I just went to the kitchen and prepared something to eat. I¡¯m sure he won¡¯te home so I¡¯ll be eating alone again. I took some rice from the rice cooker and put in the microwave the dish I cooked earlier to preheat it. I finish my food quickly. As I was soaking the dishes I heard the sound of a car. I immediately wipe my wet hands and walk towards the main door to open it for him.

    As soon as I opened the door, a beautiful and sexy woman was there assisting my drunk husband Thunder. I felt a sudden pain in my chest as I watched them together. It hurts seeing the one you love being held by someone, being hugged by someone and being together with someone and you witness it.

    ¡°Babe,e in or maybe you¡¯ll stay here just for tonight,¡± Thunder said.

    ¡°Oh my gosh babe, aren¡¯t you feeling tired? We¡¯ve done it the whole day and now you still want it here in your house? Hahahaha! But even though I want to be with you for too long, I can¡¯t because I need to go home¡± his woman responded as she clung to my husband.

    While me, standing here like a statue and watching my husband with someone else.

    ¡°Even though we¡¯ve been doing it the whole day I still want you, to be with you and taste you all over again.¡± Thunder whispered to his woman but I could still hear it clearly.

    I can¡¯t take it anymore, ¡± Miss? Maybe I should take care of him? ¡± I called out the woman¡¯s attention.

    As her eyes gazed upon me she raised her eyebrow right away ¡°Yes? You¡¯re saying what? Babe do you know her?¡± he asked Thunder, not minding my presence.

    ¡°Yes babe, she¡¯s my personal maid.¡± Thunder responded dryly.

    ¡°Oh I see, she¡¯s lucky to be your personal maid and I hope nothing beyond that because I know you too well babe. ¡± she replied.

    There was this urge inside me wanting to tell this woman that I was Thunder¡¯s wife but I tried not to because I knew it would make Thunder mad.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it babe. Be careful on your way home, I love you¡± Thunders sweetly responded and put his arm around her.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll see you again next time babe. Thank you for this day, I really enjoyed it. I love you too.¡± she replied and gave my husband a kiss on the lips.

    I saw Thunder how he responded to the kiss before his woman bid goodbye. My chest tightened on what I saw, I felt like a thousand stabs in my heart. Why do they have to do it in front of me? It¡¯s way more painful than being introduced as his personal maid.

    I approach him and help him to get inside the house but he shoves my hands away.¡± Let me help you Thunder.¡± I tried to hold him again but he pushed me.

    ¡°Why did youe home thiste? And you drink too much.¡± I said calmly.

    ¡°Why do you care? I enjoyed spending my time with her. Can you stop minding someone¡¯s business and don¡¯t you dare touch me!¡± he replied coldly and walked past me.

    I followed him ¡°I care Thunder, because I¡¯m your wife! Is this how a married man is supposed to being home?¡± I don¡¯t know where I got the courage to speak to him like this.

    He stopped and stared at me coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t act like a good-fine wife, it doesn¡¯t suit you.¡± Then he went up the stairs.

    I was left again with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart. It hurts knowing that my husband is happy with someone else and I can¡¯t be that someone. Never be.

    I did everything for him to love me but I think it¡¯s still not enough. I dried my tears and went up to my room as I¡¯m about to enter my room I found myself looking at the halfway open door of Thunders room. Since then we never slept together. I walked towards his room and found him sleeping peacefully. I came near him and sat beside him and carefully stroked those hair trying to cover his handsome face. ¡°Maybe everyone thinks that I am this stupid and martyr enough for staying even if all you did was hurting me emotionally and physically but I don¡¯t mind it at all, its fine with me I can take it, I can endure all the pain because I love you and I¡¯m still hoping that one day you¡¯ll love me back the way how I love you and you¡¯ll change as a loving husband. I¡¯m willing to wait for that day toe but for now I¡¯ll just ept all the pain Thunder but please don¡¯t leave me cause that¡¯s the only thing I can¡¯t bear to take.¡± My tears flowed like a waterfall as I spoke those words into him even if he couldn¡¯t hear me.

    I wipe my tears and give him a soft kiss on his cheeks before leaving his room. I love you Thunder and I am always well even though it¡¯s tearing me apart.

 Chapter 2

    The next morning Jewel woke upte because she was not able to sleep right away after she left her husband¡¯s room.

    As she gets off in bed Jewel directly straight off to her husband¡¯s room. She was about to go through her husband¡¯s room when suddenly she heard a strange noise inside it. The noise is getting clearer as she draws near the room.

    ¡°T-thunder! Ahh Ahh, Fuck baby, Yeah that¡¯s it! Fuck me harder. Oh shit..¡± the woman imed loudly.

    ¡°Oh scream my name bitch! Cum with me.¡±

    Her heart was tearing apart gazillion times watching her husband making out with someone.

    A few minutester she heard approaching footsteps indicating that they were done doing their thing inside. She swiftly walked back to her room and pretended that she didn¡¯t know what was going on and she just woke up from bed.

    The woman just looked at her and clung even more to her husband¡¯s arm who seemed didn¡¯t care if she was there.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.

    ¡°Who is she, baby?¡± the woman asked Thunder.

    ¡°Don¡¯t mind her, she¡¯s just a maid,¡± Thunder replied.

    ¡°Oh I see¡± the woman mockingly said.

    ¡°What are you looking at? Get out, you¡¯re blocking my way!¡± she yelled and shoved her off.

    She just steps back and stops herself toin for the sake that Thunder might get mad. They continue their way out as if she wasn¡¯t there. Instead of following then she just went back inside her room andy down on her bed.

    She looked around her room and noticed the picture of her and Thunder on their wedding day. The picture shows that she¡¯s very happy while her husband is emotionless.

    She got teary-eyed as she thought about Thunder and his woman a while ago.

    ¡°Even if it¡¯s breaking me apart, Thunder I won¡¯t give up. I¡¯ll continue and endure everything because I love you¡± she muttered.

    She still believes that they can have their own happy ending like those love stories. As much as she could fight for their love she will fight. She loves Thunder so much that she will do everything for him to love her back. Later on she felt starved, she remembered that she hadn¡¯t eaten since she woke up this morning but she remembered Thunder and his woman were still there.

    She stayed and waited a few minutes before deciding to get up and leave her room and go downstairs. She roamed around and found no one, it looks like they already left. She just went straight to the kitchen to cook and prepared food for her to eat. After she finished her food she decided to clean the whole house. It¡¯s already afternoon when she finished cleaning and cooking food for dinner but still her husband is not home yet. She sat on the sofa because she felt so tired. She turns on the TV and watches some movie series. It waste at night but still Thunder didn¡¯te home, so instead of waiting for him she just eat her dinner.

    Later on she heard the sound of a car, a sign that her husband is already home. She hurried to the door and opened it. As soon as she opened the door, the face of her husband appeared totally red and totally limp, obviously he was drunk again.

    She immediately approached and held him for support but he just pushed her away ¡°What did I tell you? Don¡¯t ever touch me!¡± Thunder shouted to her.

    She ignored it and approached his husband again , she¡¯s about to touch him when he shouted at her again ¡°Damn it Jewel! Don¡¯t you understand what I¡¯m saying? Are you that stupid enough?¡± his voice roared like Thunder inside the house.

    She has no choice but to let him because if she insists it might be the reason for them to fight and probably she¡¯ll get hurt. She waited a few minutes before going upstairs, she went to her husband¡¯s room to check if he was already asleep. She entered the room not making any noise and found her husband sleeping soundly. She drew near him and removed the shoes and covered him with a nket. She just stared at her husband¡¯s handsome face, she could only do it when Thunder was already asleep because when he¡¯s awake he¡¯s like a tiger that would devour her.

    She caressed his face, ¡°I¡¯m still hoping Thunder, I love you so much and I¡¯ll do everything for you¡± she whispered.

    She¡¯s still wondering what next might happen to their marriage life. She¡¯s clueless in every possible oue if she could be happy or in pain or achieve what she desires.

    ¡°I hope the dayes that you¡¯ll love me. I¡¯ll wait for that day and when that dayes I will be probably the happiest woman¡±

    Not even once she thought on stepping aside and leaving her husband even if everyone thinks of her like a fool or stupid she didn¡¯t care. She just loves her husband so much and she believes that being hurt is part of love. As much as she can still hope, even if it¡¯s painful and tiring she will

    take a risk.

    She left the room and moved into her room. Shey down and stared at the ceiling unexpectedly. She remembered their first conversations the night after their wedding. They were at the hotel that night, as soon as they entered the room Thunder immediately overtook her arms harshly.

    ¡°Ouch! Thunder hurts!¡± she eximed in pain.

    ¡°Now what? Are you happy? Jewel, are you happy ruining my life?¡± He shouted in anger.

    ¡°I don¡¯t understand. What are you talking about? I really don¡¯t understand.¡± confusion is all over

    her face as he responds.

    ¡°Don¡¯t act like you don¡¯t know anything! I know you know what I¡¯m referring to too!¡± he blurred out.

    Anger and hatred lingered in Thunders face that he almost hurt her and it made her screech in

    fear watching him.

    ¡°Thunder, I thought you understood. This is what our parents agreed for.¡± she exhorted.

    He suddenly threw the chair near him. ¡°Don¡¯t make me fool Jewel! I know you like it too, You can¡¯t fool me. You can refuse the wedding but you choose not to!¡± he shouted in frustration.

    ¡°I won¡¯t give disgrace and embarrassment to my family Thunder! I can¡¯t take seeing them disappointed in me. Why didn¡¯t you do it, you can refuse and note to the wedding!¡± she answered.

    ¡°For what? For me to take all the me? Wow you¡¯re such a great Jewel! ¡± He sarcastically said.

    ¡°What do you want me to say Thunder? It¡¯s done, it happened already and we can¡¯t do anything about it.¡± she said calmly.

    ¡°You really want this marriage thing, that¡¯s the truth Jewel admits it! Do you think I didn¡¯t know that you like me? That¡¯s why you agreed to this quickly as soon as they told you that you¡¯ll be marrying me. ¡±

    She bent down her head so that she can¡¯t see Thunders face that is already burning in anger. Now she knew that Thunder already knew what she felt about him.

    ¡°Don¡¯t expect too much that I will love you back Jewel, stop daydreaming, stop that

    foolishness. Yes, you have myst name but never my love and heart, put that in your small mind. ¡± He said before leaving her in their hotel suit.

    It was the day that he put all the me on me. Yes, I wanted to get married to him so when our parents agreed about it I didn¡¯t refuse.

    She released a deep sigh as he remembered all of it. Here she is suffering but if it¡¯s for the person she loves , she can take it all because she knows that all her sacrifices will be paid

    someday.

    Drowsiness visited her as soon as she closed her eyes.

 Chapter 3

    Thunder was in his office that was owned by his parents, after he got married to Jewel he inherited his fatherspany.

    He felt irritated and bored sitting there and he couldn¡¯t think of anything to work on too, their board meeting was over and he had already signed those papers given by his secretary. He thinks it¡¯s too early to go to the bar at this moment. And it¡¯s easy to find a woman whenever he wants, a woman that is easy to get warm in bed and easy to get dumped after. Almost all of his women he got in bed with are the one showing some interest and motive that they want to be taken by him.

    He also thinks that he would rather go to the bar or be with his woman than going home early. He doesn¡¯t want his day to be totally ruined seeing Jewels face. He couldn¡¯t stop but to get angry knowing that because of her he¡¯s tied up to a marriage he never dreamed of. He also thinks that Jewel nned all of it because she has feelings towards him. If this is what Jewel wants then she will never seed.

    Thunder stood up on his chair and walked near the window ss of the office where he could see everything, thosergepany buildings, restaurants, cafes, pedestrians where people are busy walking through, and etc. He was busy looking everywhere when his phone rang he immediately took it out in his pocket¡­

    CAIN CALLING¡­..

    ¡°What do you want, Fuentabi?¡± I said as I answered the call.

    ¡°So sweet of you dude, I just called you. You should be happy with that.¡± He heard himugh over the phone.

    ¡°Asshole! Tsk! You¡¯re wasting my time. If there¡¯s nothing you called for I would rather end this call.¡± I said in an irritated voice

    ¡°Okay, Okay chill dude. You¡¯re so hot tempered, anyway, Dark invites us over. It looks like he has a love problem.¡±

    ¡°Until when he will act like a fool with that Calliyah woman? She¡¯s not even here in the Philippines but he¡¯s still head over heel with that woman.¡± I responded.

    ¡°He loved her, even though Calliyah is far he stays loyal to her.¡±

    ¡°Stupidity! Whatever you say, see you there¡± and I hung up the call.

    I can¡¯t understand Dark¡¯s why he is head over heels for Jewels friend, there are so many women out there trying to win him but still he¡¯s forcing himself towards that woman. He¡¯s to stupid, tsk!

    I¡¯m sleepy, I walk back to the sofa andy down, I¡¯m feeling drowsy maybe because I haven¡¯t had enough sleep since yesterday. That woman I was with yesterday seems that the word tired is not part of her vocabry. She¡¯s wild in bed at the same time she¡¯s fucking good in sucking my length. I was about to close my eyes when I heard the doors open. Shit, who¡¯s this fucking shit trying to disturbed me. As I looked up I saw my secretary¡¯s face. I roamed my eyes over her body, she¡¯s wearing a tight mini-skirt paired with a sexy dress and coat but still her cleavage is more entuated.

    ¡°What do you want?¡± I asked.

    She smiled at me seductively and came near me and massaged my shoulder, ¡°You look tired Sir, I was thinking that maybe you are bored, do you want me to please you sir?¡± She said and bit my earlobe.

    I was starting to get seduced. Who am I to say no, I¡¯m just a man. I posthaste kiss her. I¡¯m getting more aroused by the fact that she responds to the intensity of my kiss. She¡¯s also wild like the other girls I bed.

    Meanwhile Jewels just arrived and took the taxi in front of thepany building. She was there in thepany to invite her husband to eat his favorite food she just prepared. She knew that Thunder hadn¡¯t eaten yet because their board meeting was held so early, so she thought of cooking, preparing and bringing it to his office.

    As soon as she entered thepany many employees greeted her kindly. She greeted them and smiled in response. She is used to this kind of treatment by the employees whenever she¡¯s in thepany. She has many apanying employees while taking the public elevator toward her husband¡¯s office. Happiness and excitement is written all over her face despite doubting that maybe her husband wouldn¡¯t eat the food she prepared.

    The elevator rings a sign that he has already reached the office floor of her husband. She walks through the secretary¡¯s office and nobody¡¯s there, maybe she¡¯s taking her break time.

    I know his secretary is modest and kind, not the same as those bitch Thunder used to have. Without any doubt she continued walking to her husband¡¯s office.

    ¡°Oh ohh, Suck it! Make it fast! You¡¯re fucking good. Aahh. Oh. ohh. Fuck!¡± she knows it¡¯s her husband¡¯s voice inside the office.

    ¡°I know that I am always a good babe. So fucking good. Deeper babe! deeper!¡± she feels like losing her bnce of disbelief , like something cold water hit hard on her face knowing who¡¯s inside the office.

    Maybe she was this masochist to herself instead of living them both. She slowly opened the office door that exposed her husband lying while his secretary was riding him like a well known porn star and you can see through her expression that she¡¯s enjoying it while her husband is busy massaging its pinkish round big boobs. Tears started to shed in her eyes as to how painful the sight she witnessed at the moment but still she avoided doing some unnecessary action. She wanted to pull the secretary¡¯s hair, wanted her to taste her anger but something was stopping her from doing it. She couldn¡¯t do it because of Thunder, she¡¯s scared that her husband would be mad and might hurt her as well.

    Her tears flowed non-stop on her face before she could make a noise, she turned her back leaving them both reaching their own climax.

    She immediately ran to the elevator and pressed it and when it opened she was stopped by entering as if she remembered something.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.

    ¡°I won¡¯t leave and let that flirty bitch secretary alone, she needs to learn a lesson¡± she said to herself

    She hurried back to her husband¡¯s office and mmed the door open. The two of them were stunned that someone caught them. The secretary¡¯s face was shocked and at the same time felt ashamed knowing she¡¯s the one who caught them in such a way but she remained emotionless

    looking at them.

    When the secretary recovered from the shock she quickly left Thundersp and picked her dress up and put it on. She¡¯s about to leave when Jewel suddenly pulls her hair, ¡°You shameless bitch! How udylike of you to flirt with your married boss! You whore!¡± she¡¯s shaking in anger

    as she continues pulling the secretary¡¯s hair.

    Thunder quickly approached them and defined his secretary ¡°Stop it Jewel! Don¡¯t make a scene!¡± but it seems that Jewel doesn¡¯t hear him.

    She even continued pulling the hair of the secretary even harder. She¡¯s in the top range of her anger.

    ¡°You¡¯re slut and a total whore! You¡¯re here to work not to be a bed warmer nor a sex ve of my husband! You bitch! I¡¯m gonna kill you!¡±Thunder violently took her away and let her secretary go. The secretary almost grumbled in a hurry to leave the office.

    When there were the only two of them left, all of a sudden Thunder pushed Jewel that made her mmed on the sofa, ¡± What do you think you¡¯re doing, huh? Making a scene here in my office?¡±

    He furiously shouted.

    ¡°So I¡¯m the one who¡¯s making a scene here? Don¡¯t you feel ashamed ? Even here in your office you are doing your dirty shits and even to your secretary! No , you¡¯re the one making a scene here.¡± He instantly gains on her and holds his wife¡¯s jaw.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare talk to me like that! Don¡¯t try my patience or else you¡¯ll see¡± He emphasized everything he said.

    Jewel can¡¯t stop but tough, not minding that tightness on Thunder¡¯s hold on her jaw. ¡°What are you going to do now Thunder? You¡¯ll hurt me? Then do it! And let everyone know how beast you are,

    that the boss there looking up to is heartless when ites to his wife.¡± Jewel dumbfounded on where she got those courage to speak back.

    Thunder let go of her right away and tried to calm himself. He doesn¡¯t want to make a scene and let his employees know about it. He is trying to avoid such an event that would bring embarrassment to him.

    Jewel stood up and fixed her clothes and left the office to escape further happenings knowing that she talked back to her husband. She took a taxi straight away, as she got in her tears that she¡¯s been holding back giving up. She cried and cried that even the driver felt sorry for her.

    ¡°I don¡¯t understand him. Does he really want me to suffer? Is this how he loathed me that much? Why does he need to hurt me? Isn¡¯t it enough for him to see me suffer everyday? Isn¡¯t it enough that he hurt me physically? I¡¯m here always for him but why did he choose to bed another

    woman. We never slept together but he treated me like I was the most disgusting woman he met. ¡± She thought of it full of resentment.

    ¡°Miss, where should I take you?¡± the driver asked.

    ¡°In the Light Bar.¡± I responded.

    She thinks that maybe she should go to the bar and she needs a drink to forget what had happened a while ago.

 Chapter 4

    Her eyes are swollen and red like a tomato as she arrives the Light Bar. It¡¯s kinda early that¡¯s why she enters the their only few people are there. She sat on the vacant counter bar and ordered a tequ and started to drink while reminiscing about what she witnessed in her husband¡¯ office. As she remember it clearly she started to cry.

    If she could only ease and forget the pain she¡¯s feeling right now. If it has medicine to cure the heartaches she¡¯s suffering now she would dly take it. She felt so much pain that it¡¯s unbearable. She wants to erase in her mind what she saw but she can¡¯t. It¡¯s like a song that¡¯s continuing to y and y. She felt hopeless.

    Seeing your husband with someone else is so painful and much more painful if you witness with your own two eyes that your husband is making out with someone else. Yes, her husband always sleeps with different girls and she knows it but this is the first that she witnessed it personally. It¡¯s tearing her apart. She wants to shout loud to release the pain inside her heart.

    She is starting to question herself and her worth as a woman and as a wife. Is she really that not worthy? What else does she need to do to ease the pain she¡¯s feeling right now? She doesn¡¯t want to leave Thunder that instant, she loves her with everything she has. Even other people would say that she¡¯s stupid and martyr she won¡¯t mind it. She just loves her husband so much that she would take a risk and still choose to stay beside him even if she¡¯s in unbearable pain.

    ¡°One tequ, please,¡± she tipsy said to the waiter

    ¡°Are you sure you want another shot Ma¡¯am? You drink too much and I think you¡¯re already drunk.¡± the waiter ask

    She just rolled her eyes. ¡°Why do you care anyway? I can do whatever I want, I¡¯m a customer here so you need to follow what my order is! Just give me another 1 ss!¡± she shouted

    The waiter just shut his mouth and didn¡¯t say anything. He just nodded his head and started to get another ss of tequ. He doesn¡¯t want to argue with the girl anymore.

    After Jewel drank thest shot of tequ she ordered, she looked at her watch and she was shocked when it¡¯s already 10:00pm. That¡¯s why she noticed that there are so many people entering this bar and that it¡¯s started to be crowded already.

    She notice that the people in this bar started to get wild already, there are people busy dancing like a wild animals in the crowd, there are people who¡¯s making out, there are group of friends that she thinks are chillin, there are couples and single and most of all there are girls like a whore who¡¯s waiting for a victim or a customer.

    She felt a little bit tipsy already, that¡¯s why she decided to stand up and make her way home. She knows that she is already drunk but she can handle herself.

    When she¡¯s already outside the bar when she identally bumped into a guy. She notices that the guy is already drunk also. She just says sorry and continues to walk when the guy stops it.

    ¡°Yes? What do you want?¡± she ask irritated

    The guy just smiled like an idiot. ¡°Miss, you want me to apany you?¡±

    ¡°Excuse me? Who told you that I need one? I¡¯m not interested in anyone so let me go!¡± she shouted

    ¡°What a brave woman! I really like girls like you, so interesting and I think you¡¯re also wild in bed.¡± he smirked

    She wants to p the guy but she chooses to push him and starts to walk again but the guy immediately grabs her arm. ¡°Damn it! Asshole, stop pestering me! I¡¯m not interested in what you are saying so please leave me alone!¡± she said in an angry voice. She is losing her patience already

    But the guy justughs at her, which makes her more pissed.

    ¡°Hard to get, aren¡¯t we? I know you want it also, don¡¯t worry I¡¯m good in bed and I¡¯ll make you scream in pleasure.¡± she seriously said while wearing his devilish smile

    She immediately pped the guy because of the anger she is feeling right now. ¡°Pervert!¡±

    And with that the guy got pissed with what Jewel did to him.

    Jewel just closed her eyes when she noticed that the guy would p her, but a couple of seconds had passed but she didn¡¯t feel any pain in her face. She suddenly opened her eyes to see what had happened.

    She saw the guy lying down in pain. She immediately turns her gaze to the person right next to the guy that she thinks is the reason why the guy is in pain.

    She almost got painted when she already saw who¡¯s behind this. She suddenly felt fear in her whole body when she saw how cold the stare of Thunder was. She clearly sees the eyes of her husband like a fire ready to attack her anytime and all I can see is pure coldness and anger written on his beautiful face.

    Thunder quickly grabs her arms and he almost pushes her inside the car.

    The face of Jewel bes pale, she can¡¯t believe that all of the many people in this ce would think that her husband is the one who can see her in that state.

    When they arrive at their house, Thunder gets out of the car as fast as he can and grabs her immediately.

    ¡°What are you doing in that ce, huh?¡± He shouted.

    Jewel can¡¯t find the exact answer to what her husband is asking. She knows that the wrong answer would bring her in chaos. She¡¯s nervous indeed because of the anger lingering on her husband¡¯s face.

    ¡°Why are you not answering my question woman? Don¡¯t make me repeat it again! I am asking you!¡± he shouted in so much anger.

    ¡°Ahhhhh..! ¡± Jewel shouted in pain when Thunder p her

    She almost felt the palm of her husband in her face. It really hurts! The p of Thunder is forceful

    But Thunder is not content with what he did so he steps forward to his wife and pulls her hair to face him.

    ¡°Ahhh! Ouch! It hurts! T-Thunder stop it.¡± she shouted.

    ¡°I will definitely hurt you bitch if you¡¯re still gonna ignore my question! Tell me, did you flirt to other man in that ce, huh?¡± he said, emphasizing every word.

    ¡°No, Thunder! You¡¯re wrong! I¡¯m alone there, I didn¡¯t apany anyone. Please, believe me.¡± she said pleading

    ¡°And do you think I would believe in you? I¡¯m not an idiot Jewel! So don¡¯t ever dare to lie on me!¡± he shouted in my face

    Again Jewel shouted in pain as Thunder pped her again. She thinks her face feels numb from what her husband did.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    Even if she is shivering in fear she manages to stand up and face her husband¡¯s indignation. ¡°I¡¯m telling that truth, Thunder.¡± she said while holding her husband¡¯s arm.

    But Thunder remains silent, after a second he suddenly pushes Jewel in a powerful way.

    Thunder quickly came closer to her then held her chin harassly.¡±I¡¯m telling you Jewel, don¡¯t ever test my patience!¡±

    With her whole strength she pushes her husband cause she feels that her chin is starting to ache.

    Jewel started to cry, in her entire life she didn¡¯t experience this kind of life. Her parents love her so much, they never hurt her nor treated her like this. She¡¯s like a princess in their home. So it really hurts to know that she¡¯s now experiencing this kind of treatment at the hand of her own husband.

    His stare be more dark and coldly. She immediately overtook my arms harshly. ¡± Remember this Jewel and put it in your small mind! If I caught you with other man I will kill the two of you especially you! You choose this life so bear with it! Don¡¯t do stupid things that may lead my family in disgrace! Don¡¯t ever dare to put my surname in shame! You understand?.¡± he said then left me

    She almost forgot how to breathe because of what Thunder told her. Even if her whole body hurts she manages to stand straight and ascend. When she entered her room she immediately went straight to thefort room then stepped in the facade of the mirror. She traces her hands to her face, she can clearly see the wounds and scratch on it. And she also feels that there¡¯s a fracture between her shoulder and back.

    She smiled, a fake one while her tears flowing in her beautiful eyes. ¡°I can¡¯t see the old version of me now, I can¡¯t see the happy Jewel I used to be. All I can see now is the miserable and hopeless Jewel, full of pain and heartaches. ¨C she though

    But even if Thunder did these things to her, she will not leave her husband. Even if everyone will say that she is really stupid she will not mind it. She believes that pain and being hurt is part of what we call love. She loves Thunder so much and she will stay beside him no matter what happen

    You¡¯re really stupid woman! Yes, you¡¯re right. Pain and heartaches are part of love but not what your husband is doing to you, hurting you physically.- her inner me burst out

    She fixed herself before going to bed.

 Chapter 5

    The next day she woke up upon the sun rays and kissed her bare face through her window. She rubs her eyes and gets up from bed, she can feel the swelling of her chin and does not choose to mind it.

    She hastened to see if her husband was awake, she knocked several times but no one responded. She slowly opened the door and found no one. The masculine scent perfume of her husband filled her nose the moment she¡¯s inside the room. She meandered the room to make sure her husband was nowhere and all she could see was the messed up bed and those bottles of empty alcohol.

    She cleaned the room and fixed the messy bed by recing a new pillow, bed sheets and nket. After she¡¯s done cleaning everything she leaves the room, goes downstairs and cooks food for breakfast. She¡¯s busy cutting her afritada ingredients when suddenly her phone rang. She promptly answered the call when she saw it was her best friend calling.

    ¡°Calli!¡± I yawp.

    I heard herugh over the phone, ¡± Hey, Mercyl miss me?¡± Calli responded.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    ¡°So damn much best! How¡¯s your life?¡± I asked.

    ¡°I think I am the one who needs to ask that question to you, how¡¯s your life Mercyl?¡± I¡¯m voiceless for a few seconds after hearing her question.

    ¡°Of course, I-I¡¯m fine¡± I replied.

    ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me. I know and I feel that you¡¯re not telling me the truth! You¡¯re not okay am I right?¡± She asked me worriedly.

    Her eyes begin to get teary as what her best friend asks. She wanted to tell her everything but she preferred not to.

    ¡°Okay I get it, You don¡¯t want to say it but always remember I¡¯m here for you, whenever you need someone to listen and if you¡¯re ready to speak up about it I¡¯m always here for you. And I forgot to tell you , I¡¯m already here in the Philippines so see you¡±

    They natter a bit longer before they hang up on each other.

    She just finished her food and did the dishes when she heard the main door open. She went out of the kitchen and saw if it was her husband.

    She smiled at him as soon as she saw him but her smile disappeared right away when she saw him with a woman again. She feels ashamed while looking at her posture like a mess while the

    The woman looks so sexy , beautiful and well dressed.

    ¡°Until when you¡¯ll be blocking our way?¡± the woman asked. She steps back to give them a way. Her husband doesn¡¯t care about her because he¡¯s busy flirting with the woman.

    But for a moment the woman stopped and turned to look over at her, ¡°Are you his maid? Can you get me some water? I feel thirsty,¡± the woman requested in a bitchy way.

    She didn¡¯t protest and just obeyed the woman¡¯s order when she noticed her husband was staring at her. She quickly took some water from the kitchen and poured it on the ss. As she¡¯s about to give the ss of water she¡¯s stopped by the view of her husband and the woman in the living room kissing torridly as if they¡¯re the only people at that moment.

    I prevent myself from crying. I don¡¯t want to look weak in front of them. She dash towards them to give the ss of water but unexpectedly she stumbles up and identally throws the water off to the woman¡¯s dress.

    ¡°What the hell!¡± the woman shrieked out.

    ¡°I¡¯m so-sorry , I don¡¯t intend to.¡± I replied.

    ¡°Look what you¡¯ve done to my dress! You bitch.¡± the woman said infuriatingly.

    ¡°I said I¡¯m sorry, okay? It was an ident, I didn¡¯t know that it would happen.¡± I justify.

    The woman¡¯s eyes widened because of what she heard, ¡°You¡¯re just a maid , aren¡¯t you? How could you speak English fluently?¡± shock is visible in her face.

    ¡± Who said that I¡¯m a maid? For your information I¡¯m his wife.¡± I point out.

    Sheughs sarcastically at what I¡¯ve said. ¡°Stop making meugh, you aren¡¯t the type of woman that Thunder Alcantara likes to, keep dreaming bitch.¡± She mockingly said.

    ¡°And stop saying nonsense slut.¡± I was exhorted.

    ¡°How dare you!¡± and pped me.

    Anger fills up her whole being that leads her to pull the woman¡¯s hair. But she loses on pulling the woman¡¯s hair when a strong pressure jolts her away.

    ¡°How dare you hurt her? You useless shit! ¡± Thunder shouted while pointing finger at me.

    ¡± So , is it my fault? The flirty bitch did it first.¡± I vociferate.

    My world spun when I received a p from him. ¡°Don¡¯t you ever shout in front of my woman! You might forget you¡¯re in my house.¡± he said

    She sat down while holding her swollen red cheeks. Why do I need to feel this pain? Am I not enough? I did everything for him but why can¡¯t he love me back? What more should I do for him to see my worth? She wanted to shriek just to release the anguish she¡¯s feeling at the moment. On the other hand her husband is enjoying his desire and lust for his woman while she¡¯s in deep pain. She stood up and walked upstairs and went to her room not to care to look out for her husband.

    She doesn¡¯t want to hear their moans and pleasure while they¡¯re making those hrious things.

    While she¡¯s sitting on her bed her phone rang and a message popped uping from her best friend.¡± Hey, Mercyl meet me at the Starbucks¡°

    After reading the message she instantly took a quick bath and dressed up to meet her friend. At first she hesitated whether to tell her husband or not but at the end she left without telling her husband.

    She took her car and drove off to her friend. When she arrived at the Starbucks, she parked her car first before going inside where her friend was surely waiting for her.

    As she steps inside the smiling face of her best friend while waving at her is the first thing she saw. They hug each other as soon as they nudge.

 Chapter 6

    @Cafe

    ¡°It¡¯s not that too obvious that you did really miss me.¡± her friend Calliyah jokingly said.

    ¡°Cause you¡¯re out of the country for too long¡± she responded.

    ¡°Hey, what¡¯s with that silence?¡± she asks when she notices her best friend looked at her seriously.

    Calliyah just intently looked at her as if she was being examined. Her friend even held her face but she managed to avoid it, ¡°Hey what¡¯s with you? Having jetg?¡± she joked around.

    But Calliyah looked at her even seriously, ¡°Are you sure that you are okay Jewel? Look at you now, you look different.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean different ?¡± she asked.

    ¡°Look into a mirror and see what I meant. Seriously? What are you doing to yourself? You¡¯re not the Jewel I suppose to know. You look like trash. ¡± her friend told her candidly.

    She stops what her friend bluntly told her because she knows that her friend has a point. She disregards paying attention to herself and now she looks messy.

    ¡°I¡¯m so busy that I forgot to groom myself, ¡± I said in a feeble voice.

    ¡°Busy? Busy on what? Taking care of your insensitive husband? Don¡¯t make meugh the best. Give yourself a pity. You¡¯re better than this.¡± she positively says.

    ¡°Look who¡¯s talking, why? Are you and Dark on good terms?¡±

    She just gives me sullen eyes, ¡°What about him? You and your husband are the topic here, not him. Duh!¡±

    She just nodded her head and didn¡¯t speak up. They order their food to eat and while eating they talk about a lot of things that obviously show that they really missed each other. After they finished their food her friend invited her to wander around shopping but before that her friend brought her to a salon for a makeover. It took hours for them to bond together without noticing that it¡¯s getting dark as they got out of the mall.

    On the way home Calliyah drove her off. ¡°Thank you best! I enjoy this day. Take care.¡± she said as she came out in the car.

    Her friend just smiles and gives her a sign to drive off.

    She hurried as she got home thinking that her husband might be hungry. She didn¡¯t bother to change her clothes. She directly rushed off to the kitchen and started cooking.

    A bet longer she heard the door open indicates that her husband ising in. She faced him with a smile, ¡°Thunder, I cooked your food.¡± she said.

    Her husband ignored her approach and ate. Even though her husband gave her a cold treatment she¡¯s still happy because it¡¯s rare for her to see her husband eat the food she prepared. And she was more than happy watching her husband enjoying the food.

    She waited for him to finish and clean it after. When she was done she noticed that her husband was still there, sitting and looking at her intently that made her feel embarrassed.

    ¡°What time did youe home?¡± her husband asked.

    ¡°It was 6:00 pm.¡± she replied.

    Her husband nodded. ¡°Where did you go?¡±

    ¡°In the mall, I told you I met up with Calliyah.¡± She noticed that her husband¡¯s expression darkened.

    ¡°Don¡¯t make me a fool Jewel, Howe Calliyah is with you? I know she¡¯s out of the country. Don¡¯t use your friend¡¯s name if you¡¯re just meeting up with your affair!¡± he surmised.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.

    She was confused about what her husband was talking about, ¡°W-what are you talking about?¡¯

    Her husband stood up and came closer to her, ¡°Don¡¯t deny it! I told you Jewel don¡¯t ever let me catch you and your affair. ¡±

    ¡°I told you I¡¯m with Calliyah, She¡¯s already here in the Philippines. If you want proof then call her to stop your usation.¡± she replied in annoyance.

    She really couldn¡¯t understand him. Those usations that she doesn¡¯t even know. He¡¯s being paranoid about the things he usually does.

    ¡°And why are you dressed like that? You left here without putting anything and now you came home like that? Tell me where did you really go?¡± as he holds my arms tightly.

    She plunges Thunder¡¯s hand that holds her arms firmly avoiding any bruises again. ¡°Seriously Thunder? Could you give me a break in that malicious thing you are thinking.¡±

    ¡°Just ept the fact that you are meeting with your affair! And what other thing do you both do? Did you two do it?¡± Her forehead frowned. She wants to bawl at him because of her frustration,

    ¡°What are you talking about? Do what?¡± she asked.

    A smile forms in her husband¡¯s lips while slowly walking closely to her. ¡°Sex! Sex Jewel, Is that how it affects to you? Let me ask you this. Since we were married one year ago and we didn¡¯t

    do it. Do you want to try it with me?¡± without any hesitation she pped Thunder face as she felt like her whole system shaver in exasperation.

    ¡°What do you think of me? A slut, a bed warmer like those women you always brought? I¡¯m your wife!¡± I vociferously said.

    ¡°You are the one who says that you are my wife. So I can do it with you anytime I want. After all is it your obligation to satisfied me as your husband and that¡¯s includes sex!¡± He said.

    Her husband even got closer to her as he said those words. She can already feel the warm breath of her husband in her neck. Her reflections instantly shove her husband off the reason that she can¡¯t take the sensation she felt, ¡°Stop! What you¡¯re doing! I¡¯ll go upstairs and sleep.¡± she said.

    Even though it was a year ago that they were married they never did that thing.

    But before she could turn around Thunder grabbed her arms harassly. She can now clearly see the angriness in Thunder¡¯s face, ¡°Why? Are you tired? Tired because your affair pleasured you? How many rounds do you both do? I¡¯m much better than him. We can do it now in here¡± as his hand

    tighten in her arms

    She felt scared. She didn¡¯t know what to do because of the nervousness she felt about what her husband was talking about. If they were just in another situation where they are both in love it

    would be the happiest thing to happen to her but no it¡¯s not the case she doesn¡¯t want to do it right now where her husband is in deep anger.

    ¡°Just sleep Thunder, I know you are tired¡± I calmly said

    It seems Thunder doesn¡¯t hear anything as he aggressively kisses her lips. She can feel the pain on her lips as her husband continues kissing her. He didn¡¯t respond instead she pushed him hard but Thunder is stronger than her. She can already taste the blood of her lips and with all of her strength she pushed him hard again and she sessfully made it. She immediately ran upstairs, went to her room and locked it.

    As she slumped down in her bed her tears flowed out. On what had just happened she realized that her husband never respected her and treasured her as his wife. She felt like he treated her like those bed warmers he always has. She felt molested. It hurt her a lot but she can¡¯t do anything about it.

 Chapter 7

    Thunder POV

    ¡°As what I¡¯ve told you , You¡¯ll regret marrying me Jewel¡± I whisper while looking at her going

    upstairs.

    At first I thought she would give in to my sudden action but to my surprise she didn¡¯t respond to

    my kiss and what made me even more surprised was that she pushed me away. If she was the

    same to those women I¡¯m always with, maybe she wouldn¡¯t have refused.

    He never felt any regrets about what he did to her wife. All he had in mind since they got married was he

    would make her life miserable. He already did everything to her, he hurt her physically and

    emotionally with those unnecessary words just for her to give up and leave him but instead of

    leaving him she is even more determined to stay.

    A little while he heard the doorbell ring he¡¯s marveled on who¡¯s outside at this hour. He went to

    the door and opened it.

    As soon as he opened the door, he¡¯s parents appeared in front of him. He quickly kissed them

    both in the cheeks. ¡°Mom, Dad! What are you doing here? Why didn¡¯t you call? Come in.¡± nervousness was visible in his face, good thing they came a minutete after what had happened a while ago.

    ¡°Your mommy wants to see Jewel and she is persistent with it.¡± Her dad said.

    He looked at her mom and it just raised her eyebrow, ¡°Why? Don¡¯t say that, we¡¯re not allowed

    to visit now that you¡¯re already married! I just miss Jewel. Where is she?

    ¡°She¡¯s upstairs, I¡¯ll call her¡± He responds. He¡¯s about to go upstairs when he sees her wife

    walking down.

    He immediately came closer to her and held her, which made her shocked, ¡°Wh-why?¡± she

    asked.

    ¡°Mom and Dad are here, so get along,¡± he said sinctly .

    Together they went down to the living room and found the spouse sitting together on the sofa.

    When the woman noticed them she directly came near Jewel and hugged her. ¡°I miss you, my daughter,¡± she said and hugged her.

    She hugged back and smiled. ¡± I miss you too mommy/daddy. You came herete? You¡¯re

    going to have a sleepover here?¡± she asked.

    They just shake their heads ¡± We¡¯re just passing by, we just came from a conference meeting.¡±

    ¡°And then? Spill it mom.¡± Thunder baldly said.

    ¡°Your Aunt Celestine is here in the Philippines. She¡¯s inviting us for lunch tomorrow.¡± his dad

    answer

    ¡°We¡¯lle,¡± he answered.

    ¡± How are you H-¡± His mother suddenly stopped and looked at Jewel closely. ¡± Wait honey, did

    you cry?¡±

    ¡°No mommy, I just got emotional on the K-drama I watched a while ago.¡± she responded.

    The woman just nodded, ¡°Isn¡¯t your husband hurting you?¡± She directly asked.

    Thunder instantly looked at her. He felt anxious that Jewel might fink what had happened and

    on how he treated her.

    Jewel just shook her head. ¡± No mom. The truth is Thunder is so caring and so loving when ite to me .¡±

    He was astonished by how her wife covered up the situation.

    ¡°Mom! What kind of questions is that? Do you think I can do it to my wife? Of course not, right

    babe?¡± He also responds and gives her wife a kiss on the cheeks.

    The spouse smiles on what they heard and witnessed.

    ¡°Look at them hon, they are so sweet right? Our decision to get them married was really right. They Looked perfect together and obviously they love each other.¡° Her mommy said with a happy smile stered in the face.

    ¡°I thought my son was hurting you. He will regret it if he does. Don¡¯t hesitate to tell me if he hurt you or

    Thunder made you cry.¡± She added and gave him a sharp ze.

    ¡°Son,¡± His father called him seriously. ¡°We want a grandchild. You know we aren¡¯t getting

    younger.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re dad is right son, It¡¯s been a year since both of you got married but still we didn¡¯t get any

    words on having a grandchild, aren¡¯t you nning on giving as a grandchild?¡± her mother added.

    Jewel felt the gag on something in her throat even though she wasn¡¯t eating and she couldn¡¯t

    even hide the redness of her face on what she heard.

    ¡°Dad/mom! See, looking at my wife she felt embarrassed about what you are talking about. Don¡¯t worry we are working on it.¡± Thunder answered that it shows the redness of Jewel¡¯s face even more visible.

    His parents justugh at her reaction. They stay for an hour before they leave. As their parents leave, Thunder immediately goes upstairs and never bothers waiting for her but Jewel just follows him.

    Thunder was already on the second floor when her wife called him . ¡°What now?¡± he respond

    with bored reaction

    ¡°Ahm, Do I have to be with you tomorrow?¡± She hesitantly asked.

    ¡°Of course you need to! We are married right? What would Aunt Celestine think if you¡¯re not with

    me? Use your brain.¡± she coldly said and continued to his room.

    She sighs on how her husband treats her again but she never mind it and goes to her room.

    While she was at her room Jewel felt easiness, she can¡¯t decide on what to wear for tomorrow¡¯s

    lunch. She doesn¡¯t want to look like trash in front of Thunders family even though she has aN?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    close bond with them. She doesn¡¯t want her husband felt embarrassed because of her so she¡¯s

    in trouble preparing for it.

    She¡¯s finding a dress to suit her in the closet when a pink floral dress caught her attention. She

    takes it and tries it in front of the mirror and it seems good on her so she decides that she will be

    wearing it for tomorrow¡¯s lunch.

    She prepared everything for tomorrow so it won¡¯t make her husband get bored waiting for her to

    finish her look. She didn¡¯t know why she prepared so much for that simple lunch. She couldn¡¯t deny the fact to herself that she felt excited thinking that Thunder would act sweet and gentle to her tomorrow in front of his family. She looked at her wall clock and saw it¡¯s already 10 pm at night. She was preupied preparing that she wasn¡¯t aware of the time. She decided to fix her bed when she felt drowsiness and remembered that she¡¯ll be preparing their breakfast tomorrow morning. She knows Thunder won¡¯t leave because of that lunch asion.

 Chapter 8

    As Jewel nned, she woke up early and prepared breakfast for her husband. She sets the table for their breakfast and she also makes coffee knowing her husband will be downstairs soon.

    And she¡¯s right when she sees her husband ising. ¡°Good morning, Thunder I prepared breakfast and some coffee,¡± she smiled, greeting him.

    Thunder never bothered to pay attention to her and directly sat down and ate. As he ate he noticed that her wife was looking at him, ¡± What are you looking at? Do you have ns to eat? ¡± he said irritably.

    Jewel went back to her senses when she heard her husband¡¯s words. ¡± Nothing, nothing, don¡¯t mind me. Just continue your food, I¡¯m already full.¡± she replied.

    Thunder just shook his head and continued to eat. A few minutester he had already finished his food, he stood up and took the coffee with him in the living room.

    A big smile formed in Jewel¡¯s lips as soon as Thunder left. She¡¯s buoyant on how her day started out without arguing with her husband. Right away she washed the dishes.

    As soon as she¡¯s done with all her work she immediately goes to her room for a bath and prepares herself. They will leave the house at 11:00 am as her husband told her. It takes one hour for her to dress herself. She couldn¡¯t understand why she felt uneasy looking at herself in the mirror when knowing that she had these tight bonds with Thunders family. A few minutester she heard her husband knocking the door, ¡°Are you done? We need to go.¡± He asked behind the door.

    ¡°Ahm! Yes I¡¯m done. I¡¯ll be outside just waiting a little while.¡± she replied

    ¡°Hurry up! I don¡¯t want to bete.¡± He said before he left .

    She quickly took her small sling bag and hurriedly followed her husband.

    The definition of silence covered the whole atmosphere of the car as they drove off, no one tried to speak. Thunders focus on driving while Jewel looks outside the car window and let her mind be preupied.

    ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Thunder hastily asked that made Jewel startle a bit.

    ¡°How¡¯s Dark?¡± she asked.

    Thunders forehead furrowed because of her questions.

    ¡± Why do you ask?¡± he seriously responded.

    ¡°Nothing, It just popped out when I remember Calliyah.¡± she said.

    Thunder¡¯s expression suddenly went back to normal, ¡°He¡¯s in pain Jewel, he¡¯s broken inside and outside.¡±

    ¡°I think he deserves it! After what he did to Calliyah? He¡¯s an asshole!¡± She said in displeasure.

    Thunderughed which made me look at him.¡± Is there anything funny to what I said?¡± I asked myself

    ¡°Silly, stop being judgemental, Dark has a reason why he did that.¡± Thunder defended his friend.

    She just rolled her eyes.

    They arrived at the restaurant where they would have lunch with Thunders¡¯ family. They get inside and find their parents with Aunt Celestine and also his son Red. They greeted them all and sat on a vacant chair.

    ¡°How are you?¡± Red suddenly asked and looked at Thunder mockingly.

    ¡°We¡¯re okay.¡± Thunder said briefly, a teasing smile still stered on Red lips.

    She looked at her husband to see that his expression darkened and tried calming himself because of how Red teasing him.

    While waiting for their ordered food, Aunt Celestine suddenly talks. ¡°When will you both n on giving your mommy a grandchild Thunder? I know she¡¯s longing for a kid because you are already married and you don¡¯t have any siblings.¡±

    ¡°Exactly , Celestine , I already asked them about it. They¡¯ve been married for a year but still I haven¡¯t heard them talk about my grandchild¡± her mother indulged in.

    I noticed a faintugh of Red lips that made Thunder form a fist while staring at him sharply.

    ¡°Aunt, just let them be by now, maybe they are not yet ready for that or what if they haven¡¯t done that thing yet.¡± Red teasingly said.

    The woman instantly looked at his son Thunder, ¡± Is Red right son? Why is it? You both married a year ago but still haven¡¯t any grandchildren.¡±

    Thunder gazed even sharper at his cousin Red. The teasing action towards Thunder is really noticeable.

    Red didn¡¯t mind the stares he got from Thunder but instead he smiled even wider.

    ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be in a hurry! Just wait, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll have your grandchild. isn¡¯t it babe?¡± Thunder looked at her.

    He even held her hand and nted a soft kiss on it.

    Jewel can¡¯t hide the happiness she felt on how her husband acted.

    Their topic stopped when their order food arrived. While Thunder is eating he can¡¯t stop thinking about the conversation he had with Red.

    FLASHBACK

    ¡°What now dude? We¡¯ll have lunch tomorrow¡± Red said.

    ¡± So what if we have lunch tomorrow?¡± He replied.

    ¡°Nothing, Just asking. You knew that Jewel and you are not that typical normal married couple. You know what I mean. You knew Jewel is beautiful and yet sexy at the same time, If you¡¯re not

    her husband I probably courted her. ¡°Red responded.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    Thunder felt a sudden irritation as he heard what his cousin spelled up. He can¡¯t understand why he felt that kind of emotion when he heard a man admiring wife.

    ¡°Damn you Asshole! Stop messing around with my wife.¡± He emphasized every word he said.

    Redughed at his response. ¡± Just kidding. Why are you acting like that? All I know is that you loathed her and now you¡¯re acting like that ? You don¡¯t want her to leave then why did you keep on hurting her? You¡¯re blind to see how beautiful, caring and loving Jewel is cause you choose to hate her and you let your anger take over you. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll regret it when

    your woman finds someone that can treasure and she¡¯ll choose to leave you. A man that gives everything for her and never ever hurts her and treats her like a queen and a total opposite of you because all you do for her is hurt her day by day.¡± Red said in a serious voice.

    ¡± You knew that I hated her. No, I loathe her! I despise her for taking away my freedom and in exchange she¡¯ll stay with me. If she¡¯ll give up then be it. Though it¡¯s favorable for me if she

    leaves, my life will be peaceful again. But at this moment I¡¯ll make her suffer and I will make her fall in love with me, though I know she already loves me but I still nned on making her fall for

    me even deeper, deeper that she will experience agonizing pain if she leaves me¡± He said.

    Red just shook his head in disbelief on what his cousin told him so. ¡°I don¡¯t really get you, Jewel is a totally perfect package that every man wants but you choose not to see. One day you¡¯ll be

    eating those words you spoke and you¡¯ll be the one who will suffer from it. It¡¯s so rare to find a woman just like your wife and you know Jewel for another man is like a blessinging from above that they don¡¯t want to lose. I know one of these days you¡¯ll regret the way you treated her.¡± Red replied.

    Jewel is mine! Mine alone! I won¡¯t let her be happy!

 Chapter 9

    It¡¯s been 3 weeks since the lunch gathering with Thunders Auntie and his cousin happened. On that day Jewel felt so much happiness because of the way her husband treated her, he was so sweet and loving in front of his family even though she knew all of it was part of their act.

    Since then they are back to normal, her husband back to his regr habit, a drunkard, a womanizer and most of all not minding about her presence but good thing he never brings her women in their house again.

    She¡¯s hurt about it but she endured it all and chose to cry the pain she felt .

    She mostly thinks that all of this is her fault, why she¡¯s being like this , why she suffered and why her life has be miserable.

    At first he thought everything would be okay and they would live together as a happy married couple after their wedding but she experienced the other way around.

    All of the happiness she desired to have with him never came to life.

    She feels like falling into a deep hollow and no one is there to catch her.

    She just finished preparing her husband¡¯s breakfast and waited for him to get downstairs. Later while she heard footsteps and for sure it¡¯s her husbanding in.

    ¡°Thunder! I¡¯m done cooking your breakfast,e eat.¡± she said.

    He stared at her with a furrow eyebrow. He didn¡¯t even answer or smile. He walked to the dining table and started eating.

    She felt a little rejoice watching her husband eating the food she did not like before he would leave and ignore everything she does.

    While staring at her husband she recalls something. She liked to ask something but she didn¡¯t know where to start.

    She felt nervous because he might ignore her but there¡¯s nothing wrong if she tried.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    She took a deep breath before she started.

    ¡°Ahm Thunder, I-I mmhh, I have something to ask?.¡± she said.

    He stopped and looked at me ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°Are you leaving? I mean going somewhere today?¡± She directly asked.

    ¡°Why did you ask? Nothing really, but I¡¯m going to thepanyter to sign some files after it. I¡¯ll being home.¡± he answered.

    It made her smile hearing him talk longer than usual because it¡¯s rare for him to talk like that if he answered maybe one or two words is enough.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be cooking dinner, might as well you¡¯ll eat your dinner here cause as you said you have nothing to go for.¡± She said,

    He nodded as he answered.

    Her smile widened even more. She was happy because he agreed.

    ¡°You¡¯re assuming again and afterwards you¡¯ll be disappointed and hurt and nothing you can do but to cry¡± Her igo contradicts.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be leavingter for groceries¡± she said

    She hadn¡¯t heard any other answersing from Thunder and might as well stop talking. It¡¯s enough for her that he agreed to eat dinner here.

    After her husband finished his food she immediately washed those dishes while Thunder returned to his room.

    Afterwards Jewel dresses herself up for her to buy everything in the supermarket, the things she needs for the dinners she¡¯s nning to prepare. This day is her special day and it bes more special because she¡¯s gonna be with the person she loves the most.

    Around 2 o¡¯clock in the afternoon she arrived home. She put everything on the fridge and took a look for her husband in the room but he was not already there.

    Maybe he¡¯s already in the office ¡°- she thought

    It¡¯s still early though so she decided to take a nap in her room. She set her rm clock for her to wake up on time to cook the food.

    While preparing the vegetable sd she remembers her dearest friend. It was his favorite dish.

    She felt sad recalling the things that happened 3 years ago. She avoided remembering that incident . That night and the incident it gave her was painful yesterday.

    It traumatizes her. That night her life is in danger and the worst thing she¡¯s almost got raped.

    She really hate the idea of being rape because it gives her a hard time, gives her a real nightmare. If it¡¯s not because of her friend she certainly couldn¡¯t survive.

    She smiled bitterly, I miss you Daven.

    She woke up at 4 o¡¯clock in the afternoon. She immediately went to the kitchen and started cooking. It¡¯s 6 o¡¯clock when I finish cooking and preparing everything at the table. When everything is done she goes back upstairs to dress herself up.

    She already waited for 2 hours and still her husband is not yet home. It¡¯s 8 in the evening but here she is waiting for him.

    Her eyes begin to water. This day is her special day and she wants it to be perfect even just today, but it looks like it won¡¯t be happening.

    He sat in a chair in front of the table and stared at the food he had prepared. She opened a bottle of wine and poured it into the ss. She is still waiting for him.

    While drinking her wine she can¡¯t stop but to cry. She¡¯s hurting again. It¡¯s the usual thing for her but she is still hoping that maybe today, just for today she¡¯ll be happy. But Thunder never misses this day to hurt her.

    What¡¯s new? Thunder constantly hurting me and giving me false hope, until when I¡¯ll be like this? This is exhausting , but I still love him. ¨C she thought to herself

    Life is so unfair!

    Even just for today, this special day is why he can¡¯t give an exemption. Maybe if she was with her family she might be happy.

    She continuously drinks her wine when she remembers she forgot to check her phone all day. She knows that she got many texts and calls but she also knows that none of them areing from the person that can make her day more special.

    She did not realize that she already drank all of her wine. She goes to her room.

    ¡°¡®HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEWEL,¡± she whispered to herself as she walked upstairs.

    As she enters her room her tears that she tried to avert to fall are now flowing down over her face.

    Here she is again crying, it hurts her a lot because it¡¯s her special day as she hopes that she should be happy but what had happened she¡¯s at the corner again crying her pain out.

    I¡¯m tired

    I¡¯m tired being hurt

    I¡¯m tired of shedding tears again.

    I¡¯m tired hoping for nothing

    I¡¯m tired of fighting for this love.

 Chapter 10

    The next day Jewel woke up with crapulence. She sat on her bed reminiscing about everything that happenedst night that she waited for her husband to return home but turns out he didn¡¯t show up.

    Even having sobriety she manages to take a shower to lessen the pain she¡¯s feeling.

    She stared at her reflection in the mirror and forlorn about it, she did change a lot. She was once a ssy woman, well-groomed, fair skin, elegant and no trace of bruises antithetical to a mess and a total trash Jewel she was now.

    ¡°It¡¯s time to fix myself, bring back the Jewel once they know the real Jewel¡± She said with perseverance looking at herself in the mirror.

    After taking shower she walked to her closet and chose to wear a simple dress, 4 inches heels, put a clip on her long and straight hair and simple makeup to fit on her outfit. She even used her violet sling bag that made everything suit perfectly.

    She¡¯s about to go when her phone rings.

    She took her phone in her bag and looked at who was calling.

    CAIN CALLING ¡­.

    Hello, Cain you called?

    Where are you? Can we meet?

    I¡¯m on my way to the mall. Let¡¯s meet at the starbucks.

    I put back my phone in my bag as the call ended. Cain is one of my close friends and also my husband¡¯s friend.

    She was ready to go when a taxi passed by . It¡¯s her lucky day. It¡¯s so rare that a taxi would go by in their area if the taxi didn¡¯te on time, maybe she¡¯ll probably walk their subdivision. She¡¯s toozy to use her car so she decided tomute.

    While she is in the cab she¡¯s having a hard time pondering if she¡¯ll text or call her husband that she is going somewhere but at the end she chose not to as she remembers that he didn¡¯t even care about her.

    It was past 2 o¡¯clock as she arrived at the mall. She directly goes to Starbucks, the meeting ce they chose to meet with his friend.

    As she set foot in the Starbucks she decried him waving at her. She sauter near him. Cain gave her a kiss on the cheeks as she reached their table.

    They sat down and took their order. While waiting for their food his friend gave her something.

    ¡°Bted Happy Birthday Jewel!¡± He greeted and handed over the gift.

    She was astounded ¡°Thank you Cain! You¡¯re the best. I was sad considering that you forgot about it.¡± I pout.

    ¡°You¡¯re crazy , Forgetting your special day won¡¯t happen. How¡¯s you birthday celebration yesterday?¡± He asked.

    Jewel¡¯s smile vanished and made his friend look at her acutely when he heed her reaction.

    ¡°Thunder didn¡¯t greet you? He didn¡¯t evene home? ¡± He said irritably.

    She just shook her head as an answer to his question.

    Cain signs he knows their situation. Even if he¡¯s a close friend of Thunder he felt sorry for Jewel¡¯s state and torment. He felt sorry for her because Jewel is also his friend.

    ¡± When will you give up ? Until when you¡¯ll suffer? Thunder is my close friend so as you are Jewel but I can bear the way he treated you but still it¡¯s your choice , your decisions to make.¡± He reminded me.

    ¡± I don¡¯t know Cain. I can leave him because I love him. I love him so much. ¡°I said, trying to stop my tears from falling.

    She¡¯s aware that Cain knows everything about their married life.

    ¡°Even if you are in pain? Jewel love isn¡¯t enough to stay! Can you see yourself right now, ha?¡± He said in vexation.

    He knows his friend felt solicitude about her but she knows she can¡¯t bear to leave her husband.

    ¡± I love him so much, Cain. Even if it¡¯s hurting me a lot. I won¡¯t leave him. ¡± I said honestly.

    Cain forms into fist ¡°Jewel you are hurting because you are in love, you love him that¡¯s why you are in pain. Pain is part of loving someone but everything has its end. Not because you love that person you¡¯ll stay even though it¡¯s breaking you piece by piece. Sometimes you need to let go before it¡¯s toote and nothing is left for you. If you are taking the risk, make sure it¡¯s worth it, it¡¯s hard to specte on someone without assurance to win.¡±

    ¡°I want to take a rest, I want to ease the pain but I don¡¯t know how¡±- I replied.

    ¡°Love yourself first, not because you love him you¡¯ll forget to love yourself. If you love someone don¡¯t give up everything, you must also love yourself lest that you¡¯ll get hurt you still have yourself.¡± he seriously said.

    She knows what her friends are trying to say but for her, she¡¯s willing to endure her husband¡¯s cruelty because she loves him and she¡¯s still hoping that one of these days he¡¯d change.

    I¡¯m a halfwit to bide on my husband¡¯s side even though he¡¯s hurting me. I¡¯m just in love and there¡¯s nothing wrong with falling in love.

    ¡°Give yourself a break Jewel, rest the whole you. Since you get married I haven¡¯t seen your genuine smile again. Although you are smiling I know it¡¯s a sham. Don¡¯t force yourself to smile if you are going to pretend that you are happy you¡¯re fooling everyone, including yourself. You can¡¯t bear to leave him and scared to lose him? Have you ever asked him once if he¡¯s also scared and afraid to lose you?¡± He added

    She wants to answer him but she can¡¯t find the words to utter. It seems something is scratching her to speak.

    She weed and Caid instantly sce her ¡± Don¡¯t cry you are beautiful to cry. It¡¯s not my intention to hurt you, instead I gave a word for you to think.¡± He said and wiped her tears.

    They continue their food and small talk. They stayed there for almost two hours before roaming around the mall.

    It was five in the afternoon when they decided to go. Cain insisted on taking her home but she declined. She doesn¡¯t want to disturb him that much.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.

    Cain stays beside her while waiting for a cab. ¡°Ahm Cain, thank you for this day. I enjoyed it.¡±

    ¡± Its nothing, I told you don¡¯t hesitate to call me if you need someone to talk.¡±- He said

    A minuteter a cab stopped in front of them. She gave Cain a hug and kiss on a cheek before getting inside the cab.

 Chapter 11

    As she arrived home she went straight to her room. While changing her clothes she unconsciously spots their picture frame attached on the wall, it was taken on their wedding day. Blithe is visible on her face on that portrait meanwhile her husband showed a manifestation of nausea.

    She smiled bitterly, reminiscing about their nuptial day. She felt ecstatic on that day knowing she¡¯ll be spliced to the man she loves. She was once dreaming of having a loving husband and a happy family, nevertheless kismet was atrocious and fiendish the total opposite of what she desired.

    Before she could shed a tear she went out and checked her husband in his room to know if he had arrived home but as she stepped in there , there¡¯s no sign of Thunder that he hade home so she got out and decided to wait for him.

    While stepping down the stairs she heard a morous opening of the door that made her rush toe down.

    ¡°Jewel!¡± Thunder shouted in infuriating.

    She staggered hearing her husband¡¯s incensed voice.

    She found him walking in an askew.

    ¡°I¡¯ve been calling you? Why aren¡¯t you answering , ha?¡± He furiously said as soon as he saw me.

    She felt trepidation knowing her husband was drunk.

    ¡°Go to your room Thunder, take a rest because you¡¯re drunk¡± She said calmly.

    She was about to turn her back to him when suddenly her husband pulled her arm.

    ¡°I said you should take a rest,e I¡¯ll take you to your room.¡± Jewel said.

    As they reached her husband¡¯s room, she excused herself but before she could step out the room her husband pulled her again aggressively.

    ¡°What¡¯s with you Thunder! You should rest and I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± She shrieked but she was shocked when he suddenly pulled her harshly and hurled her in the bed.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    She felt terrified because of it. She immediately stood up from the bed but her husband stopped her ¡°T-thunder w-what are d-doing, let m-me out.¡± She said nervously.

    Thunder grin, it seems he hasn¡¯t heard any words. ¡± Don¡¯t whine! I know you like this thing. You are whore and I know you¡¯ve bedded many mens so maybe I can try it too, it¡¯s your obligation as my wife.¡±

    Jewel felt shiver all over her body because of the way Thunder¡¯s acted, edgy was taking over her as she saw Thunders started taking off his shirts.

    She moves backward until she reaches the headboard of the bed, she can¡¯t move any further when Thunder starts toe near her.

    ¡°Don¡¯t d-do this T-thunder, please. Don¡¯t do this to me.¡± She begged.

    Oh God, please help me.

    She was well-nigh about to cry because of transpire just now, it evokes the past that she was trying to forget.

    ¡°Stop bellyaching. You¡¯ll like this, I¡¯m better than those men you have. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be pleased.¡± He said with a mischievous smile looking at her.

    He isn¡¯t the Thunder that she married for, the Thunder that she loved and cherished , this man standing in front of me is a totally different person.

    She felt his hands touching her tights made her hasten to move.

    ¡°N-no no-noooo!¡± She screamed when Thunder pulled her close to him.

    She can¡¯t stop those tears running down her bare face. She can¡¯t believe the things happening to her. The worst part is her husband was the one who did it to her.

    ¡°Please, I-I¡¯m begging you Thunder. Stop it, D-don¡¯t do this to me.¡± She begged but Thunder seemed not to hear anything.

    She yelped when suddenly Thunder ripped off her clothes. She could barely breathe because she was extremely frightened and nervous.

    As Thunder sessfully gets rid of her clothes he immediately moves on top of her. She can¡¯t let out any words but to shake her head.

    She avoided every kiss from him. She can¡¯t move because Thunders is on top of her but still she did everything she could just to push him with all of her strengths but she just received a p from him.

    ¡°You really want to get hurt Jewel? Don¡¯t try my patience or else I would do more than that.¡± He shouted at her

    She just shook her head and even tried harder to escape from Thunder¡¯s gripped, her tears didn¡¯t stop from streaming down her face.

    ¡°Stop this Thunder!¡± She shouted and pushed him again.

    Thunder¡¯s face darken and pped her again stronger than the first one. She felt numb on her face. He wasn¡¯t satisfied, he even harshly pulled her hair.

    ¡°O-ouchh!! T-th thunder you¡¯re hurting me! Let me go!¡± She said in pain.

    ¡°Stop acting clean! I know you like what I¡¯m doing to you.¡±He said seriously.

    She did everything to escape but her husband is so strong that she wasn¡¯t able to fight back.

    He pulled her back to the headboard,id her facing the bed and tied her hands with the belt. Jewel cried even more when Thunder started molesting her body.

    She could stop but to feel aggrieved towards her husband because of what he did. It wasn¡¯t what she wanted to happen. She knows that this is her obligation as his wife but not in this way.

    She felt so much pain when Thunders started to prate behind her. She¡¯s a virgin for pete¡¯s sake but he doesn¡¯t seem to mind if she was hurting.

    Her legs started to get numb but Thunder continued thrusting above her. After a while Thunder took her to face him, she saw over his eyes his lustful desire.

    She was even more shocked when Thunder wanted to put his length over her mouth, at first she tried to avoid it but he punched her to make her whine in pain that gave him the ess to put his manhood inside Jewel¡¯s mouth, she felt the urge to vomit because his length is big to fits in her mouth. He kept on thrusting on her and that pleasured him much more.

    A minute passed he let out his manhood on her mouth , she thought he was done but she was wrong.

    Thunder is still on her top when he aggressively puts his maleness inside her core, almost making her scream in pain. She cried even more when she felt something ripped inside her.

    Thunder continued to thrusted inside her in and out faster and deeper while she was in deep pain.

    She wants to fight back and push him again but her body is too weak to do so.

    ¡°Ahhh ahhh. You¡¯re such a tight bitch! You taste good, I wish I had done it before. Ugh! Ohh ahh. Shit.¡± He moaned.

    Since she had nothing she could do to stop him , she gave in and let him do whatever he was doing with her body while she was crying.

 Chapter 12

    Jewel didn¡¯t know how many minutes or hours had passed before her husband had finished grooming her. He keeps satisfying himself while she is crying in pain.

    She looked at her tied hands and it almost blushed because of the extreme tightness of Thunder¡¯s tie, her husband made sure that she can¡¯t really escape.

    She can also feel the pain on her cheek because of the several times it pped him hard, as well as her jaw hurt and you can also include her stomach that her husband punched.

    Anger started lingering in Jewel¡¯s heart as she looked at her husband. For her it wasn¡¯t the Thunder that she knew, in almost a year of being together as a married couple, Thunder didn¡¯t do such a thing to her.

    She felt hatred towards her husband now! She loathes him! She regrets marrying a rapist!

    ¡°Ohhh Ahh, fuck fuck. Ahhh. Ahh Ahh.¡± her husband moan as if he¡¯s in so much pleasure.

    After onest thrust her husband stopped already at what he was doing and quickly left on the top of Jewel andy down on bed. Thunder almost gasped as he closed eyes.

    The rope on her hands started to loose so she pulled and removed it. She hugged herself while crying, she couldn¡¯t believe that her own husband Thunder could do this to her.

    She stayed there for a few more minutes because she could not stand up yet, she could feel the pain in all parts of her body.

    Even though she¡¯s still in pain, especially the middle part of her thigh, she managed to stand up and walked out in her husband¡¯s room and went fast to her own room.

    As she got to her own room she immediately went to her closet and took all her clothes and important documents and put it in a bag, as she put all her belongings there, the tears were still streaming down in her eyes.

    Tonight she is ready to leave the man she loved the most, no matter how hard and painful for her, because she now felt that she waspletely exhausted as well as her personality and dignity was gone.,

    Her love for her husband that she thought would never go away but in an instant was reced by anger, resentment and hatred. She can no longer bind and be with the person who causes her pain and makes her life a living hell. She can bear to see the face of the person who raped her.

    She managed to finish packing all her things as soon as possible, she didn¡¯t want to stay there longer, before she finally left her room she looked around for thest. She made sure that all the things she needed were in her bag already, she also nced at their wedding photos that were glued in the wall and smiled painfully.

    After a minute she quickly went out to her room with her bags.

    Tonight she will discard everything that happened when she met Thunder until she married him.

    ¡®You will regret everything you¡¯ve done to me, and when Ie back I will make you feel twice the pain you have caused me. Starting today I will forget that you are my husband! I despise you Thunder, I loathe you in hell.¡± she thought to herself

    She quickly went downstairs and left their house without turning around.

    As she rode in the taxi she couldn¡¯t help but reminisce about all the things that happened to them since they got married, she couldn¡¯t help but feel sad and hurt about it. She checked into one hotel they own. She wanted to sleep, she wanted to rest.

    The next morning she woke up early because she was going somewhere, she will visit the important person in her life.

    She just ate instant noodles and then she quickly took a shower then got dressed.

    She took an hour before she reached the cemetery. And now here she is sitting in front of a tombstone, she also brought a white roses.

    ¡®Hi Dave, I¡¯m sorry if it takes time for me to visit you. I can still feel the pain and until now I¡¯m still ming myself for what happened to you.¡¯ she saidN?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.

    ¡®You know what there are so many things I wanted to tell you, all the pain, hatred, anger and resentment I have but I know I can¡¯t and it won¡¯t happen anymore cause you¡¯re not here beside me. So let me just tell you everything here. I know you can hear me.¡± she continued as she caressed her friend¡¯s name in the tombstone.

    She started telling him everything from the time she got married until what she went throughst night.

    It was very painful for her because she thought she would never experience that thing but she clearly experienced it in the hands of her own husband.

    And she promised to herself that her life will not end here, she will fix herself and rise again. She will bring back the old Jewel that he lost since he loved Thunder. She will make sure that when she returns they will see the new Jewel who is strong and confident, and she will not allow someone to hurt and abuse her.

    She could not erase from her mind the fact that something had happened to her and her husband but in the wrong way.

    She stayed there for a few more minutes before finally leaving and returning to the hotel. She has already decided she will go to Canada where she will start rebuilding herself again.

    She took her phone out of his bag as she rode on a taxi back to the hotel, she called her friend Cain. She couldn¡¯t call Calliyah because she wasn¡¯t there and was on vacation with Dark.

    Cain Calling ¡­.

    ¡°Hello Jewel?¡± said the young man¡¯s voice

    ¡°C-cain? Can youe here now? I need you and your help, please.¡± she¡¯s pleading

    The young man was immediately rmed when he heard her friend¡¯s cracked voice.

    ¡°Are you crying? What happened? Where are you now? I¡¯m going to see you.¡± he said in a concerned voice

    ¡°When youe here I¡¯ll tell you everything, I¡¯m here at the hotel I¡¯ll send you the address.¡± she said and ended the call

    As she arrived at the hotel she went straight to a restaurant there and ordered something to eat because she was starving.

    After she finished eating she immediately went back to her unit and sat on the sofa, she felt miserable and hopeless, she missed her best friend Daven and she knew that if he was still alive he wouldfort her and say that everything will be alright.

    Suddenly all the memories they had as best friends shed back and most of all the memory she had buried in oblivion.

 Chapter 13

    3 years ago ¡­.

    Friday Night.

    She was leaving the house of her friend Daven. The three of them, Calliyah, have been best friends from high school to college. They had a project that day so they decided to make it in the house of Daven. The young man was supposed to take her to their house but she refused because she said it was too early and their driver woulde to pick her up outside the subdivision.

    She made her way out of the subdivision to wait for his driver that night, as she was walking she noticed that someone seemed to be following her so she elerated her walk but still did not lose the men who followed her.

    She was about to run and shout when a man suddenly grabbed him and the other suddenly sniffed something on his nose causing him to lose consciousness.

    She just woke up in a building unfamiliar to her. And there she realizes that she has been kidnapped, all she does is shout for help but it looks like it is far from the town and no one can hear her.

    A few minutester the door suddenly opened and it spat out two men, one was carrying food.

    ¡°Eat that, so you¡¯ll have strengthter when Boss needs you.¡± the man said handing her the food

    ¡°Our Master is lucky! This girl is beautiful, sexy, smooth and obviously fresh.¡± the other man said

    Jewel didn¡¯t quite understand what the two were talking about but she knew it wasn¡¯t good.

    ¡°P-please, please let me go.¡± she pleaded

    But they did not even listen to her but left.

    She kept knocking on the door until he felt pain in her hand but still no one opened it.

    An hourter the door opened again. There was a man who entered. She remembers it, it was one of thepanions of the man who had delivered food to her earlier.

    He quickly pulled her and carried her out. Not knowing where it would take her, she saw them walking upstairs until they reached a door that was closed. Jewel doesn¡¯t know why she feels scared.

    She tried to remove the hand of the man who was holding her but it only tightened the grip on her so she couldn¡¯t get away.

    ¡°If I were you don¡¯t try to run away because you can¡¯t do that no matter how hard you try.¡± the man said

    ¡°Please let me go, let me go home now.¡± he begged

    But the man just shook his head and started to knock on the closed door and suddenly it opened, a man with a shirt on top of it was exposed to them.

    Jewel admits that he is handsome and in good shape but you can tell he is a bad boy.

    The man quickly ushered her into the room ¡°Master this is what we got tonight.¡±

    The man just smiled and looked at him. ¡°It¡¯s good that you got a beautiful and fresh girl today. All right, you can leave.¡± the guymanded

    Without second thought the man left her with the guy they called boss or master. Earlier she noticed that there were only three people here in this ce, the previous two and this man standing in front of her but she knew there were still a lot of people just around.

    ¡°So, you¡¯re the girl whom I¡¯ll be with tonight, huh? Not bad, my man is just lucky.¡± he said as he posted a smirk on his lips.

    Jewel¡¯s feelings are mixed now, but her nervousness and fear are more lingering in her.

    ¡°A-what do you need from-me? Please let me go now, if you want money I can give it to you, H-how much do who need? Just let me go home.¡± she pleaded

    Little did Jewel know that was in that building was her friend Daven. She didn¡¯t know that Daven followed her when she left in the house of her friend. He was carrying his car so he quickly followed where she was taken, he also called the police.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just let you go after I savor you.¡± he grinned and immediately pushed him on the bed and quickly tore her mini dress

    She could do nothing at those times because she was afraid and she knew she could not fight the man in front of her.

    The only thing she could do was to cry when the guys started kissing her on the lips down to her neck. Jewel pushed the man even harder but he only held her two hands.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.

    She feels so scared, she doesn¡¯t know what will happen to her that night and if she will survive. She almost called all the saints just to pray that someone woulde to help her before this man couldmit his evil n against her.

    When Jewel looked out the window she noticed a bulk was there. She could not see who it was but she just looked at it asking for help.

    The man was about to destroy her underwear when the window suddenly mmed and his friend Daven quickly entered. Shock is written in her face because she didn¡¯t know how her friend got there and fear because it might put her friend¡¯s life in danger.

    Daven quickly punched the man hard, they even exchanged blows because he resisted. He quickly took the vase that was lying on its table and pped the man¡¯s back causing it to fall, they heard footsteps that seemed to be going to where they were. Maybe they heard the noiseing from it. Daven quickly grabbed her to run to the window that was open for them to go through because if they stayed there longer, they would surely be caught.

    When they got out of that room they were going for a run, but unfortunately she saw that some of the man¡¯s of the guy who wants to rape her had followed them.

    Her chest throbbed even more when she saw the gun pointed at them, they ran even faster but she suddenly got deaf when she heard two gunshots and when she looked at her friend who was hugging her.

    Daveny on the floor because he was hit by a gun that should have hit her. The police arrived just in time and caught the culprits along with the man who almost did something bad to him.

    The ambnce also arrived quickly to pick up Daven and she went with it. She just cried and cried while holding the hand of her best friend who was dying because of her.

    ¡°This is all my fault.¡± she said while tears continue falling in her eyes

    ¡°T- this is not y-your fault Jew, I wanted to save you, this is w-what I want. D-don¡¯t b-me yourself. s-yourself. You¡¯re my best friend and I will protect you at any cause¡± Daven said that made the girl cry even more

    ¡°D-don¡¯t say that, please? Hold on, we¡¯re close to the hospital. D-don¡¯t close your eyes Dave. Fight back! You can¡¯t die!¡± she said while hugging her best friend

    The young man just smiled at her. ¡°Be b-brave e-enough Jew. I w-will a-always h-here for y-you. I will watch you. I¡¯m h-happy that I met you and b-be m-my best friend. T-take care of yourself. And p-please find my sister, please tell her that I love her.¡± he whisper

    The girl immediately shook her head. ¡°Don¡¯t say that! You¡¯re the one who will say that to your sister! F-fight Dave, p-please fight. P-promise me that! I don¡¯t w-wanna lose you! We still have to graduate, y-you will be a doctor!¡± Jewel said as tears keeps flowing

    ¡°C-can, c-can I rest? I-I can¡¯t take it anymore.¡± he said in pain

    More abundant tears dripped from the Jewel¡¯s eyes. This is one of the most difficult situations, the feeling of letting you know that one of the most important people in your life is in pain and you know that there¡¯s a tendency that he will disappear, that you will never see him again and be with is like stabbing a knife in your heart

    ¡°Y-you can close your eyes if you w-want, b-but don¡¯t sleep. F-fight for your life. W-we are here for you, w-we need you! Y-you can¡¯t leave us, you c-can¡¯t leave me Daven. Y-youre strong right? P-promise me Daven Vifuerte! Y-you can¡¯t die! ¡± she said in so much pain while crying

    But only a sweet smile was given to him by her best friend.

    She was scared, she was afraid it might be thest time she could see that smile and hear that voice of the guy.

    When they arrived at the hospital, he was immediately rushed to the emergency room.

    Jewel didn¡¯t know what to do, she walked back and forth outside the emergency room. She also called their bestfriend Calliyan and told her what happened.

    Until she saw the doctore out so she immediately approached him.

    ¡°Doc, how¡¯s the patient? Is he okay, isn¡¯t he? He¡¯s safe, r-right?¡±

    She could clearly see the doctor¡¯s sigh and sadness on his face and eyes. ¡°We did our best, we did everything to save the patient. We got the bullet that hit him but one prated close to his heart and he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. I¡¯m sorry but he¡¯s gone.¡±

    ¡°N-no! T-that¡¯s not true! H-he¡¯s not dead yet! He won¡¯t-he won¡¯t leave me!¡± he just fell to the floor because of what she heard.

    Calliyah arrived immediately and quickly attended to her.

    ¡°What happen Mercyl? Are you okay? Where is Daven?¡± she ask immediately

    ¡°She¡¯s gone Calli, she left me. She left us.¡±

    Calliyah suddenly cried because of what she heard. He hugged the friend tightly because she knew at that time that was what Jewel needed.

    ¡°Shhh! Stop-crying. Daven won¡¯t like to see you like this. And one more thing you need to take a check up also and rest.¡± Calliyah said sobbing while still hugging Jewel

    Until Daven¡¯s funeral Jewel didn¡¯t go, she couldn¡¯t afford to take her best friend to the final destination and most of all she didn¡¯t want to see Daven¡¯s family, even the guy parents didn¡¯t me her because they knew she didn¡¯t like the happened and it is ident, but for her it was her fault why her best friend died.

    She also heard that Daven¡¯s sister came home from America when she heard what happened to her older brother. Honestly, she hasn¡¯t seen it in person yet but she already talks to the girl every time his brother calls his sister. All she knew was Daven was older than her.

    Since all that happened to her and her best friend died she has been traumatized. She suffers from depression. She doesn¡¯t want to leave her room, she just locks herself up all the time and most of all she doesn¡¯t want to be touched, only Calliyah could get close to her.

    She almostmitted suicide because she could no longer handle the pain and sadness. Her parents brought her to a doctor to have a check up and also she¡¯s been attending counseling and after a few months she was slowly recovering from what had happened.

    END OF THE FLASHBACK

 Chapter 14

    After that incident came back to her mind she couldn¡¯t help but sigh, she remembered her best friend who treated her like a sister who died because of her, if Daven didn¡¯t save her, he would probably still be alive. Three years had passed since a nightmare happened in her life but until now she still carries the weight in her chest.

    She closed her eyes to stop the tears from falling. She thought she was okay and moved on already but the truth is she is not, that incident is still fresh to her mind, she didn¡¯t realize that she had fallen asleep thinking too much.

    She just woke up when she heard a series of knocks on her hotel unit. She knew that it was Cain, she immediately stood up and walked towards the door and opened it, the worried face of the young man appeared.

    ¡°What happened? Why are you here at the hotel? Where is Thunder?¡± He asked her immediately

    ¡°You¡¯re not in a hurry, are you? Sit down first and I¡¯ll get you something to eat.¡± she saidughing

    ¡°Nah ah! I¡¯m still full. So, what¡¯s up?¡± Cain said.

    Jewel took a deep breath before sitting next to him, she didn¡¯t know how to tell Cain everything especially they are best friends, she didn¡¯t want the two of them to have a misunderstanding because of her, but she didn¡¯t have any choice, he knew that only Cain can help her.

    I started to tell him the whole story that happened between me and Thunder. Throughout my speech he was just listening and not speaking so I didn¡¯t know what was running in his mind.

    ¡°That bastard! I¡¯m gonna kill him even if he¡¯s my best friend!¡± I was shocked when he suddenly shouted in anger

    After a second he stood up. I immediately grab his hands to make him stop, because it looks like he¡¯s really serious about what he is saying. ¡°Where are you going?¡± I ask

    ¡°I¡¯m going to face that jerk!¡± he said in a serious voice

    I immediately shook my head. ¡°Don¡¯t, please Cain.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Jewel? Do you understand what you¡¯re saying? Thunder has done too much to you, yes he¡¯s my best friend but I can¡¯t tolerate his attitude and what he did to you. Don¡¯t be stupid!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s still my husband Cain! And I love him.¡± I defended

    ¡°That¡¯s bullshit! You love him but does he love you? Look at yourself Jewel, you¡¯re better than this. Wake up! There¡¯s no cure for stupidity. Help yourself before it breaks down.¡± i feel that he¡¯s trying to holding back to what her wants to say based on its clenched hand

    I was silent at what he said, no one wanted words toe out of my mouth. I just cried, he immediately joined me and hugged me.

    During the past few days, Jewel went through so much suffering, she could not sleep at night because she kept dreaming about what her husband did to her, it had a severe effect on her. It is often stupid or deep -thinking. She¡¯s been suffering from depression and trauma.

    He was very grateful because her friend Cain did not leave him, he was always at the hotel where she was temporarily staying and apanied her. She has also checked up 3 times a week because of the anxiety that she is experiencing. Cain also often woke up because of her cries.

    Cain¡¯s POV

    I¡¯m here in Jewel¡¯s room now, she just fell asleep again because she woke up earlier because of the nightmare that happened to her recently because of her husband¡¯s actions.

    I felt sorry for her, I often found her crying or maybe dumbfounded at the loss. Thunder has caused her so much trauma. And speaking of that bastard we haven¡¯t met again, that¡¯s even better because I might not be able to hold back and forget if he¡¯s my best friend.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    I arranged Jewel¡¯s bed and covered her with a nket before I got up to leave her room. I couldn¡¯t leave her especially at night because this is what happens to her. It¡¯s been a week that it¡¯s always been like this so I took him to the doctor for a checkup. She¡¯s in deep trauma and at the same time her emotions are triggered due to bad events in her life so it often seems like selflessness and fear.

    Whenever I see her like this I don¡¯t know what to do, just like the first night I caught her in such a state.

    FLASHBACK

    I just arrived at the hotel where Jewel was staying. I often go here to visit her and now it¡¯s past twelve in the morning and I was thinking if I should just go home and sleep in her unit, she is also used to my presence suddenly appearing in her unit.

    While in the elevator I was carrying the stic bag full of sweets for her. I was already feeling drowsy, probably in exhaustion because so much work in thepany.

    So when the elevator rang I quickly got out and walked towards Jewel¡¯s unit and when I got in I went straight to the kitchen to put in the refrigerator what I bought, I knew she was already asleep.

    When I had sorted out all the sweets I had brought, I walked to the living room and went to sleep there. I was only a few steps away when I heard a shouting from his room, I ran to her as fast as I could.

    I quickly opened the door and I saw her screaming as if she was begging, her eyes were also full of tears. I immediately approached her and hugged her to calm down, at first she struggled as if terrified to be touched.

    ¡°Hey, Jewel calm down. It¡¯s me Cain.¡± I speak calmly

    But she seemed to hear nothing and still continued to struggle with my grip. I could feel the fear and trembling all over her body. I can¡¯t me her, from what she experienced at the hands of Thunder knowing that wasn¡¯t easy.

    I hugged her tightly again, it was good that she calmed down but continued to sob. ¡°Cain, he might see me! He¡¯ll hurt me again, he¡¯ll do that to me again.¡± she said sobbing as it clings to me

    I immediately stroked the strand of her hair. ¡°No one can hurt you, especially him. I¡¯m just here, I¡¯ll watch over you. He can¡¯t touch you.¡± i assure to her

    I don¡¯t know how many minutes we were in that position realizing if my shoulder seemed to be getting heavier and when I looked at it she was already asleep.

 Chapter 15

    Dark POV

    I¡¯m here now in a cafe with my girlfriend. She was pissed, she was looking for her friend Jewel because her friend didn¡¯t answer her calls, she had been forcing me to call or go to Thunder and ask if Jewel was there.

    ¡°Babe, can you sit down first? I¡¯ve been dizzy from what you¡¯re doing.¡± I told her but she just looked at me and continued with what she was doing.

    ¡°Call that devil friend of yours!¡± she said

    I just sighed and picked up my phone to call Thunder, because if I hadn¡¯t done that, she would definitely not stop.

    I dialed Thunder¡¯s number many times but the line was busy and no one answered it.

    ¡°Oh what? What did he say? Where is Jewel?¡± Calliyah asked me

    ¡°Thunder didn¡¯t answer my call.¡± I said

    She sighed and sat down next to me. I know she¡¯s just worried about her friend, but I know that Jewel is okay in the hands of my friend Thunder.

    ¡°Babe, let¡¯s go to Thunder¡¯s house.¡± she pleaded

    ¡°Babe, we are not sure if Thunder is in their house or not! He¡¯s not answering my calls. Don¡¯t be paranoid there, maybe Jewel is just busy so she didn¡¯t manage to answer your call.¡± I said

    ¡°Seriously Dark? Busy? I¡¯ve been calling her for how many days and how many times but she is still not answering it! And now you are saying that I should be calm and not worry about my friend?¡± she burst outN?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    ¡°What if Thunder and Jewel are busy doing some private things? Then you¡¯ll go there and make trouble?¡± I ask

    It was good and she started to calm down and didn¡¯t push anymore. We just ordered something to eat.

    We only got back from Paris yesterday because we were both on vacation. We had a problem before and Calliyah went to another country so when I found out that she had returned here, I immediately talked to her and never let her go again.

    In just a couple of minutes our order arrived and we started eating. I thought she forgot about her friend and she suddenly spoke again.

    ¡°Babe, I can¡¯t really calm down until I can¡¯t see or even talk to Jewel.¡± aniya

    I put the spoon and fork on my te and then looked at her intently. ¡°Don¡¯t be a paranoid babe, I think you¡¯re just having jetg. Jewel is okay, Thunder won¡¯t do anything stupid to his wife.¡± I reassured

    She just nodded and we continued eating.

    Even if I really don¡¯t know if Jewel is okay or not, I know if my friend and Jewel are having a bad rtionship but I¡¯m sure Thunder won¡¯t do anything to harm her.

    I¡¯m just wondering why Thunder isn¡¯t in the office. His secretary said that he hasn¡¯te in yet and when I called Cain he didn¡¯t answer either.

    ¡°You know what babe, I really don¡¯t understand your friend. They were okay back then and their family was close, but why has he been treating my friend like that since they got married?¡± my girlfriend suddenly asked again

    ¡°I don¡¯t know babe, I also don¡¯t know why. Maybe Thunder has a reason.¡± I answer

    ¡°And what¡¯s that? Is it right for him to hurt his wife? If she doesn¡¯t like her wife he should not agree to the marriage.¡±

    ¡°Do you think if he doesn¡¯t agree, the marriage will be canceled? He has no choice babe, let¡¯s hope for the better, you know sooner they¡¯ll be fine too.¡± I said

    ¡°I hope so babe, I feel so sorry for my friend, Jewel doesn¡¯t deserve this.¡±

    After we ate, I invited Calliyah to go around to the mall, so that somehow she would lose her concern for her friend.

    FAST FORWARD

    2 Months Later

    Cain was driving with a smile stered in his face while Jewel was just sitting quietly next to him.

    They went to the hospital for the girl¡¯s final check -up. He was happy to know that it went well again even though he knew that Jewel had not really recovered from the trauma and depression but he was still happy that somehow his friend¡¯s energy was returning.

    Tomorrow they will leave for Canada and their Jewel will move on and continue her life, away from pain, suffering and especially with her husband.

    ¡°Hey, I guess you¡¯re thinking too deeply.¡± he getting the maiden¡¯s attention

    She immediately looked at him with a smile. ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m just thinking about how I¡¯ve survived what I¡¯ve been through these past few months.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re a strong woman Jew! The doctor said those who go through this situation, take a long time to recover, but look at you now. In two months you were able to.¡± I said

    ¡°Thank you Cain, thank you for everything! For all the things you¡¯ve done to me, for helping me and for being me all the time and for not leaving me.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re my friend and I¡¯m always here for you.¡± I smiled

    ¡°You can stay here, it¡¯s already enough that you take care of me for a few months. You are also needed here in the Philippines and thepany.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯d rather apany you there first for at least a few days or weeks, I want to make sure that you¡¯ll be okay.¡± I insist

    ¡°Is there anything I can do? Knowing you, you won¡¯t lose. Hahahaha¡± she saidughing

    ¡°Then why are you arguing with me?¡±

    ¡°Not anymore! Ahm. Cain, can we go to mcdo first? Buy me nuggets, sundae, friends, chocte float and pie.¡±

    I raised my eyebrow. ¡°Can you finish all that? And when did you start to eat pie? As far as I remember you are not eating that .¡± I ask

    ¡°Of Course! I will eat all of that, that¡¯s why I¡¯m asking you to buy me, right? Hmm. It¡¯s just I want to eat pie, you know people change! Don¡¯t ask too much.¡±

    Cain just nodded in response and continued driving.

    For several weeks, the young man noticed the changes in the girl but he just doesn¡¯t pay too much attention because maybe Jewel is just recovering in the month that she doesn¡¯t eat much because of what¡¯s happening to her.

    When they arrived at Mcdo, they quickly ordered and took the food that the girl wanted and go home because they need to fixed their things

    After 30 minutes they arrived at the hotel where the girl was staying, when they arrived at the suit, the girl quickly fell on the sofa and started eating what she bought at the mcdo.

    ¡°Oh slowly or you¡¯re gonna choke! It¡¯s like you haven¡¯t been fed for a few days.¡± Cainughed

    The girl just stared at him and continued eating.

 Chapter 16

    Jewel POV

    She is standing in front of the mirror while looking at her whole being.

    This is it, no turning back Jewel. You¡¯ve suffered enough. ¨C she thought to herself

    Today is the day Cain and I will be going to Canada. There is no doubt that she will be leaving now, unlike before, that she doesn¡¯t want to leave Thunder. Maybe if it wasn¡¯t for what happened to them she wouldn¡¯t be in this situation now.

    She closes her eyes as she remembers the times that she and Thunder were together. She loves her husband so much to the point that she doesn¡¯t even notice that even herself is slowly breaking down.

    She gave all her love to the person who doesn¡¯t love her at all. She realized that even if you love someone that much, you also need to save for yourself, you need to love yourself more. And now she has decided to leave her husband forever and start on her own again.

    He smiled bitterly before taking his small pouch and proceeded to exit her room.

    ¡°Oh I thought you changed and you don¡¯t want to leave anymore.¡± Cain said

    Jewel quickly grabbed the pillow that was on the sofa and threw it on him. ¡°And how did you say that?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s been over an hour! Let¡¯s go now before we¡¯ll bete on our flight.¡± Cain said and took our baggage.

    Jewel just shook her head and followed the young man.

    They arrived at the airport just in time. They will just wait 30 minutes before their flight. Jewel just sat quietly while waiting for Cain toe back to check in their luggage.

    Jewel just sighed as she looked around. She saw the two lovers talking happily, it looks like they are also going to another country. She could clearly see the great pleasure and love of the two for each other, if only it had been the same for her and Thunder.

    She stopped looking at the two couples when someone tapped her on the shoulder.

    ¡°You are looking at them, it¡¯s like you¡¯re going to melt them.¡± Cainughed

    ¡°Oh geez, just shut up!¡± she said

    Cain sat next to her. ¡°Are you not happy that I came back already? Aww, I¡¯m hurt.¡± the guy said

    She immediately pped him on the shoulder. ¡°You¡¯re really mean to me! You know what Cain, you don¡¯t need to do this. I will be fine alone. You don¡¯t need to go to Canada with me. I can manage, they might look for you and your friends will be surprised that you just left without letting them know.¡± I said in a serious tone

    ¡°Jew, I¡¯ve made up my mind. I¡¯lle with you, I won¡¯t be in Canada long, I just want to make sure you¡¯ll be okay.¡±

    I could have done nothing but nod. Knowing Cain won¡¯t give up.

    After 30 minutes we heard our flight was called. Can and I immediately stood up and walked together.

    Before I climbed up in the ne I looked around . I can¡¯t quite imagine that the day wille that I will leave this country. I just used to leave for a country only to have a vacation with my parents. Now it¡¯s different, I will leave to rebuild myself and I don¡¯t know when I wille back or if I will evere back.

    I let out a sigh before finally following Cain who had been waiting inside.

    ¡°I thought you changed your mind.¡± he eximed as we sat down

    ¡°How many times have I told you Cain, that my decision will not change. As far as I know you are the one who is excited that finally I will leave and now why do I feel like you are stopping me now?¡± I raised my eyebrow to him.

    ¡°As if it can stop you. You¡¯ve been thinking for a long time about leaving, not only because of what happened to you, but because you needed to, you should really leave before your husband find you.¡± he said

    I just ignored thest thing he said and fell silent. As if Thunder is going to look for me, I¡¯m sure he¡¯s happy now because I¡¯m no longer in his life. This is what he wanted to happen for a long time and now he has seeded, but I will not let him be happy while I have suffered because of what he did. ¨C She whispered in her mind

    The girl did not realize that she had fallen asleep thinking about things, the young man Cain was staring at her intently, since then he has considered Jewel as her sister so he is very sad because of what happened to the girl and for his bestfriend Thunder.

    I¡¯m wishing for your happiness Jewel. ¡® ¨C he whispered and closed his eyes.

    A few hourster, they woke up when they heard the pilot¡¯s voice, a signal that they had reached their destination. They waited a few more minutes before their ne finallynded.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.

    Until they got down and Jewel was still silent and the young man noticed it immediately.

    ¡°What are you thinking? Are you sure it¡¯s okay for you to live here in Canada?¡± He asked

    ¡°What kind of question is that Cain? We¡¯re already here.¡± she answered

    ¡°Looks like you¡¯re not happy.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re crazy! Of course I¡¯m happy that we¡¯re here in Canada, I just can¡¯t forget that I left the Philippines.¡± she saidughing

    The young man immediately put his arm around her. ¡°Alright! This is what you need, to rebuild yourself. You¡¯ve suffered enough Jew, it¡¯s time for you to think for yourself and be happy.¡±

    The girl smiled, her real smile that had long since disappeared since she married her husband.

    ¡°Just buy me food and I want sweets, please.¡± she said while pouting

    ¡°Again? You¡¯re rich but you¡¯re stingy!¡± He said

    ¡°Only my family is rich and I¡¯m not, okay? You are richer than me.¡±

    The young man just shook his head. ¡°Okay okay, We will buy your sweet food.¡± He said

    As they are talking they notice the two women near their side who had been looking at them.

    You¡¯re too loud!

    What? Am I? Just shut up, because of you their moment is ruined!

    But they are sweet right?

    I agree!

    The two looked at each other for a moment andughed because of what they heard from the two women. They are used to it and often many people think that they are lovers .

    They just ignored it and continued walking to pick up their checked in luggage.

 Chapter 17

    Jewel was currently stumbling to the floor as tears continued to stream down in her beautiful eyes, she was holding a pregnancy test that showed two red lines on it which means she¡¯s pregnant.

    Jewel couldn¡¯t believe that the indecency that her husband had done to her would bear fruit, she couldn¡¯t quite imagine how she would ept it that she will have a child, that would only remind her of the painful andplicated event in her past life.

    She was in such a state when the door of thefort room opened and it spat out her friend Cain which traces the concern of seeing him in such a state. She quickly hid the pregnancy kit in the back so that the young man could not see it.

    Cain approached her quickly and hugged her tightly. ¡°What happen Jew? Why are you crying? Are you sick?¡± she asked

    But the girl did not have the courage to answer her friend. The young man didn¡¯t say a word again and just let it go.

    After a few minutes he led the girl back to her room andid her down on the bed. ¡°Just take a rest Jew.¡± he said and covered the girl with a nket and stood up

    ¡°C-cain.¡± She called

    ¡°Sleep, you need to rest. I¡¯ll cook our lunch okay? Don¡¯t stress yourself.¡± he said while smiling

    The girl nodded in response.

    When her friend went out in the room already, Jewel just sighed while holding her small belly, ¡®I¡¯m sorry Cain, I don¡¯t know how to tell you yet.¡¯- she whispered to herself.

    She knew that she couldn¡¯t hide this thing because her friend would also notice it sooner. As for now it¡¯s not obvious because she¡¯s just a tiny girl so you won¡¯t notice that she¡¯s pregnant. She just didn¡¯t know how to tell it to Cain because she didn¡¯t want it to worry about her. Cain had helped her so much to the point that he had neglected his own life and work, so she did not want to add another problem.

    She slowly closed her eyes to sleep and could not imagine all that was happening to her.

    Cain POV

    I was already in the kitchen to prepare all the things I would need to cook our lunch. I left earlier because I met a friend of mine who lives here in Canada.

    I was so shocked when I got home that I couldn¡¯t see even Jewel¡¯s shadow. I searched all the corners of the condo but I didn¡¯t find her. I remembered that I hadn¡¯t checked thefort room yet so I hurriedly went in there. I didn¡¯t bother to knock anymore due to excessive concern. I found her crying and when I asked her what the problem was, she didn¡¯t answer and remained silent, so I didn¡¯t force her.

    As I was slicing the chicken my phone suddenly rang, I took it out of my pocket to see who was calling.

    Monique Calling ¡­..

    ¡°Oh why did you get called? Did you miss me?.¡± He said jokingly

    ¡°Damn you! I just want to ask again when I¡¯ll see the friend you¡¯re saying will live here in Canada? I¡¯m already excited.¡± the girl asked

    ¡°She¡¯s not feeling well right now so we might postpone it first.¡± I answered

    ¡°Hmp! Your deception! I guess you¡¯re just making me excited. Wait, is that really your friend or maybe your girlfriend?¡± She said as if she is using him

    He burst outughing. ¡°Why are you asking me that? Are you jealous? He asked whileughing

    ¡°Hey, how thick is your face? Me? jealous? The gorgeous and sexy me, will I get jealous? Don¡¯t make meugh, Cain.¡±

    Heughed even more at what his friend said. ¡°Don¡¯t deny it, I know you had a crush on me.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re too confident saying those things to me! You¡¯re such an asshole! Come back to your senses crazy man! ¡± traces in the girl¡¯s voice the annoyance

    ¡°Hahahahaha! It¡¯s just my friend, I don¡¯t hit married women.¡± He seriously said

    ¡°Huh? You mean she has a husband? She¡¯s married?¡±

    ¡°Yeah! I told you that she is married.¡±

    ¡°Is that so? Why is she here in Canada? Where is her husband? Why are you with him?¡± Her sequential questionOwned by N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Long story, as long as you don¡¯t talk about it when you¡¯re with her okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay okay I get it. What¡¯s your friend¡¯s name again?¡±

    ¡°Jewel.¡± I answered

    She stopped for a moment and could not speak when Cain mentioned Jewel¡¯s name.

    ¡°Hey! Are you still there? Is there anything wrong?¡± I asked

    ¡°Ah Y-yes I just took something.¡±

    ¡°So let¡¯s just set it next time? When she feels okay.¡± I said

    ¡°Sure sure no problem.¡±

    ¡°Gonna end this call nique, I¡¯m still cooking. See you around.¡± Cain said and dropped the call.

    On the other hand, there was a woman standing on the veranda, until now she had not forgotten what her friend had said. She had just called her to ask when they would meet again with her alleged friend.

    She almost got stoned as Cain mentioned the name of the alleged friend. Jewel, she almost poured cold water when she heard that name.

    She won¡¯t be relieved until she sees that Jewel. She wanted to be sure if there was only one Jewel she knew or not.

    ¡®Daven help me love, I don¡¯t know what to do if the Jewel I will encounter is the Jewel we know. I don¡¯t know how to deal with her by chance.- she whispered to herself.

    It¡¯s 12nn when Jewel wakes up so she gets up to look at her friend and she¡¯s already feeling hungry.

    When she came out of the room, she found Cain sitting on the sofa and watching TV. For a moment it turned to where she was.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake. Let¡¯s eat, I¡¯m really waiting for you to wake up.¡± Cain said

    ¡°How many hours did I sleep? Why didn¡¯t you wake me up?¡± I said

    ¡°Nah ah! Didn¡¯t I tell you, you need to rest so I didn¡¯t wake you up.¡±

    She sat down at the table in front of her friend. ¡°What happened when you met your friend?¡± she asked as she ced a ride on her te.

    ¡°We already met, it¡¯s a good thing that she¡¯s not busy.¡± Cain answered

    ¡°Has she lived here for a long time, too?¡±

    ¡°Not really, because she has a boutique here so she oftenes home to the Philippines.¡± He said

    ¡°She¡¯s also from the Philippines?¡± I asked in shock

    ¡°Yes, I met her 2 years ago.¡±

    Jewel just nodded and continued eating.

 Chapter 18

    Jewel and Cain quickly finished their meal because none of them spoke.

    They are now on the sofa and sitting side by side, Cain continues to watch tv while Jewel is holding her phone as if it were shing.

    ¡°Did you tell Calliyah everything?¡± Cain asked suddenly

    ¡°Yes, she knows I¡¯m here in Canada and I¡¯m with you, she really wanted toe here but she couldn¡¯t because Dark is always with her.¡±

    ¡°Dark has no ns of letting your friend go.¡± Heughing

    ¡°Because your friend is stupid. He will hurt my best friend and then chase her.¡± I said

    ¡°But look at them now, they got back together.¡±

    She just shrugged his shoulders and continued what he was doing,ter he also watched tv.

    As they focused on watching tv, Cain¡¯s phone suddenly rang, he immediately got it and looked at who the caller was.

    Jewel saw the young man look at her and she raised her eyebrow at him.

    ¡°Dark, why did you call?¡± Cain suddenly spoke

    Jewel immediately turned her gaze to him when she heard the caller¡¯s name.

    ¡°I¡¯m not there right now, I¡¯m on a business trip.¡± he even heard the young man say that which made him even more curious.

    Dark POV

    I didn¡¯t see Cain for a couple of months. I wondered where he was so I tried to call him .

    ¡°Have you talked to Thunder? I can¡¯t find him. Do you know where he is?¡± I asked him

    ¡°We haven¡¯t talked to him, I haven¡¯t been home yet. Why are you asking me that? You¡¯re the one in the Philippines.¡± Cain replied

    ¡°Ayts! I don¡¯t have any news about the two of you! You¡¯re both missing in action.¡± I said

    ¡°Wait, what? What do you mean missing in action? Where¡¯s Thunder?¡± Cain asked in a fit of confusion.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know! I don¡¯t even know where he is, he¡¯s not in thepany. Tito is in charge there right now.¡± I said in an irritation voice

    ¡°Do you know where he is?¡± He asked again

    ¡°Would I ask you if I know? Jerk! Probably not! Tito said he was on a vacation, but didn¡¯t say where.¡± I eximedN?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    ¡°Maybe he¡¯s just stressed at work, let him rest. He¡¯lle back soon¡±

    ¡°So, that¡¯s the only reason why I called you. Come back soon here! I don¡¯t have anyone to drink with.¡± I said

    He justughed before turning off the call.

    It¡¯s annoying that my friends suddenly disappear without saying goodbye.

    On the other hand, just as Cain dropped his phone, Jewel just stared at him.

    ¡°What¡¯s with that look?¡± He asked

    ¡°Why did Dark call you? What did he say?¡±

    ¡°Why are you curious about it Jew? Hahahaha.¡± Heughed

    Jewel got the pillow and immediately threw it at him.

    ¡°Hey! Stop it!¡± the young man shouted

    ¡°You¡¯re really going to get hurt if you answer my question asshole! What is it?¡± She said

    ¡°He¡¯s asking if Thunder and I have talked or if I know where it is.¡± Cain answered

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± She asked confused

    ¡°He has not been able to see or talk to Thunder these past months, he said he is not with thepany because Tito is in charge there now.¡± The young man exined

    ¡°Eh, where is he?¡±

    ¡°Are you that concerned about him? Hahahaha¡± Cain jokingly asked

    The girl pped him on the shoulder. ¡°You never really failed to pissed me off! I¡¯m just asking.¡±

    ¡°No one knows, Tito said he was on vacation but Dark doesn¡¯t know where.¡± He said

    Suddenly, the girl felt a twinge in her chest.

    ¡°W-what if he¡¯s here? What if he sees me?¡± She sudden question Cain

    The young man moved next to him. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much Jew, he can¡¯t find you, okay? Because if he¡¯s looking for you he should already know where you are. Knowing him? You know he can do it.¡± Cain assured her

    She just nodded.

    A few dayster, the young woman Jewel was always stunned by the loss because she had a problem with her pregnancy, she still could not ept that she was carrying the child as a result of her husband¡¯s sin.

    She wants to get rid of this child. She just can¡¯t find the right day because she¡¯s with her friend and the young man is not leaving so her stress increases even more because Cain might notice it soon.

    As she sat on the bed she thought of a way so she quickly left the room to go to it.

    She found her friend standing on the veranda so she approached it.

    ¡°Cain? Can you please buy me some medicine? I¡¯m not feeling well right now.¡±

    The young man immediately looked at him. ¡°What do you feel?¡± He questioned

    ¡°My head hurts, I¡¯ve run out of the medicine that you boughtst time.¡± I said in a teary eyed

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll buy you some. Just wait for me here and I¡¯ll be right back.¡± said the young man and left.

    Jewel quickly entered her room to do what she was nning.

    ¡®I¡¯m sorry Cain if I lied to you. This is the only way that I can do what I want to do. I can¡¯t let this child live in my womb .¡¯- she whispered

    She quickly made her bed and ced the pillow in the middle at the same time as she covered it with a nket as if it were a woman covered in it and sleeping.

    She went to the drawer near her bed and opened it. She was looking for something here and soon she found a bottle of medicine. She picked it up and stared at it carefully before finally carrying it into thefort room.

    When she got inside, she looked at her appearance in the mirror. Her eyes were full of sadness.

    She turned her gaze back to the bottle she was holding containing the medicine. ¡®I¡¯m sorry baby, forgive mommy. But it would be better if we lose than to live without love and aplete family. Forgive me c child¡¯- she whispered as she opened the bottle and took the medicines.

    She drank it quickly without hesitation as her tears flowed. ¡®Until we meet again baby.¡¯- she said while closing her eyes.

 Chapter 19

    The young man Cain happily returned to the condo unit because besides buying medicine, he found a stuffed toy and bought it to give to his friend Jewel because it is one of her favorites.

    When he arrived at the unit, he first put down the girl¡¯s stuffed toy and went straight to the kitchen to prepare soup for the girl so that she could eat it before taking the medicine. He didn¡¯tst long because he just bought ready to cook soup.

    When it had boiled he quickly transferred it to a bowl and ced it on the tray along with a ss of pineapple juice and medicine. He slowly brought it to the girl¡¯s room because they did not know if it was awake or asleep.

    When he arrived at the room, he firstid the tray containing food and medicine on the small table.

    ¡°Jew is awake, I prepared a soup for you to eat first before taking medicine to fill your stomach.¡± he said while sitting on the bed

    But he never heard any response from it. He moved a little further to reach it when he noticed something, he quickly removed the nket and saw that only the pillow was there and the friend was not there.

    He immediately stood up and looked around because he thinks Jewel is ying a trick on him. He waited a few more minutes but no image of Jewel came out. He nced at thefort room and walked closer to it.

    He tried to open the door but it¡¯s locked. He called his friend¡¯s name several times but he didn¡¯t get an answer, his chest was covered with nervousness. He knocked on the door several more times and dared his friend toe out but nothing happened.

    He ran out of the room to get the duplicate key of thefort room and when he saw it he quickly went back to Jewel¡¯s room. His hands were almost shaking as he opened the locked door.

    When he opened it and saw his friend lying on the floor unconscious, he noticed that the skin of the girl turned pale so Cain was even more scared.

    ¡°Hey Jew, wake up! Don¡¯t scare me like this. It¡¯s not funny.¡± he said as he patted her cheek.

    He quickly picked up the girl and hurried out of their condo unit. The people he meets are almost looking at them because maybe they are wondering what happened, fortunately there are staff of the condo building who also helped and called an ambnce.

    His chest almost throbbed with fear as they were in the ambnce to the hospital, he was holding the hand of the girl who was almost emaciated and her skin was pale.

    They quickly reached the hospital and immediately rushed the girl to the emergency room.

    The young man walked back and forth as he waited outside the emergency room. He did not know what to do at those times especially since his friend was on the brink of death.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    He just sat in the empty seat as fear continued to build in his chest, he did not know what really happened.

    It almost took how many hours but the doctor who was taking care of Jewel still didn¡¯te out so the young man felt even more nervous because of this.

    Two hourster when the emergency room door suddenly opened and lit up a doctor, Cain quickly stood up to greet him.

    ¡°Doc, how is the patient? Is she okay?¡± he asked

    The doctor nodded in response, causing Cain to be almost bitten by a thorn in his throat.

    ¡°She is now okay, same as the baby.¡± the doctor said

    The young man frowned at what he heard. ¡°What did you say? Did I hear it right? You said the baby?¡± he¡¯s perplexing question

    ¡°The patient is more than 2 months pregnant. It¡¯s a good thing that you brought her here right away, because if you bring herete, the patient¡¯s condition will be even more critical, especially the life of the baby.¡± exined by the doctor

    Cain could barely speak because of what he heard. He couldn¡¯t even say goodbye to the doctor because he seemed deaf to the news. After they talk, the doctor goes back inside to make sure the patient is well and moves her to a private room.

    While the doctor was taking care of Jewel, Cain took care of the documents and bills that had to be paid for it to be in order.

    He also didn¡¯t take long because he took care of it quickly, so he was able to return immediately to the room where the girl was moved.

    As soon as he entered the room where the girl was, he caught up with a doctor and nurse, it looked like they were still checking Jewel.

    ¡°How is she doc?¡± He asked

    ¡°They¡¯re in good shape Mr. Fuentabi, she just needs to rest. And hopefully she needs to avoid stress and think of things that can trigger her emotions.¡± doctor¡¯s reminded him

    ¡°I will take note of that Doc., About the food?¡± He asked again

    ¡°She needs to eat healthy foods, I¡¯ll also give you a prescription for the vitamins she needs and for the baby.¡±

    Cain immediately nodded in response to this, after several minutes the doctor excused himself that he needed to leave because he had another patient who needed to be attended.

    Cain just nodded and pulled the chair closer to the friend lying in the hospital bed. He didn¡¯t know if he would be angry or pity because of Jewel¡¯s situation, but he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little angry because of what the girl had done. The naive baby is almost affected by her selfishness.

    He understands if the girl didn¡¯t tell him right away but what he doesn¡¯t understand is what went into her mind why she did that terrible thing, why she almost killed her own baby.

    He was just caught in the senses because of frustration and thinking, what if he wasn¡¯t there? What if he didn¡¯te back? He didn¡¯t know what he would feel if something bad happened to Jewel, he would not forgive himself.

 Chapter 20

    Monique POV

    I¡¯ve been calling Cain how many times but he is not answering it. I thought we would have our lunch together with his friend but he is not answering my calls.

    Monique was so bored in her office that she wanted to go on a food trip because she had been busytely and only now did she have time again.

    As she was arranging sales reports for this month when her phone suddenly rang, she looked at it and saw Cain was the caller.

    ¡°Hey Cain! I¡¯ve been calling you multiple times.¡± she eximed after answering the call.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Nique, I rushed Jewel to the hospital that¡¯s why I wasn¡¯t avable to answer your call.¡± Cain exined on other line

    ¡°Why? What happened?¡± She asked.

    ¡°I don¡¯t really know what really happened yet, I just saw Jewel unconscious when I got back to our condo.¡± He said.

    ¡°I¡¯ming over there, send me the address. Okay?¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± he said as the call went down.

    After a few minutes my phone beeped and I received a message from Cain containing the address of the hospital where they were. I know how precious that Jewel is to Cain, I can see how he was worried about her and how he took care of her. I just hope that one day Cain will be like that to me.

    Unbeknownst to the young man Cain that Monique has feelings for him, since the death of her boyfriend Daven she thinks that she will never fall in love again, but when she meets this guy and bes friends with Cain Fuentabe she feels something towards the guy. At first she didn¡¯t pay attention to it because she still convinced herself that Daven was still the one she loved.

    Untilter, she proved to herself that she really likes the young man, she even visited Daven just to hang out. She knew that her ex -boyfriend would understand it if she fell in love with someone else because she knew that Daven would be happy seeing her happy and not mourning for the past.

    Monique had just finished what she needed to do before deciding to arrange her belongings and leave to go to the hospital, she knew Cain now needed sympathy.

    Jewel¡¯s POV

    I woke up with pure white I could see, I closed my eyes a few more times. And when I could see clearly, I knew where I was.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    I saw Cain staring at me intently now, I know that he was angry based on his stare at me as well.

    ¡°C-cain.¡± I called but I heard nothing from him.

    ¡°C-cain, I¡¯m sorry.¡± I nodded

    ¡°Why did you do that? Are you out of your mind?¡± restraint is obvious in his voice

    I could hardly look at him because I didn¡¯t know how to answer his question because even I myself didn¡¯t know why I did that thing.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were going to get to the point where you could kill an innocent child! That¡¯s your child Jewel! Your child is the one you want to kill!¡± He shouts at me

    I couldn¡¯t stop the abundant tears from flowing in my eyes. In the few years we have been friends, this is the first time that Cain got angry and shouted at me.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you thinking? What if the child didn¡¯t survive? Do you think you¡¯ll be happy? Do you think your conscience will put you to sleep because you killed someone? If Thunder is bad, what do you think you are? You¡¯re no different from him either! ¡± He added

    ¡°I-understand C-cain, please. D-do you think this t-thing is easy for me? D-do you think I like it?¡± I said

    ¡°Yes Jew, you did! Since the beginning I¡¯ve understood you, you know that, I haven¡¯t left you! But this decision you made, do you think I can understand you? No jewel! I can¡¯t understand your reason for killing an innocent child! I¡¯m so disappointed in you, and because of this I don¡¯t know if I even knew you or if you were my friend Jewel. ¡± His long statement then turned away

    I could barely speak, I just cried because I felt like my friend had left me also.

    I was in that position when the door opened, I thought Cain was back but no, a beautiful woman exposed herself to me while smiling.

    ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Monique, Cain¡¯s friend. He just went somewhere so he asked for a favor from me first to watch over you here.¡± She spoke modestly

    ¡°Nice meeting you,¡± I forced a smile. ¡°You don¡¯t need to do this, I¡¯m okay even if you don¡¯t watch me. I don¡¯t want to bother you.¡± I added

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I just want to meet you too.¡± She said

    I just nodded, because it looked like she had no intention of leaving.

    ¡°I heard about what happened to you, it¡¯s good that you and your baby are safe. I know what happened between you and Cain.¡± She said suddenly

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry about it, it looks like you¡¯ve heard of our fight.¡± I apologized

    ¡°Nah, It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s only natural for friends to have that conversation or misunderstanding and it¡¯s unavoidable. Don¡¯t stress yourself. You need to rest.¡±

    We talked a lot and she was the only one who was telling stories while I was just listening to her.

    Honestly, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on between and this girl, I feel like Monique has feelings for my friend based on what I can see in the joy and radiance of her eyes every time Cain¡¯s name is mentioned and so on to my friend it¡¯s obvious that he likes Monique by how he looks to her.

    I hope they will get along and be a couple soon. I can see that they will be great partners. And I also want Cain to be happy, he has done lots of things for me since the beginning and I¡¯m wishing for his happiness.

 Chapter 21

    A few dayster when Jewel¡¯s condition improved, this is also the day when she can leave the hospital and go home. During the few days she stayed there she was often with Monique, they also became close.

    She also stayed in the hospital for almost three weeks to make sure that her baby and I were really okay and in those days her friend Cain was ignoring her. She also tried to talk to him a few times but she was just like air to the young man.

    ¡°Did you fix your things?¡± Cain asked

    ¡°Yes I already did.¡± She answered

    ¡°Good, let¡¯s go.¡±

    Jewel could do nothing but just follow him, she has been used to him treating her like this since the incident happened to her.

    We had a quick trip and now we are here in the condo where we live.

    FASTFORWARD

    It¡¯s been two weeks since Jewel got out of the hospital, but they still Can continue ignoring her. She did everything just to talk to him but the young man always made excuses. She tried everything to approach him but it still looks like he is angry with her so she is very sad because of it. She also tried to cook his favorite food but the young man didn¡¯t even pay attention to it.

    Jewel is currently on the veranda to breathe fresh air. Cain is not there now because he apanied Monique and she didn¡¯t know where.

    While Cain and Monique were together in a restaurant, they had just finished attending a fashion event so before going home, they decided to eat first.

    As they waited for their order Monique suddenly spoke. ¡°Are you worried about her? Why don¡¯t you call her now?¡± she asked the young man who was busy fiddling with the phone as if someone wanted to call.

    The young man immediately put his phone down on the table. ¡°What are you saying? And who?¡±

    ¡°Cain you don¡¯t need to deny it. I know you¡¯re worried about Jewel.¡± Monique said

    ¡°Look Cain, I know I have no right to interfere in whatever problem you two have, but I think this is too much. It¡¯s been many weeks already but you¡¯re still not getting back to treating her as well as before.¡± Monique added seriously

    ¡°If you think I¡¯m mad at her, you are wrong Nique. I¡¯m just upset and at the same time disappointed. I know Jewel very well and I just don¡¯t expect her to be able to do that thing.¡± defense of the young man

    ¡°I get your point, okay if that¡¯s the case. But do you think she deserves your cold treatment towards her? She is doing everything to approach you, to please you but you¡¯re tough. She even cooked your favorite food but did you eat or taste it even a little? I bet you didn¡¯t. You are too much Cain. You are punishing your friend! You told me that Jewel is precious to you because she¡¯s like a sister to you but look at what you are doing to her. You¡¯re hurting her because of the way you treated her. You don¡¯t notice that she¡¯s often quiet, when we¡¯re together she distances herself. You don¡¯t notice that Cain because you feel more dominant with your feelings. ¡± Monique¡¯s lengthy statement

    ¡°Cain doesn¡¯t think that I¡¯m siding on her, but that¡¯s what I see. You¡¯re losing the one you used to have. Now she needs us, he needs you more as a friend and as a brother. Don¡¯t turn back to her. ¡± She added

    Cain was silent and did not say a word because he knew in himself that everything Monique said was right. He became selfish because he put his feelings before her friend.

    Their order arrived and they started eating. And when they finished they quickly left the restaurant, Cain even took some food to give it to Jewel.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Are you going home now?¡± Cain asked as they walked to the parking lot

    ¡°I¡¯ll be meeting my friends, can you just drop me off at the boutique?¡± Monique answered.

    The young man nodded and they got into the car together. It also took them about 30 minutes to arrive at the boutique.

    ¡°Thank you Cain! Be safe to drive and talk to Jewel.¡± She said as she waved her hand as a goodbye

    ¡°I will, I have to go.¡± the young man replied and he began to drive again.

    He quickly got to the condo, as soon as he entered he put the purchased food in the kitchen and went to Jewel¡¯s room to talk about it, but when he entered she did not find anything.

    He circled the entire corner of the condo, thinking that her friend was just there. He also called Jewel several times and sent her a message but she did not answer. He can¡¯t be bothered until he sees the girl.

    On the other hand, the girl was walking with mcdo, donuts and cakes. She is back in the condo now because she went out to buy food because she suddenly craved. She had nothing else to order so she decided to take the initiative to buy them for her. Unbeknownst to her, a friend had been looking for him and calling him. She didn¡¯t bring her phone.

    As soon as she entered their unit, she was immediately greeted by Cain¡¯s tight embrace.

    ¡°Ah C-Cain why?¡± She asked wondering because of her friend¡¯s action

    The young man immediately let go of the girl¡¯s embrace. ¡°Where did you go? I¡¯ve been looking for you.¡± He said

    The girl walked in andid her food on the table on the sofa. ¡°Because I was craving, so I went down first to buy this food.¡± Jewel replied

    ¡°You should have just called me, so that I will be the one to buy it for you.¡± Cain said

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I can still do it and walking is another exercise.¡± She saidughing

    The young man went to the kitchen to get the food he had brought for the girl, he transferred it to the te and he arranged it on the tray and walked back to the sofa where her friend was sitting.

    Heid it in front of the girl and she looked at him questioningly. ¡°Eat it, it¡¯s more nutritious.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to bother you anymore, you know there¡¯s still food here.¡± Jewel said as she bent down as if ashamed of the person she was talking to.

    The young man immediately sat down next to her, he had wanted to talk to her earlier because he knew thest conversation they had at the hospital was not good.

 Chapter 22

    Cain POV

    I was as if I woke up from a deep sleep because of what Monique told me, I wanted to help and understand Jewel so that she wouldn¡¯t feel alone but I added to her problem.

    And now that I was talking to her, she still remained bent over and not looking at me. She had been like this since I came home one day and she cooked food for me as a peace offering but I refused it and said I was full because I had finished eating.

    After that incident I noticed that she is starting to distance herself from me, I often saw her looking at me but she is always silent even Monique also noticed it. So I decided to talk to her so that we could get along. I don¡¯t want to go back to the Philippines and leave her here because we have a misunderstanding. I don¡¯t want to add to her stress because that will affect her and the baby.

    ¡°Jew,¡± I began and she immediately looked at me but only for a moment

    ¡°Can we talk? I know we have a misunderstanding. I don¡¯t want to prolong this.¡± I added

    She immediately caught my eye. ¡°I understand Cain, why you are like that to me, why you¡¯re angry. I know what I did was wrong and disrespectful then.¡± She replied

    ¡°I was just driven by my emotions, I was just too worried about you when I saw you unconscious and then I found out you were pregnant.¡± Cain said in a low voice

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Cain, I didn¡¯t think about how you would feel. You¡¯ve been there for me since the beginning. I was too rushed with my decisions and I didn¡¯t think those people around me would be affected. I almost killed my child. I was just too scared to face the fact that I was pregnant and Thunder was the father. I had already left, but destiny itself followed me. ¡±

    The young man moved a little towards the girl. ¡°The baby is still a blessing. Whatever problem you have with Thunder, the baby is out there. It was given to you so that you could be with someone.¡± I said

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, until now I still don¡¯t know what to do. It happens too fast. I¡¯m not stable yet, the dark past that happened to me hasn¡¯t healed yet and now this.¡± Jewel confessed.

    ¡°You¡¯re strong and I know you can do it. I will always be here for you and the baby.¡± I reassured to her

    She immediately nodded and smiled.

    ¡°Thank you, Cain! Thank you for everything. Thank you for all the things you¡¯ve done to me, without you and your help I wouldn¡¯t know what to do.¡± She said

    ¡°I will always do everything for you. You are not only my friend, but you are a sister to me.¡± I said smiling

    ¡°Oh! It¡¯s only for now, but when you will have a girlfriend for sure you¡¯ll be focusing on her.¡± Jewel said jokingly

    ¡°You¡¯re too advanced thinking that way. I don¡¯t want to enter into a rtionship for now .¡±

    ¡°Whatever you say, you thought I didn¡¯t notice that you and Monique had something.¡± She said simultaneously

    ¡°That¡¯s fake news! What are you talking about.¡±

    ¡°What you say is different from what your eyes are telling and showing.¡± She burst out

    ¡°It¡¯s up to you, just eat this and forget what you are thinking.¡± I said giving her the food

    ¡°You¡¯re really mean to me.¡± She said pouting while eating her fries

    ¡°Anyway Jew, after three days I¡¯ll be back in the Philippines. I need to attend the board meeting and it might take me a while to get back here. I have a lot of work to take care of in the office.¡± I suddenly said

    ¡°I told youst time that you can go ande back to the Philippines. Your job and life is there so you can¡¯t stay here for long just because of me.¡±

    ¡°Are you sure you¡¯ll be okay here? I¡¯m notfortable leaving you here alone, especially now that you¡¯re pregnant.¡± I said in a serious voice

    ¡°Cain, you¡¯re really crazy. I¡¯m okay here. Don¡¯t say that you want me to go back there also? Hahahaha.¡± She saidughing

    ¡°Monique will be here to apany you. She told me that she will always visit you here, just to make sure you are okay.¡±

    She immediately pped me on the shoulder. ¡°Monique is not a caretaker, you idiot! Don¡¯t worry about me and the baby. I¡¯m okay here, don¡¯t bother her anymore. She also has her own life and business that needs to be focused on.¡±

    ¡°As long as you need to always update me on what¡¯s happening to you, and if you¡¯re not feeling well, you go to the hospital right away or call Monique. You understand?¡± I reminded her

    ¡°Oo daddy! Hahahaha kidding. You¡¯re saying too much as if you will go now, there are still 3 days left before you go.¡± Sheughed while leaning on my shoulder

    ¡°Just take care of yourself and the baby. Continue your life Jew and be happy, you deserve it.¡± I said

    I didn¡¯t hear her answer as long as she just leaned on my shoulder with her eyes closed but I knew that she was listening to what I was saying.

    ¡°Are you sleepy? Come , I¡¯ll apany you in your room now.¡±

    She nodded in response, so I immediately helped her to the bedroom so that she could rest well.

    When we entered her room, she immediatelyy down. I turned on the aircon and sat on the side of her bed.

    ¡°Sleep now, you look tired because of walking earlier.¡± I ejacted as she looked at me

    She nodded and immediately closed her eyes.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    As I was watching Jewel I suddenly thought about how Thunder was, since I left with Jewel I have had no news of him, even Dark I have not talked to him until now, ourst conversation was when he called me a month ago.

    I want to hear Thunder¡¯s side, what really happened and why he did it to his own wife. I know Thunder I believe that he has no intention in hurting Jewel, I know they¡¯re not okay as a couple, but I believe he can¡¯t do this thing to Jewel without any reason.

    I hate him but he is still my best friend and doesn¡¯t want to be unfair or one sided. I know the hardship Jewel went through but I don¡¯t know what has been going on with Thunder in the past months we¡¯ve been gone.

    I believe he doesn¡¯t really hate Jewel, I know that somehow he also loves her because they have known each other for a long time even when we were kids, I just don¡¯t know why they are like this.

    I¡¯m wishing that the time woulde when they would be able to forgive and ept each other for their future child.

 Chapter 23

    Three days passed quickly, Jewel and Monique are now at the airport because this is the day Cain will leave and going back to the Philippines. At first, the young man didn¡¯t want the two to take him in the airport but Jewel insisted so in the end he didn¡¯t do anything but to agree.

    ¡°So, this is it! I¡¯ll leave you two for awhile, I need to go back to work. Don¡¯t miss me too much. Hahahaha¡± He said while facing the two woman.

    Monique only has a palm on her face because of the young man¡¯s windiness. ¡°Sometimes, please reduce the thickness of your face Cain.¡± She said

    ¡°If I know you¡¯ll miss me Nique.¡± He said to make the girl pissed even more.

    The girl just stared at him and turned to Jewel. ¡°Say goodbye to that jerk already so that he can leave already.¡±

    Cain justughed because of the girl¡¯s attitude, he walked closer to his friend. ¡°Be safe always Jew, take care of the baby. Always update me time to time.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me and the baby Cain. We¡¯ll both be careful, focus on the things you need to fix in the Philippines.¡±

    The three of them talked for a few more minutes before the young man¡¯s flight was called. He doesn¡¯t want to leave his friend but he has to go home because there is apany waiting for him and he still needs to talk to his two best friends.

    He said goodbye to the two girls and immediately walked away.

    Jewel POV

    When Cain left, we also left and decided to go to the mall first.

    Being with Monique is so much fun, you won¡¯t feel boring. We went to a few boutique shops, she wanted to buy things and clothes for my baby at first I didn¡¯t want to agree because Cain bought a lot but she insisted so I just let her.

    It also took us almost two hours when we finished buying thing. And since it was already twelve o¡¯clock at noon we decided to eat at a seafood restaurant, I suggested it to Monique to eat here because I suddenly felt cravings for seafoods, fortunately she also loves food like this.

    We also didn¡¯t wait long because the food we ordered arrived for about ten minutes only.

    While we were eating I noticed Monique pausing while looking at a dish served on the table.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong Monique?¡± I asked

    She immediately shook ber head. ¡°I just remember my boyfriend he loves seafoods too, especially shrimp.¡±Owned by N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°They¡¯re the same as my bestfriend, he also likes this. We often eat at seafood restaurants, sometimes with Calliyah who is also our friend.¡±

    ¡°Where is he now? Does he know about your condition?¡± Monique asked while eating

    I shook my head suddenly in response. ¡°He¡¯s gone, he died three years ago, and that¡¯s because of me. He saved me during those times.¡±

    I noticed Monique¡¯s hand tremble and quickly close her eyes. ¡°Hey, are you okay?

    She opened her eyes and sighed. ¡°Ah yes yes, Sorry about it.¡± She replied while smiling, ¡°Don¡¯t mind me, I¡¯m just thinking about something.¡± She added

    I nodded. ¡°About your boyfriend, you mentioned to mest time that he died. What¡¯s the reason? But if you don¡¯t want to talk about it, it¡¯s okay.¡± I said

    ¡°He saved someone, and because of that he died. He gave his life just to save that person.¡± She spoke bitterly

    I felt the pain with every word she uttered, if that happened to me I might not be able to handle it either.

    ¡°He¡¯s a good man, he chose to save others rather than himself.¡± I was amazed to what her boyfriend did. He is very kind.

    She smiled painfully, I just stopped talking and continued eating. When we finished, we went to a sweet cafe. We just order some sweets foods there and went home immediately.

    Monique just took me to the condo where I was staying and she also left immediately because she still had to go somewhere.

    Now that I¡¯m here in the suit I feel tired so I sat on the sofa first and turned on the tv to watch k-drama.

    I also took myptop that was on the table and opened it, as soon as I opened it, Cain¡¯s skype call weed me. I pressed it quickly to answer it.

    ¡°Finally you answer my call already, I¡¯ve been calling you several times since I came here.¡± He said to me.

    ¡°I just got home Cain, Monique and I went to the mall. Anyway how was your trip?¡± I asked him

    ¡°That woman is really a shopping monster. I just got home also, when I got here I went straight to thepany.¡± He answered

    ¡°Rest first Cain, you need that. I¡¯ll just sleep also I feel a little bit tired.¡±

    ¡°I will, I just called you before I¡¯ll rest. ¡°He said

    Our conversation didn¡¯tst long either, I know that he is tired too. Cain is really a sweet person. Even though he was in the Philippines, he still couldn¡¯t forget to checked on me, even though it was only a few hours since he left. The luck of the woman he will love in the future.

    After we talked I got up and went straight to my room to take a shower and change my clothes.

    I also spent about 30 minutes in thefort room before finally going out and sitting on the bed. Suddenly I felt like someone was flicking my stomach, I immediately caressed it. Until now I still can¡¯t believe that I¡¯m carrying a baby in my womb and in a few months I will be a full -fledged mother, if only Thunder and I had a good rtionship we would have beenplete and happy family now.

    I dismiss my thoughts about it, I shouldn¡¯t think about it anymore because it¡¯s impossible that it thing will happen and I already filed an annulment and it has already been fixed and she already has a signature on it and thewyer sent it to Thunder, So she was sure that her husband had already signed it.

    On the other hand there is a woman sitting in front of a garden holding a ss with a wine.

    ¡®It¡¯s been a year since you left us, you left me and until now I¡¯m still longing for your presence. I miss you kuya. I really do .¡¯- she whispered and sipped the wine.

    She turned her gazed to a photo on the table, she quickly picked it up and stared at it carefully. The expression on her face immediately changed because of the woman in the photo. Anger and hatred can be seen in her.

    We will meet soon Jewel and when that timees I will make sure you will pay for everything. I will make you suffer twice the pain I suffered, because of you I lost one of the most important person in my life.¡¯ ¨C weakly but emphatically she pointed to the picture and she crumpled it up and threw it in the trash.

 Chapter 24

    The days passed quickly and now Jewel is now extra careful in everything she does, because she knows she will give birth anytime. She is often in the condo and doesn¡¯t go out much because it is difficult for her to walk and she also gets tired quickly.

    In the past few months, Monique has been always with her, they have be even closer to each other, sometimes the girl sleeps in her unit. While Cain, on the other hand, still managed to call everyday to make sure that she is okay. And also for the past months Monique and Cain became a couple.

    Jewel is now here in the terrace of her unit, she often walks here to breathe fresh air. As she looked at the huge buildings when she suddenly felt that her stomach ached, she quickly sat in the chair but as time went on she was in excruciating pain until she felt like there was liquid dripping down her thigh. She cried out in extreme pain and didn¡¯t know what to do.

    Monique POV

    As the elevator opened I quickly went out and excitedly walked towards Jewel¡¯s unit, I was carrying a variety of choctes that I bought earlier when I passed in a sweet cafe on my way here. I know that she will be happy because she loves to eat like this.

    While I was in front of the door of her unit I suddenly felt nervous for no apparent reason,ter on I heard an ented shouting from inside so I inserted the card in the door and opened it, I quickly walked into the unit to look for Jewel.

    When I saw her on the terrace and writhing in pain while holding onto her stomach, I immediately attended to her. ¡°Jewel what happen?¡± I asked incredulously.

    ¡°Nic, I-I¡¯m going to give birth.¡± She answered while in pain

    ¡°Oh My God! Just wait, I¡¯ll call for help. Hold on.¡± I said and quickly run out to seek for a help. She had to ask for help because she could not lift the girl.

    Just as she exited she saw two male staff of the condo. She quickly asked for help with them.

    Jewel was immediately taken to the ambnce and Monique didn¡¯t know what to do because she could see that the girl was having a hard time and was hurting. She held her hand tightly.

    ¡°Hold on Jew, in any minute we will be in the hospital.¡± She said,

    A few minutester they reached the hospital. Jewel was quickly rushed to the delivery room.

    Monique kept going back and forth because of the nervousness she was feeling, so she called Cain to let him know what had happened to Jewel. She knew that Cain would book a flight back to Canada right away.

    As she waited outside the delivery room her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up quickly thinking it was Cain who called but she was disappointed to read the caller¡¯s name.

    ¡°Hello.¡± she greeted after answering the call

    ¡°What¡¯s the news Monique? How are you?¡± the female voice on the other line asked

    ¡°As I told youst week Marga, it¡¯s still the same.¡± She replied

    ¡°Goodjob Monique! Just continue your friendship with that woman .¡±

    ¡°Marga, do you think this is right? We can stop pursuing this n. We both know it¡¯s not her fault.¡± I insisted

    ¡°Of course this is the right thing to do, Monique! What¡¯s wrong with you, huh? She¡¯s the one to me for everything, for what happened to him. Don¡¯t ruin the long -established n we have. You will help me with everything right?¡±

    ¡°Y-yes Marga, I will always help you.¡± I answered weakly

    ¡°I knew it! I know you¡¯ll help me. I thought you were going to trade me for that woman.¡±

    She sighed before answering. ¡°I won¡¯t do that Marga, you know how precious and important you are to me.¡±

    Their conversation didn¡¯tst long either.

    When she dropped the call, she just sat on the chair near where she was. She no longer knew what to do. In the past months that she met Jewel he knew the girl was kind and she couldn¡¯t afford to see the girl hurt, but the woman she was talking to was also important to her and she couldn¡¯t leave her on the air just like that.

    Her mind was in turmoil and she didn¡¯t know what to do anymore. She knew by the time Cain found out everything she was sure it would make him angry and the young man might not forgive her.

    In the past month Cain and Monique have improved, it¡¯s been 4 months since they became in a rtionship. So she just feels so scared when Cain finds out what secret she is keeping. She loves the young man so she doesn¡¯t know what to do when that day happens because by chance she might lose the young man forever and that¡¯s what she fears.

    While Monique was deep in thought when the delivery room suddenly opened and it spat out a nurse with a baby, she quickly approached it. ¡°Ms. Is that the patient¡¯s child inside? How¡¯s the mother?¡± She asked.

    ¡°Yes Ms. She¡¯s resting right now because she¡¯s so tired. She¡¯s a brave woman.¡± the nurse responded while smiling.

    The nurse said goodbye for a while because they were going to wash and fix the child. She was relieved because she knew that the mother and daughter were in good condition.

    After two hours, Jewel was moved to a private room so that she could rest more. Until now she¡¯s been conscious.

    Monique is also here in the Jewel¡¯s room and she is carrying the baby. She was happy because Jewel was able to give birth to a very handsome child.

    As she yed with the child she noticed Jewel¡¯s eyes widened, she immediately approached it.

    ¡°How are you?¡± she asked while still carrying the baby.

    The girl smiled at her. ¡°I¡¯m okay, is that my baby?¡± She asked

    ¡°Yes, this is it, he¡¯s cute and handsome. The doctor wille back hereter to ask the baby¡¯s name, because I didn¡¯t answer when he asked me because it¡¯s better if you will be the one to give his name.¡± She said as she handed the baby to Jewel

    Jewel felt so happy that she could hardly stop the tears from flowing in her eyes when she saw and touched her child, even though she suffered a lot in the past still she was given a precious blessing.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

 Chapter 25

    4 Years Later ¡­

    A young woman was now descending the ne, followed behind her by another woman holding a cute little boy in her left hand.

    ¡°Jew, hurry up, Cain is very excited, as if he hadn¡¯t been with us for a long time, he just came home here two weeks ago.¡± Monique¡¯sint

    ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry Nic, if I know you just miss Cain.¡± She is teasing her friend

    The girl just started her and continued walking.

    The decision to go back to the Philippines was not easy for Jewel, and if it wasn¡¯t for Cain¡¯s insistence, especially Calleigh, her best friend, she wouldn¡¯t have agreed to go back.

    ¡°Mom, are we now in the Philippines?¡± the little boy asked

    ¡°Yes baby, you will see your papa ninong and tita ninang already and also your grandma and grandpa.¡± Jewel smiled back at the child.

    Her son is only three years old but you can see that he is smart, he is also straightforward when he speaks, and he knows how to speak tagalog. If you look closely at him it is undeniable that he has a resemnce to his father as well as temperament.

    As they were walking through the airport they suddenly heard a resounding voice that they knew who it was.

    ¡°Mercyl!¡± the voice shouted

    Her best friend quickly approached where they were standing. ¡°I miss you so much.¡± She said Jewel embraced her.

    ¡°I miss you too, Calleigh.¡± she smiled and hugged her friend back

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry if I didn¡¯t get to go there with you, Dark is suspicious of me going to Canada often. So I chose not to go first. Oh hi Monique.¡± she greeted the girl as she let go of Jewel¡¯s hug

    ¡°Hi Calleigh. You look fresh.¡± Monique¡¯s teased her

    ¡°I thought I looked stressed.¡± She joked

    Cali turned her eyes to the little boy who had been staring at her. ¡°How was your flight baby boy? I miss you!¡± she said and hugged him.

    ¡°Hi tita ninang, It¡¯s fine. I miss you too.¡± the child replied. ¡°Where is papa ninong?¡± He added

    ¡°He¡¯s in thefort room baby, we¡¯ll just wait for him here.¡± answer it

    The boy immediately nodded when suddenly someone sneezed at their side.

    ¡°Hey buddy.¡± The voice greeted

    The boy quickly let go of Calleigh¡¯s hold and quickly went to where Cain was.

    ¡°Papa ninong I miss you.¡± he said as the young man lifted him up

    Immediately, Cain walked toward them while the child was being lifted up.

    He approached Jewel and he kissed her on the cheek before approaching his girlfriend and kissing her on the lips.

    They didn¡¯t stay there long because it was close to lunch so they decided to eat at a nearby restaurant before going home to rest.

    FASTFORWARD

    Jewel¡¯s Mom POV

    It was almost afternoon when Jewel and her son arrived at their house, their parents immediately greeted them. Cain delivered them but he also left immediately with his girlfriend Monique, while Calleigh was the first to leave because she and Dark were still going somewhere.

    ¡°Jewel, Can you and my grandson stay her already?¡±Her mother pleaded

    ¡°If you want mom, Storm will be here with the both of you and I will be the one to return to Canada.¡± Jewel replied

    ¡°You can just work here for ourpany iha.¡± her father seconded.

    ¡°Dad, I love my work there. You know that I want to be sessful in the field of my choice and work on my own. I have a restaurant in Canada that needs me. ¡± she replied to the father and looked at his son as he was busy ying, he really looks like his father.

    Then suddenly entered in her mind what she had done before when she found out she was pregnant. She knows she did the wrong thing to have abortion but you can¡¯t me her because everything she went through was too painful for her. When she gave birth to Storm, she had a hard time and Monique was there to support her as well as her friend Cain.

    She also finished her studies and became a full -fledged chief. She also built a restaurant in Canada and ns to build a branch here in the Philippines. She has also been a model for almost a year in the newly released clothes of Monique¡¯s boutique. Her son Storm¡¯s life went smoothly and stable.

    As the days went by she became busy with her work so she decided to look for a nanny for her son so that someone would take care of him.

    ¡°What are you saying? You are leaving my grandson here. Are you sure about it, Jewel?¡± her mother asked again.

    ¡°Eliza please take Storm upstairs first, we¡¯ll just talk here.¡± Jewelmanded Storm¡¯s nanny.

    Storm immediately looked at his mother as if he understood what she was saying. He is a smart kid and at the age of three he can quickly grasp things. It¡¯s also straightforward when he is talking to someone. Sometimes he also has a puffiness that was taken from his father.

    Storm quickly approached him. ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want to go upstairs.¡± the little boy said and hugged her

    She was surprised by what the boy did.

    ¡°Mom, if you go back to Canada, I¡¯lle with you. I don¡¯t want you to leave me here.¡± Storm added

    ¡°Just go to your room, okay? I will just talk to your grandma and grandpa. You go to your nanny first.¡± Jewel said, prompting Eliza to take Storm.

    Eliza quickly followed and approached the boy, he whispered something to him and immediately went with her upstairs.

    ¡°What are you thinking Jewel? Why would you leave your son here?¡± her mother said after her grandson left.

    ¡°Mom, that¡¯s what you want right? But I can¡¯t stay here for long. That¡¯s why I said I¡¯ll just leave Storm with you.¡± She said

    ¡°How can you say you¡¯re going to leave your child here? Your daddy and I didn¡¯t raise you to be like this. That¡¯s your child Jewel!¡± Her mother emphasized .

    ¡°Mom I love my son, I love Storm. I won¡¯t leave him here for nothing. You think I don¡¯t care? Mom, I care.¡± she defended herself

    ¡°You love your son? We all know that your love for your son is notplete. Don¡¯t y games with us Jewel.¡± her mother said in her angry voice

    ¡°And what do you think I should do mom? You know what I¡¯ve been through, it¡¯s not easy for me to have a child especially whenever I see Storm I can see Thunder in him.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m so disappointed in you Jewel. You almost aborted him back then and now you are nning to leave him here?¡± her father voice of disappointment

    ¡°I know dad, I know what I did was wrong then but can you me me during those times? I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m going to do, just the thought of carrying Thunder¡¯s child is giving me a hard time. But I corrected it. I raised the child! I cared and loved my son.¡± she exinedN?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    ¡°You just raised, fed and gave him everything he wanted, Jewel. But you know in yourself you have many shorings in your child. You know you have ack of care and love to him¡± her father said

    ¡°Remember this Jewel, he¡¯s not Thunder! Don¡¯t me the child for his father¡¯s mistake. You and Thunder have a problem, Storm is out there.¡± her the mother said angrily

    ¡°You¡¯re changing little by little, your anger is eating you. Do you want to go back to Canada alone? All right, go back and leave Storm here so that my grandson can feel the true love that you can¡¯t give him in full, you know what if you can¡¯t love your sonpletely, give him to his father.¡± her mother added before leaving and went upstairs.

    Jewel just sat down. She didn¡¯t expect this to happen.

    ¡°Fix your life my daughter, Storm doesn¡¯t deserve it. He needs a mother who will love him wholeheartedly.¡± her father added before following her mother

    ¡®What have I done wrong? I give everything to my son. Yes, I know sometimes I have shorings too, but I can¡¯t bear to be with Storm for a long time or often because he grows up to look like Thunder, but even so, he still loves his son. ¡® ¨C she thought to herself

 Chapter 26

    To the extreme frustration that Jewel felt when she first left their house, she thought of going to a bar. She was angry with her parents because she thought they would understand her. Before she left their house, she wanted to call Calleigh to apany her when she suddenly remembered that her best friend was two months pregnant. She also didn¡¯t want to disturb her friend Cain because she knew he was with Monique, she didn¡¯t want to ruin the moments of the two. Cain has done too much for her and her son and she wants Cain to be happy and focus on what he has now.

    So she decided to go to the bar. She ordered tequ many times. ¡°One ss of tequ again.¡± she said to the bartender, here she is sitting at the bar counter

    After one minute her order arrived. She noticed someone sitting in the chair next to her but she didn¡¯t pay attention to it. ¡°Hi gorgeous. Are you alone?¡± the guy asked her

    She just ignored it and continued drinking.

    ¡°Hey, I¡¯m asking you.¡± the guy said

    She immediately started to tell him. ¡°Did you see someone with me? So why asking the obvious.¡± She said

    The man next to him justughed. ¡± I¡¯m just asking, just chill okay? You know it¡¯s sad to drink alone.¡± he stated

    ¡°Why do you care? I¡¯ll drink whenever I want, and so if I drink alone.¡± Jewel objected

    Later she felt dizzy but she still did not stop drinking. She ordered a few more times, at first the man next to her tried to stop her but Jewel just red at him.

    After she drank herst order she stood up and walked onto the dance floor. Almost everyone she passes looks at her, who wouldn¡¯t? She is a goddess! When she reached the center of the dance floor she started dancing, while the people around her came back to their senses and continued dancing again.

    She just dances and dances as if she doesn¡¯t care about those people around her. Many men also approached her to dance. As she continued to swing a strong force pulled her away from the dance floor.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    She angrily threw away the hand of whoever was already holding her. ¡°Let me go! Why are you pulling me, huh? What¡¯s your problem?¡± she shouted angrily.

    ¡°Are you out of your mind? Do you still know what you¡¯re doing huh? The men around you almost want you but you just don¡¯t seem to care! Are you for real?¡± the man shouted back to her

    ¡°Can you mind your own business! Don¡¯t mess with me, it¡¯s my life. So leave me alone! I don¡¯t know you.¡± she said, her sight went blurb now that¡¯s why she can¡¯t clearly see the face of who she was talking to.

    ¡°You¡¯ve changed a lot Jewel.¡± the man said

    Jewel can¡¯t quite figure out who it is because maybe she¡¯s drunk. She just turned her back on the man when she suddenly got out of bnce, fortunately the man moved quickly and caught her.

    The man quickly picked her up and took her out of the bar. The girl would haveined but she couldn¡¯t do it because she was so drunk that she gradually closed her eyes while she was carrying a load of a man she didn¡¯t know.

    When they got out of the bar the man put her in his car and quickly drove away from the area.

    The next morning Jewel woke up with a severe headache, but she was surprised to look across the room and her eyes widened realizing it wasn¡¯t her room. She had in mind that this is not their house, which means she didn¡¯te homest night.

    She quickly searched for her small bag and found it on the bed side table, she quickly picked it up and searched for her phone to call her parents so that they would not worry about her, she called her parents number for how many times but she didn¡¯t get any answer so she just thought of sending a message to them.

    Jewel almost hit her head because of what happened, she was so drunk that she didn¡¯t realize that she had another roommate and she went to another condo. She stood up to tour the room to find out if the owner was still here, she heard a ssh of watering from thefort room and it looked like whoever was with her was taking a bath.

    She came out of the room and she was walking carefully so she couldn¡¯t make any noise. She noticed the frame on the table where the sofa was, out of curiosity she came over there to see who was in the frame. Her eyes almost popped out when she saw who was in the picture and then she realized who this condo belonged to.

    ¡®T -thunder¡¯ ¨C she almost stuttered

    She hurried back to the room to get her belongings, she entered it carefully and when she was sure that the young man was still taking a bath, she immediately went in and took her bag.

    She did a lot of running just to get out of that unit. With the dynamic number of men she can be with at the bar, she doesn¡¯t think that the man she hates will be with her.

    She doesn¡¯t want to see Thunder, but it looks like destiny is really ying tricks on her becausest night she¡¯s with the man that she doesn¡¯t want to see even in her dreams.

    When Jewel got out of the building, she immediately took a taxi. She wanted to get further away from that ce because she felt like she was choking. She was very grateful that the young man was taking a bath when she woke up because she did not know how to deal with it, she knew in herself that she was not ready to see Thunder.

    ¡®It looks like my decision to go back to her in the Philippines was wrong¡¯ ¨C she whispered in her mind.

 Chapter 27

    When she arrived at their house, she quickly got out of the taxi. Until now, she is still very annoyed when she thinks about who she was with in that condo.

    When she entered their house, she immediately went straight to her room to take a bath and get dressed but before that she went first to her son¡¯s room to peek at it and saw that he was still sound asleep. She immediately closed the door of the child¡¯s room.

    After she tidied herself up it went down, she found her parents eating so she immediately sat down to share with them.

    ¡°Good morning Jewel, where were youst night? Why didn¡¯t youe home?¡± her mother asked

    ¡°Good morning mom, dad! I was with Calleighst night. We just bonded, you know we haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time, she said I¡¯ll just spend the night there. I¡¯m sorry if I didn¡¯t call right away to let you know. ¡± she exined

    Her parents immediately nodded at what she said.

    As she was eating she noticed her father staring at her. ¡°Why dad? Do you want to say something?¡± she asked

    ¡°About what you said yesterday, are you really sure about it? Your mom and I talked about it and we decided that Storm will be studying here.¡± her father said directly

    She suddenly felt strange sadness. She was just thinking that leaving her child here was as if someone had flicked something in her chest. She wanted to protest but someone seemed to be holding her back.

    ¡°If that¡¯s what you want, then it¡¯s fine with me.¡± She answer

    Her parents quickly looked at each other, obviously surprised by her answer.

    They finished their breakfast and Jewel immediately stood up and went upstairs. She re -entered in her son¡¯s room, who was still asleep.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    She sat on the side of her bed and remained just staring at the child. The son knew what really happened between her and his father Thunder, his son was smart so he easily understood everything. A few more minutes passed before Jewel decided to go out, she picked up herptop and carried it to the swimming pool area.

    She wanted to look at the sales of the restaurant that she owned in Canada. She spent almost how many hours working and did not realize that it¡¯s already two o¡¯clock in the afternoon. She put away her belongings when suddenly a small hand gripped her hand.

    ¡°Mom, this is for you.¡± her child once handed her a bowl of cookies.

    ¡°Grandma help me bake that, she said you love cookies.¡± he added

    ¡°Thank you for this Storm, did you eat your lunch already?¡± She asked

    ¡°Yes mom, I already finished eating.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good. Always don¡¯t skip your meal, okay?¡±

    The boy immediately nodded. ¡°Eat that cookie mom, Don¡¯t stress yourself too much especially at work. I love you mom.¡± He said and turned around to go back in the house

    She just looked at her son and smiled.

    While she was eating the cookies her cellphone rang, she immediately took it and answered.

    ¡°Hello, what is it Julie?¡± she asked

    Julie is one of the managers in her restaurant. She is also a Filipina so she trusted her so much.

    ¡°I¡¯ve been calling you since yesterday Ma¡¯am, but you are not answering it. We have a client, it looks like the bride is rich because our restaurant is the one they want to cater for their wedding, they want to talk to you in person. ¡°Julie exined.

    ¡°Do they know that the main branch of our restaurant is in Canada? No one will fix that there because I haven¡¯t been back yet. I can¡¯t talk to them in person.¡± She said

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it Ma¡¯am the client is from the Philippines and I¡¯m sure you can meet and talk to them.¡±

    ¡°Them? And why did they choose our restaurant, when they know we¡¯re based in Canada and just nning to build a branch here soon.¡± I asked

    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am she¡¯s with her fiancee. That¡¯s probably what the bride wants so even though we¡¯re in Canada they want our restaurant to cater and they¡¯re willing to pay no matter how much.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s weird. Anyway, just schedule the meeting tomorrow if they are free so I can talk to them.¡± Imanded

    The next day Jewel woke up early because she had a meeting with a client. Until now, she still can¡¯t understand why they chose them even though there are many good restaurants here in the Philippines. Well, it¡¯s not hidden from his knowledge that her restaurant is also well-known, almost exclusively professional chefs also work here so she won¡¯t be surprised if even here in the Philippines they know about her restaurant.

    She just dressed simply and wore a peach sleeveless dress and covered it with a zer. She also wore ck heels. And when she made sure she was ready to go, she took her bag and a folder containing their sample menus that the bride and groom could choose from.

    He also soon arrived at a cafe where they would meet a client. He went straight to where the reservation Julie had told him was.

    When he got to the room he saw a beautiful woman sitting there as if waiting for someone, he immediately approached her.

    ¡°Hi Ms. Suarez goodmorning. I¡¯m Jewel, the owner of Storm Fancy Restaurant.¡± he greeted her with a smile

    ¡°Goodmorning, it¡¯s nice to finally meet you. Have a seat. Let¡¯s order first before we talk.¡± back greetings from the woman

    Jewel sat down and immediately someone approached their waiter. They ordered something to eat and just waited for it to arrive.

    ¡°I heard too much about your restaurant. My mom used to be in Canada for business and she said that your dishes and desserts are the best.¡± introduction of his client

    ¡°I think your mom is one of the VIPs there. Just yesterday my manager sh my secretary called me about you and I never thought you were here in the Philippines. So I was overwhelmed that you want us to cater for the wedding. You, I¡¯m thinking because there are more well -known and famous restaurants here but you still prefer us, knowing that it¡¯s in Canada. ¡± Jewel¡¯s promise

    ¡°Well, I want my wedding to be the best. So I really researched good restaurants and it happened that mom rmended your restaurant to me.¡± anas of the woman.

    Here¡¯s the folder where our best sellers¡¯ foods and desserts are there for you to choose from.

    ¡°Oh that¡¯s nice. Is it okay if we wait for my fiancee for a while? He will be here any minute.¡± the girl said.

    ¡°Sure no problem Ms. Suarez.¡± Jewel replied with a smile

    Later, their order arrived so they decided to eat first while waiting for the girl¡¯s fiancee.

    As they ate they continued to talk about the foods.

    ¡°Ahm, Jewel can you choose me about the foods and desserts? You know, I trust you more because you are the owner of it. I know you will rmend best dishes to us.¡± asking the maiden¡¯s favor

    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll show you our best desserts that you and your guests know you¡¯ll like.¡± its smiling response

    They were in the middle of a conversation when suddenly someone spoke behind Jewel.

    ¡°Am Ite?¡± a man¡¯s voice.

    Jewel almost swallowed a few times when she heard that voice.

    ¡°Babyyyy, it¡¯s good and you¡¯re here.¡± Celine smiled

    ¡°Jewel this is Thunder, my fiance and soon to be husband.¡± its introduction to him

    He wanted to be embarrassed because of what he saw in the two

    Thunder sat in the empty seat next to Celine and almost smoked his nose because of the flirting of the two in front of him.

    Why are you affected there? You¡¯re mad Jewel, you¡¯re mad. ¡°

 Chapter 28

    Earlier, Jewel was very annoyed because of what her two eyes could see. It seems like she just wants to leave because it looks like the two in front of her have no intention of talking about catering things.

    ¡°Ahm. Ms. Celine if you don¡¯t mind I need to go now. I have something important to attend too. Let¡¯s just set another meeting for the foods and desserts.¡± she said

    ¡°Why do we have to set another day when we can talk now. You know Ms. Jewel I¡¯m a businessman, I¡¯m a busy person so I don¡¯t want to waste my time.¡± Thunder groaned

    She almost killed her ex-husband in her mind because of what he was saying, as if he wanted to show that he was wasting his time, they were wasting his time.

    ¡°Mr. Alcantara if you are a busy person I am too. You are not the only one who is scheduled to have a meeting with me today, so I suggested that we should set this meeting on another day because I have another meeting right now.¡± she insisted and turned her gaze to Celine who was also looking at her. ¡°You can call me Ms. Suarez if you are ready to set another appointment¡± she said smiling and the girl immediately nodded and smiled.

    She returned the sample photos to the folder and quickly stood up to leave that ce, she couldn¡¯t bear to stay there any longer.

    That Thunder really warms her blood. She¡¯s really pissed off.

    She immediately took a taxi to go home, the truth is that she really didn¡¯t have any other meetings because her restaurant was not located here.

    While she was in the taxi she suddenly remembered her best friend Calleigh, she immediately took her phone out of her bag and called her.

    It was only three times when someone answered. ¡°Hi best friend.¡± the other line greeted

    ¡°Hello Calleigh, how are you?¡± she asked

    ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m just here at home because this Darkness doesn¡¯t want to let me out. Duh! I¡¯m only two months pregnant.¡± she growled.

    I can¡¯t help butugh because of my friend¡¯s attitude. ¡°Just understand Dark, he just doesn¡¯t want you to get tired. Anyway, I¡¯ll just go there now.¡± She said

    ¡°Really? All right, all right. I¡¯m already shaken by Dark¡¯s face. And another thing Jew, bring me some food, huh?¡±

    ¡°Yeah! Just wait for me there. Okay? I¡¯ll hang up now.¡±

    After she talked to her friend she put the phone back in her bag and told the driver to take her to the mall.

    When she arrived at the mall, she immediately went straight to a shop that was full of sweets. She knew this was what her friend wanted. When she finished choosing what to buy she quickly paid it at the counter and left.

    When she left the mall, she took a taxi again and told the driver the address. In less than 30 minutes she arrived in front of Dark¡¯s house so she quickly gave the payment to the taxi driver and got off.

    She only rang the doorbell three times when Dark¡¯s face popped up in front of her as he opened the door for her.

    ¡°Hi Jew, your friend has been waiting for you.¡± the young man said to her.

    ¡°Hello Dark, how are you, did Calleigh stress you already?¡± She said jokingly

    As soon as she entered, she was met by a running friend. ¡°Hey careful.¡± Dark shouted at Calleigh but she didn¡¯t even pay attention to her boyfriend.

    ¡°I miss you Jew!¡±

    ¡°I miss you too Calleigh! I bought you your favorite sweet foods.¡± I said and give her the foods I bought

    Immediately her eyes lit up. ¡°Thank you for this Jew.¡±

    The two friends are currently talking friends while Dark is just listening intently,ter on suddenly someone rang the doorbell again. Dark immediately stood up to open up to whoever came.

    When Dark left Jewel stared intently at her friend Calleigh who was enjoying the food she had bought. She couldn¡¯t help but smile because her friend had finally seen the true love in Dark¡¯s persona and even gave them a gift that would make them aplete family.

    Later they heard footsteps approaching where they were.

    ¡°Hey Jewel, are you here too? What a coincidence.¡± she heard a familiar voice.

    When she looked back she saw Celine appeared in front of her smiling while the man she didn¡¯t want to see was behind Celine.

    ¡°I just visited my friend.¡± Jewel answered

    The two sat in the empty seat in front of her, which made her more annoyed.

    ¡°By the way Jewel, are you going to stay here in the Philippines?¡± Dark suddenly asked.

    ¡°I¡¯m nning to leave and go back to Canada next week, but suddenly I got a client here who wants us to cater for their wedding. So maybe I will extend my stay here, but I¡¯m gonna send my other staff here so they can take care of it so that I can go back to Canada. ¡± She exined

    ¡°Who is that client of yours? Did they know that your restaurant is not here in the Philippines?¡± Dark asked

    ¡°Yeah, who¡¯s going to get married? It looks special.¡± Calleigh seconded.

    Jewel immediately looked at the two people in front of her.

    ¡°Ask them.¡± She said

    The two looked at Thunder in confusion.

    Didn¡¯t Dark know that his best friend was getting married?- Jewel thoughtOwned by N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re getting married again? Did you two get back together again?¡± Calleigh asked in disbelief

    She felt embarrassed because of what her friend had said.

    ¡°What are you saying Cali? I will never let the past happen to me again. Never again.¡± she said sharply while looking at Thunder

    She also saw that pain in the eyes of Thunder as she said those words.

    ¡°Celine will be her bride.¡± Jewel said in a bitterness tone

    She immediately picked up her belongings and stood up. ¡°I need to go guys, I have some important matters. Nice to see you again.¡± she approached Calleigh and kissed her on the cheek

    Before she could finally get out of the door, Dark was still saying some things but she didn¡¯t clearly hear what they were.

 Chapter 29

    Thunder¡¯s POV

    Three days have passed since he and his wife, Jewel, crossed paths again. He knew in himself that he is so stupid during the times they were still together under the same roof.

    In the four years that have passed there has not been a day that he has not med himself for why he finally lost his wife. He knew what he had done that night was wrong, but can you me him? His emotions just carried him to the extreme anger he felt because of what he found out that day.

    A week before that day happened, he thought that he would talk to his wife and try to fix their marriage, because he knew it would not be difficult for them to start as husband and wife. He is also ready to ept that his bachelor life has indeed already happened and he needs to face the reality that he is married.

    He made a surprise for his wife, he wanted to make amends for the sins he hadmitted especially for hurting her. He was about to leave his office to pick up his wife when he suddenly received a call from his ex-fling. The woman asked for a favor if they could talk and after that she wouldn¡¯t make any more trouble or show up to Thunder. And because of what the woman said, Thunder decided to meet with her to end what they had.

    They met at a coffee shop, he admits that the woman is beautiful and sexy but he ignores it because all he wants now is to talk to the woman and go home to his wife. When he sat down, there was food and drink ready on the table that the woman seemed to have ordered.

    ¡°Say what you want to say. I need to go home,¡± Thunder¡¯s said in serious tone

    The girl smiled sweetly as if she wanted to seduce him. ¡°Like what I said before, I just invited you to talk, but before that let me give this to you.¡± The girl said and handed the photos to Thunder.

    He got confused that time so he epted it and looked inside of it. When he saw who was in the picture his mouth watered.

    Her wife is in the photo with his best friend Cain who is hugging each other, there is also a photo of them kissing. He felt disgusted with his wife because of the photo, he got so angry, he felt like his wife and best friend had betrayed him.

    Before he left, Alexa stopped him and gave him the juice, he just drank it quickly and left. He didn¡¯t even bother to say goodbye to hispanion because all he wanted was to go home.

    As he made his way home he felt something strange in his body. He felt a different body heat or sensation but he endured it because he had not yete home. When he got to their house his body heat intensified so much that when he saw his wife he did the worst thing.

    He deeply regrets what he did to Jewel especially raping her.

    And when he woke up the next morning he could no longer see his wife, he went around their whole house but he could not see her. He finally went to her room but he did not see her even Jewel¡¯s shadow, and also her belongings were gone.

    He hardly knew what to do in those days. He only wanted one thing and that was for them to get married and live happily. But the opposite happened, because of the pictures he saw he made a big mistake when he raped his own wife.

    He didn¡¯t look for her wife even if he could do it because he didn¡¯t know how to face Jewel. A weekter he also decided to talk to his parents to tell them what had happened, but he was just at the door of their house when he was greeted by his father¡¯s punch. On the same day, Jewel¡¯s parents were at their house because they were worried about the loss of their daughter for how many days already, they also said that they tried to call her several times but no one answered and when they went to Thunder¡¯s house they also never met Jewel or even him.

    Thunder had the opportunity that day to talk to his parents and to his wife¡¯s parents, he admitted everything that happened between them as a couple especially thest thing he did to his wife. Both parents were very angry because of what happened and what he did, they are very disappointed in him.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    There was also a dispute between the two families for almost a few months, but Thunder did not let that happen, he did not want the two families rtionship to be ruined because of the sin that hemitted. He promised to them that he will do everything to make Jewel forgive him. Eventually their parents agreed as well, they let Thunder make the way and fix the tire he made.

    But even though the problem between their families was solved and went well, his own mother was still very disappointed in him and also he felt that his father was distancing himself to him still. He doesn¡¯t me his parents for treating him that way because he knows and understands that they consider Jewel as their daughter also.

    He also found out the fact that when he met his ex fling, Alexa had put a drug in his drink, it is a drug that increases a person¡¯s need that when you drink it you will go wild without knowing it, you can just feel so much heat in the body like you wanted to release something, so it¡¯s toote when he realized that Alexa had given him that drug that¡¯s why he didn¡¯t control himself that time when he did the wrong thing to Jewel.

    A month after Jewel left she received annulment papers from hiswyer, but he just threw it away because he had no intention of signing it. He will not allow to lose his as the husband of Jewel.

    In the days that have passed his life has almost be miserable, he is at the bar everyday, he hardly even goes to thepany, every night he remembers what he did to his wife, her cries and pleading. For him it was a nightmare. He also knew he was wrong that he didn¡¯t control his emotion and believed Alexa so all that stuff happened.

    He had no news of his wife for almost five years because no matter how hard he tried to hire a good investigator, it did not report anything to him or give any news to him about his wife. He thought that something was preventing him from knowing where his wife was or what was going on with his wife. He just didn¡¯t know who they were, whether it was his family or Jewel¡¯s family, he didn¡¯t hesitate to hire a private investigator again because he knew he would just waste it because someone would block it.

    In the years without her wife he then realized how important she is to him. He remembers how it took care and cared for him even though it retaliated with pain and cruelty. He knows that it is not difficult to love Jewel, he knew his wife when she was young because his parents and Jewel¡¯s parents are closest friends and because of that he and Jewel became friends also. He just treated her differently when their arranged marriage happened, he thought it was his wife¡¯s n everything, he knew that Jewel had liked him for a long time. He had in mind that because of his wife he would be tied to a marriage and would lose his life being a bachelor.

    After being miserable, he just woke up saying that he wanted to fix his life, because his father deported him to their hacienda and he stayed there for a year. His father wanted him to fix himself first so that when he and Jewel met again he would have strength to face her.

    After five years he found out from his friend Cain that Jewel was going back to the Philippines, he was very happy when he heard that news. He also found out from his friend that Jewel had built a restaurant in Canada and it was famous there, and because of that he came up with a n. Even if some people willugh or say that this n was very childish he will do it. He talked to Celine, Dark¡¯s cousin, about his n to inquire at the restaurant and that they want a restaurant to cater for their wedding. At first, Celine didn¡¯t want to, but after two days she agreed about it.

    One night when he passed by a famous bar he did not expect to see Jewel there, he got pissed when he see her dancing in the middle of the dance floor while the men were celebrating, so he didn¡¯t wasted a single minute and he immediately approached her and pulled her out, at first she was still angry with him she shouted at him but because the girl was drunk Thunder was able to take her in his condo unit.

    But the next day while Jewel was still asleep, he decided to take a bath first. He wanted to talk to the girl when she woke up, but it seems that his decision was wrong when he came out of the bathroom, Jewel was no longer in bed. He hurried out of the room thinking that maybe Jewel was in the kitchen or sofa but he didn¡¯t see Jewel. He felt disappointed but he did nothing, because he knew they would still meet.

    ¡®I will do everything to make you fall in love to me again Jewel.¡¯ ¨C he whisper

 Chapter 30

    Jewel POV

    It¡¯s almost a week ago but still each of those days got ruined because of the specific person that she really didn¡¯t want to see but unlucky, she did. She often visits her best friend Calleigh but she can¡¯t stay at Dark¡¯s house because Thunder is also there which she is very annoyed with. She didn¡¯t know if it was just a coincidence or that man intentionally annoyed her. And when they meet with Celine just to talk about the catering of their wedding, they don¡¯t finish discussing because the two did nothing but to flirt in front of her, in fact she wants to cancel the catering of her restaurant at the wedding of two but it will turn out to be an unprofessional and it will affect her restaurant so she decided to not to.

    And today, she is with her parents in theirpany because they have something important to talk about. Meanwhile, her son was with her nanny at the mall which is also near to theirpany. While she was talking with her parents, her phone suddenly rang. She excused herself for a while just to answer the call.

    Eliza Calling ¡­..

    Her forehead furrowed after she saw that her son¡¯s nanny was calling. ¡°Hello Eliza, why did you get called?¡± She asked after answering.

    She did not hear an answer from the other line that makes her repeat the question just in case the speaker had simply not heard. ¡°M-ma¡¯am, i-it was¡ª¡± the nanny stammered. She got suddenly nervous when she heard Eliza stutter.

    She felt there¡¯s something off with the nanny. ¡°Could you please Eliza speak straight? I can¡¯t understand you. What¡¯s going on in there?¡± She asked irritably.

    ¡°M-maam, Storm was¡ª¡±

    ¡°What? What happened? Where¡¯s Storm?¡± She asked quickly.

    ¡°H-he¡¯s missing.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± After hearing what the nanny says, her heart beats triple faster than unusual. Her body got frozen and she felt an ice bucket pour on her head. ¡°Text me the ce where you are located. I¡¯m going there.¡± She quickly dropped the call and hurried out of the office. Her parents called her but she seemed deaf and didn¡¯t even pay attention to it.

    All she could think of that time was her son, her son was missing. She also knew that her parents followed her. She went to the mall quickly as the nanny texted to her. The mall was not far from where she came from. After she arrived at the mall, she saw Eliza whose face was pale with extreme nervousness. She immediately approached the nanny. ¡°Eliza, what happened? Where is my son?¡± The first question she asked was to the nanny.

    ¡°M-ma¡¯am, he¡¯s just here. I¡¯m just looking at the surroundings for a moment then when I am going to averted my gaze to him, he was nowhere to see,¡±

    ¡°Come on, Eliza! I hired you to take care of my son and now you¡¯re telling me that he was missing? What kind of care did you do, huh?¡± She asked in frustration.

    She could no longer hide her feelings. She vents her anger to the nanny due to extreme worrying about her son. Eliza started to cry because she didn¡¯t know what to do. For almost a year of being a nanny to Storm, she considered this child as well, motherhood is important to her so she was very worried about the child.

    Jewel was almost fainted by what happened while her parents talked to customer service and other mall staff to help them find Storm. It took them almost a few hours and they still couldn¡¯t see the child. The other staff and security guard also searched around the mall but couldn¡¯t really see Storm. Jewel now feels so much worried for her child. Even if she has shorings with her son, it is undeniable that she loves Storm unconditionally. Even though she often bes busy and unable to bond with the child she knows in herself that everything she does is for the child¡¯s future.

    She knew her son was smart and it wouldn¡¯t just disappear like that if no one kidnapped him. The nervousness she felt got more intensified. She was thinking what if someone kidnapped her son? And what¡¯s the motive? They are still here at the mall and waiting for the news,ter on the mall staff approached where they were sitting.

    ¡°Ms Jewel, we just want to inform you that until now we don¡¯t have any updates about your son. Our staff still haven¡¯t seen him here inside the mall. ¡± The manager apologized.

    ¡°Damn it! You need to find my son! I won¡¯t go home until I¡¯m with my son. He¡¯s gone here so I know he¡¯s just here. ¡°she cried.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Earlier, she was trying to hold back her tears. She doesn¡¯t want to be weak in front of other people, especially in front of her parents but in this situation, she could no longer hide her feelings. ¡°Calm down Jewel. We will do our best to find Storm, okay?¡± A police friend of his father assured her. The police talked to his parents for a while.

    Later, they approached her. ¡°We need to go home now, they will take care of finding Storm. We need to wait 24 hours.¡± Carefully spoken of her father. At first, she didn¡¯t want to agree but she didn¡¯t do anything yet.

    She just sat on the sofa when they arrived at their house. ¡°This is your fault Jewel. If you had just been hands on with your son it wouldn¡¯t have happened. He wouldn¡¯t have disappeared.¡± Suddenly, her mother spoke up.     ¡°What? Why do you seem to me me for what happened, mom? Am I the one who lost my son?¡± She answered in annoyance.

    ¡°As far as I remember, do you want to leave him here and go back to Canada? Look now, your son is missing. This is what you want right? To cut your son in your path.¡± Her mother emphasized.

    ¡°Say whatever you want to say mom. I¡¯m tired of arguing with you. I¡¯m only worried about Storm right now. If you think I want my child gone, no it¡¯s not. I still have a heart and it never crosses my mind to pray to lose my child. I¡¯m a bad mother in your eyes but I don¡¯t want any bad things to happen to my son.¡± She said and climbed upstairs. She did not like what her own mother told her. She feels she is to me for the missing of her child.

 Chapter 31

    When Jewel went upstairs, she went straight to her son¡¯s room. She sat down on her son¡¯s bed and picked up one of Storm¡¯s pillows. She scanned the room, looking at the books and drawings she could see.

    Later, her eyes darted to a photo album lying on the bedside table. She picked it up and opened it. Her tears quickly dropped when she saw its contents. Pure pictures of her with different angles, with the words ¡®My superhero and the best mom in the world¡¯ written at the bottom. She also saw a few pictures of the two of them together. Her son has a bigger smile in those pictures.

    Even though her son is still young, she was already proud of him. He grew up smart and could speak well. He also loved to debate like his father.

    This time, she realizes her shorings. She knew in herself that she had great shorings with the child. She can¡¯t be able to give the child a whole family, then, she also let the child feel that he was alone.

    Jewell falls in remorse at those times. Perhaps her mother was right that she was to me for all of the happenings and no one else should be med, only her.

    The next day, Jewel woke up early because the police were going to their house to give an update. It had been 24 hours since her son disappeared.

    She took a shower and tidied up before finally leaving the room. Just after she got downstairs, she caught up with her parents who were talking to the police. She quickly approached them.

    ¡°Sir, is there any news about my son? Did you see him?¡± She immediately asked.

    She wants to see and be with her child as soon as possible. She wants to make up for all her shorings as a mother. It¡¯s just funny to think that if this thing never happens, she wouldn¡¯t see the value of her son.

    ¡°Calm down, Ms. Jewel. We have a lead on where your child is. ¡± The policeman replied.

    ¡°Where is he?¡±

    ¡°Someone said they saw your son with someone yesterday. They didn¡¯t know if your child knew the person he was walking with or not. But earlier, we received confirmation that your child is in good condition and good people are with him. ¡±

    ¡°What are we waiting for? We need to go to the ce you say. I need to get my son, ¡± she said in a hurry.

    The policeman immediately nodded and left their house. She told her parents to leave them alone and she would be the only one toe over.

    They quickly reached the ce where the child was. Jewel could hardly move when they reached a condominium.

    ¡®What the heck Jewel? Don¡¯t be a negative thinker. The size of this building wasrge so definitely, there¡¯s a lot of people living here.¡¯ ¨C she reminded herself.

    ¡°Are you okay, Jewel? Your son is here inside this building.¡± Kevin told her. Kevin was awyer and also her cousin.

    ¡°I am, Kev,¡±

    They quickly entered the building along with two other policemen.

    While they were in the elevator, Jewel was so nervous. She almost held her breath. Later, the elevator opened. They were already on the floor where her son was.

    When they were in front of a unit, her sweat was dripping. She couldn¡¯t hide the fact she was almost shaking in nervousness. She doesn¡¯t want to think anything but the truth was pping her to the idea that she already knows who¡¯s the person that her son was currently with.

    ¡°Hey¡­ Are you sure you are okay? You¡¯re pale.¡± Her cousinmented in worrying.

    She immediately nodded in response. Even though she really wanted to p her cousin because he didn¡¯t even say to her that he knew who was with her son.

    She even saw her cousin knock on the door. After a few seconds, it opened and she was surprised to see the only person that she never wanted to meet again.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± The person asked.

    Before Jewel¡¯s cousin or the cops could answer the person, a woman suddenly came.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on here? What¡¯s the problem, Thunder? Why are there the police? ¡± The woman asked in surprise and eyes suddenly widened when she looked at her cousin.

    ¡°K-kevin?¡± The woman asked. Stuttering.

    ¡°Nice to see you again, Celine,¡± her cousin Kevin greeted.

    Jewel¡¯s forehead furrowed because of the attitude of the two. ¡°Did you guys already meet?¡± She couldn¡¯t help herself but ask.

    ¡°Yes,¡± the two answered in unison.

    Jewel¡¯s forehead furrowed even more.

    Later, a small child peeked through the door.

    ¡°Storm!¡± Jewel eximed and quickly approached the child then hugged him tightly.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    Thunder and Celine¡¯s eyes almost popped out in shock.

    ¡°Do you know that child, Jewel?¡± Celine asked

    ¡°Yes¡­ H-he is my s-son.¡± She stammered in response.

    ¡°Your son?¡± Thunder repeated in assurance.

    Jewel almost fainted because of the happenings. She forgets in her mind that Thunder was here.

    ¡°Y-yes, I want you all to meet my son. Storm Kyzer Dawson.¡± She introduced her son and tried to hide her nervousness.

    She held her son¡¯s hand tightly to gain strength.

    ¡°We badly need to go. Thank you for taking care of my son.¡± She said quickly and turned around. But before she could walk away, someone grabbed her arm.

    ¡°What are you doing? Let her go.¡± Kevinmanded Thunder.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Thunder countered Kevin.

    The two young men start having a staring contest. Jewel stops the two while Celine approaches Thunder.

    ¡°Stop it you two. Don¡¯t make a scandal here. He is Kevin, my boyfriend.¡± Jewel introduced Kevin to them.

    Jewel immediately pulled the young man away together with Storm. The two policemen also followed them.

    When they got inside the car, Kevin burst outughing.

    ¡°Why are youughing, uncle?¡± Storm suddenly asked

    ¡°It¡¯s just funny because of your mom, buddy.¡±

    Jewel quickly pped her cousin¡¯s arm. She is ashamed of what she said earlier and then her cousin reminds her.

    ¡°Seriously cous, you didn¡¯t inform me that you were going to introduce me as your boyfriend so that I can be able to prepare myself in that situation.¡± Her cousin uttered while smirking. Just making her fall in annoyance.

    ¡°Just shut up, Kevin. Don¡¯t remind me of what happened to me, it¡¯s annoying.¡±

    Jewel leaned back in the car seat. Fortunately, his cousin finally stops teasing her. She massages her temple due to stress.

 Chapter 32

    They quickly arrived at their house. As soon as they entered, they were immediately greeted by her parents and hugged the child. Excessive concern and worrying are obvious to their faces. The policeman who was with them earlier has already left.

    Jewel notices the child¡¯s kept distant from her since they left Thunder¡¯s condo. Looks like she was invisible in front of her child¡¯s eyes. When she asks him or talks to him, the child only nods. The nanny was feeding Storm.

    Jewel first went to their pool area. She sat down and put her foot in the pool. Only now she has felt tired for some unknown reason.

    The happenings of her life a few years ago rushed in her mind and she did not realize that her tears had begun to flow.

    She realized that she has everything. Even if her marriage life has failed, her parents, friends and most of all Storm are still there as a gift to her in exchange for all the pain she experienced.

    ¡°Why are you here? You are supposed to be on your son¡¯s side, but you are here and crying.¡± a voice came from behind.

    She quickly averted her attention to it. ¡°I thought you had already gone home.¡± She uttered.

    Kevin sat down next to her and also dipped his feet in the pool.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Shouldn¡¯t you be happy because we¡¯ve already found Storm?¡± He asked in concern.

    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m happy. I¡¯m just scared because of what happened earlier. W-what if Thunder finds out that Storm is his son? W-what if he takes my son away from me?¡±

    ¡°You are thinking too much Jewel. He won¡¯t do that and he will never know.¡± Kevin reassured me.

    She just smiled at what her cousin said even though the truth was that she was nervous every time she remembered the face of her ex-husband before. She could see his questioning face him at that moment.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. He can¡¯t take your child away from you. You are still the mother of Storm and you are more entitled to your child.¡± Kevin added.

    Her cousin is right. Whoever has more rights to her child is none other than her alone.

    ¡°Thank you for this day, Kevin. Thank you for your help.¡±

    ¡°No problem! You are my cousin and Storm is my nephew. I will always help no matter what. Okay? Oh! I need to go home now. I¡¯ll just say goodbye to your mum and dad. And you, get inside the house, it¡¯s already cold here.¡± he uttered before he walked back inside the house.

    Afterwards, she sighed and stayed for a few minutes before finally entering their house.

    After she entered, she reached the direction of her parents but she noticed her son wasn¡¯t there so she decided to go upstairs to visit Storm in his room.

    When she opened his son¡¯s door, he found him sitting on the bed. Her son automatically looked at her then after a second, lowered his gaze. She walked closer to Storm.

    ¡°Storm, are you okay?¡± She asked gently as she approached the child.

    After seconds passed, she got no answer from her son.

    She sat down in front of it. ¡°Is something wrong with you? Did Thunder hurt you? You can tell me,¡± she added but still, the child didn¡¯t answer and just remained the gaze lowered. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to talk to mommy?¡± She asked.

    Her son looked up at her quickly.

    ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to talk to you mom. I wanted to. I really want to talk to you but I¡¯m afraid.¡± Her son admit it

    ¡°Why are you afraid to talk to mommy?¡± she asked.

    ¡°I¡¯m not blind mom and I¡¯m not deaf either. I heard the conversation between you and grandma the other day.¡± her son¡¯s tears began to flow as he stared at her.

    ¡°I know you love me and I know also that you hate me. You hate my existence because every time you see me, you see daddy in me and because of that you remember the past.¡± He added.

    It almost tears her heart apart upon hearing those words from her own son. She couldn¡¯t quite imagine how her child felt.

    She wasn¡¯t aware that her son knew everything.

    ¡°I know I¡¯m the result of your greatest nightmare. I¡¯m the result of daddy¡¯s mistake. I understand if you hate me because I¡¯m also angry with daddy for what he did to you. But mom, I am not him. I¡¯m not daddy. I didn¡¯t hurt you but why do I need to suffer like this? Why do I need to be hated by my own mother? I guess I lived in this world wrong. I¡¯m sorry mom, I¡¯m sorry if I became your child.¡± he uttered while crying.

    Jewel broke into tears at what her son had said. She didn¡¯t know what to say because she got hurt to know that her son was hurting and that was because of what she had done.

    She quickly hugged her son,

    ¡°Don¡¯t think in that way, Storm,¡±

    She let go of the hug and touched her son¡¯s cheeks.

    ¡°I know I have many shorings with you and I admit it. I haven¡¯t been a good mother to you but don¡¯t think that mommy doesn¡¯t love you because I love you so much and don¡¯t think that I hate you cause I am not. I don¡¯t me you for the sin your daddymitted and most of all I don¡¯t regret that you became my child. I¡¯m so blessed to have you in my life, Storm. You have been my strength to live.¡±Owned by N?velDrama.Org.

    She said while staring at her son¡¯s eyes who still couldn¡¯t stop the tears flowing from his eyes.

    ¡°Sorry for what mom did to you. I¡¯m sorry if you feel that way. Let mommy fill her shorings with you.¡± she added while smiling.

    Her son immediately smiled and quickly hugged her. ¡°I will always forgive you mommy cause I love you. For me, you are always the best mom in the world.¡±

    ¡°I love you too, Storm. You will always be my baby.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this day toe,¡± Storm said.

    She smiled because of what his son said. ¡°It¡¯ste already. You need to rest.¡±

    ¡°Can you sleep here beside me, mommy?¡± her son asked

    ¡°If that¡¯s what my baby wants, then I¡¯ll sleep here.¡±

    ****

    On the other hand, a young woman is almost lost. ¡°I can¡¯t believe that this is happening, Thunder! I¡¯m not deaf, am I? Jewel really said earlier that Kevin is her boyfriend?¡± The woman asks while crying.

    He just didn¡¯t answer her because even he was surprised to hear what Jewel said. His head was already hurting. He had a lot of questions that he wanted Jewel to answer, especially about her child Storm. He just saw the child for the first time yesterday and he can already see the simrities between the two of us and now he found out that he was Jewel¡¯s child.

    ¡°Why is it so easy for her to forget me?¡± He asks himself.

    ¡°It is not his fault, Celine. Haven¡¯t you rejected Kevin¡¯s proposal?¡± He reminded her.

    He knows that Kevin and she have been in a rtionship for a long time but when he proposed to her, she rejected it, so he doesn¡¯t know why this woman is acting like this now. She¡¯s the one to me.

    He just let her cry because it¡¯s obvious that she still loves Kevin. She just can¡¯t understand why she didn¡¯t talk to him before. That¡¯s why Dark wasn¡¯t angry to know that the two got separated even though he was the brother of Celine because he knew it was the fault of his sister.

    Only one thing is on his mind right now. He wants to know the truth. What happened to Jewel and who Storm¡¯s father is? Because he can¡¯t be at peace until the questions in my mind get answered.

    He quickly picked up his phone and sought out the contact of his trusted private investigator. He sent a message that they need to talk to thepany tomorrow because he needs to do something.

 Chapter 33

    The next day, Thunder was busy signing papers from thepany but stop when his secretary suddenly entered.

    ¡°Sir Mr. Davis is already here.¡± the secretary uttered.

    ¡°Let him in, thank you,¡± he replied while still looking at the papers.

    Later, a man entered his office.

    ¡°Goodmorning Sir,¡± he greeted and then sat down in the chair in front of him.

    ¡°Do you know my wife, right?¡± he questioned.

    ¡°Yes Sir. What about her? Did you already find her?¡± the man asked.

    Thunder immediately took down the papers he was holding.

    ¡°Yes, she¡¯s back again with a child. I want you to investigate what happened to Jewel when she was not here in the Philippines, who she was with and who¡¯s her son¡¯s father. ¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, Sir. Tomorrow morning I will send you all the information you are asking for.¡± the investigator quickly answered.

    Thunder smiled because his private investigator said. ¡°Thank you! I can really count you on this. I¡¯ll just send the payment to your bank ount once you finish the task.¡±

    ¡°No problem, Sir.¡± thetter replied and stood up.

    ¡°I need to go. I still have important things to do.¡± The investigator added

    ¡°If I know you¡¯re only going to your fling, you idiot.¡± Thundermented andughed.

    ¡°Let¡¯s just say, when you¡¯re a good looking man,dies always follow. Anyhow, I¡¯m leaving.¡± The investigator bid goodbye before finally exiting Thunder¡¯s office.

    He shook his head at what the visitor said. David is the one he trusted the most. He is a good private investigator and businessman. The only problem is the private investigator was a womanizer and can¡¯t put himself in one woman.

    Jewel, on the other hand, is starting to pay more attention to her son so she could fulfill her shorings. They are together now in the bedroom because she is guiding the child to wear clothes. They¡¯re going to leave and go to the mall due to Storm¡¯s request.

    ¡°Look at you, my baby boy. You¡¯re so handsome.¡± She praised the child.

    ¡°I love you, mommy. You are so pretty too.¡±

    ¡°So, you¡¯re ready? We¡¯re leaving.¡± She asked her son with a smile on her face. The child immediately nodded.

    Jewel gave the nanny of Storm a day off because she wanted to be the only one to take care of her child first.

    As they went down the stairs, she saw her parents sitting on the sofa. They are quickly ncing in their direction. Their faces frown and wonder what¡¯s happening between the two mothers.

    ¡°What is happening here?¡± The mother of Jewel asked.

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± the father added.

    Jewelughed at her parents¡¯ reaction.

    ¡°What¡¯s with the look, mom? Dad? It looks like you saw a ghost. Hahahaha. Storm and I are leaving to take a bonding moment together.¡± She replied while stillughing.

    Her mother quickly approached her and touched Jewel¡¯s forehead.

    ¡°Mom, what are you doing?¡± She asked whileughing. She removed the mother¡¯s hand from her forehead.

    ¡°You¡¯re not sick, are you, my daughter? You didn¡¯t catch a fever either.¡± The mothermented.

    His father sighed first and walked closer to his wife. ¡°Honey, let them leave. Let them have time for each other first. Don¡¯t ask too many questions here.¡±

    ¡°Storm, say goodbye to your grandma and grandpa so we can leave.¡±

    Her son immediately followed and approached them and kissed their cheeks. ¡°We will have a mother and son bonding grandma so you don¡¯t need to worry about us. Mom is not sick or what. She just really wants to have time for me.¡± The child whispered to her grandmother and returned to holding Jewel.

    ¡°We¡¯re leaving mom, dad,¡± Jewel said goodbye and finally walked away with her child.

    When the mother and daughter left, they looked at each other. ¡°What happened to your daughter?¡± thedy asked her husband.

    The gentleman shrugged at his wife¡¯s question. ¡°Let her, maybe she woke up in a good sleep so that¡¯s what happened. That would be better so she can recover from her shorings to the child.¡± The husband answered.

    The mother of Jewel nodded and walked back to the sofa.

    The days passed quickly and Jewel did not have any difficulty in fulfilling her shorings to her child. They were always together and looked like they almost couldn¡¯t be separated. The two became even closer which makes the parents of Jewel rejoice in joy. They can see the happiness in their grandson Storm.

    Jewel couldn¡¯t quite imagine that she would feel real joy with her child again. She was very sorry that only now she realized how important her child is to her. She also realized now why many love the child is just because of his kindness and being sweet.

    Jewel is currently sitting on their sofa while typing on herptop. Her son is still asleep so she has time to work. Their housemaids are gone now because she sent them to their homes for a vacation as well as Storm¡¯s nanny. Her parents haven¡¯t been home yet because they went to a business conference. Only she and her son left at home.

    While she was busy checking their sales in Canada, someone suddenly rang the doorbell. She frowned because she didn¡¯t know who would visit them at this time. She suddenly thought it might be Cain so she quickly walked to the door to open it.

    She was still smiling as she opened the door.

    ¡°Cainnnn.¡± She eximed when the door opened.

    But the smile quickly faded from her lips after realizing that it wasn¡¯t her friend. It was Thunder. The person she was avoiding seeing.

    ¡°You look disappointed, Jewel. Isn¡¯t it because Cain was not the visitor?¡±

    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± She asked and ignored what the young man said.

    ¡°Don¡¯t ask me that question, Jewel. I know you knew what my purpose here was.¡± The man says directly.

    Jewel suddenly felt nervous because of what he said. She could tell in the young man¡¯s voice the seriousness of it.

    ¡°Shall Ie in? Shouldn¡¯t you let me in because I am a visitor? You probably don¡¯t want us talking out of your house.¡± He added

    Jewel almost got weakened. She felt like she was suddenly weakened because of the person in front of her.

    She let Thunder enter their house.

    ¡°What are you really up to, Thunder?¡± She asked again trying to hide the nervousness she was feeling right now.

    ¡°Do you really want me to answer that question, Jewel? I want an answer! I want the truth!¡± Thunder uttered in a strong voice that made her even more nervous.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°W-what do you mean? I-I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re saying.¡± She denied.

    Thetter just chuckled. ¡°Really? Why stuttering?¡± He questioned. ¡°I know you, you knew that. You can¡¯t lie to me.¡± Thunder added.

    Jewel didn¡¯t know what she would do. She knew she had nothing to escape with this man.

    ¡°Is it okay Thunder if you don¡¯t have any important thing to say, leave. I still have a lot of things to do.¡± She said firmly.

    ¡°Your son¡­ We look alike, don¡¯t we Jewel? What do you think I¡¯m thinking right now?¡± Thunder asked seriously.

    Jewel swallowed hard after hearing what Thunder said. She knows this day wille and she isn¡¯t prepared for this yet. She knew Thunder was smart so she knew before the man went here to face her, Thunder already knew it.

 Chapter 34

    Jewel could barely move from her position. The young man walked over to her and quickly grabbed her arm. ¡°I told you, Jewel. You can¡¯t lie to me.¡±

    ¡°W-what do you really want to say, Thunder? Don¡¯t you dare touch my son.¡± She said firmly and withdrew her arm from the grip of Thunder.

    He smiled strangely as if he was happy with what was happening between them. ¡°Tell me, Jewel, Am I the father of Storm?¡±

    The woman became very weak because of his question.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know I was good and I developed a new life even if it only happened once.¡±

    Suddenly, his cheek heated up because Jewel pped his face pretty hard.

    ¡°Tell me Thunder, what do you want?¡±

    He grinned even more as he rubbed his cheek because of the force of the p.

    ¡°Do you really want to know what I want? There¡¯s only one thing that I want Jewel and that is to get to know who¡¯s my son¡¯s father.¡±

    ¡°And who told you you¡¯re the father of Storm, huh? I think you¡¯re a fool and too confident in yourself to im my child. ¡°Jewel said boldly.

    ¡°You know what Jewel, you¡¯re so tough even though you know I knew the truth you still don¡¯t want to admit it. Do you want proof to tell if your child is mine? I¡¯m willing to do it, but for now, let me do this because I miss you. ¡±

    Jewel couldn¡¯t let go as Thunder kissed her quickly. She couldn¡¯t understand why she couldn¡¯t push the young man away. Their kiss deepened even more but stopped when suddenly they heard a voiceing from the stairs of the house.

    ¡°Mom!¡± Storm called.

    Jewel immediately pushed Thunder because of that. She feels so ashamed to realize that her son saw what happened.

    She quickly greeted her son down the stairs.

    ¡°Goodmorning, baby. You¡¯re already awake,¡± she uttered and then kissed her son on the cheek.

    ¡°Goodmorning, mommy.¡± the child answered back before kissing her cheek.

    The child approached the direction of Thunder.

    ¡°Uncle Thunder, why are you here?¡± The child asked the man.

    ¡°I¡¯m here to visit you, Storm and also your mom,¡± he replied. Jewel¡¯s eyes red at him immediately.

    ¡°Why are you visiting Mommy? Did you all already meet?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t your mommy mention me to you?¡± Thunder asked back while looking at Jewel who seemed to be teased.

    Storm¡¯s gaze shifted to his mother who had earlier killed the young man in her mind. ¡°Mommy, do you know Tito Thunder?¡±

    ¡°Yes baby, he is my best friend.¡± She shortly answered.

    ¡°Really, uncle? Papa ninong is your best friend?¡± the boy asked Thunder again

    Thunder quickly groaned at what he heard. Obviously not liking what he heard from his own son.

    ¡°Yes, he is my best friend. He is not your father, why are you calling him papa?¡± Thunder asks in irritation.

    ¡°He was my dad when I was born, that¡¯s why I am calling him papa.¡±

    Thunder quickly looked at Jewel threateningly and the woman just stared at him.

    ¡°Are you and mom friends too? But why are you two kissing?¡±

    Jewel¡¯s eyes immediately widened because of what the child asked. She almost blushed with embarrassment.

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with me kissing your mommy, is there? That¡¯s what two people do when they miss each other, Storm. ¡± Thunder replied to the young man

    ¡°I know that, but if you are friends. It should only be on the cheek. Why aren¡¯t you and my mommy like that? Two people kiss each other on the lips if they are in a rtionship right? In your case, you two are not in a rtionship. So, why are you kissing? ¡±

    Jewel¡¯s face can hardly be painted because of what she heard from her son. She almost regretted why her son is so talented and an observer at the age of four years old.

    ¡°Baby, you need to eat your breakfast now,¡± Jewel uttered instead.

    ¡°I will mom, but I want an answer first to my question to Tito Thunder.¡± The child replied in urgency.

    ¡°Son, it¡¯s toote in the morning. Eat your breakfast first,¡± she insisted to his son but he seemed really determined to get the answer to the question.

    ¡°Tito, I¡¯m waiting for the answer. You¡¯re not my daddy. Are you my mom¡¯s boyfriend?¡±

    Thunder approached Storm and he knelt down to make himself eye level with the child. ¡°Storm what if¡­¡± he introduced.

    ¡°What tito?¡±

    ¡°What if I will tell you that .. that I am your father?

    ¡°N-no .. nooo .. you are not my father! ¡±

    Storm shouted and quickly ran upstairs.

    Jewel called him but he didn¡¯t even look at her. Thunder was still nning to chase him but a hand stopped him. ¡°Please Thunder, let my son go first¡­ I¡¯ll be the one to talk to him.¡± She begged.

    Thunder brushes his air out of frustration. ¡°You know what? It¡¯s all your fault, Jewel. Because you hid from me that we have a child. Now, it turns out like this.¡± he mes the woman

    ¡°Don¡¯t act as if you haven¡¯t done anything bad to me, Thunder! You might forget what was the reason I left you, huh? You don¡¯t know what I went through so you have no right to speak up to me like that or me me for why your own child doesn¡¯t know you. No one else is to me here and it¡¯s you! ¡± Jewel shouted at him.

    ¡°So, can you leave first? I¡¯m begging you. Storm is too young for this¡­ He knows about his father.¡± the woman added

    ¡°What? Why would he react like that if he knew about me?¡±

    ¡°Please Thunder, leave that first. Give me enough time to talk to my son. ¡±

    ¡°Our son, Jewel! Storm is also my son and how long has that been?¡±Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just call you but right now, I¡¯m begging you to leave first.¡±

    Thunder did nothing but leave first as what Jewel requested.

    When the young man left, Jewel fell to the floor crying. She did not expect that what she feared would happen. That the child would meet his father. Her son knew what she went through on why they were not with his father. Her son was smart so he could understand everything and she knew that Storm was very angry with his father.

 Chapter 35

    Thunder¡¯s POV

    After Thunder and Jewel talked, he went straight to Cain¡¯s condo but the young man was not there. He already knew that the friend was with Jewel during the times he left her. The day he found out everything to the private investigator, he quickly went to Cain. At first, they didn¡¯t have a good conversation. He was even punched by his friend a few times for being a jerk. Butter, they also got along when Thunder exined everything.

    He only wants one thing to happen now. That is to be with his son and Jewel and be a whole family. He was overjoyed when he found out that Jewel and he had a child and he also found out from Cain that she had no other boyfriend since they broke up. So, he didn¡¯t waste time, the next morning he immediately went to Jewel¡¯s house to talk to her and confirm the truth to his wife but at first, it seemed like she had no ns to tell him but the good thing was he brought the DNA test result with him and with Storm. It was provided by David so that in case Jewel denies the truth, he has some evidence to prove it.

    And now his problem was his child. He feels so sad and devastated to see his own child not wanting him to be his father. He can¡¯t me the child because he grew up without him and ording to Jewel, the child knows the whole story of why they aren¡¯t together. So, he wasn¡¯t surprised to see that his child hated him for what he did to his mother. He regretted everything he had done in the past and he was ready to face all the consequences and can do anything just to get their forgiveness. He will not allow him to lose his wife and child again. He thought it¡¯s also his fault for why these things happened. Because if he had only been a good husband back then to Jewel, they would probably be a happy family now. If he hadn¡¯t hurt his wife, it wouldn¡¯t have led to this situation.

    He took his phone to call Cain just to ask him to have a drink. He can¡¯t call Dark to have drinks. After all, he knew it was not possible because his girlfriend Calleigh was pregnant.

    It took one minute before his friend answered the call. ¡°Why did you call, T?¡± thetter asked on the other line

    ¡°Where are you? Are you with Monique? ¡°he asked

    ¡°I¡¯m not with her. She went to her friend¡¯s ce. She instructed me to go home. Why?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s have a drink.¡±

    ¡°Looks like you¡¯re in trouble. Where are you? I¡¯ll go to your ce so that we can talk about that?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m here at your condo so just hurry up,¡± he said before ending the call.¡±

    He immediately entered his friend¡¯s condo. He knew the security password of its door. When he was already inside the unit, he went straight to the refrigerator to take alcoholic drinks. He put it on a tray and carried it to the living room and started drinking while waiting for his friend to arrive.

    Less than ten minutester, Cain arrived. ¡°You took so long outside,¡± heined as his friend sat down on the sofa.

    ¡°As if you waited for me too long. I¡¯ve already hurried to get home just to be here.¡± His friend countered him while shaking his head.

    He took one bottle of beer. ¡°What happened when you went to Jew¡¯s ce?¡± his friend asked in curiosity.

    Thunder put down the wine he was holding before answering. ¡°It didn¡¯t go well.¡± He answered and sighed. ¡°Why? What happened?¡±

    ¡°At first, Jewel was still stubborn and didn¡¯t want to admit it.¡± He tells the story.

    ¡°As if you didn¡¯t know your wife yet. She¡¯s really like that and you can¡¯t me her after what happened to both of you.¡±

    ¡°I know and I understand her if she acted like that. That¡¯s not what I¡¯m worried about.¡±

    Cain frowned. ¡°What¡¯s the main problem?¡±C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    He drank the bottle of beer he was holding before looking at his friend. ¡°It¡¯s about Storm.¡± he began to tell Cain what had happened between him and his son. Cain just listened until he finished telling the story.

    ¡°We can¡¯t me Storm either. He¡¯s still young for this but your son is smart and kind and knows if he¡¯ll ept you soon. Storm loves his mom so much so if you want to win his heart, start with Jewel.¡± His friend suggested.

    ¡°That¡¯s exactly what I¡¯m going to do. Jewel needs to forgive me first so that we can get along.¡±

    ¡°Did she know that you are still married to her until now?¡± Cain asked in a second.

    ¡°She doesn¡¯t know yet. I haven¡¯t told her yet.¡± They just kept drinking and talking.

    Thunder was very grateful to Cain because he didn¡¯t leave his family behind when he was away. It was early in the morning when the two of them finished drinking. He decided to just spend the night herest night.

    The next morning, Jewel woke up early to prepare breakfast for her son. She tried to talk to him yesterday but the child didn¡¯t want to talk about what happened so she didn¡¯t force him. Later on, there was a small arm that hugged her from behind. ¡°Good morning, mommy,¡± the child greeted with a smile. The child¡¯s eyes were still swollen from crying.

    Jewel kissed it. ¡°Good morning baby boy. How¡¯s your sleep? Mommy cooks your favorite breakfast.¡± She let the child know and smiled sweetly. Without uttering words, Storm quickly went to the table and began to eat. She also took her te to apany the child. The way how her child eats was contagious especially if he likes the food she prepared. They were in the middle of breakfast when suddenly someone rang the doorbell. Jewel immediately stood up to open it. ¡°Continue eating your breakfast. I¡¯ll just see who it is.¡± Her son nodded quickly and continued eating.

    When she opened the door, Thunder¡¯s face appeared on her. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± She asked quickly.

    ¡°Am I not allowed here? I want to see my son.¡± ¡°I told you not now right? Please try to understand that Storm was still in shock.¡± Jewel calmly said and tried her voice to refrain from getting louder because the child might even hear it.

    ¡°Understand me too, Jewel. I just want to see my son.¡± Jewel was about to speak but stopped when Thunder smiled awkwardly behind her. When she looked at it, she saw Storm. ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

    ¡°Storm, listen to me. I¡¯m your father.¡± Thunder¡¯s uttered in desperation.

    ¡°Stop lying!¡± The child shouted and broke into tears. This was not what he expected from his son¡¯s reaction. Storm started to cry so Jewel quickly approached her child and carried. She sat on the sofa while hugging her son who was still crying.

    Thunder, on the other hand, remained standing and just watched his wife and son hugging each other. ¡°Baby, please stop crying.¡± Jewelforted her child.

    ¡°He is lying right, mom? He is not telling the truth. He is not my daddy.¡± Storm uttered.

    You could see in the child¡¯s eyes that he was clouded by mixed emotions. ¡°Storm, listen to me, baby,

    ¡°No, mommy! He is not my daddy. You know that I hated him and I don¡¯t want to see him anymore. He hurt you that¡¯s why I hated him also. That¡¯s why at first you didn¡¯t ept me and almost had an abortion, right? That¡¯s all because of daddy. And I will never forgive him. I hated him to death!¡± He emotionally screamed at the top of his lungs while crying.

    Jewel quickly looked at Thunder. She could see how the tears flowed in Thunder¡¯s eyes. She knows how much pain that Thunder¡¯s felt right now because of the words that their son left out and she wanted to apologize for it because she felt she was the reason why the father and son rtionship had broken down.

    ¡°Please Thunder, leave first. I¡¯m begging you.¡± She begged.

    Thunder didn¡¯t say a word and left immediately. He couldn¡¯t bear to see his son hurt so he left first. But leaving does not mean that he will give up. When Thunder got into his car, he punched the steering wheel several times. Twice the pain he feels right now than punching the wheel because his son hated him.

    ¡°Ahhhhhhhhh!¡± he shouted as he continued to punch the steering wheel. He couldn¡¯t quite imagine that the time woulde when he would experience this kind of pain.

 Chapter 36

    It¡¯s been a few days since it happened at Jewel¡¯s house, it¡¯s a good thing that the young man never came back there again and as for Storm, it¡¯s been okay somehow and Jewel is also trying to talk about his father. .

    Jewel is currently in the mall because she needs to buy something, she just came from the school where her child will attend as her parents wanted.

    While she was walking around the mall, she passed in a sweet cafe so she entered there to try their sweet foods and order a take out for her son. She was not with Storm because the little boy was still asleep when she left.

    When she was able to order, she looked for a vacant seat, just a few minutester, her order arrived with the package she took out. While she was eating, she saw two women who had just entered and ordered at the counter. When she looked closely she recognized that the other woman was Monique but she did not know who the otherpanion was. In her mind it seemed familiar to her, but she just could not remember it.

    And when the two ordered, Jewel waved her hand to grab the attention of the two, when Monique saw her she immediately smiled and approached her at the same time as the woman with her.

    ¡°Hi Jewel, you¡¯re here too. Who¡¯s with you?¡± she asked

    ¡°I¡¯m alone her, I just bought something and I passed by in this cafe and their foods look delicious that why I tried it.¡± She replied, ¡°Your friend?¡± she added.

    But before Monique could answer, a friend preceded her. ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Margaux. I¡¯m Monique¡¯s friend.¡± the woman said

    ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± Jewel replied with a smile

    ¡°Jew, can we just share a table? If it¡¯s okay.¡± Monique¡¯s voice.

    ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t have anyone with me either,¡± she replied

    Exactly when they sat down, their order also arrived so they started eating when Magaux suddenly spoke. ¡°What is Jewel? Do you want to ask something? I notice you¡¯ve been looking at me for a long time.¡±

    ¡°Nothing, because earlier when I saw you, you seemed familiar to me, I just can¡¯t remember if we met or not.¡±

    ¡°Obcourse Jewel, we have met before. I will introduce myself again, maybe you don¡¯t remember me anymore. I¡¯m Margaux Vifuerte, sister of Daven.¡± She said

    Shock appeared on her face. ¡°Is that you Marga? You look prettier than before.¡± she eximed almost unbelievably that she was now facing her best friend¡¯s sister, so it turned out that it was familiar to her

    ¡°Yes big sister, I thought you would recognize me.¡±

    ¡°Earlier I thought you were familiar with me in case I just don¡¯t really remember. It¡¯s been so many years.¡±

    ¡°Yeah you are right. It¡¯s been a year.¡± she says bitterly

    ¡°How are you? Are you with your parents?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m slowly moving on with the loss of my older brother and about our parent they¡¯re okay, they¡¯re still in Korea and taking care of business.¡± She answer

    ¡°It¡¯s good to know that they¡¯re okay. I also miss them, and about what happened to Daven I apologized for it Marga, I know it¡¯s my fault why he died.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sure they miss you too. Don¡¯t me yourself, it¡¯s my brother¡¯s decision to save you. Right Monique? So don¡¯t me yourself.¡±

    I looked at Monique because I noticed that she was quiet and didn¡¯t say much, as if she wanted to say something but she couldn¡¯t. I didn¡¯t even ask because maybe she was just tired.

    A few more minutes passed and we just chatted before I decided to say goodbye to leave because maybe Storm was looking for me too.

    ¡°Ahm, Nique and Marga I need to go, maybe my son is already waiting for me.¡±

    ¡°Oh sure, let¡¯s hang out again soon. I would love to meet your son.¡± Margaux said while smiling

    ¡°All right Jew, be careful.¡± Monique said.

    Monique just stared at the chair Jewel had left. Earlier she was restless because she didn¡¯t think they would meet here and Margaux was still with her

    ¡°She looks so happy.¡± Marga suddenly promised so she immediately looked at the woman beside her

    ¡°You know what Marga, you can stop pursuing what you¡¯re nning.¡±

    ¡°What? Now you will say that when everything is okay, huh?¡± she greeted her teeth

    ¡°Do you think when Daven is still alive he will be happy with what you are doing? No Marga, he will not be happy seeing you like this and nning to hurt his best friend.¡±

    ¡°Exactly Monique! If my older brother was still alive, but not, he is gone.¡± she said

    Monique just sighed. ¡°This is not the right thing to do Marga. What if someone gets hurt?¡±

    ¡°And so? All I need is justice for my brother!¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to put in your hands the justice you want. Daven has been dead for a long time! The culprit has also been jailed, but why are you ming Jewel? We know that she¡¯s innocent, that is your brother¡¯s decision, to save her . ¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care! It¡¯s still her fault why my brother died, and I will not ept the fact that she is living a happy life while I¡¯m still mourning for my brother¡¯s death! I won¡¯t let that happen,¡± she said seriously.

    ¡°Because that¡¯s what you chose, Marga! You¡¯re confining yourself, you need to ept that Daven is gone and that he¡¯ll nevere back. Wake up Marga! Daven is in peace now.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re just saying that because you¡¯re happy, because you have Cain! Is it that easy for you to forget my brother, huh?¡± she angry said

    ¡°Marga I will never forget Daven. I love your brother and he will always have a ce in my heart. I also need to move on, I can¡¯t stay in the past because I know Daven won¡¯t like that either. So I¡¯m hoping that you will change your mind and continue your living without any hatred in your heart. ¡±

    ¡°No matter what you say, I won¡¯t change my mind! And you will help me, remember that you were involved in this from the beginning. You probably don¡¯t want Cain to know everything right?¡± she serious promise

    ¡°You are crazy Marga! Don¡¯t involve Cain in this shit!¡±

    ¡°Scared now? Because you know he¡¯ll get mad at you or he¡¯ll leave you when he finds out what you did, that you really n to be friends with Jewel because you also want revenge.¡± she was grinning while looking at me.

    ¡°I¡¯ve considered Jewel as a friend a long time ago.¡±

    ¡°You think she¡¯ll believe you? Think Monique! You will help me no matter what happens or else you won¡¯t like what happens.¡± she said

    Monique was so annoyed that she stood up and walked away. Margaux was left alone.

    Margaux POV

    I just stared at Monique in the distance. If she thinks that she can leave me this time I will not allow her to suddenly back down from the n we started a long time ago. I expected this to happen so that she will not be loyal to me, but I still let her with me. I just used her to fulfill my ns and after that I would also remove her from my path.

    She was also one of the reasons why Daven lost time with me, since she was introduced to us she was always with my brother and Jewel who was the reason why the man I love died.

    You¡¯re right, I love Daven not as a brother, I love him as a man.

    She picked up her phone and called someone.

    ¡°How is it?¡±

    ¡°Everything is fine madam.¡± answer on the other line

    ¡°Good, just make sure you don¡¯t fail this n because when that happens I¡¯m going to kill you.¡± She seriously saidContent is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°It¡¯s settled madam! You don¡¯t have to worry anymore.¡±

    ¡°Well then, I¡¯ll just send the payment to your bank ounts.¡± She said

    ¡°Thank you madam.¡±

    She immediately put down her phone and stared at the man in her wallpaper. ¡®Don¡¯t worry my love, it¡¯s only a matter of time before I get revenge.- she said while looking at Daven¡¯s picture

 Chapter 37

    When Jewel arrived at their house she didn¡¯t hear any noise that surprised her, she also suddenly felt scared for an unknown reason so she quickly entered and found their two maids with her son¡¯s nanny tied up. She quickly untied it and removed the tape that was covered in their mouths.

    ¡°What happened here? Where is my son?¡± she asked quickly

    ¡°We also didn¡¯t know ma¡¯am we were just surprised when there was a sudden knock and when I opened it the gun was pointed at me so I didn¡¯t do anything to the five men. They didn¡¯t take anything or money.¡±

    ¡°They just tied us up ma¡¯am, at first they were looking for you and I said you weren¡¯t here, they even searched the house to make sure you weren¡¯t here.¡± the second maid said.

    ¡°Before they saw me I made sure that Storm was safe, I hid him in the cab.¡± Her son¡¯s nanny said

    Jewel hurried to the child¡¯s room. She quickly opened the cab and saw her son crying, she hugged him tightly. ¡°Hush now baby, mommy is here.¡± she is trying to calm her son

    ¡°There are bad guys mom, they are looking for you.¡± the little boy said while crying

    ¡°That¡¯s why the nanny needs to hide me here.¡± her son added while trembling until now due to fear.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry I¡¯ll call your uncle Kevin.¡±

    She quickly picked up her phone and called Kevin toe in, less than a few minutes he had arrived already, because before Jewel called him he was on the way to Jewel¡¯s house to visit Storm.

    ¡°What happened here?¡± Kevin said upon arrival, he was apanied by a policeman who was his friend.

    Their housemates immediately told what happened.

    ¡°Who¡¯s going to do this to you? Based on what they said they¡¯re looking for Jewel, do you remember someone who is angry at you? Looks like they need you, it¡¯s a good thing and they didn¡¯t do anything bad and it¡¯s a good thing they didn¡¯t see Storm.¡± Kevin¡¯s said

    ¡°It looks like they have a bad n for your cousin Kev,¡± the policeman suddenly said

    They were in the middle of thinking when Jewel¡¯s phone suddenly rang, they all stared at the same time, Kevin prompted the cousin to answer it because it might be connected to what happened to them, the police also quickly took theptop to track the caller.

    ¡°H-hello,¡±

    ¡°Hi Jewel, do you like my surprise? Too bad you¡¯re not there.¡± the woman¡¯s voice in the line

    ¡°W-who are you? W-what do you want?¡± Jewel stammered

    The woman on the other lineughed out loud, ¡°You have to pay for what you¡¯ve done Jewel, you are the reason why I¡¯m suffering.¡± the girl voice was angry

    ¡°What do you need?¡± Jewel strained to stabilize herself.

    ¡°You choose Jewel, your life or your child¡¯s life?¡± the girl said whileughing

    Jewel immediately looked at her son who was being hugged by her uncle Kevin.

    ¡°You devil! Whoever you are, don¡¯t touch my son!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s see then, and one more thing don¡¯t trust so much, there are so many snakes in this world, see you around my dear Jewel.¡± She said and dropped the call

    After that call they failed to track the number used.

    Almost all day Jewel was nervous because of what had happened and she was also wondering who¡¯s the person behind this. She felt that the person had so much hatred for her.

    Her cousin decided to sleep in their house together with his policeman friend for their safety.

    She¡¯s here now on their sofa because she can¡¯t sleep, suddenly her phone rang and when she looked at it she saw her friend Cain¡¯s name.

    ¡°What¡¯s with the call Cain? It¡¯s already 10pm.¡± she asked

    ¡°Are you still up? Can youe here to Eastwood Bar, Thunder and I are here. He doesn¡¯t want to go home if you¡¯re not with him.¡±

    ¡°What? Is he crazy? Psh! Wait for me there.¡±

    She quickly took her jacket and car key, she didn¡¯t bother to say goodbye to her cousin because she didn¡¯t want to wake him up.

    She hurried out of the house and got into her car.

    When she arrived in Eastwood, she parked her car and quickly entered the bar. When she entered there, she searched for Cain.

    Later she noticed where they were positioned so she immediately approached the two, Dark was not there because he was in another country for a business trip.

    ¡°Cain what happened why is he so drunk?¡±

    ¡°He drank too much, it looks like your husband has a big problem. I told him that we need to go home now but he is refusing. I¡¯ve been calling you how many times but you didn¡¯t answered it,¡± Cain exined

    Jewel sighed. ¡°Something happened earlier at home that¡¯s why I didn¡¯t know that you were calling.¡±

    ¡°Why, what happened?¡± concern is written in man¡¯s face

    ¡°Tomorrow I¡¯ll tell you everything, for now let¡¯s go home.¡±

    ¡°All right, just take her to his condo.¡± He said

    ¡°You are noting with me? You thought I could carry him.¡± JewelinedContent is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Who said I won¡¯t go with you? Silly, I¡¯ll probably go with you to take this man to his condo.¡±

    They immediately left the bar, she was the one driving her car while Cain was also in his own car. About 20 minutes also passed before they reached where Thunder¡¯s condo was.

    They quickly led to Thunder¡¯s unit. They put Thunder to bed in his room and Jewel was about to leave when Cain spoke. ¡°Where are you going?¡±

    ¡°Of course I¡¯m leaving. I need to go home Kevin didn¡¯t know I went out.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll take care of it, I¡¯ll be the one to go there and tell Kevin and also I miss Storm so I¡¯ll go straight there now and I¡¯ll go home tomorrow.¡± Cain said

    She stared at her friend as if examining it. ¡°What now? You will just sleep here so that both of you can talk.¡± Cain said and went straight to the door.

    Jewel stayed outside for a few more minutes before deciding to enter Thunder¡¯s room. She doesn¡¯t have any choice.

 Chapter 38

    When his friend Cain left, Jewel entered Thunder¡¯s room, she realized that they needed to talk and fix their problem for their child Storm, especially now that her life was in danger.

    When she entered the room she walked closer to the bed. Later she felt arms around her. She could not move immediately due to panic.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    ¡°T-thunder, I thought you were sleeping.¡± she stammered

    ¡°You¡¯re really here, I thought I was just dreaming.¡± he said while not letting go of his embrace.

    ¡°Cain called me earlier and she told me that you don¡¯t want to go home.¡± she promised the young man

    He immediately pulled her to the bed and made her sit on hisp, Jewel suddenly blushed because of this.

    ¡°W-what are you doing? W-what are we going to do here?¡± Jewel asked stunned

    ¡°What do you want to do? Or maybe you want us to do something?¡± that was a joke

    She immediately pped him on the arm out of embarrassment.

    ¡°You¡¯re really a jerk! Cain said you¡¯re drunk too much. Why?¡± She asked

    He suddenlyughed. ¡°What? I¡¯m just asking. And I¡¯m not really drunk.¡± he said, ¡°We¡¯ll just talk. I¡¯ve wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I¡¯m thinking of thest thing you said that you need time to think about.¡±

    ¡°We can talk outside your room or you can visit in the house.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯d rather choose to talk to you first, I want that when I face Storm everything is okay. I want to gain your forgiveness and trust first because I know I lost it. I don¡¯t want you to be angry with me for the rest of my life and also for my son Jewel.¡± He stated

    Jewel couldn¡¯t stop herself from crying because of what the young man said and when she looked at it she saw that Thunder was also crying. Jewel feels so much remorse now because she admits that she is also guilty of why they ended up like this, why their son was angry at his own father.

    She hugged the young man tightly which surprised Thunder butter he also hugged her tightly as if he didn¡¯t want to let her go.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Thunder, I¡¯m the reason why Storm hated you,¡± She suddenly said

    The young man let go of the hug and touched her cheek. ¡°You don¡¯t have to say sorry, I¡¯ve made a big mistake to you so I deserve it, but don¡¯t worry because I¡¯ll do everything just to get you back and our son.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m ready to listen now to your side.¡± She said

    ¡°Are you sure?¡±

    ¡°Yes I am, I want to hear everything.¡± She reassured

    ¡°At that time when we were not okay, especially at the time when Imitted a mistake against you, that same day I thought of talking to you to ask forgiveness and to fix our rtionship as a couple, I wanted to fix our marriage life so I prepared a surprised that time and I¡¯m nning to pick you up, but before I left the office I received a call from Alexa. ¡±

    ¡°Alexa?¡± She asked

    ¡°Yes, he was one of my fling before, the one I brought home that you filled with juice,¡± he said.

    Jewel nodded because she remembered it.

    ¡°He begged me to talk to him, after that she wouldn¡¯t make any more trouble for us. I agreed to see her that day because I really want us to start our new life. We met at a restaurant. When I arrived there was food on the table and a drink because she already ordered. I asked her what she wanted to say because I¡¯m in a hurry and I¡¯ll pick you up. She handed me a folder and when I opened it I saw some photos of you and Cain in a cafe hugging and kissing.¡±

    ¡°W-wait, what? Kissing? Where¡¯s that cafe?¡± Jewel asked

    Thunder nodded quickly. ¡°In the sweet cafe.¡±

    Jewel thought for a moment to remember when was thest time she went there to that cafe before it all happened, she remembered that she went there three days before their argument happened.

    ¡°That¡¯s not true, Cain and I just talked that day. And another things we¡¯re not kissing you know we are friends and he is your bestfriend and you know also that I love you so I will not do stupid thing like that especially in public ce. Before I left the cafe Cain wanted to take me home but I refused, so before I left you kissed me on the cheek and hugged me to bid goodbye ¡°Jewel¡¯s exnation.

    ¡°I know, Cain told me everything and I also know that he was with you in Canada. I just acted out my feelings too much at the time and I didn¡¯t think straight so I made a mistake. I was so angry when I saw the pictures, all I could think about was that you and Cain cheated on me. ¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re so mad at me in the beginning of our marriage so I will not be surprised about it.¡± Jewel stated

    ¡°In that case I won¡¯t refuse. I¡¯m so blinded by my anger and hatred that I didn¡¯t see you being a good wife.¡±

    ¡°When you came home that night did you drink?¡± She asked

    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t drink. After I talked with Alexa I went straight home, while I was driving I suddenly felt strange in my body. I felt like I was getting too hot, I remembered that Alexa gave me some juice to drink before I go.¡± He sighed first before looking at me. ¡°After a few days I found out that Alexa put me a medicine in ny drinks, that the reason why my body feels hot as if it was increasing a man¡¯s needs, I felt like something wanted toe out of my body so when I saw you I did that thing without me knowing. Trust me Jewel I didn¡¯t want to do that to you, I¡¯m not in a normal mind at the time because of the drugs Alexa put on. ¡± He added

 Chapter 39

    Jewel just stared at the young man while his tears kept falling asleep. She couldn¡¯t quite imagine that she would now see in front of her that the man she loved so much was also suffering.

    She touched Thunder¡¯s face and turned it over to her. ¡°T-thunder.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Jewel, I didn¡¯t mean to do it. Yes I¡¯m mad at you but I didn¡¯t think of doing that thing to you. I was so sorry when I woke up and you weren¡¯t at home. I was still looking for you but I couldn¡¯t find you.¡±

    ¡°Thunder listen to me, I understand your side. I¡¯m sorry if I didn¡¯t wait for you to exin first and I left immediately. You know it¡¯s not easy for me, it gives me a lot of trauma. And to be honest with you I can¡¯t say now if I¡¯ve forgiven you, the pain is still here until now, the pain of the past. ¡±

    ¡°I know, Cain told me everything. So I regretted it even more when I found out what happened to you. If I could just bring back the past I would do everything to avoid that to happen. And I won¡¯t rush you to forgive me because I know what I did wasn¡¯t easy for you.¡± he promised

    ¡°What happens after Thunder?¡±

    ¡°I was looking for you. I also hired private investigators but they all didn¡¯te back to me. I feel like someone is preventing them from reporting to me so I stopped looking for you. My life was miserable then, I neglected thepany and I was always at the bar. I told my parents and your parents everything that happened to us from the time we got married until that night. Daddy was angry with what I did to you so he threw me at the hacienda and I stayed there for a long time until I one day I woke up and I want to fix my life so that when we meet again I¡¯m a grown up man already. ¡± he said

    Jewel was almost out of breath because of crying, she thought that Thunder just let her go without knowing that he was looking for her. And another thing she thought that she was the only one who suffered, when in fact Thunder was also suffering.

    ¡°It¡¯s been in the past and we can¡¯t take it back. What¡¯s more important now is Storm. He needs a father, he needs you.¡±

    ¡°B-but how? He¡¯s mad at me.¡± Thunder said and I can see the sadness in his eyes

    She smiled at him. ¡°Everything will be alright, Storm is kind but sometimes he¡¯s straight forward and cold just like you.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s how strong my genes are.¡± he boasted

    The girl hit him for what he said. ¡°You¡¯re so confident of yourself.¡±

    ¡°What? I¡¯m just telling the truth. Not like what you¡¯ve done in the restaurant when we first met again and also when you ran away from me in the condo.¡±

    Jewel blushed again because of what Thunder said. ¡°I didn¡¯t run away from you. I just really needed to leave because I have some important matter and in the restaurant, you were the first to say that I¡¯m wasting your time.¡±C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    ¡°You¡¯re in such a hurry to leave, when in fact you are only jealous. You shouldn¡¯t be jealous of Celine either.¡± He said

    I raised an eyebrow at what he said and suddenly I remembered Celine, she¡¯s a good person and I know she¡¯s Thunder¡¯s fiancee and it¡¯s wrong that I am here in his condo.

    ¡°Speaking of her, aren¡¯t you getting married? I shouldn¡¯t be here.¡±

    ¡°Listen to me Jewel, we¡¯re not getting married and we don¡¯t have a rtionship. She¡¯s a Dark cousin and I just asked her to help me and pretend we¡¯re getting married so that I can talk to you.¡± He exined

    ¡°You jerk! You nned all of this, You¡¯re annoying!¡° She ps him in the arm because she thinks that Thunder will actually marry someone else.

    ¡°Hey stop it! Stop Jewel Hahahahaha. I can¡¯t think of a way to talk to you so that¡¯s how I did. But Celine refused to continue our n because of what happened to my condo when she saw Kevin. I found out that the guy is her ex fiancee. She had rejected the proposal of that man a year ago, so she was surprised when she saw him with you and told her that you are in a rtionship. ¡±

    ¡°Seriously? He¡¯s the one who rejected my cousin?¡± Jewel asked in a shock voice,

    Thunder nodded immediately. ¡°W-wait, what do you mean cousin? I thought he was your boyfriend. That¡¯s why Celine cried so hard that day.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Kevin is my cousin.¡±

    ¡°I really thought that you love someone else. But I was very grateful when I saw Storm the first time I immediately noticed our resemnce so I also wanted to meet his mother and the next day you went to the condo and said Storm is your son so my gut feeling got stronger so I investigated you right away and I found out the truth. ¡± He stated

    Thunder got up and walked over to a cab near them, he opened it and someone took that little box there and walked back again to the bed, he sat down next to Jewel and took her one hand.

    He opened the box he was holding and I couldn¡¯t believe what I saw. ¡°H-how?¡± I asked as he wore a diamond ring on my finger.

    I didn¡¯t know that he still had our wedding ring. I left it on his bedroom table before I left then, I thought he had thrown it away.

    She quickly hugged Thunder while crying.

    ¡°Even though our first marriage didn¡¯t go well Jewel but now I want to fix everything, I want us to be a whole family. You, me and our child. I know it¡¯s not easy to forget the mistake Imitted in the past but I will do everything for you to forgive me, not now but I will wait at the right time, ¡°he said while stroking the back of Jewel who was still crying.

    ¡°B-but how? I¡¯ve already signed the annulment papers for a long time.¡± she said weakly while sobbing

    Thunder, on the other hand, broke the girl¡¯s hug and presented it to her while smiling, much to Jewel¡¯s surprise.

    ¡°Who told you that I signed it? I didn¡¯t sign the annulment papers yourwyer sent to me.¡±

    ¡°So t-that means, w-we are ..¡±

    ¡°We are married, we are still married Jewel.¡± It was Thunder who finished what she wanted to say.

    After the conversation, the two of them went to sleep, because they were going to Jewel¡¯s house the next morning.

 Chapter 40

    Thunder woke up first and just smiled when he saw the girl next to him who was sound asleep. He could not fully imagine that after a few years he would be with his wife again. He knows he has been stupid and he has not treated her well and he deeply regrets it.

    Since they got married, his anger has umted because he mes Jewel for why he was tied up early and lost being a bachelor. So he promised himself that he would never love her and he would do everything to make her life miserable with him. And he did seed because of what he did every day and showed it to the girl.

    And when his wife left him it was only then that he realized all the wrongs he had done, he thought he would not feel love for the girl but on a daily basis without her presence in their house it was there that he realized how important Jewel is to him.

    He also couldn¡¯t understand why he treated the girl like that even though they were friends when they were kids, maybe he was just angry about the marriage thing. And now that he has recovered from this he has no ns to let her go. He will do everything for his family.

    After a minute Jewel woke up feeling like someone was staring at her and she wasn¡¯t mistaken because when she opened her eyes, Thunder¡¯s face immediately appeared on her.

    ¡°Good Morning wifey,¡± he greeted with a smile

    ¡°Good Morning. What time did you wake up?¡±

    ¡°I think it was an hour ago.¡± He answer

    The girl immediately got up. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wake me up?¡±

    ¡°You are in deep sleep so I didn¡¯t do it and it¡¯s okay because the view is beautiful and I had time to stare at you.¡±

    ¡°Crazy! I need to go home. I¡¯m sure that Kevin is worried.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll take you home, I¡¯ll just shower for a while.¡± he said and stood up

    Another hour passed before they finally left Thunder¡¯s condo, fortunately there was no traffic so they arrived at Jewel¡¯s house quickly.

    When Thunder was taking a bath earlier, Jewel¡¯s mom called to let them know that they were home, so they will definitely be surprised when Jewel¡¯s parents see them together.

    Jewel rang the doorbell three times and saw their maid running out. ¡°Good Morning ma¡¯am, sir,¡± she greeted the two.

    When they got inside they found Jewel¡¯s parents who were sitting and also seemed to be waiting for their arrival. ¡°Where have you been?¡± Her mother asked as soon as she noticed them.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    ¡°We just talked ma, pa and we just fixed our problem.¡± Thunder replied, smiling at the couple.

    ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re doing the right things now so that you can give my grandson aplete family.¡± Jewel¡¯s mom sadi

    ¡°Jewel, we heard what happened yesterday. Kevin told us.¡± his father suddenly said

    ¡°Yes dear, your daddy and I were doubly worried when we found out what happened and it¡¯s a good thing that no one got hurt.¡± her mother seconded

    Thunder suddenly frowned and looked at Jewel as if asking what her parents meant.

    ¡°What happened?¡± He could no longer bear it and asked

    ¡°You¡¯re here Thunder, are you both okay now?¡± Kevin asked. ¡°Oh Jewel you haven¡¯t told Thunder what happened yet?¡± she faced her cousin

    Thunder wondered even more what Jewel¡¯s cousin was talking about. Jewel began to talk about what had happened in their house. They could feel Thunder¡¯s great concern to find out what had happened. They even talked about what to do before Jewel excused herself to go to her son¡¯s room.

    As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted by the sharp voice of her son. ¡°Mommy you are back.¡± He even kissed her mom¡¯s cheek

    ¡°Good morning baby, I¡¯m sorry if mommy didn¡¯t go home, I have something important to take care of.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay mommy I understand.¡±

    Her son even hugged her looking like he still wanted to sleep. He is like this sometimes when he wakes up.

    She noticed her son staring at the door so she turned to look at it. ¡°What are you doing here mister?¡± her son asked

    But before Thunder could answer him, he entered the room and smiled at Jewel.

    ¡°Don¡¯te near me!¡± Storm started to cry

    ¡°Storm baby, you¡¯re a big boy aren¡¯t you?¡± He nodded. ¡°Then, why are you acting like that?

    ¡°But he hurts you mommy.¡± child defense while bent over

    Jewel immediately touched its little face and faced Thunder. ¡°Baby, he is your father.¡±

    He looked at Thunder who was just standing next to them and didn¡¯t say a word.

    ¡°Even though you said that he is my father, still I will not ept him in my life.,¡± He said directly while looking at his father.

    Thunder couldn¡¯t stop crying because of what he heard from his own son. It hurts so much for him that her own son does not want to ept him, she thinks that it might be the payment for the mistake shemitted against her wife.

    Jewel quickly looked at Thunder and she could see the sadness and pain in her eyes. She was about to speak when the young man suddenly left, she called him a few more times but he did not turn around.

    She turned her gaze back to her son. ¡°Why did you say that in front of your father Storm? That¡¯s bad.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry mommy but I still hate him,¡± the little boy said as hey down and covered his whole body with nket

    Jewel did nothing and just let the child rest, she didn¡¯t want to force their son to ept his father. ¡°Goodnight baby, mommy is going out now. You rest,¡± she said goodbye and saw his son nod

    When Jewel got down, she immediately looked for Thunder, she thought at first he hade home but her cousin said that he was in the garden so she quickly went there and saw him sitting while bowing.

    ¡°T-thunder?¡± he called it but the man remained silent.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for what happened earlier,¡± she began as she sat down next to the young man.

    ¡°H-he hates me, m-my own son h-hates me,¡± He whispered weakly

    ¡°I think this is the payment for the mistake I have done to you, my own son¡¯s hatred towards me. And I know that even you are talking to me I know that you have not forgiven mepletely and I understand that,¡± he added, which made Jewel even more guilty

    She held Thunder¡¯s hand. ¡°Actually I¡¯m still angry with you, there¡¯s still hatred in my heart even though you exined your side. The wound healed but the scar is still there. I¡¯ve suffered so much Thunder, I almost got crazy and Cain knows that. I went through many medications and doctors just to get well and when we went to Canada I did something that I deeply regret. When I found out I was pregnant I almost had an abortion and Cain came, he was angry. I don¡¯t want to be unfair, but I don¡¯t want to force Storm about this matter, she is only 4 years old. And I also want to apologize because I know this is my fault why the storm is angry with you.¡±

    Thunder looked at her. ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, whatever is happening now I deserve it because of all the pain I gave to you. But I will not give up even if Storm repeatedly pushes me away I will ept.¡± He said in a serious tone

    ¡°Storm inherited stubbornness from you. ¡± She joked, ¡°Everything will be alright in time,¡± She added with a smile.

 Chapter 41

    A month passed by since he and his wife talked, Jewel also decided to live with Thunder in their old house together with their son, at first Storm didn¡¯t want to go but in the long run his mother forced him too, because this is the only way Jewel thought for his son and Thunder to be close to each other, in the following days everything was not easy for Thunder.

    When he tries to talk to his son, he can¡¯t get any answer from him, when he invites him to y his son does not want to, when he cooks Storm does not even pay attention to it. It was hard and painful for him as a father but he doesn¡¯t have any choice, he needs to do it for his son.

    Sometimes Thunder feels like there is no chance that his son will ept him. He feels unwanted and useless but he thinks that he can¡¯t give up, he can¡¯t just give up the family he hopes for. He just thinks that it stillckspensation for everything he has done to his wife.

    Jewel is not here now because she went with Kevin to take care of what happened at their housest week and also because of her parents¡¯ fears so they agreed to let them stay with Thunder for their safety too.

    He also chose to leave work for how many days to spend time for his family and because he wanted to focus on his son, he wanted to make up for everything. He knows that it will be hard for him to do it but he is determined to fix his family. He doesn¡¯t want to get to the point where he would regret doing nothing for his family. He doesn¡¯t want Jewel and his son to run away again.

    After a few minutes Jewel arrives and now they are going to Dark¡¯s house because Calleigh said that she misses Jewel and she also wants to see Storm, she will give birth in a few months so she has to be more careful.

    After they got ready, they left immediately so that the traffic wouldn¡¯t catch up with them. Jewel also knew what was going on between her son and her husband, but Thunder told her not to worry because it¡¯s okay with him.

    They also traveled for about 30 minutes before reaching the subdivision where Dark lives. They immediately went down and rang the doorbell at the gate. They were just outside when they heard Calleigh¡¯s voice.

    One of the maids quickly opened the gate.

    ¡°You¡¯re too loud Cali, be ashamed of your neighbors.¡± Jewel teased her friend as soon as they entered.

    ¡°What¡¯s so loud about that? I am not shouting,¡± she said and red at her friend

    Thunder sat next to Dark. ¡°Good that you¡¯re enduring her evilness bro? You know you still have time to think and change your mind and leave Cali.¡± Thunder said and looked at Cali

    Cali stood up ring at him. ¡°You know, Thunder I am happy that you and my bestfriend are back again, but the shape of your tongue still doesn¡¯t improve. I hope the food you eat is delicious, right?¡±

    The three of themughed because of what Calli said that she was even more annoyed.

    ¡°Can you just shut up tita Calli? You¡¯re too noisy, maybe after a few months the baby won¡¯te out because he¡¯s scared of your voice.¡± Storm groaned

    ¡°You know baby Storm you shouldn¡¯t go near your father, because you¡¯re infected with him.¡± Cali said to the child

    ¡°Why? He is my father, so it¡¯s okay if we have some simrities,¡± Storm defended.

    The four of them looked at each other because of what the boy said. Unbeknownst to them, Storm did not treat his father well so it was surprising that he seemed to be defending him.

    ¡°Are you and your daddy okay now?¡± Calli asked in shock

    ¡°I didn¡¯t say that thing tita, don¡¯t be stupid! I only say that he is my father that¡¯s why there is nothing wrong if we have resemnce especially in behavior,¡± he exined and turned to Dark. ¡°Tito D are you sure you want to marry tita Calli? You need to think twice,¡± he asked Dark who couldn¡¯t stop himself fromughing .Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    Calleigh just sat down. ¡°You know next time don¡¯t make a child that smart like this, huh? You don¡¯t He don¡¯t want to lost in a debate,¡± sheined

    Their house was almost filled withughter.

    ¡°By the way, Cain still hasn¡¯t shown up in weeks.¡± Dark said out of nowhere.

    ¡°I talked to him yesterday and he said he was just fixing something with thepany so he was busy,¡± Thunder replied

    And since it was going to be lunch, they decided to have lunch at Dark¡¯s pool area because Storm wanted to swim so they just gave it a go and they also went swimming.

    Thunder and Dark were busy drinking, while Calleigh and Jewel were together in the pool and dipped their feet while watching Storm who was enjoying himself. ¡°Your song Mercyl is really handsome and smart, he really inherited it from Thunder,¡± Calli said

    Jewel raised an eyebrow at what her friend said. ¡°What do you want to say now? That I am ugly and not smart, huh?¡±

    Caliughed. ¡°Look at your face, it¡¯s priceless. Are you pregnant?¡± She jokingly said

    Jewel quickly pulled her friend¡¯s hair. ¡°Shut up, my son is there, he can hear what you are saying.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m just asking, there¡¯s nothing wrong with that best! Duh, you¡¯ve been together for a month now, it¡¯s impossible that nothing will happen to both of you. You¡¯ve been separated for a few years.¡± She is teasing Jewel

    ¡°You know you¡¯re so malicious, what now if we¡¯ve been together for a month? It¡¯s not required to have that thing. We are not like you and Dark that are still doing it even if you will give birth in a few months from now.

    ¡°Of Course that¡¯s what exercise is.¡± Calli said

    ¡°Whatever you say,¡± Jewel began to swim towards her son and left her friend who was stillughing.

    Thunder stared at his wife and son.

    ¡°Don¡¯t stare too much.¡± Dark said

    ¡°Stupid! Mind your own business.¡±

    ¡°Jewel is really a brave woman to forgive you for everything bad you¡¯ve done against her. It¡¯s proof that she¡¯s really kind even if you haven¡¯t been kind to her.¡±

    Thunder quickly drank the beer from the ss he was holding. ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking about that for a long time, since we got along. I¡¯m thinking that she¡¯ll not be able to give me another chance to ept me back into her life with our son, but as we talked before, she told me that she still doesn¡¯t forgive mepletely and I understand that, but I¡¯m still happy to see if there is still a chance to fix my family.¡± Thunder positively said

    ¡°We know that it wasn¡¯t easy for her, I can¡¯t quite imagine how Jewel survived all that, so you better fix it as soon as possible, make up with your wife first. Don¡¯t make the same mistake that you made before.¡± Dark seriously said

    ¡°I am happy and content with my family now so there is no reason for me to do what I did in the past.¡±

    ¡°Call Cain and tell them to go here.¡± hemanded

    ¡°I did before we went here but he is not answering.¡±

    ¡°It looks like Cain and Monique also have a problem,st time when Calli and I were in the mall we saw her son. I even asked him where Cain was but she just said hi in the meeting,¡± Dark eximed.

    ¡°You know what bro, I have a weird feelings about Monique,¡± he added

    Thunder immediately looked at him. ¡°W-what? Do you like Monique?¡±

    ¡°Stupid! What are you talking about? What I mean is she¡¯s kind but I have this feeling that we don¡¯t really know her yet, she seems to be hiding something.¡± Dark exined

    ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, I can¡¯t exin either. I just really feel different. One time I saw her, she was talking to someone on her phone like they were arguing,¡± he said.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just her friend. Let¡¯s just support Cain and I think Monique really loves our friend. Maybe we haven¡¯t been with her for a long time so that¡¯s what you have in mind.¡±

    Dark nodded at what his friend said, maybe it¡¯s true because they haven¡¯t been together for a long time so this is what he says.

    Later, they got up together and went to the pool to swim with their loved ones.

    It also took them almost a few hours before they finished swimming, they immediately went inside when it was getting dark, they just let the women bond first and the two of them prepared their dinner.

 Chapter 42

    Cain POV

    Cain is currently sitting in a restaurant in front of a woman, he received a message from her that he needed to know something. At first he ignored it because he had no ns to give that time but what he wondered was how the sender got his number. It sent him a message several times over and over again and one of them caught his attention attached to the message that the person knew what had happened to his friend Jewel so he didn¡¯t hesitate to meet with that person.

    He is now facing a woman, based on her appearance and dress it looks like she alsoes from a rich family.

    ¡°It¡¯s good that you epted my invitation,¡± the woman said

    ¡°Who are you? What do you know?¡± the young man asked directly

    The womanughed because of this. ¡°I guess you¡¯re in a hurry to find out, are you ready to get hurt by what you will find out Cain?¡±

    ¡°Who are you really? I¡¯m not kidding, so if you don¡¯t have to say I¡¯ll leave,¡± he said.

    But before he could leave, the woman suddenly spoke again, which stopped him. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know the truth about what happened to Thunder and why he did that to Jewel? Don¡¯t you want to know who did it?¡±

    Cain immediately returned to his seat. ¡°What do you know?¡±

    ¡°Do you know Monique?¡± the girl question

    ¡°Don¡¯t involve my girlfriend here,¡± the young man threatened

    ¡°Chill, I haven¡¯t said anything yet. I¡¯m not a fool to meet you without knowing anything, I won¡¯t waste my time for nothing.¡±

    ¡°What do you really know? Just say it now, I don¡¯t wanna waste my time on a nonsense thing,¡± the young man losing his patience now.

    The woman immediately took a photograph from her bag. ¡°You see this? This is Alexa, she is one of the ex-fling of your friend who happens to be the husband of Jewel. You know what happened a few years ago, right. She put a drug in Thunder¡¯s drink so he did that dirty thing to Jewel. And do you know who did that or whomanded Alexa to that thing? ¡±

    ¡°Who?¡± Cain asked, wanting to know the truth about what happened a few years ago.

    ¡°Monique,¡± the woman replied shortly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t y games with me, woman!¡± He is now angry

    ¡°And why would I? Do you think I¡¯m ying games with you? Com¡¯on Cain, I know you won¡¯t just believe what I¡¯m going to say. Look at this,¡± the woman said and handed something to him.

    ¡°See? Alexa and Monique are cousins, ¡¯cause the proof is in front of you. She ordered Alexa to destroy Thunder and Jewel¡¯s marriage because she wanted revenge for what happened to Daven.¡±

    Cain was shaken several times because he couldn¡¯t believe that the woman he loved was to me for why his friend broke down, the woman he trusted so much was the reason why Jewel suffered and almost went crazy.

    ¡°And if you think she loves you Cain, you¡¯re wrong. That¡¯s still part of her n. She pretends to be interested in you so she can get closer to Jewel and do what she wants. She just used you Cain. If you don¡¯t want to believe it, here¡¯s the video recorder, where she¡¯s talking to someone. ¡± The woman added

    Cain epted it and pressed the y button, he heard his girlfriend talking on the other line. And what broke his heart was what he heard from here saying that she would only use Cain to get close to Jewel.

    The young man hardly knew how he would react to what he had seen and heard.

    The woman grabbed her bag and stood up. ¡°It¡¯s up to you now Cain if you will believe what I said to you or not. I just told the truth, so you won¡¯t be fooled,¡± She said and walked away from the restaurant.

    Cain was still unable to move and several times closed his eyes as his two fists clenched in anger.

    He didn¡¯t know what to do, he couldn¡¯t bear to think that Monique would be able to talk to them especially to Jewel as if nothing had been done wrong to her, who you thought hadn¡¯t ruined her life.

    He quickly got up and went out of the restaurant, he needed to talk to Monique, he wanted everything toe out of her own mouth. He wants to know the truth.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Margaux POV

    I¡¯m already in my car now, so much happiness I feel now because I can see the anger in Cain¡¯s eyes because of what he found out.

    Poor Monique, she deserves it for being ungrateful to me. After all I have done to her, she will leave me, if she thought it was that easy she was wrong. The person she chose to turn her back on was wrong, let¡¯s see now she faces Cain now.

    She quickly picked up her phone and called Monique.

    ¡°What do you need, Marga?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s with the question Monique? I just want to call you and say hello, you know it¡¯s been a long time since west met.¡± she said

    ¡°Don¡¯t fool me Marga, I know you! Why did you call?¡±

    ¡°Chill, Hahahaha! You¡¯re so hot -headed. I just want to remind you that the day is near, and you know what it is.¡±

    ¡°How many times have I told you Marga that I don¡¯t want to interfere in your ns, I¡¯m out there. I don¡¯t want to get involved!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve been involved in this for a long time Monique, from the very beginning you agreed to help me you were involved. Let me tell you this, do you want Cain to know everything? That you ordered your cousin Alexa to destroy the Thunder and Jewel? How would he react when he found out that the person he loved was the reason why his friend, whom she considered as a sister brother, suffered? ¡± She threatening her

    ¡°Why are you so quiet now? I already told you that I¡¯m a bad enemy Monique, so if you don¡¯t want to lose what you care the most, follow the n.¡± she added and dropped the call without even waiting for the other person¡¯s answer

    A triumphant smile shed on the lips of the maiden Margaux, she thought everything was in ordance with her wishes and ns. First there is to destroy the rtionship of Cain and Monique which she seems to have done well.

    ¡®I told you Monique, I¡¯m a tough opponent and I know I can¡¯t use you anymore.¡¯- she said to herself and quickly started the engine of her car and drove away from the restaurant.

 Chapter 43

    Cain remained sitting inside his car, he is here now at the outside of the building where his girlfriend lives. He stayed for a few more minutes before deciding to get out of his car and enter the building.

    While he was riding in the elevator he still didn¡¯t lose his temper, he thought he wouldn¡¯t feel this way to his girlfriend.

    When the elevator opened he walked quickly until he reached the door of Monique¡¯s unit, he knocked three times before it opened.

    ¡°Hi babe,¡± the girl smiled at him and kissed him but he ignored it and went straight inside.

    The girl was very surprised by her boyfriend¡¯s attitude, but she didn¡¯t make it a big deal and just closed the door before following him.

    She saw Cain just standing there. ¡°Are you okay? What do you want to eat babe?¡± She asked, but she didn¡¯t get an answer.

    She walked beside Cain and hugged him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem?¡±

    Cain removed hee embrace and faced her. ¡°We need to talk.¡± He said in a serious voice.

    ¡°About what?¡±

    ¡°I wanna ask you something, before we went to Canada, are you here in the Philippines or did you go back here?¡± He asked

    The girlugh. ¡°What? Are you seriously asking me that question? Of course not. You know I¡¯m in canada.¡±

    The young man closed his eyes firmly. ¡°Who is Alexa?¡±

    Monique suddenly turned pale at hearing the name mentioned by her boyfriend. ¡°W-who¡¯s Alexa? I d-don¡¯t know her babe,¡± she stammered in response

    The young man sighed as if holding back his anger. ¡°I¡¯m giving you a chance Monique, who is Alexa?¡±

    ¡°What the heck, I said I didn¡¯t know that person.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± with a sarcastic promise of the young man andugh. ¡°Howe you don¡¯t know Alexa, if you are two of our cousins?¡±

    Monique¡¯s eyes widened because of what she heard, she suddenly felt nervous because of it.

    ¡°Almost 3 or 4 years ago when Jewel left Thunder¡¯s because of what he did to her. Jewel suffered from pain, stress and depression. She woke up every night because she was dreaming of what she had gone through. She suffered big time! For her it was the worst nightmare of her life. And when she survived in that situation we went to Canada to continue her life. And then after months she found out that she was pregnant, she got depressed again and almost had an abortion that cause her life in in danger and you know that Monique .¡± the young man said. ¡°And you know what I discovered?¡± heughed bitterly.

    ¡°Alexa, who was Thunder¡¯s ex-fling, is the reason why Thunder did that terrible thing to his own wife by putting drugs in my friend¡¯s! But you know what¡¯s more painful, Monique? Is when I find out who is really behind that.¡± he added

    ¡°C-cain, what are you saying?¡± Monique is already trembling

    ¡°Stop this drama of yours Monique! Damn it! I know you know what I mean, don¡¯t act stupid infront of me! I already know the truth, I know everything, I know that you are the mastermind, you ordered your cousin Alexa to do it so the couple could be separated! ¡± he shouted

    ¡°B-babe, l-let m-me exin please.¡± She stepped closer but the young man shook his head.

    ¡°Don¡¯te near me! What will you exin, huh? Will you seed in your n? That you did a good job to separate my friends? Well, congrats! You did well,¡± He scoffed.

    ¡°It¡¯s n-not like that C-cain, please hear me out,¡± she pleaded

    ¡°You had many chances Monique, but you didn¡¯t tell me the truth. You befriended Jewel because you had a n and I realized now why you became close to me, w-wait let me rephrase it, you make me believe that you love me. Hahahaha.¡±

    ¡°B-babe, that¡¯s not true. I-I love you, I love you so much. I didn¡¯t use you,¡± she started to cry but Cain didn¡¯t care about it. He just stared nkly at the woman who betrayed him.

    Monique came over to hug him but he backed away. ¡°C-cain believe me, I really love you.¡±

    ¡°Damn you!¡± He shouted and punched the wall. ¡°You love me? That¡¯s not love Monique! Do you think I will believe you? I¡¯m not stupid! You know you are a terrible liar and a hypocrite one.¡±

    Monique¡¯s crying got even louder because of what the person she loved said. She couldn¡¯t quite imagine that they would go this far,

    ¡°I-I didn¡¯t intend to hurt your friends, I didn¡¯t want to do it.¡±

    ¡°Fuck it! Is it not your intention? Are you kidding? You nned everything and then you will say to me that it is unintentionally? Are you happy with what you did? Are you happy that they got seperated for how many years? Are you happy with everything Jewel went through, huh? I know the past you¡¯ve been through! But it¡¯s not Jewel¡¯s fault with what had happened in the past! It¡¯s not her fault if Daven saved her! Your boyfriend wanted to save his best friend, that¡¯s why he died! ¡± He shouted

    ¡°C-cain understands me, It hurts me so much to know that Daven is gone. All I think is, it¡¯s Jewel¡¯s fault because if Daven hadn¡¯t followed her he would still be alive until now. He wouldn¡¯t die!¡±

    ¡°So you want to deprive Jewel? Because you med her for your ex boyfriend¡¯s death? She didn¡¯t kill Daven! The murderer is already in jail but you still want to destroy Jewel¡¯s life and you used me.¡±

    ¡°C-cain, please let¡¯s fix this.¡± She is now begging

    ¡°Fix this? This matter can¡¯t be fixed because you chose to betray me! I will never trust a woman like you! You know what? I thought you were different from other women I met but I¡¯m wrong cause now you are the worst.¡± He said without any hesitation

    Monique almost fell to her knees at what the person she loved said, even though she hadmitted a mistake but she knew in her mind and heart that she really loved Cain.

    ¡°C-cain, I love you so much. D-don¡¯t leave me,¡± she cried

    ¡°I can¡¯t be with someone as bad as you! I regret loving you! I regret trusting you.¡± Cain eyes is like a

    Monique quickly stood up and approached the young man. He hugged him tightly as if she didn¡¯t want to let go but it didn¡¯tst long either because Cain quickly pulled away from her and pushed her away.

    ¡°Trust is like a piece of paper, once it¡¯s crumpled it will never be the same again. I love you Monique, I¡¯ve been honest with you all the time, but what I didn¡¯t don¡¯t know is that everything you show is just for your own n, because of my great love for you, I was crushed, I built you to destroy me. Loving you is giving me pain. I wish I had never met you, I wish I had never loved you. ¡± the young man seriously said and walked away

    Monique was on her knees when she heard the door open and close, signaling that the young man had left and walked away in her life.

    Her chest almost clenched at Cain¡¯s words, nothing hurts more than hearing from the person you love that he regrets meeting and loving you. It was like a broken record that kept repeating those words in her mind.

    She wondered if they had reallye this far. She loves Cain so much so she prefers not to help Margaux because she doesn¡¯t want to lose the young man, but this time it seems like everything is already destroyed. She knows that Cain will be very when he finds out everything so this is also the reason why she can¡¯t tell him what she did wrong, she knows that Jewel is like a sister to Cain so she can¡¯t me him for why the man she loves reacted like this . And she knew that when Thunder and Jewel found out about it, they might be angry at her too, how many years were wasted for the two couples because of what she did, and how many years Storm had no known father because of her.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    A few minutes she is thinking about how Cain found out about or who told him about this matter, then suddenly something pops up in her mind. Who is it? She clenched her two hands because of this. ¡°You¡¯re a devil, Margaux! I know that you¡¯re the only one who did it, you¡¯re the one who told Cain,¡± she whispered to herself.

    Monique POVC¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    Monique quickly left her unit because she was going to Margaux, she couldn¡¯t quite imagine that after all all she had done and as well as help her she would be able to betray her.

    She quickly got in his car and drove to the house of her ex boyfriend¡¯s sister whom she considered as a sister and friend too, she couldn¡¯t ept the fact that Margaux did it, the only anger she felt now was with the girl.

    About 30 minutes had passed when she reached Margaux house, she quickly went out to her car and entered inside. She caught up with Margaux who was sitting frontally on their veranda while holding a bottle of wine.

    She walked closer to her. ¡°How dare you Marga,¡± she eximed in front of the woman

    ¡°Hey Monique, you are here. W-wait, What are you saying?¡±

    Her hand quicklynded on the girl¡¯s cheek out of rage. ¡°Don¡¯t pretend that you didn¡¯t do anything! I already know what you did, you told Cain about what I did! You betrayed me!¡± She shouted angrily

    Margaux rubbed her cheek because of the p given by the girl, but she didn¡¯t mind it becauseter on she smiled shockingly. ¡°You know why? I did it for you, you said you can¡¯t tell it straight to him so I did you a favor and did it. I thought that you already know that this is exactly what would happen when he finds out, you should thank me because I told him earlier.¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have the right! And because of what you did he is now angry at me. Are you happy now? Let me tell you Marga don¡¯t expect that I will help you!¡± she then turned around and walked away from her friend¡¯s house

    She quickly got into his car, she couldn¡¯t help but be upset because of what had happened. She didn¡¯t think that Marga would ruin what she had now with Cain. She didn¡¯t know what to do now because she could see the anger in the young man¡¯s eyes.

    Margaux POV

    I could see the anger in Monique¡¯s eyes when she came here and I knew it would happen. Monique loves Cain so much so she knows that she¡¯ll react like this but she doesn¡¯t care. She doesn¡¯t need the girl anymore so he doesn¡¯t care what happens to her.

    ¡®I told you Monique, you can¡¯t be happy.¡¯ ¨C she thought of it and gulped down the ss with a wine

    She walked and sat on the sofa. The girl felt happy because she thought everything was fixed in her n, she quickly picked up her phone that was at the bottom of the table and called someone.

    ¡°Hello madam,¡± the voice on the other line

    ¡°Is everything okay?¡±

    ¡°Yes madam, everything is settled now.¡± the voice answered

    The girl¡¯s smile widened even more because of great joy. ¡°That¡¯s good to hear, just wait for the next time I call to make the n.¡± She remembered and dropped the call.

    FASTFORWARD

    It¡¯s been a week and nothing much has happened in their lives. As for Cain and Monique, they still haven¡¯t talked or gotten along.

    Monique is currently at Jewel¡¯s house because she has been thinking for a few days that she will tell everything to the couple and this is the right time for it. Jewel was so disappointed to the point that she even cried when she found out the truth.

    Monique was very remorseful because she apologized for being blinded by revenge. And because of Jewel¡¯s kindness, she forgave her, making her feel even more guilty. She knows it¡¯s not easy to forgive because what she did a year ago, she ruined a family. If Jewel was able to forgive her Thunder was not, he was so angry with Monique when he knew everything, he could not ept the fact that it was all nned and because of that he did something terrible to his wife and Jewel left him and he had not been with the child for several years.

    Monique understands why Thunder is angry because she knows in herself that what she did was wrong, she didn¡¯t stay long at the couple¡¯s house and left immediately, while Jewel went upstairs to talk to her husband.

    Jewel slowly opened the door of their room, their son was not here now because Storm was in his grandparents house. She approached her husband who was sitting quietly on the bed.

    ¡°Still angry or not in the mood?¡± she asked, Thunder did not move and remained silent.

    ¡°You don¡¯t want to talk to me?¡± she asked again.

    Thunder sighed first and then looked at her. ¡°I just don¡¯t know how I will react because of what I found out, she is Cain¡¯s girlfriend and I don¡¯t know how I will deal with the person who ruined us, then you easily forgave her,¡± he admitted.

    Jewel held her husband¡¯s hand. ¡°Hon, I know it¡¯s hard for you and I¡¯m not forcing you to forgive Monique. I just don¡¯t want to harbor resentment or anger because I¡¯m okay now and I¡¯m with you together with our child. Even though I forgive her, it doesn¡¯t mean that what she did is okay with me, the pain of the past is still here. ¡±

    ¡°You are really a kind hearted woman, I know in time I can forgive her but not now,¡± He said and his wife immediately agreed.

    She knew it wasn¡¯t easy for Thunder to find out even though she herself didn¡¯t know how she would react when Monique said everything, but she also couldn¡¯t forget that the woman helped her when they were still in Canada and another one he somehow considered Monique as her friend. And she understands that the woman only did that because of what happened to Daven and she sees how remorseful it is. One of the things she was worrying about now was her friend Cain because she had found out that he already knew everything so she knew that the young man was hurting now.

    ¡®I just hope they¡¯re both okay.¡¯ she said to herself

    ¡°What are you thinking? ¡°Thunder suddenly asked

    ¡°I was just thinking of Cain. I know he¡¯s not okay now after knowing everything.¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t me Cain. It¡¯s painful to know that the person he loves has done those things,¡± he said.

    The girl leaned on Thunder¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Will they still get along?¡± She whispered

    ¡°Only the two of them can say that hon, it¡¯s not just a simple issue between them. Cain felt betrayed, but we don¡¯t know what will happen if they really love each other they will get along. They just need to restore the trust that was broken. Monique needs to work on it. You know, Cain when he is angry.¡±

    The girl nodded because of what her husband said, it is difficult to gain back the trust that has been broken. And they know that Cain is a great man but difficult to handle when he¡¯s angry. Cain hated most when someone is lying while he is being true to that person so they knew Monique would have a hard time with this.

 Chapter 45

    After Monique went to Jewel¡¯s house she went straight to a famous bar, almost two weeks ago when they had a misunderstanding as a couple and until now they still can¡¯t talk to Cain, she doesn¡¯t know what else she need to do, she called Cain how many times but she didn¡¯t get an answer, she also went to his condo but he didn¡¯t face it.

    She even went to the young man¡¯s office several times but it was always in that meeting, his secretary told her. The other day he saw it in a mall. She was nning to approach him but she stopped walking when she saw a woman with Cain.

    She felt hurt but she could do nothing because she knew she had made a mistake.

    She has been following Cain for almost a week but she always sees it with a woman, every time she sees it she seems to be crushed but she can do nothing but ept it. Someone also said that Cain was often at the bar and drank sometimes with his friends, she also knows that Thunder is angry with her.

    A few minutester she reached the bar, she quickly parked her car and went straight inside. She felt that she needed alcohol now.

    She sat at the bar counter because she was alone, she ordered tequ and the bartender served it right away. She was in the middle of drinking when she noticed a familiar person at a table not far from where she was.

    At first she is not sure if who it is butter she recognized it was Cain, the man she would never forget but now she is seeing the man she loved with someone else and kissing another woman.

    Suddenly her tears flowed because of what she saw, now she seemed to know the answer to her questions. It seems that Cain has already started to move on. It hurts but that¡¯s the painful truth, she tried to avoid him but her body and eyes are not cooperating.

    Later she was surprised to see Cain look at him butter he just diverted her attention again to the woman he was with. Monique just smiled.

    Cain¡¯s POV

    I¡¯m here at the bar now to pass the time. I¡¯m very tired from work because for almost two weeks I¡¯ve only been doing meetings. While I was sitting alone and drinking, someone approached my woman.

    ¡°Hi, handsome are you alone?¡± the woman askedN?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    I didn¡¯t answer her and continued to drink but she was just talkative and sat beside me and since I¡¯m alone I started talking to her also, she¡¯s pretty and funny. But I was surprised when she suddenly kissed me and because I was drunk I was carried away. After a few seconds I saw Monique staring at us, at first I thought that I was mistaken that this is not her, but in the long run I knew it was her cause I know her very well. I could see her tears dripping so I quickly averted my gaze from her and turned back to the woman I was talking to.

    The woman beside me continues to talk but my attention is on Monique who has now turned her back on me and drinking alone, even though we are not okay I am still worried about her especially and now she is the only one here at the bar. I don¡¯t want anything bad to happen to her.

    It¡¯s been almost two hours and I¡¯m still drinking while the woman I talked to earlier is still here.

    Later we saw Monique approaching our ce.

    ¡°Can I sit here?¡± she said while holding a ss of tequ. I know that she is already drunk

    ¡°And who are you? Can¡¯t you see, we want to spend our time together,¡± The woman beside me said.

    ¡°And so? You think I care? I¡¯m not talking to you so don¡¯t talk to me also,¡± Monique replied.

    ¡°You wille here to our table then make a scene here. Pathetic!¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t own the table and chair here and most of all you don¡¯t own this man,¡± Monique said.

    ¡°You bitch! Get out of here!¡± the woman shouted

    Monique wants to say something but Cain speaks. ¡°Enough you two! Don¡¯t make a scene here, if you want to fight then go outside and not in front of me.¡± Cain¡¯s voice was in a serious tone

    ¡°I don¡¯t want any fight here Cain, this woman started it,¡± the woman next to him defended.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything! I¡¯m just asking if I can sit here. And oh I¡¯m not talking to you but you keep on talking to me you are an attention seeke stupid bitch!¡± insult by Monique

    ¡°I said enough! What do you want, Monique? Stop making ¡± Cain shouted.

    Monique could hardly believe what the young man said.

    ¡°Am I making a scene here? Really Cain? She started this, I asked you but she¡¯s the one interfering in the conversation,¡± she replied to the young man.

    ¡°She is with me and I don¡¯t see anything wrong. You came here without our permission. Don¡¯t bring your bitchy attitude here,¡± he said.

    Monique¡¯s mouth fell open because the young man said she felt embarrassed because of it. She felt pain so before her tears could drip in front of the two turned around it walked away.

    ¡®You¡¯re good at hurting me, Cain.¡¯ she whispered

    Cain on the other hand, felt remorse for what he had done to Monique, he did not mean to say it but when he did not intervene they could grab their attention from other people here. He quickly stood up and left the woman and walked to follow Monique, he even heard the woman calling to him but he no longer paid attention to it.

 Chapter 46

    Monique¡¯s steps were quick, she felt so much pain because of what the young man had done to her. She went back to the counter and ordered a drink, she had nothing else now but to get drunk. She was right to drink her order when suddenly someone snatched it.

    ¡°What! That¡¯s mine, you can order yours.¡± she shouted and grabbed the ss.

    ¡°Go home now Monique, it¡¯s toote,¡± Cain insisted

    ¡°Leave me alone, I can manage to go home.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be stubborn, go home now.¡± he said and quickly pulled her out of the bar.

    ¡°Let me go!¡±

    ¡°Come home, don¡¯t make any scene here.¡±

    ¡°Am I? I¡¯ve already left your table right? I¡¯m not getting myself into trouble now, so leave me alone!¡±

    ¡°And what do you think you did there? Isn¡¯t that a scene?¡±

    The girlughed heartily. ¡°So it¡¯s my fault. You want me to just let that woman say those trashful words, is that so?¡±

    ¡°She can¡¯t say that to you if you didn¡¯te in our table. She is only asking but what did you do? You were the first to say bad things to her. Grow up Monique!¡± Cain shouted

    Tears welled up in her eyes because of what Cain had said. She could not answer what the man said because she felt something stuck in her throat.

    ¡°Go home now and rest,¡± he said gently and turned away.

    But before he could turn back and walk away Monique suddenly hugged him. ¡°C-cain, are you still angry at me?¡±

    The young man sighed and pulled away from the girl¡¯s embrace. ¡°What do you think? I¡¯m avoiding you Monique, I¡¯m doing everything to avoid you, because every time I see you all the paines back to me because of all the things you did.¡±

    ¡°W-we can fix this r-right? I know what I did was wrong, but I can still change.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, because now I don¡¯t know if I can still trust you. You choose what situation we have, you ruined us. And I don¡¯t know if I can trust you, because every time I see you I always remember how you betrayed us, how you betrayed me.¡± Cains seriously said

    Monique almost cried but she didn¡¯t care, she needed to talk to Cain now.

    ¡°Can I ask you a favor? Please don¡¯te near me anymore. The wound is still fresh and I don¡¯t want to see you.¡± he added and then turned around but the girl quickly grabbed his arm

    ¡°C-cain please stay, y-you still love me don¡¯t you?¡± She is now begging

    Cain closed his eyes tightly and took Monique¡¯s hand and removed it from his arm and walked away.

    Monique was left speechless as she stared at the receding figure of the man she loved. She can¡¯t express how painful she was feeling right now because she already got the answer. Cain doesn¡¯t want to see her anymore. Maybe she should ept the fact that this is the end of their story.

    Monique got up and got in her car, there was no reason for her to stay in this ce because she might get hurt even more.

    Little did she know that when she got in her car Cain followed him. Even though they weren¡¯t okay he was still worried for the girl, he didn¡¯t want to hurt her and didn¡¯t answer her question, but this was the only way he could do to prevent the girl from hurting. He didn¡¯t want them to have a conversation nor to see each other again because he might get hurt even more, he needs to be okay and ept what Monique had done wrong before he could talk to her.

    When he saw her crying he wanted toe back and hug her but he restrained himself, he thought it was the best thing to do. And when he saw that she was already in the car, he quickly got in his car and followed her to make sure Monique got home safely.

    They had already reached the building where Monique¡¯s condo was, but he still couldn¡¯t see it get out of the car so he stayed there first. A few more minutes passed and he saw ite out and go straight into the building. He didn¡¯t even get out of his car to follow the girl, it was okay for him to see that she got home safely. He waited a few more seconds before turning on the engine of his car and driving home.

    When Monique entered her unit she immediately went straight to her room and flopped on the bed, she poured out all the pain she was feeling now by crying, at least there to avoid the pain somehow. She loves Cain so much and she doesn¡¯t think they will get to the point where their rtionship would fall apart.

    She felt sorry for herself, a Monique who is one of the famous model in Canada just chased and begged to a man but she didn¡¯t care as long as if it for the person she loved, but it was clear to her that she had nothing to look forward to Cain because the man had turned his back on earlier.

    It hurts but she has to ept, she made a mistake so he has to face it.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    The next day, the couple Thunder and Jewel woke up early because they were going home because Jewel¡¯s mom set up lunch with Thunder¡¯s family, only now they will have aplete party. After a few hours, they left their house so that the traffic would not catch up with them.

    It will take another hour before they arrive at Dawson Residence so it is better for them to leave early, as soon as they get out of the car Storm runs and immediately. ¡°Mommy,¡± he shouted and kissed Jewel¡¯s cheek and then approached. The three of them went inside at the same time because their parents were waiting for them.

    ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re here, your son has been asking for a while.¡± Thunder¡¯s mom said

    ¡°Hey son, how was the chasing of your wife and son?¡± Thunder¡¯s father asked jokingly

    ¡°It looks like he¡¯s still begging for my daughter for her forgiveness,¡± Jewel¡¯s father said

    The girl Jewel¡¯s face almost blushed because of what she heard. Thunder quickly grabbed her hand to calm her down.

    ¡°Come and let¡¯s eat,¡± said by Jewel¡¯s mother

    While they were eating, Storm asked permission if he could y in the garden and Jewel agreed.

 Chapter 47

    Dawson¡¯s Residence..

    Dawson and Alcantara ate happily as they talked about their children while Storm continued to y in their garden.

    As they continued to have their chitchat they heard an ented shouting from outside. They were immediately rmed so they stood up at the same time, Thunder quickly ran outside because of the nervousness of hearing the child¡¯s cry.

    But when they all got out, suddenly someone fired a gun so they all hid, they saw people wearing a mask holding Storm and the little boy in a van. They could not do many things because they could not get out of where they were.

    Jewel started crying and was even nning to chase the van to where the son was when Thunder stopped her because something bad might happen to her.

    They thought everything was fine.

    They thought it was happy andplete.

    But why did this happen again?

    Why did someone take their child?

    Who did it?

    They quickly went back inside, Thunder¡¯s father called the police and Jewel¡¯s father called Kevin and together with his friend. They need to know where Storm was.

    Jewel cried and cried because of the fear she felt for her child, and her husband Thunder hugged her.

    It was a few more hours before Kevin and the cops arrived. They have already told what happened to them.

    Kevin¡¯s friend quickly opened theptop and borrowed Jewel¡¯s phone to plug in.

    ¡°At this moment we can¡¯t think of anyone who can do this, our only hope to find out who took your son is if the kidnapper will call Jewel,¡± a police officer eximed.

    ¡°W-what if the kidnappers don¡¯t call me? W-what will happen to my son? What if they will hurt Storm? My poor baby,¡± Jewel cried

    ¡°Calm down hon, we will find our son.¡± Thunder¡¯s assuranceC¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    Later on, Dark came with Calleigh, because Thunder called him earlier and told what happened as well as Cain.

    ¡°Cali,¡± Jewel quickly stood up and hugged her friend

    ¡°I brought Calli with me, she doesn¡¯t want to be left in our house. She says she¡¯s too worried for her friend and Storm,¡± Dark said and sat down beside Thunder

    While the police were nning and also waiting for news, Cain came.

    ¡°No news yet?¡± He asked immediately and was just answered by Thunder

    ¡°Hon, you¡¯d better rest first, you and Calli,¡± Thunder said to his wife but she just shook her head.

    ¡°You both need to rest,¡± Cain seconded

    ¡°We¡¯ll take care of it, go upstairs now and rest until it¡¯s alreadyte. Calli, babe you also need to sleep, it¡¯s not good for our baby,¡± Dark added.

    But Jewel was just stubborn and didn¡¯t want to follow what was told to her, so they did nothing but let it go. Meanwhile, Dark took Calli to Jewel¡¯s guest room to rest.

    While their parents also rested due to tiredness.

    While they were busy, Jewel¡¯s phone suddenly rang so they looked at it at the same time. Jewel quickly picked it up and looked at who the caller was but an unknown number was listed. There seems to be only one thing on their minds right now.

    Jewel pressed it and answered the call.

    ¡°W-who¡¯s this?¡± Jewel asked weakly

    ¡°Hello Jewel, how are you? Maybe you¡¯re scared now? Hmm. You¡¯re scared for your child,¡± the voice on the other line said.

    No one spoke to them so that Jewel¡¯s interlocutor would not know that there were people with her, while the police continued to trace the location of the caller.

    ¡°W-what do you want? W-where¡¯s my son? Give him back please,¡± Jewel pleaded.

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to know who I am.¡±

    They heard their son¡¯s voice screaming for help so Jewel almost cried because of it.

    ¡°D-don¡¯t h-hurt h-him please, t-tell me w-what you need. Just give me back my a-son,¡± Jewel said

    ¡°You can¡¯t tell me what I should or shouldn¡¯t do! It¡¯s still less than everything you did Jewel! I¡¯ll make you pay for what you took from me, I¡¯ll make sure that you will feel the pain that I feel! You¡¯re the reason why he¡¯s gone!¡± the person she is talking to shouted that you can feel the rage

    She stopped for a moment because of what she said. She could not understand what the caller meant, she did not remember that she hurt someone.

    She was about to speak but the other line was already off. Thunder hugged him quickly. ¡°Calm down hon.¡±

    ¡°S-she might hurt Storm, s-she might hurt our son.¡± she said while hugging her husband tightly

    ¡°Everything will be alright. Okay? We will get Storm.¡±

    ¡°We saw the location but it wasn¡¯t clear because the call was immediately cut off so we can¡¯t see where is the exact location is, but the ce is only close to here for about two or three hours,¡± said the policeman, who was still typing on theptop

    Later, there was a knock on their door and Dark quickly opened it, spitting on Monique. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Cain asked

    ¡°I heard about what happened, I just wanted to help,¡± she replied

    ¡°And you think you can help? How can you do that?¡± Cain mockery said

    ¡°I know Margaux did this and I know where she can take Storm,¡± Monique said bluntly.

    ¡°H-how did you know,¡± Dark asked in astonishment.

    ¡°How can¡¯t she not know Dark, that crazy Margaux is her friend and I won¡¯t be surprised if she knows that it will happen too.¡± Cain said sarcastically

    It was painful for Monique but she had to be patient to help the couple. ¡°I¡¯m not like that Cain, I stopped helping Marga a long time ago.¡± she¡¯s calm defense even though she knew the young man would not believe her

    ¡°If you want to help tell to the police what you know now, so that you can make up for what you against my family years ago,¡± Thunder suddenly said

    She nodded, she knows that Thunder is still angry with her.

    ¡°Hon, please not now.¡± Jewel pleads with her husband

    Thunder didn¡¯t say anything because of this. Monique walked quickly to the police to tell them what information she knew.

 Chapter 48

    ¡°Are you sure Ms. that my niece was actually brought in this ce with that woman?¡± Kevin asked

    ¡°I¡¯m sure of it.¡± the girl replied

    ¡°I hope that this is true, we trust you this time even if you did something wrong to my cousin.¡±

    ¡°Let her Kev, Margaux is her friend so she definitely knows where it is. After all they n all of this,¡± Cain interjected.

    It was painful for Moniue but she just ignored it. She knew in herself that she wanted to help Jewel for her child as well.

    ¡°We need to prepare, we¡¯re going to the ce that Monique said so that we can save Storm immediately,¡± one of the police leader said

    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Kevin replied

    The men quickly stood up to attend to their departure. They didn¡¯t want to waste more time and went out already.

    ¡°Hon, don¡¯te with us. We¡¯ll take care of our son,¡± Thunder told his wife.

    ¡°No, I want toe. I won¡¯t be okay if I¡¯m just here and waiting. Please, Thunder let mee.¡±

    Thunder can¡¯t do anything and just let his wife go with them because he knew that even if he didn¡¯t agree it would just persist.

    It took them almost an hour and a half to travel, the couple was very nervous. And now they have reached the building that Monique says.

    ¡°Stay here hon, don¡¯t evere out you too Monique, it¡¯s too dangerous,¡± Thunder remindes

    Jewel nodded while Monique was silent. Thunder immediately came out with Cain, Dark didn¡¯te because he couldn¡¯t leave Calli.

    Ten minutester Jewel opened the car.

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Monique asked

    ¡°I¡¯m notfortable staying here I need to be sure that they are okay and my son is safe,¡± she replied

    ¡°What? Are you crazy? Thunder said we¡¯ll stay here.¡± Monique stopped her

    ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon. I just want to know what is happening now.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯lle with you,¡± Monique said and got out of the car too.

    They carefully walked the path where they had been Thunder.

    As they walked they heard gunfire so Monique pulled her to hide on the left side of the building. After a while, the gunfire stopped so they walked again, every time they passed there were people lying on the ground.

    Later, the gunfire started again so the two of them ran away and they did not realize that they had separated the path they were on. Jewel passed a room that was closed and she would not have noticed it when she suddenly heard a crying voice, she immediately went to that door and realized that it was her son¡¯s voice.

    She quickly opened the room to find where Storm was. As soon as she opened it, the child was exposed to her sitting in a chair with his hands and feet tied.

    She could not hold back her tears when she saw her own son¡¯s condition, the fear was obvious in Storm¡¯s eyes and she knew it would have an effect on the child. She didn¡¯t waste any minute and approached her son and untied him, after she removed the leash she hugged him tightly.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay baby, mommy is here now.¡± She whisper to her child who was still crying

    She held her son tightly, they had to get out of this room because they might have been caught by a bad person. They slowly walked out of the room.

    They were about to run when Jewel noticed someone approaching their way, so she pulled her son and hid on the side.

    Jewel almost called all the saints and prayed that they could be saved.

    ¡°Jewel I know you¡¯re here. Don¡¯t y hide-and-seek with me,¡± said by the voice who was very familiar to her.

    Her grip on the child tightened even more because of the extreme nervousness and fear she felt.

    ¡°If you think you can escape then you¡¯re wrong, I won¡¯t let you get out in this ce.¡± the woman said again emphatically

    Jewel took a deep breath because of what she heard, now she knew she was really chasing it. And she didn¡¯t want anything to happen to her son so she knelt down to the little boy who was still sobbing silently.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°B-baby, listen to mommy. Did you see that? Crawl over there, find daddy or Uncle Kevin or Uncle Cain,¡± she ordered here.

    ¡°H-how about you mom?¡± the child asked

    ¡°I will be fine baby, Mommy will follow you,¡±

    He nodded at her and started crawling and when she was sure that her son was away from her ce she came out and faced the woman.

    Her eyes almost popped out as she recognized who the woman in front of her was. She couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°M-margaux?¡±

    ¡°Oh finally, I¡¯m d you remember me right away unlike when we metst time.¡±

    ¡°A-what do you need from me? Why are you doing this?¡± she asked

    ¡°Why am I doing this? Because I want you to die! You are the reason why he died!¡± she shouted angrily

    ¡°Marga, we know I¡¯m not the one to me for what happened to your brother. I didn¡¯t want him to die either.¡± Jewel cried

    ¡°And who? Whose fault is it Jewel? If it weren¡¯t because of you he¡¯s still alive until now! So it is only right that you die also.¡± she said in a serious voice

    ¡°It¡¯s Daven¡¯s decision to save me Marga, I had nothing to do with it. I was also hurt by her loss.¡± Jewel¡¯s exnation

    ¡°I don¡¯t care how you feel because even if you say that it won¡¯t change the fact that you were the reason why he died! Why did the man I love disappeared.¡± she shouted again

    ¡°What are you talking about Marga? Stop it,¡± a voice suddenly said behind Jewel

    ¡°What a nice reunion indeed, I¡¯m right that you can¡¯t be trusted Monique! You¡¯re the one who brought them here. You¡¯re a traitor!¡± she turned her gaze to Monique who was walking beside Jewel

    ¡°This is the right thing to do Marga and not what you want. Daven won¡¯t be happy with what you are doing. Jewel is his best friend.¡± Jewel said

    ¡°There is still a chance, you can change Marga and live your life to the fullest,¡± Jewel added

    ¡°I don¡¯t care what you say. It¡¯s good that you two are here so you can die at the same time! You¡¯re the reason why Daven lost his attention to me, why he didn¡¯t love me anymore.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re siblings Marga! You can¡¯t love Daven! You think I don¡¯t know, huh? I know that I love him not as a brother but as a man, but you know you can¡¯t have him.¡± Monique said while Jewel¡¯s got surprise for the revtion

    ¡°You don¡¯t care who I love! We got along well before you came! But since you came into our lives everything has changed, he¡¯s always gone because you¡¯re together and when you left for Canada his time is still with you! ¡±

    ¡°Marga, please stop this. You know you are like a sister to me. You are important to me because you are the sister of my best friend.¡± Jewel pleaded

    ¡°No! I won¡¯t change my mind! You two need to die here!¡± she said at the same time pulling the trigger but even before Margaux fired the gun it suddenly fell down, they saw behind her was Jewel¡¯s cousin Kevin, he shot Margaux in the leg so it fell down.

    The police quickly approached her and arrested the woman.

 Chapter 49

    After that night Magaux was taken to the hospital for treatment of her wound and then Thunder ang Jewel were happy because they finally have their son back but he experienced trauma so they had to take him to a psychiatrist to be examined and take medication. They knew it would not be easy for their son what happened that night.

    Daven and Margaux¡¯s parents are currently at the Dawsons¡¯ house, apologizing profusely for what their daughter did. When they heard the news, they immediately took a flight to get home.

    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry for what our daughter did, we didn¡¯t know she would end up like this,¡± Marga¡¯s mother.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, what¡¯s more important is nothing bad happened.¡±

    ¡°How is Marga? Where is she?¡± Jewel couldn¡¯t help but ask, even though it had done them harm it was undeniable that the girl was still important to her because she was the sister of her best friend.

    ¡°She¡¯s okay and she¡¯s out of the hospital, your aunt and I also decided to put her in rehabilitation first so she can be treated,¡± Daven¡¯s father replied.

    ¡°B-why uncle?¡±

    ¡°We need to do something for her, she is not well Jewel, Marga is sick,¡± Daven¡¯s mother added.

    Thedy started the story about Marga, they had noticed for a long time that she treated her older brother Daven differently, it became sullen but at first they just ignored it because it was natural for the siblings to do that. But one day when Daven introduced Monique as his girlfriend, Marga became very different, she became hot -headed and became possessive of her older brother, so they decided to separate the two first.

    Everything went well because Margaux went back to normal, so they thought they were just mistaken, until one day they heard her talking to one of her friends and they found out that Marga was in love with her brother. They talked to Margaux about it and everything went well. Daven only came home once a week because he was also busy studying.

    Until one day they hear what happened to Daven, it had a big effect on Margaux she suffered from depression, she became quiet and often locked herself in her room. Fortunately, Monique was there to talk to her and apany her until her former energy returned. They thought that she was already okay. Until she said that she wants to be here in the Philippines as a parent they also allowed her, unbeknownst to them, she was nning something else.

    After a few hours, they said goodbye because they were going to visit Marga, while Jewel¡¯s parents also left because thepany still had to take care of them.

    Storm is not here now because he has a check up and Thunder¡¯s parents are with him.

    ¡°I know it! That woman is really crazy,¡± Calli eximed

    ¡°She is not crazy, don¡¯t judge her. Marga is kind,¡± Monique replied

    ¡°Oh c¡¯mon Nique, don¡¯t defend her, we all know the truth. If she was kind, these things would not happen. Look what happen to Storm he is suffering from trauma because of her,¡± Calli said again

    ¡°She has a reason, she is also a victim here. I¡¯m not on her side here, it¡¯s just we can¡¯t judge people because of what we see or what she has done. Let¡¯s also understand her side why she did that thing,¡± Monique defended.

    ¡°Whatever reason she has, she still did it wrong. Jewel was not to me for Daven¡¯s death. I hope she thought that too.¡±

    ¡°Enough babe, don¡¯t stress yourself about it,¡± Dark scolded so Calli stopped talkingN?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    ¡°No matter what you say to Calli it won¡¯t matter to Monique, she will defend that girl because they are friends,¡± Cain said.

    ¡°Even if she is not my friend Cain, I will say my opinion about this matter. We don¡¯t have rights to judge someone just because of the mistake they made,¡± Monique replied.

    ¡°Just like you? Is that what you want to say? Like when youmitted a mistake to my friends, you wanted to say that we can¡¯t judge you? And what do you want them to do that they forget what she did to their daughter?¡± Cain asked emphatically

    Jewel immediately stepped in because she didn¡¯t want to have another fight. ¡°Stop that guys, we¡¯d better just eat.¡±

    They all nodded quickly and went to the table at the same time.

    ¡°You know what guys, I think we need some vacation,¡± Calli said

    Dark nodded. ¡°You are right babe, it¡¯s been a while since we had a bonding together,¡± Dark agreed.

    Thunder turned to his wife. ¡°What do you think hon?¡±

    ¡°Yes sure, maybe we all need to refresh as well. It¡¯s been stressful weeks for us,¡± Jewel replied.

    ¡°How about you, Cain? Monique?¡± Calli asked

    ¡°Ahm I¡¯m not sure yet,¡± Monique replied,¡±

    ¡°What kind of answer is that?¡± Calli said

    ¡°Count me in, just tell me when. And about her, if she doesn¡¯t want to go let her. We¡¯re not her friends,¡± Cain said.

    ¡°She is part of the circle Cain, She is not your friend really because she is you ¡ª,¡± Calli didn¡¯t finish what was going to say when Cain interrupted

    ¡°Don¡¯t continue what you will say Calli, don¡¯t go back to the things that were done,¡± Cain said seriously.

    Thunder, Jewel, Dark and Calli, immediately looked up and shook their heads at the same time.

    ¡°You know what if you two have a problem just talk, finish what needs to be finished,¡± Calli said.

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to talk about, it¡¯s been a long time since everything was clear and done,¡± Cain said

    Monique, on the other hand, remained silent while eating.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough! Let¡¯s just n our vacation,¡± Jewel eximed.

    ¡°You are always a lightsaber hon.¡±

    ¡°Of course hon, that¡¯s how it should be if the atmosphere is heavy,¡± Jewel saidughing

    ¡°It seems like you are happytely,¡± Cain teased

    Jewel frowned. ¡°You¡¯re so mean to me Cain, you should support me. Hmp!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve changed my mind, I don¡¯t want to, your actions is like you¡¯re in high school confession to your crush Hahahaha!,¡± the young man added.

    ¡°Let him hon, I think he tasted something bitter or maybe he¡¯s really broken that¡¯s why he is like that,¡± Thunder defended his wife.

    Their table was filled withughter..

 Chapter 50

    The long -expected day of the friends came, they left and went to a resort in Batangas to rx. The couple wanted to take their child but their parents did not agree because they will take care of it first because they miss their grandson.

    They used Cain¡¯s car to use only one car because it was so big that they could fit six people in it and their belongings. They n to stay there for three days to make their vacation worthwhile, they still want to do it for a week but the men will be in the office.

    ¡°Nique just sit there next to Cain, after all he¡¯s the driver,¡± Jewel said

    At first the girl hesitated because Cain might get even angrier with her but she can¡¯t do anything.

    ¡°What are you waiting for? If you don¡¯t want toe much better,¡± Cain muttered and got into the car.

    She just sighed and rode on. She could not deny that Cain had hurt her so much not only by the way he treated her but also by the words he uttered.

    ¡°Who were you talking to earlier?¡± Dark suddenly asked.

    Cain looked at him for a moment before driving again. ¡°It¡¯s Sophia,¡±

    ¡°Woooh! Are you two talking again?¡± Thunder asked

    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time so yes, we are okay,¡± he replied

    ¡°W-wait wait, who¡¯s Sophia? Your cousin hon?¡± Jewel groaned and Thunder nodded

    ¡°Who¡¯s that? I know he¡¯s Thunder¡¯s cousin. But what¡¯s her rtionship with Cain?¡± Calli asked

    ¡°Cain¡¯s ex,¡± Dark replied

    Monique got almost uneasy because of what her friends were talking about. She is also aware that Cain had many ex -girlfriends and ex-flings, but she doesn¡¯t pay attention to it because in the past what she can¡¯t understand is why she was interested in Sophia.

    ¡°All I know is Sophy ising home,¡± Thunder whispered

    ¡°When? I also missed that woman,¡± Jewel eximed happily

    ¡°She¡¯s already here in the Philippines,¡± Cain replied

    ¡°Wow, You are updated in Sophia¡¯s whereabouts, did you twoe back as a couple already?¡± Dark teased, who was immediately punched by Calli and teased Monique who was silent.

    Dark¡¯s mouth really couldn¡¯t be stopped either. No one spoke to them because of the tension around them.

    They also know the truth that Cain and Sophia are just friends, because Sophia is already engaged to another man and it¡¯s been a long time since Cain and Sophia broke up. Almost all of them are friends with Sophia except for Calli and Monique who don¡¯t know the girl yet.

    They also took a few hours and it was almost night when they arrived at the resort.

    ¡°It looks like we need to have our dinner, the traffic is so annoying,¡± Dark eximed

    ¡°It¡¯s Friday so expected,¡± Jewel replied

    They just took their belongings and went straight to the room they had reserved. They reserved four rooms, one for Thunder and Jewel, one for Dark and Calleigh, one for Monique and one for Cain.

    ¡°Why do you need to have different rooms, Cain? You and Monique can only have the same room to save money,¡± said Calli.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want anyone else in my room Calli,¡± Cain replied

    ¡°Oh hey, let¡¯s hurry up and put our things away so we can eat as well,¡± Jewel said

    ¡°We¡¯re going to have a fireter, aren¡¯t we?¡± Calli asked

    ¡°Yes, so hurry up,¡± Jewel said and walked away, everyone quickly nodded.

    It was exactly seven o¡¯clock in the evening when they left their room together. They discussed that they would have dinner there at a seafood restaurant below the hotel where they were staying.

    They didn¡¯t have a hard time because there weren¡¯t that many people there so they could easily get a vacancy and order.

    ¡°What are you smiling Jew?¡± Cain suddenly asked,

    They have finished ordering and are just waiting for the food to arrive.

    ¡°I¡¯m just happy, we had time to bond again. It¡¯s been so long since thest time we have this,¡± she said

    ¡°Yeah, ourst vacation was you are still single and not married to Thunder then Cali and I weren¡¯t together yet,¡± Dark said .

    They talked a lot more andter their order arrived so they started eating, they were in the middle of eating when suddenly a woman approached Cain.

    ¡°Baby!¡± the woman whispered and kissed the young man on the cheek, which surprised Monique

    ¡°Phia,¡± Cain suddenly whispered and hugged the woman.

    When they finished hugging, the woman looked at the rest of them. ¡°Hi big bro Thunder and big sister Jewel,¡± she greeted the couple with a smile and also kissed them. ¡°Oh hi Dark, is this your girlfriend?¡± she said while looking at Calli.

    ¡°Long time no see Phy! Yes, this is Calleigh,¡± Dark introduced her girlfriend

    ¡°Hi sis, nice to meet you.¡± She also greeted Calli and the girl smiled.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    ¡°You¡¯ve changed a lot Phia, the more beautiful you be,¡± Jewel said

    ¡°Just like you, big sister,¡± she replied.

    ¡°What are you doing here? Who¡¯s with you?¡± Thunder ask to his cousin

    ¡°I¡¯m with my older brother, because his friends invited him here. But we¡¯re going home tomorrow because Dane has something important to do. Last time Cain mentioned that you would alsoe here,¡± she said.

    ¡°I have talked to Danest time at a meeting,¡± Thunder said

    Later, Sophia looked at Monique. ¡°Who is she? Is she Cain¡¯s ¡ª-¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s Monique, Jewel¡¯s friend Phy,¡± Cain replied promptly

    Jewel quickly looked at Monique as if worried.

    ¡°Hello Monique, you¡¯re pretty,¡±

    Monique smiled hard. ¡°Thank you Sophia, you¡¯re gorgeous too.¡±

    ¡°Do you have anything to doter? We¡¯ll have a fire after dinner, the staff has fixed everything we need. Wannae with us?¡± Dark asked

    ¡°Sure, but I need to go back first, I¡¯ll need to tell this to my brother so that he won¡¯t bother to find me anymore,¡± she replied

    ¡°I¡¯ll call him,¡± Thunder said

    Later, they suddenly saw Sophia¡¯s older brother approaching them.

    ¡°Hey guys, It¡¯s nice to meet you all again here,¡± he greeted with a smile.

    ¡°Big bro Dane !!¡± Jewel shouted sharply and quickly hugged the young man

    ¡°You are still acting like a child Mercyl whenever you see me,¡± he said with augh

    The girl immediately sniffed because of this. ¡°How are you bro? It¡¯s good to see you here again,¡± Thunder said

    ¡°I¡¯m still handsome bro.¡±

    He also greeted Cain and Dark, they know Dane because apart from being Thunder¡¯s cousin, they also take the young man to business gatherings. While he met Calli, Dark¡¯s girlfriend when hest returned to the Philippines.

    ¡°Wait, is this your girlfriend Monique, right Cain?¡± Dane suddenly said

    ¡°No brother, Monique is Jewel¡¯s friend,¡± Sophia replied

    Dane looked at the men as if asking questions but they just shrugged and immediately nodded. He knew the truth that this was Cain¡¯s girlfriend, but he didn¡¯t ask any more questions because he didn¡¯t want to cause any more trouble.

    Before Dane said goodbye and returned to his friends, Sophia asked her brother permission to hang out with Thunder¡¯s group and her brother agreed.

 Chapter 51

    They are now near the ocean, the men brought beer while the women just juice. They sat around while there was a fire in the middle.

    ¡°Guys let¡¯s y spin the bottle for fun,¡± Calli suddenly eximed

    They all agreed and started ying. Calli spun first because she was the one who initiated it, they just yed the game and justughed at the oue.

    Monique just agreed with what was happening even though she had wanted to leave that ce. She is hurting every time she turns her gaze to Cain who is happily talking to Sophia and she is seeing the sweetness of the two, but she doesn¡¯t want to ruin their bonding moments.

    Later the bottle hit Cain. ¡°Finally, it¡¯s your turn now,¡± Dark said whileughing

    ¡°I¡¯ll be the one to ask babe,¡± Calli promised. ¡°Truth or dare?¡± she added

    ¡°Truth.¡±

    ¡°Ahm, do you love Monique?¡± she ask straightforward

    ¡°Not anymore,¡± he answered seriously and at the same time drank the beer in the ss he was holding

    Almost all of them were surprised by its unequivocal answer.

    For a few seconds everyone was silent as Thunder got the bottle. ¡°Oh spin it again.¡±

    When it spins, it hits Monique. They felt even more tense because of it. ¡°Truth or dare?¡± Cain asked

    ¡°T-truth,¡± Monique stammered.

    ¡°Why do you still choose to stay here, I mean why are you here and not leaving even though you know you did something wrong to us?¡±Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to escape the mistake I¡¯ve done, so I¡¯m here because I want to correct it and also for Jewel,¡± she replied

    ¡°Do you think you can fix it? You can¡¯t go back to the past because it happened, you can¡¯t go back to the years that they would have been together but because of you they got separated. You ruined their life and family. The best you can do is to stay away from them, from us, ¡°Cain insisted

    ¡°Cain enough!¡± Thunder¡¯s rebuke.

    ¡°What? I¡¯m just asking and she answered so I¡¯m just saying my opinion too, because even though I know you still don¡¯t forgive her. So why is she still here with us? She¡¯s not belong here. So I don¡¯t know why she¡¯s still able to get along with the people she hurt, is that really how good she is in acting? Even though she helped us find Storm it will not change that she betrayed us. ¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not pushing myself here Cain! I just don¡¯t want Jewel to get angry with me because she¡¯s the one who invited me here and I¡¯m not saying that they should thank me for helping them cause I decided on my own to help them without any return. I know I don¡¯t belong here and I have no ce here so you don¡¯t have to tell it to my face because I know you don¡¯t want me here. Don¡¯t worry this is thest! ¡± She said crying and then stood up and run back inside their suite.

    Jewel quickly stood up and followed Monique.

    ¡°That¡¯s below the belt bro, you shouldn¡¯t have told her that,¡± Dark said suddenly

    ¡°You hurt him too much Cain, you shouldn¡¯t embarrass her in front of so many people.¡± Calli replied.

    ¡°You¡¯re right, I¡¯m still angry with what he did to us, but I¡¯m controlling my emotions for my wife¡¯s sake and also because of her help our son is safe. It¡¯s not easy for us to forgive her for what she did to our family and I know you feel the same too, but Cain she was still your girlfriend but you chose to provoke her infront of us. ¡± Thunder said and stood up. ¡°Think carefully about your decisions in life,¡± he added and continued to follow her wife

    Dark immediately stood up and led Calli. ¡°We¡¯ll go inside first, it¡¯s too cold here and Calli needs to rest,¡± Dark stammered and they left as well.

    Cain was left with Sophia. ¡°W-what just happened? I thought Monique was just a friend of big sister Jewel but why did Thunder say that Monique is your girlfriend. Is it true?¡± Sophia asked confused

    Cain nodded. ¡°She is my girlfriend,¡± he admitted

    The girl¡¯s eyes almost widened. ¡°Are you serious? Then why did you do that? She is your girl but you humiliated her in front of us! What are you thinking Cain?¡± Sophia¡¯s said angrily

    ¡°My fault, okay? I let my emotions control me,¡± the young man admitted

    The girl immediately beat him. ¡°You¡¯re a jerk! You really can¡¯t control the shape of your tongue when you¡¯re angry.¡±

    ¡°Ouch! Stop it phy,¡± he stopped the girl¡¯s hand

    ¡°Group up, you idiot!¡±

    ¡°AmI¡± he said whileughing.

    ¡°You are still a jerk after all,¡± Sophia said

    ¡°Psh! If I know you are so in love with me back then,¡± the young man teased

    ¡°Hey! It¡¯s in the past now. Well, I am in a happy rtionship I have a boyfriend while you don¡¯t have a girlfriend,¡± the girl said joke

    They stayed there for about an hour, Sophia didn¡¯t even try to find out what problems were going on between the two.

    ¡°It¡¯s toote, I¡¯ll take you to your room,¡± Cain said

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sleepy too. Come on!¡±

    They immediately got up and left the ce, not far from Sophia¡¯s suite. They arrived in about five minutes.

    ¡°Thank you Cain,¡± Sophia said smiling

    ¡°No problem! Goodnight, I¡¯ll go ahead,¡± Cain replied before turning around and walking back to their suite.

 Chapter 52

    The girl Jewel quickly followed Monique as she left, she knew she was very hurt by the friend¡¯s words, she was a woman so she knew the feeling but she believed Cain still loved her.

    When she reached Monique¡¯s room she knocked quickly. ¡°Nique, I¡¯m going in,¡± she immediately opened the door and saw that the girl was covered with a nket but you could see that she was crying by the movement of her shoulders.

    She sat on the side of the bed. ¡°I won¡¯t ask you if you¡¯re okay because I know you¡¯re not, I also want to apologize because if I hadn¡¯t forced you toe with us Cain wouldn¡¯t have said such painful words towards you,¡± Jewel apologized.

    Monique sat down and faced Jewel. ¡°It¡¯s not your fault Jew, I also wanted toe, I don¡¯t want to refuse your kindness just because Cain and I aren¡¯t okay,¡± she smiled hard.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think about what Cain said, you know him when he¡¯s angry he doesn¡¯t care about the feelings of others.¡±

    ¡°I know, it¡¯s just I feel ashamed. It¡¯s okay with me if he thinks the way and what else he would want to say about me. I just don¡¯t expect him to humiliate me in front of you all. I know how much I¡¯m guilty of what I did to you and Thunder and I also know that Cain hates me for what I did and because he thought I just used him, ¡°she said as her tears began to flow again

    Jewel immediately grabbed her hand. ¡°It¡¯s all in the past now and I understand you, you love Daven that time. That¡¯s why I know you are hurting because he died and we thank you for the help you did to find our son. If it weren¡¯t for you we might not have seen Storm right away. I know that you and Cain can get through this too,¡± she said.

    She cried even harder. ¡°I don¡¯t think so, as far as I remember he said that he doesn¡¯t love me anymore. I can see in his eyes that he¡¯s not lying. It¡¯s hard to win a game if the person you¡¯re fighting for wants you to give up. I know what I did was wrong, but I didn¡¯t use him. I-I love C-cain so much but it hurts a lot thinking that he treats me like this that the person you love the most curses you. ¡±

    Jewel hugged her, she felt the pain with every word Monique uttered. She knows how painful it is to hear from the person you love that he doesn¡¯t love you anymore because she also experienced this with Thunder before.

    ¡°Hush now, don¡¯t think that way. Everything will be okay soon, Cain is just angry now. Take a break,¡± she said and stood up.

    ¡°Thank you Jew,¡± Monique replied.

    Jewel just nodded in response and walked out of the room. She even saw Dark and Calleigh. ¡°Where¡¯s Thunder?¡± She asked

    ¡°He¡¯s already in your room,¡± Dark replied.

    ¡°Eh Cain?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s still outside with Sophia.¡± Calleigh said

    ¡°All right.¡± Jewel said and went straight to their room.

    ¡°What took you so long?¡± Thunder asked her when she entered their room

    ¡°I talked to Monique,¡± she answer and looked in the mirror tob her hair

    Thunder stood up and hugged his wife. ¡°W-why?

    ¡°Nothing, I just wanna hug you. I miss you,¡± Thunder said softly

    ¡°We¡¯ve been together all day.¡± she said and turned to hug her husband

    She was about to speak when Thunder kissed her, she could taste the alcohol that her husband drank while kissing him.

    ¡°W-what are you doing?¡± she asked stunned

    But Thunder just doesn¡¯t seem to hear anything because he is still continuing to kiss her. The two of them kissed deeply and passionately until she no longer realized that they were already in bed, Thunder stopped what he was doing and looked at her. ¡°I miss you so much hon, I know our past hasn¡¯t been good and I will make it right this time. I love you so much Jewel and I want you now,¡± he said and kissed her again.

    Thunder moved quickly due to drunkenness, less than a few seconds after Jewel¡¯s clothes werepletely removed. ¡°Beautiful,¡± he said as his gaze hovered across his wife.

    Jewel suddenly felt embarrassed so she covered herself with a nket. ¡°Why?¡± He questioned

    ¡°It¡¯s embarrassing, if you look at there,¡± she said

    ¡°Nah ah! You¡¯re always beautiful in my eyes.¡±

    Then he kissed her again down her neck to her stomach. Later he stopped. ¡°W-what are you nning to do hon?¡± Jewel asked

    ¡°What? I wanna taste you,¡± he replied with a smile.

    Jewel moaned loudly when she felt his hot tongue on her womanhood. Later on she was distracted when Thunder inserted a finger into her hole , she didn¡¯t know where to shake her head because of the strange sensation that Thunder gave her, his finger continued to y her hole while the other hand was also busy caressing her breast.

    ¡°You¡¯re so tight hon,¡± Thunder eximed but he didn¡¯t even let her speak because after that he yed with her delicacy and quickly crushed her with a kiss.

    ¡°Tell me if it hurts so that I can stop,¡± His face is full of concern.

    ¡°J-just continue hon,¡± Jewel said

    Without any second thought Thunder entered his manhood into his wife¡¯s femininity.

    Jewel cried because of this, she felt as if something was torn inside her even though she knew that she was no longer a virgin because of what happened to them before, maybe she was just not used to it and her husband¡¯s manhood was too big.

    Thunder stopped for a moment because of this, he didn¡¯t want to see his wife got hurt. ¡°Should I stop now hon?¡±

    The girl shook her head. ¡°J-just go on hon,¡± She replied

    ¡°That pain will change into so much pleasureter, ¡± he said jokingly

    She nodded and when Thunder felt that his wife was okay then that¡¯s the time that he continued, at first he just trusted it slowly so that his wife could adjust. After a minute he trust deeper and faster. Jewel didn¡¯t know what she was going to do with the sheer relish of the sensation the man was causing to her.

    She almost lost her voice and only the grunts of the couple could be heard in the four corners of the room. Thunder even elerated his exit into his wife¡¯s femininity.

    ¡°Ow T-thunder. Ahhh. Ohhh, ¡®she eximed, Thunder¡¯s back almost bruised by his wife¡¯s actions.

    ¡°Fuck fuck .. Ugh. You¡¯re so tight baby,¡± Thunder stammered

    ¡°M-make it fast hon, Aahhh .. Shit. Harder please.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m cumming ¡­¡± Jewel said hoarselyContent is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Let¡¯se together hon, I love you,¡± Thunder whispered

    ¡°I love you too hon.¡±

    In just onest trust they reached the peak.

    Thunder was almost bathed in sweat as hey down beside his wife.

    ¡°It¡¯s good to be inside you, to feel your warm again,¡± the man suddenly said

    Jewel quickly hit him. ¡°Stop it.¡±

    ¡°Why? I¡¯m just telling the truth, why didn¡¯t I do this to you before. You¡¯re sexy somehow,¡± he said.

    ¡°You jerk! I¡¯ve been sexy for a long time. And how can you do it, you despise me, remember?¡± She said

    Thunder immediately hugged him tightly. ¡°You¡¯re really picky.¡±

    ¡°Psh!¡±

    ¡°Tired?¡± Thunder asked

    Her eyebrows rose. ¡°Why did you ask?¡±

    He smiled foolishly. ¡°I think I want another round. I¡¯d like to hear you scream in pleasure this whole night.¡±

    Jewel still couldn¡¯t answer when her husband immediately kissed her. Who is she to refuse the gorgeous man she is with now?

 Chapter 53

    It was noon when Jewel woke up, she saw her husband who was sitting on the chair beside their bed. She immediately got up.

    ¡°What time is it? Did you wake up early?¡± She asked

    ¡°It¡¯s lunch time, I didn¡¯t wake you earlier because you are sleeping like a child. Take a bath now so we can go down. They¡¯ve been waiting for us.¡±

    ¡°You didn¡¯t eat breakfast?¡± she asked again

    ¡°I went down earlier, Calli was looking for you. I said you are still asleep.¡±

    Jewel nodded and stood up to get ready. ¡°I¡¯ll take a quick shower hon.¡± She said

    ¡°Take your time hon, but make it fast please.¡±

    Jewel spent about 30 minutes before she finished fixing herself. When she came out of the bathroom she found her husband lying on the bed.

    She immediately approached him, ¡°Hon I¡¯m done,¡± she said

    The young man turned around and smiled at her. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± and he stood up

    When they arrived at the restaurant, they immediately saw the four busy talking except for Monique who was quiet.

    Thunder took her hand and at the same time they walked closer to them.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t eat breakfast withst earlier,¡± Calli said to her

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry about it I woke upte,¡± She repliedAll content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.

    ¡°Nah! You¡¯re asleep while Thunder has his breakfast with us.¡±

    Jewel suddenly felt ashamed of what Calli said so she bent down and clung tightly to her husband¡¯s arm, Thunder seemed to notice it so he imitated her while sitting.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be too inquisitive Calli, maybe Jewel is too tired so Thunder didn¡¯t wake her up,¡± Cain teased.

    They immediately ordered something to eat, they didn¡¯t wait for long because the food arrived immediately.

    As they were eating Thunder suddenly asked. ¡°Where is Phia? ¡°Have you been with herst night since what time Cain?¡±

    ¡°Yes I took her to her suite, I even met Dane. All I know is that they went home earlier than Phy called.¡±

    ¡°Wow! Sophia really updates you on everything she does, Hmmm! Interesting.¡± Dark yelled and Calli punched him.

    ¡°Since it¡¯s ourst day now, we should swim!¡± Calli happily said and they all agreed.

    ¡°I heard that there¡¯s a new bar here near the resort. Let¡¯s go there tonight?¡± Cain asked

    ¡°I¡¯m in,¡± Dark agreed and the rest of them nodded.

    After they ate they started swimming, the three guys drank some beer while the women were together in the pool except for Calli who was just sitting on the side and only her feet were dipping.

    ¡°What¡¯s your n, Cain?¡± Dark suddenly asked in the middle of their talk.

    ¡°What n are we talking about?¡± He asked

    ¡°Don¡¯t be stupid! You know what Dark is up to. It¡¯s about Monique,¡± Thunder said.

    ¡°What about her?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you have any ns to fix things with her? You know, you¡¯re being too harsh to her,¡± Dark said.

    ¡°What else needs to be fixed? The damage has been done.¡±

    ¡°Did you tell her that you are both over? Did you tell her about that?,¡± Thunder asked.

    ¡°Why is Monique the topic here? There¡¯s no need to talk about it with her.¡±

    The two looked at each other and just shrugged their shoulders. They knew Cain very much when he was angry. He was really angry and he really hated liars people especially if he was being true in the beginning.

    On the other hand, Jewel and Monique went up and asked Calli to sit on the side while drinking juice.

    ¡°Ahm, Monique, please don¡¯t get offended, but are you and Cain still together?¡± Calli asked

    Monique first put down the wine she was holding and then looked at the girl. ¡°To be honest, I also don¡¯t know if we are still in a rtionship. We haven¡¯t been able to talk again because he doesn¡¯t want to talk to me. I don¡¯t want to force him because he might get even angrier,¡± she replied sadly.

    Jewel caressed the girl¡¯s back. ¡°Everything will be alright. Cain is still angry, let him calm down first.¡±

    ¡°Mercyl is right, just understand him for now because what you did is still fresh to his mind. Knowing Cain, he doesn¡¯t want that kind of behavior so it¡¯s no wonder that he¡¯s angry with you, and when his angry he is so harsh in his words so bear with it ¡± Calli said

    Monique nodded and smiled. ¡°Is that so? I¡¯m just not used to him being like that because I haven¡¯t seen him get angry yet but now I know it already, but I also don¡¯t want to expect that we¡¯ll be okay or if he still loves me, you know it hurts when expectations be disappointment.¡± Monique said

    The twoughed because of what Monique said, in fact they were impressed by her courage because if another woman were to be treated like that by Cain, she would have left but Monique still endured the behavior that was shown to her by Cain and chose to stay with them.

    On the other hand a woman is irritated because of the picture she sees uploaded, she cannot ept that the people she hates are having fun while she is incarcerated.

    She thinks that it can¡¯t be like this, she has to find a way to escape in this ce, she can¡¯t be defeated.

    ¡®If you think I¡¯ll allow this, you¡¯re wrong. You can¡¯t be all happy while I¡¯m suffering,¡¯ she thought.

    Later, she hid her phone because a nurse came in, and a smile shed on her lips as she formed her n.

    ¡°Ms. Margaux, you need to take your medicine now,¡± a smiling nurse said.

    While she was busy arranging the medicine of the woman she did not notice that Margaux stood up, she quickly took a flower vase and hit the nurse on the head, she immediately lost consciousness.

    She pulled the nurse into the bathroom and then she changed their clothes. She immediately left the unconscious nurse inside as she hurried out of the room and walked away as if nothing had happened.

 Chapter 54

    The young woman Margaux quickly left the rehabilitation, thankfully and she put on the nurse dress so she didn¡¯t have a hard time getting out of the area.

    She did not go straight to their house because she knew her parents were still there so she chose to just check into a hotel.

    When she entered her hotel room a smile immediately shed on her lips, she thought she could go ahead with her n. She will never allow the person who has made her miserable to be happy.

    ¡°Just have fun now, because that¡¯s thest time you¡¯ll be together,¡± she said to herself.

    On the other hand, they are getting ready because they decided to have dinner at 6pm so that they can go to the newly opened bar right away. They want to make the most of theirst night here at the resort.

    Exactly 6pm they came out of their respective suites almost at the same time.

    ¡°It¡¯s a miracle and you¡¯re notte Jewel,¡± Calli teased

    Jewel scolded him which made himugh more. ¡°You are crazy! Now I¡¯m thinking to warn Dark if he is really sure about marrying you in the future,¡± she retorted with a frown.

    While they were teasing each other, Monique came out of her suite. ¡°Sorry guys, I took so long.¡±

    ¡°Why are you wearing that kind of dress? Are you nning to seduce boys there?¡± Cain suddenly said

    The four were quickly looking at their friend because of what the young man had said.

    ¡°B-why? There¡¯s nothing wrong with what I¡¯m wearing,¡± Monique replied with astonishment

    ¡°Whatever, let¡¯s go guys.¡± said Cain and walked ahead

    The four immediately looked at each other as if talking only through it.

    ¡°What¡¯s the problem with him?¡± Monique suddenly ejacted.

    ¡°Don¡¯t mind him, I think he just looks surprised at your beauty tonight that¡¯s why. I wamma annoyed him even more,¡± Jewel saidughing.

    They immediately walked over to Cain, whose face was still dark.

    When they got to the restaurant it was almost full which was just fine and they had already made a reservation so they didn¡¯t have a hard time. They ordered their food right away.

    ¡°What¡¯s with that face of your bro?¡± Dark suddenly asked while waiting for their order.

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°You were in a good mood when you went out in your suite. Why change my mood now?¡± Dark said whileughing he really wanted Cain to get pissed.

    ¡°I think Monique is very beautiful and sexy so that¡¯s why he is acting like a mad lion now,¡± Jewel whispered.

    Cain immediately frowned when he heard what Jewel said. ¡°What are you saying Jew? The true definition of beautiful and sexy is you! Simple woman.¡± he directly said it

    ¡°What was that for?¡± Thunder suddenly ejacted

    ¡°Calm down bro, don¡¯t be jealous. I just said Jewel is an example of true beauty,¡± he immediately defended.

    ¡°Just be honest Cain, you find Monique sexy and beautiful that¡¯s why you noticed her earlier,¡± Calli added.

    ¡°Don¡¯t assume unless it¡¯s not stated. I was just asking earlier why she¡¯s wearing it like that. I understand that we¡¯re going to the bar, what I mean is why does she need to be dressed like that? It will give us trouble.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean? I won¡¯t give you any trouble especially you,¡± Monique replied

    ¡°Yeah right,¡± Cain replied back

    Dark and Calli just sang because of the two. They do not understand why they do not want to talk in depth and get along because it is obvious that they still love each other.

    As long as their meal arrived, Cain¡¯s mood hadn¡¯t changed so they didn¡¯t just shut it down and just eat, almost an hour before they finished eating. They immediately paid for it and decided to go straight to the bar that was newly opened.

    When they arrive at the bar there are a lot of people there who probably also want to try it because it¡¯s just open. There are people who dance, there are those who are busy drinking and what not.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    Fortunately, there was still a vacancy so they still got a seat, so they immediately ordered some beer and juice for the three women. They spent time having fun not first thinking about the problems right now.

    They were in the middle of drinking when Monique stood up. ¡°Where are you going, Nique?¡± Jewel asked

    ¡°I¡¯m just going there Jew, I have a friend who¡¯s here also,¡± she replied and the girl nodded.

    They just continued to drink and talk about what happened in their lives, they also saw Monique talking to her alleged acquaintance.

    Later Dark suddenly turned to Cain. ¡°Bro looks like Monique and the man she¡¯s talking to are having fun ,¡± Hemented.

    ¡± What now? Let her do what she wants with her life.¡±

    ¡°Smells like someone is jealous,¡± Calliughed

    Cain didn¡¯t answer and just continued drinking but they noticed that he also looked at Monique¡¯s behavior.

    They didn¡¯t realize that it was already 12 o¡¯clock in the morning, Calli was lying on Dark¡¯s thigh. They would have to go back to their suite first earlier because Calli is not allowed to stay upte but the girl insisted that she will just take a nap here and continue their drinking.

    Monique also returned after an hour but left again , they just let her so that somehow she could enjoy it as well but it was obvious on the face of the young man Cain that he is not happy with it.

    Later Dark stood up. ¡°We will go ahead first guys, so that Calli can sleep well.¡± he said and carry his girlfriend who is already sleeping

    ¡°We¡¯lle with you too, because Jewel is already sleepy,¡± Thunder eximed

    ¡°Are you going home too Cain? Take Monique with you,¡± Jewel said

    Suddenly, the young man asked. ¡°She can go home alone.¡±

    ¡°All right, we¡¯ll go first bro,¡± Thunder said goodbye to Cain and the four of them left at the same time.

    The young man Cain just shook his head and continued drinking, the truth is that he really had no intention of looking for Monique in case Jewel would tickle him.

    He just continued to drink while looking around, his eyes had been looking for Monique but he couldn¡¯t see her. He recognized a bottle of wine before deciding to stand up and look for the girl. He circled all around but even its shadow he did not see.

    He got up and went around to look for the girl, if it wasn¡¯t for Jewel he wouldn¡¯t have wasted time to look for her and take her home. He thought of going out because the girl might be there.

    When he got out he looked around and he saw two people. Traces on her face the shock of realizing who the woman is with the man and what they are doing.

 Chapter 55

    Monique POV

    I¡¯m here outside in the bar with Zach, I met him back then at a fashion show and I was surprised to see him here because I knew he was in another country.

    While we were talking happily, I was surprised when he suddenly kissed me, I couldn¡¯t move immediately because I was probably drunk. I just let go of him when I noticed that there so I quickly pushed him away and I saw Cain looking at us.

    ¡°C-cain, that¡¯s not what you think, ¡®I stammered as I left Zach and walked over to him.

    ¡°Why exin yourself? You know I don¡¯t care,¡± he insisted

    ¡°C-cain,¡±

    ¡°Next time before you flirt don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re with other person or friends and learn to let them know that your going out with someone so you can¡¯t trouble them, if it wasn¡¯t for Jewel I wouldn¡¯t waste time looking for you where you¡¯re just flirting here, ¡°he promised directly

    Monique couldn¡¯t stop her tears from flowing because of what she heard from the young man,ter on she didn¡¯t notice Zach approaching her.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are you crying Monique? What did this guy do to you?¡± he asked while holding the girl¡¯s shoulder

    Monique quickly turned around. ¡°N-nothing, we¡¯re just talking.¡±

    But the young man did not seem to believe what she said and turned to Cain. ¡°What did you tell her? She won¡¯t cry like that if it was nothing,¡± Zack used

    ¡°You don¡¯t care what we talked about or maybe you want me to repeat what I said to that woman?¡± Cain answered

    ¡°She has a name! You should respect her.¡± Zach gritted his teeth.

    Monique intervened to prevent the two from fighting. ¡°Please stop it Cain, Zach. It¡¯s embarrassing to other people who is here,¡± She pleaded

    ¡°Tell your man, he shouldn¡¯t get involved in other people¡¯s conversations,¡± Cain insisted.

    ¡°You idiot! You have no right to insult Monique.¡±

    ¡°Who are you? Don¡¯t act like a hero cause you know nothing.¡± Cain said

    Monique screamed when Zack suddenly punched Cain.

    The girl quickly approached Cain because the edge of his lip was dulled by the blow given by the young man. Cain was about to retaliate but Monique approached him.

    ¡°Zack hey! Stop that.¡± she shouted at his friend.

    ¡°Cain, are you okay?¡± She turned to Cain.

    But the young man just withdrew his hand. ¡°I don¡¯t need your concern! Tell that man of yours to be too inquisitive,¡± Cain said angrily.

    ¡°I guess you are fine, you can go home alone,¡± he added and continued walking.

    ¡°Zack what are you doing, huh? Why did you punch him? You shouldn¡¯t do that!¡±

    ¡°And what am I going to do? Let him insult you? Wake up Monique! Don¡¯t be stupid,¡± Zack said.

    ¡°You don¡¯t understand, you don¡¯t know anything,¡± she said and turned her back on the young man

    She had to follow and talk to Cain because she knew the young man¡¯s anger against her had increased even more.

    She almost took a walk just to find where Cain was and he saw him walking near the seaside.

    ¡°Cainnnnnnn!¡± she shouted but the young man seemed to hear nothing and just continued walking.

    So what she did was run even though she was having a hard time because of the sand. And when she got close to him, she grabbed his arm. ¡°C-cain, I¡¯ve been calling you. Can¡¯t you hear me?¡±

    But the young man just looked at him and he was ready to walk again as she tightened her grip on it. The irritation was evident on Cain¡¯s face but she did not take it seriously.

    ¡°What do you need, huh?¡± He is now annoyed

    ¡°We need to talk, please Cain. Also about Zack¡±

    ¡°Are you that desperate that even if I don¡¯t want to talk to you you¡¯re still chasing me? We don¡¯t need to talk anymore, Monique. And one more thing, I don¡¯t care about your man,¡± He said in a serious tone.

    ¡°Cain, listen to me. I don¡¯t want us to like this forever. I love you so much even if you are always pushing me and it hurts but I can bear it.¡±

    The young manughed a little. ¡°Are you hurt? I don¡¯t think so? Damn it Monique! You made me believe and you lied to me. Do you think I am okay?¡± He shouted

    ¡°You don¡¯t know the feeling of losing trust in someone who I never once thought that they could do that to me. Of all the people Monique you are the reason why Thunder and Jewel got separated! You destroy the marriage like my friends! Do you know how painful what you did? The person I love ruined the rtionship of my friends, that the person I loved made me look like a fool. You don¡¯t know that because you¡¯re not in my ce! So if you are saying that you are hurting you deserve it! But me? You don¡¯t know how painful it is on my part because I love you Monique, but what did you do? You ruined everything we have. You used me in your stupid revenge! You betrayed me! ¡± He said angrily, then once wiped his face because of the tears that were flowing now.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    Monique¡¯s tears kept falling because of what the young man said. It was more painful for her to see that the man she loves is hurting and crying infront of her.

    She tried to touch him but just avoided. ¡°C-cain,¡± she called but the young man just shook his head and walked away.

    She chased it again and hugged it back. ¡°C-cain, please. I know I made a mistake, I know I hurt you too much but I hope you give me a chance.¡±

    ¡°Let me go Monique, let me go.¡±

    The girl just shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to, as long as we don¡¯t talk properly.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t test my patience, as long as I can hold back my anger let me go now.¡±

    But the girl was stubborn. ¡°Even if you pushed me away I won¡¯t leave, I won¡¯t let you go Cain even if you already give up, I still won¡¯t give up.¡±

    Cain violently removed Monique¡¯s hug from him and pushed her away to Monique¡¯s surprise. ¡°I told you not to overdo my patience. Don¡¯t you really have any dignity? After you flirt and kiss another man you will say to me you want us back? Are you really making fun of me? Bullshit! I¡¯m not a fool Monique! I hope after this vacation you¡¯ll stop chasing me and talking to me. ¡± Monique could see the burning anger in Cain¡¯s eyes as he said those things to her.

    Monique barely knew what to say and when Cain turned around and walked away she didn¡¯t chase him anymore, too much had happened to them that night and she didn¡¯t want anything worse.

    She immediately returned to the suite where they were and put away her belongings. She has already decided to go home first and not go with the five, she will just leave a note or send a message to Jewel so that she will not be looked at.

    It urred to her that too much had happened in the past few weeks so the problem only got worse especially between them, but that doesn¡¯t mean that she was giving up because she knew in herself that she had no intention of letting Cain go. She would let them both rest first because what had happened to them had not been easy.

    ¡®I hope the day wille that you will forgive me and you will open your heart for me again,¡¯ she whispered and continued to arrange her belongings.

 Chapter 56

    On the other side, the couple was lying in their bed, Jewel¡¯s head resting on Thunder¡¯s shoulder. A few hours ago when they came home from the bar with Dark, the girl really meant to tell Cain to wait for Monique and go home together so that the two could talk.

    ¡°I hope Cain is okay,¡± she suddenly promised

    ¡°If they love each other they will get along hon.¡±

    ¡°I hope so, I want Cain to be happy and to have someone who will love him and he will love. With all he has done for me, I hope he will be happy forever,¡± she said.

    ¡°You know Cain is really tough when you lie to him. He has trust issues so we can¡¯t me him either, but the day wille he will be okay. If Dark is a womanizer but Cain is a loyal one.¡±

    The girl immediately raised her head. ¡°If you are saying that Dark is a womanizer, you¡¯re one too.¡±

    The young man suddenlyughed. ¡°It was all in the past. Psh!¡±

    She quickly hit it. ¡°I¡¯m just saying you¡¯re going to sneeze right away.¡±

    ¡°You can tell because you think I¡¯m still doing it until now. Hahahahaha,¡± Thunder said and immediately caught the pillow thrown by his wife.

    Suddenly the two of them fell silent and went back to bed. Thunder hugged his wife tightly. ¡°Hephep,¡± Jewel pushed it softly.

    ¡°What now?¡±

    ¡°I know that you want something, we¡¯ve already done more rounds. I¡¯m tired so let¡¯s go to sleep,¡± sheughed.

    Thunder couldn¡¯t paint his face. ¡°But I want more,¡± he muttered

    ¡°Next time, okay?¡±

    Thunder did nothing and just slept with his wife.

    Jewel woke up at four in the morning, she peeked at her husband before getting up, she wanted to see Monique if she was home.

    She came out of their suite and saw Cain staggering. ¡®Just now did this mane home?¡¯ she thought

    Shw immediately approached him. ¡°Cain, did you juste home?¡± she asked

    The young man immediately looked at him while holding the door of the suite he was supposed to open. ¡°J-jewel,¡± she said hoarsely in his friend¡¯s name.

    ¡°W-what happened? Are you okay?¡± She supports it as soon as he can.

    ¡°I-it hurts,¡± it said

    ¡°W-wait, what happened?¡±

    Cain recounted everything that happened between him and Monique, Jewel barely knew what to say because of it. She couldn¡¯t quite imagine how much pain his friend was feeling right now. She couldn¡¯t do anything so she just hugged him tightly to let the young man know that she was just here, that he had a friend to lean on.

    Cain was just relieved to be hugged by someone to speak on their side. ¡°What time is it and you¡¯re still here in the corridor?¡±

    ¡°H-hon,¡± she calls

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry bro, I just had a drink and I just came home when I met Jewel who just came out of your suite. Jew I¡¯ll be going to my room now. Thank you again.¡±

    When Cain entered, Thunder also walked back to their room so his wife immediately followed him.

    ¡°Hon,¡± she called after entering but he didn¡¯t even look at her

    ¡°Thunder what¡¯s wrong?¡± She repeated but she still didn¡¯t get an answer from her husband.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you, it¡¯s so early in the morning.¡±

    He turned her. ¡°What¡¯s my problem? What do you think? It¡¯s already 4am in the morning but you are still outside and I see you hugging my friend. You know there are a lot of people who can see what you both are doing. Are you now ashamed of it? What will people think?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with what we are doing there, we¡¯re friends and Cain is your best friend so don¡¯t give it any meaning,¡± she defended.

    ¡°And what do you want me to think? That you went out this early for what, to meet my friend and hug like that?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what Cain said earlier? He was back in his suite when he saw mee out!¡± she shouted.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.

    ¡°So what is it that you met and just hugged? Is that what you want to tell me?¡±

    ¡°There is no point in this conversation, don¡¯t narrow your mind with it,¡± She said

    ¡°Am I the narrow -minded one here now? Which of us left the room and hugged another man? Am I?¡±

    ¡°He has a problem, he is my friend so I talked to him andforted him.¡±

    ¡°Talking? But it¡¯s not what I see. Don¡¯t make me a fool Jewel! You¡¯re not ashamed of other people who can see what you are doing at this moment, you are hugging another man and you¡¯re married!¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t want to listen to what I am saying, you conclude something else on your mind,¡± Jewel insisted.

    ¡°Fuck it! Don¡¯t you understand what I¡¯m saying, huh?¡±

    ¡°No! I don¡¯t understand why you¡¯re acting like that, there¡¯s no such thing as an issue but you¡¯re giving it a meaning. I am not like the other woman out there. I¡¯m not like you before,¡± the girl said.

    ¡°So until now you still have a problem with what I did in the past? Wow!¡± He remark in a sarcastic tone

    ¡°You see, your mind is different. It¡¯s better to just go to sleep again.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s what¡¯s hard about you. You tend to run away from everything, you can¡¯t get my point so I¡¯m narrow -minded here. Tell me now, do you and Cain have an affair behind my back, huh?¡±

    Jewel barely knew what to react because of what her own husband said. ¡°Do you understand what you¡¯re saying and asking Thunder? You¡¯re too malicious of your own friend! If you think we¡¯re in a rtionship you¡¯re mistaken, Cain is just my friend!¡± Jewel wants to cry because of what is happening now to them.

    ¡°Can you me me? Many years you two were together, you can¡¯t me me for thinking that way, to think of some possibilities. Now that we both know that I¡¯ve done a lot of wrong to you, I am thinking that you are getting your revenge on me because I¡¯ve hurt you. ¡±

    Jewel was almost fed up with what her husband was saying. ¡°Don¡¯t you trust me? What do you think of me, a woman who will have a rtionship with another man even if I know I¡¯m married?¡±

    He did not answer but walked out the door and mmed it shut. Jewel couldn¡¯t help but sigh because of what had happened. She could not understand why her husband acted like that.

 Chapter 57

    It¡¯s been two days since they got home from their vacation, but the misunderstanding between the two is still there. Jewel tries several times to talk to Thunder but he ignores her.

    He is oftente when hees home because of the amount of work he does in the office and when he¡¯s at home Jewel felt that she¡¯s like air to the young man, Jewel just thanked because Storm isn¡¯t here until now because their parents took him on vacation to have medication and forget what happened to him.

    Just like now the girl was just sitting, she didn¡¯t know what to do and how to talk to her husband because until now she still couldn¡¯t understand why he was like that to her.

    As she thought it suddenly urred to her what happened before they left the resort.

    shback ¡­..

    Jewel woke up with her husband not by her side, she didn¡¯t know if it came back when she came out or not because she fell asleep in tears. Her eyes caught their ready -made item, the young man slowly arranged it.

    She got up quickly and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed, it also took her about 30 minutes before she finally came out.

    When she came out she saw her husband sitting on the bed, she immediately approached him and was ready to talk when Thunder suddenly stood up. ¡°If you are done, let¡¯s go and they¡¯ve been waiting for us,¡± he said while carrying their belongings and went straight to the door without even waiting for her.

    Jewel just sighed and grabbed her small bag and immediately followed him.

    She just looked at the young man as he put their belongings in the car,ter she saw Dark, Calli and Cain approaching their ce but she frowned when she noticed that Monique was not there.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Monique?¡± She askedC¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    ¡°She went home first Jew she said that there was an emergency, I just don¡¯t know what time she left,¡± Calli replied.

    Jewel nodded even though in her mind she didn¡¯t believe that Monique had an emergency, she knew it was rted to whatever happened between her and Cainst night.

    ¡°Since it is still early, let¡¯s eat first,¡± Dark suggested and they all agreed.

    Together they looked for something to eat and when they found it they immediately ordered something to eat. Their order arrived quickly so they ate to leave afterwards.

    They were in the middle of eating when Calli suddenly spoke. ¡°Are you two okay?¡± She asked as she looked at the married couple.

    ¡°Y-yes, why?¡± Jewel answered because Thunder didn¡¯t seem to have a n in answering and continued to eat without even paying attention to Calli¡¯s question.

    Dark and Cain stopped eating and also looked at the two as if waiting for an answer.

    ¡°Earlier I noticed that you weren¡¯t talking nor being sweet to each other. Did something happen?¡± Calli asked again

    ¡°Just continue to eat there,¡± Jewel red at her and she immediately got what the girl meant.

    After they ate they immediately traveled home. They still have a lot to go through and from time to time they also stop to buy some food.

    She tries to talk to Thunder but it looks like he¡¯s really mad at her so she doesn¡¯t push anymore.

    Until they reached their house silence urred to them.

    End of shback ¡­.

    Later, she heard a horn signaling that the young man was already there. She did not hesitate to stand up because she knew that their maid was there to open the door for her husband.

    When Thunder entered, she stood up. ¡°Do you want to eat? I¡¯ll prepare your food.¡± She said

    ¡°No need, I¡¯m still full.¡± He answered in a cold tone and walked directly to their room

    The girl immediately followed him, when she entered their room Thunder was not here, she just heard the rush of water in their bathroom.

    She sat on the bed to wait for her husband to finish taking a bath. It didn¡¯t take long after a minute he came out with only a towel covering his body.

    He went straight to their closet and got dressed, then he sat down at his study table and opened hisptop.

    ¡°Thunder, can we talk?¡± She eximed but the young man was still seriously typing on hisptop

    Annoyed Jewel stood up, walked over to the young man and closed hisptop. ¡°How long will you not talk to me? It¡¯s not funny anymore.¡±

    ¡°Can¡¯t you see I¡¯m busy, I have a lotworks need to finish,¡± he said briefly

    ¡°Office work must be done in the office and not at home.¡±

    ¡°Nobody said it¡¯s forbidden to bring work home, don¡¯t you understand I have a lot to do for a few days I haven¡¯t been able to attend in the office,¡± he said annoyed.

    ¡°Don¡¯t use your work as an excuse, Thunder it¡¯s been two days since we got home but still I can¡¯t talk to you properly!¡±

    ¡°What kind of conversation do you need, huh? Aren¡¯t we done talkingst time?¡± he said

    ¡°You think that¡¯s a conversation? That¡¯s the problem with you because you¡¯re going through everyone¡¯s temper!¡±

    ¡°And I¡¯m wrong again, am I right?¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t say that! I just want to say that if you have a problem tell me,¡± Jewel insisted

    ¡°You want us to talk again and again? We talked alreadyst time at the resort right? Do you want to talk again?¡±

    ¡°Because you¡¯re exercising the narrowness in your brain Thunder! You are being unreasonable!¡± Jewel shouted

    ¡°Okay I am narrow -minded here. Is that what you want to hear right?¡±

    Jewel almost wanted to squat on the floor in extreme annoyance.

    ¡°You know if your behavior is still like this and when Stormes back from the vacation I think we need to go home first, in my parents house. ¡± Jewel said

    ¡°What? You want to let Storm know what is happening for us now? So that I¡¯m going to look bad here again? Wow Jewel just wow!¡±

    ¡°See? Can¡¯t you see how narrow your mind is? If you think I will brainwash our son you are mistaken. I am not and I will not do such a thing,¡± She eximed.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have such a habit but Storm knows what happened to us in the past? Who¡¯s the reason why my son hates me? Aren¡¯t you? So until now my own son still can¡¯t ept me!¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have any right to criticize me, because you don¡¯t know what I¡¯ve been through!¡± She said as tears falling from her eyes

    ¡°Yeah right! I don¡¯t know what you¡¯ve been through. Do you know what I went through also? I guess not right?.¡± Thunder¡¯s sarcasm ur again

    ¡°I know you¡¯re ming me for everything, why Storm is mad at you. But he¡¯s not the issue here Thunder!¡±

    ¡°Of course our son isn¡¯t the issue here, it¡¯s you who is flirting with my friend.¡± Thunder said in a serious tone

    Jewel¡¯s palm quicklynded on her husband¡¯s cheek because she was so angry at what she heard.

    ¡°How dare you! How many times have I told you not to give malice to what you saw, even if you ask Cain about the whole incident, but I know you will not do it knowing you? Thunder Alcantara the hard headed man. I¡¯m listening to you when you¡¯re angry but to me you are not giving me a chance to exin, you are not listening to what I am going to say. So just think about what you want to think! If you think I¡¯m going to beg you to make you believe me you¡¯re wrong. I¡¯m no longer the weak Jewel back then,¡± she said firmly and left the room.

    Thunder sighed, in fact he also couldn¡¯t understand himself why he reacted like that night he saw his wife and friend hugging. He felt intense jealousy for reasons he did not know.

    He just put away the papers on the study table because he also lost the appetite to work, he did not want to hurt his wife and he did not want to recount the past because he knew they were starting again as a family but he could not avoid because in he thought that Jewel would not get his point either.

    When he finished putting away his belongings he immediatelyy down on their bed, he knew his wife was in Storm¡¯s room.

 Chapter 58

    Thunder woke up early because he still had things to fix in the office, thepany was running smoothly so he made sure it wouldn¡¯t be a problem.

    Alcantara-Dawson has been merging for a long time since she and Jewel got married, so she doesn¡¯t want to tarnish the name of the two families.

    Before he finally left their house, he went through their son¡¯s room, he saw that his wife was still sound asleep, he sat on the side of the bed and carefully touched her face, he nned to talk to herter when he got home to get their problem fixed. He stayed for a few more minutes while just staring at the girl andter kissed her on the forehead and stood up to leave.

    A few minutester when Thunder left, Jewel also woke up, she looked around the room a few more times before she realized that she was in her son¡¯s room.

    She felt hungry so she got up to eat, she went downstairs with breakfast ready on the table. She had just started eating when she heard a voice suddenly disturbing their house.

    ¡°Hi Jew, Cain I have my breakfast here too?¡± he said and started to get a te and put the food in there.

    ¡°What are you doing here? It¡¯s still morning, don¡¯t you have work?¡±

    ¡°Aww, am I not allowed here? You are hurting my feelings. I cane into my office any time I want.¡±

    ¡°Even if you are the boss you are still need to go work on time,¡± She said

    ¡°Where is Thunder?¡±

    ¡°He left early,¡± the girl answered shortly and ate again

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you still okay?¡± Cain asked seriously.

    Jewel let out a deep sigh before shaking.

    The young manughed. ¡°What¡¯s funny?¡± She asked, annoyed.

    ¡°Both of you, your pride is too high Hahahaha! It¡¯s clear that Thunder got jealous with what he sawst time in the resort and then you¡¯re numb to notice it.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about,¡± She joked and the young man justughed.

    They talked a lot until they finished eating. Cain stayed for a few more hours past four in the afternoon when he said goodbye to leave, he said that he would go to Thunder¡¯s office to talk to him and he also didn¡¯t want the couple to fight for a long time just because of him.

    Cain went home first because his father needed to give him something but he did not stay long there and left as well. There was no traffic so he quickly got to his friend¡¯s office, he didn¡¯t hesitate to knock and just went straight inside.

    He caught his friend staring at hisptop without even paying attention to his arrival.

    Later he sneezed so it caught his friend¡¯s attention.

    He frowned at him. ¡°What are you doing here? It¡¯s work time now, why are you here?¡± Thunder asked and continued what he was doing.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    Cain sat down before answering. ¡°I¡¯m toozy to go to the office, that¡¯s why I¡¯m here, I don¡¯t have anything to do there and I also don¡¯t have a meeting. Let¡¯s go to the bar.¡±

    ¡°Because I¡¯m notzy like you.¡±

    ¡°Hey you¡¯re a bad Thunder, what do you think of me as azy boss?¡±

    He looked at him. ¡°Is that a question? Do you want me to answer that?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not okay as long as I make money and my business is still in the top. That is okay. Let¡¯s go,¡± He insisted.

    Thunder couldn¡¯t do anything if he didn¡¯t agree, he knew it wouldn¡¯t stop him until he said yes.

    He closed hisptop and arranged the papers on the table. And when he had done he adjusted the coat he was wearing and at the same time they left the office. They can¡¯t take Dark with them now because he¡¯s in another country with Calleigh because their parents want his girlfriend to give birth there.

    It was past six in the evening when they arrived at the bar, they immediately looked for a seat because they were one of the VIPs here so there were chairs and a table reserved for them.

    As the two of them drank, Cain remembered that he was going to talk to his friend about his wife.

    ¡°What are your n?¡± he asked

    ¡°n for what?¡± Thunder asked back and then drank the beer.

    ¡°You and your wife, I know what happened. I went to your house earlier and Jewel and I were able to talk. Bro, it¡¯s been how many days since we got home from Batangas and you still haven¡¯t fixed your misunderstanding.¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re trying to talk but we¡¯re just getting into a fight,¡± he said briefly

    ¡°Bro, since we are kids, you Dark and I are already together and you shouldn¡¯t give malice to what you saw, you know that I treat your wife like a sister and I don¡¯t like her. And one more thing I still haven¡¯t hit my best friend¡¯s wife, ¡°he said with augh.

    ¡°Stupid! And you have a n to really hit the other married woman? I know I¡¯m wrong too. I just get eaten by my jealousy. You know that Jewel and I aren¡¯t very okay yet and especially Storm who is still mad at me. You can¡¯t me me thinking that way, I need to gain my wife and son trust again, Jewel and I are together and talking but I know she hasn¡¯t forgiven me yet quite, ¡°he said

    ¡°Come on trust yourself and you¡¯ll have aplete family. Just perseverance and effort, you can also get them, Storm is a good child. It¡¯s also obvious that there is a hereditary case, not from the mother who inherited the habit but from the father.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean, huh? That my son will inherit my stubbornness.¡± He said

    ¡°Hey, you¡¯re too serious, if it¡¯s just about inheriting a habit, it would be better if that child inherited it from me.¡±

    Thunder was just shaken because of the friend. ¡°How about you? Don¡¯t you have any ns to fix yours and Monique?¡±

    Cain was silent for a moment because Thunder mentioned the girl¡¯s name.

    ¡°I know how you feel Cain because I¡¯m still angry at Monique too but even so I still get along with her well because of my wife. But obviously you still love her as much as she loves you.¡± He added.

    ¡°It¡¯s not that easy bro, you know that too. I don¡¯t know how I¡¯m going to deal with her because she lied to me, it¡¯s hard to restore the broken trust. You know it¡¯s hard for me because I have trust issues. Yes, I do love her, I really do. I just want more time first because as long as I¡¯m not okay, I¡¯ll just hurt her and that¡¯s what I don¡¯t want to happen,¡± he admitted.

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing different bro because you¡¯re already hurting her, the way you treat her, the way you take her for granted.¡±

    ¡°Time wille too bro, I just don¡¯t want to hurry,¡± he said

    Thunder just let whatever the friend¡¯s decision was, he was still able to support it. He had confidence in it and he knew it knew what he was doing. They just kept drinking for two.

 Chapter 59

    It¡¯s ten o¡¯clock in the evening and Thunder and Cain are still here at the bar, they just talk about what happened in their lives. Later Cain stood up. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going home? I still have a meeting tomorrow so I¡¯ll be ahead of you,¡± Cain said

    ¡°You go first, I¡¯ll be hometer.¡±

    ¡°Are you sure? Can you go home alone? You¡¯re drunk,¡± Cain asked worriedly.

    ¡°Yeah, I can manage.¡±

    Cain did nothing because he knew that even if he persisted Thunder is Thunder. So he left because even if he wanted to stay, he couldn¡¯t because he had a meeting in the morning.

    When he got in his car, he thought of calling Jewel, and she answered a few rings.

    ¡°Why were you called Cain?¡± voice on the other line

    ¡°Because your husband and I are in the bar. I went home first. Just get him here because he¡¯s drunk.¡±

    They only talked for a while because Jewel was going to the bar now, so he started his engine and drove home.

    Jewel, on the other hand, had just finished taking a bath, as she wasbing her hair when suddenly her phone rang and she saw Cain calling. She answered it immediately and found out that he and her husband were together.

    And just as the young man said Jewel only wore a jacket because it was cold outside, she quickly took her car key and quickly drove to the bar.

    As soon as she arrived at the ce, she could hear the noiseing from inside. She parked her car properly first, she knew her husband didn¡¯t have a car because Cain said Thunder left it in thepany.

    ¡®What if Cain didn¡¯t call me, how could he go home.- She thought

    The woman immediately entered the bar and her eyes searched for her husband.

    She just kept walking until she saw her husband at a table, she would have approached him but she stopped walking because she saw him kissing someone else.

    Thunder POV

    When Cain left, I ordered more beer, but I will go hometer. I remembered that I hadn¡¯t brought my car so I had no choice but tomute, while I was drinking thest beer I ordered when suddenly someone approached me.

    ¡°Hi handsome, are you alone?¡± The woman asked

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious that I¡¯m alone?¡±

    The womanughed. ¡°This is what I want in a man, a naughty one. You know I¡¯m alone too, maybe you want me to apany you. I¡¯m free tonight.¡± She seductively

    I just didn¡¯t pay attention to her because I had no intention of talking to her but she is too noisy and bbering on even though I didn¡¯t answer her. I just kept drinking.

    Later, I was surprised when she suddenly sat on myp. ¡°What are you doing? Get off me!¡± I insisted and pushed her.

    But I was surprised when she suddenly crushed me with a kiss, I quickly pushed her violently. Suddenly I noticed that someone seemed to be looking at us and when I looked at it I saw my wife staring at us.

    Later on I saw her walking away so I immediately stood up to follow her. I even heard the woman calling me but I didn¡¯t care anymore. The most important thing for me now is to chase my wife.

    I walked even faster to catch up with Jewel and when I came out of the bar I saw her walking fast towards the car, so I ran to catch up to her.

    ¡°Hon,¡± I called to hee but it seemed she was not nning to stop walking.

    When I reached her I grabbed her arm, I saw the tears in her beautiful eyes. ¡°Hon, let me exin. It¡¯s not what you think,¡± I said and hugged her tightly.

    ¡°Y-you don¡¯t need to exin. I have seen enough.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go home and talk please,¡± Thunder pleaded

    But his wife just shook her head so he had no choice but to lift her into the car.

    ¡°Let me go, Thunder!¡± She shouted

    ¡°Don¡¯t move or you¡¯ll fall.¡±

    ¡°Put me down! Damn you!¡± She is still hitting him.

    Thunder put her in the car and locked it before turning around. Fortunately, he was able to snatch the key from her.

    While he was driving it was quiet but he could still hear her sobbing. Thunder tried to talk to her for how many times but his wife didn¡¯t answer him.

    ¡°Stop this car Thunder, I don¡¯t want to go home with you.¡± Her sudden ejaction in the middle street.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    ¡°No I won¡¯t! Let¡¯s go home Jewel and talk,¡± I said

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you! I want to go home to my parents¡¯ house.¡±

    ¡°In our house Jewel not in other¡¯s house!¡±

    ¡°I told you to stop the car!¡± She cried

    ¡°No matter how hard you try, I won¡¯t stop it. Let¡¯s talk,¡± I said seriously and emphatically.

    Knowing how stubborn my wife is and most of all I knew what was running through her mind, so I wanted to talk to her to be clear on what she saw a while ago. I don¡¯t want her to think that I am still flirting with another woman while I was working on a way to regain their trust with my son.

    Fortunately, she didn¡¯t insist anymore and just kept quiet but she was still crying. I don¡¯t want us to be like this, I don¡¯t want to see my wife crying and hurting because of me.

    When we got home she came out immediately and mmed the car door shut. I just sighed and arranged the car in our garage before following her inside.

 Chapter 60

    Jewel quickly got out of the car and went straight up to their room. When she entered, she quickly took her suitcase followed by her clothes.

    Later she heard the door open and she knew who it was.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Thunder asked

    ¡°You see what I¡¯m doing, don¡¯t you? I¡¯m taking my things.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not leaving Jewel!¡± he took it seriously and threw the suitcase.

    ¡°Do you think from what I¡¯ve seen I¡¯ll still be willing to stay here?¡±

    Thunder quickly grabbed his wife¡¯s two shoulders. ¡°Let me exin. Don¡¯t conclude right away.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve seen enough! I don¡¯t need your exnation anymore. I thought you¡¯ve already changed but it still hasn¡¯t. I thought you really wanted to fix everything, but I just thought only. I believe again in your sweet words.¡±

    ¡°Listen to me! Why don¡¯t you just listen to what I have to say, not all the things you are seeing are true!¡±

    ¡°I already see it with my two eyes but you are still going to lie, aren¡¯t you? I¡¯m not stupid Thunder!¡± She said as tears began to stream down her eyes

    ¡°H-hon,¡± I said calmly

    But it just shook and walked over to the edge of the bed. ¡°I thought all you are showing and doing are true, I thought we are now okay but I have mistaken it,¡± She suddenly andughed.

    ¡°Why did I hope? Why did I believe you? I forgot that you are Thunder Alcantara. And I¡¯m like an idiot to believe it! Why are you so good at hurting me? And so stupid because I gave myself immediately to you, ¡°She added

    I approached her immediately to hug her but she just avoided me. ¡°Stop it now Thunder, the pain is already painful. Don¡¯t make me fool me again like you did before. I¡¯m begging you,¡± She said and just sat on the floor crying.

    Thunder hugged her quickly, at first she was still struggling but he didn¡¯t let her get away. He beat him for how many times but he bears it because she knows that her wife is hurting now. As time went on,Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°P-please h-let me go, j-just let my son and me. I won¡¯t take away your right as his father, b-but let me go. I¡¯m begging you T-thunder, I don¡¯t want to see myself like before. ¡± She is pleading

    Thunder hugged her for a few more minutes until she felt that her wife had calmed down but was still crying. He loosened his grip on her and made her sit on their bed. He touched the girl¡¯s face which was almost wet with her tears.

    ¡°H-hon please listen to me, please. I have no ns for hurting you again. Didn¡¯t I tell you that I will do everything to get you and my son back? I will do everything so that you can forgive me and we be aplete family. The one you saw earlier isn¡¯t true, I¡¯m not betraying you. Did you see that I pushed her right? Because even I was surprised when she kissed me. ¡±

    She just looked at me but didn¡¯t speak. So I went on with what I was saying. ¡°Believe me you¡¯re the only one I love, you and Storm are enough for me. Cain and I were together a while ago. He just came home, I just stayed there but I was on my way home when that woman suddenly approached me, I didn¡¯t pay attention to her and then she just suddenly kissed me so I was also surprised and pushed her. Please hon, believe me I didn¡¯t like what happened. ¡±

    But he got no answer from his wife, she was still crying. He embraced it again full of love, he didn¡¯t want to ruin the family he was reiming and building up just because of a misunderstanding.

    Later he felt that the girl was just sobbing and looked at him. He could see the sadness and pain in her eyes so he was also hurt because he knew in himself that even if he didn¡¯t mean it, still he would make her cry.

    ¡°Hon, talk to me please. I know that we had a misunderstanding when we were at the resort but I will never find someone else, I¡¯m content with what I have now. I know I was the one who would be med for what had happened in the resort. I exercised my emotions more and I was led by jealousy. I¡¯m afraid I might lose you and my son forever and that¡¯s what I can¡¯t ept. I know Cain doesn¡¯t have any feelings for you, I know Cain since we were kids I¡¯m just jealous of what I saw. I¡¯m thinking about what if one day you¡¯ll realize that I¡¯m no longer the man you love, that you like someone else. ¡± He said honestly

    ¡°Y-you know we have a child already, even though I told you before that I haven¡¯t forgiven you yet but you know in yourself I¡¯m giving you a chance and opportunity to correct the mistakes you¡¯ve made. I already know if it happened to someone else they will say that I am a fool because I did not torture you and I epted you again even though you did that terrible things to me, maybe I am a fool but Storm is the one I¡¯m thinking the most. I don¡¯t think of myself more, I just think of Storm. I always want him to have aplete family, ¡°she said weakly.

    They talked a lot until they were well, as he spoke he noticed that his shoulder seemed to be heavy and when he looked at it he saw that his wife was asleep. He looked at the clock and in the morning, he remembered that tomorrow their son would being from vacation. She prayed that it would be okay and not be too traumatized by what happened.

    He carefullyid Jewel on their bed and hugged her, then he turned on their aircon and went to bed as well.

    As hey down he leaned over to look at his wife who was fast asleep, he couldn¡¯t help but smile as he stared at her. He couldn¡¯t understand why he hadn¡¯t seen the value of the wife then, if only he had given it a chance they wouldn¡¯t have gotten to the point where he hurt it and left it in his powder to get away.

    ¡®I¡¯m still lucky that my wife is kind because even though I¡¯m so stupid she still gave me a chance for our son,¡¯ he whispered to himself before hugging his wife tightly and closing his eyes as well.

 Chapter 61

    Monique POV

    I¡¯m in a hurry driving to Jewel¡¯s house now because my guess is different now because I found out that Marga escaped from rehab so I know that Jewel is the first one she will go to. I also called her parents to let them know what happened.

    I¡¯m still wondering where Cain is because I passed by his office earlier but he¡¯s not there yet so I¡¯m even more nervous.

    shback ¡­

    When I got to Cain¡¯s office I went straight to his secretary, because I wanted to talk to him and let him know that Marga had escaped, because he wasn¡¯t answering my calls.

    ¡°Excuse me, is Cain there?¡± I asked

    ¡°Oh, ma¡¯am Monique, you¡¯re here, Sir isn¡¯t here. He hasn¡¯te yet but he called earlier and said he might bete cause he¡¯ll just pass to Sir Thunder¡¯s house.¡±

    ¡°Ah that¡¯s all right thank you,¡± I said and quickly left

    I quickly left Cain¡¯s office. I also tried several times to call Thunder and Jewel but even one of them didn¡¯t answer.

    Margaux POV

    Now is the day of my revenge and will make sure it will end all here, I will not allow you to be happy for as long as I live. I needed to do this before my parents knew I had run away. I love them both but I won¡¯t stop until I get justice for Daven.

    I¡¯m here in front of Jewel¡¯s house and waiting for Thunder to leave because I know he wille into the office now and I can do the thing I¡¯ve been hoping for a long time is that Jewel will die and I will kill Monique also. These worthless creatures need to die.

    Later a smile stered on my lips when I saw Thunder¡¯s care out and it looked like he was going to work now.

    I got out of my car when suddenly someone came and I recognized that it was Cain, I was lucky and destiny was on my side, two of my purposes are here now.

    I waited until they had talked and after a minute I saw Cain turn around and walk back in his car, that¡¯s when I approached Jewel and pointed a gun at her head.

    Jewel POV

    When Thunder left, I immediately turned around to enter the house because I wanted to cook for my son because he wasing homete from vacation with his grandparents. Suddenly someone blew a horn outside and when I looked at it I knew who it was and I recognized him immediately.

    I walked out the gate again and met Cain.

    ¡°Why did you pass by?¡± I asked

    ¡°Hi Jew, is Thunder there? I need something from him,¡± he shook his head.

    ¡°Oh he just left, didn¡¯t you meet him?¡±

    ¡°No, I turned around.¡±

    ¡°Just call him or just go to his office.¡±

    Cain immediately said goodbye and got into his car, Jewel was about to turn around when suddenly someone pulled her and when she saw who it was she got nervous.

    ¡°M-marga, how ¡­,¡±

    ¡°Surprised bitch? I told you that it won¡¯t all endst time.¡± she shouted as she pointed the gun she was holding at Jewel.

    Cain saw what had happened so he quickly got out of his car.

    ¡°What is this Margaux? Let her go!¡± He said

    ¡°Don¡¯t make a move toe over here if you don¡¯t want me to shoot your friend here!¡± Marga shouted to him.

    Jewel started to cry because of the tightness of Marga¡¯s grip on her neck.

    Cain was about to speak again when suddenly another car came and spat on Monique who hurriedly got out of the car.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.

    ¡°Marga! What are you doing? Are you crazy? Did you know that the employees in the rehab are looking for you because you ran away .¡± Monique said

    ¡°I don¡¯t care what you will say, you¡¯re a traitor! After all the things I have done you¡¯ll just leave me hanging and alone, you bitch!¡± Marga shouted

    ¡°Stop this Marg, there¡¯s still time for you to change. I haven¡¯t left you since then, you know that but you¡¯re not doing it right anymore. You are so blinded by your anger.¡± Monique said

    ¡°You are saying that because you¡¯re happy, you¡¯ve forgotten what happened to my brother! While I¡¯m still suffering from losing him, you two are the reason why Daven disappeared from my life, why he died! Ever since you came into her life Monique I¡¯ve been thrown out and added to this woman. ¡°She insisted and brought the gun even closer to Jewel¡¯s head

    They feel so nervous now because of the situation, Cain secretly calls Thunder but he doesn¡¯t answer. Maybe he¡¯s still driving.

    Monique slowly walked closer to her friend. ¡°Don¡¯te any closer!¡± Margaux shouted

    ¡°M-marga, please this is not right. There are people who love you, they¡¯re still there, aunt and uncle, don¡¯t waste your life just for revenge. Think of Daven, your brother loves you so much and he will not be happy seeing you like this.¡± Monique pleaded

    ¡°Noooooo! If he loved me he wouldn¡¯t leave me, but he¡¯s gone!¡± Marga said stiffly

    ¡°There¡¯s a lot you can do Marg, you can live happily with your parents. You¡¯re the only one who has left them. Stop this thing, let go of Jewel.¡± Monique said and came even closer to Marga

    But she was stopped in her tracks when she noticed that Margaux pointed the gun at Cain and just as she pulled it, she quickly ran to the young man and hugged him at the same time as the gun fired.

    Jewel screamed at what she witnessed and Cain was very shocked as he hugged Monique who was hit.

    Cain could hardly believe that Monique still chose to save him.

    ¡°What a great drama indeed! You worked too hard to save the man who is pushing you away and hurting you many times. Pathetic woman indeed.¡± Marga said

    ¡°Stop this Marga! Let go of me!¡± Jewel¡¯s shouted

    ¡°Shut up if you don¡¯t want to die early you bitch!¡± And then she pulled Jewel into the car.

    While Cain was holding Monique.

    ¡°W-why did you do that?¡± He asked

    ¡°Because I love you and I will always choose to save you,¡± she said with a smile, she noticed the car crashing so she forced herself to get up from the young man¡¯s grip.

    ¡°What are you doing? I¡¯ll take you to the hospital!¡±

    Monique shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m okay, I can still endure the pain on my shoulders. I need to follow Marga and you need to call Thunder. I am gonna call. I know where she will take Jewel.¡±

    ¡°B-but ¡­,¡±

    ¡°Please Cain, just follow what I¡¯m telling you. At least here I can save Jewel.¡±

    Cain could do anything but to follow what the woman said and quickly called Thunder, while Monique got in her car and followed where Margaux was going.

 Chapter 62

    Cain was almost worried because he called his friend many times but he still didn¡¯t answer and other things she was nervous about so he chose to just follow where Monique went. When he got in his car his phone rang just in time and he saw that Thunder was calling.

    He answered it quickly. ¡°Why? I¡¯m driving.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve been calling you many times! Your wife¡¯s life is in danger!¡± He said

    ¡°W-what? What happened? Where are you? Where is my wife?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m still here at your house. Come home here right now!¡± He nervously said

    ¡°I¡¯ming back, wait for me there and call Kevin too.¡±

    Thunder POV

    The young man hardly cared what he was going through. The important thing now for him was toe to their house to find out what had happened, nervousness enveloped his whole system when Cain said that his wife was in danger. He was only about an hour ago when he left their house and then he would hear about it, if he only knew it would happen he would not have his wife.

    He hurried back to their house, he had just gotten out of the car and he saw Cain with Kevin and the cops. He immediately approached them.

    ¡°What happened? Where is my wife?¡±

    ¡°When you left earlier I¡¯m on my way here cause I have something important to discuss with you. Jewel said you left so I said I¡¯ll just go to your office, I got in the car and she turned around to go inside, then I was surprised when she suddenly scream and I saw Margaux is pulling her and pointed a gun in her head, I couldn¡¯t move because she warned me that she would shoot Jewel. Monique also came and tried to talk to Marga but she didn¡¯t want to listen. That woman almost shot me but Monique saved me.¡± Cain exined

    ¡°Where¡¯s Monique?¡± Kevin asked

    ¡°She followed Margaux at first and didn¡¯t want to agree because she had a wound to her arm but she said I¡¯ll just call Thunder and she¡¯ll follow the two.¡± Cain replied

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Thunder shouted

    ¡°Just calm down bro, we will find and save my cousin.¡± Kevin¡¯s calming down voice

    ¡°If something bad happens to my wife I¡¯m gonna kill that woman!¡± Thunder said angrily

    Later, Cain¡¯s phone rang and he answered it quickly when he saw Monique calling.

    ¡°Hello, where are you? I¡¯m with Thunder and Kevin now.¡± Cain immediately asked

    ¡°We¡¯re on the **** highway and I don¡¯t know what Marga is nning to do but I¡¯m still following her until now, my gps is turned on look at the location just track us and follow where we are,¡± Monique said and quickly hung up the call. .

    When Cain dropped the call, Thunder approached him immediately. ¡°Is that Monique? What did she say? Where are they?¡±

    ¡°They said they were on the **** highway and she didn¡¯t know where Marga was going but she was still following her and she turned on her GPS so we could track where they were.¡±

    ¡°What are we waiting for? Let¡¯s go!¡± Thunder said

    They immediately got into their respective cars except for Thunder who preferred to ride in Cain¡¯s car.

    While Monique is in her car, she doesn¡¯t think that the woman that she treated like a sister and friend will end up like this. She is praying that nothing bad would happen to the two. And even though her shoulder hurts and bleeding she doesn¡¯t care anymore what is more important to her right now is to save the two.

    On the other hand, the two women continued to quarrel, ¡°Marga, I feel sorry for what happened please stop this, nothing will make your revenge good. Your older brother will not be happy because of what you are doing.¡± Jewel pleaded

    ¡°Stop it! Don¡¯t involve my brother in this because you have no right to preach to me such words as ¡°if you¡¯re an angel cause you are not, you killed my brother!¡±

    ¡°Please Marg, they¡¯re still many people who love and value you, especially auntie and uncle. They love you so much. I almost consider you a sister, I know you were hurt by the loss of Daven and I know until now I¡¯m still the one you me because even I am also ming myself because if it hadn¡¯t happened to me she would still be alive, but Marge I didn¡¯t want that to happen it was all ident. ¡°she cried.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    ¡°You have to pay for the loss of Daven! Either way and I will charge you, I can¡¯t allow you to live happily while I lost the love I love!¡± she spoke sharply

    Jewel is almost hopeless because it seems that the person she is talking to is really determined. And since she had no other way to think of it, she snatched the steering wheel from Marga, the two of them quarreled without realizing that there was a truck that they could meet and because of Marga¡¯s suddenness, she quickly turned the steering wheel causing them to end up in the ravine. Almost half of the car was already in the ravine and with just a little movement they were about to fall, they also heard another loud impulse of the car on their side.

    They didn¡¯t know that Monique was the girl because her car was just behind them and she didn¡¯t expect what would happen so she couldn¡¯t brake. The girl¡¯s car crashed so fast that she suddenly lost consciousness.

    While the two young women can feel the weakness and pain of their bodies, what they are more afraid of now is their position that could be the cause of their death.

    ¡°M-marga, are you okay?¡± She asked anxiously, but she got no answer because the woman just remained bent over.

    ¡°Can you get out? We¡¯ll get out slowly so the car doesn¡¯t move, we need to get out of here before it falls.¡± she added but Marga still didn¡¯t raise her head.

    Jewel tries to reach the girl¡¯s hand, even though the woman has done her harm she understands where the girl¡¯s anger ising from and she doesn¡¯t want anything bad to happen to her. She had to save it as best she could even though she didn¡¯t know if they would be able toe out alive today.

    Jewel thinks that she can¡¯t just die, she still wants to be with her husband and son. She wants to give her son a happy andplete family so she has to fight to survive.

    ¡°You can go now, leave me here,¡± Marga said suddenly

    ¡°I-I can¡¯t leave you here Marg. We¡¯ll both get out of this car.¡±

    The girl looked at her. ¡°How could you think that way? You know you couldn¡¯t be here in this situation if it¡¯s not because of me.¡±

    ¡°B-because you are important to me! Because you are Daven¡¯s sister! I won¡¯t let you get hurt.¡±

    Suddenly the shots dripped from Margaux¡¯s eyes, she couldn¡¯t quite imagine that the girl was so kind that even in this situation she didn¡¯t want to leave her even though she didn¡¯t do well for her family.

    Now she understands why her brother was able to sacrifice his life just to save this woman, Jewel is the person who will want to be everyone¡¯s friend so she now knows why this girl bes her brother¡¯s best friend.

    Too bad and now she just realized all that when they were in danger and even Monique that she hadn¡¯t been able to leave since Daven died she was able to hurt. She knew that she might not be able to survive today.

 Chapter 63

    Many minutes had passed but until now the two women are still inside the car and they don¡¯t know what happened to Monique.

    ¡°Marga, we need to get out of here before the car finally falls into the ravine.¡± Jewel said

    The girl just shook her head. ¡°I can¡¯t be a big sister,¡± Marga answered.

    ¡°W-what do you mean? We need to get out of here.¡± She insistence

    ¡°Go out first, I¡¯ll follow.¡±

    ¡°No, I won¡¯t leave you here, we both need to get out of the car.¡± Jewel¡¯s insistence

    ¡°It¡¯s just a waste of time when you force me to go out. Your family needs you especially Thunder and Storm.¡±

    Jewel looked at the girl¡¯s condition and she was almost depressed at what she saw, she noticed earlier that Marga was not moving much because her leg was stuck.

    ¡°Marg,¡± she called to the girl

    ¡°I¡¯m so-sorry sister for what I have done to you and for ruining your family, I know that if my older brother is still alive he will be ashamed of what I did to you. Tell my parents that I love them so much and I am sorry for what I did. Please big sister do me a favor, get out of the car before we will both die. I can sacrifice my life to save you just like what my brother did. ¡± Marga said crying

    Jewel shook her head several times as her tears flowed. ¡°I¡¯ve forgiven you for a long time, I know your anger just ate you up. We can do this Marg, we can both leave and survive.¡± She said positively

    Suddenly, the car moved slowly as if it was about to fallpletely.

    ¡°Go sis, go out now!¡± Marga shouted as she pushed Jewel away

    ¡°Wait for me, don¡¯t move too much. I¡¯ll ask for help so you can get out. Remember I forgive and love you.¡± Jewel saidst and slowly crawled out so the car wouldn¡¯t move too much.

    When Jewel thought she waspletely out, she suddenly broke so she fell and clung to a tree, but she knew that if shested longer, she would not be able to cling because it would break and fall.

    She was almost tired because she didn¡¯t know what to do, she had to ask for help and get Margaux out of the car but how could she do that if she was also in danger.

    ¡®Thunder, where are you?¡¯ she said softly

    She also almost lost her strength because of clinging to the branch. Soon after, she heard a noiseing from the car from which she came out, she almost screamed because she could see with her two eyes that it was gradually falling into the ravine.

    ¡°Margaaaaaaaaaa!¡± she shouted as she cried

    Later on she heard as if there were carsing so even though it was so hard she was still able to shout.

    Cain POV

    As I was driving to find where they were Jewel I noticed something that looked like something had collided, so I drove even faster.

    We got near a ravine where a car had collided with arge tree. I was even more nervous when I recognized that car.

    ¡°Monique,¡± I whispered softly

    I quickly got out of the car and approached Monique¡¯s car. I saw it unconscious so quickly I opened the door of her car and lifted her up.

    I almost got depressed at what I saw, the woman I love was bathed with her own blood. I didn¡¯t know what to do while waiting for the ambnce, I firstid her on my shoulder even though my clothes were also covered in blood now.

    Later, the ambnce arrived and quickly took Monique. She needed to be taken to the hospital immediately because she lost a lot of blood. Kevin also told me toe along.

    ¡°Hold on Nique, you¡¯re strong, you can do that. We haven¡¯t talked properly yet.¡± he said while they were on their way to the hospital

    Thunder POV

    When Cain parked the car I quickly went down to look for my wife and I was not mistaken because I heard her voice asking for help.

    I almost gasped when I saw that her life was in danger because she just clung to a branch and when it was cut, she would fall into the abyss.

    I quickly ran to where she was.

    ¡°Hon, hold on to my hand.¡± I ejacted as I held out her hand.

    ¡°I c-can¡¯t hon, I don¡¯t have the strength anymore. Maybe when I let go of my hand I¡¯ll fall.¡±

    ¡°Trust me hon, you can do it just give me your one hand,¡± Thunder¡¯s eyes were almost wet as he spoke.

    He never thought they would reach this point, that just a little wrong move would lose his wife.

    As he tried to reach Jewel¡¯s hand, Kevin was there supporting Thunder

    Kevin is almost sweating because of the tension he feels and at the same time he is also eaten by nervousness because his cousin is in danger.

    ¡°Hon, I think I can¡¯t make it. Please take care of Storm for me.¡± Jewel cried

    ¡°Don¡¯t say that! I¡¯ll save you, go ahead and hold my hand now.¡± He is pleading.

    Even though Jewel is struggling and she doesn¡¯t know what the oue will be she prefers to trust her husband. She was very tired and she had many wounds all over her body.

    She closed her eyes tightly and her son¡¯s face entered her mind, she felt courage because of it. She cannot despair because their son is waiting for them.

    She opened her eyes and looked at Thunder who was almost crying. Slowly she reached for Thunder¡¯s outstretched hand with one of her hands.

    When she was sure that she was holding the young man¡¯s hand, her nervousness lessened a little. She felt the tightness of Thunder¡¯s grip on her hand as if he was too scared to let go of it.

    ¡°Go on hon, give me one more hand.¡±

    Jewel shook her head and looked down and knew that if she fell she would not survive.

    She looked at her husband again and she could see the trail of tears in Thunder¡¯s eyes.

    Eventually Jewel reached out one of her hands to Thunder and hoped it would save her.

    Thunder, on the other hand, gave all his strength to hold his wife¡¯s two hands, he can¡¯t be wrong because he might let go of it and his wife may fall, he can¡¯t becent until he pulls the girl up.

    Fortunately, Kevin was there by his side and helping to support him.

    After a few minutes, they finally pulled Jewel upstairs. He immediately hugged his wife.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.

    ¡°Hon, Marga is¡­.¡± Jewel cried as she hugged Thunder.

    On the other hand, the police were busy nning because they went down to retrieve Marga¡¯s body which eventually fell into the ravine.

    Jewel just cried and cried as her husband hugged her, so scared because of what happened.

    After a few minutes she calmed down as well. Her cousin Kevim approached her. ¡°Thank God you¡¯re safe.¡± He said as she hugged her tight

    She released from her husband¡¯s embrace and quickly hugged her cousin.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everything will be alright.¡± His alleviation within her.

    ¡°Hon, we need to go now. You need to be checked at the hospital.¡± anas of Thunder

    ¡°You¡¯d better take her so she can be checked. We¡¯ll take care of this.¡± Kevin said

    Thunder was already supporting Jewel when she suddenly fainted, fortunately the young man was prompt so he caught her immediately.

    He quickly picked her up and put it in Cain¡¯s car. He already knows what happened to Monique but he has not yet informed his wife because it might affect her even more.

    He drove quickly to the hospital.

 Chapter 64

    The young man Cain was outside the emergency room, he had been walking back and forth since they arrived here and the girl Monique entered the loon. He didn¡¯t know how he would feel at these times. When he saw the girl bathing in her own blood, he was very nervous and afraid.

    Later on, he just sat down and weakly prayed that the girl would be well and safe. He knew he had hurt it too much but even so he still loved it even though he was always pushing it away. Of all the painful things he said here it still managed to save him.

    He was in that state when Thunder arrived. ¡°How is she?¡± he asked and sat down next to him.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know yet, until now he¡¯s still inside and the doctor hasn¡¯te out yet.¡± He answered. ¡°Where is Jewel? How is she?¡± he added

    ¡°She¡¯s done already in her check up and she is resting now. She fainted before we could go there.¡± Thunder said

    ¡°She suffered so much, I hope she¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s a strong woman so I know if she¡¯ll be okay when she wakes up,¡± Thunder said reassure

    ¡°What happened to Margaux? Was he caught? She had to pay for what she did.¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s dead Cain, she fell into the abyss before we even arrived.¡± Thunder answered

    ¡°She deserves it, because of her hatred many have been affected,¡± the young man clenched his fist as he uttered those words.

    After a few minutes the ER suddenly opened and a doctor was spit out there. Cain got up quickly and approached her. ¡°Doc. How are you? Is she okay?¡±

    The doctor could not answer immediately so he felt even more nervous.

    ¡°Honestly she¡¯s in critical condition, she lost a lot of blood and another problem and a lot of crystal is in her eye so it¡¯s more dangerous and it will affect the patient a lot,¡± the doctor exined.

    ¡°I¡¯ll leave you two first because we still need a blood transfusion andter we¡¯ll move her to a private room.¡± the doctor added and went inside again

    Cain wiped his face and suddenly shed tears because of what he heard. He could not fully imagine that the girl¡¯s life would be endangered like this.

    ¡°Calm down Cain, Monique will be okay. She won¡¯t leave you because I know she loves you,¡± Thunder said.

    ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. If I hadn¡¯t allowed her to follow Margaux she wouldn¡¯t have been like this.¡± he mes himself

    Thunder tapped his friend¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You need to be strong Cain, Monique needs you more now so you shouldn¡¯t be discouraged.¡±

    Later, Thunder said goodbye because he would go back to his wife¡¯s room first. The young man was left alone while still waiting outside the ER.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    After about three hours, Monique was immediately transferred to a private room but she was still unconscious. Cain also called the girl¡¯s parents to let them know what had happened but even though they were too worried about their son and wanted to go home, they would arrive the next day because they had an important business meeting, so they asked Cain first. to monitor the girl¡¯s condition first and there is no problem with the young man because that is also what he will do.

    Two more days passed but Monique still did not wake up while Jewel was in good condition but she still had to stay in the hospital. Storm could hardly stop crying when he found out what happened to his mother. He slept here one night and went home the next morning because he still had ss.

    Cain was just sitting quietly on the side of Monique¡¯s bed, three days ago that thing happened and until now he is still waiting for the girl to wake up, while he was staring at Monique when the door opened and spat. There was Jewel sitting in a wheelchair as Thunder pushed it.

    ¡°Cain, you need to rest first.¡± Jewel said but the young man just shook his head

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me Jew, I¡¯m okay.¡± He weakly uttered

    ¡°Is there no news until now?¡± Thunder asked

    ¡°She¡¯s still not waking up, the doctor said she¡¯ll wake up soon.¡±

    There is a trace of pity in the eyes of the couple because they see the purse of the girl Monique as well as their friend who since the incident happened has not left the hospital.

    As Jewel stared at Monique she noticed the movement of her finger. ¡°Look, her finger is moving,¡± Jewel said happily so the two young men quickly looked at the girl.

    Later on Monique suddenly opened her eyes. ¡°Nique how are you? Are you in pain?¡± Cain asked while holding the girl¡¯s hand

    But they wonder why she doesn¡¯t respond and even looks at them.

    ¡°Hey Monique! How long have you been sleeping,¡±

    Jewel said but they still didn¡¯t know the answer.

    ¡°Where am I?¡± Monique asked

    ¡°You¡¯re here in the hospital, isn¡¯t it obvious. Can¡¯t you see it?,¡± Jewel said

    ¡°Where are you? Why can¡¯t I see you? Why is it so dark here?¡± Monique asked again

    Their foreheads immediately wrinkled. ¡°What are you talking about Monique? Are you joking?¡± Thunder asked

    But they noticed that the girl was not joking because it was serious. ¡°Why is it dark? And where are you? I can¡¯t see you.¡±

    The couple was almost left speechless because of this while Cain was just stunned and unable to speak.

    ¡°Better call the doctor Cain.¡± Thunder said

    Cain immediately followed and called the doctor, less than a few minutes before he returned and was followed by his doctor and nurse.

    They approach the woman and chineck her condition.

    ¡°Wait what¡¯s going on? Who are you? Why are you holding me? Why can¡¯t I see anything!¡± Monique starts to get hysterical.

    A nurse quickly grabbed her hands and with what the doctor injected into the girl andter she lost consciousness.

    ¡°W-wait what did you do? What did you inject her with?¡± Cain asked

    ¡°It¡¯s just calmer. Later, she¡¯ll wake up again,¡± the nurse replied.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on why she is saying over and over that she can¡¯t see us?¡± Thunder asked, already confused.

    ¡°It is expected that this is how she will react when she wakes up, as I told youst time in the emergency room, it will have a big effect on her and it looks like it is happening now. Many crystals entered her eyes and we haven¡¯t been able to cure it yet. I¡¯m sorry Mr. but your girlfriend is already blind. ¡± the doctor exined

    Jewel¡¯s eyes widened to what was heard. ¡°Doc. W-what are you saying? D-don¡¯t joke like that, it¡¯s not funny,¡± Cain stammered weakly.

    ¡°I wish I was, but that¡¯s the truth, she lost her sight, that¡¯s why she can¡¯t see you. But she can still regain her sight when we see a donor and when she undergoes an operation.¡± doctor¡¯s reassure

    They also said goodbye immediately because there were other patients to take care of, Cain remained silent even after the doctors came out.

 Chapter 65

    There was silence in the room after Thunder came out, Jewel was crying so Thunder caressed her back while Cain was sitting quietly on the side of Monique¡¯s bed who obviously still couldn¡¯t believe what was said. of the doctor.

    Later they saw the girl waking up. So Cain quickly took hold of her hands. ¡°How are you feeling? Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?¡± he asked but the girl did not answer.

    Monique POV

    I woke up to see nothing but pure darkness. A few times I also asked my roommates why I couldn¡¯t see anything and I also got no answer. They called the doctor and I just felt like someone had injected it into me and I suddenly felt drowsy. It was only then that I realized there was something else.

    And now I woke up and knew they were still here in my room. Cain asks me a few times but I feel like no word wants toe out of my mouth. I should be happy because he¡¯s here next to me but I can¡¯t.

    Now I realize that everything happened between Marga and me and how I collided. Now I know the answer to my question.

    I smiled bitterly. ¡®I can¡¯t see anything, I am now blind,¡¯ ¨C she whispered in her mind

    Suddenly tears streamed down the girl¡¯s eyes. She feels useless now.

    Cain hurried to her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Tell me,¡± his voice showed concern that made the girl cry even more.

    The girl removed Cain¡¯s grip on her. ¡°Stop Cain, don¡¯t worry about me because I know you wouldn¡¯t be here if nothing like this happened to me. You hate me,¡± she said.

    ¡°What are you talking about? Don¡¯t think like that, I¡¯m here because I want to. Take a rest first so that you will gain your strength again.¡± Cain said

    ¡°Nique is right, you need to rest first.¡± Jewel seconded but the girl just shook her head.

    ¡°Don¡¯t feel pity for me because I¡¯m okay, as you see I¡¯m alive oh. Hahahaha!¡± said Monique.

    ¡°And about you Cain you don¡¯t have to stay here just to watch over me because you¡¯re not responsible for me. I can handle myself.¡± She added

    ¡°Don¡¯t be stubborn.¡± Cain insisted

    ¡°What do you want me to do? To act like I can¡¯t handle myself, huh?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not what I mean.¡± Cain answered

    ¡°Don¡¯t need to have pity on me. This has been my karma for all the mistakes I¡¯vemitted, you see? This is thepensation that blinded me! Maybe I¡¯ve already paid for my loss of sight, haven¡¯t I Cain? Maybe thepensation is enough, my two eyes. ¡± Monique¡¯s said tearful

    Jewel could hardly hold back her tears because she heard that Thunder also couldn¡¯t hold back the tears.

    ¡°Nique I didn¡¯t ask you to be like that! I didn¡¯t like what happened to you. Do you think I¡¯m d you went blind, huh? No!¡± Cain shouted in anger

    The girl never spoke again and just kept crying.

    Cain immediately hugged her and it was good that she didn¡¯t fight back anymore.

    A few minutester they heard a knock on the door andter it spat on Monique¡¯s parents, Cain let go of hugging the girl to give her parents time.

    The two immediately approached their daughter and hugged her tightly.

    ¡°My baby, what happened to you?¡± Monique¡¯s mother asked

    ¡°Mom, dad!¡± poor woman call to her parents

    ¡°Ssshhhh now baby, your mommy and I are here,¡± Her father said

    They already knew what had happened because Cain had told them so they did not finish what they needed to do and left it for their daughter first.

    ¡°Mom, my career is ruined. My dreams will nevere true. Everything is gone because I¡¯m blind.¡± they feel the pain in the word uttered by the womanContent is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Listen to me Monique, you won¡¯t stay blind forever. Daddy will do anything to get your sight back, we¡¯ll find a way and a donor so you can see again. Okay?¡± persistent promise of her father

    They talked until the girl calmed down, the couple agreed to take Monique to another country for treatment and to find a donor.

    The young man Cain also said that he would go with them to leave because he wanted him to take care of Monique but their problem was that Monique did not want to agree.

    ¡°The best thing is to talk to her first. Cain, your aunt and I will just go out and fix Monique¡¯s needs before we leave.¡± the girl¡¯s father said and imitated his wife.

    Meanwhile, Thunder said goodbye also because Jewel also needs to take her medicine.

    ¡°You¡¯re making your stubbornness work again. Even if you will not agree and you don¡¯t want me to go with you I¡¯ll stille and you can¡¯t change my decision no matter what.¡± Cain said

    ¡°What are you deciding on? And do you think I¡¯ll let youe with us? Cain you don¡¯t have to do that. You¡¯re needed here and you have a work and apany here you can¡¯t leave just for someone like me,¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m the boss of mypany so I¡¯ll decide if Ie or not. Don¡¯t be stubborn because that will not work for me.¡± Cain answered

    ¡°Why do you want toe? Cain can¡¯t you see I¡¯m blind! I¡¯m blind! You¡¯re just going to hurt yourself. I¡¯m just going to be a burden to you, do you understand that?¡±

    ¡°So what now? I don¡¯t care if you¡¯re blind! I¡¯d still like toe and take care of you!¡± Cain said seriously

    The quarrelsted for a few more minutes and eventually Monique got tired because Cain¡¯s decision didn¡¯t seem to change and he was obviously running out of patience.

    She also didn¡¯t want to act anymore because she knew in herself that she still loved the young man and she was happy that they were talking already.

 Chapter 66

    Months passed by and they continued their life and moved on to what had happened. Dark also found out what had happened and Calli was very worried about her friend but she still couldn¡¯t go home at that time because she was giving birth. While Cain and Monique have gone abroad, until now they have not been able to find a donor but they are confident that they will also be able to find one.

    Jewel is now here in New York with husband and son. They have been here for almost a week and Jewel is very happy because Storm¡¯s rtionship with his father has finally improved.

    They are currently at a resort because Thunder has a meeting here, Jewel can¡¯t understand why her husband needs to take them with him even though it¡¯s just a meeting. The girl tried to ask her son but he also did not answer. He then felt a strange nervousness. It¡¯s past six in the evening Jewel is getting dressed, since this morning she hasn¡¯t seen her husband.

    ¡°Mom, are you done? Can you make it fast, daddy is waiting for us.¡± Storm said as he entered in their suite

    Sometimes he really wants to raise her eyebrows because of her childish attitude. He really inherited his behavior from his father who doesn¡¯t want to wait long.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, where is your daddy? I haven¡¯t seen him since this morning.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ll see himter mom,¡± her son replied

    They boarded the car Thunder had ordered to pick them up, unaware of the surprise waiting for her that night.

    They arrive at a resort where Thunder says there is a meeting, but Jewel wonders as to why she doesn¡¯t see anyone here. She just kept walking and soon after the lights went out, she screamed in shock and Storm quickly groaned but she couldn¡¯t see it.

    ¡°Storm? Son, where are you?¡± she shouted

    Even though she called the child¡¯s name a few times, the little boy didn¡¯t answer so she felt nervous again,ter on she heard footsteps but she couldn¡¯t see anything.

    Jewel didn¡¯t know what to do, she wanted to run and leave that ce but she didn¡¯t know where to go because she didn¡¯t know that resort and it was also very dark because there was no light.

    ¡°I¡¯ll really kill you Thunder after this!¡± she shouted that she almost wanted to cry out of fear.

    She heard weakughter so she stopped nagging because she was ashamed to realize that she was not alone, she thought that maybe her husband really had a meeting here and the light really went out. ¡®This is an embarrassing Jewel!¡¯ ¨C she said to herself

    Later, the side lit up and various photos came out. There was a photo of their wedding day, there was a photo when they were on vacation, a photo of her and Thunder, a photo of her, Thunder and their son.

    Jewel couldn¡¯t help but to cry, even though she was still confused as to why there were such things.

    Later on she saw her husband standing on the small stage as he was smiling looking at her while holding a microphone.

    ¡°Hon, I know how many I¡¯ve made against you in the past. I didn¡¯t treat you as a wife and I hurt you many times, I alsomitted a big mistake that caused you to leave and suffered big time and I am sorry for all of that.¡± Thunder said

    ¡°When I found out that you were back, I was very happy because I thought I would be able to apologize to you and I would be able to do what I should have done before. I also found out that we have a child so I worked even harder to get you back but like the others it hasn¡¯t been that easy, Storm is mad at me and I understand that because it¡¯s all my fault and I said to myself that I deserve it. ¡±C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    It descended the stage and slowly walked towards her while he in turn was relentlessly streaming down the tears in his eyes.

    When the young man approached her he held her hand. ¡°Hon, I know you¡¯ve suffered a lot and it¡¯s all because of me. I know our marriage didn¡¯t go well. And now I want to correct all the mistakes I¡¯ve made. I want us to start again as a happy andplete family . ¡±

    Jewel was surprised when he knelt down on her and took out a small red box from his pocket. ¡°Will you marry me again? Will you be Mrs. Alcantara for the rest of our lives?¡± He asked

    Jewel could hardly answer immediately because of the mixture of joy and shock she felt. She couldn¡¯t quite imagine that it would propose marriage to her again.

    Before she could answer suddenly a voice spoke behind them. ¡°Can you answer daddy mommy? I¡¯m already hungry.¡± Storm said

    The people around themughed even though Jewel still doesn¡¯t know who they are.

    ¡°Y-yes! I will marry you and be Mrs. Alcantara again.¡± Jewel replied smiling as her tears continued to flow

    Thunder quickly stood up and put the ring on her and hugged her lovingly. This is Jewel¡¯s long dream of getting married to the person she loves and loves her too and now she is so happy because it hase true.

    Suddenly the lights turned on and at the same time the people who witnessed what Thunder did apuded. Jewel was shocked to see them. Her parents, Thunder¡¯s parents, Dark, Calli as well as their son are here and Cain is also here with Monique.

    Jewel has nothing more to ask for because she is happy to see all the important people in her life here and she knows that she will be with him until the end.

    They approached to greet the two.

    ¡°Congrats! Finally, you have aplete family now.¡± Cain said while holding Monique who was also smiling. ¡°Congrats sis!¡± she also greeted the two

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re really mean to me Cain, my husband has changed for a long time and I¡¯m happy that you both are here too. Well, thank you Monique, how are you now?¡±

    ¡°How can we not go here if your husband scares us big time?¡± Monique said andugh

    .

    ¡°And we also have good news, we have already found a donor and next week is Monique¡¯s schedule for her surgery.¡± Cain said

    Calli approached and hugged her best friend tightly. ¡°Congrats Mercyl! I¡¯m so happy for you, you deserve all the happiness in life. This is what you asked for has been fulfilled. I just hope your husband doesn¡¯t be stupid anymore!¡± She turned her gaze to Thunder who made everyoneugh.

    After the greeting, they immediately shared a meal.

 Chapter 67

    Five months ago when Thunder and Jewel remarried, the two have been on good terms for the past month. But it is still unavoidable that there are days when they quarrel or fight, because the young man¡¯s jealousy and possessiveness towards his wife is still there.

    Jewel is here now at their dining table because she is arranging what she has prepared for her husband as a peace offering because they had a misunderstanding the other day. Their son is away because he is abroad with Thunder¡¯s parents, while Jewel¡¯s parents are busy with their business in New York.

    Jewel looked at the clock and it was about ten o¡¯clock in the evening but she still didn¡¯t have her husband which she was very surprised because she is not going home thiste.. He first sat in their living room to just wait for it, She picked up her phone and called Thunder.

    ¡°Hello,¡± greeted the one on the other line.

    ¡°What time are you going home?¡± She asked

    ¡°Maybeter, there¡¯s a lot more to take care of here,¡± the young man replied but Jewel wondered why it was noisy in the ce where it was.

    ¡°Where are you? You¡¯re not in the office are you?

    Why the background noise?¡± She asked.

    ¡°I¡¯m at the bar with my employees, because one of the deals was closed so as a thankful gift I treat them here.¡±

    ¡°Is that so? I thought you were going home early because you said it,¡± the girl¡¯s voice was sad.

    He heard the young man sigh. ¡°I can¡¯t leave them, I brought them here hon,¡±

    ¡°I know and I understand. It¡¯s okay,¡± the girl said weakly.

    ¡°I¡¯m going home after a few hours. Okay?¡±

    After they talked, Jewel immediately dropped the call, she felt disappointed because this was the first time that Thunder did not fulfill his promise. In the past, when he said to go home early, he would go home at the right time, no matter how busy he is.

    The girl did nothing and just went upstairs to sleep, because she knew that she had nothing to wait for because she was sure that her husband woulde home in the morning.

    Thunder POV

    I just sighed after I talked to my wife. I know and I feel the sadness in her voice when I said that I can¡¯t go home right away, because I can¡¯t leave my employees here. And I know I¡¯m guilty too because I didn¡¯t tell her about the n today and another thing that added to my mind was the misunderstanding we had the day before.

    I¡¯ll just talk to herter when I get home or tomorrow, I won¡¯t be here long either.

    I have gone back to my friends because I am with them now.

    ¡°What¡¯s with that face of yours?¡± Dark asked

    ¡°Just ask who is the reason why his face is like that,¡± Cainughed a second time.

    ¡°Even if I don¡¯t ask, I know that¡¯s because of Jewel.¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡± Cain asked seriously.

    ¡°I forgot to tell her about this, because we talked earlier that I will go home early today,¡± I saidC¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    ¡°Oh oh, you¡¯re in big trouble men,¡± Dark said

    My face wrinkled even more because my friend said, I know Jewel will just be quiet but I know in myself that we have a problem now.

    ¡°Just talk to her when you get home, you know Jew is easy to talk to as long as you lower your pride so you can get along right away,¡± Cain said as he drank his beer.

    I nodded and dropped the ss I was holding with only wine.

    We just kept drinking and we even talked about what¡¯s what.

    I didn¡¯t realize it at the time and I was already feeling dizzy, it looks like I had too much alcohol so this is how I feel.

    I looked around and saw if my employees were still having fun while my two friends looked like they were drunk as well.

    I got up and went around to the dance floor, even though I was drunk I was still managing myself.

    When I got to the dance floor I was suddenly pulled over by one of my employees.

    ¡°Sir,e here first and dance with us. Right guys?¡± One of my employees said,

    I couldn¡¯t do anything about it when she kept on pulling me so even though I was dizzy I just let them go.

    As the woman in front of me who had pulled me earlier continued to dance I could feel her approaching me. She is trying to seduce me, I think she is new to my office and she didn¡¯t know that I am married. I admit she is sexy and pretty but still my wife is sexier and gorgeous.

    Later on it suddenly clung to me and then she suddenly kissed me. At first I got shocked and also because of my drunkenness I saw my wife¡¯s face on her so I couldn¡¯t help but respond to her kiss.

    But I stopped and let go of holding the woman when I felt the sudden silence around and I heard Dark and Cain calling to me and when I looked at who they were looking at I felt so scared and nervous.

    The only one person standing and looking close to us was none other than my wife.

    ¡°Hon..¡± I whisper

    Jewel POV

    I woke up in my sleep and looked at the clock. Thunder was still not home yet so what I did was I just put on a jacket and took my car key to go to where they were bar. All I knew was that Dark and Cain were there too.

    The trip didn¡¯t take long because it wasn¡¯t far from home and because it was early in the morning so there was no traffic.

    When I got to the bar I parked my car and quickly got out, just outside you could already hear the noiseing from inside.

    I walked inside and rolled my eyes to see where my husband was, not long after I saw Cain and Dark lying on a table and suddenly Cain looked up and he saw me, he immediately tapped and Dark.

    But I lost my attention when I heard the noiseing from the dance floor, I walked over there and I looked at what was happening.

    I was so shocked by what I saw and it was as if I was a statue unable to move where I was standing.

    I could still hear Cain screaming but I felt deaf because I could no longer understand what they were saying because my eyes were only focused on the person in front of me.

    I saw my husband kissing one of his employee..

 Chapter 68

    Jewel POV

    I could barely move what I saw, as the noise inside the bar suddenly disappeared. I could see the fear in my husband¡¯s eyes and the woman bowed as if ashamed of what had happened. Based on the rumors of other employees, it looks like she is just a beginner because she doesn¡¯t seem to know that the guy she was flirting with is already married.

    I don¡¯t know what my reaction will be because of what I witnessed. I can¡¯t quite imagine that Thunder will be able to betray me after all we¡¯ve been through. I just smiled bitterly.

    ¡°Why did you shut up all of a sudden? You all continue the party. I just went by to see if my husband is okay and he looks fine so I can already sleep soundly,¡± I said and motioned for the DJ to y the music again.

    ¡°Hon, let me exin,¡± Thunder said as he walked closer to me but I didn¡¯t wait for him anymore and I turned around and walked away.

    I did the running just to get to my car right away before I shed the tears that I had been holding back.

    I was about to get into my car when someone pulled my arm. ¡°Hon, it¡¯s not what you think it is. Please hear me out,¡± he pleaded.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already seen what I¡¯m supposed to see Thunder so you don¡¯t have to exin anything. I¡¯ve seen enough! Aren¡¯t you ashamed of your employees who know that you¡¯re married but still flirting with someone else?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not flirting, I was just surprised when she suddenly kissed me.¡± frustration is written in his face.

    ¡°Save your exnation to your son. I thought we were enough but it doesn¡¯t seem like it is. I know we have our misunderstanding but I don¡¯t know that you will express your frustration to other women,¡± I scoffed and I couldn¡¯t wait for him to answer and I got in the car and locked it.

    He knocked on my door many times but I had no ns to open it, tears kept dripping from my eyes, earlier I was holding back the breath in front of them.

    I started the car and pulled it over, I could still see Thunder riding in his car but I didn¡¯t pay any attention to it.

    Tears just kept flowing in my eyes as I drove. I don¡¯t know how else I will feel now because I only know one thing and that is what hurts me so much.

    I know I did my best for our family and I didn¡¯t know we would be like this again.

    When I thought so much, I didn¡¯t even realize that I was no longer in the line of the road and it was toote for me to break because I just felt like I was hit by the truck I hit. I could feel the force of the impact on my body that I was about to close.

    I still heard many voices but I could no longer open my eyes. Before I fainted I could feel a man¡¯s arm lift me up.

    Thunder POV

    I am now following my wife after she left the bar and didn¡¯t even listen to my exnation. I feel like the spirit of alcohol has suddenly disappeared from my system because of what happened.

    As I followed her I noticed she was missing the line so I suddenly felt nervous because of that. Later I saw that there was a car to meet her, I thought she could avoid it but I was wrong.

    I could see how my wife¡¯s car crashed into the car, I quickly got out of my car and quickly walked over to her car.

    As soon as I opened the door of her car and then lifted her out, I could see her bathing in her own blood and she was also unconscious probably due to the force of its collision.

    I wasted no more moments and I quickly put her in my car and I drove to the nearby hospital where we were.

    As I was driving I couldn¡¯t help but feel fear for my wife. In less than ten minutes we arrived at the hospital and I quickly dropped her off.

    The doctor and nurses acted quickly as they admitted my wife to the emergency room. I was left alone outside because it was forbidden to enter.

    A few times I walked back and forth because of the nervousness I felt, a few times I also prayed for my wife to survive.

    I sat down first to call Cain to let him know what had happened.

    ¡°Cain,¡± I begin

    ¡°Hey Thunder, where are you? Did you talk to Jewel?

    ¡°I¡¯m here in the hospital. Are you and Dark together? Juste here,¡± I saidAll content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.

    ¡°W-wait, why are you there? What happened?¡±

    ¡°Jewel had an ident, juste here,¡± I said and hung up.

    It¡¯s been almost an hour but still no one ising out of the emergency room so I can¡¯t help but worry about my wife¡¯s condition.

    I just bowed while praying again.

    Later on the door opened and the doctor came out so I quickly got up and approached it.

    ¡°How is my wife doc?¡± I asked.

    ¡°We¡¯ve already got some crystal in her body Mr. Alcantara, but she lost a lot of blood so we need to transfuse her before she runs out.¡± His exnation.

    ¡°Do everything you can to save my wife,¡± I said and the doctor nodded

    ¡°We will do our best for your wife Mr. Alcantara, I need to go now.¡± He said goodbye and go back inside the emergency room a

    After the doctor left, I just leaned against the wall on the side of the emergency room. I feel like all my emotions are mixed up.

    ¡®Lord I know I havemitted many mistakes in my life but I beg you to please save my wife. Don¡¯t take her away from me because I can¡¯t handle when she wille into my life and also my son will get hurt.¡¯ I whispered.

 Chapter 69

    Thunder POV

    I¡¯m here at the outside of the ER, until now the doctor still hasn¡¯te out after I talked to him earlier. I no longer knew what to do. I felt the alcohol suddenly disappear from my body.

    Later, Dark and Cain arrived, apparently also escaping alcohol in their body.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Dark asked while Cain tapped me on the shoulder.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, she just got in the car so I followed her and then I just saw her hit a truck,¡± I exined.

    ¡°Just think positively bro, Jewel is strong she won¡¯t leave you and Storm.¡± Dark encourages me.

    Later, the ER opened and the doctor I talked to earlier came out. The three of us stood up. ¡°Doc. How¡¯s my wife?¡± I asked.

    ¡°She is stable as of now Mr. Alcantara, but we can¡¯t say that everything is fine because she hasn¡¯t woken up yet. We will conduct more tests on her to make sure that she is okay.¡±

    Thunder nodded.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Jewel now?¡± Cain asked.

    ¡°We will move her to a private room so that she can rest better,¡± the doctor said.

    The three of them immediately followed him into the room when Jewel was moved. It was already morning but Killian couldn¡¯t even feel sleepy, he just sat on the side of his wife¡¯s bed, while Dark and Cain slept on the side of the other bed.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry hon, if it wasn¡¯t for me it would not have happened to you. I hope when you wake up you will let me exin to you. I don¡¯t want us to break up just because of this. I know in myself that I didn¡¯t want this to happen. So please, get well soon. ¡± Thunder spoke to his wife while holding his hand, until he was no longer aware of the heaviness of his eyelid.

    The next day Thunder woke up because of the noiseing from the room, and when he looked up he saw Calli sitting next to his wife while Cain and Dark were drinking coffee.

    ¡°Look, Thunder woke up because of your noisy mouth Calli,¡± Cain scolded the girl.

    Calli¡¯s eyebrows rose. ¡°Why me? My voice is low so don¡¯t me me,¡± She said andter turned to Thunder.

    ¡°And you idiot! What the hell did you do to my best friend this time? You¡¯re already married, why did you kiss another woman?¡± She said while sobbing.

    ¡°Hey chill babe, lower your voice you might wake up Jewel and she will be scolding you for that. And I already told you what happened.¡± Dark said to her wife.

    ¡°And who is that woman? When I see her I¡¯ll really make her bald.¡± Calli¡¯s ejaction.

    Cainughed as he drank his coffee. ¡°No need to do that Calli, because Thunder has already fired her.¡±

    ¡°Is that true? Well, he should do it because of what happened to his wife so he should naturally get rid of that woman!¡± Calli eximed.

    ¡°Oh calm down or else your ugly face will appear,¡± Cain teased.

    ¡°Bastard! Where is Monique? She should take good care of you, it looks like you didn¡¯t drink your medicine.¡± the maiden¡¯s growl.

    They allughed except for me who was just silently looking at my wife who is still unconscious. Dark noticed it so he stood up and approached me.

    ¡°You okay?¡± He asked and he tapped me on the shoulder.

    I looked at him and stood up. ¡°I¡¯m okay, but I¡¯ll be more okay when Jewel wakes up.¡± I said.

    ¡°Everything is a mess,¡± I added weekly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t say that bro, everything will be alright. Jewel will also wake up and you will both fix this.¡±

    Later they noticed the movement of Jewel¡¯s finger so they looked at her.

    ¡°Hon?¡± I called my wife.

    Gradually she opened her eyes, as Calli and Cain also approached us.

    ¡°Best! Thank God and you are already awake. I thought you¡¯d rest for how many days, I¡¯ll really tweak you.¡± Calli eximed.

    But Jewel is just quiet and doesn¡¯t speak.

    ¡°Where am I? Who are you?¡± Jewel said softly which surprised them all.

    ¡°Hey bitch don¡¯t make fun of us like that, I might p you.¡± Calli said.

    But Jewel didn¡¯t say anything so Cain called the doctor to inform that the patient was awake.

    Later, the doctor entered together with a nurse. They examined Jewel andter they injected something into her so she lost consciousness again.

    ¡°Doc. What did you inject her with? And what is happening? Why doesn¡¯t she know us?¡± it was Dark who asked because Thunder still didn¡¯t seem to be on his own since Jewel woke up.

    ¡°We expect this to happen, it¡¯s only natural, especially since she crashed. But it won¡¯tst long either and maybeter when she wakes up again everything will be back to normal and otherwise maybe in the next few days.¡± doctor¡¯s exnation.

    ¡°W-didn¡¯t you have a bad effect on him?¡± I asked as I returned to my senses.

    ¡°No Mr. Alcantara, all the tests we did on your wife were normal results so you don¡¯t have to worry¡± replied by the doctor.

    They breathed a sigh of relief because of this, they thought that Jewel waspletely amnesia.

    ¡°I¡¯m leaving because I still have a patient in the other room, just call me again when she wakes up.¡±

    ¡°I was nervous big time, I really thought it was true that Jewel forgot about us.¡± Cain eximed .

    ¡°Same as me. I thought she was just joking,¡± Calli said for the second time.

    ¡°Let¡¯s just think positively that everything will be back to normal when Jewel wakes up again.¡± Dark said.

    They all nodded except for me who just focused on my wife.

 Chapter 70

    Jewel POV

    I woke up and heard a lot of voices . Earlier I remembered the doctor had injected me when I first woke up so I fell asleep again. It¡¯s not really true that I don¡¯t remember anything, it¡¯s just that I n to do it even for a few days because I don¡¯t want to see nor talk to Thunder but I don¡¯t want to lie to them.

    Up to this day it is still clear in my mind what I saw that night and every time I see him or even just hear his voice I am hurting. Knowing that he didn¡¯t like what happened but I still couldn¡¯t help but think.

    I opened my eyes because they didn¡¯t seem to notice that I was awake, first to notice was Calli so she quickly approached me and held my hand.

    ¡°Mercyl! It¡¯s good that you are awake now, how are you feeling? Are you still in pain? Do you still remember me?¡± her sessive questions to me.

    Dark immediately approached her to stop her. ¡°Chi babe, Jewel just woke up.¡±

    I can¡¯t help butugh because of the two, it¡¯s really something they bothbine.

    ¡°Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?¡± Cain asked me, I didn¡¯t even notice him approaching me.

    ¡°Can I have water Cain?¡± He nodded and took some water and gave it to me.

    I quickly took it and drank it because I felt very thirsty. ¡°Thank you,¡± I said and ced the ss on the side of the small table.

    I heard the door open and the smile disappeared from my lips as I realized who had entered.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake, how are you feeling?¡± Thunder asked me.

    ¡°What are you doing here? I don¡¯t need you here.¡± I said hard.

    ¡°Jew let me exin, you know I didn¡¯t like that to happen!¡± his ejaction.

    ¡°Whatever you will say I won¡¯t believe it, so please get out!¡± he tried to touch me a few more times but I just shook his hand.

    ¡°Please get out Thunder, I don¡¯t want to see you.¡± I begged.

    Cain approached him and seemed to whisper something to him and they left the room where I was confined. Dark immediately said goodbye to go to the two while Calli was left here next to me.

    She pulled up the chair next to me. ¡°Are you okay, best?¡± She asked.

    I immediately nodded. ¡°I¡¯m fine Calli, my wounds are just a little sore.¡± I weakly answer.

    ¡°Because you are not being careful, you know you are driving but you are not looking on the road. What if that¡¯s not all you reached and worse than that? Next time be extra careful.¡± She said,

    ¡°Alright alright, fix your ugly face.¡± I joked here that she just raised her eyebrow.

    ¡°Maybe your eyes got affected because of the ident? Look at this pretty face of mine and you¡¯ll just say I¡¯m ugly? Justice, Mercyl!¡± She said that made meugh.

    ¡°By the way about you and Thunder.¡± She added.

    I sighed. ¡°I know Calli, but I still can¡¯t avoid not getting hurt.¡± I honestly said.

    ¡°I get your point best, your reason and feelings are valid. But don¡¯t let it ruin the good rtionship you have now, especially since you¡¯re starting your family.¡±

    I nodded. ¡°I know best and I won¡¯t let that happen.¡± I said.

    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. Get well first and then both of you need to talk.¡±

    Thunder, on the other hand, was sitting crouched in a chair on the side of Jewel¡¯s room, with Cain and Dark now.

    Thunder POV

    ¡°She hates me,¡± He kept on saying over and over.

    ¡°Let her think bro, you¡¯ll fix that in time.¡± persuasion of Cain.

    ¡°Cain is right bro, Jewel was just shocked so that¡¯s why, but you know your wife loves you.¡± Dark seconded.

    ¡°I know, it¡¯s just that I¡¯m afraid we¡¯re going to have another problem with our family, especially now that we are getting better and starting our new life.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged and you¡¯ll be able to get through that too. Will you give up now? You bith face so many challenges already.¡± Cain said.

    ¡°We¡¯re only here as your friends if you need someone to talk to and lean on. For now let Jewel rest first.¡± He added.

    It took them a few more minutes before they went back inside and they caught the two talking. Thunder went straight to a chair a little far from Jewel¡¯s bed because the woman might push her away again.

    ¡°It looks like you¡¯re talking about something serious,¡± Dark asked the two.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing babe, I¡¯m just banging my friend¡¯s head to make sure there¡¯s no damage,¡± Calliughed.

    Jewel quickly hit her for what she said.

    ¡°You are really a bitch and mean woman, I won¡¯t be surprised if one day Dark leaves you,¡± Jewel whispered.

    ¡°If he does that, he could no longer see his soon to be son.¡± Calli replied.

    Laughter filled the whole room because Calliyah and Dark started to argue.

    ¡°Why are you so quiet?¡± We heard Jewel ask Thunder so we both stoppedughing.

    ¡°What question is that Jewel? After you said you didn¡¯t want to see or talk to him then now you¡¯re going to ask why he¡¯s quiet. Are you really crazy?¡± Calliyah eximed.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    ¡°He just wants to give you what you wanted Jew, he¡¯s scared that maybe you¡¯ll put him outside the mosquito.¡± Cain seconded.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be like that to our friend, maybeter they won¡¯t have their sexy time.¡± Dark saidughing.

    ¡°Damn you all!¡± Thunder shouted and they allughed.

 Chapter 71

    Jewel POV

    Our friends also stayed here in the hospital for almost a few hours and during that time Thunder didn¡¯t even say a word, maybe he was ming himself again for what happened to me.

    Later, they also bid goodbye because Calliyah still has a check up while Cain will pick up Monique in the airport because she is from Paris for an event.

    ¡°We¡¯ll go first Mercyl huh? Get well don¡¯t be stubborn.¡± Calliyah eximed and turned her gaze to Thunder. ¡°And about you stop being a jerk because maybe next time you¡¯ll go bald.¡±

    Cain and Darkughed because of what Calli said, this woman really can¡¯t break her mouth.

    The two of us were left in the room but Thunder still didn¡¯t move, our son is not here now because he is in another country with his grandmothers. I really don¡¯t understand why they always take our son with them.

    I sneezed first before speaking. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to talk to me?¡± I said.

    He looked at me and bowed again. And since he didn¡¯t seem to have any ns to speak I slowly got up from my inclination.

    ¡°What are you doing? Where are you going? You¡¯re still not allowed to move.¡± He said annoyed and he stood up and stopped me from standing.

    ¡°Because you don¡¯t want to talk to me and you¡¯re still a long way away so I¡¯ll be the only one to approach you,¡± I whispered.

    I saw him sigh. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to talk to you, I just don¡¯t know how to deal with you because of what happened.¡± He admitted.

    ¡°What happened to me was not your fault, it¡¯s me because I didn¡¯t look well on the road.¡± I said.

    ¡°Whatever else you will say it¡¯s still my fault, I¡¯m the reason why you had that ident. I understand if you¡¯re mad at me or don¡¯t want to talk to me, but hon trust me I didn¡¯t want what you saw.¡±

    ¡°L-let¡¯s not talk about that first.¡± I said briefly.

    ¡°Then when? Don¡¯t you believe me? I want to talk about it now Jew because I don¡¯t want you to think about those things. I married you twice and I won¡¯t do anything that will ruin our family. I know I made a mistake in the past and I won¡¯t let it happen again. ¡±

    ¡°I know, it¡¯s just that you can¡¯t get that thing out of your mind Thunder, it¡¯s not easy for me especially every time I close my eyes I see that scenario and I know you understand me because if this thing happened to you, I know you won¡¯t ept my exnation right away. ¡± I exined.

    He nodded and never opened the topic again.

    ¡°Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?¡± He asked me.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    ¡°Maybe just fruit.¡± I answered.

    His eyebrows rose. ¡°You¡¯ve still haven¡¯t eaten rice since you woke up, eat this first and I¡¯ll peel a fruit for you.¡±

    I could do nothing but take what he gave to me and eat because I knew I had nothing against him. And because I¡¯m already feeling hungry.

    Almost quickly I ran out of rice and dishes, earlier I thought I could not eat well because I did not feel hungry but now I already eat too much.

    ¡°Eat slowly and you might get choked.¡± He said

    ¡°I¡¯m hungry,¡± I said.

    ¡°I thought you weren¡¯t hungry so you just asked me for fruit.¡±

    ¡± I suddenly felt hungry and this dish was delicious.¡± I said while eating more rice when I suddenly felt dizzy.

    ¡°Is that what I¡¯m saying, slow down when eating.¡± he handed me the water and I immediately drank it.

    Then when I finished eating he gave me a peeled fruit and sat down next to me.

    ¡°Did you eat already?¡± I asked him.

    ¡°I ate earlier with Cain.¡±

    ¡°Dark told me you didn¡¯t go home since you brought me here.¡± I said.

    ¡°How can I go home if you¡¯re here? I¡¯d rather watch you here. I¡¯m too scared when I see the blood in your head that time, I don¡¯t know what to do and I¡¯m sure I can¡¯t forgive myself when something bad happens to you. ¡±

    ¡°What you¡¯re saying just makes you feel guilty.¡± I joked.

    Suddenly his face was serious. ¡°I¡¯m serious Jewel, not because of what you think. I can¡¯t afford to ruin my family because of what has happened.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it, I¡¯m okay now.¡± I told him.

    I was surprised when he suddenly hugged me tightly so I hugged him back.

    Someone POV

    I am here now at the veranda of my condo where my son and I live, we have lived in the US for a long time and I just came back to introduce my son to his father. I will not allow my child to be an illegitimate child.

    Let¡¯s see now Thunder what will do once he know that he has a child tp another woman and how his wife will ept it. I¡¯m sure she will leave Thunder like what she did before.

    ¡°If you think you¡¯re going to be happy, I¡¯ll make sure that it won¡¯t happen. I¡¯m back to ruin the good life you have. I want Thunder and I will do everything to make him mine.

    I took the picture on the small table next to me, I see in the picture the happy photo of Jewel and Thunder.

    ¡°What a happy life you have Jewel. If Thunder hadn¡¯t married you I wouldn¡¯t have a problem, but you just blocked my path and I can¡¯t let that happen. I¡¯ll do everything just to get him in you no matter what happens. ¡± I said as I tore up the photo and threw it in the trash.

 Chapter 72

    Thunder POV

    A month ago the incident happened and I am happy because my husband and I got along well and there was no more fight between us because of that thing.

    I woke up with Jewel no longer beside me so I guess she was downstairs, so I got up and searched for her. Miraculously, we have been with our son for a month now without being borrowed by his grandparents.

    When I got down, I went straight to the dining table and I saw my wife and son there.

    ¡°Good morning daddy.¡± my son Storm said while eating his cereal.

    ¡°Good morning buddy.¡± I greeted my son back and even messed up his hair.

    I approached Jewel and kissed her on the cheek. ¡°Good morning wife.¡±Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    It smiled at me. ¡°Good morning hubby. Sit down and we¡¯ll eat.¡± she said.

    I sat down and we ate breakfast together.

    ¡°How¡¯s the restaurant?¡± I asked my wife.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay so far, the number of clients is increasing everyday.¡±

    ¡°Good to hear that, don¡¯t get yourself too tired.¡± I said.

    ¡°Na ah, the branch in other countries is managed by my secretary and the branch here is also growing. How about you? How is thepany?¡±

    ¡°Thepany is doing good, the sales are increasing every month, I also have a lot of investors now.¡± I answered.

    ¡°You deserve it hubby cause you¡¯re a good CEO, but don¡¯t push yourself too hard and also rest you might get sick.¡±

    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I tell you that? You¡¯re the one who needs a break.¡±

    ¡°Are you two fighting?¡± our son¡¯s groin.

    ¡°No, son.¡±

    ¡°Hindi anak.¡±

    We answered in chorus, the two of us looked around, sometimes we really can¡¯t imagine that Storm is only four years old because of his mature thinking.

    Soon we also finished eating so I went back to the bedroom first to take a shower because I was going to go to the office while Storm went straight to the living room to read his new books.

    I quickly finished taking a bath and get dressed also so that I could get in early and finish the work I had left so that I would have nothing else to think about.

    I went down to look for my wife who was just next to our son. ¡°Wife, I¡¯ll go ahead.¡± She looked at me and approached.

    ¡°You are now a CEP yet you still can¡¯t properly wear your necktie.¡± she said and fixed it.

    ¡°I¡¯m just in a hurry so I haven¡¯t fixed it.¡± I answered.

    When she finished, I kissed her on the lips and patted my son¡¯s head to say goodbye. I got in the car and drove to the office.

    When I got to the office I started doing what was left on my desk, I was in the middle of signing papers when the door opened and it spat out my secretary.

    ¡°Sir, someone is looking for you, she said she needs to talk to you, it¡¯s just important.¡±

    ¡°Let her in.¡± I replied without taking my eyes off the papers.

    I heard the door close and open. The woman sneezed as a reason for me to look at her, I almost lost my mind that there was someone.

    ¡°Who are you, Miss? And what do you need?¡± I ask.

    ¡°I need to talk to you about some important matter, Thunder.¡±

    My forehead wrinkled. ¡°Just direct to the point. I have lots of work to do and one more thing I don¡¯t remember. I have a schedule with someone. So please don¡¯t waste my time.¡± I said directly.

    The womanughed. ¡°You still haven¡¯t changed, I know you don¡¯t remember me because so many women have gone through your life. Let me introduce myself first. I¡¯m Jhazzy Villegas. I¡¯m one of your fling in the past.¡± she said.

    ¡°So you just came here for that? You are wasting my time.¡± I said.

    ¡°Not only because of that Thunder, I have an important reason why I¡¯m here and that¡¯s because of my son!¡± she shouted.

    ¡°Do you need help or money? Is that what you want?¡± I said.

    ¡°No! I need the father of my daughter Thunder! She¡¯s already growing up and she¡¯s already looking for a father.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean woman?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re the father of my daughter Thunder.¡± She made a serious promise.

    ¡°And you think I¡¯ll believe that? Miss if you can¡¯t do anything in your life don¡¯t ruin someone¡¯s life, you better find the father of your child.¡± I eximed.

    She handed me the envelope containing the DNA result and when I read it it was positive. ¡°And do you think I¡¯lle here if you¡¯re not Light¡¯s father? Or maybe you want me to tell your wife about this¡±

    My ears throbbed because of what I heard. ¡°Don¡¯t include my wife in this conversation, don¡¯t ruin the family I have. What do you need? How much and I¡¯ll give.¡± I said seriously.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need your money, what my daughter needs is her father so stand up for my daughter Thunder because she is also your child if you don¡¯t want your wife to know that you have a child with another woman. This is the address where we are living. ¡± she said and put down a piece of paper and left.

    My palms wiped my face, howe I got someone else pregnant when I was careful then and I always used protection? If that woman thought she could convince me just because of the role she showed, she was mistaken.

    Does she think I¡¯m a fool to believe the DNA she handed me? Especially since I don¡¯t know who she is and where she came from, for now I will let you have your illusions.

    I picked up my phone and called someone I trusted.

    ¡°Hello Thunder.¡± voice on the other line.

    ¡°I need you to investigate this Jhazzy Villegas and I need the DNA sample of the daughter of the father.¡± Imanded.

    ¡°W-what? You¡¯ve got a child with another woman?

    ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll let you investigate it if I knew?¡±

    After we talked, I immediately dropped the call, this day was even more stressful because of that woman. When the family I have is in order, someone wille to destroy it again. And I will not let that happen.

 Chapter 73

    Jhazzy POV

    I¡¯m with my son and Thunder now, it¡¯s been almost three weeks since I introduced him to his son and I wasn¡¯t wrong because he does everything I say. I knew that he was afraid that his wife might find out about us so I had to do everything to separate them.

    We just went shopping and bought my son some things. Jewel was really lucky because she already had everything. Well, I don¡¯t need money because all I want is Thunder.

    As we were eating at a restaurant I broke the silence that prevailed over us. ¡°It¡¯s good that you epted our son.¡±

    ¡°The child is not to me for anything that happened in the past but don¡¯t expect too much because I only care about the child.¡± he seriously said.

    ¡°I wonder how your wife will react when she finds out about your son from another woman.¡± I said.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare! You don¡¯t know what I am capable of if my wife gets hurt because of you.¡±

    ¡°How sweet! As I remember in the past, you were very angry at her and you even hurt her physically. You despise her so much that¡¯s why something happened to us. Why suddenly change to Thunder?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s non of your fucking business! Leave my wife alone.¡± he angrily said.

    I keep silent and not say anything but in my mind I will make sure Jewel will know everything. Let¡¯s see if your wife doesn¡¯t leave you.

    After we ate, Thunder drove us to our condo.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    ¡°Thank you papa for this day.¡± my son smiled at him.

    ¡°Wee.¡± he answered shortly and kissed my son on the forehead.

    I know that the day wille that she will love me too and I will make sure that Jewel never gets him back again.

    He said goodbye and got in his car, I saw someone called him on the phone and I¡¯m sure it was his wife. Well, I don¡¯t bother anymore cause I know in time Thunder will be mine.

    If Thunder thought I would be content with this set up I would not and never will. I need to get Thunder and that will only happen when Jewel gets out of our way. I need to start my n of ruining them.

    Thunder POV

    I just drove Jhazzy and her child to the condo where they¡¯re staying. I¡¯m actually annoyed with her, especially in the way she acts like a wife whenever we¡¯re together.

    How many times have I called my friend who I instructed to investigate this woman but he has not finished gathering information, this woman seems to be nning everything before showing up to me. I need to fix this as soon as possible.

    Even if I don¡¯t want to, I give her what she wants and I let her child call me Papa, it¡¯s better that I can be with them so that I can watch Jhazzy¡¯s every move and also to make sure that she will not talk to my wife.

    I want to tell Jewel everything but I don¡¯t want to do it first until I have proof that the boy is not my child. I don¡¯t want any trouble in my family.

    I parked my car in the garage and entered, I caught my wife who was sitting in the living room. When she saw me she smiled and stood up to kiss me.

    ¡°You look tired.¡± She said,

    ¡°Just did many things in the work hon.¡± I answered.

    ¡°That¡¯s why you look tired. Hon take a break once in a while, your job won¡¯t leave you okay? Do you want to eat? I cooked something for you andter I¡¯ll just massage you.¡±

    I smiled and hugged her. I can¡¯t afford to lose my wife, I made a mistake with her in the past and I won¡¯t allow it to happen again.

    ¡°Why?¡± she asked as I pulled away from hugging her.

    ¡°Nothing, I just miss you.¡±

    ¡°Are you sure? These past few days I¡¯ve been noticing that you are always in deep thoughts. Is there any problem? You can tell me.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t think about it hon, I¡¯m okay it¡¯s just that there¡¯s a lot of work in the office.¡±

    ¡°Okay if you say so but if you have a problem don¡¯t hesitate to tell me alright? Come I¡¯ll prepare your food.¡±

    I went to the dining area to sit down while she went straight to the kitchen and took me something to eat.

    Jewel POV

    When I finished preparing the food my husband started eating, I told him that I was going to go upstairs to fix something there. Sometimes I wonder what Thunder is doing. For the past three weeks I noticed that he was often anxious.

    I also tried to ask him for how many times if anything was bothering him but he always answered me that it was only because of work.

    When I finish what I am doing I call my friend Calliyah because it¡¯s been so long that I haven¡¯t talked to her, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on in that witch¡¯s life.

    ¡°Hello!¡±

    ¡°Hey girl, how is your life?¡± I ask her.

    ¡°I¡¯m still beautiful and nothing has changed.¡±

    ¡°So gross, I thought Dark already left you.¡± I joke.

    We talked for a few more minutes before the call ended. Soon the door opened and my husband spat.

    ¡°You can take a bath now hon, I¡¯m ready for the hot water in there.¡± I said.

    ¡°Thank you hon.¡± he answered and went straight to the bathroom.

    I just sat on the bed while waiting for my husband to finish, after a minute he came out of the bathroom topless and only the bottom of him was covered with a towel.

    ¡°You have clothes in the bathroom, why haven¡¯t you worn them?¡± I asked him.

    He smiled foolishly. ¡°I don¡¯t have to get dressed if I take it off.¡±

    I raised an eyebrow at him.

    ¡°Looks like I want dessert hon.¡± he said and kissed me at the same time.

    Who am I to reject my husband, right?

 Chapter 74

    Jewel POV

    Another month has passed and all I can say is that my rtionship with my son went well except for my husband who often thinks deeply and other things is he often goes out even though he is not at work.

    I also catch him talking on the phone as if he is angry or disgusted with the person he is talking to and when I ask him he often answers it all about work so I don¡¯t repeat it again even though the truth is I¡¯m really wondering.

    And now we are in the room and he is quietly sitting in our mini living room here, I approached him and asked. ¡°Are you okay?¡±

    He looked at me. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± he answered shortly.

    ¡°I¡¯ve been noticing for a few weeks that you seem stressed or have a problem, you can tell me Thunder.¡± I said.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s just I¡¯m tired from work.¡±

    ¡°Where did you go yesterday? I went through your office but you weren¡¯t there and your secretary said you didn¡¯te in.¡± I ask him.

    I saw the crack of his lip. ¡°About that I just took care of a client in a restaurant so I didn¡¯t go to thepany.¡±

    ¡°Is that so? Don¡¯t make yourself too tired or you¡¯ll get sick because of that.¡± I ordered him.

    He smiled and hugged me tightly. ¡°Even if I get sick, you are there to take care of me.¡± he said softly.

    ¡°It¡¯s unreasonable Thunder, I¡¯m serious, don¡¯t make me worry.¡± I said.

    ¡°I will not! Ahm hon can I ask you something?¡±

    I was so relieved in his embrace. ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°What if you know something I didn¡¯t tell you or I did something wrong are you willing to forgive me?¡± he asked seriously.

    I stared at him. ¡°What kind of question is that? Why are you serious? Of course you¡¯re my husband unless you have another woman or another child.¡± O saidughing.

    He bent down as if thinking. ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re okay? I¡¯m just kidding, I know that won¡¯t happen.¡± I added.

    He leaned on my shoulder. ¡°I love you hon, always remember that. No matter what happens.¡±

    ¡°And always remember that your son and I love you dearly.¡± I answered him.

    I couldn¡¯t understand why Thunder was saying things like this. I suddenly felt weird with him, first with his actions these past few weeks and now with his questions.

    Sometimes I just want to think that my husband really has a problem that he doesn¡¯t want to tell me, I don¡¯t want to force him because it might just be the reason we have a misunderstanding. I know he¡¯ll tell me that too when he¡¯s ready.

    Soon he invited me to sleep but even until we went to bed I still did not forget Thunder¡¯s questions as if he wanted to say something but he could not open his mouth. Until finally drowsiness visited me.

    The next day I woke up early because I was going to cook breakfast for Thunder because he was still in the office and now our maid was not there because she went home to visit his mother who was sick. While our son Storm is not here, he¡¯s with my parents.

    I get up to take a bath after I finish bathing. I came out wearing a simple tshirt and then went downstairs straight to the kitchen to cook breakfast. I just chose easy to cook so I wouldn¡¯t have to waste time.

    While I was cooking I felt someone hug me, I won¡¯t look at who it is because with his smell I know already that it is my husband.

    I turned to him and smiled. ¡°You are awake already.¡±

    ¡°I just woke up and didn¡¯t see you in the room so I just went down because I knew you were here in the kitchen.¡±

    ¡°The best thing you can do now is to take a bath so we can eat already.¡± I promise.

    ¡°Later I¡¯ll just eat first.¡±C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    ¡°Oh go ahead and sit there first and I¡¯ll just finish our breakfast. ¡°I told him.

    He kissed me on the lips before he sat down at the table.

    Soon after I finished cooking, I served it on the table and then made him a coffee.

    ¡°Are youing home early?¡± I asked him.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll be in the office for a while. I¡¯ll just sign some unfinished documents and then I¡¯ll go home. Get dressed and we¡¯ll leave when I get home.¡±

    ¡°Is it a date?¡± I joke. ¡°As you say so. You¡¯ll need to treat me.¡± I added.

    ¡°You can buy anything you want. I want to make it up to you because I feel like I¡¯ve lost time to you these past few weeks.¡±

    ¡°A so sweet of you. I know you¡¯re busy with work so I understand that. Don¡¯t think about that.¡± I said to him,

    He smiled at me and we ate together.

 Chapter 75

    Thunder POV

    I¡¯m currently in the office, I just signed the papers I left yesterday so I can finish and get home early. I want to be with my wife today. I haven¡¯t been giving her much time these past few weeks because I got busy.

    I really want to tell her the truth but every time I¡¯m with her I get discouraged especially when she answered my questionst night I found it even harder to tell her. I don¡¯t want my wife and son to disappear in my life and I don¡¯t want my family to be ruined.

    I also talked to the person I paid to find out about Jhazzy and her son but he said that he will be able to gather all the information I need next week, I really need to know that truth even if I¡¯m confident that the child is not mine.

    I was in the middle of reading the documents when the door opened and Dark came in. I can tell that my friend changed a lot when Calliyah became his girlfriend. We are not the same as before, havingpetition in the business. Now I can say that we really see each other now as friends and not rivals.

    ¡°What brings you here?¡± I asked him.

    ¡°Nothing, I just visited you because I feel stressed. And because Cain is still in another country, I just came here.¡± he replied.

    ¡°And when did you ever learn not to focus on working that previously you could hardly leave yourpany.¡± I joke.

    ¡°Just now, I realize that it¡¯s hard to be rich, famous and handsome.¡±

    ¡°Crazy! If we were just like before I¡¯m sure you wouldn¡¯te out of your office now thinking about how to stop me and ruin my business.¡± I said.

    ¡°That was in the past and it¡¯s different now. We¡¯re friends so we should just work together, I¡¯m tired of being your rival.¡±

    I threw a small paper at him, even though he is arrogant sometimes he¡¯s still a good friend.

    ¡°Anyway, how¡¯s your problem?¡± he asked.

    He knew about my problem, because Cain wasn¡¯t here so I told him everything. At first he was also surprised by what he found out and could not believe it. They know that I can¡¯t just get pregnant with just any woman, even though Jewel and I didn¡¯t get along well back then, I¡¯m sure I am using protection all the time.

    ¡°The investigator inform me that next week he would give me what I needed as well as the DNA result.¡± I answered.

    ¡°I just hope you fix that before Jewel finds out, I¡¯m sure it will cause a big problem by any chance.¡±

    ¡°And I won¡¯t let that happen, so I really

    need to know that woman¡¯s life as soon as possible. I also need to find out who is the real father of her son.¡± I said seriously.

    ¡°That woman is brave enough and had the courage to tell you that you are the father of her child and she¡¯s not smart to think that you won¡¯t believe it even if he shows you a test. She thinks you are ignorant and stupid I guess.¡±

    ¡°Even if she will hand more DNA to me, I won¡¯t believe it because I know in myself that I don¡¯t have an illegitimate child. Once I find out that woman is ying games on me, she has to face the consequences. I¡¯m just giving what she wants now because of that child. I wonder if the real father knows about it.¡± I said

    Dark did not stay for long and he said goodbye because Jade suddenly called him.

    I also finished signing the papers when suddenly my phone rang and I saw Jhazzy¡¯s name on the screen. What else does this woman need?

    ¡°Hello?¡± I said.

    ¡°Thunder, I need you! We¡¯re here at the hospital right now,e here.¡±

    ¡°What? What happened? At what hospital?¡± I ask.

    After he told me I immediately turned off the call and left my office. It¡¯s only twelve o¡¯clock at noon so it¡¯s still early.

    I quickly drove to the hospital, when I arrived I went straight to the room she said. I caught her sitting on the side of the bed while her son was lying asleep.

    ¡°What happened?¡± I ask.

    She looked at me. ¡°Earlier he said that his stomach hurt so much so I brought him here because he was crying. The doctor said that he didn¡¯t digest well, he was also given medicine andter when he woke up he would need it.¡± she exined.

    ¡°What are you feeding to the child and he didn¡¯t digest well? Next time make sure he eats healthy and safe foods so that this won¡¯t happen again.¡± I said to her,

    ¡°Can you watch him first? When he wakes up, just let him eat there¡¯s food on the table, I¡¯ll just go somewhere for a while.¡±

    I nodded. ¡°Be sure youe back right away because I have something important to do.¡± I told hee and sat in the chair near the child¡¯s bed.

    Jhazzy POV

    Before I got out of the hospital I picked up my phone and took a picture of Thunder looking at my son. I can use this against him. It¡¯s been almost a month since we¡¯ve been with Thunder.

    I¡¯ve been able to think, now is the time for me to start with the n. I¡¯m tired of hiding and I want to be legal not only with Thunder but also in other people¡¯s eyes.

    I knew that when Thunder¡¯s wife found out about my son they would get into trouble and when that happened, Jewel would leave her husband and I would take her ce. I will be Mrs. Alcantara soon.

    I left the hospital permanently and got in my car. I will go to the mall first because I only have something to buy for a while.

    ¡°We¡¯ll soon meet Jewel.¡¯ ¨C She whispered to himself.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

 Chapter 76

    Jewel POV

    I went to the mall first to buy groceries, fortunately I had a driver with me so I didn¡¯t have any trouble with my purchases when he got in the car, I told him to go home first, then I went around first and because it was noon I was just looking for something to eat because I was already a little hungry.

    I chose to just eat at a seafood restaurant, I also don¡¯t know as long as it¡¯s what I like. I looked for a vacant table and then a waiter approached me and took my order. While I was waiting I first picked up my phone to see if my husband had a text.

    Soon a woman approached me. ¡°Hi, are you with someone?¡± She asked.

    I shook my head. ¡°I¡¯m alone.¡± I answered her.

    ¡°Can I share a table with you? There is no vacancy.¡±

    I smiled. ¡°Sure, no problem.¡± I answered and then she sat down.

    As happened to me the waiter also approached

    her and took her order.

    ¡°Do you always eat here?¡± She asked me.

    I put my phone back in my bag before answering her. ¡°Not always but sometimes. I love seafood.¡±

    ¡°Oh that¡¯s why. By the way my name is Jhazzy, I¡¯ve been talking to you but I forgot to introduce myself.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, nice meeting you. I¡¯m Jewel.¡± I said.

    Soon our order arrived so the two of us started eating while chatting. I can¡¯t understand myself but I feel weird here with the woman in front of me, but I don¡¯t want to be a judgmental person, maybe I¡¯m just thinking a lot so that¡¯s why. As we talked for a couple of minutes, I must say she is kind.

    ¡°Try this one, it¡¯s delicious. I often cook this at our house especially when my husband is there.¡± I said, handing her some dessert.

    ¡°Really? Okay I¡¯ll taste it. Oh, are you married? It¡¯s not obvious.¡± She said,C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    I nodded. ¡°Actually we have a son too.¡± I answered.

    ¡°Wow! Happy family.¡±

    I smiled at her. ¡°How about you? Are you married and have a child?¡± I ask.

    ¡°I already have a son, sometimes we spend time with his father. He¡¯s so busy at work that we don¡¯t always spend time together.¡±

    ¡°Is that so? It seems like my husband is very focused on work but he always has time with me and my son.¡± I proudly said.

    ¡°I bet your husband is also handsome because you¡¯re beautiful, good and you don¡¯t get stressed because there might be some woman around that wants him.¡±

    ¡°Oh no, I trust him and I know he won¡¯t have other women. He always tells us how much he loves us and he won¡¯t trade us for anything in this world. So if anyone breaks us, she¡¯ll have a hard time. My husband doesn¡¯t want other people to ruin our family. ¡± I said.

    ¡°Are you okay?¡± I asked her.

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sorry. I just drowned in the juice. Well, you¡¯re right, no wife will allow their husband to be robbed. But we also can¡¯t say that there are others who are rich who are having an affair ormitting a sin.¡±

    ¡°I agree, there are so many people doing it now. Choosing other women than their own family and there are also women who choose to be mistresses.¡± I agree.

    We talked until we finished eating and went around. Even though we have only just met, she is kind and sociable.

    Jhazzy POV

    I didn¡¯t expect Thunder¡¯s wife and I to cross paths, I came one day that destiny was with me. She trusts me so easily. What could Thunder like about her is that she can¡¯t seem to break dishes.

    And stillcent that no one could ruin their family, what she didn¡¯t know was that her oh so called family had already ruined her own husband who is keeping a secret from her. How much more when Thunder found out that I had a connection with his wife.

    After we ate, I invited her to go around first, as they said you have to befriend your enemy so that you know their weakness and that is the first thing to do. Jewel and I need to be close because when Thunder finds out, I can easily make him follow my demands.

    While we were looking at the dress my phone rang so I took it out of my bag to see who it was and see if Thunder had the message.

    Where are you ? Youe back here and I need to leave now.

    I replied to him and then looked for where Jewel was, I needed to say goodbye to her.

    I saw her standing at the end so I walked closer to her, I noticed that she was talking to someone on her phone so I didn¡¯te first.

    ¡®I¡¯m on my way home too, I just went to the grocery store and bought some. All right, I¡¯ll just wait for you here. I love you too. ¡®

    That¡¯s what Jewel said, when she dropped the call then I approached her. ¡°Have you chosen anything yet?¡± I ask.

    ¡°Yes there is, I¡¯ve already paid.¡±

    ¡°Oh good, Ahm Jewel nice to hang out with you but I need to go now. My son is already waiting for me.¡±

    ¡°Is that so? It¡¯s so sad that you¡¯ll not meet my husband. He¡¯ll pick me up now,¡± She said

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, there¡¯s still next time. When you have free time, we¡¯ll hang out again.¡± I said.

    ¡°Sure, no problem! You can call me.¡±

    We walked to the entrance at the same time because that¡¯s where her husband Thunder would pick her up. I know that Thunder won¡¯t see me because he¡¯s still in the hospital now and he¡¯ll only leave when I¡¯m there.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go ahead Jewel, I¡¯m happy to meet a new friend like you.¡± I said smiling.

    ¡°Me too.¡± She replied.

    ¡°See you again some other time.¡± I sighed and got in my car with a smile on my face.

 Chapter 77

    Thunder POV

    I¡¯ve been calling Jhazzy she is not answering it, that woman is really annoying. Dark is with me now he came back after he fetch Calliyah and take her to the condo.

    After a minute the door opened and it spat out the woman I had been waiting for how many hours. ¡°Where did you go? You said you just only need to buy something and will be back here. You know I¡¯m going somewhere else.¡± I said.

    ¡°I just bought something and I bumped into my friend, I¡¯m ashamed to leave her early so we took our lunch together.¡± she exined.

    ¡°I¡¯m leaving, he¡¯s okay now the doctor has already checked him. You can go home when he wakes up. Dark will take you two in your condo.¡± I said and stood up.

    ¡°No need, I have a car with me so don¡¯t bother your friend anymore.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s up to you. I¡¯m leaving because my wife is still waiting. Let¡¯s go bro.¡± I said.

    ¡°Go now Thunder I know Jewel is waiting for you.¡± Dark replied so I just nodded and then finally left the room.

    I quickly left the hospital and got in my car. The mall is right near here where my wife is so I¡¯ll just pick her up there. And since there was no traffic I got there quickly and saw Jewel standing at the entrance of the mall.

    I immediately got out of my car and went to the spot where she was, it looked like she hadn¡¯t seen me yet. When I got close to her I kissed her on the cheek which surprised her.

    She quickly hit me and I justughed. ¡± You didn¡¯t inform me that you were already here.¡± She said while pouting.

    ¡°It looks like you¡¯re out of order and you didn¡¯t notice that I¡¯m already here. What did you buy?¡± I asked her.

    ¡°Here, I haven¡¯t bought much.¡±

    ¡°I thought you were going to have a grocery?¡± I asked again.

    ¡°Yes, I gave it to our driver earlier and I sent him home first. I was just going tomute, I don¡¯t want our driver to wait long.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s why you have a driver so you don¡¯t have tomute.¡± I said.

    ¡°Nah, I just don¡¯t want him to wait for me too long.¡±

    I took the things she bought and put them in the car, while she got in first.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    When I fixed all the things she bought, I drove home. Actually I changed my mind at first. I was nning to take her out on a date but I changed my n.

    ¡°How¡¯s your day?¡± I asked him while driving.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine and I just met a new friend.¡±

    I wrinkled my forehead. ¡°Friend? Who? You just met where?¡± I asked.

    She just nodded in response. ¡°Yes, in the mall.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be too friendly. Some people are not good.¡± I said

    ¡°She¡¯s kind.¡± She¡¯s persistent.

    Sometimes my wife is really overly kind, she suddenly trusts people even if she just met it.

    ¡°Just be careful always.¡± I instructed her and continued driving.

    Dark POV

    I really meant to stay here in the hospital, I really don¡¯t trust this woman. Even though the investigator that Thunder paid to know all the things about this woman didn¡¯t have any result yet, I am confident that my friend is not the real father of this child.

    What is the motive of this woman? Why does she have to pretend that Thunder is the father of her child?

    ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡± She asked me as she noticed that I was looking at her.

    ¡°Is it bad? I¡¯m just looking at the mother of this young Thunder¡¯s son. Maybe I¡¯ll remember you because we¡¯ve been friends since we were kids so we have always been together since then.¡± I said seriously.

    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time and I¡¯m sure when Thunder and I met he wasn¡¯t with his friends.¡±

    ¡°I see, why did you just show up this month? How old is your son.¡± I ask.

    ¡°We¡¯ve been staying abroad for a long time and I don¡¯t want to ruin a family because I know Thunder is already married.¡±

    ¡°So why are you here now? For what? Tell me what your real intentions are? You clearly said you don¡¯t want to ruin the family that Thunder has.¡± I said, I really want to see how far this woman will pretend.

    ¡°Since my son is not a child anymore he¡¯s already looking for his father, I don¡¯t want to deny him about it. I don¡¯t want to keep a secret from my son and I know he deserves to know his father. If you¡¯re worried that I¡¯m going to destroy his family, I¡¯m not.¡±

    ¡°I hope so, because my friend is happy now with his family. They¡¯ve been through a lot so I hope nothing breaks it.¡± I said.

    ¡°Like what I said, I¡¯m not going to ruin the family of your friend. I don¡¯t have a habit of doing that. I¡¯m also not going to mess with her wife¡¯s and son¡¯s life, I just did it for my son who is looking for a father.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s good to know it. I know how much my friend loves his wife and that even if someone ruined it, I still believe they will still fix it.¡± I said and stood up.

    ¡°I have to go now, you said you can go home with your son alone.¡± I added.

    I saw her nod so I went out the door. I know that woman is nning something bad with my friends and I need to know what it is. We need to know who the real father of her child is.

    I finally got out of the hospital and got in my car and because it was gettingte, I was going home.

 Chapter 78

    Jewel POV

    We just got home, I helped my husband in bringing what we bought. I put some of the bags down in our living room first because I felt tired.

    Afterwards my husband approached me and held out his hand which I wondered about. ¡°Why?¡± I asked him and stood up as I lent my hand to him.

    ¡°It¡¯s just¡­¡± that was his only answer and then he covered my eyes.

    ¡°Hey Thunder what is this again?¡± I asked and he justughed.

    He helps me walk to where I don¡¯t know. ¡°Take it easy,¡± he said.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare scare me Thunder.¡±

    ¡°Easy hon.¡± he replied.

    I just let him do whatever he nned and I just followed everything he said. Soon we stopped, I still don¡¯t know where we are in that part of the house because I still don¡¯t see anything.

    After a few seconds he slowly removed his hands that covered me. When I opened my eyes I couldn¡¯t help but gasp at being exposed to me.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    I turned to him who was just smiling at me. ¡°H-how?¡± I eximed.

    ¡°While you were at the mall, I prepared this, it came to my mind because I should just do it here at home so that there won¡¯t be any hassle because you¡¯re also from the mall. You like it?¡± He ask.

    ¡°I love it!¡± I answered aloud.

    ¡°So shall we have our dinner?¡± he said and handed me the rose he was holding first.

    I couldn¡¯t help myself and I quickly hugged him and that¡¯s when I started to cry. I know that Thunder and I often go out, it¡¯s just the two of us, but this is the first time he¡¯s done this.

    ¡°Hey what¡¯s wrong? Did I make you cry?¡± he asked as I let go of his hug.

    I shook quickly. ¡°I¡¯m just really happy.¡± smiling, I replied.

    He led me to the chair and made me sit down. There is also food prepared on the table that looks really prepared.

    We have already started eating, the foods served seem to be in order. Almost all of my favorites are here. I just don¡¯t know who Thunder helped or contacted for this thing even though he¡¯s in the office.

    After we ate he stood up and approached me. ¡°Can I have this dance to my beautiful wife?¡± he said.

    I held out my hand and stood up. And because the music is so romantic we apany it with dancing.

    ¡°Thank you for this night hon.¡± I said softly as we both danced.

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to say thank you, I will do everything for you and our son.¡± he replied.

    I can¡¯t help not being thrilled. I can¡¯t quite imagine that our previously troubled marriage, which was full of pain, would lead to such a happy family.

    I was surprised when he touched my face. ¡°I love you Jewel, always remember that. No matter what happens you and you are the only woman I love and want to be with until old age. Even though I made a mistake then you gave me a chance to make up and I won¡¯t waste it. ¡± he said seriously.

    ¡°I know that. And you¡¯ll always remember that your son and I were the only ones here to support you. And about what happened then, it¡¯s past and it¡¯s over, the important thing is now.¡± I said.

    After saying that he hugged me tightly and I did the same. I hope we¡¯re always like this without any problems.

    We just kept dancing and when we got tired we went back to sitting and talked about what had happened in our lives then and now.

    Jhazzy POV

    My son and I just came home to the condo where we live. Thunder¡¯s friend is really annoying. He obviously doesn¡¯t like me because of what he said earlier. If he wasn¡¯t just Thunder¡¯s friend I wouldn¡¯t hesitate to fight with him.

    But it¡¯s necessary to endure, he still seems suspicious of me and I need to win her trust. I also need to be friends with them.

    And now that Jewel and I are friends let me just see how Thunder will react when he finds out about that thing.

    Honestly, it wasn¡¯t really part of my n to take Jewel¡¯s position in Thunder¡¯s life, but I changed my mind.

    I can¡¯t wait to see Jewel crying in pain. Let¡¯s see what Thunder will do once his wife finds out the truth. Let¡¯s see how they will handle it when their family is gradually broken up.

    ¡®Mommy are you okay?¡¯ My son asked me.

    ¡°Yes baby, mommy is just thinking. Do you still want to eat?¡±

    It shook. ¡°I¡¯m still a full mommy.¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you in pain anymore?¡± I ask him.

    ¡°No more, I¡¯ll go to my room first to take a bath mom.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    I didn¡¯t want to involve my son in my n but this is the only way I know to make my n easier, before his father sees us because I know that he will find us soon.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry baby if I took you away from your father.¡± ¨C I whispered in my mind.

    I just put in the kitchen the other things I bought earlier at the mall, because I also went to the grocery store because our food stock was running low. After fixing everything, I went to my son¡¯s room to see if he had finished taking a bath.

    When I opened the door I saw my son sitting on his bed, it looked like it was already finish because he was already dressed for bed.

    ¡°Are you sure your tummy doesn¡¯t hurt anymore?¡± I ask again.

    ¡°Yes mommy, it doesn¡¯t hurt anymore.¡±

    ¡°Okay, you go to sleep now.¡± I said and then kissed him.

 Chapter 79

    Jewel POV

    The days passed and now it¡¯s Saturday again. I miss my son even though we¡¯ve been with him for the past few days. His grandfather and grandmother borrowed him again.

    My husband is next to me now, who is still asleep, probably with more work in the office. But it¡¯s okay because next week we will go on vacation because that¡¯s what Thunder wants.

    Slowly, I removed his hand that was hugging me and stood up, because I will prepare our breakfast. I¡¯ll just let my husband sleep here because I know he¡¯s tired so it¡¯s better for him to rest.

    I also remember thatst night Jhazzy called me and said hello, I even invited her to visit here at home and she willeter so I need to be able to cook and get ready.

    I left the room and went downstairs, but when I entered the kitchen, one of our maids was already cooking.

    ¡°Good morning ma¡¯am, you woke up too early.¡± She greets me.

    ¡°Because I also fell asleep earlyst night that¡¯s why. I thought you were still asleep so I n to make breakfast.¡± I said

    ¡°I also woke up early, so I cooked. Do you want some coffee Ma¡¯am?¡± she asked.

    I nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll be the one to make it, just continue what you¡¯re doing. I¡¯ll just have coffee first and eatter because I have a visitoring.¡±

    She nodded and continued what she was doing and I took a cup and brewed coffee.

    When I finished I went back to the bedroom because I was going to take a shower. I just brought my coffee to drink. When I entered the room I first put the cup on the mini table and took clothes from the cab.

    I was about to enter the bathroom when my phone rang, I looked at it first and saw if there was a message from Jhazzy.

    Hi Jewel, I¡¯m on my way now.

    I just replied to her and went into the bathroom, I just hastened to take a shower because Jhazzy might have arrived. Finally she is going to meet my husband.

    It only took about five minutes to take a shower ande out of the bathroom. I just put on light makeup and then left the room.

    I just sat in the living room while waiting for Jhazzy to arrive. I turned on the TV first to watch a k-drama. Soon there was a doorbell on the door so I got up to open it.

    Jhazzy smiled at me. ¡°Your house is too big, you really came from a rich family plus the fact that your husband is also a billionaire.¡± Shemented.

    ¡°Same as you, you are also a rich woman and I bet your husband too. Come in.¡± I said to her,

    We went straight to the pool area and I just asked our maid to bring us something to eat. We were in the middle of talking when I saw my husband so I immediately called him and he came to us.

    ¡°Hon, I have a visitor that I told you aboutst time, my friend.¡± I said to him and turned in front of me. ¡°Jhazzy, this is my husband Thunder.¡± my introduction.

    I saw my husband¡¯s shock as he held my hand.

    ¡°Hi Thunder, so you¡¯re Jewel¡¯s husband. Nice meeting you.¡± Jhazzy said to my husband.

    ¡°Is there a problem hon?¡± I asked my Thunder because he still didn¡¯t say a word.

    ¡°No, I¡¯m still sleepy.¡± he answered shortly.

    I said goodbye for a while because I was just going to get something inside, they were left alone in the pool area.

    Thunder POV

    When my wife left because she was going to get something in our room I quickly pulled Jhazzy¡¯s arm. I didn¡¯t know that she was the one my wife was talking about that she had met as a friend. I don¡¯t want them to be close to each other because I don¡¯t trust this woman.

    ¡°Ouch Thunder, it hurts.¡± sheined.

    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± I asked urgently.

    ¡°Your wife just invited me here, I can¡¯t refuse her.¡± Jhazzy replied.

    ¡°Stay away from my wife!¡± I¡¯m seriously said..

    ¡°Why? We¡¯re just friends, you don¡¯t need to worry because I won¡¯t tell her anything if that¡¯s what you¡¯re worried about.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t trust you! I hope this is thest time you will see her.¡± I said.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have the right to tell me what to do or I won¡¯t do Thunder. You can¡¯t take me away from your wife¡¯s life. If I were you, just tell her you have a child with someone else.¡±

    ¡°Shut up! Shut your mouth, you might forget you¡¯re at our house Jhazzy. Just make sure you don¡¯t say anything to my wife or else you will regret it.¡± I angrily said.

    ¡°Are you treating me? Oh I¡¯m scared. You can¡¯t hide it for a long time. Thunder truth wille out. Your wife will know that soon.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re right, the truth wille out, so just wait. I¡¯ll tell my wife and not you.¡± I said and let go of her arm.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± I heard my wife ask, I didn¡¯t notice that she¡¯s back.

    ¡°Nothing Jewel, I just spilled the juice so I got up. Isn¡¯t it Thunder?¡± Jhazzy replied.

    ¡°Oh that¡¯s why. Do you want to change?¡± Jewel asked.

    ¡°No need, and also Jewel I¡¯m leaving now because I need to go somewhere that is important.¡± Jhazzy said.

    ¡°Is that so? All right next time again.¡±

    ¡°Sure,¡± she replied.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take you outside.¡± my wife said.

    ¡°No need hon, the maid will go with her right Jhazzy ?.¡± I said when II saw one of our maids approaching and carrying a tray of our breakfast, I didn¡¯t want them to talk anymore.

    ¡°Of course Jewel, so you and your husband take your breakfast now..¡± Jazzy seconded.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.

    I sat down and so did my wife.

    ¡°Don¡¯t talk to her too much hon.¡± I suddenly promised.

    ¡°Why?¡±

    ¡°I just don¡¯t trust her. Like you said you just met her at the mall, we don¡¯t know where she¡¯s from, if she¡¯s good or bad. We don¡¯t know her background.¡± I exined.

    ¡°She¡¯s kind, hon, no need to worry.¡±

    ¡°Just follow me hon.¡± my persistence.

    ¡°Oh let¡¯s not talk about that and just eat our breakfast.¡±

    We just continued eating. I needed to think of a way to keep my wife away from Jhazzy, I wouldn¡¯t be safe when she was just around Jewel. I will wait another week to find out the full background of that woman.

 Chapter 80

    Jewel POV

    Jhazzy and I became even closer, which is why Thunder and I often quarrel. I can¡¯t understand why he¡¯s hot -blooded with Jhaz, even though I already told him that she¡¯s kind.

    Like yesterday when Jhazzy invited me to go to the mall and when I got home and my husband found out who was with me we fought again. I often asked him why he would just say that he just doesn¡¯t want me to be friends with Jhazzy.

    I once caught them as if they were talking or arguing, I don¡¯t know the reason because when I ask, they will both answer me with nothing.

    Sometimes I think that my husband is bing unreasonable but I don¡¯t want to ignore what he says and feels. So sometimes I just choose to keep quiet so that we don¡¯t quarrel anymore.

    I am currently in the bathroom because I woke up as if my stomach was turning, since a week ago I have often vomited and felt dizzy. I don¡¯t tell my husband anymore because I don¡¯t want him to worry.

    When I felt a little better, I took a bath, so I went to the doctor to check up. I want to know why I feel this way, maybe I¡¯m sick and I don¡¯t know yet. Thunder isn¡¯t here now because Cain went somewhere with them, because that man just came back the other day.

    After I took a bath, I put on a simple dress and put on some make up. I took the small bag that was on the table and put my wallet and phone inside. I have nothing else to bring.

    When I was ready, I left the room and called the driver. I told him to take me to the restaurant and there I would find a taxi to take me to the hospital. I don¡¯t want the driver to take me there because he might tell it to Thunder.

    Ten minutester I also arrived at the restaurant. I don¡¯t go here often because I have a lot of trust in my employees so even without me I know if my business is in good shape. I got off and waited for our driver to leave. Then I hailed a taxi and drove to the hospital.

    ¡°Ma¡¯am I already have your result.¡± The doctor looked at me.

    ¡°What is it doc.? Am I sick?¡± I asked incredulously.

    She smiled at me. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry Mrs. Alcantara because you¡¯re not sick.¡± She replied so I lost the nervousness that I had been feeling before.

    ¡°The truth is that¡¯s why you feel that way especially in the morning because you¡¯re pregnant so it¡¯s only natural.¡± she added that my jaw dropped.

    ¡°W-what doc.? Me?¡± I repeat.

    She nodded. ¡°Yes, you are pregnant Mrs. Alcantara.¡± She confirmed.

    I don¡¯t know what to feel at that time. I didn¡¯t even know that I was carrying another child, I lost my mind that I was dyed.

    The doctor talked to me for a few minutes and then gave me a list of medicines that need to be taken, especially vitamins. She also told me what to eat.

    Soon I said goodbye, as I walked out of the hospital as if I was not on my own. I¡¯m happy because Storm will have a brother or a sister and our family will have a new baby. Thunder will definitely be happy when he finds out.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    While I was waiting for a taxi to go home, my phone rang, I picked it up and read the message from Jhazzy.

    Hey, Jewel, meet me at starbucks.

    I just replied to her and then hailed a taxi and delivered to starbucks where Jhazzy was.

    When I got there I entered immediately and I caught up with Jhazzy who was sitting not far from where I was standing. When she noticed me she waved so I walked closer to her.

    We ordered our food and then she excused herself first to go tofort. While I was waiting for our order Jhazzy¡¯s phone rang left on the table, I looked at it and my eyes widened when I saw my husband¡¯s name calling her.

    Why would Thunder call her? What is the reason?

    I couldn¡¯t help but think so I took Jhazzy¡¯s phone and looked at it, because it was not locked or there was no password I was able to open it freely. I was even more surprised to see that her wallpaper was her son with my husband.

    I looked at his call logs and saw that my husband was almost there. I couldn¡¯t help but think strangely, my brain couldn¡¯t help it because of what I saw.

    Is it possible that my husband and Jhazzy has a something? Is that why Thunder doesn¡¯t want me to be close to her because they¡¯re hiding something? But it is impossible for my husband to fool me because I know he can¡¯t do it and he loves my son and me dearly, but how can he exin what I saw

    When I noticed that Jhazzy was back I quickly put her phone back on the table and pretended that no one had seen. After a few seconds our order arrived.

    ¡°Ahm, Jhaz?¡± I started.

    ¡°Yes?¡± she replied.

    ¡°Where is your son¡¯s father? You told me you have a son right.¡± I asked.

    She drank coffee first and then looked at me. ¡°Ah that? My son¡¯s father is so busy with work, let me introduce him to you next time.¡± smiling, she replied.

    ¡°I will wait for that, you already know my husband so you should introduce yours as well.¡± I said even though the truth was that it was hard for me to know who the father of his son was.

    Soon we also finished eating so we went out and took a walk in the park near the bench.

 Chapter 81

    Jhazzy POV

    I know that Jewel saw my wallpaper, I really meant to change it before we met and left it on our table before I said to her that I will go to thefort room. I waited a few more minutes before returning to our table to make sure she already saw it.

    I know that she will ask about my son¡¯s father and this is also the right time for her to know the truth. My month of waiting is over and I don¡¯t want to prolong it any longer. Actually, Jewel is kind, the only problem is that she became the wife of the man I love so she has to get out of my way.

    After we ate we decided to take a walk first, Jewel had been quiet and knew that she was thinking about what she saw.

    While we were on the bench my phone rang and saw Thunder was calling, a smile shed on my lips, I wouldn¡¯t have a hard time anymore.

    ¡°Jewel just a minute. I need to take this call.¡± I whispered to her and got up and walked away.

    When I was far away, I answered the call. ¡°Yes Thunder?¡± I opened up to him.

    ¡°Where are you?¡±

    ¡°Why are you asking, do you miss me?¡± I joke.

    ¡°Shut the fuck up! Where are you?¡±

    ¡°Chill okay? I¡¯m just going round and round. Why?¡± I ask.

    ¡°Just make sure Jhazzy, don¡¯t do anything we talked about. Stop talking to my wife.¡±

    ¡°Oh your wife? Poor her until now she still doesn¡¯t know what you¡¯re hiding. Don¡¯t worry your secret is safe with me Thunder, but when she finds out the truth I¡¯ll be out there. You have all the time to tell her the truth but you didn¡¯t do it. ¡± I said and dropped the call.

    After that I will go back to where Jewel but to my surprise I saw her looking at me seriously. ¡°Jewel ..¡±.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you and my husband?¡± she asked directly, I was not surprised there and I had already prepared for this matter.

    ¡°Ah, Nothing, it¡¯s better if you ask your husband.¡± I said

    ¡°I don¡¯t have time to y around Jhazzy! Answer my question.¡±

    ¡°I told you to ask Thunder and not me.¡± I said..

    ¡°Why should I ask my husband if you are already here.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to interfere with the both of you because I also treated you as my friend and I don¡¯t want to hurt you but you¡¯re too insistent.¡± I said.

    ¡°Like what you were asking earlier, who is the father of my son. The answer is your husband Thunder, that¡¯s why he often leaves or isn¡¯t in the office because he¡¯s in my condo to see us. Happy now?¡± I added.

    Jewel POV

    I almost fell to my feet when I heard what Jhazzy said, I can¡¯t quite imagine that we would have a family like this. Tears welled up in my eyes.

    ¡°N-no, this can¡¯t be. T-thunder can¡¯t do that to us. He won¡¯t keep it a secret from me.¡± I said.

    ¡°You want to know the truth, right? Well, that¡¯s the truth Jewel. Your husband has a child with me, she got someone else pregnant.¡± she said boldly.

    My palm quicklynded on her cheek.

    ¡°You¡¯re a bitch! You made me look like a fool, that¡¯s why you befriended me and Thunder doesn¡¯t want me toe near you because you¡¯re hiding something from me!¡± I shouted angrily.

    ¡°Don¡¯t me me! Your husband doesn¡¯t want to tell you the truth. How painful is it to know that Thunder has an illegitimate child? I felt the same way when he didn¡¯t recognize our child at first! How long I have waited for this opportunity Jewel you know that! I endured the pain to hide my son from other people while you and your son are happy! ¡±

    ¡°You are so desperate Jhazy, I trusted you and considered you a friend but I don¡¯t know that you have other ns. I didn¡¯t think you would be the rift in our family. Karma strikes big time!¡± I spoke sharply and ran away.

    I quickly hailed a taxi and went home. I just cried crying while in the taxi. I never thought we would reach this point, that Thunder would be able to fool me and worst of all he would have another child.

    I feel like they both yed with my feelings, because they knew they were hiding something from me but acting in front of me as an angel. They betrayed me!

    When I got home and I quickly went to our room, I just informed the taxi driver to wait for me outside. I could not afford to stay here at home for long. I do not know if I can still trust my husband.

    I took my big bag and put on clothes and because I was pregnant I could not lift heavy things. I acted fast because Thunder might have caught me.

    When I finished tidying up I sat on the bed for a while, I looked at the whole room. We had so many happy memories in this room, I stared at the photos of us hanging on the wall. I smiled bitterly because those happy shots will be just memories.

    I didn¡¯t stay there long because the pain I was feeling was only getting worse, I couldn¡¯t ept that my husband had another child and not just Storm. I grabbed the ring on my finger and slowly removed it.

    After I removed it I put it on the mini table we had in the bedroom. I also wrote a letter for my Thunder but I didn¡¯t say anything about my pregnancy.

    After that I left because I was hurt. I thought theplete family I wish would happen because we already have a child. You can call me a coward because I¡¯m leaving and I won¡¯t fight even if I¡¯m the legal wife. It¡¯s just me. I am hurting now so I can¡¯t think what is right now and I don¡¯t want to risk the life of my future child.

    My pregnancy is difficult and I don¡¯t want our future child to be in danger just because of what is happening to us now. I¡¯m leaving but this does not mean that I¡¯m giving up and I¡¯m going to let go of the family I have, I just can¡¯t face my husband in this situation right now, but I¡¯ll be back.

    I grabbed my bag and went out, with every step I took it was the heaviness of my chest. I can¡¯t imagine that the day wille when I will leave this house again.

 Chapter 82

    Dark POV

    I went to Starbucks to buy coffee. I¡¯m going to Thunder¡¯s office today because we have something to talk about and he mentioned to me that maybe tomorrow he will find out the truth about the investigation into Jhazzy.

    When I got my order I immediately got out and got in my car, but before I could leave I saw Jewel boarding a taxi and next to her was Jhazzy smiling. I don¡¯t know but I feel nervous now.

    I took my phone to call Thunder but he didn¡¯t answer so I just started my car and drove to hispany. And since it was not far from where I was I got there quickly. I just parked and went straight to the entrance.

    I didn¡¯t bother to ask his secretary and I went straight to my friend¡¯s office. When I entered I saw him looking seriously at hisptop and didn¡¯t seem to notice my presence.

    ¡°Too busy.¡± I said and then it just looked at me.

    ¡°I¡¯m just reading something, why are you here so early?¡± he asked.

    ¡°Because I finished what I needed to sign at the office so I left early. By the way bro, where is Jewel?¡± I ask.

    He looked at me. ¡°Earlier when I left he was at home, I just don¡¯t know now if she went to the restaurant.¡±

    ¡°I saw her earlier when I passed the coffee shop. She looks like she¡¯s on her way home, but she and Jhazzy seem to be together.¡± I honestly said point out.

    ¡°What? I talked to Jhazzy earlier and she said she was just going round, it¡¯s impossible for her to be with my wife because she didn¡¯t mention that to me.¡±

    ¡°Trust me bro, two of my eyes saw it. Looks like you need to talk to Jewel, I really feel different now.¡± I said..N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    I saw that he picked up his phone and looked like he was calling Jewel but it was obvious on her face that his wife was not answering.

    ¡°Why?¡± I ask.

    ¡°She¡¯s not answering. Shit!¡± he said.

    He wiped his face, soon after he closed hisptop. ¡°I need to go home, I can¡¯t be bothered until I know if that woman said something to my wife,¡± he said.

    ¡°I¡¯lle with you.¡± I said and he nodded.

    Thunder drives fast so sometimes I can hardly reach him, I just hope I¡¯m wrong. I suspect Jhazzy hasn¡¯t told Jewel anything yet because it¡¯s a big problem by chance.

    When we arrived at their house, Thunder quickly got out of his car so I just followed him and went inside. He called Jewel¡¯s name several times but no one answered so even I helped him find it. He went upstairs to see if his wife was in their room.

    I could see the frustration on his face as it came down.

    ¡°Is she in the room?¡± I ask.

    He shook his head and just sat on the sofa while bowing.

    ¡°Bro what happened?¡± I asked again.

    ¡°She¡¯s gone, she left me.¡± it¡¯s almost a hoarse utterance.

    ¡°W-what?¡± I could hardly believe what he said.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t see Jewel in the room, only this ring and the letter was there. She knew everything Dark.¡±

    I don¡¯t know what to say, I wish I had just followed Jewel earlier when I saw her in case I stopped her from leaving.

    Thunder POV

    When Dark told me that he had seen Jewel and Jhazzy I was even more nervous since my wife didn¡¯t answer my calls, so I hurried home. I¡¯d rather be sure but I was just depressed when I didn¡¯t get home.

    I only saw a letter and a ring lying on the mini table of our room.

    Thunder,

    Maybe by the time you read this I¡¯m already left. I already know the truth thatI you have a child with another woman, I just can¡¯t quite imagine that you could keep this thing from me. It hurts knowing that my husband had an illegitimate child but what hurts more is when you didn¡¯t tell it to me and choose to keep it.

    I want to fight for the family we have but right now I don¡¯t know how to do it because I¡¯m in so much pain. I love you, I love you so much that it hurts like hell. I hope you just choose to tell it to me for the very time so that I don¡¯t look like a fool in front of you, I feel like you and Jhazzy yed me, I don¡¯t know that the two of you had a rtionship in the past or if she is one of your fling, I¡¯m not a selfish person and I will let you to have an illegitimate child because I know that the child is a blessing and not part of the mistake of his parents.

    We have been through so many challenges since then and I thought we were going to have a normal and happy family, but it looks like one lie will ruin it. You said there was no secret but what did you do? How many times have I asked you if there is a problem or something you want to say because I have long noticed that you are anxious. I¡¯m your wife so I feel that.

    At first I couldn¡¯t figure out what was the reason why you were angry to Jhazzy and why you didn¡¯t want me to be close or friend to her and now I already know the answer I didn¡¯t get from you.

    I left not because I gave up , I left because I was hurt. I can¡¯t face you and even more I can¡¯t fool my son that I¡¯m okay, we¡¯re okay in front of him. I need space, I need peace of mind. I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll be okay, when the pain will heal. I hope you take care of Storm and don¡¯t leave him alone. Even if you have a child with someone else, I hope you will still love our child and stand up for your child with someone else.

    Take care of yourself. I love you so much but it hurts. Goodbye!

    ¨C Jewel

    I stand up and put the letter and ring in my pocket. I¡¯m gonna face the woman who ruined us.

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Dark asked.

    ¡°I¡¯m just going to that woman! I will show her who Thunder Alcantara he¡¯s messing with.¡± I seriously said

    ¡°Bro calm down first, I suggest you not to do it now because she¡¯s definitely with his child. It will affect the child if he sees that you two are fighting.¡± Dark waved at me.

    ¡°And what do you want me to do, huh? Just let that woman ruin my family?¡± I angrily said.

    ¡°All I¡¯m saying is you need to calm down first, don¡¯t let yourself do something bad. Just wait first maybe Jewel wille home too.¡±

    I just blew my hair out of the extreme frustration I feel. I need Jewel in my life!

 Chapter 83

    Thunder POV

    Dark and I were in that position when one of our maids approached us. ¡°Sir, someone is looking for you.¡± She said politely.

    I immediately turned to the person behind her and saw the private investigator who I paid to find out everything about Jhazzy.

    ¡°Good afternoon Sir, I called you many times but you didn¡¯t answer so I went to your office but your secretary said go home. So I just went there.¡±

    ¡°Is there any news on what I¡¯m asking you to do?¡± I asked as we sat down.

    He handed me the envelope. ¡°There¡¯s something about Jhazzy Villegas and the DNA result is also included Sir.¡±

    I quickly picked it up and opened it, when I read what was written on it my hands began to tremble with rage. I can really kill that woman!

    ¡°This is bullshit! I knew it! That woman is really a liar!¡± I shouted angrily. Dark took the paper I was holding and read its contents.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just put the payment in your bank ount. Thank you for your help.¡± I said to the private investigator and soon after, he also said goodbye.

    Quickly, I took the envelope and left the house while Dark was just following me. I couldn¡¯t miss what that woman did to my family, because of her my wife left with resentment towards me.

    I drove fast while my friend was just quiet, not long after we arrived at the condo where Jhazyy lives, I¡¯ve been very close to her before and I won¡¯t regret hurting her now.

    I quickly got out of the car and went straight inside the building and hit the elevator so we could get on right away.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    When the elevator signaled that we had reached the floor where Jhazzy¡¯s unit was, I quickly got out and almost ran to the unit.

    When I was in front of the door I knocked immediately, I almost wanted to break down the door. It immediately opened and Jhazzy¡¯s smiling face appeared to me.

    ¡°T-thunder, you didn¡¯t say you wereing.¡± She said surprisingly.

    I immediately strangled her because I was so close to her . ¡°You bitch! You ruined my family! And because of you my wife is missing now!¡±

    ¡°L-let me go T-thunder, I¡¯m hurting.¡± She said,

    ¡°You¡¯re really going to get hurt, woman! You¡¯re a liar! Do you think I can¡¯t find out the truth? ¡± I shouted at her and violently released her.

    She almost chased after her breath while holding onto her neck. ¡°What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with your wife leaving!

    ¡°Nothing? Really nothing? Dark saw you together before my wife disappeared so don¡¯t make a fool of me Jhazzy! Your bullshitness is over because I already know the truth!¡± I shouted.

    ¡°W-what do you mean?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not the father of your son!¡± I angrily said.

    ¡°W-what? You¡¯ve already seen the DNA, right? Why don¡¯t you just ept it? Are you that heartless that you will reject even your own child? I know you have a family and I¡¯m not forcing you to be with us or choose us too. All I want is that my son will know the existence of his father.¡±

    And because I couldn¡¯t control my anger, I pped her hard. I threw her the envelope given to me by the one I paid for.

    She was almost sick of seeing its contents.

    ¡°T-thunder I can exin, what¡¯s in this envelope is totally wrong!.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t insist on it or I will put you in jail! I know that the father of your son is Dane and he is my cousin and I already called him to let him know the truth.¡± I said

    ¡°No! That¡¯s not true.¡± She was still struggling so I approached her and squeezed her chin.

    ¡°It¡¯s toote for you to lie!¡± I shouted and Dark immediately stopped me.

    Later, the door opened and the cousin spat if it was Dane. So I let Jhazzy go because I might even kill her.

    ¡°D-dane.¡± he was afraid to say the name of my cousin who was in front of him now,

    ¡°How dare you hide my son? And you n to destroy the family of my cousin you bitch!!¡± Dane said and pped her.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it enough for you to run away with my son and let my cousin take over? You desperate woman! You messed with the wrong person cause you didn¡¯t know that Thunder is my cousin. I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯ll what damage you¡¯ve done to our family!¡± Dane added.

    Then he looked at me. ¡°Thunder sorry for what this woman did to you and Jewel, I didn¡¯t know that this woman is here in the Philippines. I¡¯ll take care of her, find Jewel, your wife is more important than this woman . ¡± he said to me.

    I just nodded at what Dane said even though the truth is that I still want to hurt this woman but because my cousin told me that he will take care of it, I will let him.

    I said goodbye and left, Dark was still following me. Luckily he was with me because otherwise I could kill that woman!.

    Dark and I quickly got in my car and headed back home. He just offered to drive because he knew I wasn¡¯t okay. I¡¯m not really going to be okay as long as I don¡¯t know where my husband is, I can¡¯t help but see him because our son will definitely find him.

 Chapter 84

    Jewel POV

    I just arrived in Baguio, even though my eyes were still swollen, I really tried to leave and get away from my husband¡¯s house. I don¡¯t know where I¡¯m going as long as I can find something that can be rented here is fine with me.

    I want to be able to think first because right now my mind is confused and I want peace of mind. As I was taking a walk I bumped into a woman with luggage. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t notice you.¡± I apologize.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay dear, I didn¡¯t notice you either because I was not looking either . Looks like you¡¯re looking for someone or something.¡± She asked me.

    I scratched my head. ¡°Ah eh, there it is, I¡¯m looking for a ce to rent.¡± I answered.

    ¡°Are you new to this ce?¡±

    ¡°Yes.¡± I answered

    ¡°You cane with me, there¡¯s still a vacant room in my house there but it¡¯s not big and if you want there¡¯s a hotel in the other barangay.¡±

    ¡°Do you really have a vacancy? That¡¯s okay. I¡¯m not looking for a big one, the important thing is I have a ce to stay.¡± I said.

    ¡°Then you cane with me, so that I can show you to decide if you will stay or find another,¡±

    ¡°Do you have a son or daughter?¡± I ask.

    ¡°She¡¯s not my real child, she had an ident before and my husband saw her so he helped her. Andter we decided to just adopt her and treat her like a real child.¡±

    I nodded to the old woman and went with her because she was also going home. Not far from their house where we were, we just rode a tricycle to get home immediately.

    ¡°Come inside Jewel, don¡¯t be shy.¡± She said, in fact their house is nice and clean. She is not as big as our house but it is enough for one family.

    ¡°Where is your husband, granny?¡± I asked because I remember she mentioned earlier that she had a husband,

    She smiled at me. ¡°He died a year ago so Marga and I are the only ones together now.¡± I was momentarily stunned by the name she mentioned.

    ¡°Oh do you have a problem?¡± she asked me when she had noticed my reaction.

    ¡°Nothing, I just remembered the name you mentioned. I also have an acquaintance.¡± I answered.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    ¡°Ah, is that so? Where is she now?¡±

    I suddenly felt sad. ¡°She¡¯s dead, I was with her in an ident and I was the only one who survived.¡± I said.

    ¡°That¡¯s why your face is so sad when I mention her name. Anyway, I just feel at home here. I¡¯ll just cook what we can eat and soon Marga will be here too, maybe she is just wandering around . ¡±

    I nodded and went straight to the room where Granny pointed out so that I could fix my things as well. I didn¡¯t bring much, just enough for me. I can buy some anytime if I want..

    I just took out a bag I was carrying my clothes and arranged in the cab and then Iy down on the bed first because I felt drowsy.

    I just woke up when I heard a knock on my door so I woke up to open it.

    ¡°Hey sis we will eat ¡ª¡± the woman in front of me stopped in what she would say when she saw me and I also reacted the same way when I saw her.

    I never thought I would see her alive because I thought she was long dead.

    ¡°Margaaa.¡± I said softly.

    ¡°Big sister Jewel.¡± almost tearful tears of her promise.

    I quickly hugged her tightly. Knowing that we hadn¡¯t been able to talk properly before when the ident happened and since we thought she was already dead I can¡¯t quite imagine seeing her now.

    ¡°Oh kids, what¡¯s going on with you there? I ordered Marga to call that so we can eat already.¡± Granny suddenly gasped.

    I immediately told her that what I had told her that I knew and Marga who is with us now is the same. She could hardly believe that the day woulde when Marga would find one of her acquaintances because she was ashamed to approach her parents so she chose to stay here with Granny.

    We ate together while chatting. And then Granny said that she would take care of it and Marga and I would just talk because she knew we still had things to talk about. So the two of us just went to the veranda where my beautiful view was overlooking.

    ¡°How are you?¡± I asked her..

    ¡°I¡¯m totally fine.¡± she replied smiling.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were just here, I thought you died in the ident.¡± I said.

    ¡°That¡¯s also what I thought, it¡¯s just a weed. Maybe I really didn¡¯t die, but I believe more that my brother Daven saved me, he was my guardian angel at that time. That¡¯s all I lost one of my one feet , but it¡¯s okay the important thing is I¡¯m alive. ¡± she said sadly.

    ¡°What did the doctor say? You can still walk, can¡¯t you? You can still put metal to serve as one of your legs.¡± I suggested.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay big sister, of course I can but I didn¡¯t continue because it took too much money for that to happen.¡±

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you let your parents know you were alive? They suffered a lot when they found out you were dead.¡± I said..

    She smiled bitterly. ¡°I didn¡¯t do it sister because I¡¯m ashamed of them, of all the things I¡¯ve done that ruin our family¡¯s name. I don¡¯t know how to face them anymore.¡±

    ¡°You know that aunt and uncle love you very much and they will ept you no matter what you have done wrong because you are their child. You are the only one they have.¡± my insistence.

    ¡°I hope it¡¯s that easy, sister, but I believe that we will alsoe at that time when I will face them again and apologize. What about you, why are you here? Where is Kuya Thunder and Storm?¡±

    I bowed down because of her question, less than a dayter I missed my husband and child but I can¡¯t go back there. I will tell Marga what happened and why I ended up here.

 Chapter 85

    Margaux POV

    I never thought that the day woulde when me and Jewel would meet again, I never thought she would go wherever I was. I have been living in Granny for a long time, when I thought I was going to die I was lucky to survive before the car exploded. I lost consciousness so I did not know what happened and when I woke up I was in the hospital and there I met Tatang who saved me, he was Granny¡¯s husband.

    They were there when I was still recovering and they took me in but Tatang died due to an ident and Granny and I were left alone. I am very grateful to them, if it wasn¡¯t for them I might have died forever .

    I just listened to Ate Jewel¡¯s story and I could feel the pain she was feeling, I knew I was one of the ones who tortured her before and I can say that she didn¡¯t deserve to be hurt like this because she was a kind person. When she finished telling the story, I hugged her tightly because she was already crying. I also found out that she was pregnant now.

    ¡°Stop crying big sister, it¡¯s not healthy for the baby. You have to be strong because there is still a family waiting for you.¡± I said while stroking her back.

    I just let her cry first so that she could somehow release her resentment, after a few minutes she stopped and I could only hear sobs from her.

    ¡°But sister, won¡¯t you talk to older Kuya Thunder first? Maybe he can exin that or maybe he has a reason why he didn¡¯t tell you.¡± I said..

    ¡°I don¡¯t know if I can face him right now, I can¡¯tI think properly now Marga, is it still fresh in my mind what I know and not easy to ept it.¡±

    ¡°I get your point sister, I know that it¡¯s not easy what you¡¯re going through now, especially since you¡¯re going to have a child again. Just let yourself be able to think clearly first and when you¡¯re ready, face your husband. I know you¡¯re brave and you won¡¯t let your family be ruined and I believe your husband won¡¯t allow it also to happen. Fight for what belongs to you because you are the wife and even if he really has a child with someone else it will not change that you are the legal one. ¡± my long statement.

    She smiled at me, knowing that I had somehow eased her heart. This is the only way I can make up for her.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go inside sister, it¡¯s already night. You also need to rest because you also traveled far earlier, it¡¯s a good thing Granny saw you.¡± I said..

    ¡°Destiny that maybe she¡¯s the one I¡¯ll bump into because there¡¯s a reason and that¡¯s you.¡± she promised.

    We went inside together so that we could both rest because it was already night. I apanied her to her room until she fell asleep, then I went out and entered my own room.

    As Iy on my bed I couldn¡¯t help but think, who could be the woman that Kuya Thunder gave birth to? In fact, it will be vague because he loves his wife very much. Isn¡¯t that woman just pretending?

    I want to call Kuya Thunder to let him know where his husband is but I don¡¯t want to take the lead because Jewel might need to think first. It¡¯s better that she¡¯s here because she has someone with her and we¡¯ll take care of her even if that¡¯s all I can do to her after what I did to them.

    FASTFORWARD

    A week has passed since I met Ate Jewel and we stay in the same house. I have witnessed how she is having a hard time because she cries almost every night and I can see that she misses her husband and child.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    I had just finished bathing and getting dressed because I was going to go with her for a check up. When I got out of the room I caught up with Granny and they were talking happily.

    ¡°Oh there you are daughter,e and eat so that Jewel and you can leave so you can go back early.¡± Granny¡¯s promise.

    I immediately sat down next to Ate Jewel and started eating, it didn¡¯t take long for us to finish together so we left so it wouldn¡¯t be too hot outside.

    The OB clinic is close to us so we will only do one ride, we just need to be early because there might be a lot of people.

    When we got there we were lucky because we were the first so we were able to check up quickly. We just talked to Ate Jewel and gave her medicine prescriptions and a list of foods she needed to eat again.

    Then we bought the medicines there because they had a store instead of going to the pharmacy. I thought we were going home but my sister invited me to go through the mall first to go around and then we would just buy our food there so that Nanang wouldn¡¯t have to cook anymore.

    We are here now in a restaurant because Ate wants to eat here, maybe her stomach is looking for the food that is here. I just stared at her while eating, the swelling of her eyes obvious.

    ¡°In a few months, your stomach will be visible.¡± I said.

    ¡°Yeah, it looks like my child is greedy because I eat too much food. It¡¯s embarrassing for Granny.¡± She replied.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be shy. Granny is happy with what she¡¯s doing and she wants to take care of you too.¡± I insist.

    ¡°How about you? What¡¯s your n?¡±

    I stopped eating because of her question. ¡°If you and your husband will be okay I¡¯ll face my parents.¡±

    She smiled at me. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re able to think, they¡¯ll be happy when they find out that you¡¯re alive and you can also bring Granny.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s also my n big sister, when I go back to our house I¡¯ll take Nanang with me because I don¡¯t want to leave her alone here especially since she has no partner in life.¡± I said.

    We just continued eating and when we finished we just went around and went home.

 Chapter 86

    Thunder POV

    I¡¯m here now in front of Jewel¡¯s parents, after a week that my husband still hasn¡¯te back and I still can¡¯t find her, I already told them what happened. I want to leave Storm with them first because I will be the one to look for Jewel.

    ¡°It¡¯s been a week since my daughter went missing and you just informed us today?¡± Papa angrily said, Jewel¡¯s father.

    ¡°I thought Jewel woulde back to Pa but I¡¯m looking for her too and now I¡¯m here to ask if you can take care of our son first because I¡¯ll be the one to look for my wife.¡± I said.

    ¡°Be sure you can bring my daughter back Thunder otherwise you won¡¯t be able to be with them anymore.¡± Jewel¡¯s Dad seriously said.

    Mama quickly stroked her husband¡¯s back. ¡°Calm down honey, you heard Thunder said that he will look for our daughter, he won¡¯t let his family get into trouble again. It¡¯s only natural for a couple to have something. misunderstanding.¡±

    After Mama said that she turned to me. ¡°Don¡¯t worry son and we will take care of your child, find your wife and talk carefully about whatever problem you have.¡±

    I nodded. ¡°Thank you Ma, I promise I will find Jewel and bring her back to us.¡±

    I didn¡¯t stay long either and I said goodbye, because I¡¯m still going to the office because I still have things to finish so that even if I lose a few days, there will be no job left for thepany.

    I don¡¯t know where my wife went because even Calliyah didn¡¯t know anything, she just knew recently when I asked her. And I know that Dark and Calliyah aren¡¯t okay now because she also found out that Dark also knows about Jhazzy. But the only thing I¡¯m sure of is that she didn¡¯t go abroad because she didn¡¯t have a record at the airport.

    When I entered my office I caught up with Cain and Monique who were there. What is this couple doing here?

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± I ask.

    ¡°We miss you bro.¡± Cain promised.

    ¡°Idiot!¡± I shouted at him.

    ¡°We heard what happened Thun, how are you? Do you know where Jewel is?¡± Monique asked.

    I just shook my head. ¡°I¡¯ll just fool myself when I say I¡¯m okay even though the truth is not. Until now I still don¡¯t know where my wife is.¡± I honestly said.

    ¡°Jewel is also good at hiding, isn¡¯t she?¡± Cain said.

    ¡°That woman should really be med for that! She¡¯s a bitch and a slut!¡± annoyed Monique¡¯s tongue.

    ¡°It¡¯s really like that as long as you¡¯re a handsome and rich babe, so don¡¯t be surprised if one day someone pretends to be my son.¡± Cain answered.

    Monique scolded him. ¡°What¡¯s the news about Jhazzy?¡± She asked me.

    ¡°Dane will take care of her, after all he is the real father of that child. I just let him fix it because he is my cousin, if it wasn¡¯t for him I wouldn¡¯t hesitate to imprison that woman. ¡± I said angrily.

    I just let the two of them talk and I went straight to my table to finish my work,ter I heard Monique¡¯s voice again.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    ¡°Thun we will order our food, do you want to add anything else to the purchase?¡±

    ¡°Nothing, it¡¯s up to you.¡± I answered.

    Jhazzy, on the other hand, begs her son¡¯s father, because he ns to take him away from her because of her foolishness.

    Jhazzy POV

    ¡°Please Dane, I¡¯m begging you, don¡¯t do this to me.¡± crying, I begged the man in front of me.

    ¡°Do you think it¡¯s that easy? You ruined my cousin¡¯s family, aren¡¯t you ashamed?¡± he growled angrily at me.

    ¡°I just gave everything to you but I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll ever end up like this,¡± he added.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, give me one more chance and I will change. I will also apologize to them.¡± I said.

    ¡°How many times have I given you Jhaz! Just thank me because you are still free now

    otherwise Thunder will surely imprison you.¡± I can see the grimace on his face, it¡¯s all my fault.

    He took a deep breath. I know Dane has a lot of patience but when he is angry it changes.

    ¡°You¡¯d better apologize to them, especially to Jewel when shees back, because it¡¯s your fault. That woman was kind to you when she didn¡¯t know that you would be the rift in her rtionship with my cousin. And thene with me to Canada if you want to be with your son. ¡°he said to me.

    ¡°Yes Dane, I¡¯lle with you and I won¡¯t repeat what I did.¡± I promise him.

    He turned around after I said that so I just fell on the floor, I love Dane and know he loves me too. I just don¡¯t know why that thing crossed my mind. I know something happened to us back then when Dane and I hadn¡¯t met, I was one of Thunder¡¯s flings and I admitted that I loved him even though I knew she had a wife. I just didn¡¯t know that he is Dane¡¯s cousin.

    I know that even if Dane agreed to go with him back to Canada I would have a hard time regaining his love and trust because I had broken it, but I would do everything just to bring it back and correct the mistakes I had made. I shouldn¡¯t have ruined the family if I had one too.

 Chapter 87

    Margaux POV

    I was just standing here on the veranda side where big sister Jewel was sitting, I could see the sadness and longing on her face. Often she is just like this every day or maybe just in the room. I can¡¯t see the happy woman I know.

    I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m going to do it right even though I said before that I didn¡¯t want Jewel to take the lead in her decision, but from what I can see, it looks like she needs Kuya Thunder by her side.

    The other day I took his number from Ate Jewel¡¯s phone when I borrowed it and I said I would text my friend because I don¡¯t have a load but the truth is I just took her husband¡¯s number so that I could talk to him easily. I know it will surprise him when he finds out I¡¯m still alive but that¡¯s not what matters right now if it wasn¡¯t for Jewel.

    I went back to my room and picked up my phone. I will call Kuya Thunder to let him know where Ate is, they need to be able to talk and so they can get along. I stared at my phone a few more times before pressing the call and the person on the other line answered it quickly.

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°Ahm, big brother Thunder.¡± I said..

    ¡°Who are you? And why are you calling?¡±

    ¡°This is Margaux.¡± my introduction.

    The other line stopped for a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t fool me, Margaux has been dead for a long time!¡± it growls at me.

    ¡°I know it¡¯s hard to believe but I¡¯m really alive and I know where your wife is.¡± I said it directly.

    ¡°Where are you?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s just meet at Sm Baguio and I¡¯ll take you to where he is.¡±

    ¡°Just make sure you don¡¯t fool me because I will find you and put you in jail when I don¡¯t see my wife.¡± He threatened me and dropped the call.

    Jewel¡¯s husband is really hot- tempered and scary, it¡¯s good and she can endure him. At least they love each other. I don¡¯t know if I did it right but this is the only thing I thought so that Jewel wouldn¡¯t be sad and cry anymore.

    I got up to change my clothes because I finished taking a bath earlier. I don¡¯t want to wait for Thunder for a long time because I¡¯m sure he¡¯sing here now. So I needed to go.

    While I wasbing, Ate Jewel suddenly entered.

    ¡°Are you leaving?¡± She asked me.

    ¡°Yes big sister, I¡¯m just going to meet someone but I¡¯ll be right back.¡± I answered.

    ¡°Is that so? Be careful and don¡¯t go homete. You know it is full of bad people nowadays.¡± She instructed me.

    I smiled at her. ¡°I won¡¯t be a long sister and I¡¯ll go home right away.¡± I said.

    Thunder POV

    I just hung up my phone after receiving a call from Marga. I didn¡¯t think she was still alive and even said that she knew where my wife was. I just hope it¡¯s true that she knows because if she doesn¡¯t I will really put her in prison.

    I wasted no more time and left the office, I just told my secretary that I was going somewhere important and I didn¡¯t want to be disturbed.

    I quickly got in my car and drove to where he told me, I don¡¯t know how she found out where Jewel was but it didn¡¯t matter as long as the important thing was that I could see my wife.

    While I was driving my phone suddenly rang and I saw if Cain was calling so I answered it immediately.

    ¡°Why?¡± I ask.

    ¡°Dark invited us to the bar, he said he couldn¡¯t contact you.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t go now, I need to talk to Jewel.¡± I said.

    ¡°W-what? You already know where he is?¡±

    ¡°Yes and I¡¯m going there now.¡± I answered.

    ¡°Well, good luck bro. I just hope you don¡¯t have a hard time getting her back.¡± heughed.

    I immediately turned off the call and focused on driving, it looks like Dark and Calliyah haven¡¯t gotten along yet.

    My trip also took almost a few hours and it wasn¡¯t a joke because it was tiring and painful to the body but it wasn¡¯t there if I could see my husband in return.

    When I arrived in SM Baguio, I immediately looked for the cafe that Marga told me about. All I knew was that she was here because she texted me.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    When I saw what she was saying, I quickly went in there. I had no trouble finding her because I knew her face. I walked closer to her while she was smiling looking at me, when I got close to her I noticed that she was in a wheelchair

    ¡°Hi Thunder, it¡¯s good that you arrived.¡± She greets me.

    ¡°What happened to you?¡± I ask her.

    ¡°Ah, this? It¡¯s because of the ident that happened to me and your wife before, my foot got stuck in the car so this is what happened, it¡¯s a good thing I survived.¡± she exined.

    I sat in the empty seat in front of her. We ordered food first because I was already feeling hungry.

    ¡°Maybe you¡¯re wondering why I know where your wife is.¡± her introduction.

    ¡°Yeah, I can¡¯t quite imagine you being able to tell me where she is.¡± I promise.

    ¡°The one who took care of me saw her looking for a ce to rent so Granny just offered to let her live with us.¡±

    ¡°So you¡¯re at home together?¡± I ask.

    ¡°Yes we are together, I really don¡¯t want to let you know that Ate and I are together because I don¡¯t want to lead her anymore but I know she¡¯s having a hard time. She cries almost every day so I decided to call you, I know you¡¯re all he needs. She doesn¡¯t even know you¡¯re the one I¡¯m going to meet now. ¡±

    ¡°Thank you so much Marga for epting my wife and taking care of her.¡± I said.

    ¡°No need to thank me big brother, it is mypensation for the pain I caused her and your family.¡±

    Soon our order arrived so we started eating so we could leave immediately and not catch up at night on the road.

 Chapter 88

    Margaux POV

    Kuya Thunder and I are here now outside the gate. I¡¯m nervous that Ate Jewel might be angry with me but I can¡¯t do anything because we¡¯re here now. I just hope my interference doesn¡¯t hurt them.

    I went in first and left Kuya outside to wait for my signal. It was as if Granny and Jewel were sitting in the living room.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.

    ¡°Oh Marga, you¡¯re here. I thought you¡¯de homete.¡± Granny said.

    ¡± I just went somewhere. The truth is that I have someone with me now.¡± I said.

    ¡°Who? Is he your boyfriend? .¡± Ate Jewel teases me, if you only knew that your husband was there.

    ¡°Where? Why don¡¯t you let your visitor in?¡± Granny said.

    ¡°Yes, wait and I¡¯ll call him.¡± embarrassed I nodded and walked back outside.

    I saw Kuya Thunder just silent while waiting for me.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡± I said to him,

    He nodded and we entered at the same time, I could still hear theughter of the two inside so I was even more nervous.

    ¡°Big sister, Granny, he¡¯s already here.¡± I get the attention of them both.

    Ate Jewel¡¯s eyes almost widened when she saw who was behind me. She obviously didn¡¯t think they would meet today.

    ¡°Thunder ¡­¡± She said softly.

    Granny seemed to notice so she stood up. ¡°Come on Marga and help me clean up first.¡± and I immediately went along.

    Jewel POV

    I stood up because I couldn¡¯t believe that my husband whom I hadn¡¯t seen in weeks, was in front of me now.

    ¡°H-how ¡ª-.¡±

    I never finished what I was going to say when he cut it off. ¡± Marga, I hope you don¡¯t get mad at her because she told me. She just wants to help you.¡± he said.

    I sat down again and couldn¡¯t speak because I didn¡¯t know what to say to him. No one wants to get out of my mouth.

    He sat down in the front seat and looked at me seriously. ¡°You just left without hearing my exnation.¡±

    ¡°Do I need to wait for it even if I¡¯m hurt? Do I still need to hear that even if I already know the truth? You have no intention of telling me, do you? How many weeks or months have you been hiding it from me! I have asked you several times if there is a problem but your answer to me is no. ¡± I said boldly.

    ¡°I have a reason, I don¡¯t want to hurt you so I didn¡¯t tell you first. ¡±

    ¡°And you don¡¯t think I¡¯ll never get hurt because you hid?¡± full of resentment I promised.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like that, I know in myself that it¡¯s not my child! That¡¯s why I hired an investigator. I¡¯m just looking for the right time to tell you because I know how you will react and I don¡¯t want our family to get into trouble . ¡±

    ¡°Whether it¡¯s your son or not, you should tell me! I can understand that, Thunder. I¡¯ll still be with you in that problem! And you know what¡¯s even more painful is that you made me look like a fool. It turns out that you and Jhazzy know each other but you two are still pretending, that¡¯s why you don¡¯t want us to be close because you¡¯re hiding something from me! ¡± I almost crouched down.

    ¡°Hon.¡± he tries to hold me but I just walk away.

    ¡°Tell me how could I trust a person who lied to me? How could I trust you again this time? I felt betrayed by my own husband!¡± I said crying.

    ¡°Jewel please listen to me.¡± he begged.

    ¡°No Thunder! You listen to me, I don¡¯t want to talk to you so please leave.¡± I said..

    ¡°No! I¡¯m not leaving here until we finish talking. Even if I beg you every day I will.¡±

    ¡°Whatever you say, I don¡¯t care.¡± I nodded and turned my back on him.

    Thunder POV

    I almost fainted when my wife turned her back on me and entered her room. I know she¡¯s hurting too much now and I can¡¯t me her because I know it¡¯s my fault why we¡¯re like this again.

    ¡°Kuya are you okay? Where is Ate?¡± Marga asked.

    ¡°She¡¯s in her room I think.¡± I said briefly.

    ¡°Let him think first, maybe she¡¯s just shocked.

    Soon an old man appeared, all I knew was that it was with them. ¡°Iho, have you and your wife done talking? She asked.

    I shook my head. ¡°Not yet, but I won¡¯t stop until she forgives me.¡± I promise.

    ¡°You will be okay soon, Are you still going home? You can sleep here this night.¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯ll just check in at the hotel. I¡¯ll be back tomorrow. Thank you for epting and taking care of my wife.¡± I politely said.

    ¡°Oh no, your wife is kind. Are you sure you¡¯re leaving?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll just be back tomorrow.¡± After I said that I got up and said goodbye.

    Even if I want to stay here, I don¡¯t want to because my wife might get even angrier, maybe I¡¯ll juste back tomorrow to talk to her again. I hope I don¡¯t have a hard time.

    Margaux led me out of the gate. ¡°Thank you Marga for your help.¡± I promise.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing brother, as long as I do it for Ate Jewel and I also want you to get along. Looks like you don¡¯t know anything yet and I don¡¯t want to lead Ate in that matter.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s okay, you¡¯ve helped a lot in telling me where she is. If I need to know anything I¡¯ll just wait for her to tell me herself.¡± I said and said goodbye.

    I got in the car and drove to the hotel which is also very close to the house where my wife lives. Tomorrow I wille back because it is necessary if my wife recovers.

 Chapter 89

    Jewel POV

    I quickly entered the room after I turned my back on Thunder, the truth is that I was really shocked here. I¡¯m not angry at what Marga did knowing that she was just thinking about me because she often sees me crying.

    I just don¡¯t know how to talk to my husband because until now the pain is still here. Yes I know he has a point because I didn¡¯t ask him first but he can¡¯t me me because if he was in my ce he might do the same.

    I miss my son but I can¡¯t face him in this situation with his daddy. And I don¡¯t want him to be affected either. As I sat on my bed I heard a knock and Granny entered.

    ¡°Jewel, can we talk?¡± She asked.

    I nodded in response and sat up.

    ¡°I know that he is your husband, he left already. I¡¯m not interfering but shouldn¡¯t you be talking properly?¡± She said,

    ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to talk to him but it still hurts because of what happened to us.¡± I honestly said.

    ¡°Pain is part of love.. Are you hurt by what you found out? Are you hurt by what¡¯s happening to you? Then you should think about how to get rid of the pain, right? The pain will only go away if you talk and fix it to the person who causes it. You are married so you should stick to each other. Don¡¯t let other people ruin the happy family you have.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s also what I was thinking. When I left it doesn¡¯t mean I gave up my family to that woman. I just left to be able to think, I can¡¯t talk to my husband with anger or resentment because we just can¡¯t get along. I won¡¯t let others ruin my family. ¡°I said.

    ¡°It¡¯s good then. Fight for what you have, remember you are the legal one so you have more rights. Just fight! Especially now that someone will add to your family, I¡¯m sure your husband will be happy when he finds out you¡¯re pregnant. ¡±

    I smiled at her. If that Jhazzy thinks I¡¯m going to leave my family just because I found out she¡¯s wrong. As long as we are the ones Thunder chooses, we are still entitled. I am the legal one and no one can take my ce. If she has a child, she can support it.

    Granny didn¡¯t take long and said goodbye toe out because she was already drowsy, when she left I went to bed because it was already night. Knowing if Thunder won¡¯t stop being my lover.

    The next day I woke up because of the sunlight hitting my face. I just forgot to close my windowst night because I fell asleep as soon as I went to bed. I got up and then went out to see if Marga was awake because I knew that Nanang was really waking up early.

    As I approached the kitchen I smelled the fragrant food that looked like it was still being cooked, I suddenly felt an appetite because of it.

    ¡°I think you cook another delicious food, Granny.¡± I said as I entered the kitchen but I was shocked that Thunder¡¯s face appeared on me.

    ¡°W-what are you doing here? And how did you get in?¡± I asked him who was busy cooking.

    ¡°I came here early and Granny let me in, they left because they said they were going somewhere so they just let me here and decided to just cook you breakfast. Sit down cause it¡¯s already done. ¡°He said.

    I didn¡¯t speak anymore and sat down because I was also hungry and my husband¡¯s prepared food looked delicious. I waited for him after serving what he cooked and then ate. I also invited him but he just refused.

    When we finished eating, I would have put it away but he just snatched it from me and he put it away. So I could do nothing but let him and I went out of the kitchen to hang out on the veranda,

    Soon I noticed him behind me, I was not surprised when he hugged me. I don¡¯t know if I can talk about what happened but as Granny said, I can¡¯t escape it and as long as I don¡¯t deal with it, the pain won¡¯t go away.

    ¡°Talk.¡± I said briefly enough for him to understand.

    ¡°What do you mean? Are you ready to listen now?¡± he asked.

    Sometimes I really want to p him, I already say it then he will just ask again. I walked back into the house and sat in the living room, he followed me and sat down as well.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say I need to hear your exnation? So?¡± I said bravery.. Maybe if I was still the former Jewel I wouldn¡¯t be like Thunder.

    He sighed before starting to tell everything that happened. Then Jhazzy went to his office and told about the child.

    ¡°So why didn¡¯t you tell me? Why did you choose to keep it a secret from me when you knew in yourself that the child was not yours?¡± I asked him annoyed after he told the story.

    ¡°I know what I did was wrong, hiding it from you was wrong, I was just led by the fear that you might get angry. So my n was to just tell you when I proved that it wasn¡¯t really me.¡±

    ¡°What if it¡¯s yours? You have no intention of saying that to me?¡± I promise.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Of course I¡¯ll tell you.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s why you¡¯ve been anxious for almost a month and you seem to have a problem and then you often leave. Do you think I don¡¯t know that sometimes you don¡¯te to the office? I¡¯m just thinking that maybe you have a meeting outside so you¡¯re not there. It turns out that you¡¯re with that woman! ¡°I whispered

    ¡°I¡¯m just keeping herpany so she won¡¯t know that I¡¯m investigating. That¡¯s why I¡¯m here to apologize to you because I know I¡¯m wrong here. I¡¯m just really driven by fear and don¡¯t want our family to be ruined.¡±

    ¡°So where did your fear take you now? You are thinking that I will get angry when you tell me the truth but you didn¡¯t think I would get more angry when I found out it to other people? You don¡¯t know how much that hurts me. You have plenty of time to say but you didn¡¯t. I know you understand me because if you were in my position you would feel the same way. A family is more ruined when they don¡¯t trust each other and most of all when they keep secrets! ¡± my long litany.

    I really can¡¯t help but me him for what¡¯s happening to us, maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯m pregnant so my emotionse first.

 Chapter 90

    Thunder POV

    I can feel my wife¡¯s resentment with every word she utters, but it¡¯s okay for her to express all her thoughts to me. I¡¯m happy that she finally agreed that we can talk so that after that we will be fine.

    ¡°Oh why are you silent? You¡¯re annoying me!¡± she said and at the same time stared at me.

    I really don¡¯t understand this habit of my wife now. I don¡¯t see her as the former Jewel and I see her now as a brave and resilient woman.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have anything more to say, I¡¯ve already exined everything to you.¡±

    ¡°Oh you mean it¡¯s my fault now?¡±

    I was just shaken, I needed a lot of patience.

    ¡°Oh what happened then? Where¡¯s your other woman?¡±she added.

    I raised an eyebrow at her. ¡°What woman are you talking about? If I have a woman it¡¯s only you! And if you¡¯re asking about Jhazzy, I don¡¯t know thest time we talked when I confronted herI didn¡¯t imprison her for the sake of his son and Dane pleaded also. ¡± I answered her.

    ¡°Dane? As in brother Dane, who is your cousin?¡±

    I nodded.

    ¡°Eh why him? What has he got to do with that woman?¡±

    I just got my hair cut.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you before? Aren¡¯t you listening? He¡¯s the father of the child so he¡¯s the one who said he¡¯ll take care of Jhazzy because my cousin is also ashamed of us.¡± I exined.

    ¡°Why are you angry? I was just asking.¡±

    ¡°Because you¡¯re not listening, I already told you everything,¡± I said.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know about it.¡± she growled.

    We were in such a conversation when we heard two voices that seemed to be listening to the two of us and I was not mistaken because Nanang and Marga had arrived.

    ¡°Look at them, Marga, isn¡¯t it sweet even if they fight?¡± Granny said..

    ¡°Yeah Nang eh, it doesn¡¯t look like they¡¯re not okay.¡± She answered giggling.

    ¡°Not funny Marg.¡± my wife was annoyed so the twoughed even more.

    ¡°You know sister, we understand why you¡¯re like that.¡± Marga said and approached Jewel.

    My wife¡¯s eyes red at her.

    ¡°Ow I see, what I mean is you just miss Kuya Thunder so you¡¯re like that.¡± Marga added.

    ¡°No I¡¯m not! Hmp!¡± after saying that Jewel marched it back to her room,

    The three of us looked at each other and shook at the same time. Marga shouted before Jewel could enter the room which made her even more annoyed.

    ¡°The best thing is you just follow your wife to the room, it looks like you haven¡¯t finished talking yet.¡± Granny suggested.

    ¡°Yes big brother and it looks like she hasn¡¯t told you yet.¡± Marga seconded.

    So I just nodded and followed Jewel. I saw her sitting on her bed so I approached her.

    ¡°Why did you leave? We haven¡¯t even finished talking.¡± I calmly promised.

    ¡°Why? They¡¯re just teasing me.¡±

    ¡°So what now? Are you going to forgive me? Hon, we need to fix this and our son needs us.¡± I promise.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you in a hurry for that?¡± She eximed.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to waste any time, I just want to take you home to where you should be.¡± I forced her.

    ¡°Ah well, we aren¡¯t okay right?¡±

    I scratched my forehead a lot. I¡¯m really surprised at how she¡¯s acting now as if she¡¯s not my wife. Kidding!

    ¡°Why are you behaving differently now? I¡¯m just wondering, are you pregnant?¡± I joked with her.

    ¡°Since you¡¯re not the one feeling it! You don¡¯t know how I feel.!¡± I stoppedughing when I heard what he said and she did the same as her eyes widened as if something was wrong.

    ¡°What did you say again?¡± I asked.

    ¡°N-nothing!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not deaf Jewel Mercyl.¡± seriously said.

    She took a deep breath. ¡°Because.¡±

    I raised an eyebrow at her. ¡°What now? Is there anything I should know?¡± I ask.

    ¡°Yes, yes! I¡¯m pregnant! Happy now? But don¡¯t expect me to forgive you because I haven¡¯t.¡±

    I was almost stunned because of what she said, I felt like I was deaf.

    ¡°Y-your what?¡± I ask again.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°I thought you weren¡¯t deaf? You¡¯ll ask questions then when I answer it you will not believe. ¡± she growled at me.

    And because I was so happy, I couldn¡¯t help but hug her, which surprised her. He beat me. ¡°Hey let me go! You¡¯re feeling close, we¡¯re not okay yet!¡±

    I justughed at what she said but I still can¡¯t let go of my hug, I don¡¯t know that even though there are many problems thate to us, there is still a blessing in return. Fortunately I found her right away and found out she was pregnant.

    ¡°Have you checked up already?¡± I ask.

    ¡°Yes, I was with Marga.¡±

    ¡°When did you find out?¡± I ask again..

    She was suddenly sad. ¡°When I found out about you and Jhazzy, when you left home I went to the doctor because I was feeling bad for a few days and I was vomiting, I didn¡¯t tell you because I didn¡¯t want to worry you then I found out I¡¯m pregnant, I¡¯m thinking I¡¯ll just wait for you toe home to tell you. I was about to go home when Jhazzy called me to meet me, then when he went to the bathroom She left her phone and saw it lit up so I looked here and there I saw your picture with his son so I was surprised and I opened it I saw your name in his call logs and when she came back I asked her about the father of his son and she said he¡¯s busy at work, even though I suspected about it I still choose to ignore it,. Until we went for a walk and someone called her and because of my curiosity I followed her and I found out that she was talking to you and that¡¯s when I found out everything. ¡±

    I let go of her hand. ¡°So choose to just leave me than ask me?¡±

    She nodded. ¡°I¡¯m hurting that¡¯s why I don¡¯t know what to do anymore, so I just chose to stay away first and it might even affect my pregnancy.¡±

    ¡°Please next time don¡¯t do it again. When something like this happens, ask me and hear my exnation first. Look at what happened right? Then you¡¯re pregnant, what if something bad happened to you? I won¡¯t forgive myself Jewel and Storm will hate me. ¡± I promise.

    She didn¡¯t speak but I heard her sniffle so I just hugged her tightly.

 Chapter 91

    Thunder POV

    We spent almost a week in Baguio and as my wife told me she wanted Marga to help now so what we did the other day was we also sent her parents here. They could not believe that they would be able to see their daughter again who they thought was dead.

    They also talked about Margaing back with them and she also asked for a favor to include Granny with them because she said she no longer has a family and they did not hesitate to agree because they are very indebted to Nanang in fostering their child.

    And if you ask what happened to Jewel and me, you can tell if we are okay again even though she is often naughty or hot -tempered and I understand that because she is pregnant. And now her things are in order because this is the day we will go home.

    I put the things in the car to get it ready while Jewel was happily talking to Granny and Marga, the next day they were leaving because they still had things to fix. Granny was going to sell her house here but Marga¡¯s parents said to make it a vacation house.

    ¡°You¡¯re going back to your family now. Next time, don¡¯t run away.¡± Marga joked with Jewel, who made usugh.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be stubborn either, help Tito and Tita because I¡¯m sure that¡¯s what your older brother wants and he¡¯ll be happy.¡± Jewel said to her.

    I approached Grannywho was standing next to Marga while smiling. ¡°Thank you for epting and taking care of my wife.¡± I said..

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I was really happy because Marga and I had someone here and another thing is that your wife is kind.¡± she replied.

    I smiled and my wife leaned over and hugged Granny. ¡°Thank you so much for epting me even though at first you didn¡¯t know that Marga and I know each other, I¡¯m happy to have met you and know if your life with Marga¡¯s family will be fine.¡± Jewel said calmly.

    We didn¡¯t stay long and left so that the night wouldn¡¯t catch up with us. Jewel¡¯s parents already know that I am with their daughter and that our son Storm wants to go home, just in case we aren¡¯t there yet so I¡¯ll just pick him up tomorrow.

    FASTFORWARD

    It¡¯s been five months since my family got back together and we¡¯ve been happier because with Jewel¡¯s pregnancy, there will be more to our family. During those months my wife and I grew even stronger in love with our son Storm. We have been to several countries for vacation and we have even celebrated Storm¡¯s birthday.

    Sometimes I can¡¯t go to the office because of Jewel¡¯s delicate pregnancy, there are times when she wants something to eat and wants to be given it so I prefer to work at home temporarily.

    Our son Storm is starting to attend a private school, he doesn¡¯t have a hard time because our son is smart.

    Our friends also visit here often so somehow my wife will not be bored.

    And as for Jhazzy, he is no longer in the Philippines and she¡¯s with my cousin Dane, but before they left, she went to us to personally apologize. Sure something happened to us during the times me and Jewel weren¡¯t okay but I never had children with her. She and Dane had been in a rtionship for several years until she got pregnant. All I know is that they had an argument so they left and took their son with her.

    I am currently in my office here at home because I have reviewed papers sent to me by my secretary, suddenly the door opens and the smiling wife enters it carrying a tray. I stood up and greeted and supported her onto the mini sofa.

    ¡°I made you a snack knowing how much work you¡¯re doing right now.¡±

    ¡°I just need to read some for approval so I¡¯m just finishing them to get started.¡± I answered and sat down.

    ¡°I told you toe into the office because I¡¯m okay and our maids are still here.¡±C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    ¡°It¡¯s okay even though I¡¯m here at home, I can still work and one more thing I want to make sure you¡¯re alright.¡± I answered.

    ¡°Our baby is only six months old so I¡¯m still okay. You don¡¯t need to worry about me because I¡¯m not alone.¡± she insisted.

    I just shook my head. ¡°I¡¯m okay here, when there are important meetings I¡¯ll go.¡± I said.

    She just sighed and then nodded. She knows that she can¡¯t force me on such a matter, even though we have talked about it a few times, one day we will actually return to this topic.

    ¡°You don¡¯t want to eat?¡± I asked her.

    ¡°I ate before I went here so I¡¯m full,¡± she replied.

    ¡°You should have just apanied me.¡± I said.

    Sheughed and didn¡¯t speak so I just continued eating. I am happy with this family, only with my wife and my son, my life isplete. I never thought I would be happy like this, fortunately I was lucky with my wife that even though I was confused before and I hurt her too much, she chose to forgive me.

 Chapter 92

    Jewel¡¯s due date has arrived so Thunder is more focused on it, what he feels now is so much emotion because his child will being out these days so almost everyone is excited. Thunder is now on the sofa reading the documents handed to him by his secretary. He no longer goes to the office because of his wife.

    While he was reading he heard a loud shouting from their room so he quickly got up and went to their room because his wife was there.

    When he entered the room he could not see Jewel so he went straight to the bathroom and saw her writhing in pain. ¡°What happened hon?¡± he asked.

    ¡°I-I think I¡¯m going to give birth!¡± she said crying,

    ¡°What? As in now?¡± Thunder asked further.

    ¡°Damn you! I¡¯m going to give birth so take me to the hospital you idiot!¡± Jewel shouted.

    It was only then that Thunder realized what Jewel said and quickly picked up his wife, the confusion was still obvious, Jewel felt his trembling. When they got down, it was good and their driver was also there, so the two quickly got on board and immediately started driving.

    ¡°Hold on hon, we¡¯ll get there too.¡± he would ease inside the wife because it was crying tears,

    She doesn¡¯t know how her wife feels but he makes sure it hurts.

    When they arrived at the hospital, the doctors were quick to take care of Jewel because of Thunder¡¯s shout, they quickly put her in the delivery room. He also called his friends and parents to let them know what happened.

    Thunder was just waiting outside when the door opened and the doctor came out. ¡°Mr. Alcantara? Pleasee inside first to somehow help your wife.¡±

    He took what the doctor gave him and quickly put it on and at the same time they entered the delivery room. He immediately saw her wife lying in the hospital bed and seemed to be having difficulty giving birth.

    ¡°Okay Mrs. Alcantara Sir is here to somehow get rid of your nervousness.¡± doctor¡¯s announcement.

    Jewel held Thunder so tightly that he could almost feel the pain his wife was going through.

    ¡°Okay ready again. Mrs. Alcantara when I count to three you just push.¡° The doctor¡¯s order is what Jewel did.

    They almoststed because it was so difficult to get their child out. ¡°Ahhhhhhhh !!¡± Jewel shouted loudly.

    ¡°Onest push Jewel.¡±

    ¡°You can do that, just a little more hon.¡± Thunder eximed.

    ¡°You¡¯re really a jerk, Thunder! It will be thest time that I will allow you to get me pregnant! Ahhhhh.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be like that hon, they¡¯re just two we need more children.¡± Thunder said, which wasughed at by those with them inside.

    And thest time Jewel was angry, their child also came out, the girl immediately lost consciousness.

    ¡°Congrats Mr. Alcantara, she¡¯s a healthy and gorgeous baby girl!¡± smiling as the doctor who shed her tears while holding their newborn baby. He quickly approached his wife and kissed her on the forehead even though she was asleep.

    ¡°We¡¯ll just clean the baby and move your wife to a private room.¡± the doctor said and Thunder immediately nodded.

    Soon after, Jewel was moved to a new room and Thunder was there to watch over her husband while their son had not been taken there by the doctor.

    The door opened and lit up their friends.

    ¡°Where¡¯s the baby? OMG! I¡¯m so excited.¡± Calliyah shouted immediately.

    ¡°Lower your voice babe, it¡¯s like you¡¯re causing a scandal. Many patients here are sleeping.¡± her boyfriend Dark scolded her.

    ¡°They¡¯re still cleaning the baby and it¡¯ll be here soon.¡± Thunder replied.

    ¡°How¡¯s Jewel?¡± Monique asked.

    ¡°She fell asleep right after giving birth so she¡¯s still resting, she¡¯ll wake up soon.¡± Thunder replied.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure Jewel almost cursed at you when she gave birth. And we¡¯re also sure you almost fainted from nervousness.¡± Cainughed.

    ¡°Yeah! Even when we were still at home I was nervous because I didn¡¯t know what to do and until the delivery I could see how she was having a hard time.¡± said Thunder.

    ¡°She was like that when she gave birth to Storm, especially since it was your first baby, so it was very difficult for her because your eldest son inherited your stubbornness, so it takes how many hours before hees out.¡± Cain said.

    ¡°So, it¡¯s good now that it didn¡¯t take long.¡± Thunder said softly.

    We just talked to them there, Jewel hadn¡¯t woken up yet and the door opened and spat out a nurse with a baby. The nurse walked closer to Thunder. ¡°Mr. Alcantara, this is your baby now. We¡¯ll juste backter to get her name.¡±

    Thunder took their daughter and stroked her cheek. He couldn¡¯t help but shed tears because of the joy he felt because it was the first time he had been with his wife while giving birth.

    His friends were very happy while looking at him because they noticed Thunder¡¯s happiness and excitement. They knew he was not there when their first son was born so they understand why the young man is so emotional today.

    After a few minutes, they also borrowed the child. They were very happy because it was beautiful and like an angel even when asleep. They¡¯re sure Thunder will be protective here when it grows up and you even include his older brother Storm.

    They almost didn¡¯t want to let go of the child until Jewel woke up and Thunder approached her immediately.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake, do you want to eat something?¡± he asked.

    ¡°I just want water, hon,¡± Jewel replied with a smile.

    So Thunder took a ss of water and gave it to his wife and immediately drank, then Cain gave their daughter for Jewel to see.

    ¡°Our baby is gorgeous like you hon.¡± Thunder smiled.

    ¡°She¡¯s cute even when she¡¯s asleep.¡±

    ¡°Did you ever think of her name?¡± Thunder asked.

    ¡°You can name her hon, I named Storm and now it¡¯s your turn.¡± his wife replied.

    ¡°A-are you sure?¡± he asked his wife again and she nodded.

    ¡°I think I will name her Princess Kiara.¡± Thunder smiled.

    ¡°That name suits her.¡± smiling Jewel¡¯s promise.

    ¡°Thank you hon, thank you for giving me a wonderful family.¡± Thunder said.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.

 Chapter 93

    It¡¯s been a year since Thunder and Jewel were blessed with a new child. Their family became even happier.

    It has been three weeks since they returned to the Philippines because they stayed in New York for almost a year because Thunder wanted to spend time with his family and his wife did not object.

    They are very grateful because for a year no problem came to them or no one tried to ruin them again, except for the asional quarrel or fight that is normal in a couple.

    And today is their wedding anniversary but they can¡¯t celebrate it today because they are leaving tomorrow, because their parents gave them a gift so they can have time with each other. They really want to include their two children, but their friends stop them.

    Unbeknownst to the couple, their friends were already at their house to prepare a surprise for them. They are not at home yet so they do not know their ns, because they left for groceries.

    Jewel is currently in the car because they just finished shopping with her husband Thunder and they also didn¡¯t stay long at the mall because they left their child behind but they are confident because they have babysitters.

    ¡°Hon, are you sure we¡¯re going to leave the kids tomorrow?¡± Jewel asked Thunder.

    ¡°No matter how hard we try to include them, mama and papa will definitely not allow us to.¡± the wife replied.

    ¡°Because I can¡¯t befortable without them.¡±

    ¡°Our parents will take good care of them, especially his uncles and tita¡¯s.¡± Thunderughed.

    ¡°Our eldest grew up to be a handsome boy.¡±

    ¡°Yeah right, you might get surprised when the timees that he will introduce his girlfriend.¡± her husband teased her.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure it will take a long time, knowing Storm, you know your eldest son who is as cold as you.¡± Jewel¡¯s promise.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Thunder justughed because of what his wife said, it can¡¯t be denied because his son got his habit while their youngest got Jewel¡¯s habit. And even when she was young he could see how Storm would protect it.

    Soon they arrived at their house, Jewel was still wondering because the house was so quiet and it was impossible for their child to be asleep because it was already noon. Thunder first took in the car what they had bought.

    ¡°Oh why aren¡¯t youing in yet?¡± Thunder asked Jewel as he even caught her standing in the doorway.

    ¡°I¡¯m just wondering because our house is quiet, are the children still asleep?¡±

    ¡°Maybe they are ying inside or in the pool area. Let¡¯s go in.¡± Thunder¡¯s promise.

    Thunder went straight to their kitchen and Jewel went with him to help him organize their groceries but they found their maids there.

    ¡°Ma¡¯am, Sir, you¡¯re already here, I¡¯ll take care of your purchases. The kids are in the pool area.¡± One of the maids said.

    The couple immediately nodded and walked towards the pool area where their maid said, so maybe their children didn¡¯t meet them because they didn¡¯t know they had arrived.

    ¡°Happy Anniversary couple!¡± their friends shouted.

    Jewel got surprised, their friend even had a banner with Happy Anniversary Thunder and Jewel and there was more food ready on the table including wines. Not only their friends were there but also their parents.

    ¡°That¡¯s why the house is quiet because you have a gimmick like this.¡± Jewel cried.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee best,¡± Calliyah saidughing.

    ¡°Because we n to make a surprise for the both of you, you two will leave tomorrow so we should also celebrate together.¡± Dark said.

    ¡°So we nned this and we also called Tita and Tito.¡± Cain seconded.

    ¡°Happy Anniversary guys!¡± Monique said.

    Their parents came over and greeted them, the joy that the couple felt was priceless. They can say they were lucky because they had parents and friends who supported them in everything and never left them.

    All day long it was just pure fun that happened to them. Chichatting, dining and drinking. Until that night, they will still be together, because this is also where their friends as well as their parents will sleep because they will be the ones to temporarily look after their child when they leave.

    It was almost dawn when they finished, their parents went to bed earlier and their son was also asleep. They are already in the room where they slept because no Storm wants them to sleep next to each other today.

    The couple went up to their room while their friends went straight to the guest room.

    As Thunder and Jewel enter they find their two children sound asleep, Storm hugging his youngest sister. They couldn¡¯t help but look at each other and smile.

    ¡°Storm will be a good brother.¡± Thunder suddenly said.

    ¡°Indeed hon, it¡¯s obvious to him. Those who try to woo our youngest will definitely have a hard time.¡± Jewel said whileughing.

    Soon they were also beside their children and went to sleep.

    The next morning the couple woke up early to get ready for their departure. Their children also woke up early.

    ¡°Mom, Dad are you leaving?¡± Storm asked.

    ¡°Yes son, we¡¯ll just fix the rest of our stuff.¡± Jewel replied.

    ¡°Be a good brother to your sister Storm, you take care of her.¡± Thunder ordered

    ¡°I will Dad, Mom! I will forever protect her no matter what happens.¡± Storm replied, whenever he is mature enough to think and speak and they know very well that he will be a good brother.

    Soon they ate together with their friends and parents. And then the couple also left so that they would not be caught in the afternoon on the flight.

 Chapter 94

    When they had finished eating, Thunder arranged their belongings to be taken to the car. They will not go to another country but only here in the Philippines to a resort where their parents gave them a gift so that they can have time with each other.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    At first they didn¡¯t want to ept it because they didn¡¯t need it anymore because a few times they left alone and sometimes with their children but Jewel¡¯s mommy insisted so in the end they agreed.

    ¡°We will leave you first and maybe when wee back we are already there.¡± Thunder joked that they all did.

    Jewel immediately hit him. ¡°You thought it was easy, try to give birth so you can experience it.¡±

    They said goodbye to their parents and friends, thetter to their son. ¡°Be a good boy Storm help your grandma and grandpa okay? Sometimes your aunts and uncles are here. We¡¯ll only be gone for 3 days.¡± Jewel said to her son.

    ¡°Yes mom, no need to worry. I know my limitations. And I¡¯m already a big boy.¡± he answered.

    ¡°You¡¯ll take care of your sister. Be responsible brother. Always remember what I have told you.¡± his father Thunder added.

    ¡°Yes daddy, I can¡¯t forget that. I¡¯ll take care of my sister no matter what happens. Just enjoy and I love you both.¡± Storm said.

    ¡°I love you always.¡± Jewel replied smiling.

    ¡°I love you both, you and Kiara.¡± Thunder replied.

    The couple kissed their youngest child and then their eldest and got in the car. While on the flight they were just quiet and no one spoke.

    ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Thundermented on him because he noticed that his wife seemed to be thinking deeply.

    Jewel looked quickly. ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m just thinking that we¡¯ve been together for a few years and even though we¡¯ve been separated or had problems for many times, we¡¯re still here.¡± she smiled.

    ¡°When you two are destined to be together even if you are far away for how many times, you will stille back with each other¡¯s life.¡± Thunder said.

    ¡°You¡¯re a bit cheesy in that part, it doesn¡¯t suit you being Thunder Alcantara.¡± Jewel said.

    ¡°I am not ashamed of being choosy in front of you.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve changed a lot. Maybe that¡¯s how it is when you¡¯re really in love with me.¡± Jewel jokes.

    Thunder raised an eyebrow at her. ¡°Look who¡¯s talking. Who¡¯s been in love with me since the beginning?¡±

    Jewel hit him quickly. ¡°You¡¯re really ruining the moment, just continue driving!¡±

    Thunderughed, his wife was often really picky. ¡°Your pick, hon, but it¡¯s okay I still love you. I love you so much.¡±

    Jewel¡¯s cheeks turned red from what she heard. ¡°You¡¯re really naughty all the time, just like you said I love you more. You know that me and our children love you so much.. You¡¯re not perfect but for us you are enough. You are the best husband and a father always remember that. ¡±

    ¡°Will I be thrilled by that? For me I have the best family and I have nothing else to ask for. Even in the next life, you will still be the one I will choose to be with. Till death do us part.¡± Thunder said smiling/

    ¡°Till death do us part hon, we will grow old together.¡± Jewel replied with a smile and even kissed her husband on the lips while leaning on his shoulder.

    They were already in the middle of the flight when Thunder didn¡¯t notice a trucking to meet them, obviously it had a problem because it wasn¡¯t in the rightne. It was toote for him to brake and they werepletely hit by it. He just hugged his wife Jewel before they finally crashed into the truck they met.

    Thunder even heard his wife¡¯s scream before hepletely lost consciousness.

    On the other hand, Calliyah let go of the ss she was holding when she suddenly felt nervous about something she couldn¡¯t exin, Dark, Cain and Monique quickly looked at her.

    ¡°What happened tita?¡± Storm asked.

    ¡°Yes Calli, is there a problem?¡± Jewel¡¯s mother was second.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know aunt, I suddenly felt nervous. C-can we call Jewel and Thunder?¡± Calliyah said.

    So Cain nodded and picked up his phone but several times he tried to call the two but neither of them answered.

    ¡°Maybe they just didn¡¯t hear the babe, so no one answered them. Don¡¯t think too much okay?¡± Dark¡¯s relief inside his previously restless girlfriend.

    ¡°Let¡¯s just wait for them to get to the resort they¡¯ll definitely call.¡± Jewel¡¯s father suggested that they all agree.

    But Calliyah still hasn¡¯t lost the nervousness and fear she feels in her system. She will not be reassured until she can talk to her friend and know that they are safe.

    About a few minutester, Cain¡¯s phone rang and he saw Thunder the caller so he answered quickly.

    ¡°Bro, I¡¯ve been calling before!¡± Cain opened up to the friend but he was surprised because the woman was on the other line.

    ¡°W-what, who are you? Why is my friend¡¯s phone in your hand?¡± Cain asks immediately.

    ¡°Sir, this is a **** hospital. I¡¯m a nurse here so I just used one of their phones to let them know that they had an ident.¡± voice on the other line.

    Cain could not speak immediately because of what he heard, as if he were suddenly deaf. And because Dark noticed it so he snatched the phone from the friend and he was the one who talked to whoever called it after a few seconds he put it down.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Jewel¡¯s mother asked anxiously, but no one spoke to them immediately.

    ¡°Hey babe, Cain what¡¯s up? Who¡¯s that?¡± Calliyah repeated because she was even more nervous about the actions of the two.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you talk!¡± Monique said angrily.

    ¡°Tita, Tito J-jewel and T-thunder got into an ident.¡± stammered Cain.

    Jewel¡¯s mother¡¯s knee almost weakened when she heard the news, so they didn¡¯t miss a moment and went to the hospital, the nurse said.

    When they got there, they immediately searched for the couple and took them to the emergency room. They were also with Storm and Kiara, earlier Storm was crying when he found out what happened to his parents. When they arrived at the door, the doctor met them.

    ¡°Doc. Where are my daughter and son?¡± Jewel¡¯s mother asked, crying.

    The doctor¡¯s face showed sadness as he looked at them. ¡°We did our best to save Mrs. Dawson but they both gave up. I¡¯m sorry.¡± He answered.

    ¡°No! That¡¯s not true! My mom and dad will never leave me. They will never leave us! You are lying!¡± Storm was startled by Cain¡¯s capture of him and quickly entered the ER where his parents were.

    They quickly followed the boy and they could see their lifeless friends still holding hands.

    ¡°Mom! Dad! Wake up! Y-you can¡¯t leave me, no!¡± Storm forcefully shakes his parents alternately until they are sitting on the sahid while holding the hands of the two.

    Jewel¡¯s mother also almost fainted because of what she saw that her husband just supported her. While Cain was still hitting the wall and Monique started to cry.

    ¡°You¡¯re crazy Jewel! Don¡¯t joke like that! Wake up there, you both can¡¯t die! You promise us that when youe back you will have another baby!¡± Calliyah was almost in tears so her boyfriend Dark hugged her who was also crying.

    Mrs. Dawson hugged her daughter Jewel while crying and soon after the door opened and it spat out Thunder¡¯s parents.

    ¡°My son, no!! What happened? Where is the doctor? They need to revive my son and Jewel!!¡± his mother cried and hugged Thunder¡¯s body as well.

    ¡°You are really a jerk Thunder and you are a bitch Jewel! You really proved that you will be together till death us part.¡± Cain¡¯s rebuke.

    Almost all you hear in the emergency room is crying where they are now with their two friends that they will never be able to be with again.

    Cain approached Storm who was still on the floor and continued to cry. They are too young to lose their parents.

    ¡°Buddy.¡± he gets its attention but it seems to hear nothing.

    He touched her shoulder and that¡¯s when she looked at him. ¡°T-tito.¡± his weak utterance.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you strong? Your mom and dad won¡¯t want to see you like that.¡± Cain said.

    ¡°N-no uncle! My parents are still alive. T-they promise t-that they w-wille back! I trust my daddy¡¯s words. H-he won¡¯t disappoint me, h-they won¡¯t leave us.¡± It was almost hoarse.

    After Storm said this he stood up and approached his father. ¡°Dad, wake up! Y-you promise me! Y-you and m-mom promise me that you won¡¯t leave me and Kiara, that you¡¯ll always be there for us! Please wake up both of you. Don ¡® t break us, don¡¯t break me and my heart dad, mom! I¡¯m begging you d-don¡¯t do this to me. ¡± himent.

 Chapter 95 â€“ Ending

    Today is the day of Thunder and Jewel¡¯s funeral, it took only five days because their parents don¡¯t want to spend more time and everyone understands that because it¡¯s not easy to lose a loved one. Nothing hurts more than a mother and father burying their own children.

    Since the couple died it has had a huge impact on their eldest son Storm, he is often quiet and they only see him crying when he is in his parents ¡®room. For five days Storm did not leave the coffins of the two, he always sat there next to them and watched his father and mother sleep peacefully.

You have done many things to me, you are not only my best friend but for me you are my sister. It just pains me thinking that here we are saying farewell to the both of you, we will be separated and that I can no longer talk, joke and touch you. I will always treasure all the moments we have shared. I love you so much until the next life.¡± Calliyah hurtful words.

    ¡°You know Thunder you really are a jerk, you¡¯ve faced all the challenges in life but in one snap you will die in a car ident, I attended your wedding but you won¡¯t attend my wedding? Is it unfair of you you know that? We have been best friends since we are kids and I am not ready for this event.

    Cain approached the coffin while holding the couple¡¯s youngest child, Kiara. What happened to the two friends was painful for him especially since he knew the whole story of these two.

    ¡°Hey what¡¯s up! You still have time to get up there! You idiots! You¡¯re going to die by an ident! You really proved the word till death do us part because you¡¯re really leaving together at the same time. I¡¯m one of the witnesses of your love story even when some will say that you didn¡¯t have a happy ending but for me you have it because you had a happy family here until the end. I know you are both happy leaving this world together. I am proud of you two, you have the best love story. It¡¯s like a roller coaster to me. I love you two so much and don¡¯t worry because we are always here for Storm and Kiara, we will never forsake them. ¡± Cain¡¯s long litany as his tears flowed, the youngest son of Jewel and Thunder also began to cry as if he understood what was happening.

    When Storm got closer he both held his parents¡¯ hand, based on his grip it was tight as if he didn¡¯t want to let go because he knew when he did that he would never be able to do it again.
