CHAPTER 2

Abby POV:

EVERYONE KEEPS on eyeing me since then I am at the elevator heading to Cloud's office. I got conscious to how I look so I scan myself---I'm wearing yellow puff dress that reach up to my knees and I paired it with white sandals.

When I'm done checking myself and found nothing I just only shrugged my shoulders. The hell I care!

"Good morning can I talk to Mr. Cloud Salazar?"

I asked the girl who were sitting infront of the door that the receptionist directed me.

"Good morning mam, do you have any appointment?"

"Ah no, I don't have but, Can I atleast talk to him even just for a minute? I brought lunch for him"

I told her and showed her the paper bag I was holding.

"I’m sorry mam, Mr. Salazar is busy as of now and you need to schedule an appointment in order to talk to him."

"Even just 5 minutes miss, I will be fast." I beg to the woman. 

"I’m sorry mam" Eventhough she's smiling I know that deep inside she was annoyed to me.

"Tell him it’s Abby Zegura - Salazar, his wife"

I irritatedly told her and it registered to the face of the woman the shock and embarassed but immediately disappear. Before it shyly smiled at me.

"I’m so sorry Mrs. Salazar  I didn’t recognize you, I'm really sorry and Mr. Salazar is currently talking to someone inside just wait for a while."

She said and smiled me at me nervously before motioned me on the waiting area. 

I can say that she is nice and professional and I also understand that she was just doing her job. I thank her and smiled before sitting at a vacant chair.

I glance at my watch and it was 11:35 AM. I just arrived at exact lunch time. I do hope Cloud will eat the food I brought to him.

It wasn't even  five minutes that I was sitting outside when the door infront of me opened then there I saw my husband whose face is grumpy with a man I am not familiar.

They glance on my side and the man that I am not familiar grin at me and I felt goose bumps and a bit nervous.

"Oww what do we have here" He uttered and walk towards my direction.

I looked at my husband and his face became even darker and scarier.

"Stay away from my wife Alcantara"

His voice are full of knives that any moment could kill someone. If we are in different situation, maybe I can feel butterflies in my stomach but when I looked at him and he was looking at me using his deadly glare I felt scared. Oh God, what have I done this time?

The man infront of me laughed and I was shocked when he suddenly held my hand and kissed the back of my palm.

“Nice to meet you Salazar’s Wife”.

He said and winked at me. I felt scared on the way he stared at me.

Before I could say anything, Cloud grab my hand from the hold of Alcantara and pulled me close to him.

"You may go now Alcantara. Thank you for your proposal but I don’t like it" Cloud demanded before he turned his back and get inside his office together with me.

I watched Cloud when he touched his head in irritation and if I didn't fake a cough he will forget that I am here with him.

He angrily turned to me and I flinched when he harshly pushed me on the closed door. I deeply closed my eyes when I felt the pain on my back but I compose myself and ignore the shit even if it hurts.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!!" His voice roared inside of the four corners of his office.

"Ahm I brought your l-lunch since I wasn't able to cook your breakfast this m-morning"

I quietly said then I held the paper bag for him to see it. I gave him a small smile eventhough I want to run as fastas I could because of fear.

He just looked at the paper bag that I am holding and he suddenly grab my wrist and drag me out of his office until we reach the parking lot.

I nervously closed my eyes because he drove the car in full speed and we are like flying already.

I thank all saints when we reach the house safe and sound but the fear I felt a while ago bring back when he harshly drag me out the car and harmfully tugged me in the house.

"C-Cloud let go of me, w-what's wrong with you? i-it hurts please let me go"

I forcefully get my wrist from his hand but he tightened his grip. 

I cried because of pain and the fear I feel towards him. I even cried hard when he brutally grab my jaw and made it close to his face.

"Don't you dare cry infront of me as if I did bully or mistreat you because if you just didn't only ruined my relationship with Andrea you will not experience this!!" He sais those words quietly but murderously and the anger in his voice was visible.

"Remember this bitch, even we are married, I will never be a husband to you, I will never treat you as my wife. I only agree to this bullshit marriage that your father wants to make your life a living hell. Therefore, weather you like it or not you have no way out! That's what people like you deserve. A hellish life!

He roared before letting go of my jaw.

I felt the pain in my face but it was nothing compare to the pain I felt in my heart because of what he said.

He get the paper bag  that until now I am holding and open all the tupper ware inside and throw all the foods on the floor.

"Clean it now or else you will never like what I will do to you if after 5 minutes you aren't finish."

he mockingly said before he turned his back to me and I instantly clean the floor even I was shaking in pain.

My eyes are full of tears while cleaning the foods he throw in the floor. I felt sorry for the foods I hardly cooked.

I heared the moans of the woman that Cloud was banging inside of his room. Everyday he bring a girl in this house to have sex but the tears in my eyes are not yet empty because as I heared those fucking moans and groans, anither set of fresh tears roll at my face. I feel like the pain I felt was too much but I should bear with it because I choose it. Afterall, it was all my fault.

I keep on thiking the happy memories I had with Cloud when we were kids.

Since we were young I am inlove with him. How funny that I even first fell inlove with him before I even know the definition of love.

He was my prince charming back then, he was always there beside me

when  my mom is busy with her modeling and dad is busy with his left and right business trips. He never get tired listening to my rants about my life, he was always there to make me smile even if he was so corny,

I remembered the time when he doesn't want to see me crying.

He hates seeing me cry because I looked like a rugged doll.

I turned around when I felt someone os watching me.

I glanced at Cloud who instantly grinned at me and get some water.

Maybe they just finish with their gross sex because he was only wearing boxers and nothing else. I withdraw my gaze and was about to get out of the kitchen when he suddenly pulled me. 

He harshly kissed me in my neck and pushed me at the sink.

"l-let go of me"

I hardly pushed him away from he was so strong than me which is why I did my best to pushed him hard but he just kissed me even more.

When his grip became weak, I instantly slap him hard. 

His furious eyes looks at me like a dagger that trying to rip my soul.

I doesn't expect him to slap me even harder that cause me to slam at the floor.  He looks at me with disgust before leaving the kitchen.

Holding the side of my face he slapped, I can't help but to cry my heart out. 

What happened to my prince charming back then? What happened to you Cloud? Am I really the reason why you've changed? I love you and I will never stop loving you.
