Kimberly wakes with Nathan at the other side of bed; he seems to be asleep with one arm on his head. She moves closer and just stared at him, crying. Then gently touch his face, shaken with fears.
"W-h-a-t s w-r-o-n-g..." she cried painfully due to the bruises on the side of her mouth she got from Nathan's hard slap. "I... love... you... Nathan... I love you..." she weeps and lay near him until she slept again.
The next morning Nathan was awakened by a deep breath on his neck. He stares at her feeling pain and guilty at the same time, seeing her face and body with fresh bruises from last night's torture.
She looks so innocent as if she can't do anything wrong...
"But the truth is...SHE'S FOOLING ME!!!" he gritted his teeth once again shaking her harshly.
"Hey! You bitch!!! Wake up! Hey!!!"
"Nathan..." she was terrified and move away.
"I'm hungry! Get me some food!" he ordered with his eyes on the wall.
"Nath___"
"Aren't
Nathan wakes that late night enfolded by his wife's whole body. Her head pressed on his chest while her arm and legs spread around him."I will ignore everything and continue to live with you... away from here... from Andy... and from that woman..." he thought while stroking her hair.Then, he carefully rose placing the pillow on her side kissing her lips gently before he went into the kitchen to clean and cook soup for his wife. He also prepared basin of water with ice and face towel for Kimberly's bruises."Ah...." she groans as Nathan press gently on the side of her mouth, the mark of his hard slap. "Nathan!" she was shocked and moved away. "Please don't hurt me.... please..." she cried."Keep still, I haven't finish..." Nathan felt guilty but he tries to be casual and squeeze the towel. He took her arms and gently pressed the towel again. "Is this, okay?" he asked, and she nods. "Cold?" he added."It's fine..." she said softly, and they fell qu
Nathan was still asleep when Kimberly wakes, today's Nathan's birthday and she's excited to prepare everything. First, she'll bake the special double chocolate cake. She smiles imagining Nathan's reaction. Next was his favorite food including steaks, the goulash and ravioli. And also try to cook tempura. She even decorates the kitchen into a children's party like, balloons and confetti, since the idea is about their babies. The main present is hidden in a small box which wrapped with effort.Kring.kring.kring.The phone rings that she quickly went outside leaving the box on the table."Hello?" she horridly answers the phone to avoid disturbing Nathan in his sleep."Kimberly..." Andy started."Hey Andy, sorry we didn't show up yesterday, something happens." she explain but Andy paused fighting his tears. "Hey what's wrong?""Are you okay?" Andy asked back trying his best to be casual."C'mon Andy what's wrong? You're making me ne
The sun rises naturally that Tuesday morning and it's been two days since Kimberly was tied inside the bathroom. She also had no idea that it's been two days since her mother's wake laid at the funeral and even Nathan has gone for two days. Henry was having a hard time looking for the both of them; with the help of Nathan's father, they check every airline, cruise lines, all the possible transportation they use, places they go, but still no clues. Until Henry went to Johnny's bar and have a little drink to ease the stress he experiences."Hey, it's been a long time, Henry!" Johnny greeted, giving him the usual drink, he orders."It seems like your best friend's relationship is having a hard time?" Johnny starts as Henry sits in front of him while all the crews are cleaning the bar from last night business."What do you mean?" Henry asked surprise."You didn't know?" even Johnny has same reaction."I've been looking for him... do you know where he i
"I don't understand Henry; how can this thing happen?" even Lorraine was shocked as they enter Kimberly's room the next morning. They didn't mind whether Nathan was there, sleeping."You don't know how piteous she is when I found her." Henry speaks."Nathan still haven't change after all... what did he say?" Lorraine shakes head."Nothing... we still haven't spoken about this.""God! it's so hard to believe that everything happens so fast...she was just in my clinic last Friday asking to have an ultrasound for Nathan's birthday present..." Lorraine sat at the couch near the window."You met her?" Henry was a bit surprised."Yes, and she's doing very fine... at first I was worried cause instead of Nathan she's with her brother... then she asks me not to tell anyone especially you and of course Nathan, she wanted their babies___""Babies?!" Henry cut her like Andy did."Yes, they got twins." Lorraine continued."What did y
Henry insists to drive the car to Mrs. Aston's wake since he hates the way Nathan do it."So, you think Andy and Kimberly are cheating on you?" Henry tries his best to be more of a good listener."I don't know what else to think Henry." Nathan speak softly, he was so confused, broken, depress."You don't know... why?""C'mon Henry...isn't everything was damn frustrating!" he raised his voice impatiently."Your uncontrolled temper, quick change of moods, the narrow-mindedness...all of it, brought you this trouble! And worse...you had a wife; a pregnant wife involves!" even Henry raised his voice and took a deep sighed before he continues. "How long will you be like this Nathan? You had a wonderful, innocent, young lovely wife like what Lorraine said... what else do you want?" Henry shakes his head in disapproval."You knew very well how much I love her...I did everything I can for her to appreciate our honeymoon. I brought her to Japan, to Pa
When they arrived, Nathan has to meet someone at the information first while Henry decided to go upstairs. Inside Kimberly's room he met Andy and its immeasurable wrath, staring on his sister's wounded body."W-H-Y?!? Why did he do this!?" he shouted."Andy___" Henry tried to calm him."Where is he?! Where is he?!" he keeps on shouting."Andy calm down..." Doctor Rebecca was already there too."How could he hurt Kimberly... she's pregnant... for goddamn sake!" Andy speaks with gritted teeth."Nathan told me about this woman who approached him last Friday, he doesn't remember the name... but he says that she's your girlfriend..." Henry explained."What?!" Andy was shocked."And what does that woman supposed to do in this situation?" Mr. Conner asked but before anyone can speak, Nathan comes in."YOU, MONSTER!?!!" Andy shouted and ready to beat Nathan, but Henry gets in the way. "Andy calm down... let's talk this over..."
"Wait! This is getting on my nerves." Mr. Conner was a bit impatient. "There's something here that we don't know and you two can't tell me... so I think I just have to find it myself. But for now, all I want here is for Kimberly and her children to be safe. And for my son, Nathan, well obviously, his attitudes are something to be worried. I will suggest checking a psychiatrist for him." Mr. Conner specified."Uncle, there's no need for that. He didn't do that on purpose and right now Nathan feels more pain than any of us!" Henry disapproved."I told you Nielsen..." Mrs. Conner interrupts."Henry... look at this point... being jealous is not a valid reason to almost kill your wife!" But Mr. Conner was determined."The woman he met..." Henry started freezing everyone while waiting for his next word. "Give him these." he handed them the pictures. "While you and Kimberly were at the park, and as he describes, sweet moment." he look at Andy."How could
The next day, Sunday, seventh day since Mrs. Aston died; Andy's final decision is to bury her beside his father's grave, Xander. It was her last will and thanks to his brother-in-law Nathan for preparing it. Everyone from Will and Grill Restaurant, Conner Marketing Corporation, staff and doctors from the hospital, some friends are all in white dress and polo, some wear black like Mrs. Conner and Doctor Rebecca. Nathan and Andy both wear white polo and shades. As the interment move on all women cried emotionally. Andy cried softly, grieving. Until left alone in front of his mother's grave."Andy...." a small voice from a very familiar person echoed behind him; he put his eyebrows up."What are you doing here?" Andy asks without moving on his seat."I'm sorry... I didn't know it will end into this..." she cried."You know her condition!" Andy glared at her."Andy, I just want to threaten you and... come back to me..." she explained."I'm in mi
"I'm not a God, Kimberly." He was frustrated."But you should at least wait for me to wake before you buried her..." she insists."It was A____" Nathan paused as he thought it would be better if she didn't learn that it was Andy who decided it until she gave birth. He don't want her to get mad at Andy with her condition right now. "Sorry... but it's been a week, your mom suffered for almost six years... I just thought that it was not right to let her suffer more." Nathan still took all the responsibility in blaming himself for everything that happened."I hate you for doing that! I hate you because you didn't give me the chance to mourn for my mom." Kimberly was a bit mad."Sorry..." he repeated."If only my first customer in the pub house was not wealthy as you...I guess it will be easy for me to accept that mom died because of another reason... if you haven't found me that rainy night with those guys who paid for me ___" she speaks in pain more.
They were both quiet as they left alone. Kimberly's eyes are on the floor while Nathan stares at her feeling so hurt and guilty."Where are the divorce papers?" she asked still not looking at his face."Here" he handed to her the envelope."Where would I sign?""Kimberly, why don't we go out for dinner first?" Nathan changed the topic."Sorry, but I can't go anywhere else... the doctor advice me to stay in bed." She refused/"I'll just call for delivery, what do you want to eat?" he offered."Nothing... thank you, is this where I sign?" she repeated the question."You should eat first." He insists."Please!" her tone raised and finally glance at his sad eyes that weaken her as tears fell suddenly on her cheeks."Kimberly..." Nathan kneels down in front of her."Why? Why did you choose her? You said you'll wait__" she cried."What do you mean?" Nathan strokes her face, wiping her tears."
"How are you? Did you visit her?" Henry started."I can't. I must obey Doctor Isaac, it's for Kimberly sake." Nathan shakes head while staring nowhere."I don't think so." Henry disagreed so Nathan glance at him."She's so mad at me Henry...giving back everything I gave her." Nathan sighed."How about your kidney? Did you tell her about it? Can she bring it back?" Henry retorted."Henry___" Nathan was surprised, he almost forget about it."C'mon Nathan, she just can't leave you... yes you're an idiot but you almost gave everything only for her." He insists."It's because I love her... I love her all my life... I've never love anyone else like this before__" Nathan said sadly."I know, that's why I want you to visit Kimberly... you deserve to be with her...you just need to explain your side.""But how about Andy?""You don't have to say anything about Andy...just tell her about the charitable institution was only you and y
After injecting sedative on Kimberly she fall back to sleep and Andy started asking Henry about Kimberly's condition. But before he could speak Nathan was calling him over the phone."See you at my office." He said. "It's Nathan and he was asking the same question. Let's go." He added and they walk back to his office."What happened Henry?" Nathan quickly ask as they enter the room."We need to call back the Psychiatrist. Perhaps it's the ASD symptoms. All I can say right now is she still not in good shape." Henry speaks sadly."But yesterday were okay. She even asked me to sleep beside her." Nathan asked."Yes, yesterday was a miracle but as you can see a while ago it's different... she was still scared of you. The trauma is still right there." Henry explained."So what should we do?" Andy asked."Like I said she need to see the Psychiatrist again, it's the best way we can do now." Henry answered."But what if I tell her the t
Knock knock knock"Excuse me Sir Nathan." Amy enters the room. "Sir your ticket to Manchester arrived." She politely said."Cancel the flight." Nathan commanded. "Are you guys coming with me?" He turned to Henry and Andy."Thank you." Andy offers his hand to Nathan. "Brother." He added."I'll make up to you for all the trouble I caused you...one day... because right now, she needs us." Nathan politely answered and take Andy's hand shake."Finally." Henry blurred out."I'll pick up your mom first, will just follow you at the hospital." Mr. Conner said.The three of them decided to ride on Henry's car together."Andy, I'm curious about what happen to the calling card Mr. Xander gave you? Did you find the person?" Henry asked as he was driving the car. Andy was at the backseat while Nathan glance at Henry since he was quiet beside him."I did my best to contact the person until I memorize the numbers, however I got tired of
Kimberly gently open her eyes as the sun rise and the rays gently touches her skin.."WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" she shouted terrifying both Andy and Nathan."What happened Kimberly?" Nathan was shocked and about to reach her as she was standing near the window."DON'T COME NEAR ME!" she shouted again."Kimberly?!' Andy run quickly towards her."Andy... why is he here? He's a monster..." she cried and embraced him tightly."What's happening?" the door open and it was Henry and Meagan."Why is he here? I don't want to see him Andy? I don't want to see him!?" she continued now shaking."Nathan, I think you should go." Henry suggested."But..." Nathan was still puzzled on the way Kimberly act."But Doctor Henry__" even Andy was confused but Henry shakes his head to stop him from talking."Leave now, Nathan." Henry said in command and all Nathan could do is to sighed."Give her sedative." Henry whispered

"Dad?!" Nathan turned to his father with a questioning stare."Nathan, perhaps you were really young when you are with Xander... that you didn't notice the resemblance..." his father speaks in pain. "The first time I met Andy at the hospital I thought Xander was reincarnated, he look exactly like him... a carbon copy..." his father explain."Does Kimberly knows about this?" Nathan asked to Andy."Yes, I threaten her before you got married that I will tell mom the truth about my identity___" Andy said but Nathan interrupts."Why didn't she tell me? She knew how jealous I am to you." Nathan felt unease."Kimberly wanted Mom first to know... we already talk about it when she get back alone from your honeymoon." Andy explained."But Jesebelle gets in the way and she run to Mrs. Aston and tell everything." Henry speaks again. "But I don't think that the news will cause Mrs. Aston's heart attack... Since it involve her ex-husband whom she truly lo
"Nathan___" Henry speaks again but Nathan quickly dial his phone."I need security, NOW!" he shouted."For heaven sake Nathan, would you please listen?!" Henry said almost shouting."Listen! You have no idea what happen__" but Nathan didn't stop shouting."I know! I already knew!" Henry shouted back."So you're on his side now ha! Henry?" Nathan glared."Sir Nathan?" then there's a knock at the door."Take this man out!" Nathan commanded at the guard pointing at Andy."No! Let go off me!" Andy struggled. "I just wanted to talk!" he added."What's going on here?" Mr. Conner senior came out as the commotion was very loud."Uncle, I'm glad you came." Henry felt a bit ease."Let go off him." Mr. Conner order as he saw Andy struggling with the security."So here we go again... you won't listen to me Dad even if I want that shit out of here!" Nathan mocked."Watch your word Nathan!' his father warne
