Ch. 1: What People Don't Know

Natalie Hills thought about her perfect life as it is to everyone who viewed it from outside. She is the gorgeous and sexy wife of a famous billionaire. What else is there for her to worry about if not to enjoy and swim in riches? 

She was supposed to be happy, and feel fulfilled, instead of allowing emptiness and loneliness to overwhelm her, but she couldn't ignore the obvious.

Admiring the spectacular view through the window, she thought about how the beautiful scenery outside is shading the raging storm inside her heart.

She was supposed to feel on top of the world because she is living her dreams, but the secrets lurking around the house she has been marrying herself in for the past two years are too big to ignore. 

She turned around and slowly walked to the middle of the living room and stared at the television, where her husband, Oscar Georges, was being interviewed by the press. 

She should be proud and boastful about the fact that her husband is a handsome, gentle and famous billionaire, but she wasn't. She rather felt exhausted and sick of her life in general.

Hissing, she set the glass of wine she held on the center table, took her phone and dialed her friend's number. It was high time she told someone about her married life.

While she placed the phone on her left ear and turned to stare at her faint reflection on the glass window, she remembered the last day she saw her childhood sweetheart, Archer, who happens to be her husband's brother.

They all went to summer camp. She was the only outsider in the midst of the wealthy and famous Georges family, invited by her friend, Aria, the only daughter of the Georges. 

The two brothers, Oscar and Archer, had fought, but no one cared to listen to the two sides of the story. They took Oscar's word and shushed Archer. He was the illegitimate son after all, so he angrily left the camp.

She didn't expect him to give up so easily. She expected him to at least think about her and not leave, but he left without even leaving a message for her. She was heartbroken and cried all night, since then, she never saw him again.

He said he loved her, and he made so many promises, but they were all lies. He didn't look back when he walked out of her life and he never reached out to her again.

"Hey, Natalie!" Stephanie's voice interrupted her thoughts. It was a good thing she picked up at the right time before she recalled more painful days after his disappearance.

"Stephanie Howard, where on Earth have you been for the past few weeks?" Natalie wanted to sound enthusiastic to hear her friend's voice after so many weeks, but her cracking voice gave her in. 

"That voice… Natalie, are you okay?" Stephanie asked worriedly.

She could see her friend's face frowning and eyes filled with worry. It is like Stephanie notices her sadness even though she can't see the tears that have formed in her eyes. 

She is that friend that she could trust with anything and that is why she has to tell her what has been eating her up. 

"I'm not fine," She replied with a croaky voice.

"Should I come over?" 

"I would love that. I have a lot to tell you, Steph." Natalie broke into tears. 

Her world is shattering. It has been crumbling from the day she turned ten years old, but she has been ignoring it until two years ago when her heart started ripping apart. She's slowly drifting away without knowing. She needs a shoulder to lean on.

"Are you crying, Nat?" Stephanie's sigh brought a smile to her gloomy face.

"Hey, don't worry about me, you know how tough I am. Let's see when you come. Okay?" Natalie tried to cheer herself up.

"Alright. See ya," 

"Yeah." Natalie cut the call and sank into a chair.

She picked the glass of wine again and drained it. She laughed throatily at herself as she went through the memory lane again. The most painful part of her life.

Having a drunk and a gambler as a father and a drug addict as a mother, she has never felt really happy her entire life. She didn't know that she was a collateral for the huge amount of money that the Georges loaned them.

She promised herself that she would only marry a man that would always be there for her when she needs him. Someone that will stay by herself when it is storming out and kiss her fears away. Someone that would never do anything to hurt her.

It turned out that she must've watched a lot of love movies and read too many fantasy books that she couldn't discern reality and beautification to work of literature created to entertain. She was just a bait. 

She didn't want love. She believed that anyone who wanted a good man and still hoped for true love is being greedy. She chose to have only the good man because, together they can build their love, by starting with trust and care as foundation. 

She is more like a prisoner in her husband's house. Many single women out there who envy her don't know that she envies their freedom. She is living in bondage, she has always been and that seems to be her destiny.

She stood up shakily, feeling light-headed and dizzy, she swayed, fell back to the seat, then pushed herself up again and quietly went to the kitchen.

What is the use of all these luxuries when she is not enjoying them? If she had the power to rewrite her life, she wouldn't have chosen this hell she is living in. 

This luxurious estate. The big and fancy mansion she resides in. Soaring ceilings, large windows with postcard perfect views flooded with natural light, grand entrance, multiple fireplace and meticulously maintained multi-million mansion.

Of course there are the expansive outdoor spaces such as gardens and swimming pools. The guest houses, wine cellars, video room, home gyms, lounge, ballroom, patio and live-in quarters designated for staff, cooks, gardeners, laundress, drivers, armed guards and other household workers all in one multi-million estate.

She is the queen of this territory, but she is not satisfied. So many things are missing in her life and that is why she must find a way to disentangle herself from the mess or remain a prisoner of the Georges forever.

As she set the empty wine glass on the kitchen counter and turned to retrace her steps, she saw a man standing in the doorway, hands in pockets, eyes fixed on her and a bag hung over one shoulder. 

Archer! Her eyes widened first, her lips patted, hands rose to clutch her racing heart, and head pounding as if she was being hit with a pestle. She swayed, this time, nothing held her as she bumped her head on the counter and instantly went unconscious.

Archer hated to meet Natalie again in such a state. He left without saying goodbye to her because he knew that he was only going to keep hurting her. He was no good and he had nothing, so there was no way he was going to be able to take care of her the way she deserved.

It has been ten years since he last saw her, but he remembers his first love. He never forgot the smell of her, and the way she smiles as if she had nothing to worry about. The way she cried when she can't hold it in anymore and how he says his name breathlessly.

He couldn't come back or try to reach her because he knew that she was going to be traded for money by her broke parents. She didn't deserve that, but he couldn't help her and that was one of the many reasons why he ran away like a coward. 

He hoped to make a lot of money someday and come to rescue her, but ten years have already passed and he has nothing to call his own. He is a loser. He has always been in the family that he never felt belonged.

Seeing her faint in front of him like that, pain ripped through his heart and he realized that he has been wrong and selfish all along. He could have done more than run away because she didn't faint because of shock, but the pain she has been holding inside for the past ten years.

He hurriedly carried her into the living room, laid her on the couch and called her name. Her eyes fluttered open and tears streamed down the corners of her eyes. 

"Archer," She whispered softly, eyes locked with his as he cradled her head. 

"Ma'am, are you okay?" 

Archer didn't know when the woman came inside and the way she looked at him told him that she didn't trust him around Natalie. He didn't blame her for being wary of him since she didn't know their story.

Judith, her private chef, stepped into the room and sent him another long disdainful look before she talked softly to Natalie. When she looked at him again, she asked him what he did to her.

"I'm fine, Judith. He actually helped me when I fell and hit my head on the kitchen counter." Natalie told her.

"You fell?"

"Who fell?"

Ch. 2: Welcome Back To Reality
Stephanie rushed into the room, throwing her handbag aside. She looked at Archer surprisingly before turning her attention back to her friend. She needn't ask further questions seeing Archer beside Natalie.Archer straightened up, picked up his own bag and shifted from the couch so that the ladies tended to Natalie. His eyes skimmed through the living room, pausing twice to stare at a portrait of Natalie and Oscar on their wedding day. She was smiling, but her dark eyes were clouded by sadness. His heart tightened at the thought of what came after the wedding. The thought of Oscar making love to Natalie makes him want to puke. His eyes slid to another picture of them placed beside the television, Oscar's arm was around her waist, but she folded her hands around her lower abdomen, staring down at her wrist. Then he noticed the bracelet he had made for her resting securely on her wrist, she was gazing at it while her husband held her. He had made it and gifted it to her on the second

Ch. 3: Trapped In Hell
Natalie and Stephanie sprang up at once. As Oscar jammed the door behind him, he moved forward, fixing a fierce stare at Natalie who was drawn to tears. If he heard everything, then she is dead."Hey, honey! Why are you on edge? Is this how you welcome your husband home after such a long day? I can see your friend kept you company, possibly the reason why you didn't miss me." Oscar's sudden softness was another shock to them.Natalie opened her mouth, clamped it and moped at him. What was that? She could swear that he was angry and terrifying just now, but his features softened swiftly as if he wasn't the same man that just yelled at her. If he heard their conversation and decided to keep quiet, it must be because of Stephanie's presence. That is to say that it isn't over yet. When Stephanie leaves, she will face her punishment, but now, they have to deceive someone, probably unknown to him, already knows the truth, though not the whole truth about their marriage."I… We were just s

Ch. 5: Living In Bondage
Natalie missed a call from Stephanie and that was one thing that makes their friendship special and equally important to her. She also sent a message, just checking up on her to make sure she is okay.She was lucky because she was already in her bedroom, replying to Stephanie's text message when Oscar came back. He slanted her a suspicious look as he leaned against the door and watched her.She sent the text she wrote to Stephanie, then threw her phone aside and walked deliberately to the cabinet to bring out her nightgown. "I don't want her to visit you again. And I would love it if I stopped keeping in touch with her." He finally released the bomb he had been setting up."Who is that? Stephanie? Oscar, you know that is not fair! You stopped me from seeing my parents or even calling them, no matter who and what they are, they are still my parents, but I accepted that without complaint. No, you can't keep manipulating me like this. It's not possible with my best friend, please, cut t

Ch. 6: Painfully Healing Love
Without another word, Archer looked around for where to hide, but Natalie held him still and kissed him one last time before she pushed him down beside the bed and threw the bed sheet over him.He picked up her briefs and hid them in the closet, then threw her nightgown over her shoulder, tied the single rope around her waist as she unlocked the door. "What was that for?" Oscar barked, fuming as he pushed her aside."I didn't know you were going to come back. It's not like we sleep in the same bed, so I thought…""That doesn't mean that you should lock the door because I might come in anytime. This is my house and I have the right to come into this bedroom whenever I like! Got that?" He pointed a finger on her face.As she nodded, he saw the bedsheet heaped on the floor and frowned. "What is that doing on the floor?" "I felt lonely, so I hugged it to myself while I sat on the floor. I will spread it on the bed later." She gave a flimsy excuse, knowing fully well that nothing would m

Ch. 7: A Taste Of Pain
Natalie watched his jaw tighten and his muscles flex as he rubbed his palm at the back of his head, then scratched his forehead just like he always did whenever he's nervous. It is his habit whenever he's fighting something in because he doesn't want anyone to know."I told you that I have never lied to you. I don't have to tell you now. I need to…""Leave? Yeah, that's all that you are good at. Leaving. Walking away. Go and please, remember to shut the door behind you this time." She knew that she was going to shed tears, so she didn't look at him."Natalie, it's not like that. It's not…" "Fuck off!""Okay. If that makes you happy, then I will leave, but it's not yet over because I love you and I am not going to take a step without you again. Keep that in mind." He left the bed, wore his clothes and walked to the door.He turned to look at her again, wishing that they didn't have to part after having such a great time together in over ten years. While she thinks that he deliberately

Ch. 8: Slightly Swaying
Two days passed and Natalie didn't see Archer. She was worried, thinking that he must've been mad at her for ruining that night after they made love. And Oscar was always busy, so much that she brought up the conversation he said they would have and he totally ignored her. In the morning, he would be so serious talking to someone over the phone, and at night, he's replying to either mails, text messages or voice notes. She didn't push it, knowing that he might get angry and strangle her. She avoided him too, but wasn't oblivious to his activities at home. She also couldn't stay away from the boathouse as she constantly searched for Archer.If it was about whatever she had said, then she would apologize. If it had to do with whatever discussion he had with Oscar, then he had to say something to her and stop breaking her heart with his absence.If he can't stay with her, then he shouldn't have come back. She missed him even more than she did those years that she didn't see him at all.

Ch. 9: When Love Hurts
Archer felt Natalie's hands on his back as she also looked at Angelika whose hand was already on the railings as she carefully walked up to the balcony."Ma'am, I have tracked down the girl's location." A deep voice broke into the silence of the poolroom. Archer's eyes flew to look at Angelika's personal guard who paused to bow at a far end of the poolroom. "Good job. Let's go somewhere else and talk about this, Alex." She turned and retraced her steps. She paused to look at their direction twice before she finally left with Alex.Archer blew out a breath as Natalie sighed behind him. He told her that they can't go out yet since Angelika can be very sensitive. When he turned to look at her, he saw the fear in her eyes."You don't think she has seen us?" She swallowed, placing her head on his chest."Are you kidding me? She must've noticed that someone was here, but she didn't see us. These curtains are not transparent when you are looking from the outside." He assured her."What do

Ch. 10: When Love Lies
The reminiscences of that first day with Archer always brought a romantic warm pleasure surging through her."This is not right. You are going to put me into trouble. What if someone sees us? The principal might come in anytime. And look at everything, he would know that someone tampered with his… Archer, he would punish me and that would ruin my chances of coming back to school. My reputation is already ruined, but my pride…" She was just blabbering, but she couldn't put that into action until he bared her breasts and ran his fingers over her nipples, winking at her. "Trust me, nobody will find out because I will take the blame. Don't ask me how I plan to do that. If I get their attention, the students will have something new to talk about and ignore you." He said, snaking a finger into her skirt to pull her panties down."Archer, I have never done this before." She complained, crossing her arms over her breasts, suddenly feeling ashamed of herself naked in front of the opposite ge
