After I came, Enver immediately took wet wipes and wiped his face which was wet with my juice. After that, he also wiped my womanhood after lying down next to me.

"Let's sleep for a while," he said hugged me tightly, and kissed my forehead. "I will make you feel good later."

"W-what about you?" I will ask.

"I know you're still weak because of the intensity of your release, so it would be better if you rest first," he said laughing while caressing my heart. "Gather your strength because later, I'll make sure you won't be able to walk as much as I'm going to do to you."

I just buried my face in his chest and hugged him tightly.

I didn't do this with him for several months because when he was drunk he always turned his back on me while sleeping. When I hug him from behind, he will suddenly push my hand away so I don't push anymore.

"I am sorry," he said softly.

“Hmm?” I raised my face so that our gaze met. "Sorry for what?"

"I know I've neglected you these past few months," he said. "Do not worry. I'll make it up to you."

I don't know why I was suddenly nervous when he apologized. The way he said it was as if he had committed a great sin against me.

"I love you." He kissed my forehead and lips again.

"I love you too."

__________

This time, Enver was sleeping soundly, so I slowly removed his hand from hugging me when I got out of bed.

I went straight to the bathroom to wash my body and when I returned to our room I just stared at my husband.

I couldn't sleep because of his sudden apology earlier. The tone of his speech was as if his apology had other content.

But I don't know how to get rid of the nervousness I feel at this time.

And that's when my eyes landed on his cell phone that was resting on the table.

My chest started heaving because I could only think of one thing to do at this time.

But I'm not in the habit of checking his cell phone especially since I still give him his privacy anyway.

But right now, I can't think of that anymore.

I took a deep breath as I approached Enver's cell phone. I stared at it for a while before I finally decided to grab it and take it inside the bathroom to look at its contents.

I even took a few deep breaths because my chest was pounding hard before I plucked up the courage and opened his cell phone.

I set the pin code when we bought this cell phone and I'm thankful that he hasn't changed it yet so it was easy for me to open it.

I first looked at the messages application he uses for work. Here I only saw messages from his secretary and investors.

Next, I looked at his phonebook and I didn't see anything unusual in the names of the people there. I just know him and some of his co-workers.

I even looked at his gallery but I didn't see anything that wasn't normal. So I went through every application that his cell phone had until I found one file.

I was a little hesitant to open it because I was afraid of what I might see there but I plucked up my courage and opened it with my eyes closed.

And I don't know if I should regret what I did because what just happened to me was something that destroyed not only my heart but also my entire personality.

__________

"Are you sure about this?" Ferry, one of the two friends I have, asked me.

I am here now in her car that just arrived here at our house. She was the first person I called after I saw the contents of the files on my husband's cell phone.

"You know that I won't ask for anything besides this one, right?" she said. "I don't need to ask why you suddenly called me and thought of leaving your husband now. I know that you have your reasons. But at least tell me that this is what you want.”

She is my friend but I am not ready to tell her what Enver did to me. I am not ready to let other people know about the sin my husband has committed against me because I know they are on my side and that is not what I want.

It's okay for me to be the one to be angry with him. It's okay for me to be the only one who hates him. I don't need to get my friends to be angry with him because I can't let the people who are important in my life hate him.

So when I called Ferry earlier, I didn't tell her anything other than to come to our house, which she immediately did.

She was even a little surprised when I came out of the house with a suitcase but she didn't ask anymore, especially since I knew she also immediately noticed my puffy eyes.

"I..." I don't know what to say to her because I know that I don't want to do this.

But after what I saw, I couldn't bear to stay under the same roof with the man I thought would never hurt me.

She sighed. "Fine, you don't have to answer that." She started the engine of his car and immediately drove it away from our home.

And the only thing I could do was watch it until it completely disappeared from my sight.

I know I will regret my decision because I didn't even say goodbye to him but I also know it will only hurt me more if I stay by his side despite the things he has done.

    It has been five years since I left my home. And I will admit that until now I have not been able to move on from the pain caused by that man but I had a new reason to continue living. A lot has happened in those five years. I also completely resigned from my job and decided to go to a place where no one knew me. With Ferry's help, I ended up in a place I knew Enver would never go so the new life I wanted for myself would be quiet. I built a small cafeteria near a candy factory, and I made good money because I was in the right place. I have had many customers who work at the factory, and they have all been kind to me, so as time goes by I am also becoming comfortable with the changes that are happening in my life. One of them is Mikea Reese, a line leader at the factory. She was the first customer of my cafeteria, and she always ate there. We also live close to each other, and we often go home together every night which is why we became close until we became friends. But just t

    And because Mikea wanted to be sure that I would accompany her where he was going, she arrived at the very time that I was closing my cafeteria. "I told Paige and he agreed to stay outside until 10 p.m.," Mikea said after I locked the gate of the cafeteria. "So don't worry about your house, okay?" I just held my breath. She already took care of everything from my house just to make sure that I wouldn't get a chance to escape. "Yeah, sure." I put the key in my bag before approaching her. "Let's just make sure we don't go past ten o'clock at night, huh? I will pinch your cheeks if you don't go home when I ask." She smiled and held my arm. "Don't worry. I know you can't go past that time, so I promise, we will go home right away." “Good.” This one is easy to talk to so it is not bad that I give her a chance now. Besides, she also rarely has a day off and such opportunities are rare for her to do. "Then, let's go to the night market and eat a lot!" she happily said and I just laughed

  • Second Time Around   Chapter 6

    Woah!I have been to numerous night markets before when I was still in college because my ex was such a foodie, but I never really expected that this night market has its charm that attracts a lot of people.They serve different cuisines, and they have a twist in it that makes it easier to eat since they put it in a to-go box with a fixed cup in the bottom. In that way, those people who want to keep strolling around the market can still eat.And aside from food stalls, there are also stalls here for entertainment. Most of it is for games where the winners can win prizes such as stuffed toys, sweets, and many more.That is why this place is not only for adults to enjoy. Even kids will surely love being here.If only I knew that there was something here like this, I would probably bring Millie along so she could also enjoy this place.“I told you, you will love it here,” Mikea said. “And you might learn one or two dishes that you can add to your menu.”Well, she is not wrong on that one

    “Seriously?” Dashiel was shocked when I told him that I met Mikea at the night market where we went last night.He went here in my office first thing in the morning to nag at me because I left him there, but I immediately shut him up with that.“Yeah,” I said. “We coincidentally met at the exit of the market.”“Is she alone?”I shook my head. “She is with someone. He introduced him to me as her friend. His name is Francis.”“Oh.”Well, I am aware that Mikea is the reason why Dashiel kept going here even though he doesn't work here. He likes my secretary though I don’t know when and where they met because it is clear to me that they already knew each other before Mikea applied to my company.“She will come here later so you can just ask her about what happened on her day off,” I said. “Now, tell me what is the news of the deal that we had yesterday.”“Ah…” He took out something from his pocket and put it on my table. “You can call him at that number and set a date yourself when you are

  • Second Time Around   Chapter 8

    I always open my cafeteria only for half a day whenever it is Sunday. The factory is closed and most of my customers are all employees there, which is why only a few people are visiting my place.So, I closed at noon and made sure that my helper was able to get home. And after that, I decided to go home.And while I was approaching the apartment where I rented a unit, I frowned when I saw that most of my neighbors were outside, whispering about something.There are also ambulances and that made me nervous so I immediately ran toward there thinking that something was going on in my house.And when I finally reached the gate of the compound, I saw Mikea’s mother, Michelle, was unconsciously lying down on the ambulance stretcher. Beside her is Mikea’s sister, Michaella, who was crying.“What happened here?” I asked Lucile, one of my neighbors who was also curious about what was happening. “Why is Michelle unconscious?”“She had a heart attack,” she answered. “Michaella said her mother ha

    Enver Andrius’ PovMikea asked for an emergency leave for the rest of the day because she got a call from the hospital where her mother was admitted.I don’t know the whole story since I didn’t pry on that and just let her leave early.But I didn’t expect that as soon as she left, Dashiel arrived at my office and he was getting on my nerves because he didn’t have a chance to see her.“Why, Eh?” he asked. He is holding his chest as if he was hurt. “Why did you let her leave without even waiting for me?”I shook my head.This one is dramatic.“You should at least tell me.”“She got a call from the hospital,” I said.That made him stop his drama and immediately sat in the vacant chair. “What happened?”“I don’t know the details but it looks like her mother got a heart attack,” I said. “It might be complicated because she was crying while asking for emergency leave. So I think she might also not be here until tomorrow.”“But you will need her for the rest of the week, right?” he said. “Sh

    I didn’t know how things got into this kind of situation.Yes, I said that I want to help Mikea but why do they think of a way like this? I mean, can’t they think of any other way besides this one?“Are you sure about that, Mikea?” I asked.Her boss gave his permission so she can take an indefinite leave but there are some conditions that she needs to settle. That is why she came here to my house to tell me all about it.Her boss also visited her mother yesterday but we never had a chance to meet because I left the hospital early because of Millie.“That is what my boss said,” she said. “I need to find someone who will replace me temporarily as his secretary if I want to take a leave for as long as I need without giving up my job.”I pointed at myself. “And you choose me?”She immediately nodded.Just like what they talked about, she can take an indefinite leave and she can go back to her job in the same position as long as she can find someone who can fill her job while she is gone.

  • Second Time Around   Chapter 11

    I felt nervous as soon as we entered the building where the Raiden Car Shop was located. And it looks like Mikea noticed that which is why she decided to roam around the building before we went straight to her boss’ office.And to be honest, the amusement that I am feeling while learning about the whole company is overwhelming my nervousness.I just learned that this company is giving full benefits to its employees, especially when it comes to health benefits. They also have entertainment facilities that only the employee can use, but of course, only when they are off duty.Aside from that, they are giving free meals, from breakfast up to midnight snacks to everyone which only a few companies have implemented. And the salary is great.That is why I am not surprised to know that there are a lot of people who want to be part of this great company.Even those people that were assigned to the production area also have the privilege to use the facility in the building.“This place is such

    “How long do we have to walk like this?” I asked Ferry and Castiel while guiding me as I walked with blindfolds in my eyes. They told me earlier that they had a surprise for me so I had to keep it like this until we arrived at our destination.I just got from Amethyst’s parents and I talked to them about what we can do to help her in facing her situation. They are also worried about the future of their daughter so they decided to cooperate with me after ensuring that the process will never hurt her.After we discussed that, my friends picked me up and drove away. Before we could even arrive at our destination, they put this blindfold on me.“We are getting close so please relax there,” Ferry said.“But we have been like this for hours,” I complained. “Why did you even think of giving a sudden surprise?”“It is not our idea,” Castiel said. “Though we chipped in some ideas we were not the mastermind of this. It was your husband who proposed this surprise for you.”“I guess he took advan

    I never really imagined that this kind of thing would happen right in front of my eyes. When I was here, together with Enver’s family. Having a nice and chill conversation with them, without pretending that they like me.For the first time, I feel like I am part of this family and they finally accepted me as their son’s wife.After we finished our dinner, we decided to continue our conversation in the living room. We took our drinks with us and I offered them to stay here for tonight because I know that they also want to catch up with Enver.Ferry went home a little while ago. Lainz didn't want her to stay late so he went here to pick her up. Castiel decided not to join us here to give us more time to be with each other and she went upstairs to sleep in one of the guest rooms I prepared for her.Enver and I were having a conversation with his siblings, while his parents were busy with Millie and they were unwrapping their gifts for her.“What?” Enver said to his siblings. “Enish divor

    I thought Enver would refuse to have a talk with his family to settle their issue. But that didn’t happen and I couldn’t help but smile when I saw him guiding them in the garden where they were going to talk.Millie and I started preparing the dining table because we would eat our dinner after their conversation.“Eh? Seriously?” Ferry said after Castiel told her that my in-laws said sorry to me. “Are they even sincere?” She looked at me. “Not just some scheme because they are afraid to upset you because they know that you have the power to forbid them from approaching Millie again.”“That is the first thing that came to my mind earlier.” I put a plate full of kiwi with a side sauce of spicy ketchup in front of her. This is what she has been craving for ever since she got pregnant. “It feels like they were sincere. And Erwin vouch for that.”“Oh well,” Castiel said. “It doesn’t really matter now if they were sincere or not. They already experienced such shame because of their evil sch

    “Are you even breathing?” Castiel whispered to me while we were looking at the car that stopped in front of our house. “You don’t have to be nervous, right? They were just your in-laws.”I glared at her. “I am not nervous.” I rolled my eyes. “I am just composing myself to avoid the awkwardness that we might feel later.” I turned my attention to the car when Enver opened it.He was the one who greeted our guest outside the gate. Ferry stayed inside while Castiel and I stood in front of the door, together with Millie who was holding my hand.Don Emil and Madame Venice came out of the car, with their usual posture. Well, I guess not a lot of people can change after a long time.They were carrying a lot of paper bags, marked with luxury brands, and I think it contained toys that they were going to give to Millie.She chuckled. “If you say so,” she said. “But I didn’t expect that they would also bring two of Enver’s siblings.” We both turned our eyes to the other car that just arrived and

    I locked myself inside the bathroom while looking at the five pregnancy test kits that Castiel bought earlier.I already got its result and it all showed the same thing. And I am overwhelmed with the emotions that I am feeling right now.I do have a plan to conceive another child if Enver agrees because I really want Millie to have a sibling. But I didn’t expect that heaven would immediately answer my desire.Yes, I am pregnant. The five test kits in front of me showed positive signs.“Milan!” Ferry shouted outside the door. “Your husband is here. And your maids already told him that you have been locking yourself up inside there. So, don’t be shocked if he tries to destroy this door.”I grabbed two of the test kits and opened the door. At the same time, Enver also entered the room with concern in his eyes.“What is happening here?” he asked. He came to me but before he could hold me, I immediately showed him the result of the one test kit.He frowned as he looked at that but didn’t s

    “Mommy!”I slowly opened my eyes and I saw Millie jumping on top of our bed while calling me.“Wake up, Mommy! It is already morning.” She stopped jumping when she saw that I was already awake and she sat beside me. “Good morning, my beautiful mommy.” She kissed my cheeks. “Daddy is preparing our breakfast.”I smiled and pulled her closer to me. “Let’s sleep some more, baby.” I kissed her neck and tickled her side which made her laugh.“Mom! Don’t tickle me!” She tried to get away from me but I hugged her tight so she couldn't do anything but laugh. “Mommy! Please stop!”“Hey…”I stopped tickling Millie and we both turned our heads at the door. We saw Enver entering the room with a tray full of food in his hand. We immediately got up and took the pillow out of his way.“Breakfast in bed for my lovely ladies.” He put the tray in bed and kissed Millie and my forehead. “Let’s eat here so you don’t have to get up.”“Well, I am still sleepy but this little lady woke me up to have breakfast

    Everyone was happy after our vacation. And I can see that it lifted everyone’s spirit as we came back to our work. It really helped us to refresh our mind and body so I was thinking of making it an annual tradition.Our workload is also back to normal. We are not on a hectic schedule anymore so it is also normal that everyone is relaxing at their station.Mikea was taking care of the fourth branch and other errands that needed to be done outside while I was taking care of the paperwork that Enver needed to sign.We decided to switch jobs so she could learn more things about the industry and everything she needed to learn about Raiden. She said that it would help her grow more and become a more reliable secretary.And it is not really a problem for me. Actually, it is more in favor of my side since if I file on leave, she can work even though she is alone. I don’t have to worry about her as she can handle her work as Enver’s secretary.“You are filling a leave?” Mikea frowned after see

    After a while, we decided to go back to Millie and our friends. I am already feeling alright so I think we can’t let this vacation go to waste just because of me.Millie immediately approached us as soon as she saw us. She ambushed us with a tight hug and I know that it is her way of saying that she is worried about me.So, I gave her a lot of kisses to let her know that I was okay.Enver lifted her and brought her to the seaside and played with the other kids and guys there. And I went to Ferry and Castiel who were only sitting in the sun lounge.“Did you tell him everything?” Ferry asked me.I sat beside them and shook my head. “I just told him the minor details.” I fixed my eyes on Enver and Millie while playing in the sea. “Not that I don’t want to tell him but my headache keeps attacking me whenever I dive too deep into my memories of that incident.” I sighed and turned my head to them. “And because of that, he stopped asking and didn’t force me to say anything else.

He said that I should just rest and stopped me from going back downstairs since Millie would surely be okay together with Ferry and Castiel.I didn’t complain because I know that I really need some time to rest. I almost passed out earlier because of my headache and I can’t just ignore it.“Are you sure you are okay?” Enver asked after giving me a glass of water. “We can go to the resort’s infirmary.”I shook my head and drank the water before giving it back to him. “I just need a few minutes rest and I will be perfectly fine.”He sighed and sat beside me. “I am sorry for bringing it up. I didn’t expect that this would happen to you.”“It is okay,” I assure him. “You have the right to know about this because it is part of my past. I just can’t really tell it to you in detail because I keep getting a headache from trying to remember everything.”“Don’t worry about that, Mi.” He caressed my cheeks. “Just rest.”“If you want to know the detail
