The next morning Jewel woke up late 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 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, Fuck baby, Yeah that's it! Fuck me harder. Oh shit.." the woman claimed 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 minutes later 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 that she had just woken 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.
"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 to complain for the sake that Thunder might get mad. They continue their way out as if she wasn't there. Instead of following them she just went back inside her room and lay 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 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 was already afternoon when she finished cleaning and cooking food for dinner but still, but 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 was late at night but still Thunder didn't come 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 red and limp 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 was 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 blanket. She just stared at her husband's handsome face, she could only do it when Thunder was already asleep because when he was awake he was 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 about every possible outcome if she could be happy or in pain or achieve what she desires.
"I hope the day comes that you'll love me. I'll wait for that day and when that day comes I will be probably the happiest woman,"
Not even once she thought of stepping aside and leaving her husband even if everyone thinks of her as 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. She lay down and stared at the ceiling unexpectedly. She remembered their first conversations the night after their wedding. They were at the hotel that night, and as soon as they entered the room Thunder immediately overtook her arms harshly.
"Ouch! Thunder hurts!" she exclaimed 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 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 blurted out.
Anger and hatred lingered in Thunders's 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 to." 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 not come to the wedding!" she answered.
"For what? For me to take all the blame? 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 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's face that is already burning with 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 my last name but never my love and heart, put that in your small mind. " He said before leaving her in their hotel suite.
It was the day that he put all the blame 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 for someday.
Drowsiness visited her as soon as she closed her eyes.
Thunder was in his office that was owned by his parents, after he got married to Jewel he inherited his father's company.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 the women he got in bed with are the ones showing some interest and motive they want to be taken by him. He also thinks that he would rather go to the bar or be with his woman than go home early. He doesn't want his day to be ruined seeing Jewel's face. He couldn't stop but get angry knowing that because of her he was tied up to a marriage he never dreamed of. He also thinks that Jewel planned all of it because she has feelings for him. If this is what Jewel wants then she will never succeed. Thu
Her eyes are swollen and red like a tomato as she arrives at the Light Bar. It's kinda early that's why she enters only a few people are there. She sat on the vacant counter bar and ordered a tequila and started to drink while reminiscing about what she witnessed in her husband's office. As she remember it 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 gladly take it. She felt so much pain that it was unbearable. She wants to erase in her mind what she saw but she can't. It's like a song that's continuing to play and play. 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 t
The next day I woke up to the sun's rays and kissed my bare face through my window. I rub my eyes and get up from bed, I can feel the swelling of her chin, and does not choose to mind it. I hastened to see if my husband was awake, I knocked several times but no one responded. I slowly opened the door and found no one. The masculine scent perfume of my husband filled my nose the moment I was inside the room. I meandered the room to make sure my husband was nowhere and all I could see was the messed up bed and those bottles of empty alcohol. I cleaned the room and fixed the messy bed by replacing a new pillow, bed sheets, and blanket. After cleaning everything I left the room, goes downstairs, and cooks food for breakfast. I was busy cutting ingredients for my Afritada when my phone rang. I promptly answered the call when I saw it was my best friend calling. "Calli!" I yawp. I heard her laugh over the phone, " Hey, Mercyl miss me?" Calli responded. "So damn much best! How's your lif
@Cafe "It's not that too obvious that you did 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 looking 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 jet lag?" 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
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 as 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 marveled at who was 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 on the cheeks. "Mom, Dad! What are you doing here? Why di
As Jewel planned, 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 is coming. "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 plans 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 minutes later he had already finished his food, he stood up and took the coffee with him to the living room. A big smile formed on Jewel's lips as soon as Thunder left. She's buoyant about how her day started without arguing with her husband. Righ
It's been 3 weeks since the lunch gathering with Thunders's 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 regular habit, a drunkard, a womanizer, and most of all not minding about her presence but good thing he never brings her woman into 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 become 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 t
The next day Jewel woke up with crapulence. She sat on her bed reminiscing about everything that happened last night 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 was forlorn about it, she did change a lot. She was once a classy woman, well-groomed, fair skin, elegant, and with no trace of bruises antithetical to the 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 her outfit. She even used the violet sling bag that made everything suit her perfectly. She's about to go when her phone rings. She took her phone from her bag and looked
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. The couple's friends knew that it would be difficult for Storm to accept what had happened especially since he was close to his parents, unlike his youngest sister Kiara who was still young and did not yet know what was going on. And now they are together to take the two to their final destination. All you can hear around you are people's cries because of the grief and pain that their family is feeling. Their other relatives we
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. At first, they didn't want to accept it because they didn't need it anymore a few times they were left alone and sometimes with their children but Jewel's mommy insisted so at the end they agreed. "We will leave you first and maybe when we come 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, the latter 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 o
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. After all, 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 occasional 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. After all, their parents gave them a gift so they can have time with each other. They 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 plans, because they left for groceries.Jewel is currently in the car because they just finished shopping w
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 be coming 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 shout coming 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, and Jewel felt his trembling. When they got down, it was good and their driver was also there,
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 Marga coming back with them and she also asked for a favor to include Granny with them because she said she no longer has a family 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 them 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
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 staring at me. I 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 explained 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 the last 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 nodd
Jewel POV I quickly entered the room after I turned my back on Thunder, the truth is that I was 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 blame me because if he was in my place 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 happen
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. "Oh Marga, you're here. I thought you'd come home late." 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 the laughter of the two inside so I was even more nervous. "Jewel, Granny, he's already here." I get the attention of them both. Jewel'
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 so they can get along. I stared at my phone a few more times before pressing
