CHAPTER 3

Someone’s POV:

"Sir these are the reports of someone you asked me to investigate."

My secretary put the envelope that contains the files of the persons I told them to investigate on my table.

I nod at her before she went out.

I pick the black envelope and open it.

These are records of Cloud Miguel Salazar and his wife Abby Leonor Zegura-Salazar.

My jaw hardened while reading the files that contains the information about this two people. But eventually, I grinned when I remember the things I'm planning to do.

I grab my phone and call someone that I know will surely help me in all what I am planning.

"Hello?",

My smile widen when he answered the phone.

“It’s been so long David Alcantara”

The other line became silent but after a minute the person answered.

“What do you need?” He asked in. serious tone.

“Oh, You should asked me WHO I need instead of what I need Alcantara?"

I laughed when the call ended. Sooner or later everything will be good and my plan will be a success. You should all prepare when I came back. 

Angrily I strike of a small knife I am currently holding the face of Salazar and his wife.

"You will all going to pay!!"

Abby's POV:

5 months of being married to Cloud was hellish. Is it really true about the saying that even how hard it takes, you will accept for the sake of the man you love. It wasn't easy being a wife to Cloud Salazar. There was no time taht he will not hurt me physically but I was hurt emotionally. 

I slowly walk towards him, he was so adorable when he is sleeping.

He was lying on his stomach and peacefully sleeping. I gently caressed his face and I draw small circles using my fingers.

"I love you so much Cloud and it hurts me so much knowing that you cannot love me back. Because of my wants that you will love me, I accidentally ruined your life.

I’m so sorry my love but as long as I can take the pain, I will never gave up on you."

I gently kissed him on the cheek before I headed out of his room.

It was late two AM  in the morning but I can't still sleep. I keep on thinking that maybe if I wasn't that selfish and let Cloud marry his girlfriend, maybe they are both happily living their life now. I silently cry until I fell asleep.

"WHAT THE HELL WOMAN!! WHAT DID HAVE YOU DONE TO MY SHIRT?!"

I looked down when I heared Cloud shouted. I don't want to look on his burning eyes that shouts of anger. 

"a-ahm it's because I don't know how to wash c-clothes."  I said those words while still looking down avoiding his gaze.

"THEN WHAT’S THE USE OF LAUNDRY SHOP? DON'T YOU HAVE A BRAIN?!"

All my life no one insulted my intelligence because I'm always on top of the class that's why I can't stop myself and look directly in his eyes.

“YESTERDAY YOU SHOUTED AT ME BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME THAT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO GO TO LAUNDRY SHOP AND I SHOULD WASH YOUR CLOTHES USING MY BARE HANDS AND WHEN I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO, YOU JUST ONLY HURT ME THEN NOW YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S ANGRY AND EVEN HAVE THE COURAGE TO ASKED ME IF I DON'T HAVE A BRAIN?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

I am breathless After I burst out those words on his face and I saw how Cloud stilled.

Who wouldn't? In almost five months that he was maltreating me, this is the first time that I defended myself and shouted him.

“w-what the--”

He wasn't even finish what he was supposed to say and just left me there standing and panting. Atleast he didn't hurt me.

I roughly sat on the chair because of frustration and grab my phone to find and order online the same shirt I ruined in exchange. Even how bad the attitude of Cloud, I still love him tho. 

I stilled when suddenly my phone rang. 

“hello?” I answered but the other line is silent.

“Who's this?” still, I didn't get any answer and the person on the other line doesn't speaking. I was about to put down the phone when someone spoke that sent shivers all over my body.

“See you soon Abby”

Cloud’s POV:

"What's up dude long time no see."

Rik tap my shoulder before handing me a bottle of beer. It’s been so long since I hang out with my friends. After Andrea left me at the altar on the day of our wedding because of that bitch Abby, I never saw my friends anymore.

"How are you bro?" Arc asked while laughing with Rik.

"I'm good" he looked at me intently as if not believing what I just said and I drink the beer I am hodling.

Among us, Arc is the very critic, he knows us to well if you were telling the truth or not. 

"How was the life of being married dude?" Cliff teased.

I glared at him but he just raised his both hands as if he was surrendering.

"Seriously dude, how was your life being with Abby?" Rik seriously asked that I just heave a sign.

although we haven’t seen each other fo so long, it doesn't mean that they don't know what's happening to my life because they know everything even what Abby did. They also know the secret marriage I had with Abby and how I mad I am to her.

"Dude, don’t tell me you're hurting her?" After a couple of minutes Arc asked in a worried tone.

"She deserve it." I answered lifelessly.

"Oh jeezz, she’s still a girl dude, what?

Does your respect had gone and being a gentlemen disappear already on your vocabulary and even a woman you were hurting physically?"

I can sense the irritation in Arc's voice which is why I automatically glared at him. 

"Hehe hello guys we are here to have some fun, why are you two acting like you are going to fight?" Cliff suddenly said.

I sat properly and just heave a sigh because of annoyance. 

"Dude may I remind you that Abby is your childhood friend right? So please do not hurt her physically."Arc is so persistent to stand his point that's why I don't have a choice but to look at him. 

"Arc dude, do you have feelings towards my wife? I irritatedly asked him and even looked at him sharply.

I was shock when he just laughed and look at me teasingly while shaking his head.

"I doubt that dude, but it wasn't inpossible if there's none right? He was obviously teasing me and I just raise a brow to him. 

They all laughed in unison that cause my forehead creased.

"If we just didn't know the situation you have with Abby, I must think that you really love her dude." Rik said that making my eyes widen.

"No fucking way!!!"

The disgust was written on my face that made the three laugh so hard. Are those three making fun of me? I  angrily looked at them but they just laugh at me.

"I guess coming here wasn’t a good idea after all.” I was about to stand and left when Arch grab my hand and force me to sit. 

"Sit down bro, you're  acting like a kid y'know?! so tell us, how are you?"

"I’m fine bro," I answered uninterested.

They just looked each other before Arc spoke again.

" Whatever you say bro but really, what are your plans?"

"I will make her suffer just like how I suffered when Andrea left me at the altar.  it’s so shameful bro!" I explained just like a kid.

"You suffered Because Andrea left you at the altar and it was so shameful in your part but you didn't suffer because of pain that she left you because you love her right?  Rik asked While raising his brow to me. 

I stilled for a moment “ o-ofcourse it wasn't like that, my relationship with Andrea was been destroyed because of that bitch Abby.

"Dude, well for me your relationship with Andrea will not fail if she just only trust you enough, you've already told her that nothing happened to you and Abby  and it was all Abby's plan to destroy your supposed wedding, right? Well I perceived Andrea never trust you that much." Cliff shrugged after saying those words.

"Dude it was not like Andrea don't trust me but, whoever girlfriend finds out his boyfriend was sleeping beside another woman will be angry and upset right? And the worst thing is that they are both naked for christ sake!"

I frustratedly said. 

I looked at Arc who just only grin at me, I think what he wanted to say was already been said by the two but I was shock when he suddenly spoke.

"Sometimes Destiny made a twist, You will never know that the person you hate the most now, will be your life someday,"

He grinned at me but I looked at him sharply. That was the most nonsense thing I've ever heared.

Our bond turns good because I change the topic and thankfully they didn't bother to interrogate me again. We were having fun when I accidentally glance at someone that was far away from us. Because I am a little bit tipsy I coudn't recognize clearly the person but I suddenly feel nervous.

.

IT'S ALREADY 3 AM  went I got home and I was shock when I saw Abby sitting at the sofa with a worried face while holding her phone. I was about to pass her when I notice that she's trembling. 

"HEYY!"

I tap her shoulders hardly but I was more even shock when she abruptly hug me tight while crying hard.  I’m supposedly going to push her away however, part of me wants to comfort her like what I did when we were kids. I instantly erased the thought in my head and forcefully get her hands from hugging me.

"You should sleep." I said looking directly at her eyes that full of tears before I left her there. I don’t want to feel anything towards her, anger is what I only wanted to feel for her.

She knows very well the reason why I am really mad at her but she was just too stubborn.  She really deserve the treatment I gave to her and I will never and ever fell inlove to someone like her. Damn, at a young age she was really a desperate bitch.

I lay on my bed and was about to go to sleep when I notice something outside of my terrace. I get up and walk out but I couldn't find anything except for a piece of paper. I picked it up and read what is written.

This can’t be…

“Why you don’t wait  me Miguel?”
