Chapter 2 Your Tears Are Your Treasure

She moves her body slowly and makes it back to her room, she throws herself on her bed and puts the pillow on her head. Her shoulders move up and down and stifled sounds can be heard in the room, she falls asleep in tears and sorrow but then after several hours, she hears a ping sound from her phone and she wakes up hurriedly as if she wasn’t the one sleeping peacefully before.

She unlocks the phone and sees a picture sent to her, her face frowns for a second, and her hand starts shaking. On the phone, a god-like man is leaning on the couch lazily as his head rests on it. In his arms is a beautiful lady who is kissing him on his lips and under it is written,

“He is mine for tonight and the rest of the days to come.”

She looks at the time the message was taken and it was ten o’clock in the evening. She looks at the current time and realizes that it is four o’clock in the morning. A weak smile appears on her face and the phone falls out of her hand and hits the floor. A river of tears rushes out of her eyes as she sits on the bed as if her life has been taken from her body.

The man in the phone is no other person but her husband and the lady beside him is his best friends sister, Cecelia Jacob. Her brother fought with Edward when they were soldiers and he saved him from a bullet. This puts Jacob in a coma for several years and Edward does everything in his power to keep him alive. One day, he wakes up and he makes Edward promise him to take care of his sister when he is gone and on Alexia and Edward’s wedding day, he dies. And so, it was truly their wedding anniversary and his death anniversary.

But everyone knew that, Cecelia was attached to Edward and she wanted him for herself but they ignored her advances towards him because no one wants to see her sad. Apart from the Jones’s family, she had no one else living who she could call family. And so, the whole family pampered her and gave in to all her demands. After all, her brother saved the life of the only male son in the family.

Alexia gets up from the bed and walks to the wardrobe thinking,

“I should trust him, he wouldn’t do it. No matter how drunk he is, he won’t give in to her. He is a master at drinking alcohol nothing happened. I will go to that hotel and confirm my belief in him.”

She removes the dress and puts on a white top and a skinny jeans and a pair of sneakers. She puts her hair in a ponytail and makes her way out of the house. There are several brands of cars in the parking lot and the one she owns is an old Corolla. When she gets to it, she sighs and speaks to it,

“You are my only friend in this mansion, I hope you don’t betray me today because I am on an important mission.”

Alexia drives out of the house, she sees that it is still cloudy and that the road is filled with dew which hasn’t dissipated yet. So, she drives on carefully but then, she has a tough feeling in her chest and she keeps beating her chest and she says to herself,

“You are strong, you are wise, your tears are your treasure. Don’t spill it on unimportant things.”

A few minutes later, she arrives at the hotel , and she makes her way to the room 1106 mentioned in the text message….

——

Meanwhile in room 1109, on a huge bed, a man is seen sleeping soundly but he doesn’t have his shirt on and so his broad muscular chest is revealed. Even in his sleep, the man's elegant sleeping posture shows that he was very well brought up, but his furrowed brow shows that he had probably had a lot of drink last night.

In the right opposite, of 1109, is room 1106 and in it, a naked lady in only her underwear is laying on the huge bed and on her both sides are two bulky looking men. They are snoring loudly and her pretty face is full of disgust as she pinches her nose. She attempts to be away from those two men's stinking breath.

She has to do it to get Edward, and she hopes that Alexia wouldn't let her down.
