Chapter 2

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.
