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. Right away she washed the dishes.
As soon as she's done with all her work she immediately goes to her room for a bath and prepares herself. They will leave the house at 11:00 am as her husband told her. It takes one hour for her to dress. She couldn't understand why she felt uneasy looking at herself in the mirror when knowing that she had these tight bonds with Thunders family. A few minutes later she heard her husband knocking on the door, "Are you done? We need to go." He asked behind the door.
"Ahm Yes I'm done. I'll be outside just waiting a little while," she replied.
"Hurry up! I don't want to be late." He said before he left.
She quickly took her small sling bag and hurriedly followed her husband.The definition of silence covered the whole atmosphere of the car as they drove off, no one tried to speak. Thunders focus on driving while Jewel looks outside the car window and let her mind be preoccupied.
"What are you thinking?" Thunder hastily asked making Jewel startle a bit.
"How's Dark?" she asked.
Thunder's forehead furrowed because of her questions. "Why do you ask?" he seriously responded.
"Nothing, It just popped out when I remember Calliyah," she said.
Thunder's expression suddenly went back to normal, "He's in pain Jewel, he's broken inside and outside,"
"I think he deserves it! After what he did to Calliyah? He's an asshole!" She said in displeasure.
Thunder laughed which made me look at him."Is there anything funny about what I said?" I asked myself.
"Silly, stop being judgemental. Dark has a reason why he did that." Thunder defended his friend.
She just rolled her eyes.They arrived at the restaurant where they would have lunch with Thunders' family. They get inside and find their parents with Aunt Celestine and also his son Red. They greeted them all and sat on a vacant chair.
"How are you?" Red suddenly asked and looked at Thunder mockingly.
"We're okay," Thunder said briefly, a teasing smile still plastered on Red's lips.
She looked at her husband to see that his expression darkened and tried calming him because of how Red teased him.
While waiting for their ordered food, Aunt Celestine suddenly talks. "When will you both plan on giving your mommy a grandchild Thunder? I know she's longing for a kid because you are already married and you don't have any siblings,"
"Exactly, Celestine, I already asked them about it. They've been married for a year but still, I haven't heard them talk about my grandchild" her mother indulged.
I noticed a faint laugh of Red lips that made Thunder form a fist while staring at him sharply.
"Aunt, just let them be by now, maybe they are not yet ready for that, or what if they haven't done that thing yet." Red teasingly said.
The woman instantly looked at his son Thunder, " Is Red right son? Why is it? You both married a year ago but still haven't any grandchildren,"
Thunder gazed even sharper at his cousin Red. The teasing action towards Thunder is noticeable.
Red didn't mind the stares he got from Thunder but instead, he smiled even wider.
"Mom, don't be in a hurry! Just wait, I'm sure you'll have your grandchild. isn't it babe?" Thunder looked at her.
He even held her hand and planted a soft kiss on it. Jewel can't hide the happiness she felt about how her husband acted.Their topic stopped when their order food arrived. While Thunder is eating he can't stop thinking about the conversation he had with Red.
FLASHBACK...
"What now dude? We'll have lunch tomorrow" Red said.
"So what if we have lunch tomorrow?" He replied.
"Nothing, Just asking. You knew that Jewel and you are not a typical normal married couple. You know what I mean. You knew Jewel is beautiful and yet sexy at the same time, If you're not
her husband I probably courted her. "Red responded.Thunder felt a sudden irritation as he heard what his cousin spelled up. He can't understand why he felt that kind of emotion when he heard a man admiring his wife.
"Damn you Asshole! Stop messing around with my wife." He emphasized every word he said.
Red laughed at his response. " Just kidding. Why are you acting like that? All I know is that you loathed her and now you're acting like that? You don't want her to leave then why did you keep on hurting her? You're blind to see how beautiful, caring, and loving Jewel is cause you choose to hate her and you let your anger take over you. I'm sure you'll regret it when
your woman finds someone that can treasure and she'll choose to leave you. A man that gives everything for her and never hurts her and treats her like a queen and a total opposite of you because all you do for her is hurt her day by day." Red said in a serious voice."You knew that I hated her. No, I loathe her! I despise her for taking away my freedom and in exchange, she'll stay with me. If she'll give up then be it. Though it's favorable for me if she
leaves, my life will be peaceful again. But at this moment I'll make her suffer and I will make her fall in love with me, though I know she already loves me I still planned on making her fall forme even deeper, deeper that she will experience agonizing pain if she leaves me" He said.Red just shook his head in disbelief at what his cousin told him so. "I don't get you, Jewel is a perfect package that every man wants but you choose not to see. One day you'll be eating those words you spoke and you'll be the one who will suffer from them. It's so rare to find a woman just like your wife and you know Jewel for another man is like a blessing coming from above that they don't want to lose. I know one of these days you'll regret the way you treated her,"
Jewel is mine! Mine alone! I won't let her be happy!
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
When she arrived home she went straight to her room. While changing her clothes she unconsciously spots their picture frame attached to the wall, it was taken on their wedding day. Blithe is visible on her face in that portrait meanwhile her husband showed a manifestation of nausea. She smiled bitterly, reminiscing about their nuptial day. She felt ecstatic on that day knowing she'll be spliced to the man she loves. She was once dreaming of having a loving husband and a happy family, nevertheless, kismet was atrocious and fiendish the total opposite of what she desired. Before she could shed a tear she went out and checked her husband in his room to know if he had arrived home but as she stepped in there, there was no sign of Thunder he had come home so she got out and decided to wait for him. While stepping down the stairs she heard a clamorous opening of the door that made her rush to come down. "Jewel!" Thunder shouted infuriatingly. She staggered hearing her husband's incensed
Jewel didn't know how many minutes or hours had passed before her husband had finished grooming her. He keeps satisfying himself while she is crying in pain. She looked at her tied hands and almost blushed because of the extreme tightness of Thunder's tie, her husband made sure that she can't escape. She can also feel the pain in her cheek because of the several times it slapped him hard, as well as her jaw hurt and you can also include her stomach that husband punched. Anger started lingering in Jewel's heart as she looked at her husband. For her it wasn't the Thunder that she knew, in almost a year of being together as a married couple, Thunder didn't do such a thing to her. She felt hatred towards her husband now! She loathes him! She regrets marrying a rapist! "Ohhh Ahh, fuck fuck. Ahhh. Ahh." her husband moans as if he's in so much pleasure. After one last thrust, her husband stopped already at what he was doing and quickly left on the top of Jewel and lay down on the bed. T
3 years ago... Friday Night. She was leaving the house of her friend Daven. The three of them, Calliyah, have been best friends from high school to college. They had a project that day so they decided to make it in the house of Daven. The young man was supposed to take her to their house but she refused because she said it was too early and their driver would come to pick her up outside the subdivision. She made her way out of the subdivision to wait for his driver that night, as she was walking she noticed that someone seemed to be following her so she accelerated her walk but still did not lose the men who followed her. She was about to run and shout when a man suddenly grabbed him and the other suddenly sniffed something on his nose causing him to lose consciousness. She just woke up in a building unfamiliar to her. And there she realizes that she has been kidnapped, all she does is shout for help but it looks like it is far from the town and no one can hear her. A few minutes
After that incident came back to her mind she couldn't help but sigh, she remembered her best friend who treated her like a sister who died because of her, if Daven didn't save her, he would probably still be alive. Three years had passed since a nightmare happened in her life but until now she still carries the weight in her chest. She closed her eyes to stop the tears from falling. She thought she was okay and moved on already but the truth is she is not, that incident is still fresh in her mind, and she didn't realize that she had fallen asleep thinking too much. She just woke up when she heard a series of knocks on her hotel unit. She knew that it was Cain, she immediately stood up and walked towards the door and opened it, the worried face of the young man appeared. "What happened? Why are you here at the hotel? Where is Thunder?" He asked her immediately. "You're not in a hurry, are you? Sit down first and I'll get you something to eat," she said laughing. "Nah ah! I'm still
Dark POV I'm here now in a cafe with my girlfriend. She was pissed, she was looking for her friend Jewel because her friend didn't answer her calls, she had been forcing me to call or go to Thunder and ask if Jewel was there. "Babe, can you sit down first? I've been dizzy from what you're doing." I told her but she just looked at me and continued with what she was doing. "Call that devil friend of yours!" she said. I just sighed and picked up my phone to call Thunder, because if I hadn't done that, she would not stop. I dialed Thunder's number many times but the line was busy and no one answered it. "Oh what? What did he say? Where is Jewel?" Calliyah asked me"Thunder didn't answer my call," I said. She sighed and sat down next to me. I know she's just worried about her friend, but I know that Jewel is okay in the hands of my friend Thunder. "Babe, let's go to Thunder's house." she pleaded. "Babe, we are not sure if Thunder is in their house or not! He's not answering my call
Jewel POV She is standing in front of the mirror while looking at her whole being. This is it, no turning back Jewel. You've suffered enough. - she thought to herself. Today is the day Cain and I will be going to Canada. There is no doubt that she will be leaving now, unlike before, that she doesn't want to leave Thunder. Maybe if it wasn't for what happened to them she wouldn't be in this situation now. She closes her eyes as she remembers the times that she and Thunder were together. She loves her husband so much to the point that she doesn’t even notice that she is slowly breaking down. She gave all her love to the person who doesn't love her at all. She realized that even if you love someone that much, you also need to save for yourself, you need to love yourself more. And now she has decided to leave her husband forever and start on her own again. He smiled bitterly before taking his small pouch and proceeded to exit her room. "Oh I thought you changed and you don't want to
