after he fixed the jacket he looked into my eyes. And it felt like a magnet because I couldn't take my eyes off of him. To him who is attached. My heart was beating so hard that even I was out of breath.

"Are you still cold?" He asked so suddenly that I looked away and felt my cheeks blush. Fortunately it was late and my excitement was no longer obvious.

"A-it's fine. T-thank you" I thanked him.

"Welcome" then he smiled again and stood up.

"W-where are you going?" I asked in shock because he suddenly stood up.

Is he leaving? Immediately?

He laughed a little then ruffled my hair a little. He pointed to something in the distance. I looked at it and saw hannah along with Dex's cousin, Louie.

I quickly removed the jacket from me then handed it to him.

"Here it is. Thank you again" I said

"No. You can have it. Sophie isn't here yet, isn't she? Maybe you'll be cold here while you wait for her" he said then took the jacket and put it on me again. "Keep it to make you warm. Don't worry my jacket has super powers. It can protect you from any harm, cold and pain. It even beats superman" he joked so I couldn't stop laughing.

I am really in love Lord.

(End of flashback)

I just took a deep breath. If he used to give me a reason to fall deeper for him, now he is giving me a reason to let go of him.

But I won't. He gave me millions of reasons why I should love him. Even though he is giving me hundreds of reasons to let go.

The wind was so cold that I hugged the jacket I was wearing. The jacket he gave me that night. I still have it. Treasure it.

He said because it has super powers. I can protect myself from everything that could hurt me. But it's funny to think that the one who gave is the reason for my pain and tears now.

"I miss the old one, thunder.." I whispered in the wind. "Come back, thunder."

I don't know how many more hours I waited for him but I just found myself lying in our bed.

How did I get here? As I remember I was on the balcony waiting for thunder?

Wait what time is it?

I reached for the lamp beside our bed and turned it on. I saw my cellphone there so I checked the time.

Midnight.

Can he go home? I asked mysef then looked next to me.

And my heart beats so fast when I saw his broad shoulders. He turned his back to me and was fast asleep.

He went home.

I was so happy that I couldn't stop crying. It's been a week since I had the chance to sleep beside him. He said he was coming home the past few days, they said manang but I'm already asleep so I don't feel it. I'm waking up with no one next to me so I don't know.

I stared at his back happily like it was the most expensive painting I've ever seen. Memorizingf every part of it.

"thunder, even if you have many women, please, you'll still come home to me, right? I'm fine even if you just sleep next to me. I'm happy there" I whispered to him even though he couldn't hear me but I wished he could.

I moved closer to him and hugged him.

I pressed my body to him and hugged him tightly. I felt the warmth of his body press against mine. I was so happy that a lone tear escaped my eyes.

This time, I can sleep soundly. And that's for sure.

"Goodnight, thunder. I love you" and I kissed his nape.

Akira's POV

"Ok, good. By the way, inform the whole company about what I just said. I don't want anything to come out about what happened last week at the company. I don't want to hear any rumors when I get back understood?" I told my secretary I was talking to on the other line.

"About that, ma'am. Sir Fortaliza said that after he took you to the hospital," informed Leizel.

Really? He did that? Well, he will definitely do that because he doesn't want his name to be tarnished.

"And the secretary is said to be in jail---"

"I don't care if she's in jail or in hell. Never mention her to me again. Understood?"

"Y-yes, ma'am"

"Ok, good. I'll end the call now. Take care" then I ended the call.

I just finished taking a shower but my head started to heat up again because I remembered my wife's snotty secretary.

That bitch!

Don't let him show me because I will give him back the beating he gave me. Bury it in my throat to end the discussion immediately.

"O-ouch" I said without noticing that I was stressing about cleaning my wound.

I need to change the band aid and put some ointment so that no scar is left. After I put my clothes on, I went downstairs to have breakfast.

If you're asking where my husband is, he was gone when I woke up. As always. Nothing new.

But I had a good night sleep because he was with me last night. My day would have been better if I woke up with him next to me.

I went straight to the kitchen and there I saw my housemates except my husband.

"Good morning Sister Lita and Sister Rhea" I greeted them both and gave them a hug.

"Good morning, akira" they greeted me and hugged me too.

"Good morning, Manang Mimi" then I gave her a peck in her cheeks.

"Good morning, crystal. Eat now, I know you're hungry." He is inviting me.

"Come on. Let's go together" I promised.

The three of them have been with me since childhood. They hardly go back home to their province because of taking care of me before. Except for my mother, father and my older brothers, I consider them part of our family. Dad also knows them from the province where he comes from.

"What time did thunder leave?" I asked them while we ate.

"It's early. I just woke up when I heard a car leaving. It left around five in the morning." Sister Rhea answered.

"He didn't eat anymore." Sister Lita added.

I bowed down and just stared at the food in front of me.

"akira, did you and your husband fight?" Manang Mimi suddenly asked so I looked at her.

Manang does not know what is happening between my wife and me. Even his feminine side no one in this house knows except me. Because if they knew, they might have reported it to Dad a long time ago.

"N-no, Manang. B-I'm just busy with the company right now" I lied.

That's what Manang and Dad know that thunder is a workaholic so he hardly has time at home and is always in the office or out of the country for his business. 'Cause that's the only excuse I often make when they notice that thunder is always not at home.

"My, thunder is thinking of almost nothing but work. He can't even raise a family. You've been married for two years but you still don't have a child," Ate Lita said.

"You know thunder, don't you, sister? He wants everything to be in order and our future children have a good future before we do anything. That's why he is almost exhausting himself with his work for our future children" I just answered. that even I don't know if thunder still plans to adopt me

"He's right, Lita. It's only been two years. They're both still young. akira is only twenty-three and thunder is twenty-four." Sister Rhea promised.

"Even so. thunder should still have time for his wife. It's not just work," sister Lita answered.

I can't answer because I don't know what to say.

I looked at my hand when someone suddenly grabbed it.

"akira, son. Why can't you bring food to your husband so that he will be less tired. He will surely be happy," suggested Manang Mimi, which brought joy and happiness to my heart.

"Yes!" I answered enthusiastically.

I'll just surprise him at lunch tonight. I will cook him his favorite porridge!

Oh, I can't wait! IM so excited!

I'm on my way to thunder now. It's almost lunch break and I just stopped by a cupcake shop to buy his favorite chocolate cupcake. He'll sure love it! He never tells me his favorite foods but I know based on my observation. He didn't talk to me.

I couldn't get rid of the smile on my lips while listening to the music playing on my radio.

"But I can't help falling in love with you~"

This would have been our theme song at our wedding in case my dream wedding at the church did not go ahead. We got married in the west. We just sign then it's done. It's like I just attended our school. And worst, I didn't sign with him at that time.

Sad and tearful, yes. But the important thing is that I am married to the person I love. Even if there is no grand wedding, as long as we love each other, that's fine. But in my case, it's one-sided love. Funny how fate plays with me.

I parked my car in the parking lot. I took the lunch box next to me as well as the cupcake I bought. I also made him a choco shake because he really loves sweets especially chocolates.

I hope he really likes it.

I still worked hard on the rice porridge that I cooked. Manang Mimi helped me but I made sure that I do all the work. They just guided me.

I got out of the car and went straight to the elevator.

"Good afternoon ma'am" the guard greeted me and I also greeted him.

I got on the elevator and pressed the top floor. On my way to the top floor, there were some riding employees who were chatting. When they see me they suddenly become silent. They're greeting me so I'm greeting them too.

After I got to the top floor, I was surprised when I found a person in the secretary's desk. But it was a man.

"Hello, good afternoon" I greeted him.

"Good afternoon, po. Can I help you?" Is this a polite question?

It looks like he's not from here as a friend because he doesn't know me.

"Yes, where is your boss?" I asked him.

"It's inside. Do you have an appointment, ma'am?" This is a polite question to me.

I smiled then shook my head. "No, I don't. I just came here to bring this to my husband" then I show the lunch box I'm holding.

"Huh?" It's like he hasn't gotten a promise yet. Then suddenly his eyes widened when he realized who he was facing. "No, I'm sorry! I didn't know you! I'm sorry Mrs. Fortaliza. I'm new and not yet familiar here and the people" he apologized.

I just smiled at him. "It's ok. It's fine"

"I'm sorry ma'am, I thought it was because sir's wife was the one who came to this woman earlier. She is also strong" he said making my forehead frown.

"Who?" I can't stop asking.

"You didn't say a name, just that it was Ms. Fortaliza. She was the same as sir who went inside earlier, but she had just left when you arrived," he said.

Who the fuck is that? thunder doesn't have a sister because they are both brothers. shitt. After his secretary is there something new? And this time he let that bitch use his surname? The fuck thunder.

Out of rage I suddenly entered thunder's office. His secretary calls me but I just go straight.

When I got inside, I closed and locked the door of his office.

He looked like he was sleeping because he bent down and opened his eyes in surprise. I met his gaze and went straight to his table.

"Fuck thunder!" my beginning "You just finished with your old secretary and now you have another girl brought here? Won't you stop your womanizing?!" I asked angrily.

"What are you talking about, woman?" This is a question back to me.

"Is it possible? Don't worry. Your secretary herself said that you brought a woman here. Oh, and guess what? The last name is also Fortaliza." I promise I'm full of anger. "You let your woman use your fucking lastname! I'm your wife thunder, and I'm the only one who has the right to use your last name!"

I was so angry that my stomach hurt a bit. That's why I stopped. But I remained focused.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening his eyes

"You're over reacting, akira" he said.

"Over reacting? What do you want me to react to? Be happy because I'm capable of your girl? Is that so? Huh? Is that so?"

He was stunned by his senses. "Can you please be quiet? I'm tired akira."

"And I'm not? I'm tired of always fighting for our marriage against your girls Thunder. I'm also tired of chasing you but I'm not giving up" then I cried. I couldn't stop the tears that suddenly fell. "I'm fighting, can't you see? My only weapon is the paper that says you're married to me. That's the only reason why I'm still fighting for this marriage. But I'm also tired me. I'm tired too, thunder"

He looked at me with his cold eyes. We just stared for a minute before he spoke.

"If you're tired, why haven't you let go yet?" It was a cold promise that seemed to stop my world.

I laugh sarcastically. "Isn't the answer clear to you, thunder? I love you. That's the answer to your question"

"And because of my deep love for you, even though I'm tired I still fight because I don't want to lose you."

"But I don't need your love"

"I don't care if you need it or not. As long as I love you, I'll give you everything." I then placed the lunch box and box of cupcakes on his table. He looked at it.

I wiped my tears off. "Then I'll stop when I have no reason to love you anymore. But in my current situation, I have a million reasons to fight for you" then I turned and went straight to the door.

But before I could get out, he suddenly spoke.

"The woman who came here, that's not my woman. That's sister Zaira Fortaliza. My cousin"

Oh fuck.

enjoy dusting Ms. Santos or should I say Mrs.Montenegro "he said while handing me pissed off look.

I stopped but I continued discharge. Closing closing I was I leaned against the door.

there's hyperventilate again my heart because of what that traitor said.

I want to shout! Thunder you too

You already know how I am to expect.

finally finished too! That's Thunder's had just started class, tortured me immediately. I looked at my watch, it was 8pm. Actually it's only until 5pm I'm coming in today but because he still cleaned me .

of the whole library I have reached this time. "Akira, this is your ID" She said as she handed me over my ID. “Next time avoid when Thunder heats you up, that's known here as terror prof. I know you're a good student. .
