How To Become A Billionaire

1st CHAPTER

.

"Hey li'l sis where are you? But the noise is there?" Big sister Kelly asked me on the other line.

"Hello big sis, call me later. I'll just have a look." I replied, while honoring The sight outside the exclusive club.

"Wait, don't tell me you're at the bar or club right now?" She asked again.

"No. I mean yeah. But I didn't go here for anything, I was just really going to have a look."

"What! And who else are you going to look at there? Is this the man you always tell me? It's better if you go home now or something else will happen to you there, that guy doesn't deserve you. He always ignored you right? So please Elle, just this time don't be so hard-headed. " She said with overflowing plead in her voice.

I rolled my eyes and almost laugh at what big sis told me earlier.

"Really big sis? I'm not a five year old kid. I know what I'm doing. So please stop worrying about me. Don't worry I won't do anything to harm me. I always think before I do the job. I'm a smart woman right? " I assure her.

"Yeah you're smart but sometimes ---" I cut her off.

"Ok, goodbye big sis. Take care. I love you. Have a good day." I said in a very sweet voice then ended the call.

That's my big sister Kelly Gibb Grosvenor. And I am Ellesa Peregrine. We are siblings, but not the mother. Yeah, we're just a half sister but we love each other like real siblings. Of all the members of my family, maybe he is the only one who really loves and accepts me, well except my mom.

My dad don't accept me, for he said that my mama is the reason why they broke up with his wife.

Urgghhh that old-hag sonsuva bitch, people who don't accept their own guilt. How come my mom is the only one at fault? They both had fun and worked a miracle?

But even though our father doesn't accept me, as long as my big sister Kelly is with me, I can do everything. He loves me, and I know he can't hurt me. And I love her so much.

And by the way she already have a family. They now live in Spain, but we never lost our contact.

So .... Where were we?

Oh! Yeah, I almost forgot.

I was in the club finding someone I owned. As I entered the club the pulsating lights and ear-splitting music welcomed me and a barely-dressed women filled all over the club.

Shitty place, if it weren't for the man I love the most I wouldn't be here. It's not that I haven't been to this place yet.

I've been there many times. I'm a party girl to be exact but because of work that I've been managed, it's been a long time since I've been in this kind of place.

As I rolled my eyes I saw the man I was looking for, he was kissing a woman. The woman turned her back on my habit so I couldn't face the look of it. Because of the ungrateful view that I've seen my blood boiled into highest range.

I was rushing towards the hussy woman who was now sitting on Nate's lap.

As soon as I got there I immediately grabbed his hair which made him shout.

And throw her in the center table. I don't know where I got my strength, as long as I threw away the flirtatious woman without any difficulty.

The music stopped, after they noticed that something was happening at the club. The flirtatious woman got up and looked at me wickedly.

And she think I'm scared? Hell no!

"What's your problem bitch ?!" He shouted.

All the attention was on us already, because the music stopped.

"Problem? Nothing. I thought you're some kind of a garbage that's why I threw you. Does it hurt?" I taunted.

Then a blood started to comes-out-from her nose.

Everyone nearby in our whereabout was shocked. The hell I care.

She touched her nose and her eyes becomes wide after she saw blood coated her fingers.

"You shameless witch. How dare you. I'm gonna kill you." He shouted. And he was about to run towards me when the bouncers blocked him.

"What happened here?" Authoritative question of a man who I think is a friend of Nate and owner of the club.

"That fucking bitch suddenly hurt me." The star woman shouted. They all looked at me.

I just rise my eyebrow. Then asked why.

"Hey it's not my fault. Eh if you hadn't kissed Nate, do you think I'll fuck you? And don't you dare call me bitch cause you're the real bitch. No. You're a whore." I sneered. Boo what a lame excuses.

"Dude sorry hah. But can you if you come here make sure your women don't fight. Yes we're friends. But if my business is affected, let's just be patient. I don't want any more trouble. So please. bring these women out first. " Nate's friend's serious Promise.

My eyes immediately flew to Nate.

When I saw the burning on his angry face, I just wish the earth would open up and eat me alive.

His dark brown eyes were sharply staring at me. He suddenly stood up and crossed my arm. I could smell the mixture of cigarettes and alcohol. The pain in my arm due to the tightness of his grip on it.

"What the heck Nate hurts me." I'm complaining.

"I. Don't. Care." He said something. As I was being dragged out of the bar, almost everyone inside was staring at us. Swaying if it walks, a sign that it is really drunk.

When we were in the parking lot, he pushed me hard into a car that was there, and my back hurt.

"Ouch!" I shout. But he doesn't seem to care.

"What's the matter, you're a woman? Are you coming after me?" Did he stop shouting.

I immediately approached him and hugged him.

"Babe I just miss you. It's been a week since I last saw you." Gently I told him. He immediately pushed me.

"Can you f*cking stay away from, you ruin my night. You're not my f*cking girlfriend in the first place, so don't act like your girlfriend because you won't, and it will never happen." He snorted.

"Staying away from you? I will never do that babe. Even if you drive me away and say hurtful words I won't leave until you'll love me back. Remember that." I said while looking directly on his his dark brown eyes.

He grinned and looked at me from head to toe.

"Well let's see." And with that he kissed me roughly. And pinned me on the car. I was stunned for a moment because it's the first time he kissed me but I also reciprocated with a kiss.

***** CONTINUATION ~~~ *****

Our kiss deepened when he stopped.

"Get in the car" he said.

And got into the car behind me Lang.

"What?" I can't get What he means.

"I said get inside my f*cking car." He said in annoyed voice.

So I hurried into the passenger seat.

As soon as I entered, he immediately pulled the car over.

It seemed familiar what we were going through.

And I was right after a couple of minutes in driving we reached my condo unit.

"What are we doing here?" Confused question.

Did he take me home? But why?

"Where's your f*cking key?" Key to the door He was referring to so I immediately looked in my bag and gave it to him.

I don't know but he's in a hurry? What happened to this man?

As soon as the door opened, he immediately dragged me in and crushed me with a kiss, the door closed at my back. He pinned me in the wall.

It was as if my lips were being erased by the pressure of his kiss. I sighed when his lips moved to my neck I was tickled especially since he was still biting it.

One of my hands reached for her hair, and I didn't realize that I was tweaking her. I want to feel what he is doing to me. It feels so good!

It's like I'm being tickled without knowing it. He lowered a strap of my dress, and at the same time also lowered his kisses on my shoulder.

His other hand traveled to my chest. He caressed my breast, like a child giggling.

I bit my lower lip to somehow stop myself from groaning. I can not take it anymore! I wrapped my arms around his neck.

He doesn't seem to be able to control himself anymore. He finally pulled down my clothes. Then he expertly unhooked my brassiere. He cupped my breasts once more, before he kissed them.

I tightened my grip on her hair. Why is he so good at this! His mouth and his hand on my chest alternated.

I didn't realize we were in my room.

She helps me sit on the side of the bed. I was naked in front of him. He stood in front of me and took off his clothes.

I was amazed by his well-build muscle. And his six packs abs. He's a drop-head gorgeous man.

And we do that 'thing'. At first it hurts especially it's my first time but the pain is also gradually disappearing.

After we make that 'thing' and before he collapse on me he uttered a words.

"I love you mhie ..... Please come back."

And he fall asleep in my side. Who was he pertaining to?

But I just ignored it because and I fell asleep too.

****

"ELLESA WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON !!!"

I woke up because of that thunderous voice. I got up and looked at the person at my bedroom door. And immediately a blanket covered my body

"D-dad?" My answer is shocking. The person next to me moved and I felt stunned by it as well.

"YOU'RE A DISGUSTING WOMAN. ANY MAN YOU MAY HAVE BROUGHT HERE! YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER! YOU'RE JUST GIVING THIS FAMILY SHAME!" He added.

I want to cry because of dad's insult to me. I wanted to defend myself but I lost word. I can't talk back to my dad.

"Mr. Craig? How did you get here? As far as I know your house isn't here." Dad's Sarcastic Promise. None of us spoke.

"A lot of media is out because someone saw you last night in a parking lot at a club. REALLY? OUTSIDE YOU REALLY DID IT? YOU ELLESA! YOU'RE AN EDUCATED WOMAN RIGHT? BUT YOU ACT LIKE A LOWLY SLUT." He is there again for his insult.

"I want you two to get married as soon as possible." Authoritative he said.

"WHAT? HELL NO! I WILL NEVER DO THAT MR. GIBB!" Nate shouted.

"Whether you agree it or not, you're going to marry my daughter. Or else I'll bring down your company. Don't fight me Mr. Craig." After that dad turned around.

2nd CHAPTER

A small smile flashed on my lips when I understood that What dad meant.

It was as if all the hurtful words he had left out suddenly disappeared and were replaced by words that jumped in my heart.

I must be angry with dad for the insult I received. But why am I having fun? Especially when I heard the last word he left.

But because of what dad did, I feel like I want to thank him.

I still smile to this day. Am I married to Nate? I'm very happy. I know it's way too childish, but it's been my dream since I was in high school.

I know dad just did that so as not to tarnish his name in the media. My father was especially well -known in society. And spread on social media is what I did fighting at the club and Nate and I kissing outside.

We turned out to be my fiance Nate and so I did that.

Nate didn't do anything to get the two of us married, because he didn't want dad to admit his threat to overthrow the company he had also been struggling to build for a long time.

But marrying me helps him even more because his company and our company merged. Nate is also a good businessman so dad easily trusts him.

"I still can't believe you're married to Ellesa. And I can't understand why until now you still haven't introduced your husband to me. You're annoying hah! I thought we're sister '? But you managed to keep it a secret. to me? Is that your husband now? The man you always tell me about? The guy who always ignored you? What if he will hurt you like any other arranged marriage does? " Ate's angry line on my laptop screen.

I was in the house that dad gave us. It's been a month since we got married, and up until now I didn't tell my sister who my husband was. That's why he's angry now.

"Big sis, can you please be happy for me? I love him so much. And to be his wife is one of my dreams before sister, so please, let's not fight because of this? It's my personal life."

"Well it's you're choice. I can't stop you. But don't ever complain and cry to me when he hurts you." Then she ended the video call.

Big sis was mad at me. Well I understand her, she just wanted to protect me, she doesn't want me to go to the person who will hurt me.

The reason why I didn't tell her is because I'm afraid that she will scold me for my weakness. But shit, from what I see now, he's even angrier than I thought.

I don't want this night to end without us getting along.

So I immediately called it quits. In first and second call, she declined it. But because I'm not born to surrendered easily. I tried to call her many times. Until she picked it up. But he did not speak on the other line.

"Hey big sis. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I kept it a secret from you. I was afraid you might get angry. I'm sorry." I said softly.

But she didn't say a word.

"Ate. I'm sorry please ...." I know he can't stand me when I'm the tender one.

"Eh why are you hiding? I thought we didn't keep secrets from each other?" He made a rude promise.

"Eh I don't know if you really know that man. I don't even know his name. What if he hurts you? Or worse he'll kill you and then he'll run away and I can't do anything because I don't know him-- -"I cut her from whatever she say.

I laugh at the screen looking at her.

"Big sis, don't think too much. Do you think I'll marry him if I don't know him? Do you think I'll love him like this if I don't know every single detail about him? I'm not that stupid sister if that's what you're thinking. I love her. She's the only sister who makes me happy. I hope you understand. " I plead.

"I'm sorry li'l sis. It's just that I'm just afraid someone will hurt you. I know your a strong woman. Whatever your decision is, fine, I'll support you. I'll be there if ever you need me. " She said gently.

"So who is your husband? Are you really happy with him? Did he hurt you? Was your wedding day the happiest day in your life?" He asked.

And because of his question I remembered what Nate said when we got married.

'You make a wrong choice Ellesa. I will make sure being with me is like living in hell. So don't be complacent, because I will ruin your life. "Did he say that.

And when the night came he didn't come home, even though it's our honeymoon time. He left without warning. I was waiting for him the whole night long. I called him many times but his phone was dead.

The nights and days that he will come home to our house can only be counted on the fingers of my hands. Once again he comes home drunk or not so angry. Or he's just really cold.

"Hey sis are you stupid? Are you alright?" My sister answered worriedly, when she saw that I was an idiot.

"Ah, yeah. I was just thinking about the work you know being the CEO in our hospital was not easy." I just said. "Ah, by the way ate. I have to go because I still have duty. Bye I love you."

"Ok I love you too sis."

Then I ended the video call. And I let out a deep breath. I was just lying when I said I was on duty now. Truth is I'm going to Nate's condo unit. I hope he stays there if he doesn't sleep here.

When I arrived at his condo unit, it's already 9 in the evening and I know by this time he's home.

I ring the doorbell twice, before the door open. It's still in a tuxedo. Indicates that he will just arrive. His facial expression remain blank, and stared coldly at me. He looked at me from head to toe.

I waved my right hand and smiled sweetly at him.

"What are you doin 'here?"

"Visiting my husband who run away home, I guess?" I answered his question.

I was about to enter when he blocked the door.

"And where do you think you're going? It's not your house Ellesa." He said coldly as he forced himself to block the door.

"Yeah I know this is not my house. But it's your condo, and you're my husband. What's yours is mine. So this is also my condo unit." I said casually. And wink at him.

"Get out"

"No way! After I walked a thousand miles, and climbed at the twenty fifth stairs for Lang to reach this unit of yours, I waited for almost thirty minutes before you opened your door. Then will you just let me go? How dare you?" I complained in front of him. I almost stamp my feet because of irritation.

But he stay still. And stared coldly at me.

"Don't fool me Ellesa. I know you have a car, and there's an elevator up to this floor." He said with menace.

"Ok, I just dropped by, and bring some food for dinner." I said eagerly as I raised my left hand where the plastic bag contains with food I cooked earlier rested.

"I know you haven't eaten yet that's why I cooked foods for us. So .... Can I come in now?" I said in a softer voice with matching puppy eyes. So that he will let me in.

He looked down at what I was carrying. And he looked away.

"I already ate." But there's a loud growl sound came from his stomach.

"Oh! Yeah you've already eaten. I have to go. I just give the food I cooked to the urchin outside." I said full of sarcasm. I was about to walk away, when he stopped me.

"Ok fine. Come in." He said. And the door opened wide so I entered immediately.

******* CONTINUATION *****

And I rolled my eyes inside her condo.

I was welcomed by cream colored walls. There's a sofa that compliments with a glass coffee table. And a huge flat-screen TV.

"Where's your kitchen?" I asked him, after scanning his living room.

Then he leads me to his kitchen. I scanned his kitchen and winced at what I saw. There's a lot of take out boxes littered on the kitchen counter.

I pointed the boxes in front of us, and looked back at him before I placed on the table what I was carrying.

"Really babe? Don't you ever cooked?" I stared at him, appalled.

"Too busy to do that." He said coldly.

He stared at me, his gaze dropped from my lips down to my chest. He averted his eyes when he saw me staring at him.

And started to walked back to the living room. What happened to that guy?

I just shrugged and started to prepare the food, and utensils. I prepared afritada and adobo for dinner.

After a couple of minutes, I called him.

"Babe .... Dinner's ready."

I heard footsteps coming from the living room. And I saw Nate, he's now wearing a plain gray v-neck t-shirt that hugs his god-like body and well-toned muscle. My eyes traveled down and there I just found out that he was wearing boxer shorts, something bulging inside his boxer, and I was no longer a child so I didn't know what it was. I gulped hard and couldn't believe it, bat The size I guess? Is that why it was so painful when we did Yung ano?

"Done checking?" He said in a low voice.

My cheeks grew hot when I realized I was staring at the lower part of his body.

I cleared my throat because my throat seemed to be drying up.

"Ah yeah. Let's eat." I just said and smiled. What's the point of denying it?

He smirked. And walked over to the table and sat in the chair in front of me. And started eating.

"Why aren't you coming home?" I break the silence.

He looked at me for a moment, then dropped to my lips. He averted his eyes.

"This is my house." His answer was simple. And it blew up again.

I rolled my eyes. "But we already have a house."

But he did not answer me. It just kept eating.

After we ate I set the table, while he was just looking at me while leaning against the door frame.

I washed the dishes and cleaned the whole kitchen. I was too busy cleaning the kitchen, so I didn't notice that he was still looking at me.

I sat tiredly in the chair.

"Hi babe, have you been there before?" I said tried to suppress my tiredness and he smiled.

He just stared at me and went down again. He looked at my lips. I bite my lower lip. "Yes? Do you need anything?"

He averted his eyes again. What happened to him? He didn't speak and just walked to the refrigerator and got some water. I just watched him walk towards me.

"Here." He handed it to me and I immediately took it and drank it.

"Thank you." And he smiled.

He just nodded and walked back to the living room, I followed. I caught him watching T.V., he just looked at me for a moment and then went back to TV. He looked at me. I walked towards him and I sat next to him.

He stood up and turned off the TV. He walked towards the door, I guess his bedroom door. What happened to him. It's like he's avoiding me.

I followed. And I found him lying on his bed.

"Babe, I'm just going to sleep here, huh? It's already night, isn't it." I said softly.

It did not speak. Silent means yes. I looked at my dress. Ok I'm still wearing my maroon pencil cut dress. That was very close to my body.

"I'll borrow a dress too." I couldn't wait for him to speak, maybe he's asleep.

I went to her closet and looked for clothes I could wear. When I made my choice I immediately took it.

I was stunned when I confronted him and I bumped into a hard chest.

"Who told you that you can borrow my clothes?" He said that coldly. And looked at me wickedly.

"Husband, whether you lend it to me or not, I'll still take it." Gently I said.

"Goodnight for now." and kissed her on the lips. I felt it was stunned and did not move immediately.

I smiled. I was about to leave, but he stopped me. And turned in front of him then crushed by a kiss. Now I'm stunned again.

He bit my lower lip, so I was aroused. He used that opportunity to entered his tongue in my mouth. He stopped and whispered in my ear.

"You know what I've been holding back, I tried to avoid you, but you kept on coming. So better prepare for the consequences." He said something. His voice was hoarse, and it brings shiver down my spine. He smirked.

And he continue kissing me. But this time, it's a rough and wet kiss.

3rd CHAPTER

"Elle, I'm going to cum ..." he said in a hoarse voice.

He thrusted in me more roughly and harder. I felt my body began to shake.

Moment later I just reached my fifth or sixth orgasm? Or I don't know, I already lost count, before he reached his.

He buried himself deep inside me and spill his seed.

He collapsed on top of me, his head was rested in my neck. We're breathing heavily. The lids of my eyes have weighed down. I want to sleep. So I closed my eyes and ready to drift away.

But then when his breathing became stable, he started kissing my neck again. And squeeze my two mountains with his hands.

Oh shit! I am tired. Why does this man seem to have no fatigue? He's been here before huh? I opened my eyes and looked at him.

"Babe, can we please rest now? Can I sleep?" He stopped from what he was doing. And look at me with menace. "What? No. You can't sleep. You started it. So let's finish it, just this one." Irritation was visible on his baritone voice. "Last one." He pleaded.

"But I'm too sleepy to do another round." I said in a weary voice, I even yown. I wanted to open my eyes but they close on their own.

He let off an annoyed growl before he withdrew 'his' inside of me, and annoyed to lie down next to me.

I just smiled. Because of his behavior. Maybe he didn't do anything.

He murmured something, but I couldn't understand what it was.

I turned sideways and hugged him. I rested my head in his firm chest, I even heard his heartbeat. I like the sound of it. It's like a soft Melody in my ears.

I tightened my hug with him. And uttered my word.

"I love you Nathan."

I felt his body stiffened and I also felt his gaze on me. Before I was swept away by drowsiness.

*****

The next day I woke up alone in bed. I heard some drops of water came from the bathroom.

I smiled as I remembered What happened last night. He looks very thirsty. And he didn't seem to want to stop.

It's our second time doing those 'thing', but it feels like it's my first time. The pain is still there.

I covered myself and lifted myself upright. Now I feel the sore between my thighs.

What Nate did last night was bad, we did it a few times. He's a monster in bed.

I slowly walked to Nate's closet and got a dress, and put it on.

Big Nate's dress covered up to half of my thigh.

Then I picked up one by one our clothes that are still on the floor to this day. I made the bed before I left the room to cook breakfast.

I opened her refrigerator, it was empty other than beer-in-a-can, three pieces of eggs, half full loaf bread and a pitcher of water.

Next I opened The freezer. Only to see the unopened pack of bacon, the only content in it, that you can hardly face because of the thickness of the ice that wraps it.

My jaw drop-opened on what I saw. Really? What is this man eating? Is he still grocery shopping? Is that's the why there's a lot of take out boxes in his kitchen counter?

I remind myself to drop in some grocery store later, after work.

I just took the bacon and eggs and cooked that. I toasted the loaf bread into the toaster.

After I cooked, Nate also entered the kitchen.

"Good morning." I greet without looking at him.

I put down the ones I cooked first and then he looked at me with a smile. He's all set and ready to go.

I scanned him and knitted my forehead to what I noticed.

"What?" He asked when he noticed the frown on my forehead.

"Really babe? How many years have you been wearing a tie and you don't seem to know how to tie it yet?" I ask him. He looked at me in astonishment. And look down to his necktie. I saw how red his ear was.

I was just shaken and approached him to tie his tie properly. While I'm fixing his tie, I felt his gaze was on me.

"There you go. Look better." I said after I finished fixing his tie. I glanced at him first. Before I smile at him. He was just looking intently at me.

"Sit down to eat. I'll just make some coffee." He didn't say a word, but he followed what I said. It sat on the chair.

I went to his cupboard, and picked up the coffee -making ingredients. I make two cups of coffee. After that I put my coffee on the table and sat in the chair in front of him. And also started eating.

"By the way, I'm going to the grocery store later. I'll buy you a grocery. It's a pity your refrigerator is empty. And I guess you don't plan to go to the grocery store. Would you like to come with me?" I asked him. And he looked.

"You don't have to." He said sparingly and then sipped coffee.

"No. I have to. I insist, I'll also pay. Tsk. I'll be the one to buy. It's as if you have something sensible to eat." I just said. And shrugged.

"What do you know?" He said in a monotonous voice. I raised my eyebrow.

"May pakealam ako kasi asawa kita. And this is also for your own good. You always buy take outs. Or instant foods. It's not good for your health. I don't want to be a widow in this age. " I said in a mock annoyance.

"Well, I don't give a f*ck."

"Whatever Nathan. Just go grocery shopping." I said with finality in my voice. It has not spoken yet.

What happened to this man. Why does he seem so hot -headed? It seems like last night he was still begging me to give in, but now he's back to being cold?

"Babe, I'll go to your office later so we can have lunch together. Wait for me huh?" I said, when we were in the living room and he was leaving.

"I'm busy. I don't think I can entertain you later." He said. And I handed him his suitcase.

"I'll only go during your lunch break. You don't have to entertain me." He just shrugged and walked to the door.

"Babe wait up." He stopped and looked at me so I immediately walked closer to him, and I squatted down to just kiss him on the lips. "Goodbye. Be careful driving. I love you" I said sweetly. And he smiled.

He smiled sparingly and turned away. I was stunned because of his smile. Did he really smiled at me?

***** CONTINUATION *****

I finished my work as fast as I could. It's just that Nate and I can still cook lunch. It's still dyes in the morning.

"Karyl, do I still have a meeting this morning?" I asked my secretary.

"No more ma'am. Later at 3pm you will have a meeting with the board members, With Mr. Gibb ma'am." He answered politely.

"Ok." I answered sparingly then smiled at him. "By the way Karyl, if ever someone is looking for me now tell me something important I just went until one pm. Ok?"

"Yes ma'am."

I left the hospital and went to Nathan and I's house, the house that dad gave me. It's closer to the hospital than Nate's condo unit.

When I arrived I immediately went to the kitchen and then I prepared the ingredients. Before I started to cooking.

After I cooked I was ready. I got dressed first because I was sweating. And left the house.

Nate's company is also far from here so it was 12:30 when I arrived.

I immediately went to the floor where Nate's office was. I have memorized it because I have already been there, visiting him since we were not married.

When I got there there were no human beings maybe because lunch break yet. So I was nervous that Nate might not be there anymore. Why did I take so long to cook?

I hesitated to open the door because Nate might not be there like when I always visit him here. He's a busy person. I can only reach him here once. Sometimes he has a lunch meeting.

But finally I opened it, and I smiled because I caught him looking at the folder he was holding, I guess he was reading it.

"Hi babe. I'm sorry I took so long, I even cooked our lunch." I smiled as I walked towards the couch and placed the food on the center table.

He put the folder down. And looked at me. I approached him and kissed him.

"Come on, let's eat. Your job will be later." And he was pulled. He let go and stood up.

"You shouldn't bothered yourself." He said without looking at me.

"You should get used to it. Because I come here every day. Whether you like it or until you like it." I said and wiggle my eyebrows at him. He was just shaken. So I laughed.

"Did you wait for me?" I asked as we sat down.

"No." He answered sparingly.

Napaismid naman ako. "You still deny it. Obviously you're waiting for me." I said laughing, then food was put on her plate.

"Don't assumed too much. I just finished my work." He said "Let me do that, I'm not young anymore for you to serve like that." He tugged and took the serving spoon and he put it on his plate. It's good and it answers.

"Gosh, you're still embarrassed. You're my wife, so you're a baby now." Smiling statement I once looked at him who was also looking at me with surprised look in his eyes. "Are you shaking?" I asked mockingly and laugh.

"You're crazy." That's all he said.

And like I said, I go to Nate's office every day. I also move to his condo. But sometimes I will visit our house. Although hectic The schedule I force inserts cooking lunch.

Yesterday it rained on me because of the sudden downpour, I was on my way back to the hospital in case I was injured. I hope I'll take a taxi and I'll just get this car to our driver. Case when I was waiting for a taxi, it suddenly rained heavily. And that's what I read.

So now, I was suffering in severe headache. And I feel like I have a fever, I feel like my body has been beaten. It's like all my energy was drained. I don't think I can even go to Nate's company.

This morning I could hardly get up because of the pain in my body. But because I didn't want to reveal it to Nate, so I got up and did what I used to do.

Nate still remain the same. There are times when he's in the mood, he doesn't show his cold side, but not in the way he's been sweet to me.

But most of the time he's cold, and sometimes mad especially when he asks for another round but I just put him to sleep, because I'm not like him who has all -night energy. Sometimes I also feel that he avoids me, especially when I tell him that I love him.

This day is special to me so even though I feel bad I still cook. It's my birthday today, all my co -workers as well as Ate greeted me, I also told Nathan to wait for me because we will eat together. But I didn't say it was my birthday.

When I arrived at his office, I didn't knock anymore because I knew he was used to me coming here.

But when I opened the door no one was there. My forehead is knit. I went out and saw the babe who was in my mid thirties, I guess her secretary.

"Excuse me. Where's Nathan?" I tried to make my voice clear because it was hoarse. He probably noticed my voice but he didn't try to ask.

"I'm sorry ma'am, sir Nathan isn't here. It's the birthday of one of his friends and he went here earlier." He said politely.

"Ok s-sige." I cleared my throat because I feel like my voice is running out. "Thank you." I mouthed at her. "By the way. Here." I said softly so that he wouldn't be sharp. My voice was hoarse. And gave him What I cooked. "I hope that's for Nate, in case it looks like he doesn't need it anymore. It's just you." I tug and smile at her.

He accepted it and peeked at the flesh.

"Oh, ma'am, it's embarrassing, I've already prepared so much food, but thank you." He said happily.

I just smiled and left.

I wanted to cry but I tried to hold it because maybe someone would see me.

That feeling that you want to be with him on your birthday but he's not there. I used to celebrate my birthday alone, but I hoped I could be with him.

I'm going straight to the house that dad gave me. I feel bad. I went straight to the bedroom and didn't bother to get dressed. I cry my heart 'out. I don't know but I just want to cry and cry.

I feel even heavier, maybe with the thought that Nate chose to be with his friends more than me.

Well, who am I to him? I'm just his unwanted wife for Pete's sake. I don't even think he knows when my birthday is. Or does he really know? I'm the only one struggling to squeeze myself into him. I am the only one who loves the two of us.

I covered myself in a blanket as tight as I can, just to lessen the coldness I feel right now. And to lessen the sadness.
