Cinderella's Revenge

"Miracle!" Shanelle greeted her friend warmly as she entered the coffee shop. Miracle immediately smiled when she got to see her bestfriend.

"Shanelle! I miss you!" the woman smiled before hugging her best friend tightly.

Shanelle accompanied Miracle to sit infront of her, she approached the ordered frappe to the woman before she smiled sweetly. "How are you? You look so happy to see me again!"

"Of course." Miracle pouted her lips. "You're away for almost 2 weeks, you didn't even text me that you're going to Paris," she said with a sullen voice.

Her friend laughed. "I'm sorry, you know my husband, he doesn't want me to use my cellphone every time we go somewhere. All he wants is for him to have my attention. Red flag," Shanelle giggled.

A smile flashed on Miracle's lips. "But your husband is kind, actually. Maybe he's just afraid that you might be taken away from him. You know you they almost lost you, don't you? Maybe your husband was just traumatized so he wanted to have all your attention," she added.

Shanelle looked down at her arm in front. Anger immediately welled up in her chest when she saw a bruise there.

"Miracle. Did your stupid husband hurt you again?" her curiosity lingered.

Miracle gulped before hiding her arm. He immediately shook his head. "No. I just slipped in the bathroom earlier so I fell to the floor," he would reason.

Annoyed Shanelle lowered the glass she was holding. He glared at his friend. "Are you still covering up for your husband even though he's already hurting you? Miracle what's happening to you?"

"Shanelle," Miracle whispered softly.

"Don't Shanelle me. Don't let me pass through your soft voice, you know I'm weak so I'll give and I'll give to you! Miracle, how many times have I told you to leave that fool!" with the woman's extra giggles.

She shook her head repeatedly. "Shanelle, I don't want to. You know that. I love Trigger so much. I can't afford to leave him," she cried bucking.

His friend was just scratching his neck. "I can't understand you. When my husband lays his hand on me, I will distance myself with our children. But you, what are you doing to yourself? Do you intend to die at the hands of a fool"

"Shanelle, he's still my husband, please stop calling him with such names," Miracle interrupted.

The one in front of him shook his head in disbelief. "I'll get you to be a martyr, Miracle. I'll kill your husband myself when he tries to hurt you again! I'll let go of that bruise, girl. But when that increases, I'll file a case against him ! "

Miracle was confused because of that. "Shanelle, hdon't! I don't. Don't imprison Trigger!"

"And why?" Her bestfriend took a deep breathe. "Because you love him? Fuck that love, Miracle. He doesn't even care for you. And that child in your womb, what are you up to there? Will you let your husband beat you and hurt the child?"

Miracle clung so tightly to her stomach. Her baby. He just smiled when he confirmed the suspicion yesterday.

She's 1 week pregnant with Trigger's baby. Of course, this is all he will devote time and love to.

But Trigger doesn't even remember that something happened to them that night.

The man went home to their house, very drunk. She didn't fought back when he kissed her hungrily. How could she refuse its kisses if only that night it had been tender and careful?

She let him took her virginity. Because she loves him so much. He loves his wife so much that he will give everything to her.

"Do you think, Trigger will change if he finds out that we're going to have a baby? Shanelle, maybe he'll be nice to me when the baby comes out," Miracle said happily while her voice was full of hope.

Shanelle can't help but to pity her bestfriend. In the tone and expression of her eyes, it seemed that she was drawing little hope that her husband would love her.

She quickly wiped away her tears before holding Miracle's hand. He felt sorry for his friend's situation. He did not know why the Miracle of the world was tormented like this. All her life, she's been a good friend. This was the couple's helper to take care of the children when he was paralyzed due to an accident.

Miracle did her best to help her financially when she was suffering. Miracle did everything to make her happy when she felt depressed. Shanelle feels worthless and taken care of. But Miracle was one of those who tried to get him treated. Her husband is also very grateful to the friend because he accompanied her for two years.

But seeing Miracle suffered like this, she can't help but to feel angry towards Trigger. It is too dumb to hurt an innocent woman.

"Miracle," Shanelle uttered. "Leave him, leave Trigger. We'll just live in your house, we'll take care of you. You will be the second mother of my children, and your baby, we will also be that family. Leave Trigger, we can revive you, "she pleaded.

Miracle quickly released from Shanelle's grip on him. "Shanelle, we've already talked about this. I will never leave Trigger no matter what happens. I love him. And I know he'll love me one day too. I'm sure he'll realize it sooner. Maybe nconfused He's just now. Isn't he mad at me because they forced me to marry mommy and daddy? Maybe the anger in his heart will also disappear when "

"When are you dead?"

"Shanelle."

"He can fucking kill you, Miracle. With the beating he's doing, you might die!" her friend added.

Miracle shook her head. "I'm sorry, Shanelle. UI'm going home, maybe Trigger is coming home from the office. I'll cook for him."

He picked up the purse on the table before walking away from the friend, but he was immediately stopped when he spoke.

"You said you'll never leave his side. What if your son is touched, Miracle? Aren't you still leaving his powder?" Shanelle asked.

Her breathing stopped for a moment. She just swallowed hard before continue walking away.

Miracle prepared the cooked meals for her husband. She prepared his favorite food to relieve his fatigue from work.

She knows how stressful her husband's work is. Being the owner of a big company is a big responsibility. That's why he just pays attention to it whenever he is hurt.

It's tired. That's probably the reason why it's laying a hand on him.

"He's here," she whispered when she heard the sound of the door.

He quickly removed the apron from the body before meeting the wife.

"Hey, how are you?" Miracle asked Trigger while smiling sweetly.

The irritation immediately passed in his wife's eyes. The tension in his jaw did not escape his stare.

"Get out of my way," he said coldly.

Miracle quickly blocked her husband's path. "But hyou haven't eaten yet, Trigger. Your favorite cooked for you. Come on, heat first."

Miracle shut her eyes closed when he pulled her arm aggressively. He felt anger at Trigger's grip.

"You don't fucking tell me what to do, Miracle. Don't act like my wife, I hate what you're doing. You can't order me around, fucking whore," she whispered angrily to him before letting him go. .

Miracle opened her eyes to stare at her husband with eyebrows raised as she stared at him. It's angry again.

He bent down to apologize. "I'm sorry, Trigger. I'm just worried about you because you might be hungry."

Her husband stopped talking. He just rolled his eyes in a manly way. It passed him and went straight up to their room.

Miracle sighed deeply before composing herself. "He's mad at me again. You're a fool, Miracle. Why are you forcing him? Maybe she's scared, "she whispered to herself.

He just went straight to the kitchen to put away the food he cooked. She's hoping that Trigger will eat breakfast tomorrow. It just doesn't always go with him to eat.

After storing all the food in the kitchen, she quickly locked the main door and the back door.

When he was sure that everything was in order, he went up to his room with his wife. She's actually thankful that she and Trigger are just together in the same room. Even if it ignores her, atleast the husband is just close to her.

She's always having nightmares about Trigger hitting her. About her father hurting her physically. She always has nightmares that two important men in her life are hurting her. So whenever she wakes up and sees her husband sleeping peacefully, she is complacent.

No noise Miracle climbed into bed before watching the husband leaning on the headboard and reading a book.

"You haven't mslept yet?" she asked him.

His wife did not answer.

She sighed before smiling bitterly. "When you're nhungry, just go down to the kitchen. I put the food in the refrigerator. Or gjust wake me up so I can heat the food."

It still didn't speak to him. Miracle just ignored her quiet husband. Every time he talks to her, she doesn't really answer. He was just like a ghost in front of it.

"Prepare food for tomorrow morning. Mom and dad will be here," he said coldly.

Miracle turned to her husband. "All right." She smiled sweetly. "Are they with mommy and daddy?"

He nodded at her question and turned his attention back to reading the book.

Miracle just layed down on the bed before covering her body with the blanket. She couldn't help but be excited for tomorrow.

Her mother and fatherinlaw are one of the best parents she ever knew. She is happy every time they treat her like she is a real child.

And one more thing, his parents don't interrupt and speak badly of him whenever Trigger's parents are there.

She get used to it, her own parents insulting her, that's normal for her. He just puts up with all the words it utters to him.

But when she met Trigger's parents, all her fears disappeared. They erase all the pain he is experiencing.

"Trigger," she called her husband's name silently.

"What?" its a cold question.

"Your parents, I like them so much," she whispered while smiling. "You know what's the best thing that happened to me when I got the chance to be your wife? It's having a chance to meet your parents. You're very lucky to have them."

That was the last thing he said before he finally fell asleep.

"Miracle! Ija! Gosh, I miss you so much!" Smiling, the woman hugged the lady who had just entered the door.

She smiled sweetly while her motherinlaw, Yians, is busy with combing her soft hair. "Auntie. I really miss you too! It's been a long time since you last visited here," Miracle uttered while pouting her lips.

Cronus, Trigger's father, let out a chuckle. "I'm sorry, Miracle. You're on vacation in Paris so we can't get here. How are you, by the way? "

He kissed her cheek so she hugged the man back. "I'm ookay, uncle. Everything's going well. You?"

The beautiful lady smiled at him. "We enjoyed staying in Paris. So I just went home right away to see you! 'Didn't you promise me that you'll paint my portrait? I can't wait to pose infront of you!" Her motherinlaw giggled.

Miracle laughed at what the other person said. "Oh, aunt. I think you will be my favorite model. I will make my painting very beautiful with you," she said while smiling.

"Why, why wasn't I part of that? It's frustrating, ha!" Cronus grunted.

Yians scolded his wife. "Miracle's talent is exclusively for me! I don't want him to paint you because you're ugly!"

The man laughed. "Oh come on, my dear wife, our children inherited from me. So look at the faces of our nine shameless children, the handsome ones. Who else will inherit? Edi to the father," it boasted.

Miracle giggled while watching her in laws. It has always been arguing over who the children inherited from.

"Auntie, uncle. Come to the kitchen, I cooked your favorites," Miracle said.

"Oh sweetheart, you don't have to cook for us. But I missed your cooking so I'll go there!" Yians exclaimed bubbly.

Miracle was about to answer when the main door opened, her parents entered the house.

The smile on Miracle's lips immediately disappeared when she saw her parents.

She's hoping that they won't insult her in front of Trigger's parents. She's hoping.

Miracle sat silently next to her husband looking straight at their parents in front of them.

"GGood morning," she uttered before bowing her head a little. Trigger's parents smiled as his parents remained silent.

"Why are you guys here?" Trigger asked coldly.

"What are you, Trigger, of course we want your daddy to see your beautiful wife," Yians said smiling before squeezing Miracle's cheek slightly which in turn smiled.

Miracle couldn't escape the sight of Trigger's simple grin on the side. "You can visit here anytime, you don't have to create such dramas."

"Trigger, don't be rude!"

"I'm not fucking rude! I postponed all my schedules today for this. Then what? Just to visit this woman?" Trigger replied angrily to the father.

Miracle bit her lower lip. He turned to his father who suddenly sneezed.

"I'm sorry for that, ijo. But I was the one who invited Cronus and Yians to go here. I forgot telling them the reason why, but we're not here for Miracle," Benedict said firmly before looking at each other. the daughter.

"Then why are you here?" Trigger seems to have calmed down with this question.

"We're here to talk about our business, ijo. Your mommy and daddy and I have already discussed this matter. We can merge both of our companies so it would be more powerful," Olivia said with a smile. .

Miracle sat on the end of the sofa when he heard her talking. When it comes to gatherings like these, he can't speak, he can't make a suggestion, he can't respond.

Why? Because he is a fool. That was always his title for his parents.

Miracle gazed at Trigger's parents who smiled at her. They are the only ones who understand him. They knew that it's awkward to talk about business when she's around.

But she can't complain. She doesn't have any right to do that.

"And after we gain more investors, I'm sure we'll both benefit from our partnership. Atsaka, ijo, your uncle Benedict and I are also getting older, so we need someone to manage our company. We can't even ask Miracle. " Olivia turned to her son before slapping her. "Because you know he doesn't know anything about business and he's still a fool."

Miracle bit her lower lip. "Mom, I graduated with a degree. I can handle the company," he calmly promised.

Her uncle Cronus cleared his throat. "I trust Miracle also, it would be good if the two of them and Trigger could manage the company after all, they are married."

Trigger's mother smiled sweetly. "Me too. Besides, Miracle is not a fool. With her talent in painting, she even competes internationally and she even won. I trust Miracle more than anyone."

Miracle wept as she bowed her head at what she heard. Her in laws never failed to make her happy every single time. Her parents are supposed to cheer her up, but they are still the ones insulting her.

"I doubt that," Benedict said out of nowhere before grinning.

"She can't even stop painting shits to handle the company, so it's just getting popular now that you're all here," he added.

Cronus's face changed. "Miracle never did try to gain other people's attention. That's absurd, pare."

"Oh believe me. He's my son Cronus"

"I really like Miracle, whatever other people say to her. I want her to be my daughter. You know, ija, even if you divorce my daughter? I won't be affected by that, I'll adopt you to be a child me, "Yians said while giggling.

Miracle saw how Trigger's jaw clenched on her side.

"That's not possible, Yians, our son"

"Oh, Miracle is your son. I'm sorry." Yians chuckled. "I thought you were really adopting her. Maybe it's okay if you give her to us. No one else knows Miracle as your child because you're hiding her from people's eyes, right?"

Cronus held Yians arm before clearing his throat. "Enough with this fight. We're here to talk about business."

Trigger's mother was still staring intently at Miracle's parents as if not born with physical shame. "And one more thing, you can't say things about Miracle again. You're insulting your daughter infront of everyone and you're still happy there. I'll pull out Trigger's partnership from you if you make Miracle cry again."

Crying Miracle turned in the other direction as Trigger's parents stood up. Yians held her head before kissing her forehead. "Don't cry, honey. They don't deserve your tears."

She smiled before nodding her head.

"We need to go. Let's talk some other time."

The couple left at the same time. Miracle's parents then stood up before glaring at her.

"Do you have an ally now? That's new. I can't believe that you'll gain Yians and Cronus' trust," Benedict said contemptuously before passing him.

Miracle was left alone while listening to the departure of the parents.

She gasped when Trigger pulled her arm. "What the fuck is that, you whore ?!"

Trembling Miracle struggled to hold her husband. "Trigger, wwhat are you saying?"

It pulled him even closer. "I wonder how you gained my parents trust with your acting. You're fucking disgusting."

Miracle closed her eyes in tears as her husband tightened his grip on her arm.

"I sswear. I didn't gdo anything," he explained tearfully.

"Now you're even talking back?"

The woman fell to the floor when Trigger slapped her hard. He covered both ears to make the voices around him disappear.

Everytime that Trigger's hurting her. The voices of his father and his wife were what he could hear around. They shout and tell him what kind of insults.

"I didn't ddo anything. I swear, Trigger. PPlease, don't hurt me anymore," he sobbed pleadingly here before opening his eyes.

He stared at the meeting eyebrows of his wife who was furiously looking at him.

"Stand up. I don't fucking care about what you feel, Miracle. You deserve to be treated like this for ruining my life. You're nothing but a fucking whore."

The wife left him there crying.

Miracle held her tummy before caressing it. "I'm ssorry, baby."

"What do you think would be this baby's gender, Shanelle? I wish I was a girl, you know, it's exciting to dress up baby girls!" Miracle said enthusiastically as he followed the friend who was busy pushing the cart.

Shanelle smiled at him. "It wouldn't be possible. They haven't had female Knights yet because they seem to have male cells in their blood. It's thrilling, there are more and more cheaters in the world. Especially your husband"

"Shanelle, don't bad mouth my husband infront of me. I might get stressed, go ahead, maybe baby will succeed," Miracle uttered before caressing her tummy.

"Sus. You made that excuse again so that I wouldn't insult your husband. Even if you stop me, that Trigger has been dead in my mind for a long time!"

Embarrassed, Miracle bowed to the people who turned in their direction to apologize for their friend's behavior. She pulled Shanelle's arm gently.

"Shanelle, don't be loud. Maybe later they'll think you're a murderer," he scolded her.

"Ha! I'm really close to becoming a criminal. Look at that arm of yours." He grabbed her right arm, which was bruised again. "Look at this, Miracle. Look at this fucking bruises on your arm. From what I see now you think I can't kill with anger?" irritating this way.

Miracle bit her lower lip before smiling sweetly that made Shanelle's anger melt away.

"AAyan, that's where you're good. To melt me ​​with your smiles, you're a real bwisit." She chuckled with what Shanelle said.

"I just smiled at you. I also don't know why you get carried away by my smile. Should I smile more often?" giggling Miracle replied.

His friend stopped walking before facing him. "Miracle, apart from your angel face every time you smile. So my anger dissolves because I see you're still smiling in everything you're going through right now. I'm glad you're happy. I smile every time you smile. I'm hurt every time you cry. Everything. as you feel, I feel. So even if you smile at me a million more times, I won't get tired. Only once will I see you really smile, eh. "

Crying Shanelle wiped the tears from Miracle's cheek. "So keep on smiling, okay? I always want to see those smiles on your lips."

The woman nodded while sobbing. "Thank you, Shanelle." She pouted her lips before hugging her bestfriend's nody.

"What are you, you're always welcome, girl! You always thank you, when are you going to thank me when I kill your naughty wife?" gigil na dagdag nito.

Miracle didn't answer, she just smiled awkwardly as she pulled Shanelle's wrist gently. "Come on. Maybe Trigger will come home early now. Make sure he's hungry."

Shanelle rolled her eyes in irritation. "Try to starve your wife once, she might die. I'm probably the happiest person in the world when that happens."

Miracle nodded and slapped his friend's shoulder. "Your mouth, Shanelle."

"Oh, here it is, Your Majesty. Shut me up."

Miracle giggled with her response. It happily walked ahead of him while still looking around.

Shanelle can't help but to sigh while watching her bestfriend who's smiling now. She always wants to see Miracle's smile, those smiles are very important.

If he just didn't love his friend, he probably became a murderer because he wouldn't hesitate to burn his wife alive.

MIRACLE placed the bags of grocery she bought on the table. He also looked around the living room to see if his wife had returned home.

Maybe it hasn't come home yet. There are no traces of Trigger being at home.

She somehow felt relief because of that. She still has time to cook for her husband. He didn't want it to go home hungry.

Her hand stopped putting purchased foods in the refrigerator when something came to her mind.

He had never witnessed his wife eat what he cooked for her.

Miracle gently wiped the tears from her cheeks before continuing. She shouldn't cry right now, it's not that big deal. Trigger still hates her and she's okay with that. Even if he doesn't know the root and root of his anger towards her, he will just understand it.

"You deserve to be treated like that for ruining my life."

When did she ever ruined his life?

She didn't even force him to marry her. To her knowledge, her parents and Trigger's parents processed their marriage. Her life was ruined also ... A big time. Imagine being married to a stranger and you have no choice but to agree because your parents never allow you to speak.

2 years ago, she got married with Trigger Knights because of her parents and inlaws' business.

They were both unaware of Trigger when he forced them to sign a contract stating that they were both married.

He still remembers how to explode in anger was his wife then. Her voice was full of irritation and anger as she complained. But at the end of the day, he has no choice. They're married.

That same day, Miracle felt jealous of the man. He was jealous to see that she had the freedom to complain. He was jealous that it had the right to speak. As for him, he was just on the side, standing and saying nothing because his father would surely beat him again when he complained.

That's why when they lived together inside their new house. Miracle did everything to understand Trigger's situation. He feels the same way. Confused by the sudden presence of a wife.

And while she's trying to understand his situation, she fell inlove with her husband in contract.

That's the only thing he's holding on to.

They are married.

So as long as their marriage is valid, she will never tire of loving her husband.

The day she signed the contract, it's also the day that she committed her trust and love for Trigger.

Even if she's the only one who's willing to sacrifice everything for Trigger.

A sweet smile flashed on Miracle's lips when she heard the main door opened. She knew that Trigger is already home. She quickly wiped her wet hand on the apron before exiting the kitchen.

She was about to approach her husband when she saw a woman beside him. Miracle was immediately stunned as she watched the two.

"Trigger," she called his name softly.

There was no reaction as the wife turned to him. "Prepare lunch for us."

The woman next to it smiled. "Is she your maid? She's too pretty to be your maid."

Miracle bit her lower lip when she heard what he said. She doesn't even know that Trigger has a wife. Great. This is the first time that Trigger brought a woman inside their house, first time. And it hurts her so much.

"What the hell are you doing? I said prepare food for us!" Miracle was startled by her husband's shout.

When the two passed him, he quickly grabbed Trigger's arm to stop him from walking. "Trigger, who is she?"

The man angrily pushed his hand away. "You don't care. And I won't tell you. You don't have any rights to question me so fuck off."

"I am your wife, so why are you bringing another woman to our house?" sobbing Miracle asked causing the woman's eyes to widen with her husband.

Trigger massaged his nape, anger filled his whole system. Miracle immediately closed her eyes when the man violently grabbed her arm.

"You are my wife? Since when? I never love you, Miracle. You're just a whore for me, a conartist, the woman who ruined my life. No matter where you look I won't consider you a wife." Next the woman sobbed while still bowing. "You should be happy that I am your husband. 'Diba't pera lang naman ang habol mo? How I wanted to slap your pretty face with million dollars so you can get out of my life. But I rather see you suffering."

After saying that, the husband went upstairs with the woman who was watching him. Miracle wanted to hate that woman, but when she saw it look at him, it was just pity for her situation. She has no reason to hate that stranger at all.

She's not like her husband, she doesn't have any rights to hate someone without knowing that person personally. She will never be like her husband.

Miracle sat on the sofa while crying silently. She wiped her face to wipe the tears from her cheeks. She can't handle these things easily. She could bear her husband's pain, her saying things. But to see that it brings a woman to their house, it doesn't make sense at all.

Though discouraged Miracle tried to step up. She heard a noise coming inside their bedroom so she slowly approached there.

The objects he was holding finally collapsed when he heard the woman's growl from inside.

Miracle covered her mouth to stop herself from sobbing.

Great. Her husband is having sex with someone. Inside their own bedroom. On that bed where they used to sleep together.

Miracle walked quickly to enter the guest room. When she locked the door, there poured out the pain and tears she was hiding. She moaned as she covered both ears.

He could hear nothing but the woman's growl, the hurtful words her husband uttered, and her father's hurt for her.

"You will marry Trigger, Miracle. That's all you have to say about your mother's life so you can't do anything!"

"DDad. I don't get it. Why do I have to marry someone I don't know?"

"I said stop asking!"

Miracle's sobs grew louder when she remembered how her own father would lay his hand on her after he tried to confront her. He could not forget the pain every time his heavy hand slapped his cheek and arms.

Her own father locked her inside a room with no bed at all. Her parents starved her for 1 week. He slept on the cold and hard floor for a week. He endured all that just to keep her from complaining.

In all of that, he said nothing. She accepted her fate, she accepted all of it. He is just a toy that his parents will use to grow their business. She's a puppet. She's never been their daughter. She's only a gem when she become useful.

He did not know where the anger of these people against him came from. She never tried hurting them. She never breaks any of their rules. All she ever did was to love her parents and Trigger, to understand them. Even if it takes a few more years, he is willing to endure until they accept that he is also important.

But little by little he was getting tired.

Now his wife brought the woman and had sex with her. It's as if Miracle is just being made to look like she's just a design in the lives of rich people. Miracle's just a small diamond compare to these big golden people.

She'll never be a gold. She'll never be someone's treasure.

That's the fate she need to accept.

Miracle bit her lower lip when she felt her stomach ache. She pulled herself together as she remembered the child in her womb.

He should not be debilitating, he should not be affected. There was a little baby in her womb and she needed to be taken care of.

"Maybe if they won't treat me like a human at all, maybe they'll admire you, baby. I can't wait to see you face this world. I'm sure everyone will like you," she whispered softly while caressing her tummy.

Miracle closed her eyes as the sunlight hit her face.

"When will these people I love treat me like a human?" she whispered. "I'm waiting for the sign. I'm patiently waiting. If not because of my baby, I would give up already. But I can't. I need to hold on. This baby deserves to see the world, this baby deserves to live. So I'll be patient. Even though I'm so tired. " She cried silently as she prayed inside her mind.

"Hi." Miracle looked up when someone spoke in front of her.

She immediately wiped her wet hands before smiling at the girl. "Hello." He still greeted her even though he knew what had happened inside his room with his wife.

"You're Trigger's wife, am I right?" awkward maiden question to him.

Miracle nodded her head. "He doesn't love me. We're just married on paper," he replied immediately.

The girl in front of her smiled a little. "I wonder what's wrong with you. You're a very beautiful woman. You look so nice too. Why does Trigger seem mad at you?" it adds even more calmly.

The woman swallowed at the question heard. She doesn't know how to answer that one.

"Maybe he wanted to be free but I'm a big obstacle in his life. Who wouldn't want to get out of a forced marriage anyway?" she uttered.

The one in front of him smiled. "I am Enica by the way. I'll be glad if we end up being friends"

"You had sex with the man who has a wife, and that woman is me. You still want to be friends with me?" Miracle asked.

"Had sex?" its question. Eventually he hesitated to laugh before looking back in the direction of the stairs. "About that. It's"

"It's okay. It's not your fault. You also didn't know he was married." Miracle accepted the maiden's hand. "I'll gladly be your friend, Enica."

The person in front of him was about to smile when he suddenly looked down at her arms. Enica's eyes widened when she saw so many bruises there.

"Oh gosh." The girl suddenly approached Miracle to take a closer look at his arms.

"What the hell happened to your arms? Why so many bruises?" shocked and mixed with concern in its question voice.

Miracle awkwardly avoided Enica's gaze.

"I'm sstill learning how to cook, sometimes I clap kso I pass" Enica stretched her arm even more.

"Tell me the truth, Miracle. Is Trigger beating you up?" its angry curiosity.

"No!" Miracle immediately answered. "My husband isn't that kind of person"

"He killed many drug lords in front of us and you'll tell me he can't hurt? You knew that aside from being a CEO, your husband has a business underground. And don't blame me for that. You're just sneaking in. "Miracle, are you crazy? Why are you letting that idiot hurt you?" Enica's irritated rebuke.

She took a deep breathe. "When he's just angry, he's hotheaded sometimes so he hurts me."

"Even though! That fucking devil. I'll teach him a fucking lesson." Miracle immediately stopped the girl when she tried to rush to the room where her husband was.

"Don't. Please. He'll hurt me when he finds out I'm complaining. Please, don't be Enica," she pleaded.

Enica immediately faced her. "He's my friend, Miracle. Maybe he'll listen to me. He's not doing it right. He never told us that he has a wife, that's why he's hiding it because he's making you a punching bag ?!"

"He'll never listen to anyone, Enica. PPlease. Just let us go. I'll handle this situation by my own. I'm begging you. Don't cut ties with Trigger because of this. He ' I'll lose a friend and I don't want that to happen, so just forget about my situation. " Full of pleading promise of the woman.

Enica took a deep breathe.

"I need to go. If I stay here any longer, I might throw your wife into the abyss." It angrily grabbed the shoulder bag from the counter before walking away.

Later, Enica immediately turned in his direction.

"You, stay away from him whenever he's angry. Don't show your face. If I come back here and you still have bruises on your arms, I'll beat him to death even if it's impossible. And here." The girl approached him and handed him a calling card.

"If you need my help, call me. If you want to get out of this house, call me. I'll take you away and I'll burn down this house afterwards. Got it?" this question is artistic.

Miracle just nodded her head in surprise.

"Good. Bye, pretty. I'll be back soon." He kissed her cheek before finally leaving the house.

She just stood there, shocked and speechless.

Miracle didn't expect that Enica will be her friend.

Enica just had sex with her husband. He must be angry about it. But the girl also didn't know that Trigger was married, she can't blame Enica either.

But she has the rights to be mad, the case is, she can't get mad at that girl. Enica is just like Shanelle.

Smiling Miracle looked at the calling card he was holding. She met another friend. She's so happy.

"Where's Enica?"

Fear immediately engulfed Miracle's system when her husband's voice was heard in the background.

She faced him. "He's just leaving."

There was no emotion that Trigger passed him, but it suddenly stopped walking in the middle. He faced her with a blank expression. "There will be a party here in my mansion next week. I want you to do your fucking best not to show your face in front of my guests. I'm sure your parents will lock you up inside a room so you wouldn't give us a hard time. But I'm fucking warning you, if you try to tell this to mom and dad, I'll drag your dead body in a river. "

The man quickly left in front of her after threatening her. Miracle just stood there, she can't move a muscle because of what she heard.

Trigger can really kill her if he wanted to.

"Starve that fucking brat and don't let her step outside that room!"

Miracle immediately sat down on the floor and covered both of her ears when she heard her father's voice again.

Afraid he hid in the corner while forcibly dismissing what had happened in the past.

"I said I can fucking handle those stuffs, attorney. I'll let my secretary talk to you. He'll discuss important matters about that partnership." Miracle stopped going downstairs when she heard her husband's angry voice in the living room.

The woman immediately walked towards the direction of her husband who was talking on the phone. It looks troubled and busy.

"I wonder what's happening," she whispered while hiding through the wall.

His wife swallowed her own sense. "Yeah. And those people who kept on badmouthing me behind my back, inside my own company, tell them that I'll be there. I'll attend the meeting after lunch time."

When Trigger put down the cellphone he was holding, there was no sound as the woman walked towards the man.

"Is there a pproblem with the company?" she asked him with a soft tone.

There was no answer as Trigger stood up to pass him.

"Is it about the investors? I hheard from your secretary last night that many pulled out of your project today?" he added.

The man stopped walking and faced her. "Stop sticking your nose in everybody's business, Miracle. You don't"

"But I am your wife legally. I nneed to make sure that you're doing well. Trigger, I also have a right to the company because my parents are your business partners," Miracle replied.

Trigger stood there, he didn't say anything. He just threw the cellphone on the sofa and looked up again to watch her.

"What can your questioning do? Even if you're aware that the company is facing a big dilemma right now, you won't even help. You can't. So stay the fuck out of my business."

She wanted to tell this to Trigger so badly. He knows how nasty the wife is, it doesn't listen to the suggestion of others.

"Who are you to tell me those things?" the man's question expression was dark.

"Do I have to be an important person in your life for you to listen to me? It's the best you can do, Trigger. So they pull out of the company because they don't like the plan you're laying out. You'll lose a big amount of money once they quit, "she explained even though she was nervous. Later, her husband may become angry and hurt her again.

"Fucking money, I don't need their money for my company to be successful. I can even buy their lives." Trigger was about to turn around again but Miracle answered immediately.

"It's not their money that you need. It's their knowledge and power, they're experts in this field. They've been handling companies for a long time so you need them. You'll have a hard time finding a good airline if Mr. Freli pulled out of our company. You will lose a lot. Including the connections they have. Those people are kind and genius ones so it will be difficult for the company to find their replacements. Just this time, Trigger. Listen to their suggestions , "he said calmly.

Trigger clenched his jaw. "No," she said sternly in an angry and raging tone.

Frustrated, Miracle looked after her husband as he rushed up the stairs. She didn't say anything, she just let it act like that. Maybe his head was hot so he would just let the man cool down.

That's the problem with Trigger. He's a good CEO, a very clever one. But he doesn't listen to other people's suggestion. It wants him to follow only his plan, and let others just agree with him.

He doesn't accept suggestions because he always thinks that his plans are the best.

Miracle knew that his plans are really good and outstanding, but for this project, he also disagreed.

Her husband intends to demolish a community because there is too much land there. In addition, they are close to the forest and there are many establishments that can be built. But many people will lose their home.

Yes and the company will refund the price of the damaged materials. But the work of those people is right there on the spot. If they need to leave, they'll have a hard time for sure.

Miracle took a deep breathe. She doesn't know where she got the courage to counsel her husband.

She really hates it when Trigger's company is facing a big problem. Especially and with regard to the course he completed sa such field.

She's known to be the most professional dean lister in her university back then. She's perfectionist when it comes to business. So maybe he suddenly visited and told his wife.

Miracle suddenly missed those old days. Everyone in that university loves her. Those professors are really nice. The people there have a lot of trust in her, they always see her as a woman who will become successful in the near future.

But look where she is now. Caged inside a life she never wished for.

Miracle shook her head and quickly climbed to the second floor. Quickly with feet he walked into the room in the far corner.

A smile immediately appeared on her lips when she saw the painting she was currently finishing.

Her works are scattered around the whole room. He intends to sell his works but he regrets losing them in his hands.

She sat down in front of the painting she's working on. She smiled and caressed her own stomach as she watched the work in front of her.

"I'm excited to see you, baby."

Miracle's hand stopped from painting when one thing struck her mind. He lowered his hand before smiling sweetly.

She hurriedly went outside the room before closing it. He next walked closer to the digital calendar taped to the wall. A smile immediately crept across her lips when she saw the date.

She felt so stupid that she just realized it now. It's October 12, and Trigger's birthday is in October 13. It's his wife's birthday tomorrow but he forgot!

She walked towards their room to see if Trigger's there, but she found no traces of her husband.

"Maybe it's in the company. I'm so tired, I don't want to rest," she softly murmured to herself.

He looked at the digital calendar again. She's so excited for Trigger. She wants her husband to feel happy on her birthday. He only saw Trigger celebrate his own birthday once, and no one else greeted him.

Even Trigger's brothers and parents are mad at him. The Knights family knew what Trigger's doing to her so the whole Knights were wild with the man. Maybe that's one of the reasons why her husband is so mad at her.

Maybe Trigger's blaming her about it.

That's why Miracle never wanted her husband to lose some friends, to lose Enica. He must be so lonely in his life.

In her situation, her parents are also mad at her for unknown reasons. But he was used to such a situation. Even when he was young, he only received beatings and anger from them so it was not new.

But Trigger, the situation is different. He used to be close to his brothers until she came and ruined his life.

Miracle sighed when she remembered that she didn't have a gift for her husband yet. The woman's eyes rolled quickly, wondering what she would give her as a gift.

Trigger has everything, so when he gives material things to it. It doesn't have a pack, and it can't even be excited.

She bit her lower lip before running towards the room where she was. Maybe if she'll paint Trigger's portrait, he'll get excited since it's not something that a person will expect.

Her heart almost jumped with joy as she carefully painted her husband's face. After all, he was always frowning and she had never seen him smile in front of her, she painted Trigger's portrait where he's smiling sweetly.

"I hope he'll like this one," she whispered to herself.

THE woman was tired of lying on the bed when she felt pain in her arms. It took him four hours to paint a picture of the wife.

In the end, her struggles are worth it. Trigger's portrait is the one of the most beautiful piece she ever painted.

He stood up on the bed and set aside the portrait of his wife and her baby. She giggled softly while staring at the two most important people in her life.

"Your father will like you for sure, baby. I hope everything will be okay once he found out about your existence," she whispered while staring at her child's image.

She went down to the kitchen to cook for her husband. Shanelle told her that whenever her husband is tired and stressed, she cooks it. That's why Miracle wanted to that also.

He knew that his wife would come home later. Trigger usually comes home between 12 AM to 2 AM around weekends. It is true that he wanted to greet it at the drop of twelve o'clock.

Seeing how Trigger acted a while ago, it feels like he forgot about his birthday also.

Miracle rolled her eyes when she heard the crackle from the living room. He hurriedly got out of bed and put on the house slippers.

She got out from their bedroom to confirm if her husband is already home. When she peeked from above, she saw Trigger sitting on the sofa while massaging his own forehead.

Miracle hurriedly took the portrait she painted and carry it as she went downstairs. Trigger hadn't noticed his presence yet so he carefully laid the painting on the side.

Before he approached it he felt the cellphone vibrate from inside the pocket. She quickly opened the message from an unknown number.

Hey, pretty! I took your number from Trigger's phone a while ago so don't ask me where I got it. This is Enica. But look at this. Your husband's with someone else a while ago. I wanted to punch him straight on the face but I didn't want to lead you. Do you know this girl, by chance? If not, I'll beat her to death.

After Miracle read Enica's message, she then opened the picture she sent.

She saw Trigger's picture accompanying another woman. And they look sweet.

Miracle smiled bitterly. What else has changed?

She approached Trigger who immediately looked up when she noticed his presence.

"Why are you still awake?" its a cold question.

Miracle felt Trigger's aura in an instant. She knew that he's having a big problem right now. Maybe another issue happened to the company. So even he was lethargic because of the message he received from Enica, instead of wishing her 'Happy birthday', other words came out of his mouth.

"What happened?" she worriedly asked him.

Trigger didn't answer her. She was about to open the lights but Trigger stopped her by grabbing her wrist. "Go to sleep. Don't mind me."

Miracle sluggishly grabbed her hand before staring at her husband.

"You look bothered. Tell me, what happened to you? Is it about the board members?" he asked weakly and cautiously.

The asswa's temper may get worse and he may feel angry. She doesn't want to give Trigger a stressful birthday.

The man averted his eyes. "All of the investors pulled out their investments from the company," it replied weakly.

Miracle's eyes widened. He immediately sat down next to the man. "What? Why? What happened? Did you have a fight?"

Trigger clenched his jaw. "You don't care. Stop asking me."

He got up from his seat but Miracle quickly pulled his wife's arm and made him sit down again. "Trigger tell me what happened. I don't want to be clueless about what's happening to you because you're still my wife."

It snatched the arm from his grasp. "Those jerks pulled out their investments because of my project. There, I said it! That's not my fucking problem here. I called my brothers to help me but they never answered me back. I'm fucking tired of all these bullshits that happened to me in this day, so stop asking me! "

Miracle didn't flinch when Trigger burst out in anger.

All she can see right now is not her husband who's very independent and strong. All she can see right now is her vulnerable husband who's seeking for someone's attention and care. And even his own family can't give that when he's facing a big problem like this.

She pulled his arm before letting him sit on the sofa. Silently his wife sat down. She moved a little to leave some space between them.

"Didn't you really force them to come back? You should offer them something," he said softly.

Trigger massaged his head slowly. "They didn't listen to me. I couldn't stop them because they told me that they have decided already."

"Your project is helpful, Trigger. Many people are looking for a job and your project can help them. But many people will also be affected by what you do," the girl explained.

"You don't understand me. That project can help those people also. I'll give them money to find a new house somewhere. And if you're worried about their jobs, I'll offer them a job also!" the man replied angrily.

She sighed heavily. "By the way, eh. Why are investors mad at you?"

"They can't trust me. They kept on saying that those people are not qualified for the job I'll offer to them. Everyone's telling me not to continue this project, but I planned this for almost one year and I never want to throw it because I trust my self. Seeing those board members' reaction a while ago. I don't know what to do to convince them anymore. Even my brothers doesn't want to help me. " Trigger pulled himself up after saying that.

Miracle placed her one hand on Trigger's back. He lightly patted his wife's back to let her know that he was not alone.

"I believe in you. They'll understand your intentions soon once you talk to them. Baut for now, I believe in you, Trigger."

Slowly the man looked up. "What?"

Miracle quickly removed her hand from the man's back. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touch you"

"You still believe in me even if those people are badmouthing me?"

The woman blinked. "I'm married to you, Trigger. I'm not married to them so I'll believe in you."

Miracle stood up. "Also don't frown anymore." She smiled sweetly before opening the lights.

"Happy birthday!"

Creased when Trigger looked at him. "Birthday? What are you talking about? My birthday's on October 13."

Miracle quickly pointed to the digital calendar. "It's October 13."

Trigger's eyes widened when he saw the calendar. He rubbed his whole face. "Fuck, I didn't even realize that."

The man removed his hand from his face before looking back at him. "You woke up to greet me?"

Miracle nodded her head before walking closer to the painting she had been carrying earlier. She removed the cover before showing it to Trigger. "Good!"

Trigger's eyes were stuck on her painting. Its gaze was not removed from its own portrait.

"What's that? It's my picture, oh shit, why am I fucking smiling there? I never smiled in a camera"

"I painted it," Miracle cutted him off.

She frowned when the man turned to her. It stood to take a closer look at the painting.

"This is your art?"

She smiled before nodding her head. "I never see you smiling that's why you're smiling here. You're stunned, are you amazed at yourself or my work?" he asked.

Trigger immediately removed the amazement from his face. He frowned. "No, it's ugly."

Miracle glanced at her painting. "It's beautiful."

Trigger pointed out the small drip of paint on the side. "It's messy. I don't like it."

The woman frowned at what her husband had pointed out. "It's just a drip of paint. It's not even messy. 'Then you're smiling here, you're so handsome"

"No. I don't like it. If you really love this painting then you can keep it inside our room. But me?" Trigger roamed his eyes on the painting again, trying to hide the amusement in his eyes. "I hate it. Keep it if you love it too much. But it's not even that beautiful."

He was about to leave when Miracle held his wrist again.

"Wait, it's not over yet."

She pulled her husband, dragging him to the kitchen. He turned on the light and immediately the two of them opened the prepared food.

In the middle is a large cake that he himself baked.

"Why is there so much food in here?" he asked her.

"We'll celebrate your birthday. Or if you don't want me near." Miracle stepped slightly away from the wife. "I'll give you space if you don't want me near. Just eat."

He rolled his eyes before sitting on the dining area. Miracle didn't notice the shock in her eyes when her husband sat down in front of the food.

This is the first time that Trigger will taste the food she cooked. She wanted to cry in happiness but it's not the right time for that.

Miracle placed the plate and utensils in front of Trigger. She was about to serve him but he stopped her by holding her wrist.

"I can move. Come with me. I hate eating alone." Although the woman was shocked, she chose to follow her husband.

"Ahm, where will I sit? Here?" She pointed to the chair that's five meters away from Trigger.

He tsked at her. "Beside me. Hurry up, you're making me mad."

Miracle didn't say anything. He just sat in the chair to the left of the wife and started taking food.

She can't help but to stare at her husband who's now eating the food she cooked. It used to be just his dream. But now, it's happening. She couldn't believe her own eyes.

MIRACLE pouted her lips while staring at the painting. He left his wife in the dining room for a while because she was still busy washing her hands.

Trigger doesn't like her art so she's planning to throw it away. He will just do something new again, just in case his wife likes it.

She carried it and was about to throw it outside when Trigger saw her.

"What are you going to do with it?" wrinkled when his wife asked.

"I'll throw it away, you said I'll throw it away"

"No!" its cry. But he also calmed down immediately when he saw her reaction. "I mean, you can keep it if you want it. I just don't find it beautiful, but you keep fucking keep it."

Miracle shook her head. "I don't want to keep a failure that's why I'm going to throw it away."

"No," Trigger replied sternly.

"Why? I thought you didn't like it?" wrinkled when Miracle asked.

"It's ..." The man's eyes rolled. He opened his mouth like he's about to say something, but his forehead immediately wrinkled as if he was still angry. "It's beautiful."

Miracle stood there, surprised and speechless. He just watched his wife rush up the stairs.

"It's beautiful?" she uttered while looking at her art.

Miracle carefully put the plate and utensils on the table. He only served one person because he knew his wife would not eat breakfast.

"What?"

The woman immediately walked out of the kitchen when she heard her husband's voice from the living room.

She saw Trigger sitting on the sofa while talking to someone over the phone.

"So you're telling me that it was her parents who approached you to set up that wedding?"

Miracle decided to hide while listening to Trigger. She doesn't know what wedding it refers to.

The woman winced when her husband lightly hit the wall.

"Why did you tell this to me just now, attorney ?! I fucking confirmed it to you multiple times if it was my wife who went there and convinced you to arrange a wedding for the both of us. But you're telling this to me, right now, that it was her parents who paid you? "

Miracle just frowned when she couldn't understand what he was saying. He was a bit far from Trigger's position so he couldn't understand some of the man's words.

She just went inside the kitchen once again to clean the kitchen counter.

But he also immediately turned to where his wife was when she called his name.

She saw Trigger sitting on the sofa while massaging his forehead.

"Why? Are you leaving? It's probably your morning. Is there a problem with the company again?" she asked him politely.

The man turned to her. "Where have you been?"

"I was in the kitchen. I cooked some breakfast. Do you want to eat first? I'll prepare you."

His wife frowned. "You know that I don't eat breakfast. You're just wasting some food when you're eating it all by yourself."

Miracle smiled bitterly. "It's okay. It's not wasted. Shanelle's husband comes here every morning to pick up the breakfast I'm cooking since Shanelle's favorite is my cooking. So it's okay. All right, be careful."

She was about to go inside the kitchen when he faked a cough.

"What did you say? You're letting a man come into our house?"

Our? Miracle silently whispered inside her mind.

"IIdon't let him in. He has a car, 'cause we're just outside the gate talking so"

"And now you're talking back to me?" his wife's answer was unbelievable.

"No, Trigger, not like that. II'm not really letting him in."

"Forget that! Don't ever give some food without my consent."

She bowed her head a little. "SSorry. Not anymore, ppromise."

Trigger stared at him. "You're making me mad, and I suddenly got hungry because of that. Move. I'll eat first."

Unbeknownst to her, the man passed her and went straight into the kitchen.

Miracle was left stunned for a few more seconds before he returned to reality. She walked towards the kitchen and saw Trigger sitting on the dining area.

The woman came here to serve but the man weakly shook her hand. "Stop serving me. Have you eaten yet?"

She shook her head. "MI'll eat later when you leave."

Trigger angrily grabbed the seat to the right before moving it away. "Sit."

"Trigger, mlater"

"I said sit," its tone was furious.

Miracle just sat on the chair without saying anything. He just ate with his wife because he might get very angry later.

"Miracle."

The woman turned to the man as he called her name. "Why? Are you thirsty? Wait a minute"

"For how long your parents are badmouthing you in front of everyone?" Miracle was silent at what her husband asked.

It seems like she forgot to speak for a moment.

Why would a man ask such a question in the middle of a meal? Maybe he's about to insult her too.

"Badmouthing? You knew for how long, Trigger. You know how my parents insult me ​​in front of you all so why would you ask me that?" Her eyes watered when she said that.

"It's not like that. Listen."

"If you're here to brag about my parents being on your side, then stop. Stop acting like you can't hear the tone in their voices whenever they're talking to me, Trigger. And if you're asking for how long, I don't know also. Since I've been brainwashed, they don't really like me anymore so I can't answer you either, "he answered calmly.

Trigger stayed silent for a minute.

"I was just asking." There was a thud in its tone before he glanced at her.

Miracle cleared her throat. "I'm sorry for being rude. I just don't like ptalking about them, Trigger. I'm really sorry."

He tsked at her. "Just ask once you're still angry." It exploded continuing to eat while slightly frowning.

She just sighed. This is exactly right. His wife would initiate a conversation once but he still interrupted it.

"Oh, he's here. Just wait, I'll just give this paperbag to Shanelle's wife." Miracle grab the paperbag on her side when she heard the loud noise coming from the outside.

He walked quickly out of the house before opening the gate. Shanelle's husband's car opened up to him immediately.

Miracle approached Eric who immediately smiled at her. "Hi, Miracle! I'm sorry if it's a little early, my wife is howling again."

She giggled because of that, she simply handed over the breakfast prepared for her friend. "It's okay. I also woke up early. Just let Shanelle know that I'll come to you sometime to visit the kids."

Eric smiled sweetly. "Sure! My wife and my kids will be happy to see you. Thank you for this one again. I have to go."

The man waved at her before she finally left.

Miracle happily entered the gate before walking straight towards the door. But he also stopped walking when he saw his wife leaning against the door jamb and staring at him.

"How did you know he's coming?"

She took her phone from her pocket before showing Eric's message.

"She texts me when she's close to get the food. Then for Shanelle the"

She stopped stalking when Trigger aggressively grab her phone.

"Husband of Shanelle. That's the name registered on his number and my name registered on your contacts is Trigger? Fucking Trigger?" his wife asked incredulously.

"WWhat's the matter with that?" the woman asked incredulously.

"You're naming someone's husband as 'husband' and I am registered on your phone with this name? Trigger, huh?" He angrily typed into his cellphone before handing it back.

Miracle's gaze followed her husband as he passed her and went straight to the car.

The woman looked down at her cellphone. Trigger changed his name registered on his number.

From Trigger to Your Fucking Husband.

Miracle held her cheeks with what she read.

"Why did you just say now that it's your event? I hope I can at least prepare the suits for you to wear," Miracle said while packing her husband's clothes.

"My secretary just told me about that fucking event a while ago. You can't blame me. Just fix it there," his wife replied to him.

The woman took a deep breath before looking back at her husband. "You choose your suits, I don't know the types to use."

Trigger immediately stood beside her. It turned to the tuxedos in front.

"What's the matter with me?" its a cold question.

Miracle frowned. "You're handsome, any clothes suit you."

Trigger smirked with her answer. "You find me handsome?"

"Sure. Don't you know that yourself?"

"Of course I am fucking aware. It just sounds good hearing that from you." It passed him while still smiling.

Miracle stared at her husband unbelievably. He didn't know what wind was blowing on it and it suddenly became kind to him. Did it bump somewhere?

"I'll be back, just have to answer this call from that stupid manager," Trigger said coldly.

The man walked closer to the door of their room to open it, but the two of them immediately frowned when the man slapped the opening.

"Why?" Miracle asked softly before stepping closer to her husband.

Trigger tried opening the door again but it's locked.

"Fuck. What the hell is happening," he groaned heavily.

"Wait, why are you so aggressive in opening up. It's right there," Miracle calmly groaned and moved slightly further away from the man.

Trigger gave way to her. "Tsk, let's see if you can open it by yourself."

He just ignored the man in the back. Miracle also tried to turn the door but he slammed.

Trigger gently rebuffed him. "Wait, why are you so slow to open. Beside that," he mocked her.

Miracle just pouted her lips before taking a step back. He just let his wife fix that door.

"Fuck. Come with me, touch me," the man said softly as he kicked the door furiously.

"You can't open that door by kicking it. It's a digital door, it opens on the outside when you input the code," Miracle said.

"I know."

Trigger rolled his eyes at her in a manly way.

Silently Miracle just sat on the bed and watched the wife in front.

"Give me my phone, I'll call my secretary."

She immediately grabbed his phone on the side table as she hand it to him.

No one thinks Trigger typed on the cellphone before the caller answered.

"Hey. Yeah, it's me. Come here to my house, my wife and I were locked inside our room and we can't open this fucking door. Yeah."

The woman immediately approached the man when he dropped the call. "You called for help?"

He nodded his head. "We can only open this door if someone opens it from the outside."

Trigger sat on the floor and lean on the door behind him. He looked up at the woman who was just standing in front of him.

"What are you doing there? Sit beside me. You're going to be there, fool," he said coldly.

Miracle pointed out the bed. "We can sit there."

Trigger pointed the space beside him. "Sit here," he said stiffly.

Miracle could do nothing but sit next to the man. She sat quietly while waiting for her husband to say something.

"How's your childhood days, Miracle?" Trigger asked out of no where.

The woman immediately looked at it. "Are you?"

Trigger nodded before smiling sparingly at the absence. "It's enjoying. Especially that I have my brothers by my side back then. It's really a good experience."

"Do you miss them?"

"Kind of. I never had a chance to talk to them again."

"I'm pretty sure they're amazing like you," Miracle said with a smile on her face.

The wife turned to him. "I am not like them. They're almost perfect."

"You are, amazing, for me. I'm sure everyone admires you for being the CEO of a big empire at your young age. You're smart, Trigger, you're not intimidated by anyone so I'm sure many admire you. I am one of them, "she answered.

Trigger gazed at her. "How about you?"

"What?"

"Your childhood. How about you?"

Miracle awkwardly points herself. "Me? I have nothing to tell you. My childhood days are not that happy and enjoying, it's not something that I can be proud of."

"Why?

She smiled bitterly while remembering those days. Since he was a child, he has been beaten and his parents have been talking to him about various things.

"It's a nightmare," she whispered softly.

The astonishment on his wife's face was obvious as she looked back at it. "Nightmare? Why? Did your parents hit you?"

She shook her head, trying to cover up her parents' mistakes. "They never did. A lot just happened to me before, I don't want to tell you anymore, but my childhood wasn't really good. So I'm glad you were happy when you were young. Atleast I can breathe properly that you had an amazing childhood. "

He chuckled. "It's not that amazing. Our parents trained us hard. We suffered also from those sleepless nights. But I enjoyed it."

"Your parents are amazing, Trigger. I really like them."

"Don't you like your own parents?"

Miracle shook her head. "I love them. I'm just amazed by how your parents treat other people. They treat me like I'm their daughter. My own parents couldn't even trust me, it's a relief that tita Yians and tito Cronus trust me. I envy you for having them. " She smiled bitterly.

"If I would be a mother soon, I'll take care of my children the way how I want to be treated. Every children deserves that," she added.

Trigger faked a cough. "You want to have a child soon?"

Miracle gulped. She wanted to tell Trigger about their baby. But he is reluctant to admit it.

She was about to open her mouth to tell Trigger about her pregnancy when the door suddenly opened. They immediately moved away from there.

"Boss, did I last long?" Trigger's secretary is already here.

The man looked at his wife before shaking his head. "No."

Trigger grabbed his luggage on the bed before giving it to his secretary. He turned to Miracle.

"I'll be back tomorrow. Cook a dinner for me."

She smiled sweetly before nodding her head.

Miracle leaned carefully on the sofa while earnestly watching a show about the pregnant woman.

She wanted the best for her baby so lately she has been having fun with these kinds of shows.

He just tried to comfort himself while waiting for his wife for dinner. Trigger told her to cook for dinner and she already did, only the man's presence was missing.

She turned her gaze at the door when she heard some noise. He quickly got up from the seat to open up to his wife.

"Trigger," she whispered softly when her husband appeared right in front of her eyes.

"What?" its cold question before he passed. Miracle immediately closed the door.

"How are you? Are you tired? Do you want to rest first?" she asked him while he's busy removing his tie.

"I told you that I'll eat dinner with you."

She swallowed many times. "I cooked a lot of food in the kitchen. Get dressed first, I guess you've been wearing that before," he said, referring to his wife's suit.

Trigger removed his coat before tilting his head. "I bought something, it's a board with snakes and ladders shits, the lady told me that it's an interesting game. Let's play after eating."

The man gently pulled his wristband to take her to the kitchen. Trigger immediately sat on the chair before gesturing her to sit also.

Miracle sat silently in the chair to her husband's right.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Eat," he commanded authoritatively.

The woman was very aggressive. "I ate kearlier. I thought you weren't coming so I ate nwhen I was hungry."

Trigger stopped eating when she said that. It looked up at him. "Why didn't you wait for me?"

"I'm sorry. You always came home so early in the morning so I didn't expect you to come home early."

"You should have waited for me atleast until 8 o 'clock."

Miracle just nodded. "I'll just eat again if you're angry."

"Nevermind." Trigger walked out from the kitchen.

The woman just sighed because of that. She wanted to slap herself from ruining the moment. I hope he just ate again even though he was full. Edi hopes her husband doesn't lose his mood.

Miracle's eyes widened when Trigger came back, he placed a plastic bag in front of her before returning to his seat.

"What's this?" Miracle asked before starting to open the paper bag.

"It's a dessert I bought there, I heard that it's good for pregnant women."

Miracle's eyes widened at the husband's answer. He looked at it but it was just looking deep at him.

"What? Aren't you pregnant?"

She gulped. How did the man know she was pregnant?

She opened her mouth, she was about to say something but Trigger just let out a soft laugh.

"I'm kidding. How can you get pregnant when nothing happened to us?" laughed at this promise before resuming the meal.

The woman just bowed because of that. As usual, Trigger doesn't really remember about that night. It didn't know something had happened to them because it was so drunk.

She just sighed before opening the small container. The foul smell of dessert immediately surrounded his nose.

Miracle quickly stood up from her seat before running towards the sink. He was nauseous because of the smell he inhaled. That dessert smells awful!

He heard his wife's footsteps behind him. She can feel how Trigger's hand caresses her back.

"What happened to you?"

The woman turned on the faucet before rinsing her mouth. She also took the mouthwash on the side and drank it.

He confronted the wife who immediately walked closer to the dessert she had bought. It lifted the container and smelled the food.

"What? It smells good."

Miracle pinched herself. It's pregnancy things that Trigger won't understand.

"I'm sorry, it smells awful for me," she answered.

His wife frowned. "I thought you'll like it." He picked up the dessert again before throwing it in the trash.

"I'm done eating. Let's play a game."

There was a tinge of excitement in his voice as he laid a board on the table.

Miracle on the other hand walked towards her husband. "Oh, it's Snakes and Ladders."

"You know this game?" his wife asked.

She nodded her head. "I love it to get rid of boredom. How come you never knew about this?"

"I have no time for shits I mean for fucking Fuck! Why can't I stop myself from cursing ?!" its cheap.

Miracle chuckled with his actions. "Yeah, I get it. You don't have time for that? Come on, I'll just teach you. That's easy to understand."

She assembled the board and took the dice and small objects.

"Since we only have two to play, we only need two chips. One for you and one for me." He handed the blue chip to his wife who immediately accepted it.

"I'll roll the dice and how many numbers are on the dice, how many times do you have to move your chip, okay?" Trigger nodded obediently.

"You first first. You also roll the dice. Put your chip here in the very first box. "

The man obeyed. Since six is ​​the total number of the dice result, Trigger moved his chip according to that number. Its chip stopped on the ladder.

"What does this ladder mean?" he asked.

"When you hit the snake, you will fall or go back to the end of its tail. When you stop there, it means you will go up to the end of the ladder. Move your chip up." She held his hand to accompany him.

Smiling, the man turned to her. "Hell nah, I'm higher than you."

Miracle just smirked. "I think I'm the MVP here. Watch and learn. It's all about luck."

She rolled the dice seriously. Now the result is 8. She moved her chip according to that number and smiled afterwards. He was also stunned by the stairs.

He immediately climbed the chip towards the end of the ladder, just as Miracle expected he was now taller than Trigger.

"What ?! You're a cheater!" Trigger exclaimed angrily.

"What? I didn't do anything," Miracle answered back.

Creased when the man snatched the dice from her. "I'll win against you. Watch me."
