Trust

Azalea is patiently waiting for her husband to come home. Her eyes were swollen with tears after reading the papers that Sue sends her. She is claiming that she's pregnant and Jack is the father of her child. She wants to run and hide from him for a while. She doesn't know if she can handle the truth if her husband admits it himself, that it was his child. She knows her heart will be broken into million pieces but she promised him that they will going to talk first when a problem came before deciding what to do next.

Jack came home after more than an hour and didn't greet Butler Chan when he opened the door for him. He went straight to their bedroom and found his wife already fell asleep with some teardrops on her cheeks. A bitter smile formed on his lips. He felt pity on his poor wife who waited for him while crying her heart out. He sits beside the bed and touched his wife's face. He grant her a kiss that comes deep from his heart and call her name.

"Azalea.... My love.... Wake up". He took her hand and kiss it while his other hand is gently rubbing her back.

Azalea slowly opens her eyes and saw Jack in front of her, watching her sleep. She quickly sits down on the edge of the bed and hugs him tightly.

"Are you going to leave me now?". Her tears falls and her voice breaks from asking. She don't want to let go of him.

"Who told you that?". He can't believed she will asked him that kind of question. He thought he is the only one afraid to be left behind. Now he realized both of them wants to hold each other till they grow old.

"Sue is pregnant and she wants me, to give you back to her for the sake of her baby". She sounds like a child who's candy was taken and asking for big brother's help. She's even wiping her tears with her hands like a cute little girl.

Jack's corner lips curved up. She looks very adorable in his eyes while she is crying and he can't help himself to pat her head. He kissed her tears and tried to calm her down.

"Azalea, listen to all the word I will say, okay". He is very calm and his voice is very gentle he wants her to focus on his explanation. "Sue is almost three months pregnant but I've never touched her for more than three months after I marry you. Since the day I signed our marriage contract I already decided to respect it, even if it was forced to us. It means I never slept with any woman even her after our marriage ". He confessed his secret to her. Even if it was the time that he hasn't recognized her as the little girl back in Russia whom he promised himself to be her future husband.

"You did?". She almost can't believed what she was hearing. It means he deprived himself the pleasure of another woman's body just because he was married to her.

"I know all Sue's activities but as a man who was once involved with her I still do respect the time that she shared with me, as my woman before". He is looking deep in his wife's beautiful and innocent eyes. The pair that always captivates him.

Azalea was just listening and nodding to everything he is telling her. She feels like believing every words that will come out from his mouth.

"My love.... Can you promise me one thing". He is seriously asking her a favor.

"Anything!". Azalea feels like she will do everything he will ask for without any regret or animosity.

"This incident might take a long time before I can actually clear it, I want you to say nothing about this". He paused to see her reaction. "There will be some places that you might encounter Sue and she might humiliate you or scorn you..... Promise me that you won't retaliate or fight back against her. Just walk away from her..... Can you do that?". Jack is expecting her to argue and ask questions about his idea.

" Okay! ". She nod repeatedly at him.

" Aren't you going to ask me why? ". He was surprised with his wife's answer. She just agreed without a question.

"No.... I trust you". She honestly said to him. She knows her husband has a plan and all she needs to do is to put all her trust to him and wait.

Jack was very overwhelmed with the great trust that she is giving him. He knows that she is a powerful woman but with him she is just a plain, submissive and obeying woman under her husband's wings. He loves the feeling that she is letting him protect her, the way it supposed to be.

"I just need a little more time my love and everything will going to be fine". He promised himself that no harm will come to his wife. Even if he used the dirtiest method he knows he will do it as long as she is safe.

That night he made love to her with intensed feelings and treats her more precious than any gem. He wants her to feel that she owns him whole, heart and soul and not only his body.

Azalea fell asleep in his arms and he can't stop kissing her forehead. He doesn't only love his woman but also respects her. "Stay strong my love, this is not the only storm we are going to face together and as long as you're with me, we will get through it". He kissed her lips gently and pull out his arms from her body. He makes sure she's in a deep sleep before he rose up from their bed and put a clothes on. He grabs his phone and went to his study room.

"Corbin, what's the status?".

"The rumors are circling fast in the social media and everyone are in to it. Sue knows how to get all the people's sympathy....She's really good at this". Corbin is observing the news in the social media about Jack and Sue's pregnancy issue. It became one of the top ten most searched news and he is not surprised, Sue knows how to use internet for her own gain.

"Good..... Let her do what she wants for now, she will eventually going to regret it one day". Jack's lips curved up slyly. He knows she is threading bomb and it will going to explode in her own face soon.

"What about Ms. Son?". Corbin asked, he needs to know if this matter needs to be hide from his Boss' wife.

"I already told her not to do anything and she agreed, but don't tell her about this". He don't want to lie to her but he still needs to hide their plan for her own sake.

"How about Sue Antaler's child". Corbin is not worried about her, not even care if she is truly pregnant or not. He just wants to be specific about the work they will do.

"We are not going to do anything, she is the one who's digging her own grave.... We will just going to watch till it's over". As he watched the moon outside his windows Jack's eyes gleams, borrowing some light from the moon, and a devilish smiled followed. He already anticipating the outcome of their plan without lifting a finger.
