2. Never Changed

Mike did not listen to Tiffany's explanation, Mike chose to go from the dining room to the room, and Tiffany could only stare at Mike's departure who was always like that.

"Yes, you've always been like that," said Tiffany with teary eyes.

It seems like Tiffany's heart is made of steel because over the years she's been able to relax about Mike's attitude and behavior. However, we never know what's really in Tiffany's heart, surely Tiffany's heart is very sad and broken because Mike is always like that.

"Amel, when you grow up, you have to be happier than Mom, you have to marry a man who loves you and never marry a man you love, like Mom to Daddy." Tiffany's voice was very sad when she said that, Tiffany spoke alone in the dining room.

Tiffany started to clean the dirty tableware and then went to the room, but before Tiffany went to the room, Tiffany made a cup of tea for Mike, because Mike really liked tea.

"If you don't want to eat, you can drink this," Tiffany said when she was in the room and put the cup on the table, a small table next to the bed near Mike.

"I had dinner before coming home and I've been drinking a lot today." Mike seemed to refuse the drink that Tiffany had made for him.

Tiffany began to smile slightly. "Okay, you can throw away my tea or drink it when you wake up in the middle of the night," said Tiffany who was holding back because Mike always refused her gifts.

No answer from Mike made Tiffany go straight to the bathroom.

Arrived at the bathroom. "Patience, Tiffany." Tiffany tried to calm herself down.

Tiffany began to wash her face before going to bed and approached Mike when she was finished from the bathroom.

"Want some snacks?" Tiffany offered a snack to Mike who was sitting in his chair.

"No," Mike said very briefly.

"Don't overwork yourself, you need a break and it's time for bed." Tiffany tried to understand Mike's busy schedule.

"If you're sleepy you go to bed first." Mike's voice sounded loud in the room.

Tiffany just gave him a smile and started to lay down on the bed without responding to Mike's words. Tiffany closed her eyes and wanted to sleep, but she couldn't.

A few minutes later. "I don't know how long you'll be like this with Amel," Tiffany said in a low voice like she was whispering.

"What are you talking about?" Mike didn't understand what Tiffany was saying.

Tiffany started to catch her breath so she wouldn't get angry, then she got up from her bed and looked at Mike. "I mean, you can be cold with me, but not with Amel, Amel is your child, you have to understand what a child wants." Tiffany explained with her eyes starting to sparkle.

"My child? The one who wants to have a child is you, not me." Mike said that without caring about Tiffany's feelings.

If Tiffany wanted to get angry maybe Tiffany could do that, but Tiffany was always patient with Mike's attitude and behavior like that, Tiffany really had a heart like an angel.

"You're right, the one who wants to have children is me, but however Amelia is your child and your flesh and blood, please understand Amelia." Tiffany said that in a low voice and a voice full of hope that Mike would change his bad behavior to good for Amelia's sake.

Mike was silent when he heard Tiffany's words, his eyes which had been looking at Tiffany now immediately looked at the laptop screen on the work table.

"I know that until this moment you never loved me, Mike," said Tiffany, who was almost shedding tears. However, Tiffany tried to be strong in front of Mike.

"It's good that you know that." Mike was still cold with Tiffany.

Tiffany forced a smile to cover her heartache. "Stella must be happy because you still keep that love for Stella, Stella is beautiful, but I didn't think that Stella managed to snatch your love from me," said Tiffany who immediately discussed other women.

"No need to discuss Stella when we're alone!" Mike didn't like what Tiffany was saying at the moment.

Stella? Who is Stella that Tiffany is referring to? Who else if not Mike's girlfriend.

"I don't know how long I'm going to hold on to everything." Tiffany's voice was very sad, sad because her marriage was only happy when in front of people. However, the reality of Tiffany's marriage with Mike was very sad.

"If you bring up Stella again, I won't come home again." Mike began to threaten.

"You're always like that with me, Mike." Tiffany was tired of all Mike's threats.

Tiffany laid back on the bed and closed her eyes, but tears started to roll down her cheeks.

'God, I know that Mike will never change, but please change my destiny or my fate so that I'm not with Mike,' Tiffany said in her heart of hearts.

Tiffany's heart was broken into pieces, but Tiffany always stayed with Mike, Mike who would never change made Tiffany start to get tired, tired of having to survive with a man who had never loved her and a man who never appreciated her presence.

'Have I hurt Tiffany's heart?' Mike asked in his heart.

Mike was always cold to Tiffany, but sometimes Mike's heart was always sad and couldn't bear Tiffany. However, Mike will never change and will always love Stella until whenever. Stella is Mike's ex-girlfriend, but they have become lovers again. Does Stella not know that Mike is married to Tiffany? Surely Stella knows, what's more Tiffany and Mike's wedding was very luxurious and broadcast live on various TV channels. However, Stella stayed with Mike and ignored the feelings of Tiffany and Steven. Steve? Who is Steven? Steve is Stella's husband. What? So Stella is married? Yes, Stella is married to Steve. Then, does Steven know about the illicit relationship between Stella and Mike?

'Whatever, the important thing is that I still support my wife and child.' Mike said that in his heart.

Don't know what Mike was thinking when he loved Stella, but Mike was like that because the past with Stella was not finished, and more precisely Mike married Tiffany because of his family and for status alone, what's more Mike is a businessman making Mike forced to have a wife so as not to get any rumors. However, Mike has hurt Tiffany very much and made people believe that Tiffany's marriage and household with Mike are happy, but the reality is not. Tiffany has always kept all this from her family and the public, especially since Tiffany is a public figure, so she has to keep a tight lid on the ugliness of her household.

'Stella's birthday is tomorrow. Mike said again in his heart and remembered that tomorrow was Stella's birthday.
