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

"G-Good 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, w-what 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 s-swear. I didn't g-do 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 d-do anything. I swear, Trigger. P-Please, 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 s-sorry, 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.

"A-Ayan, 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 in-laws' 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 con-artist, 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!"

"D-Dad. 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.
