EPISODE 39
Tim carried Kira to work. The two of them did not talk until they reached J international school.
Tim just let Kira open the car door and then he drove away without even saying goodbye.
Kira’s gaze followed Tim’s car and then she sighs!
‘Is it wrong to hide it from him?’
‘I just don’t want to add to his troubles.’ Kira said to her self.
Tim watched Kira throu-gh the rearview mirror. He saw when Kira turned to enter the second gate.
Tim stepped on the br@ke and pu-lled over the car, and then he made a U-turn and went back to the second gate to talk to Kira. He doesn’t want to leave like this.
He felt so bothered.
Communication is the best foundation for every relationship.
Tim parked the car outside the gate. He walks towards the gate and was about to enter but the security guard prevented him.
“Excuse me, sir! May I see your Identification Card?” The security asked.
Tim took his wallet and gave his identification card to the security, the security was a bit stunned when he re-ad Tim’s name.
“Oh, you can get inside Mr. Tan! I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you, sir!” The security apologized.
Tim just nodded his head, he took back his Identification card and walks away.
Tim headed to the admin office, but his footsteps came to a stop when he saw something.
——
Kira is walking to the admin office when he heard someone called her..
“Kira!”
Kira stopped in her track and she turned her head to the voice’s direction.
“Alex!” Kira blurted out when she saw Alex approaching her.
“How are you feeling?” Alex asked as soon as he reached Kira.
“I-I’m fine…” Kira replied.
“Kira, there is something I want to tell you,” Alex said.
“What is it?”
“From now on, you should be more careful,” Alex warned Kira.
“Why?” Kira asked again.
“I think, someone is targetting you,” Alex said.
“How do you say that?” Kira knitted her brows.
“This is all I could say for now. It would be better if you won’t leave alone. It is not safe for you to be alone outside, those men might be back for you.” Alex said.
“But, who would target me?” Kira tried to think.
Kira froze…
Madame Gezel has alre-ady gone back to E Country and Gaile in L Country did they brib£d someone to take revenge on me?
Kira couldn’t think anyone else who would do this to her.
Kira snapped back to her se-nses when Alex suddenly hold her hand, she automatically looks up at him.
“Kira, plea-se be careful always, I think it’s better to tell your husband about this. He can surely give you protec-tion.” Alex suggested.
Yes! He is re-ady to protect Kira, but he has his limit.
He’s not on her side every minute, he doesn’t know when will they attack her again.
If Kira will tell Tim about this, Alex is sure that Tim could provide Kira a personal b©dyguard to protect her from any danger!
Meanwhile, not far from them, Tim stepped back.
He saw how Alex held Kira’s hand and she did not object.
Tim doesn’t want to judge by what he saw, but he couldn’t help but feel jealous. He doesn’t want another man to hold or even just tou-chhis woman.
Tim couldn’t stay here any longer.
He is afraid, he might lose his temper and hurt Alex, he should leave before he can cause trouble.
With that thought, Tim turned away and headed to the exit. He rode in his car and drove away.
—–
Mr. Fuente is in his office, he is sitting on his chair in front of his wooden table while re-ading doc-uments when his phone suddenly rings!
He stopped re-ading the doc-uments.
“Yes.” He said plainly.
“Boss, I have good news.” The man from the other line said.
“You captured another photo of them?” Mr. Fuente man asked.
“It is better than capturing a photo of them together, boss.”
The old man knitted his brows, ” I’m interested.” he said with excitement.
“So, tell me.” He added.
“I don’t nee-d to capture another photo of them together, Boss.”
“Why?”
“Because Mr. Tan saw them with his eyes”
“Oh! That’s better then!” The old man smi-rked.
“It’s time to se-nd those photos to Tim.”
“Yes, boss” the man replied.
The old man turned off his phone and he revealed a smile of victory.
“Get re-ady to suffer, woman” He said with his sharp gaze.
—–
Tim is sitting in his swivel chair while in de-ep thought.
(Knock, knock, knock!)
Tim snapped back to his se-nses when he heard the knock on the door.
“Come in!” He responds.
The door slowly opened, “Good morning, Mr. Tan” it was Coby.
“Mr. Tan, someb©dy se-nt you this…” Coby said while showing the brown envelope to Tim.
He walks closer to Tim’s table and put it at the top of his table.
Tim knitted his brows as he looks at the envelope.
“Who se-nt this?” he asked.
“It’s anonymous, sir” Coby replied.
Tim picked up the envelope, he took a look at it before he re-moved the seal.
Tim shoves and he slowly pu-lled out the content of the envelope, and his expression slowly changed when he saw what it is.
It was a photo of a man and a woman inside the car.
The woman seems like she is lying on the backseat while the man in a teacher’s uniform is on top of her. Just by seeing this photo, it seems like these two people are doing a thing which only married couples should do.
Tim proceeds to the next photo and he felt like someone splashed him ice-cold water and his hand started to tremble as he stared at the photo.
‘No! It can’t be!’ Tim said to himself.
There are two people in the photo.
It’s Kira and Alex!
Alex is wearing the same uniform as the man in the first photo. This time the two of them have got out of the car.
Alex is holding Kira’s things with his left hand while the other is holding Kira’s hand.
Tim suddenly remember Kira’s strange behavior this morning, and then he also remember what he saw at the school.
Is this the reason why she’s acting strange?
Is this the reason why she can’t look at me in the eyes?
Is she having an affair with Alex and she felt guilty about it?
“Mr. Tan, are you alright?” Coby asked when he noticed Tim’s change of expression.
“Get out,” Tim said coldly.
“But, Mr. Tan—”
“I said get out!” Tim has gone furious!
Coby instantly shut her mouth when Tim yelled.
“Alright, Mr. Tan,” he said as he stepped back, turned away, and then he walks out of Tim’s office..
Just then, Mr. Fuente arrived as soon as Coby closed the door of Tim’s office.
“Good morning, Mr. Fuente.” Coby bowed his head as he greeted Mr. Fuente.
“Good morning,” Mr. Fuente replied. ” Is Tim inside his office?” He asked.
“Yes, Mr. Fuente,” Coby replied.
“May I speak with him?” Mr. Fuente asked again.
” I’m sorry, Mr. Fuente, but Mr. Tan is not available at the moment,” Coby replied.
“Why?” Mr. Fuente asked as if he doesn’t have any idea.
“Mr. Tan is not in a mood to right now,” Coby said,
“Oh!” Mr. Fuente blurted out.
“I’ll be right back when he feels alright alre-ady,” He added.
“Alright, Mr. Fuente,” Coby replied.
Mr. Fuente turn to leave, but he revealed an evil sm-irk as soon as he turned his back away from Coby.
‘It works, all I have to do is to wait until he dumps that woman!’ He thought.
Back inside Tim’s office…
I thought everything is alright between us!
Tim couldn’t help but feel insecure!
He knows Kira doesn’t love him from the very start.
He knows that she likes Alex, she was just for-ced to marry him for her auntie’s sake!
Tim closed his eyes ti-ghtly as he put his hand on his head.
He doesn’t know what to think of anymore.
His heart refused to believe that Kira might be cheating on him, but his mind says, it is possible!
—–
She will take Alex’s advice.
She will tell Tim what happened yesterday.
Kira keeps on pacing back and forth, she is restless
After a while, she heard a car’s engine coming. She stopped pacing back and forth and got out of the house.
She waited for Tim to gets down of the car.
“Tim…” Kira called when she saw Tim.
“Can we talk?” Kira added.
Tim froze…
He glanced at Kira, “I’m busy.” He said, and then he just pas-sed Kira and headed straight upstairs.
Kira was left alone outside the door.
Tim is treating her cold.
Is it because of what happened this morning?
Kira felt like crying, it was her fault!
She caused this misun-derstanding between them!
Helena noticed Kira standing alone outside the house.
“Kira?” Helena called Kira as she approached her.
“What are you doing here outside, alone?” She asked.
“A-Auntie…”
Helena froze when she saw Kira’s crying expression.
“Why? Is there something wrong?”
“N-No, Auntie…” Kira replied, but Helena knows whether she’s lying or not.
Helena lifted her hand and to-uched Kira’s face.
“Kira, I know you… I know that you’re lying.” She said.
“Auntie…” It’s the only words that Kira was able to say.
“Tell me what’s the matter.”
“I-It’s just a misun-derstanding between me and Tim,” Kira replied.
“Oh, dear, misun-derstanding happens anytime, especially to a married couple like you and Tim. But what is more important, is that you should not lose communication with each other. Even if you see each other every day, you still nee-d to communicate with each other. Talk about this matter with him, and everything will be fixed.”
Kira nodded her head.
She went upstairs after talking to her auntie. She didn’t eat her dinner because she doesn’t have the appetite to eat.
Kira headed straight to the master’s b£droom, she thought that Tim is there. She opened the door but she hasn’t seen Tim inside the b£droom.
‘He might be in the study room!’
With that thought, Kira closed the master’s b£droom and headed to the study room. She held the doorknob and was about to turn it open, but it was locked.
Kira knocks on the door and called for Tim, “Tim, are you there?” She asked, but no one answered.
Kira waited for a few more minutes, hoping that Tim will open the door. But he didn’t.
She turned and went to the master’s b£droom with his shoulders dropped.
She la-id on the b£d and wait for Tim to get back into the b£droom, but time pas-sed and Kira has not seen Tim even just his shadow.

EPISODE 40
*Inside the study room*
Tim was sitting in his swivel chair, there are a bottle and glas-s of whiskey at the top of the table. He drinks the contents of the glas-s.
He heard a knock on the door, but he did not open it, he doesn’t want to talk to her, he is afraid to hear what she wants to say. He is afraid that Kira might ask for a divorce.
Tim pour another whiskey on the glas-s, ‘No! He won’t let Kira left himside.
He won’t give her a divorce.
Not yet.
He might be selfish, but he will do everything to make her stay with him.
Maybe his efforts on making her fall for him wasn’t enough.
Maybe he still nee-ds to work ha-rdto make her love him.
Whoever se-nt those photos of her and Alex has only one goal, it’s to ruin his marriage with Kira.
And he won’t allow it to happen.
He won’t mind even if people called him stupid, but if Kira cheated on him, he is still willing to forgive and accept her.
——
The next morning, it’s weekend, Kira has woken up, but she hasn’t seen Tim when she turned her head in the space beside her..
Kira sighs!
Tim might have misun-derstood her act yesterday.
‘No! She won’t let this happen’
‘They have to talk about this matter, and fix everything between them’
Kira decided to get up and headed to the study room. She knocked three times before she turned and opened the doorknob, the door wasn’t locked, unlike last night. She entered the study room, but she was met with silence. She knitted her brows, ‘Where did he go too early in the morning?’ she asked her self.
‘Ah! He might be having his breakfast!’ She as-sumed.
With that thought, she hurriedly went downstairs and headed to the dining area, but she only saw Becca, Jane, and Helena.
“Dear, you’re alre-ady awake. Come and eat your breakfast!” Helena said.
“I’m still full auntie,” Kira replied.
“But Kira, you have not eaten dinner last night,” Helena said worriedly.
“I’m alright auntie, I don’t feel hungry anyway,” She replied
“Anyways, have you saw Tim?” She asked instead.
“No, I haven’t seen him this morning,” Helena replied.
“Missus, I saw the Young Master left this morning.” Jane joined the conversation.
“Too early in the morning?” Kira asked.
“Yes. Missus, he left in a hurry,” Jane replied.
Kira looked down as her thoughts went de-ep.
‘Is he avoiding me?’ she thought.
No!
This won’t do!
We can’t fix this misun-derstanding if he keeps on avoiding me.
Kira turned and went back upstairs. She picked up her bag and went downstairs.
Helena saw Kira, ” Kira?” She called her.
“Auntie…” Kira stopped in her track.
“Where are you going dear?” Helena asked.
“I’m going to Tan Corporation, I will talk to Tim.” She replied.
“I have to go, auntie…” Kira said and then she hurriedly got out of the house and headed to the garage.
She placed her bag in front of her scooter before she rode, turned on the engine and drove away.
In just forty-five minutes, Kira reached the Tan Corporation’s Building.
“Excuse me, ma’am, how may I help you?” The security asked when he noticed Kira standing at the entrance.
“I—-” Kira opened her mouth to respond, but someone suddenly spoke behind the security.
“Missus!” Coby blurted out when he saw Kira standing outside the building.
This is her first time to come here!
“C-Coby!” Kira becomes hopeful when she saw Coby.
The security was stunned as he heard Coby called Kira a “Missus”.
Is she Mr. Tan’s wife?
The security secretly observed Coby.
Coby spokes to the woman the way he spoke to Mr. Tan, it is full of respect!
With that thought, the security instantly asks for an apology, “I’m sorry if I have not recognized you, Mrs. Tan!” The security apologized.
“Oh, it’s nothing” Kira replied to the security and then she faced Coby again.
“Coby, has Tim arrived yet?” Kira asked.
Coby knitted his brows, “Mr. Tan is not here, Missus.” he replied.
“Oh!” Kira’s shoulder’s dropped.
“Where could he be?” She mumbled as she looked down.
“Missus, would you like to wait for Mr. Tan in his office?” Coby asked.
“Oh, I…I think I’ll just leave and go home.” She refused.
“Alright, Missus,” Coby replied.
Kira nodded her head lightly, but her mind is in de-ep thought, ‘Tim, where are you?’ She secretly cried inside.
Kira turned to leave, she is abse-nt-minded at the moment and she did not notice the man coming into her way. She b-umped into the man as soon as she turned!
“Ooooh!” Kira blurted out as she staggered back.
——-
Earlier,
Mr. Fuente gets down of his car and headed to the Tan Corporation’s entrance, he looked at his watch and didn’t notice the woman on his way.
“Oh!” Mr. Fuente was startled when someone b-umped into him. He looked up to the woman but he was stunned.
“Missus!” Coby hurriedly hold Kira to prevent her from falling on the ground.
Thanks to Coby’s reflexes, Kira did not fell on the ground and she gets back to her balance instantly. Kira looked up to the person in front of her to apologize.
“I’m sorry—” Kira’s next words were stuck in her mouth when she saw the old man in front of her. She stared at the old man with her mouth slightly opened.
This man is giving her a vibe of familiarity.
Mr. Fuente’s face turned pale and he can’t look at Kira straight to the eyes.
“Missus, Are you alright?!” Coby asked Kira.
“I-I’m sorry… I didn’t see you…” Mr. Fuente said and then he hurriedly walks away.
Kira was left stunned outside. Her heart is beating so fast! She doesn’t know why, but she feels odd with that man!
_____
Mr. Fuente slumped the door of his office. He did not expect to see that woman. He doesn’t like the feeling that the woman brou-ght to him after seeing her.
Mr. Fuente becomes restless, he started pacing back and forth as he ru-bb£d his hands.
“No! ” he keeps mumbling.
“She didn’t recognize me” He said to himself.
He held his head, he felt like he’s going insane.
“I know she didn’t recognize me” He mumbled again as his eyes darted left and right.
“Of course, No one knows about it!” he added as if he’s convincing his self.
Mr. Fuente’s entire b©dy was shaking!
‘Those eyes!’ Mr, Fuente’s mind cried.
He couldn’t forget those eyes. Those eyes are giving him nightmares for a long time.
Mr, Fuente was acting differently.
Just then, his a-ssistant came inside his office.
“Mr. Fuente—” His a-ssistant was not able to finish his word as he saw Mr. Fuente’s state!
“Sir!” Jan hurriedly approached him.
With that thought, Jan quickly took Mr. Fuente’s medicine and gave it to him.
“Sir, take your medicine” He said as he stretches his hand to Mr. Fuente.
This is not the first time that he saw him in this state, so, he alre-ady knows of what to do whenever he had an anxiety attack..
Mr. Fuente hurriedly took his medicine with his trembling hands. He opened the bottle and took his medicine.
Jan helped him to take a seat.
A few minutes later, Mr. Fuente started to calm down, but his b©dy felt weak. He took a de-ep breath before he slowly leans into his swivel chair.
He fell in de-ep thought again, now, he has the biggest reason to get rid of that woman as soon as possible.
“Missus, are you hurt?” Coby asked worriedly.
Kira snapped back to her se-nses, she looked up to Coby and spoke in a faint voice, “N-No…”
“It a relief then, ” Coby replied.
Kira slowly turned her head to Coby, “I have to go now,” Kira said.
“Let me drive you home, Missus.” Coby offered.
“No nee-d, I brou-ght my scooter, I can drive on my own.” Kira refused and then she headed to the car park.
‘Where are you, Tim?’ she asked herself.
——
*Alex’s house*
“What brou-ght you here early in the morning, Mr. Tan?” Alex asked the man sitting opposite to him.
“I am here to tell you that, I won’t give up on my wife!” Tim said straight forward.
Alex’s automatically knitted his brows, “What are you saying, Mr. Tan?” he asked in confusion.
Tim puts down the envelope in front of Alex.
Alex looked at the envelope, “What is this?” He asked.
“Someb©dy se-nt those photos to me,” Tim replied.
“Photos?” Alex’s knitted brows got even de-eper.
Tim secretly observes Alex’s expression. He suspected that Alex was the one who se-nt those photos to him, to ruin him and Kira, but now he is having a doubt if his suspicion was right, because Alex seems like he doesn’t know anything about the photo.
Alex takes a look at the photos one by one.
At first, he was stunned but later on, he realized something.
The photo of two people inside the car wearing the teacher’s uniform.
‘Now it made se-nse to him why the man who attem-pted to mo-lest Kira was wearing the same uniform as his.
His main reason was not to mo-lest Kira,
‘The culprit just wants it to look like he and Kira are having a secret affair and se-nt these photos to Tim’
‘The culprit wants to think that Kira is cheating on him’
‘They have a goal, it is to ruin Kira and Tim.
He was right.
Alex puts down the photo at the top of the table, he looked at Tim straight to his eyes, “I have a question to you, Mr. Tan.”
Tim narrowed his eyes as he straightened his b©dy.
“Do you love Kira?” Alex asked.
“Of course” Tim replied without a doubt.
“Giving your love to someone also means you give your trust to her,” Alex paused for a moment and throws Tim a meaningful look, ” Don’t you trust your wife?” Alex continued.
Tim was not able to answer.
“Stop fussing! Tell me what you want to say”
Alex took a de-ep breath.
“Mr. Tan, do you think Kira could do such a thing to you?”
“Do you think she will cheat on you?”
“Do you even have an idea what happened that day?” Alex asked one after the other.
“What do you mean?” Tim asked in a puzzled look.
“Someone is targetting your wife” Alex replied.
“W-What?!” Tim blurted out.
“I wasn’t the one on that photo.” Alex pointed out the photo on the table.
“That afternoon, I was getting re-ady to head home, but an anonymous number se-nt me a message.”
Alex took his phone, he swiped it a few times and show the text message to Tim.
Tim re-ads the message.
“What does it mean?” He asked.
“He means Kira. The culprit behind this knows about my feelings towards Kira. He used me to achieve his plan. I went to the place, there, I found Kira inside the car, calling for help while trying to defend her self from this man,” Alex pointed out the man on the photo, ” he is trying to mo-lest her”
“W-What?”
Alex’s words are like a bomb that explodes in front of Tim.
‘Kira was mo-lested?’
‘Someone is targeting her?’
‘How could he not know any of these?!’
“S-She did not tell me about this…” Tim mumbled.
“Because she doesn’t want to add to your burdens,” Alex said.
Tim looked up at Alex.
“She is worried about you, Mr. Tan.”
