The long shadows of the evening dissolved into the gathering of the nightime. The air cooled and the crickets started to sang.

She was standing in the balcony staring at the gate, letting the cool air breeze touched her soft and delicate skin.. .

She dissapointedly sighed, and turn around. She walked towards the opened door going inside. .

She sat down at the chair facing the long table with the cake and dishes served. .

"Today is his birthday.It will be the first time were not celebrating it together " that thought make her eyes watery.

A tear drop from her round bluish eyes.

It's been a month since she married Zeke Roa.

Her childhood friend and her best friend.

Ever since they got married he never treated her as his wife. For the whole month of their marriage he only came home twice.

She wipe her tears that fall down to her cheeks.

"Huh? What are you expecting Tamara?. You know how much he hates you now" bitterly talking to her self.

She stand from the chair and go upstairs to her room and burried her face to the pillow and trying not to cry. She fall asleep.

It's already midnight, When she hear a sound of a car parking outside the house.

She ignore it.

After a minute, there came the sound of the door opening. Tamara who had just been drowsy, raise her head and look at the man with a tall and slim figure walking towards the bed where she's lying.

After realizing who the man was. "Zeke..." She woke up immediately. And put on a relaxed smile "You came home"

He continue to walk and he stop when he reach the bed. He look at her with a disgust.

She suddenly feel a chill running to her nerves. She looked down. Her hands was sweating cold.

Zeke remained standing infront of her. His cold gaze is focused to her.

She gathered up her courage to talk to him And raised her head up and look up to him. She was about to speak when his sudden move surprise her.

He grab the back of her head and bowed down to kiss her. His cold lips met her warm, and soft lips.

The kiss was rough enough that she feel like her lips was been torn apart.

She froze and didn't make any move. She just let him kissed her roughly.

He push her down the bed. He let go of her lips and stare at her with a cold and expresionless eyes. .

Her whole body was stiff just like a solid rock and she was too scared to even breathe.

Being coldly stared by him and feeling his hot breathe, Tamara became breathless and she can feel her cheeks burning up with heat.

Tamara clenched her sweating fist and tried to push him. He stop her by holding her two hands with his one hand..

His other hand gripped her chin and pressed it. "ack" she feel like her jaw will going to break.

"Don't you dare fight me woman. Since you've taken my freedom then you need to pay for it" After saying those harsh words he kissed her rough and fiercely.

She could almost hear him saying "I'll make you suffer"

The kiss was more like a bite than a kiss.

She can taste a bit of a blood. .

She tried to push him and fight back but the more she pushes him, The more that he pressed her down and kissed her roughly. His strong. .

She loss all her strength and just let him do what he wants. .

Zeke stopped kissing her. And focused his gaze to her. He felt a tear flowing from her cheeks and that angered him more. .

"What? You're crying now. This is what you wanted right?" yell at her. He was fuming with anger. .

"No.... This is not what i wanted" she thought. If she could've known that they will end up like this, then she wouldn't never climbed up to his bed at the first place.

This man in front of her is no longer the man she knew. The caring, and loving Zeke she had known for 10 years is not this man in front of her.

Zeke roughly caress her left soft cheeks. His thumb wiped the tears flowing from her eyes while leaning on her "Serve me woman with all you've got and satisfy me, For all i know this is what you've wanted" Zeke whispered to her coldly.

He licked her earlobe sending a thousand of volts like to her body.

His hot breathes sending sweet chills all over her body.

She was hurting but still her body is reacting to his every little touch.

"Urghhh" Zeke groaned in a frustrated way. He see the pain in her face. He wanted to enter her without loosening her first but he can't bear what his seeing.

His other hand reached out to her face and carress it gently while leaning down and slightly kissing her.

Slickkk.

The sounds of thier kissing filled up the room.

"Hmmmmm" Tamara moaned

Tweet-tweet-tweet..

"Uurrgghhh" Tamara moaned and slowly opened her eyes.

It's already morning. She looked beside her. His no longer there. She touched the side where he sleeped. Her heart throb in pain.

Just like before leaving without saying anything after doing it with her.

She got up from the bed and stand. The floor is messy with her torn nighties and undergarnments.

Standing in front of the mirror. She could see how miserable she is.

The bruises on her body makes her more pitiful.

She smile bitterly "What can i do, I did this to myself." she thought while trying to stop herself from crying.

******

"Didn't i tell you to stop pestering Tamara." Zeke shout at the the son of the dean who were asking Tamara to be his partner on their school speciall ball.

"And who are you to stop me. It's .not like you're Tamara's boyfriend?. ." Jackson smirk and glared back at Zeke with a high toned voice.

Zeke were boiling with anger. He don't know the reason but. What Jackson just said, makes him fuming with anger.

He grabed Jackson's tie and were about to punch him when Tamara hug him from his back to stop him.

"Zeke please, stop." Tamara shouts.

Zeke looked back at Tamara, Her about to cry face is his weakness. He let go of Jackson.

"Tssskkk, I'll remember this you son of a b*tch" Jackson angrily told him and he turned his back at them.

"Why do you have to do that? I told you not get to a fight." Tamara scolding Zeke.

"They were pestering you"

Tamara sighed, "No, they're not. Jackson is asking me nicely" she explained.

"Hmmmmp, I don't care"

She slightly smiled because of his tone. And because of that he fall for him more.

****

She finish fixing up herself. She walked out of her room and walked straight down to the kitchen.

The food she prepared last night for his birthday was still there. It wasn't even touched a bit.

A bitter smile trace from her thin lips.

Seeing the untooched food she prepared for hours for him to enjoy, hurts her more.

It's been three day's since his birthday.

He was sitting in his chair and massaging his forehead.

There's a lot of piled up work for him that it's giving him headache.

While massaging his forehead someone knocked at the door. He open his eyes and stand "Come in" he said.

His assistant entered.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Miss Yun called and she said that she'll come visit you today, this afternoon." said the assistant politely.

"Ohh! So she's back" he smiled.

"Yes sir. She just got back this morning"

"Okay, Then don't bring my lunch here"

"Yes, sir"

"Is that all" he asked.

"Uhm, Here's some document's you need sign sir"

His face turned dark when he see the piled up new documents his assistant were holding. "I just finished signing up the last paper works" he thought.

"Leave them there" points at his table.

The assistant leave the documents in his table and immediately leaves his office.

He sat down and continue massaging his forehead.

After a while.

The door oppened and a gorgeous woman carrying a box of cake and take out food entered.

A slight warm smile traced from his lips when he see the woman who just entered. It was Jeza Yun.

The woman sweetly smiled back and walked straight to him.

She drop the food she's carrying at his table and jump up to his laps.

"I miss you" the woman said and about to kiss him but he avoided it.

Jeza pouted his mouth.

"Don't you miss me?"

He laughed and caress her face gently.

"I miss you too" He said while caressing Jeza's face.

"Then why did you avoid my kiss?" Jeza asked pouting.

"Later okay" He laugh.

"But--"

"Im hungry, What did you bring?" he said to stop Jeza from talking more.

"ohh. A cake and your favorite foods"

"A cake?" he wondered

"Yes, a cake?"

"Why did you bring a cake?" he asked

"Did you forget it's your birthday three days ago"

"Ohhh, Yeah, i forgot" he lowered down his head and became silent.

He then suddenly remember why is there's a cake in the table and so much food prepared when he came home three days ago. And all the dish that was served was his favorite. Because of thinking too much and there's a piled up work he forgot the day he was born.

He didn't eat any of those prepared dish when he woke up that morning and see it. Because he wanted to hurt Tamara

He knows that Tamara put a lot of effort to prepare those dish. She was always been like that.

But somehow he felt regreted for not even tasting those dish she prepared.

He sighed.

"Why? What's wrong?" Jeza asked him

He just nods "nothing"

Jeza's looking at him wondering what did he remember. But she don't have the guts to asked him, so she just let it go . She stand from his laps.

"Ill prepare the food let's eat. Im quite hungry too" she said smilling at him trying to change his mood.

He just nods. .

"Here i bought some candles too. I know it's three day's late but it's not too late to celebrate your birthday right?" Jeza said to him while smilling gracefully.

He smiled back "No"

"Okay then, Happy birthday to you" Jeza started to sing happy birthday. .

He was about to blow the candle when the door opened and Tamara enter.
