Chapter 2:

She wants to leave the room and walk away, but for a moment she felt all her strength being pulled away. She couldn't even move her legs and leave the room. Her feet were stapled to the ground and she could barely move.

Holding back her tears and anger to break out.

Nichole burst out laughing because she found his words to be amusing and as naïve as a newborn baby. "This is my house, can't I come here now?" She couldn't control the sarcastic tone of her voice.

"No, honey, you know that's not what I'm talking about." He murmured and change to a softer tone.

"Really? I thought I was disturbing you both, would you mind telling me?"

Without thinking, Jack spontaneously pushed and quickly removes Lori's hand, he stood up in a rush "Nichole, baby. Please listen to me, I can explain."

Nichole laughed hysterically. "Explanation? What explanation Jack!?" She howled in anger. "I don't need an explanation, because to see you with her, making out lustfully with my own two eyes. Is it perfectly clear that you are cheating on me!"

He was panic-stricken, nervously shifting his eyes away from her.

"Sis...Sister, I didn't know you'll come back early. You even found us sharing a bed.." Lorie greeted with a sheepish grin.

"Shut up!" Jack warning her to stop from spilling anything else. And catch Nichole's gaze. "No, it is not like that. Nichole. Let me explain."

She felt like she had been struck by lightning for the thought that her boyfriend was cheating with her sister had never occurred to her mind. Although Jack was a playboy at that time, and he spends money on lust at his leisure, Nichole had hope that this is all but just a dream, a picture flashed through her mind where she saw Jack for the first time and fell in love. Jack promised he would change for a better person and will never ever make Nichole cry, he did a lot of things for Nichole to make her fall in love with him and he succeeded and they spent 5 years as a couple. But of all the people, why his sister? The person she trusts most.

She had been so foolish to believe him.

A playboy likes him.

Lori stammered in fake fear. "S-sister ---"

"Don't call me your sister!" Tears rolled down her cheeks as she clenched her jaw in humiliation and anger. "I don't have a sister like you!"

"Please, Nichole. Listen to me, it's not what you think, okay?" Jack tries to hold her, but Nichole goggled at him and threw his handoff.

"Don't. You. Ever. Touch. Me. With your filthy hands. Jack." She instantly burst into rage. She stared at her boyfriend angrily, standing in front of her.

"In all of the people out there, Jack. Why her!? Why my sister?" Her bright, cloudless eyes were now filled with redness. "What have I done wrong that you both betrayed me!?"

They were silent for a moment, as several thoughts ran through their mind.

After the silence, Lorie decides to say something. "You didn't do anything sister, only to focus your attention on your work and forget about me. I found happiness in Jack's presence, sister. And that's what I've never felt with you. So please don't get mad at him, you're just hurting me. I beg you." Lori pleaded in a sad tone while her eyes were in a bad disguise, awkwardly revealing her complacency and arrogance. She knows her sister will do whatever she asks her to do.

"Happiness? Was it your happiness to steal a man who will never be yours? Huh, Lorie Jane?!" She asked and continued. "I didn't just focus on my job, Jane. I also focus on you! I worked hard every day, even though we both know how dangerous my work is."

"Nichole, stop," Jack said, but Nichole didn't seem to hear him.

Lori didn't expect Nichole to be so angry, she gets irritated and gets out of bed, and walks to her sister.

Lorie's devilish laughter seemed to come from the depths of hell. "Are you blaming me now? I didn't tell you to do dangerous work, sis. It is you who put yourself in that situation."

"I don't blame you, Jane. I just can't believe I was duped by you! "

"Did I tell you to believe?" No, you just want someone to trust and comfort you, but you trust the wrong person, sister. " She continued. "Don't blame me."

"Because I want you to be able to walk again and do the things you want, but not to steal my man, Jane!" She glared at her. "But I couldn't believe you could actually walk now, are you pretending with me all this time!?"

Lori soon realizes she's out of bed. "I--.." Lori can't think of a way to reason out, she was now exposed and didn't know what to say to Nichole.

Jack interrupted them. "Nichole, you're acting too much! She is still your sister, can you just forgive her." He continued. "I know you know how much I love you, Nichole. But man has his own needs. You should be grateful it's not another woman, but your sister, we're now family Nichole. " He said as if the things Nichole had seen weren't a matter.

In his head, Jack imagined he looked romantic and charming as he waited for Nichole to be moved by his words and jump into his arms.

"Clap!"

Nichole served him a mercilessly, tight slap across his face. After hearing those words, Nichole felt light headed and her heart sunk to her feet, she struggled to keep her balance.

"How dare you!" She said as her tears escaped from her face.

Jack's face stung as he tilted his head. Clearly visible under the light, her hand had left a red welt on his face. His eyes were filled with shock as he staggered backwards.

"Your reason was unreasonable, the stupidest I've ever heard in my entire life, Jack."

Lori was stunned, motionless. She recollected her senses and feigned concern by checking his face, only to be rejected at once. "Why did you do that!?" She shouted at her.

"He deserves it."

"Are you insane!?" Jack howled angrily, he was about to hurt Nichole when he stared at her beautiful cold face, he stops in the middle of the air unable to move his hands to her.

Nichole decides to speak. "Let me remind you one thing Jack, love, and lust are completely different. You cannot find true happiness without experiencing love without feeling pain, and that lust brings you only temporary happiness, nothing more nothing less."

Jack was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, from an early age, he was able to do whatever he wanted. Nobody stops him from doing what he wants because they don't want to make him angry and receive the consequences of opposing him, no one dares to hurt and slap him, and only Nichole was the first to do so without getting hurt by him. He cherishes Nichole so much that he gets to the point that he wants to lock her up to be with him. It was the first time Jack had been willing to do anything for her, he was a prisoner of her beauty. She was like a glass statue to him, a wrong move and she will shatter.

Nichole's phone suddenly rang as she looked at the two people in front of her.

She answered the call biting down on her lips softly. It was Sky calling her. "Queen, come to headquarters, master wants to meet with us." Sky said into the other phone.

Nichole remained expressionless, deep thoughts for two seconds before responding to Sky. "Okay, I am on my way." She said before hanging up the phone.

Jack stared at her as he was about to approach Nichole, Lorie grabs him by the arm to stop him.

Nichole gathered her courage to move and walk away to Jack's room when she forgot to say something, she stops and turned to them.

"Since things are already at this stage, then we should part ways now, Jack." She said without showing any emotion on her face. Even if it hurts her like crazy, it's the only way she thinks to forget him completely.

Jack clenched his hand, his heart was wavering to the words Nichole let out. "W-What do you mean, Nichole?"

"I won't repeat it again, Jack. Let's break up. "

Jack felt like his heart was being pierced by a thousand needles when he heard the words broke up from Nichole's own mouth. While Lori seemed to be hiding her excitement and glee to their broke up.

"No! You can not! " Jack raises his voice. "I won't let you leave me!"

Nichole frowned. "Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"I'm your boyfriend and soon I'll be your husband, for Pete's sake! Nichole Gale." Jack uttered that make Nichole laugh.

"Oh? Really? Do you think that after what you've done, I will still happily marry you?"

Jack's words aroused Jane's jealousy, but she pretended to be understanding and tried to coax Nichole in a soft voice. "Sister, forgive us. We didn't really want to lie to you, it just that I didn't know my love for Jack was wrong. " She said with her deceitful eyes, pretending to be apologetic.

"I won't forgive you Jane, you had been pretending all this while and lying to me." she said. "I won't forgive the two of you, remember that."

Jack stares at her pleadingly. "I can't live without you, Nichole, please don't do this." He continued. "W-We can still solve this problem, right? I beg you, please."

Nichole endured her heartache and refused to look at him. "Yes, you can live your life without me Jack, but it's not the same anymore, you should know better why we ended up like this." She said, avoiding his gaze.

"P-please, don't do this, I love you, I promised it would never happen again." She finds his word funny and wants to believe it again, but if she does. There will be nothing left for herself. It was not easy to believe when someone broke your trust again.

"You never love me Jack, because if you did, you would never cheat on me while we're in a relationship. A real man can never be stolen, and that just means you're not a real man."

"Do what you want, I am leaving and that is my final decision." She said before walking out to his room.

"Please don't do this .." Jack on his knees and tried to hold her hand as she pulled herself away. 

"Do you remember the 3 rules I told you before?" 

"Wha..What?" He asks, trying to remember. 

"You seem to have forgotten about it already, so let me recite it to you one more time ... Jack." She manages to squeeze out a sentence in response while staring at him with pain and disgust.

 "1 Broke a promise, and I'll break your bone thrice. 

 2 Lie to me twice and I'll cut your tongue. 

3 Cheat on me and I'll end your life ... 

The last was, do it all and you're out of my life.."

His body went numb as he lost the courage to face her, tears escaped from his face. He couldn't believe himself, how could he forget it easily? It is too late to repent.

Jack tries to stop her from leaving, but Lorie continues to cling to him. He has now completely lost Nichole, the fragile girl he one' love with all his care.

Nichole quickly heads to her car and slams the door, She takes a deep breath as her tears streamed down her face.

She could barely breathe and think clearly. Her heart is completely messed up and broken. Today was her birthday, she should have happily celebrated it with him but now she is hurt, betrayed, and all alone again. She cried it all, the tears she keeps holding in front of them, and now she starts hating birthdays.
