Marriage for Revenge
Rain and Lightning

Heavy rain in the morning made Maura wake up, he opened the window curtain looking dewy glass. Maura wiped the glass with her hands, it was very rainy and the wind was blowing quite hard and strong.

Maura looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes looking very puffy from crying for too long last night. Maura walked towards the bed and laid herself down again. It feels like Maura is very lazy to do activities on this day.

The sound of someone opening the door, Maura closed her eyes pretending to be asleep.

"Hey, ladies! Wake up, it's morning!" Dave's voice shouted.

Dave uncovers the blanket wrapped around Maura's body, tugging at the girl's arm. Maura brushed it off, then immediately got up and walked past Dave without saying a word, he was lazy if he had to argue so early with Dave.

"Follow me!" Dave walked ahead of Maura's step, then his hand pulled the girl into his room.

"Remove all my rooms! My room was a mess because the rest of the night was sleeping with Becca," Dave seemed to be fishing Maura.

Maura did not show any expression, she quickly picked up a broom and a mop. Maura first tidied up Dave's messy bed, Dave sitting himself in the work chair that was in the room. He watched Maura who was busy sweeping and mopping the floor. Dave then noticed Maura's puffy eyes, for some reason his heart felt guilty about what he had done last night to Maura, making Maura cry all night and scream for the door to open.

"Leave it, Dave! His suffering was not worth his betrayal to you," Dave strengthened his heart so as not to soften to Maura.

"Well now you fold all my clothes, and align all the colors!" Dave picked up the unfolded shirt and threw it at Maura. Actually Maura can not fold clothes, since from childhood he was so spoiled by his parents. Maura is not allowed to do all the housework because there are already 3 domestic assistants in her house.

Maura immediately brought the clothes and put them on Dave's bed. Maura sat down and began to learn to fold the clothes without caring about Dave's presence. Maura seemed to hum a little, she sang the song Paris In the Rain by singer Lauv. Maura's voice sounded melodious in Dave's ears, Dave felt creepy with Maura's attitude this morning, he was so uncomfortable in ignored by his own wife.

The sound of a bell ringing from outside, Maura left her job folding clothes. Maura opened the door, she saw Rebecca smiling at her wearing a mint green sweater, Becca looking very graceful and sweet. It was very different from her who had not taken a bath and only wore hand pajamas and trousers.

"Honey, I brought you breakfast!" Say hello to Becca when she sees Dave coming out of her room. As Becca steps up, Maura grabs Becca's arm.

"If you want to make out, please don't do it here! Get out of my sight!" Maura looked at Becca coldly.

"Maura!! She's my boyfriend, appreciate Rebecca!" Bela Dave with Becca's hand.

"She's your girlfriend and I'm your wife. Can't you appreciate me? At least appreciate me as a human being," Maura said in a quivering voice, that's enough! He can't cry anymore especially in front of Dave and Rebecca.

"I'm sorry, Miss!" Becca looks terrible.

"Just let him, let's sit down!" Dave pulls Becca's hand and guides her to the sofa. After that he approached Maura.

"Capucino in the kitchen is out. Please buy it to the supermarket!" Tell Dave with an unfriendly face.

"I don't want to. Out of the rain, I'm afraid of lightning!" Reject Maura.

Dave breathed his coarse breath, he was so unhappy with Maura's always defiant attitude. "I gave you a card to shop the other day, go and buy all the kitchen necessities!"

"Surely he told me to be alone with that shameless girl."

"Alright, then I borrow your car keys," Maura relented

"You take a taxi, I don't want to share a car with you!!"

Without answering or interrupting Dave's words, Maura immediately rolled up her long hair, she immediately brought along a sweater and an umbrella. He closed the door so tightly that it made Becca jump in shock.

Maura walked into the elevator to go to the 1st floor, all eyes looked at her because in this cold air Maura seemed to wear pajamas and a thin sweater. The girl did not care about that, she immediately walked over quickly to intercept the taxi.

Maura saw a building in the garden, she ran towards the building to shelter at least until the lightning subsided. He ran as fast as he could, until he did not realize there was a car traveling at medium speed. The driver of the car looked surprised to see someone crossing suddenly, he immediately stepped on the brakes very quickly.

Maura looked startled as the sound of the car brakes squeaked, her body trembling with intense fear. He immediately released his umbrella, he crouched down trying to control himself who was being hit by a panic attack.

"Miss, are you okay?" Asked a man who was crouching down and holding Maura's hand.

Maura was crying so much, the tears she had been holding back from earlier spilled out without her being able to control.

"Miss? You're okay, right?" The man looked panicked at Maura who was crying hysterically.

Maura shivered in coldness, he immediately shook his head.

"Let me take you home!"

"I don't want to go home" Maura said while shivering with cold.

"Let's get in my car, lady! You can freeze to death, just relax I'm a good person!" The man convinces Maura, he guides Maura to get into his car.

Lightning outside seemed to be snatching, Dave looked at the window, it was raining very heavily. He was so worried about Maura, moreover he knew Maura was very afraid of lightning.

"Dave, sit! Miss Maura won't be anything," Becca calmed down. He seemed to know what the man was thinking.

Becca immediately opened the breakfast he brought, it seemed Omelet with the perfect melted cheese. Dave was reminded of Maura's Omelet which he slammed.

"You eat first, I'm not hungry!!" Ketus Dave without seeing the face of the girl in front of him.

"Let's eat, you can get sick!" Persuade Becca without giving up.

"Don't force me, I don't like being forced!!"

Denfan quickly, Dave takes his coat and scarf, and Dave grabs the keys to the car on the table.

"Where are you going, Dave? Out of the rain, sit down and you'll get sick!" Becca seems to be preventing Dave from leaving.

"It's none of your business!"

When he was parked the apartment, he immediately drove his car looking for Maura. He was so worried about the girl, his mind ordered him to return to the apartment. But not with his heart, he had to find Maura. Dave just wanted to convince himself that nothing had happened to the girl who was already his wife.

While passing through the Pont Alexandre Park, he saw Maura crouching in soaked clothes. A young man led her into the car. Dave could not be sure who the man was, he did not see clearly the man's face because of the heavy rain.

Dave looked wrathfully at the sight before him, he gripped the steering wheel very firmly.

"You don't know your wife is lucky, Maura!"
