Miracle roamed her eyes around the room and it was a complete disaster. Bottles everywhere, garbage around the kitchen counter and anything.

He bit his lower lip as he struggled to find his wife.

"Maybe he's still sleeping," she whispered to herself.

Her eyes met a door that she thought was the man's bedroom.

He slowly lowered the bag on the sofa before heading in that direction. He stopped opposite the door and silently turned the door knob.

Her eyes automatically landed at Trigger who's peacefully sleeping on the bed.

She couldn't help but shed tears when she saw this. She missed him so much. He feels that he is not complete in recent days because he cannot see it.

And now that he was close to it again, he felt like he was complete again, with nothing missing from him.

She walked towards her husband as she sat down on the bed. She raised her hand slightly to caress the man's face.

"I'm sorry," she said tearfully. "I'm sorry for hurting you, baby. Forgive me for everything I've done wrong to you."

Miracle leaned forward to kiss his forehead. "I'll get back at you, Trigger. I'll do everything for you to forgive me and to forgive yourself for the things you thought you caused. Even if you're mad at me, it's okay. I just want to get back at you."

She kissed him for the last time before leaving the bedroom. He immediately turned his attention to the chaotic surroundings and began to sort them out.

She was nervous about what Trigger's reaction would be when he saw her. He didn't know if it would make him angry or happy.

And whatever happens, she's still sure about introducing Alistair to him. He will not make their son jealous of his wife. No longer.

TRIGGER woke up when he felt the unexplainable pain on his head. He bit his lower lip in annoyance from the hang-over.

He shouldn't have taken that much alcohol. It always strikes back when he's already in a good state.

Annoyed, he picked up the cellphone on the table to look at the clock. He almost insulted himself when he saw that it was almost night.

"Fuck, Trigger. You have a business meeting, ass hole," he whispered angrily.

It's too late for him to prepare and catch up, he's already two hours late.

He cleared his throat as he heard a noise from the outside. He immediately frowned because he had not invited any guests.

Was it Dagger?

He washed his face to lessen his hang-over first before wearing a black shirt and jog pants. After fixing himself, he stepped outside the bedroom only to get confused by his surroundings.

He is not a fool to forget how chaotic the living room was last night.

"Who the fuck cleaned my room without my permission?"

When he heard a noise again in the kitchen he hurriedly walked closer to it. He saw different kinds of dishes on the kitchen counter.

He was about to make a phone call to ask Dagger about what happened but a voice from behind him caught his attention.

"Are you hungry? I'm sure you still have a hang-over."

Trigger was too stunned to look at that person. He knows that voice very well.

He closed his eyes tightly to make sure he wasn't drunk. Unsatisfied, he turned around to see if his suspicion was true.

And his heart went wild when he finally saw who's the owner of that voice.

His wife ... His Miracle.

"I'm sorry for entering your room without permission. They gave me a key so I just went inside," he said and slightly raised the key he was holding.

His eyes darkened upon seeing her this close.

He walked quickly closer to his wife before hugging her tightly. The coldness of his eyes vanished. It was replaced by tears that he had previously held back.

"Baby, I miss you. I miss you so much. I thought I'll never see you again," she said crying and showered him with a kiss on the forehead.

Miracle stood frozen with her husband's sudden reaction. He thought it would scold him and drive him away in anger. But he did otherwise.

"Trigger," she tearfully whispered its name.

"Hmm? I'm all ears baby. Do you want to say something?" this gentle question before covering both his cheeks.

Crying, she smiled at it. "I miss you so much."

She saw how his eyes shine after hearing those words. The man carefully pressed his lips to hers and kissed her tenderly.

"Me too, my wife. You don't know how much I fucking miss you. I almost got insane after you left me. I thought you wouldn't come back to me, it's like I'm going to die thinking about what your situation is. If you're okay I was fucking worried about you and that made me lose my sanity more. I can't stop thinking about you for these past few days, "he admitted while still hugging her tightly .

Miracle sobbed. "I love you. And I'm sorry for the things I said to you that night. There's no truth to all of that, Trigger. I was genuinely happy with you and I really love you. "

"I love you too, baby. And stop saying sorry, please? You were hurt too. I understand everything. I will always understand you and I won't get tired of doing that. You don't have to say sorry to me, you didn't do anything wrong. " Miracle cried even more when her husband said that.

He still doesn't know that she already knew about what happened. Even though he hurt the man he was still thinking of it.

"Trigger, you don't have to make me feel better. I already know everything. Shanelle told me about everything that I need to know. Including my disorder and what really happened between us," he said directly.

He even saw the passing of panic in his wife's eyes.

"Is that the reason why you came back?"

She nodded. "And I also want to introduce someone to you."
