It'll Come Naturally

"Okay. I got it. Don't get drunk again," Tiana warned. She frowned when she knew that Rain's wife would worry greatly about him if he failed to come back home on time. He got drunk two times last week!

"Trust me. I know what I'm doing. If I ever get drunk again, my wife would lock the door and throw away the key!" Rain said, laughing awkwardly. This was partly true. He didn't want to rely solely on the huge power and reach of the FX International Group. He was working really hard these days. He had made strides, but he still needed to be alert. "Be cafeful, bro! I'm going home now. See you later, 'kay?" said Tiana with her sweet smile as she waved farewell. Then she opened the car door and smoothly climbed inside.

"Okay. Drive safely!" Rain closed the car door for her and stood there until her car pulled away far enough that he couldn't see it anymore. He then turned around and entered the company's main building.

That night, Rain got home drunk again. William, his ever-faithful secretary, sent him home. When Annie saw her husband in a drunken stupor, she couldn't help but worry.

"Rain, why did you get drunk again?" Annie asked, her brows furrowed, hands on her waists. She knew she couldn't trust Rain to hold his liquor. He got drunk anyway.

He looked at his wife, smiling mischievously. "Oh, hey honey! Why are you still awake?" asked Rain slowly. Rain was still amazingly conscious, even when he drank tons of wine at the dinner. When he saw Annie, he got up and dragged himself to kiss her. "Here I am waiting for you to come home. You don't need to work so hard. You've done enough!" pleaded Annie. She felt sorry for her husband. Rain had refused all outside help and was determined to start from scratch. He was so sure that he would succeed in building his own new world.

"I'm fine, okay? You know I'm doing all of this for you and our children. I love you, honey," Rain replied, drunkenly. His eyes were squinted, and he had a goofy grin on his face. Rain was a husband, a father, as well as a brother right now. He had to take care of his wife, his sister and his children all at the same time. He knew he had to keep them safe from all and any dangers.

"I said you were dumb. Don't you believe me?" asked Annie. He then took his arm and helped him walk upstairs. Annie took him to the bedroom and they both sat on the silk covers. She was touched by what Rain said. He was full of determination and confidence. However, she didn't want this constant worrying. She wanted to live a simple and comfortable life with her husband and children. But nowadays, she could only talk to her husband at night, when he came home late. This life was driving her mad.

"But you still love me, don't you?" asked Rain. He held her shoulders and pushed her down the bed, then kissed her roughly with intense passion.

"I guess I also got dumb." Annie started taking off his coat and shoes. Everytime he got home drunk like this, he would say silly words that would often make her blush.

"That's more like it. A dumb husband and a dumb wife, a match made in heaven," Rain said while half-chuckling. Rain smiled lovingly at his wife. Now, he could feel her love for him.

"Now, rest. Lie down while I prepare a bath for you." Annie took one last look at her husband and then got up to run the bath. She tried to comfort herself that when Rain's company was all set, everything would be much better. She had so much faith in Rain and in their love for each other.

While Annie was feeling the water temperature to make sure it was perfect, Rain's hands found their way around Annie's waist. He rested his head on her shoulder and breathed in her perfume, the one she always used ever since they met.

"Annie, I'm really sorry. I promise the hard days will be over real soon." In truth, he wasn't that drunk at all. While talking to Annie all this time, he could sense that she was worried and unhappy. He was still conscious enough to take in the situation at hand. "Why'd you follow me into the bathroom?" Promises were just words. They were cheap. For Annie, as long as her husband was happy, that was more than enough for her.

"Why? I want to see you every minute of everyday," replied Rain in a soft voice. Typical men. When they get drunk, all the flowery words come busting out.

"Are you sure you can still stand up after drinking that much wine?" Married life was enough for Annie. After their marriage, she only grew to enjoy his company more. In light of this, she was just like Leena. They were both satisfied easily.

"You know and love me, don't you?" Rain put his hands on Annie's shoulder and turned her around to face him. He eyed her carefully and then slowly inched his lips onto hers and kissed her passionately.

Annie responded by kissing him back. After the marriage, she had never hidden her true feelings for him. Tonight, she was also drunk with Rain's love.

Days went by. After the Spring-Festival holiday, CY technology finally made some progress. Enough to give Rain a breather and he finally could spend some time with his family.

Sheena's house was sold for half its original price, just as Rain predicted. The Ke Family faded into obscurity.

"Rain, is this what you wanted to see?" Sanford looked like he aged decades. When he came back home, he found that his ancestral home wasn't his anymore.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Rain said innocently. He sat on his chair with his legs crossed. He took a sip of coffee and laughed without any emotion.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"My family has been ruined completely, you brat. Ever since you entered our lives, it was doomed from that moment." Sanford looked tired. He was resigned to the fact that he had no house to live in even after spending his entire life toiling and struggling.

"Don't you dare blame me for that. You know the reasons more clearly than the rest of them. You blamed me because you're too much of a coward to accept the truth. That's why you just decided it was much easier to blame me for your faults and miserable fate." Rain laughed at his father. He knew Sanford would never choose to help him. He was used to this kind of betrayal.000000000000000
