My face twisted and my brows knitted in confusion. It comes out as a shock when my ears perked up at the sound of footsteps approaching my direction.Who could it be?Did someone break-in?A wave of fear washed through me and I visibly froze at my spot. The door slightly creaks open, snaps me from my gut-wrenching thoughts and my head jerks toward the main door. I saw the familiar figure come into my line of vision and relief washes over me.Oh my god, it's just Xavier. He scared me...Clenching my fist, I attempted to relax my tensed muscles. Xavier sauntered in and without sparing me a glance he walked upstairs.Did I do anything? Why is he openly, giving me a cold shoulder?By the way, why is he here? Xavier visits every Monday and Thursday and I am sure it's Wednesday today. He was supposed to come tomorrow.Did he fight with May?or dad?He didn't even greet me. I couldn't fathom the reason behind the strange behavior. On the other hand, I can't deny that his presence had me ex
I was all sweaty and sticky from our morning activity. Suddenly his weight was no longer on me. Getting off the bed Xavier paddle straight to the bathroom and locked the door behind him. Soon the sound of water was on.Taking a long breath, I hunch myself into a sitting position and cover my naked state with the silk duvet.My gaze falls back to the familiar band in my ring finger. My wedding band. To say I was surprised would be an understatement when Xavier handed me the ring the day before yesterday. Honestly speaking I was more surprised that he still had it than the fact he gave it back to me.Yes, our relationship has to go through a lot of throws but now I could see a flower blossom. Even though being with Xavier has given me more pain than happiness, I want to forget everything and move on.Over time my perception of Xavier completely changed. Xavier as promised has been doing everything to mend our relationship. Our situation gradually improved. I thought he never liked me b
May frowned slightly. "First you married that ugly bitch then you cheated me with that Ruth. Fortunately, she was faking her pregnancy but still, you cheated on me, Xavier"Wait what does she mean first he married me?Were they in relation before I married Xavier?Is this another reason why he couldn't accept me? Because he was already in love with MayAnd Ruth faked her pregnancy? But why?Numerous questions flooded my confused and stressed brain and the answer I had none. The only thing I could do was wait and watch. Maybe I'll get my answer."How did you know," Xavier probes his own query ignoring May's ranting.She momentarily looked hesitant but answered nonetheless. "I followed you,""You followed me?" Xavier snorted with an accusing gaze almost as if couldn't believe what he was hearing.She guilty met his accusing gaze coldly. "What was I supposed to do Xavier? You were acting shading, smelling all girly,""You knew what you were getting into, May. I never hid and lied anythin
Even now Xavier's word was still printed clear on my head as if it was spilled a mere seconds ago when in reality it's been hours.Xavier always put it as if I was the wrong one and I was also convinced I was the problem or else why would our relationship not work. He always did what he wanted with me, with no tiny regard for the sentimental value of my emotions or what I wanted. I tolerated everything, thinking it's a leap of faith but not anymore.Unbeknownst to me, I was trapped in the depth of lies, and deception. I fail to understand his reality. But what could I have done? How do I assess the extent of infidelity actually committed by a man I trusted as a husband?But now that the facade he has a layer to conceal his reality is finally peeled. I can clearly see what he is. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.The depth of Xavier's betrayal made me wish he could kill me again a thousand times over! I don't care what reasoning there is, it is absolutely despicable.
Entering inside the room, whoever it was flipped the light switch and the room was flooded with light.My gaze immediately on a broad figure who was leaning against the frame of the door with his hands deep into his pants pocket.I can't help but analyze his features. I ogle him under hooded lids, taking in every single detail down, drinking his inhumanly good-looking features. A straight nose laid upon, a well-defined jawline. His skin is flawless, almost unreal.His hair was flawlessly gelled at the side into perfection, not even a single strand out of place.My eyes skimmed over his tall broad frame. He was broad-built and muscular and was well laid out with a well-fitting suit even at this time. He had no tie, and the top buttons of his shirt were left open, revealing his sleek tattooed chest. Anyone could tell his whole body was covered with ink and it won't be wrong to address him as a fine piece of art. Any girl would swoon over him.Time froze as my blue pair of orbs got stuck
I followed out of the room and over to the wide staircase that led up to the bottom floor. The house wasn't anything close to a mansion but from paintings, decorations, furniture to every single thing about the place screamed money. I could tell it must have cost a fortune. How exactly rich is the man exactly?I knew he was rich. Everything about him seemed expensive... from his clothes, shoes, watch to his perfume, everything screamed money. I can tell this man doesn't even look at the price tag before buying it. Obviously, his house would be his standard average-looking house. I know there is nothing wrong with simplicity instead I myself believe in simplicity.But staying with 'him' I know how rich people's mentality is if not all but most of the people have the same mentality. Maybe I am being a little judgmental here but I can't help it.Turning left she led me to the end of the corridor before pausing in front of a double door. Andrea pushed the door open and we stepped inside.
Another fresh tear trickled down my cheek and I wiped it out for the hundredth time. I couldn't stop crying. The man I considered my savior; my knight in shining armor not only caused me physical pain but also never forgettable emotional pain and never-ending nightmare.I had heard reports of women being physically abused but had not dreamed of it, although I would one day become a victim.Xavier was a horrible husband. He never cared about how I felt and made zero effort to know me but I loved him with all my heart. Even after all the things he had done I still love him. As sad and crazy it sounds but it's true.But now I am tainted by a sinner. I'm touched by another man who is not my husband. I feel cheap, dirty, damaged, and worthless. I feel like I have betrayed my husband even though I very well know it's the case. His every touch was still fresh in my head as if mocking me."Can you stop crying already.." She spat, snapping me back from my self-loathing thoughts."I-I'm sorry-y
I didn't even realize when my legs carried me to him and when my palm came in contact with his left cheek.I couldn't believe I had slapped him if it wasn't for the surprised gasp from the two-man seated on the sofa and the sound of the strike resonating in the room and not to forget the red mark on his left cheek. It was faint but it was there.Do I regret it? No one even a bit. He deserved it.Even though he looked calm and collective. No trace of emotion let alone anger on his features but his eyes were speaking different volumes of truth. His hazel orbs turned three-shade darker. He was livid.The intensity in those pools had me instantly regret my decision. The man gave off death in waves, but I refused to back down and kept my stare at him. I know I was trying out my luck by pushing my boundaries but I cannot show any form of weaknesses.For a moment, nobody said anything - me afraid to trust my voice, the devil may be trying to control his anger and the two men because of my un
