The rays of the sun were already piercing the bedroom curtain when I woke up. Should I be happy or sad? I thought as I stretched and sat up on my bed. Today is my birthday, but my husband hasn't been home in the last two weeks.
He got mad at me after we argued about the lipstick stain I found on his shirt. Since then, I haven't set my eyes on him.
Whenever I call his line, his manager will be the one to pick, saying he is busy at work with the new project. But he will be coming home today, right, I thought. Because it is not only my birthday, it is our wedding anniversary too.
At least, when he comes, we will be able to clear things up, and everything will be okay, right? The lipstick stain was probably a mistake, and he is really busy at work with the new project, right? I thought positively, not wanting to jump to conclusions about him.
Holding on to the little thread of hope that my husband would come home today because it is my birthday and our wedding anniversary, I stood up to wash up for the day.
Just as I walked past the door, a knock on it vibrated through the room. I stopped in my steps, my heart raced. He is back! I yelled in my mind. My body trembled a bit because of the excitement. I knew he would give in no matter how strong headed he acts.
I quickly brushed my hair with my hands and adjusted my cloth so that his top that I was wearing would reveal my curves very well.
After faking a small frown on my face so that he would know I was really mad at him, I proceeded to open the door.
My frown became more visible the moment I opened the door. It wasn't my husband. It was a maid instead. She quickly greeted me immediately our eyes met and bowed a little too.
Afterwards, she stretched her hands, which contained a small package, and said to me. "Someone came to drop this and said it is for you, ma." She spoke respectfully.
A package? I thought as I collected it from her. Is this his way of surprising me before he comes home? What is he planning?
"Ok, thanks." I said to the maid and closed the door.
With my curiosity at its peak, I quickly opened the package. What could be inside, I thought as I opened it. Could it be the latest Chloe designer ring? Bracelet? Whatever, I couldn't wait to see it.
Finally, I opened it, and it was none of what I had guessed in my mind. Rather, it was a document inside. I picked it up and unfolded it slowly.
Confusion and horror sparked within me the moment my eyes came in contact with the contents of the paper.
Divorce papers! I stumbled to the back without any force pushing me. My jaw dropped. My head felt dry as if a heavy load was just taken off it. My hands trembled as I held the papers and read the contents. What could be happening?
I haven't done anything bad nor upset him in any way. Rather, he is the one who has done something to annoy me. So what the hell is this! Something must be wrong somewhere, I thought as I hurried back to the bed to pick up my phone to call him. One dial, two dial, he didn't pick.
I looked up and screamed out in frustration. With anger, I threw my phone at the wall.
I need an explanation. Quickly, I picked my towel and slipped my feet inside my bathroom slippers, I picked up my car keys and hurried out of the room.
Like a mad and drunk woman, I entered my car and zoomed off to his office.
On getting there, I got down from the car, and the people there almost didn't recognize me because I was looking so messed up. My hair was uncombed, I was wearing an oversized top, my towel around my waist, and a pair of bathroom slippers.
However, I ignored them and hurried to the elevator. I pressed it button, but it seemed like it was already full. So I hurried to use the stairs. The higher I went up the stairs, the higher my mental health was at stake. I panted with confusion and anger as I used the stairs.
I finally got upstairs. As I approached his office, the group of security men guarding his office were quick to sight me and recognize me. They approached me too, to stop me from entering.
"Touch me, and you are fired!" I threatened, and they all moved back, paving way for me.
With the little strength left in me, I turned the knob of his office door and entered.
My breath seized at first. It was as if my eyes weren't working properly. What am I seeing? I asked myself as soft and loud moans filled the office I just entered.
This can't be, I thought as I tried hard to maintain composure. I opened my eyes clearly again to see what was happening clearly.
I am seeing a man, standing behind a woman, his right hand holding her waist firmly as he slams into her vigourously from behind. The woman too moaned with pleasure, calling his name, urging him to go harder.
No! No! No! I trembled.
When my brain finally processed what I was seeing, it was my husband and my step sister, making love! Both were so engrossed with their lovemaking that they didn't notice my presence.
My heartbeat accelerated, I pulled my hair as if I was running mad and screamed.
"Ryan Blackwood!!!" I yelled my husband's name like a mad woman and pulled my hair harder. Hot tears rolled down my face, i clutched my clothes at the front. My body trembled, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
