Chapter 3

LAYLA’S POV

I felt sore and tired from the activities of last night, I didn’t want anything to interrupt my sleep because it felt so nice and relaxing but if course the universe was against me. I heard my phone ringing loudly in my ear, I was surprised at how loud it was because it felt like someone had buried it deep within the walls of my brain.

I stood up from my bed reluctantly to pick up the phone . I placed it on my ears after confirming the caller was Amanda.

“Whyyyy”I yelled demanding answers for her rude interruption.

“Trust me it’s serious. ”she urged, “Well I was on a walk this morning and I passed by a café, guess who I saw at that café with a woman” she asked

“I don’t know ? How I’m I…” wait a minute ! She called me to talk about someone being with a woman at a café, it can’t be a nobody it must have been …. Nate.

“Was it …was it Nate” I didn’t want to accept it because it hurt like hell. This was a very bad thing to wake up to.

“I’m still there and I want to go and confront that jerk and his slut”she vexed out

“Amanda ! Don’t do that please. I don’t want you to get into this shitty mess. Just leave them to me.” I ended the call without waiting for her to respond.

I felt dizzy.

I get it that he doesn’t love me but at least I still thought he would leave some dignity for me to start dating other people after we officially end our marriage.

I couldn’t let them affect me though. If they wanted to get back together, if that’s what Nate wanted, I needed to accept it.

I stood up and got ready to go and meet my professor also I knew that I was going to pass the café that Amanda had seen Nate at… yes I want to spy on him.

I entered my car and drove off,parking in the lot of the café. It was a glass shop so I could see everything inside but I didn’t see him or any strange woman and since I was running late I decided to move.

I felt my heart hurt as I drove to school, I always tried to deceive myself that stuffs like this won’t be happening. I’ll tell myself that Nate can’t do that and he is not that type of person but right now I’m deeply hurt. I parked my car and came down from the car hurrying to Professor Germanus office.

I rushed into his office and I was lucky to meet him.

“Miss Andrew” he beamed. No one knew I was married to Nate so they all thought I was still Andrew and I wasn’t ready to correct them at all. And it seemed there was no need to do so now.

“Oh sir, I’m so sorry for keeping you waiting. There was a traffic jam and I had to get something on the way,it was…. You know what? Nothing can justify for this mistake and I’ll really just like to apologize sir” I begged.

“Well it’s fine miss Andrews, you are here now” he paused “I finally got my hand on some of the hardest research we had been looking for,but most importantly we are using Dr. Michael Williams own. It’s guaranteed and specific”he explained.

Mr Germanus and I have been trying to make researches on serious medical issues that could help my portfolio. Him bringing up Dr. Michael Williams was one of the biggest surgeons and his researches have been proven right. I’ve idolized him for a while wishing one day I’ll learn stuffs and be just like him,I knew it wasn’t going to be easy but I was very ready to do everything.I also hope that one day, I will work with him. Funny enough he is of same age with Nate but they have their specialty,

“Thank you so much professor Germanus”I thanked.

“I’m always ready to help student that want to help themselves. You are a very bright student Ms. Andrew and I want you to keep shinning”he smile before exiting his office.

I left his office immediately feeling proud of my self I mean I just got a compliment from Professor Germanus. That man Is one of the strictest Professors on this campus and yet he gave me a compliment. For a minute there I thought all my problems had been forgotten but receiving a call from Amanda reminded me that I had a husband who didn’t love me and a husband who also cheats.

After clearing my throat and trying to be normal I picked the call. “Hey babes” I greeted

“Are you okay?” I knew what Amanda was doing,she wanted to sniff out the issue because she knew I was pretending but I’m not going to let her know .

“Nothing is wrong, nothing can be wrong. I plan on actually using real researches from Dr. Michael Williams!!!! Do you know what that means for me?” I shouted with total happiness, it felt like realization had just kicked in.

“Yes! I know how big that is for you, ever since that man win best surgeon in the states, you have been pretty obsessed “she laughed

“Pretty obsessed ? More like pretty impressed. Do you know how hard it is to be in that position.oh gosh if I ever got to feel that …. I’ll be the happiest” I laughed and soon I was welcomed with silence from Amanda’s phone and I instantly knew what the problem was.

“So what are you going to do?” She asked the question that has resorted in my head over 100 times. I don’t. Know what I want to do, I don’t think I’m ready to let him go and at the same time I think I want him to be free because he is innocent in all this, he deserves true love and not me but I needed to make a decision.

“I’m trying to do my project because I don’t want to be distracted at home so I decided to do here in school” I informed knowing clearly well that it wasn’t what she wanted to hear.

“What the hell … project? Who the hell cares about your project, I’m talking about your issue with Nate? Your husband…” I knew exactly what she was talking about but I thought I could avert this conversation. I was thinking of too many things at the same time and it wasn’t good for my health.

“I think I’m filing for a divorce” I finally said leaving Amanda in shock.

“What?”
