Nate’s POV
“At least be kind enough to offer me a seat.” She said interrupting my thought of telling her if I am married or not, “My bad, please do have your seat.” I said politely and concluded on not telling her about my marriage with Layla. I know Layla wouldn’t like it, so it’s best I keep it from her.
“How have your being Chloe?” I questioned her and I found it easy talking to her because she always know how to go deep in any of our conversation. One thing I like about Chloe is the fact that she is a good listener, no wonder she is a lawyer but I don’t have feelings for her at all.
“I have been good, I missed you so much and I am happy to see you again.” She said holding my hands and using her finger to flirt with it and I withdrew, “OH yes, I missed you as well, so tell me how is life generally, heard you are a lawyer now, you finally accomplished your dream.” I had to change the topic immediately because I wasn’t comfortable but I won’t blame her.
“Well it’s boring you know but I am also enjoying it, I got transferred to town so I won’t be bored anymore because I will get the opportunity to see you almost every day.” She replied with so much happiness on her face.
“Well, I guess this will break your heart, I am not free to be seen all the day, as you can see I am a surgeon and I save lives almost every day.”
“Yeah I know that and I will not come in between your work okay, I am as happy about your success as a surgeon, my baby is so famous.” She gave me the funny face and I just couldn’t hold it as I busted in to laughter.
“Chloe, you still haven’t change, you are funny as usual.” I added and I received an email on my phone, we are to meet for an urgent meeting, I guess this is my clue to discharge her and I hope she never comes back, I don’t want Layla getting the wrong picture at all.
“Yes I am the same old me and you know one thing that never changed about you? You are handsome as usual and more charming as well, I guess you will be sexy when operating on those patient and the nurses with you will be so tempted, gosh, I am jealous of them already.”
“Please do not flatter me with words, anyway I am sorry I got an emergency meeting to attend like right now.”
“Oh, I guess I need to go now, we talk some other time.” She stood on her feet.
“Bye Nate.” She left and I took some important case file as I stepped out of the office, I paused and turned around, I thought I saw my wife running, maybe I am just hallucinating. Heading to the mini hall, I got a text from Wilson, my cousin brother.” Hey Nate, free for a chat?”
“No, emergency meeting.”
“Okay let’s talk later.”

I got up the following morning and did my usual morning routing like jogging around and carrying out some workout at the gym in my home before having my bath as I planned to leave the house.
I notice my wife hasn’t step out of her room yet and it’s best I avoid her.
I entered my black Porsche Panamera, one of my favorite car and I drove out immediately. I decided to stop by the café to get coffee.
I stepped out of the car and headed into the café as I brought out the chair to sit. “Can I get a café latte here please.” I got the attention of the waitress, “Yes Doc.” I guess I am pretty popular.
“OMG!!, this must be fate, I didn’t know I will meet you here this morning.” Chloe said pulling one of the chair out to seat close to me.
I can’t believe I will come in contact with her here. ”Good morning Chloe.”
“Good morning Nate, I am so happy to see you.” Oh no, I guess its best I just take my coffee at work to avoid talking much with her.
“Yeah me too but unfortunately, I need to rush to work now.” I replied standing up.
“Well since I met you here, can you be so kind to drop me off, please.”
“Okay but that’s if you are going to my direction.” I guess there is no way to avoid her now.
A few minutes later, I dropped her off at a shop where they sell flower vase and thinking I am done with her, she acted worried, “What is it Chloe? Did you forget something?”
“Oh yes I did, but it’s not that important.”
“Okay, I will start leaving, I am running late.” I added and she held my hands to stop me, “Please just a minute.” What is she up to now?
I waited as she went in and came out with a beautiful flower vase saying, “This is for you for being so kind to drop me off here.”
“You don’t have to go through so much stress, what are friends for.” I rejected it but she refuse, “I insist you have it.”
“Okay, thank you so much for this.” I didn’t even know she added some note to it. I drove off immediately.

I got so exhausted, I think I need a break, I might collapse at this state I am now but I am glad the operation went well, I guess Layla will not be home now so I just go home and rest instead of resting here.
I informed the nurse I will be off and the other surgeon on duty should take over. I got to my apartment and kept the flower vase then I landed on my couch to rest, why does it feel like I am intoxicated, gosh I am so tired.
Fast asleep, I felt a touch on my face and I opened my eyes slowly, Layla is here or maybe I am so tired that I am dreaming of her looking at me with admiration, “Layla”
I heard the crash of something, gosh I am so sleepy but is she really Layla?”Layla!” I called again.
“uhmmm, I didn’t mean to interrupt your sleep. I’m so sorry, I was just leaving.” She replied.
“Stop, why are you back early from school? “ I saw the broken vase.
“I went but left my laptop so I just came to grab that.” While she responded, I looked at the broken vase, I guess I shouldn’t have kept it here, I got so tired and kept it carelessly, which means it was my fault and not hers.
“I didn’t mean to break the vase, I’ll pay for it, I’m sorry.” She pleaded but I don’t get it, why will she be pleading over something I am not angry about?
“You can’t pay for it.” I added and it’s the truth, this is just a gift given to me by someone and it’s not something she can just go out and buy, I got appreciated with it but it’s all good after all Chloe will not know if it’s broken or not.
“I don’t understand, I’ll get the same design.”
I thought of what to say to discourage her from buying a replacement, “It was freaking handmade.”
“So what if it was handmade? I’ll freaking pay for it okay! I’ll pay for her to make another for you.” She yelled and I saw tears rolling down from her eyes and she left in a rush. Why are ladies so complicated? I didn’t know what else to do so I just relaxed back with my eyes closed.

Why? I am trying and it’s seems I will never win his heart.” I cried throughout and skipped dinner and didn’t know the time I doze off completely.*I woke up the following morning feeling discomfort on my body due to the fact I slept in a wrong position.

Why? I am married to him and she is just an ex to him but why does she has more advantage over him? I am married to him this long and we have never slept on the same bed, we have never called ourselves sweet name or cuddle each other, we haven’t done anything as a couple.I remained in here for up to 15 minutes and I tried to put myself together before stepping out and washing my face with the sink. I looked at the mirror after drying my face, I kind of look dull and I don’t want anyone asking me w

Why?” I suddenly remembered and I jumped up immediately and my eyes landed on the clock in the living room, 9am OMG, how did this happen?

Why?” I asked with tears rolling down from my eyes.“Number one stop crying, you are not a baby and lastly, what don’t you understand by I am not in the mood to talk about this? Why are you so eager? We can talk about this another day.” He said walking out on me and not even caring to wipe off my tears, how can a man be this cold to the woman he got married to? The next minute he got out of his room with his car keys in his hands, don’t tell me he is leaving to be with his lover, is she more important now? He is not in

Does he think he will be hurting Chloe? But I am his wife and kissing should be a normal thing right?I got off his bed at once wiping off the tears, I thought this was real a minute ago, why does he keep on doing stuff like this, he makes my heart flutter and then he makes my precious heart to bleed again, why does loving Nate hurt this much and at the same time I still can’t hate him, I still can’t stop loving him the more, everyday my love for him grows deeper. The best way to stop loving him is to distance myself from him, if he a

Chapter 13Layla’s POVThe following morning, I felt better than yesterday, the medication truly worked. I tied my pink towel and headed to the bathroom to have my shower, with the water running and soaking my hair and down to my entire body, his words played in my head, “LAYLA, I AM NOT IN THE MOOD”Why did he yell over something that will benefit him the most? Am I missing something here? Or could it be that he is having some hard time at work that’s why he keep saying he is not in the mood or what? I really wish I could understand him, but he is just too complicated. The only option I have for now is to forget about the divorce topic for some time and bring it up again maybe by then he will be in a good mood to talk about it and also agree to it in one sitting and we both will be free especially him because he will the get the opportunity to be with the only woman he loves the most in this life. I turned off the shower after realizing I have spent close to thirty minutes here.I ti

My life is just too miserable and it’s beyond fixing now, I hate her so much, I hate her and I am envy of her for taking away the man I love so much from me. I got a text from Amanda to meet her at the radio station so I can follow her to the grocery shop, it’s best I go to her and I am sure she will tell me exactly what to do at the moment because I am really confused at the whole thing, he doesn’t want us to talk about us divorcing, he is never in the mood but he has enough time and got good mood whenever it comes to Chloe. I took another taxi and headed directly to the radio station, been a while I came here, guess a few things has changed with what I am seeing right now. I sighted Amanda talking with a guy and she was smiling like an idiot, do not tell me she is in to that guy, wow, I can’t believe
