Chapter 004

Michael's POV

I knew I had been cheating on Esther with her best friend, but I couldn't believe her cheating on me.

All men cheat! The world knows, but as a woman, it's wrong to cheat on your husband.

Why would Esther do this to me? So, all this while she pretended to be a Saint. I can't believe I've been sharing my wife with someone.

Sometimes I stare at Esther at night while she is asleep, wondering how she would feel when she finds out that I'm sleeping with her best friend.

I thought I was the one cheating. Not knowing she was cheating on me too.

Why Esther? Why?

I was highly disappointed and heartbroken.

I heard my phone ring, which brought me back from the train of thought.

“Ahh,” I groaned as I gritted my teeth.

I glanced at the screen and a number appeared.

“Who is this?” I murmured as I bit my lower lips and answered the call.

“Good afternoon sir,” I heard a strange voice.

“Afternoon, who is this please,” I asked with much concern.

“We are calling the general hospital to inform you that your wife was involved in a car accident,” he explained.

I furrowed my brows.

“Look, I have nothing to do with her anymore, she is no longer my fucking wife,” I spat as I ended the call, not even bothering to know the state Esther was in.

‘My love, you are my heart and soul, my forever and always. No matter where life takes us, I promise to stand by your side, love you endlessly, and cherish every moment we share. Forever is not just a promise—it's my vow to you.’

Esther's words to me on our wedding night echoed in my ears. “fuck!” I groaned.

I was right a few months back when I started losing interest in Esther. I was right when I took the risk of expressing my feelings for Maya.

Shortly after, I heard a knock on my door. Before I could ask who that was, Maya came in. I let out a heavy sigh.

“Hey, you here?” she asked as she came and sat beside me.

“Ahh yes, Esther left a few minutes ago and mom followed. I'm sorry I left you in the office,” I apologized.

“Ahh it's OK,” Maya said as she gave me a peck on the lips.

“Are you still thinking of that bitch?” she asked with jealousy.

I stared into her beautiful blue eyes. “No… It's just.. Complicated,” I said.

A thought just popped up in my head. “ Those pictures were sent to my office anonymously, I don't know who sent them to me,” I said surprisingly.

“What?” Maya shouted. I looked at her and nodded.

“Well, the most important thing is you have gotten rid of her, and you are fully mine now,” she said softly as she placed her hand on my chest. Every touch she made ignited the desire in me.

“Let's fuck!” she whispered.

A sarcastic laugh slipped past my lips as I shook my head. “Some other time, not now,” I said as I breathed heavily.

She shrugs and blood rushes to my cock at the sight of her hardened nipples poking through my shirt.

I gasped. “We are in the living ro…..”

“Shhhh,” she placed a finger on my lips, staring at me with those seductive eyes that never failed to make my entire body weak.

I breathed heavily, I could feel my cock hardened to rock.

I quickly pulled off my shirt and took off my underwear. My cock pointed at Maya as I helped her rip her dress off.

I snatched her panties with my teeth as I laid her down on the couch like a puppet.

I raised her legs and placed them on my shoulders and began thrusting in

******

My eyes fluttered open as the wincing bright light attacked my eyes. I blinked repeatedly to get accustomed to the lights.

Maya was still sleeping on the other couch. I rose up and rubbed my eyes. I glanced at the wall clock, and it was already 4pm.

I yawned before stretching to grab my phone. My heart skipped a beat when I saw 23 missed calls from my mother.

I quickly dialed her number as my heart kept pounding.

“Hey mom..” I quickly spoke.

“Please is this Michael Joel?” a strange voice asked. I furrowed my brows and asked.

“Yes I am. Where is my mother?”

“Your mother is at the hospital…”

“What!” I shouted as I flung the phone and grabbed my car keys. Maya raised her head quickly and confused.

“where are you going?” she asked.

“Hospital,” I replied as I rushed out.

“what is…” I slammed the door before she could complete her statement.

I entered my car and quickly zoomed off to the hospital.

I arrived at the receptionist's desk confused. “Where is my mother?” I asked a young nurse.

“Who are you pleasing?” she asked, as she put a smile on her face.

“Michael. Michael Joel, I just received a call from the hospital,” I said.

“Ohh… please go see the doctor,” she said as her index pointed at the door. My heart kept pounding as I rushed to the door. I twisted the doorknob and entered, without even knowing.

“Hey, where is my mom?” I asked. The doctor who was buried in the files raised his head and his eyes pinned mine.

He let out a heavy sigh before removing his glasses. “I'm highly disappointed,” he said as he looked at me like I had been disgusted with him. That alone made my heart cling painfully.

“Your mother was rushed to the hospital an hour ago, and she was short of blood. We called you several times, and you didn't pick up,” he said.

If he knew who I was I bet he wouldn't be talking to me like that, but I'm not in a position for any inconveniences.

“Is my mom still alive or dead?” I managed to ask as multiple thoughts crossed my mind.
