Marital Affairs, A Broken Vow

I stirred awake, my eyes fluttered open. Where was I? I raised myself to a sitting position and saw I was naked.And there was someone beside me. I turned to see that this person had the blankets pulled over their head. It was none other than my husband.I winced a little as my head throbbed. I shook him awake. "Hey, babe. Wake up."He merely stirred but did not wake. "Christian, get up. We slept through the party." I shook him.The door opened just then. "What is going on here?"I faced the door and paled. There was my husband standing on the doorway.Who was this other guy? "What are you doing, Hailey?" There was anger and hurt.I opened my mouth and closed them back, feeling like a fish out of water. I blinked my eyes to be sure I was seeing clearly. I pulled down the blankets and gasped.Fear squeezed tighter, apprehension crept up my spine. I could feel blood drain from my face."You cheated on me?!" Christian's boyish handsome face went taut in derision and betrayal. "N-no, I

Payback

In my haste to make a run for the bathroom, I almost fell flat on my face. I managed to untangle the bedsheet around me and within seconds, I was kneeling before the toilet bowl and puking my guts out."Mrs. Baldwin?" A gentle voice called."Almost done." I replied amidst vomits. My maid, Lisa, waited until I was done. I flushed, then gently stood to go rinse my mouth and wash my hands by the sink."Yes, Lisa?" I turned to her when I was done."Your tea is ready, ma'am. It'll help calm your stomach." She said."Thank you. Where's my husband? Did he return home last night?" I was still weak but my stomach was stable a bit.Christian had not been home last night. Due to my morning sickness and other pregnancy-induced factors, I had been unable to wait for him."I think he's in his room." She commented, following me obediently back into our matrimonial bedroom."In his room? You have no idea if he came into our room last night?" That was new. Why was he in his room? We both had our sep

Wrong Target?

It's been two days. Two days since I last saw my husband. I had no choice than to lodge in a hotel when I saw it was getting late.Thankfully, one of the purses he had thrown at me contained two of three of my credit cards. The third one was in my drawer.I had to get myself a new phone because my old one was on top of my bedside table when I left. I was hurt but I was also trying to understand that he was angry.He had seen me with another man and now, I was carrying another man's child. I tried calling him yesterday since I had his number off hand, he had picked at first but as soon as he heard my voice, he ended it and didn't pick again after that.I was now in a restaurant trying to eat. My baby needed food to survive. Even though I was not hungry, I was obligated to eat for my baby's sake.I did not like the hotel's food so I found this really nice restaurant close by. But after toying with the ravioli I ordered, I pushed it away. I lowered my head so no one would see the tears.

Public Humiliation

I walked back into the restaurant. I allowed my eyes roamed the place, I spotted where he was seated. I marched towards his table. He was with some men. There were glasses of wine before them and a bottle.There was the waitress who had served me coming towards me. "Ma'am, here's your bill. I..."I ignored her and focused on the table of these men. I randomly picked two glasses still filled with wine and emptied their contents on him, angry tears filling my eyes."I hope your conscience haunts you everyday of your life!" I took the other two wine glasses while he stared in shock and also poured them on him. "I hope you never find peace and may your marriage, if you have any, and life in general be ruined the same way you ruined mine." I wiped tears with the back of my hand. "I hope karma visits you and steal your happiness as you have stolen mine."I turned away from his table and, on heavy legs and with a despaired heart, walked to mine to get my bag. I opened it and brought my card

A Big Dent In His Reputation

JAREDA knocked sounded on my door, I was very much in a bad place and would so like to order that person away but this was a business place.I had to be careful, it could be an important client. "Who is that?"The door opened and whoever it was walked in. "What gave you the right to walk in, Miss Bordeaux?" My head was still bent over paperwork.No client would walk into my office without being invited. "Have you read the news, Jared?" I whipped my head up. "Uncle Pete. Good morning.""Morning, Jared. Here." The man who looked so much like my father, he was his twin actually, slid his phone across to me and took one of the chairs opposite mine."What's happening on the news?" Perplexity could be heard in my voice as I took his phone and read what he was trying to show me.Anger tightened. "You know this is not me, uncle."He observed me. "Who is that girl? She seem to be pretty certain of knowing you.""She's a lunatic. Who even allowed this to be posted?! I should shut down that

More Trouble

"Where are you taking me to?" I asked, taking note of the different route he was driving.He had come to bail me few minutes ago. I had spent thirty six hours in a holding cell. I'd had my morning sickness just this morning and it was a kind female cop that had helped me with a bucket.I was itchy and unkempt but I didn't care about my physical looks, not when my heart was bruised. This emotional turmoil was too much for me."Is that the apology you should be rendering?" His tone was as I'd heard it the last time — unfriendly and hard."You want me to apologize to you after what you've done to me?" My voice shook badly with sadness and disbelief.I blinked back tears. "Take me to my husband, let's go talk to him. You're the only one who can clear this air! You had sex with me.""Shut up!" He bellowed.His deep angry voice had me flinching as though he'd slapped me. "Someone — who was definitely not me — had sex with you and you didn't even know?! What are you? A child? How can a full

Family Crisis

"How dare you?! The audacity!" She raged as Uncle Pete pulled her away from me. "Let go of me, Pete. Let me teach this gold digger a lesson!""Don't touch her, Martha. What is wrong with you?! How could you hit a pregnant girl?" Uncle Pete was not at all happy with how she'd behaved.Me, on the other hand, could only cry and hold my cheeks. The events of the past two days bore down heavily on me and had me wailing like a baby before everyone."Stop that crocodile tears of yours and get out of this house!" Jared's mother, Martha bellowed angrily. "You gold digger! You think I don't know your type. You're out to ruin my son. To ruin his reputation. You want to marry into money, is that it?! I'll teach you never to try to humiliate my son! Do you know who the Johnson family is, you stupid whore?!""Enough, Martha! Enough!" Uncle Pete was angry and yelled at her.I sank back into the chair in pain and despair. When I raised my head to meet Jared's gaze, he was quiet. I could not decipher

Disagree To Agree

The click of heels coming from the foyer subdued every conversation. Only Martha was exclaiming in anger. "What the hell, Pete?!"A girl came into view. To say she was beautiful, was understating it. She looked like a goddess and even walked like one. But something told me she was going to be one evil goddess.I might be wrong."Hey babe." She squealed as soon as she saw Jared and ran to him."Hey, baby." Jared was happy to see her as well. He stood and hugged her. They exchanged a brief kiss. I should not be watching them display their affection so openly but I couldn't help it. Someone cleared their throat, I jerked my eyes away to meet Martha's hateful one. She had seen me moping hopelessly at them like some pervert.Ashamed, I brought my head down. I couldn't even look at Uncle Pete to know if he had seen or not. "So who is marrying who?" She asked again, taking in everyone's faces. She stopped when she got to mine, a small frown appeared. "Who is she?"Pulling her close to him

Marry Him...Or Not

It's been two days. I had been to another hell and back. I'd visited Christian at the company but he had ordered no one to let me in. Uncle Pete had gone with me for support. I had tried the house my father built with his hard earned money, same mean treatment. Even his ex-girlfriend — now girlfriend — Denise Kellers, had treated me worse. She's splashed cold water on me before I saw it coming. I was currently in the car with Uncle Pete crying my eyes out. "He doesn't want me anymore, uncle Pete. What have I done to deserve this? I didn't plan for this to happen.""I'm sorry you're going through this. But at a point, you have to make a choice." He comforted me.I wiped my tears and stared at him. "You do not expect me to marry Jared, do you uncle Pete? He doesn't even like me. Did you not see how he and his mother and girlfriend treated me?""Martha has never been an easy woman. Jared is short tempered and sometimes too stoic for his own good but that doesn't make him a bad person."

A Call From Christian

My phone rang while I was in the room. I had been given a room in the Johnson's mansion but Jared and his Martha were mad at me for not agreeing to the marriage yet.That was after I'd changed my initial yes to a solid no. They would not understand. I had everything to lose and they would just enjoy the proceeds of this marriage into the Johnson family.Uncle Pete was the only one who was patient with me and he was also asking Jared to be patient with me too. Excitement and nerves bloomed in the pit of my stomach when I saw the caller ID. Christian.Had he changed his mind? Was this going to work for me after all?Eager to find out, I picked. "Hello.""Hey. Uhmm...I need to see you." He said.I gauged his tone. It was calm. There was none of the meanness or bitterness when he talked to me. It was as if we were back to how we used to be. "Okay, where?" This was too real to be true but I had to believe that Dad's advice was saving my marriage.Maybe he was ready to talk. Maybe he was
