2: Say Something!

*GreenDew Mansion*

Sherry arrived at the gate of the GreenDew mansion, a sprawling one-hectare state owned by the Green family. Axel's billionaire parents gave him the property as a wedding gift.

She paid the taxi driver her fare and added a hefty tip. She left the vehicle and signaled the guard to open the gate.

"Good evening, Ma'am!" The guard conveyed his greetings.

She replied, "Good evening." She walked to the entrance of the sprawling mansion, equipped with modern amenities.

She entered the door, climbed the staircase, and headed to the master's bedroom on the second floor. She entered the room and the moment she closed the door behind her, she broke into tears and ran to her bed, burying her face in her pillow.

After a few minutes of sobbing, she raised her tear-stricken face and glanced at Axel's bed next to hers.

They are not an ordinary couple; they have a separate bed because her husband insisted that he couldn't sleep on it with other people. She accepted his reason with an open mind and agreed to his suggestion to have her own bed.

The weird sleeping arrangement didn't bother her at all because she was slowly falling in love with her reluctant husband.

She got used to their unique set-up and every time they made love, her husband would come to her bed and do the deed; afterward, he would return to his bed and sleep alone, leaving her staring lovingly at his back, wishing he would stay by her side much longer and whisper sweet nothings in her ears.

She longed to sleep in his bed the whole night, run her hands on his muscled chest and wake up every morning with his arms around her.

They don't make love every day, but when it happens, it's amazing!

She couldn't get enough of her husband and now things are getting worse; his heart already belongs to someone else.

Who is the other woman?

She wants to know her identity.

Based on what she heard in their conversation, the woman already had a live-in partner and she left him just to be with Axel. Could it be that the woman was Axel's ex-girlfriend? Or have they recently met?

When did it happen?

When does the cheating begin?

She wiped the tears from her face, went to the bathroom and splashed water on her face. She discarded her party dress and took a quick shower. Any moment from now, her husband might already be home. She needs to appear calm and relaxed.

After she finished bathing, she changed into her pajamas and laid down on the bed.

Her phone rang, she fished out her device from her handbag and she answered her husband's call.

'Hon, where are you? I can't find you here at the party.'

'I'm already home. I have a terrible headache and I tried finding you everywhere but I couldn't find you so I decided to ride a taxi and go home. I'm home now; don't worry about me. Enjoy the party!'

'Take some medicine. Don't wait for me. I'll come home late tonight. I have some important things to discuss with my business associates.'

'Okay.'

The short phone conversation with her husband made her blood boil. She was furious that he was lying, using the name of business to be with his woman. If he truly cares about her, he will go home quickly to be with her.

Obviously, he's spending time with his mistress right now!

The reason she didn't confront her husband and his mistress at the party right away is because she didn't want people to talk about the scandal. She doesn't want their family problem to end up in a newspaper with the caption, 'The Billionaire Wife caught her husband cheating on her during the party.'

It will have a domino effect on the entire Green family, including her. So leaving the party without confronting her husband and his mistress is the wisest thing to do during that time.

She made the right decision, although she really wanted to confront them on the spot.

Despite the fact that she hates her husband for cheating on her, she doesn't want the press to tear them apart. Sensitive things such as cheating that can potentially damage the Green family's prestige are a big no to her vocabulary.

The Green family saved her parents business from bankruptcy. By injecting the much-needed capital invested by Axel's family, the family business managed to flourish again and soar to much greater heights with the two-family partnership. Her family owed Axel's family a lot. She can't tarnish Green's family image, no matter how painful his cheating was to her.

She stared at the ceiling of the room, debating whether to confront her husband tonight or tomorrow.

And what is she going to do once Axel has already served her the divorce papers?

Should she sign the divorce paper and be done with it?

But she loves her husband; she can't bear leaving his side. She's been taking her role as his wife seriously. She loves him despite his cold treatment of her. She was hopeful that he could finally learn to love her as the days went by. What she didn't expect was to find him in the arms of another woman.

Why can't he fall in love with her? For God's sake! She is his wife!

Why is this happening to her marriage life?

When it comes to her personality, she's not even ugly. She has an hourglass figure, a beautiful face, and a charming personality. Why is it hard for her husband to fall for her? Some of the arranged marriages she knows ended well; the majority of the couple fell in love with each other in the end. But why can't she and Axel make their marriage work?

She tried her best to be a good wife to him but all her efforts were in vain the moment she discovered his infidelity.

Pain squeezed her heart again. She burst into tears, filling the room with her heartbreaking cries.

Feeling miserable, she cried her heart out. Her cries lasted for a few minutes, and when the tears finally subsided, she didn't want to cry anymore. She went to the couch and watched TV to forget about her problems, even for just a few hours.

Time went by.

She finished watching two movies and kept looking at the clock on the wall.

It's already 11:30 and her husband has not come home yet. Where is he now? What took him so long to go home?

He is definitely with his mistress right now, having a good time with her in bed.

Jealousy gripped her heart painfully, causing her to cry in anguished. She forced herself not to cry again; she's tired of crying. She chose another film to watch. She won't sleep tonight until her husband comes home.

She was halfway through the steamy movie when the door opened and Axel entered the room.

He looked at her with a surprised look on his face. "Why are you still awake? Are you watching porn?" he asked, glancing briefly at the steamy movie playing on the TV screen. He walked to the bed, discarded his clothes, and hopped into the bed wearing only his boxers.

Sherry turned off the TV, moved toward his bed, and discarded her pajamas, leaving only her underwear. She climbed onto his bed and grabbed his crotch.

Surprised, Axel looked at her and raised a brow. "What are you doing?" he asked, looking at her hand sneaking inside his boxers.

"I'm horny, hon," she replied, stroking his manhood up and down; his rod sprang alive with her expert maneuvering.

"I'm not in the mood right now. I'm tired and sleepy," Axel protested, but he didn't do anything to stop his wife from stroking his manhood, which was already in an erect state.

He groaned, annoyed with her boldness. He pushed her down onto the bed and pinned her down with his body. He ripped her flimsy underwear and entered her in one powerful deep thrust, and he began pounding her core with wild abandon.

His powerful thrust into her silky wall brought her to the edge of Nirvana; her body clenched as she reached her climax. His body shuddered as he emptied his seed inside her, then rolled on the other side, facing the wall, putting a safe distance between them.

Sherry stared at his back, her eyes flashing with anger. "Was sex better with her?" she asked, misty-eyed.

Axel quickly turned his head, and his eyes widened in confusion. "Huh? What the hell are you talking about?"

"Is sex with your mistress better than our sex?" Sherry repeated her question, not giving her husband a chance to ignore the topic.

"I don't know what you are talking about. Go back to your bed now! I'm going to sleep," Axel said, facing the wall again.

"I hear you and your mistress having a conversation in a hidden place in the garden of the Hamilton Mansion. I hear everything. I hear about the divorce paper and you're going to give it to me after our second year anniversary." Sherry bit her lip as pain tore her heart into tiny pieces once again.

Speechless, Axel stared at his wife with a shock expression in his face.

"Say something!" Sherry demanded, her voice breaking as tears filled her eyes.
