-
When I got my passbook from the bank teller, I checked its contents. A bitter smile touched my lips after seeing only eigthy dollars left on my bank account.
After all the important thing I have paid off the debt and I no longer owe monthly payments.
After leaving the bank and since I was already at the mall, I bought a chocolate cake.
“Ma’am, what should I put on the dedication cake?” The person who assisted me at this cake shop asked.
“Happy fourth wedding anniversary,” I answered the woman with a smile.
“Wow! Congratulations, Ma’am.”
“Thank you.”
After buying the cake, I also bought a platter of spaghetti. Joshua, my husband, told me he would be busy and would work overtime, so I wanted to surprise him.
He worked for a multi-billionaire jewelry company, therefore he was often busy and almost slept there.
We need to get better at work to pay off all our debts. I often help him with his works and other work for the company.
My surprises are sure to bring a huge smile to his face. Aside from paid our debt, I can get a promotion tomorrow if my presentation is successful.
I can’t wait to tell all the good news to my husband and this time we can start a family.
Upon arriving at the company, I signed first for the visitor’s lounge.
“Thank you,” I said, thanking the staff for giving me my visitor ID.
I headed straight for the elevator and, with office hours having concluded almost two hours prior, I saw no employees and reached the level where my husband was.
I surveyed surroundings and noticed an absence of people.
I proceeded to Joshua’s table and placed the food. The bag he always brought was still there, so that meant he hadn’t left yet.
“Ooh! Ahh!”
I looked where a woman’s moan came from.
“A-Ahh, baby!”
I walked slowly and tried not to make any noise.
Afraid to even hear my breathing, I hold my breath.
“A-Ahhh!!”
Arriving outside the office where the voice came from, the door opened slightly, allowing a glimpse of the occupant. My husband was visible on the sofa, between my best friend’s legs, both naked and both ejaculating, kissing each other as if they were so hungry for each other.
I couldn’t bear to look at them. They disgusted me.
I’m not certain how I walked with the tenderness I felt. I left that floor and went straight out of this company.
I took the first taxi I had encountered. When I got in, I told the driver my exact address.
How were two important people in my life able to do this to me? My husband is the only man who loved me and Hazel, the only best-friend since we were in middle school.
————
As I entered the house, I cried unceasingly. I filled every corner of the house with my cries.
Never in my dreams would I have thought they would do this to me.
I didn’t realize how many hours I cried and I just noticed my unfaithful husband’s arrival.
I stood up to talk to him thoroughly.
I am uncertain how to address him regarding what I witnessed, how to commence. I don’t want us to end up arguing.
I opened my mouth, but before I could speak, he spoke first, which I stopped.
“Our marriage is no longer valid.”
He took a folder from his bag and placed it on the table.
“Aren’t you going to explain why you cheated on me—”
“I don’t love you.” He sounded sure of every word he uttered.
My jaw was hanging in the air. My brain couldn’t process what he said.
He didn’t love me, he didn’t love me anymore. Those two are different.
He let out a sigh. “I saw what you left on my table, I presume you saw me and—”
My palm flew to his cheek. This was the first time my palm had touched his cheek like this.
“You don’t even intend to explain?” I asked in disbelief while holding back tears.
“I don’t love you. What don’t you understand about that?” He asks irritably.
“You don’t love me? We’ve been married for four years. Why did you do this to me now? Of all people, why my best-friend?”
“Your friend can help me get promoted to general manager of the company. Have you got know on the position’s level and the salary it offers? If her mother resigns, they will help be the next general manager of multi-billionaire company.”
Before we got married, we separated for three years—after we graduated from college. He subsequently returned to me and, following our intimidate wedding, he joined the company where Hazel is working with Hazel’s assistance and her mother.
Ever since he started working, I’ve been doing almost all of his reports, so it’s like I have two jobs, but all of my salary goes to paying bills and paying off his debt and his parents debt–which we owe because we got married.
“I don’t need your help anymore to do my job,” he said with a smile. “Hazel will help me get a higher position in that company.”
He stayed at his job for a long time because of me, because of my making his works. All this time, he just used me it to last at work.
“I should have given you this last month and told you,” he said without hesitation.
Last month, I stayed up several nights to do his fault reports. After revising several times, it was approved.
I didn’t even receive a thank you from him, thinking he was so busy why he forgot to say at least thank you.
Joshua removed the documents from the folder and handed them to me. “We’ve been divorced for over a month.”
NATHALIE’S POV-“Excuse me.” I grabbed the server’s attention again to bring the soup with bread and butter.“Yes, ma’am? How may I help you?” he asked after placing the appetizer on the table.“Where’s the restroom?”He pointed me in the direction, and after that I thanked him and left.I looked at the table where Sir Calix and Brianna were.I was shocked to see Sir Calix not just looking at me; he lock his gazed at me. I pointed in the restroom's direction to gesture that I was about to leave. Her forehead twitched. He was about to stand up, but Brianna pulled his coat..When Sir Calix shifted his gaze to Brianna, I got up and hurried to the restroom. I could no longer stop the urine in the air-conditioned cold. After I urinated, washed my hands, and was ready to leave, I glanced in the mirror and saw my reflection.To my surprise, my makeup and hair still looked good. It’s been a while since I’ve done this.I’m shy to praise myself, but I felt beautiful tonight. I press my lips
NATHALIE’S POV-“You did a super great job, baby.” I complimented Brianna after she finished walking as a flower girl, and then she ran towards me.Apart from her not remaining at the seat’s front with her companions, her stroll was without incident.I helped her sit next to me. “I took pictures and videos of you. I’ll show you later.”She nodded happily.Phone use was prohibited because teams had been shooting videos and photos, and, critically, to protect Brianna’s privacy and prevent unauthorized images of her.Aside from not bothering the video and photographer team, no one reprimanded me either. I have no intention of uploading it to any social media accounts.The wedding continued without a hitch. Putting away their phones, everyone focused their attention on the couple, and the love between Mr. Wallace and Chloe, palpable in their wedding vows, moved some to tears.It turns out this is their second marriage, not their first. They’ve been separated twice, actually separating m
THIRD PERSON’S POV-Nathalie stood up from her seat, while the two people in front of her waited for an answer.Before she could even open her mouth and answer Madam Beatrice’s question, a woman approached them.She recognized the woman by her face. It was the coordinator who was taking care of the entourage members.“Ma’am, excuse me. Can you come with me for a moment?” the woman asked.Nathalie’s concern immediately subsided. She knew that there was only one reason the coordinator wanted to talk to her and that was because of Brianna.“Sure, sure.” Nathalie answered without hesitation, asking no more questions. “Excuse me, Madame, Sir. I need to leave.” She hurriedly and politely said goodbye to Calix’s parents.She didn’t waste a second and invited the wedding coordinator to go to Brianna.Mr. Ethan Watson should have had no further concern with Nathalie; in his eyes, she was an ordinary person with no business value, and was even poorer than a rat. However, Nathalie’s mention of h
NATHALIE’S POV-The trip lasted around five minutes. Despite the venue was nearby, Sir Calix drove slowly. The parking lot was open and spacious, with quite a lot of cars already parked.“Are you ready, baby?” I asked while fixing her full bangs.She nodded excitedly.“Less than thirty minutes before the ceremony starts.”I looked in the rear-view mirror, waiting for him to invite us to get out of the car.He took his phone from her slacks then noticed me looking in the rear-view mirror.He glanced at the mirror then turned to us.“Sir, aren’t we going out yet?”“Not until the ceremony starts.”“What? It would be a waste of Brianna’s outfit and the effort of her leaving your mansion if she wasn’t photographed.”Brianna and I had already talked earlier, while she was getting ready, that I would take lots of pictures of her to commemorate her first time as a flower girl.“Got it.”I looked at Brianna and clapped. “Ye-hey!”When Sir Calix unlocked the car, Brianna and I got out of th
NATHALIE’S POV-“Are you ready to see the stunning new look of this year’s most beautiful wedding guest?!” Purple, the flamboyant makeup artist who did my makeup, excitedly announced.They had just finished doing my makeup. I heard the makeup look they did for me was vanilla makeup. As for my hair, it was a half ponytail that they curled into a wavy style.Now I’m in the room where all the clothes are. The dress they made me wear was stunning — crimson-green, figure-hanging gown with a daring thigh-high slit and halter design. The dress features a flowing, sheer cape-like overlay. As for heels, it’s a black spool heel. I also have a frame bag with my phone, and the powder and lipstick they gave me for touch-ups.Chloe and I were in different places getting our make-up done, so only Brianna could see the make-up look, since Brianna went first to be with me before I was done.Purple knocked from outside. “Are you ready?” she asked.“Yes, girl!” shouted Pepper, the girl with me and the
NATHALIE’S POV-“How about you?” He asked as Brianna and I left the room after I got her dressed.We took out lunch earlier at a restaurant after that we ate in the hotel room while watching cartoons for Brianna. I was even clapping with laughter when she told me earlier that ber father was bragging about the extra milkshake. Sir Calix was confused and made the excuse that he didn’t know because he thought the milkshake was for him like the pizza.I also got Sir Calix’s black card back a while ago and I don’t think I’ll ever touch it again. Honestly, because I know it’s not mine and I know how much money it contains, I’m nervous about handling it.“Why are you still wearing a scrub suit? I didn’t bring you here just to babysit my child, you’re my plus one, you’re a guest.Besides, Chloe invited you as a guest too.”“Sir, all the clothes I bought are scrub suits. Weren’t all my clothes in the laundry when we left your mansion?”He blinked his eyes rapidly as if he had just realized tha
