Marcus returned to the fitness center after he briefly checked his wife at the hospital. He had barely slept, but something kept bothering him.

He walked through the entrance and found the manager behind the desk. “Can I ask you something?”

The manager looked up. “Sure.”

“Did anyone ask about Bella yesterday?”

The man’s expression changed. “You mean the woman who signed up today?”

Marcus nodded. “Yes.”

The manager leaned back. “Why?”

“Just tell me.”

He hesitated. “A man came in a few mi

  • THE TRAINER WHO CLAIMED MY PLUS-SIZE BODY    Chapter 79: The Woman Who Found Out

    The next morning I was standing in front of the mirror, tying my hair into a ponytail, and getting ready for the gym session when my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen. Jake. My stomach tightened. I let it ring. I didn’t want to talk to him. Not after everything that had happened. Ryan was already suspicious about Marcus, and the last thing I needed was another secret appearing between us. The call ended. A few seconds later, Jake called again. I stared at his name. “Why won’t you leave me alone?” The phone kept ringing. I finally answered. “What do you want?” “Bella, you need to listen to me.” His voice was different. There was no teasing. No anger. He sounded worried. I sat on the edge of the bed. “Then talk.” “Clara knows something.” My heart skipped. “What does she know?” “I don’t know exactly.” “Jake, don’t scare me. What happened?” He breathed heavily. “Ever since she caught my phone, she’s been acting strange.” I went quiet. “What do you mean by strang

    Marcus returned to the fitness center after he briefly checked his wife at the hospital. He had barely slept, but something kept bothering him. He walked through the entrance and found the manager behind the desk. “Can I ask you something?” The manager looked up. “Sure.” “Did anyone ask about Bella yesterday?” The man’s expression changed. “You mean the woman who signed up today?” Marcus nodded. “Yes.” The manager leaned back. “Why?” “Just tell me.” He hesitated. “A man came in a few minutes after she left.” “What man?” “I don’t know his name.” “What did he want?” “He asked about Bella.” Marcus’s stomach tightened. “What exactly did he ask?” The manager thought for a moment. “He wanted to know when she usually comes in and how long she stays.” Marcus stared at him. “Did you tell him?” “No. I told him we don’t give out members’ information.” Marcus breathed out slowly. “What did he look like?” “Tall. Dark jacket. He had sunglasses on.” Marcus immediately remembered t

    I stared at Marcus’s message. ‘Bella, we need to talk.’ My fingers tightened around my phone. I looked at Ryan, who was still standing in the doorway. “About what?” I typed. The reply came quickly. ‘Not over text. I’ll tell you tomorrow.’ I frowned and typed back. ‘Why can’t you tell me now?’ This time he took longer to answer. ‘Because I don’t know who might see it.’ My stomach tightened. I glanced at Ryan. He was watching me. “Keep going. Keep messaging him.” He said. I locked my phone. “It’s none of your business.” Ryan gave a quiet laugh. “This in particular is my business.” I didn’t answer. He stepped farther into the room. “What are you and Marcus discussing about?” “I don’t know.” “You were just texting him.” I felt my anger rise again. “Yes I was and so? I went to the gym to work out today. He's just texting me to check up on me. Unlike you, you barely even want to look at me.” “And now he needs to have a private conversation with you.” “That’s not my fault.”

  • THE TRAINER WHO CLAIMED MY PLUS-SIZE BODY    Chapter 76-WHERE WERE YOU?

    When I got home. I knew something was wrong the moment I opened the front door. Ryan was sitting in the living room. He wasn’t watching television. He wasn’t using his phone. He was simply sitting there, waiting. His eyes moved from my face to my workout clothes. “Didn't you get my text? Where were you?” I closed the door behind me. “I went out.” His eyebrows lifted. “Out?” “Yes.” “That’s your answer?” I dropped my bag beside the couch. “What answer were you expecting?” He stood slowly. “You left the house without telling me.” “I didn’t realize I needed permission.” “I didn’t say you needed permission.” He bounced back. “You didn’t have to.” Ryan stared at me. “You joined a gym.” I looked at him. “Yes.” “When?” “Today.” “And you couldn’t tell me?” I laughed softly. “Why would I?” His face hardened. “Because you’re my wife.” I looked at him for a moment. “Are you sure you still remember that?” Silence filled the room. Ryan looked away first. I

  • THE TRAINER WHO CLAIMED MY PLUS-SIZE BODY    Chapter 75- THE FIRST STEP

    When I got to the fitness center I stood outside and stared at the glass doors. For a moment I almost turned around. People were moving inside. Some were lifting weights. Others were running on treadmills. Everyone looked like they knew exactly what they were doing. I looked down at myself. Then I remembered Ryan’s words and how he refused to tell me the truth. I was determined to lose this weight. “He must beg me to come back.” I whispered. My chest tightened. But this time I didn’t let the words stop me. I took a deep breath. “I’m doing this for me,” I whispered again. Then I pushed the door open. The receptionist looked up. “Good morning.” “Good morning.” I smiled nervously. “I’m here to sign up.” She handed me a form. “First time here?” “Yes.” “Great. Just fill this out.” I took the clipboard and sat down. My hands were still shaking slightly. I wrote my name, phone number, and other details. When I reached the section asking about my goals, I paused. Weight loss. I w

  • THE TRAINER WHO CLAIMED MY PLUS-SIZE BODY    Chapter 74- MY OWN DECISION

    I stared at the wedding ring on the nightstand long after Ryan left the bedroom. A strange calm settled over me. I thought I would cry. I thought I would run after him and beg him to come back. But I didn’t. I was tired. Tired of explaining myself. Tired of feeling like I had to prove that I was worth loving. Tired of hearing comments about my body and pretending they didn’t hurt. If Ryan wanted this marriage to fall apart, then let it. I picked up my phone and looked at his name. I didn’t call him. I didn’t text him. For once, I didn’t care where he was sleeping. I opened my chat with Marcus instead. It was late. He was probably still at the hospital with Sophia. I didn’t want to disturb him with a call, so I typed a short message. “Where is the fitness center you went to apply?” I stared at it for a moment before sending it. Then I switched off my phone. I wasn’t waiting for his reply. Tomorrow, I am going to start again. I was going to lose weight. Not because Ryan called me

    Ryan was already dressed for the office when Marcus knocked on the door. I had on my usual black leggings and a loose tank top, the kind that hid most of my belly but still clung when I started sweating. My heart beat faster than normal. This was only our fourth session, but something felt differen

    The second session came faster than I expected. Marcus texted the night before to confirm, and I found myself checking the clock every ten minutes that morning. Ryan had already left for work, which made things feel a little lighter. No eyes judging every move.Marcus showed up right on time, weari

    I checked my phone for the tenth time that morning, heart beating a little too fast. Marcus was supposed to arrive at ten. Ryan had taken the morning off work just to be here for the start. He kept saying it was to make sure I didn’t slack off, but I knew he wanted to see if this trainer was any go

    I scrolled through the comments on my latest Instagram post, forcing that big smile I always wore for the camera. “Bella, you’re a goddess! Those curves are everything!” one girl wrote. Another dropped heart emojis and said, “You make me want to rock my body too. Thank you queen.” The likes poured
