Return of the ex

Rita Wales was a little absent-minded at the moment.

All she could think of since this afternoon was the doctor's words. "Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."

Suddenly, Grey Fetherson pinched her arm. "What are you thinking about?"he asked her looking surprised

Grey was her husband. They had been married secretly for 4 years. He was her boss at work,the ruthless president of the Fetherson group.

Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. At that time, Grey’s grandmother fell seriously ill. It was then she who proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandmother’s dying wish.

They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Rita only considered herself lucky at that time.

Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for a long time . She delightfully agreed.

After their marriage, Grey was very busy. He spent most of his time working.

No, Rita wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past 4years.

Except for his mild indifference, Grey was a perfect husband.Rita had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. After much contemplation she decided to tell Grey the news.

Just when she was about going to tell Grey ,his phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone.

Rita checked the time and found that it was already midnight. She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Grey at this time?

Grey spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into casual attire. Turning to face Rita he said"Don't wait for me. Good night," he said finally.

What? He was on his way out? At this hour?

Rita’s grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late.

Grey looked at her,With a faint smile, he ran his hands through her face and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."

With that, he headed for the door.

"Grey"

Rita quickly ran and caught up with him. Grey turned around and looked at her seriously.

"What is it woman?"

There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other.

A little distressed, Rita asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandfather tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"

Her grandfather always wanted to see her. As a result, Rita wanted to take Grey there to assure her grandpa they were happy.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Grey left in a hurry.

Several thoughts were threading Rita’s mind. She couldn't sleep a wink.

After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. While still drinking the milk her phone rang showing an unknown number. Rita hesitated for sometime but still decided to pick to pick .

“Hello!!!”Rita said but no response.the person ended the call .Rita tried to call the same number back but it was not going through. Just when she was about to drop the phone,she saw some pictures sent as new messages .

However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar face made her look carefully into the picture.

Behold, it is veteran actress Nicole Johnson, her husband's ex-girlfriend who is in the picture was sp with her mysterious boyfriend.

Nicole was wearing a blue hat with a scarf wrapped around her head .The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing.

Rita zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. Greg was the man in the picture!

“So, he left hurriedly just to go be with Nicole?”Rita said with so much pain in her voice .

This realization settled like a boulder in Rita’s gut, rendering her flustered.

Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Grey’s number.

The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end.

"Hello!"

It was a particularly gentle woman's voice.

Rita froze for a second and then threw the phone away.

She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl.

The next morning, Rita went to work on time.

Grey had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money.

Grey didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores.

The head assistant, Anthony was left to take care of the major affairs Grey had.

Anthony was the only Fetherson Group employee who knew about their marriage.

Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Rita was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Grey.

It took a while before they realized that Grey never gave Rita special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more.

After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.

At this time, one of Rita’s colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Grey’s office.

Grey didn't return home last night. Rita was so worried that she didn't sleep at all.

All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Grey ?

Rita already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial.

It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact.

Rita tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving grey . This couldn't be all for nothing, right?

She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good.

She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly.

"Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Rita or not?"

The voice belonged to Ray Martins , a childhood friend of Grey.

"What do you mean exactly?" Gret asked in a very cold voice.

"You know exactly what I mean!" Ray clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Rita is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"

"Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Grey asked carelessly.

"You know what, forget it!"

The scornful laughter of Ray sounded particularly harsh in Rita’s ears.

They were talking about her as if she were an object.

Rita took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document.

Soon, Ray’s voice was heard again.

"That aside,I heard you are still going out with Nicole ,is that true?

“Oh yes” Grey said, smiling.

"But Grey, you know you’re married,you should end things with Nicole by now .I wonder what she has done to you to make you like her like this”.

Ray sighed and continued to tease Grey . "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."

Their conversation was like thunder exploding over Rita’s head.

Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice.

The woman was indeed Nicole!

Absence made the heart grow fonder! Every word drove a knife into her heart.

Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry.

She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door opened from inside.

"Rita” Grey said in shock, wondering if she heard about his discussions with Ray.”Next time knock before entering okay!”Grey said quickly to conceal his shock .
