"It's time!" Cynthia screamed and entered the roomI sighed and looked at Judith who was smiling at me. She became my parents involuntarily when our parents died some years back and I wondered what my mom would say if she was here today"Judith" I called and my sister looked at me "I missed our parents" her mood changed instantly "I'm thinking about how everything might have been different if our parents are still alive" I said and tried not to cry"I missed them too. Everyday" Judith confession came as a shock to me. Judith have never talked about how she felt about our parents before, at least, not in my presence"I'm not supporting this" Cynthia who was watching both of us said "Today is an happy day and I'm sure that your parents are happy for you. Get up it's time to go in"Judith came back to herself after Cynthia's words and got up "Let's go"I handed Maxwell to Judith and got up"There is the bride!" One of the paparazzi screamed when he sa

The next morning, I walked into Jason office and said "Jason, the candidates are here""Okay" he replied nonchalantly and continued with what he was working on on his laptop"Jason?""Give me thirty minutes. I'm working on something very important right now""Okay" I said and went back to my officeTwenty five minutes later, my office phone rang and I picked it up"They can start coming in""Okay" I said"And Lexi...""Yes?""Let them in through my door""Okay" I replied and got out of my seatI walked to the waiting room where the candidates were seated and wondered how Jason was going to interview all of them in a day"Mrs Stokes nice meeting you" a young lady said and reached out her hand for an handshake"Nice meeting you too" I said as I shook her handI had became quite famous since the day I married Jason and to some extent, I loved itBefore the other ladies could do the same thing she did, I spo

I walked into the bar and saw Cynthia at our usual seat. She waved at me when she saw me and I waved back"I thought you wouldn't come" she said sadly and ordered Bailey's matini"And you?" The barman asked me"Tom Collins""It's nice to finally have you all to myself" she said "how are you doing?""I'm doing great and you?""I don't know" she said, shook her head and took a sip out of her drink"What's going on Cynthia? You don't seem happy""I don't know. I don't know if I should tell you this is not""Are we keeping secrets from each other now?" I asked and raised an eyebrow"You don't get it Lexi. It's wrong. I don't know what is wrong with me""What are friends for if not to bear each other's pain. I'm here for you" She gulped down are drink and said "I'm falling in love for a man that is wrong for him. I don't want to become a bad person but I can't help my feelings towards him""Is he someone that I know?"

I and Jason woke up late the next morning and even though we later slept together in the same room last night, something wasn't right this morning. There was something like an invisible wall between us and we treated ourselves like strangers.Jason opened the car door for me as usual but there was nothing like the usual smooching and teasing.I sat down like a robot and picked up my phone which I had forgotten inside the car yesternoonThere were several calls and messages on it, most of it from Cynthia. And when I went through Cynthia messages, all of them meant the same thing 'I didn't do it".I put down my phone as Jason started the car and headed to the office.Later in the day, someone walked into my office and I looked up from the file that I was going through, it was Cynthia. Her eyes were red and she didn't use her usual makeover"Lexi" she called slowly as she stood in front of my table"You can see that I'm busy""Please" she pleaded

Jason ran out of his office when he saw me dragging my bags to the elevator."Lexi where are you going to?" He asked with a shaky voice. He was standing in front of the elevator door"I'm leaving""To where?""That is none of your business""I'm your husband""For now" I replied. My heart ached when I said this and I almost broke down in front of him. I looked at the diamond ring in my hand and looked at Jason. He promised to be faithful to me. "Be expecting my divorce papers""Lexi please...I'm working on this""There is nothing you are working on Jason. All what you have to do is to tell me the truth and I'm going to forgive you. I forgave you the first time""I didn't do it. That wasn't me!""Excuse me. I'm done with the lies""Lexi please...""I can't stay under the same roof with a cheater and a liar""I'm neither one""Let me pass""I need more days. I'm working on this" he said desperately"Jason.
