chapter 2

783 Words
My brain was having difficulty understanding exactly what I was staring at. My office table was in sight as the glass walls made everything visible. "You feel so f*****g good." A deep voice which I knew too well grunted. A giggle erupted a second later in response to the statement, that was all I needed to comprehend the whole situation. I watched as the man whose ring was on my finger claimed me as his wife and my assistant banging each other right on my table. My hands flew to my mouth as realization dawned on me, the shock from seeing and hearing them made me shift back, stumbling against the table, and I pushed the chair backwards. "Did you hear that?" I quickly dodged and stepped back from the glass view. "What?" James hissed impatiently. "I think I heard-" she trailed off. "Never mind, just hurry up already." "No need to rush, there is still time before the b***h lands." His statement was like a slap to my face, my ears were ringing. "Really?" "Yes baby, a few more rounds for us." "Once she's back I can't have you." She had the nerve to sound sad. "I know but it's just for a while, you know it's you I love, it's her money that's keeping me." Their mixed chuckle ran across the room, travelled up my nerves, and made my heart sink to my stomach. I took a few steps away and bile rose in my throat making me disgusted by what I just saw. I quickly took out my phone, I noticed the red mark, the message never went through so he wasn't aware I was back. Without thinking, I hit the call button and waited. "Hello." He sounded disrupted and out of breath. Pushing aside my irritation and disgust I replied as neutral as I could. "Uhuh, where are you?" I couldn't control myself. Almost instantly he replied. "In the firm's lounge, waiting for you, coming back today right?" "No, work has been extended, will be back in two days." "Oh." Excitement tingled in his tone and anger erupted in my mind. "Be safe, don't worry me and Rebecca will take care of things on this end." The irony behind what he said made me clench my fists and my grip on my phone tightened. I ended the call. "Looks like we have more time." She cooed. "Yes, we do, and even more when we finally get rid of the dumb f**k and have her money all to ourselves." "She's so annoying." "She pisses me off with the fact she thinks she's so perfect and has it all. Can't believe she thinks I love her." James spat out. So he never actually loved me, it was all for the money. The thought kept ringing in my head and anger boiled in my veins. Fury made me almost laugh out, I never saw it coming, my husband and my assistant. The two people that have the most access to me and my belongings. I will show them who's dumb, they were in for the shock of their lives. My hands reacted before I knew and I found myself recording them. Evidence like this will be useful. Dashing out of the firm with my head high, I wasn't about to sit around and let them enjoy themselves. I took a cab straight to the bank. I will make sure from this moment on, he was not going to lay a finger on my money. So I did the most logical thing, I froze all his cards, denying him access to any of my accounts. Blocking his money supply, I prepared divorce papers and mailed them to him. He was going to regret ever doing this to me. After setting my plan in motion, I reached home and slumped into our bed. Thoughts of us together on the bed made my skin crawl and I quickly shot out of bed. I saw traces of him everywhere, no way was this going to work, I had to get rid of anything concerning him. Including this house, staying here was not going to do. I yanked my suitcase onto the bed to retrieve my belongings but it won't open. It was sealed, it just dawned on me. The suitcase was not mine, looked like it but was not. I suddenly felt a sharp pain and I slowly rubbed my temple. Today was just so terrible. Inspecting it a bit more, I saw an identification name, which was smudged, the last bit was written "Kennedy" and a phone number. I quickly dialed it. There was probably a mix-up somehow and the tag was my only clue.
