Chapter thirteen

After Esmeralda had told me it is not in her power to tell me about my husband"s past, I got reallyconcerned. What did he do? Why has Esmeralda refused to tell me?I have waited anxiously for him. Luckily he called yesterday. He"ll be coming back home today.My cooking lessons has been going on well. I can now do better than just baking. The experience hasbeen exciting.The door bell rings and I immediately open the door to meet my gorgeous husband tiredly walkingthrough it."Hey, welcome.""Hmmm."I frown at his response. Why just hmm? Did anything happen?"You must be tired. I"ll prepare you something," I nervously walk away. I don"t know why he"s looking at me this way but i hope he"s tired...just tired.***He has been sleeping for almost six hours. Then I see him turning on the bed. He slowly opens his eyes.Finally!!!! He"s awake. He moves into the bathroom to freshen up.Man, he smells nice. I inhale his perfect manly scent."We need to talk," he said with a serious tone."I guessed so," I also replied him."Let"s move to Mexico. I have almost all my work places; my companies there. I can"t work from hereany more. It"s tiresome. Imagine when I got there, I decided to check out on everything and there it was,everything has been arranged and done poorly. Without me, they can"t seem to do anything right.""We discussed this. I"m not moving to Mexico.""No, we didn"t. You arranged that with your agent. I accepted that because I didn"t know you were going to be my wife.""If I move, what about my work?""You can start over. We can link it to my companies, you"ll get more customers.""No, no, no, that isn"t happening. I"m not moving. I started that business at a very younger age withPaige. I can"t just throw it away because...""Probably Paige will be going there too. Do you think Zach will allow his wife to be somewhere else?There"s no way Zach will work from here. Paige will also have to let go. Both of you will just move youroffices to Mexico. You"ll work from there. See it as another branch you"ll be opening. People do openbranches when their business blossom. You won"t be any different. Paige will take care of this branch as you open a new one there. By the time Paige moves to Mexico too, you both will find someone to takecare of this branch."He"s talking sense though. But i don"t want to move, no. My life begun here."Besides, I want our children to grow up in Mexico."What?! That"s not fair.But instead of arguing, I just nod my head and walk away.***"Hey, can I ask you something?""Feel free. What do you want to know hun?""About your past. Did you do something really bad?" i asked him."It depends on what you want to hear. What triggered you to ask me this."Oh, so there are a lot dangerous things he did in the past."When I"m angry I"m a different person. So they make it seems.""And?" I urge him to say more."And I have been to jail before.""What?!""Just a day. Less than four hours. It was a fight and the police got involved. I was there with Zach."He laughed. Did he just laugh? No, wait!!!"You both went to jail and you laugh about it?""Yes, it"s actually funny. We didn"t go to jail. We were just detained.""But you went there.""However you want to put it." He sighs before continuing, "It was just that we were the uncontrollabletwin, let me put it that way. We were never double-crossed."What the?!!!""Were you both on drugs," I asked nervously."That would"ve been worse don"t you think? Oh no. We weren"t. That group was crazy. Zach and I had to beat them up for some reason. It saved the community though.""What are you talking about?""We"ll talk about it later. Right now, it is getting late and all I want to do is hold my wife while sleeping."
