Love In The Office

CHAPTER 1

Rentia pov

I stood still at the entrance of the hotel. My heart was racing as I followed my fiance Austin to this hotel, I'd suspected he had an affair all along but I needed some sort of proof. I was hoping and wishing it wasn't true but there's only one way for me to find out and come to terms with my reality.

Austin and I have been together for a year and a half, ever since I ran away after college.

My adopted father was a pervert, He always kept bringing in different girls when my adopted mom wasn't around. The first and last time I explained everything to my adopted mom, I was burnt with a curling iron on my thigh by my adopted mom for even accusing her husband of such an atrocity.

After college my adopted dad wanted to have his way with me so I used a vase to break his head and escaped in the night with only a few belongings. That's when I met Austin and he told me he would take care of me. He picked me off the streets and it has been just me and him since then.

I entered the hotel and walked over to the attendant at the reception.

“Ple…please can you tell me if a man named Austin Cobbey is-” With a shaky voice I tried to get the information I needed to catch his cheating ass but I was cut short by the nervous attendant.

“Sorry ma’am, I am not allowed to give such information out” She urged. I knew I had to do whatever it took to get the information.

“Please you are a woman, I need to know if my fiance is with another woman right now, I am pregnant” I blurted out.

I hadn't revealed the news to anyone yet, I kept it hidden as I wanted to share it with Austin at a private dinner date I had organized last week before I started suspecting him.

The attendant sighed before she gave me the room number. With a heavy heart, I dashed off and headed straight to the room.

Room C15, I stood by the door, I heard some moans and screams but I didn't want to believe it was Austin in there. After a minute I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

“Yeah, who is there?” I heard his masculine voice and tears streamed down my eyes and I gathered myself and lowly said

“Room service” I hoped he would open the door and let me in, I wanted this nightmare to end.

The door opened and it revealed his face.

I pushed the door and entered the room, I saw the girl under the covers and it was Jessica, His ex-girlfriend he told me not to worry about and that he didn't love.

“Austin, why?” Those were the only words that could come out of my mouth.

“Rentia, It is not what it looks like” I can't believe he was lying straight into my face.

“It looks like you buried your c**k right into this w***e” I shouted.

“Oh shut up, you couldn't satisfy him so I helped out, you are welcome,” Jessica said with a sinister smile on her face.

“Rentia, I never stopped loving her” Those words that left Austin’s mouth were worse than sharp daggers

I staggered and fell on the couch.

“You bastard! ” I screamed and rushed to where he stood and grabbed his robe

“We have been seeing each other for months now” I thought I couldn't feel worse than I already did, I was wrong.

“I gave you my body, my world, You were my first!” I kept screaming till I felt cold masculine hands pressing down my neck, Austin held my neck tight and pushed me to the wall.

“Be quiet, Stop your blabbering” Austin bellowed.

“Le..let go!” I yelled

“Let her be honey boo,” Jessica said and I felt the grip loosen on my neck.

“Move out of the apartment, I never want to see your face again” Austin declared. I got on my knees and pleaded

“Please don't leave me, please I'm with child” I begged and continued weeping till he held the back of my head and picked me up from the floor before throwing me out of the door.

“Don't be there when I go back home” Austin said before he shut the door on my face.

“Please Austin, You can't do this to me please” I slowly cried and made my way to the entrance of the hotel and cried, I stayed there for over an hour before I got a cab to take me back home.

I went there solely to get my things and never see this man again, I was met with haunting memories. Every corner held a lovely memory.

Austin was the provider. He always told me he didn't want me to work or do anything because I was made to be submissive to him and I never argued because he always got me whatever I wanted and it wasn't like I ever asked for much.

If I was alone it would have been easier to get through this. What do I do now? I doubt telling him about my pregnancy will change anything.

What did I do to make him hate me this much? It wasn't always rosy but we got through difficult times together.

I always do what he tells me to do. I never for once doubted his love for me.

As I held my luggage, I was about to step out when I heard Austin’s car in the driveway before he parked at the garage.

He opened the door and he was with Jessica and I saw her bags and box.

“I thought I said I didn't want to meet you here,” Austin said angrily

“Why are you doing this to me?” I mumbled

“Stop asking me stupid questions and leave” Austin replied

“You heard my man, leave!” Jessica said while removing her shoes in the sitting room, Something Austin hated to see.

“Do you need anything, baby?” Austin asked Jessica as she was on her phone.

“Yes, order food and I need a leg massage,” Jessica said, They both completely ignored my existence. It was like I wasn't standing there and they didn't just completely ruin my life.

“Austin, Please I do not have anywhere else to go” He already knew this, I had been staying with him for years.

“Not my problem, Go and seduce someone else like how you seduced me” It was like Austin was under a spell because he paid no attention to my feelings and he kept hurting me purposely. I felt like I was the one that cheated.

“Please just listen to me” I begged, He walked over to Jessica and he bent down and helped her massage her feet. Austin never did any of this for me.

One time I sprained my ankle and I was told to constantly massage my foot. I politely asked Austin to help me and he got so upset that I asked him to touch my feet and he didn't speak to me for the whole day. But here he was massaging her feet and also being happy about it.

I decided to tell him about my pregnancy. Hopefully, it will change his mind.

“Austin I am-” I was interrupted by Jessica’s mean voice

“Get her out of here” She instructed and I lost my temper and yelled.

“Shut up!” I snapped.

Austin left her foot, walked to where I was, and threw me across the wall. I hit my head so hard on the wall that I felt blood rushing down my forehead.
