My Husband Hates Me

Rebound Guy

“What else did she disclose to you?” I moved nearer to Marcos. I was worried that Katie might have revealed a lot in my absence.

“Alright?” he edged, moved and disregarded me like a nightmare.

I felt so silly in front of him.

My level of maturity dimmed immediately.

“You know what?

Let's disregard it and get back to the deal,” I told him and digressed the gist.

I was becoming too close to him. It was apparent. Even the blind could observe that.

“You're scaring me out right now. Did I do something bad?” he asked me. He was beginning to feel sad.

“No, you did nothing.

Why would you utter something like that?” I asked, forcing a smile.

I act like I'm okay, but deep down, I was yearning to discover what was said in my absence.

“Do you want me to go? Is this the wrong time to be here?” he stood up, trying to exit. He had a feeling that I wasn't pleased with his coming.

“No, please don't go.” I hurriedly touched his hands to prevent him from exiting.

Accidentally, we shared telling looks. I could feel my heart bonding to him.

A part of my body was crying for his affection. I had to control myself. I told my sensual organs that it was meant to be a deal talk and nothing else.

“Sorry about that,” I took my hands away from him.

I feel so crazy around him. I could barely even focus for a bit.

“You are so wonderful,” he said to me, gazing directly into my eyes. I suddenly felt a shiver inside of me.

“I see!” I cleared my throat and narrowed my hands across his face, reminding him that I have a husband.

“Oh, I get the point.

Where's him?” He asked me.

“Who are you referring to?” I was lost. I didn't understand who he was referring to.

“The man you married.

He ought to be here with you. You need to heal faster, and I figure his presence would hasten your recovery,” he suggested.

What a gesture! We weren't dating, yet he was concerned about me. I can't vouch for Sebastian. I wish Sebastian was present to understand what it requires to be a real man.

“He is out on a business meeting. He already reached out to ask about my situation,” I lied.

It was the only thing I could have done. There's no way I was going to tell him that Sebastian left me at the hospital to be with his mistress.

“That's so kind of him. He must adore you a lot,” he asked. He won't stop asking about Sebastian, who I was trying not to remember.

“Can we quit speaking about him? I bet he isn't the reason you came,” I urged him.

“Sorry about that,” he begged like a perfect gentleman. He possesses all qualities I ever desired in a man.

It's sorrowful that I had to settle for Sebastian when there are other men like Marcos who would do anything to be with me.

If it wasn't for my integrity, I wouldn't mind falling for him just to get revenge at Sebastian for disgracing me.

As we were about to continue with the meeting, I got a call from Sebastian.

“Oh, dear,” I muttered in disappointment.

“Sorry, can I please go take this call? It's my husband calling,” I seek his permission.

The call was precisely what I wanted to fuel my lost courage. I was already getting affected by Marcos charming looks.

Walking to the room to answer the phone, I bumped into Katie. I saw her just as she was about to flee.

“Were you paying attention to our discourse?” I asked Katie and folded my arms, awaiting her reply.

“Yes, ma'am.” She answered.

I received the call from Sebastian.

I would rather talk to Katie.

She was the break I needed.

I am most likely to be angered by Sebastian.

“What do you think about him?” Katie asked me.

“What you're saying,” I flinched. I just didn't want to confess that I was tripping for him.

“Well, I think he's wonderful,” I finally replied and smiled.

I see myself acting like a kid in love. I haven't felt this way for Sebastian before.

I can't remember the last time Sebastian made me happy. I was so used to him treating me like a nobody.

“Not happening!

You're falling for him, don't you?” Katie voiced out.

Her voice was so thick that I had to seal her lips. “Don't scream. He might hear your voice,”

“I don't like him.

I am not even certain,” I said in the utmost bewilderment. I wasn't sure of my decision any more.

My soul is burning to be under the tutelage of Marcos. The only hindrance block was Sebastian. I haven't been snitching on him before.

“I get this is about your husband, I assume?” Katie guessed.

“Katie,” I sighed.

“ I have to leave now.

I would rather not keep him waiting,” I told Katie. I forgot that Marcos was still waiting for me in the living room.

“So sorry about that. He misses me so much,” I lied to Marcos just to sustain Sebastian pride. He wouldn't do the same for me if he was in my position.

“It's alright.

It's good to realize that you have a man who adores you.

I would be upset if he doesn't,” Marcos said. I depict an atom of jealousy in his voice. He wished I were married to him and not Sebastian.

“Let's talk to your uncle?

What did he tell you about the deal?” I quickly diverted.

I don't love talking about Sebastian, especially in the presence of my ideal man.

“You're accurate.

He finally consented.

The paperwork will be forwarded to your mailbox,” he announced with a sad face. He was still engrossed with me.

Out of happiness, I embrace him so firmly.

“I will need to take my leave now,” he stood up.

“It's great seeing you,” he pecked my hands romantically, which made me crave more.

“I hope to see you some other time?” I asked him.

I crave to have another meeting with Adrian. I was desperate to witness another version of him.

“I can't be certain.

I'll be travelling back to Los Angeles in a couple of days.

I control the family's assets over there. But don't be bothered, we will see some other time,” he assured me with a pat on my shoulder.

I wasn't happy that I wouldn't be able to meet him anytime I desire. Nonetheless, I was elated that he came.

The few hours I was with him were more preferable than the years I've been married to Sebastian. If I get the chance to swap people, I won't waste time doing that.
