My Secret Billionaire Husband

Chapter One

CHAPTER ONE

EMMA'S POV

Hadn't Ray told me that he had lots of work to do at the office?

What was he doing here with another woman?

I was going to confront him, but thought against that immediately

I wouldn't want to cause a scene in a five star restaurant, for all I know, it could be a business meeting

But what kind of a woman wears such an revealing dress to a meeting? She had her back against me, so I couldn't see her face

"Here ma'am, these are the foods you ordered, and here is your bill" the voice of the receptionist pulled me out of my thoughts

"Oh! Thank you" I replied, handing over my credit card to her

You might be wondering what's going on

Well, today is our third wedding anniversary, so I decided to buy Ray's favorite food from this restaurant

It was an italian dish, I am American, so I didn't know how it was being prepared

Earlier today, I called Ray to ask when he would be coming back home, he said he had lots of paperwork to do, therefore he wouldn't be early

I wasn't happy about it, as we had always spent our anniversary together

"Don't worry about cooking, just go to bed okay?" He said and hung up

"Maybe he was planning a surprise" I shrugged, that's how I ended up here also planning on giving him a surprise

On my way to my car, I spotted two people snuggling and kissing passionately

This is NYC, anything happens, and people don't care. I minded my business, and was about to go into my car, but something caught my attention

I threw my head back at them, and our eyes met

Ray and Marrissa

My sight became blurry, as tears freely rolled down my cheeks

I felt betrayed, Marissa was my best friend, how could she do such a thing to me

She made an advance towards me, but I was too hurt, I couldn't even stare at her face for too long

In the speed of light, I was gone

********

"And, where are you going in such a hurry?" Arms folded across my chest, mean glare, and standing in front of the door, I questioned

"I'm late for work Emma, I don't have the time for your nagging" he responded grumpily

"No, you're going nowhere Ray, you have to listen and explain yourself to me" I responded, fighting the tear that was threatening to fall out, it was taking all the self control in me not to punch him in the face, it pained me to the core, that when he came back home that night, he didn't show any sign of remorse

I wasn't sleeping, but pretended to be, he went around his night routine and laid down as though nothing happened

I wept silently, and fell asleep eventually, I had in mind, that the next morning I was going to confront him, but unfortunately he was gone by dawn

This happened for two consecutive days and I had enough

"By the way, who goes to work on Saturdays?" I continued, staring at him with disdain

Not until this day, I never knew how much of a fool Ray took me to be

"Work has been very demanding these days, and....." He was saying but I cut him off

"Oh yeah, what do you take me as? Some dumb ass woman, whom you could tell s**t that doesn't even make sense, and she'll believe it? A very....."

"Enough! That's enough Emma, get your body out of my way, and stop acting like you're the first woman, who got cheated on, by her husband and best friend" He yelled and tried to push me out of the way

"How dare you say such a thing..."

"I have work to do, and stop acting like a child, you're not exactly a saint you know?" He interrupted

"Now you're trying to manipulate me huh! Now you're trying to turn the tables around" I said already sobbing

"Get the f**k out of my way, I have work to d..." His statement couldn't be completed, my palm landed heavily on his cheeks

He looked at me with anger clearly written on his face. I can see the angry side of him rising, but I was not scared. He could not scare me.

“Did you just hit me?” he yelled, the veins on his neck tweaking.

I hit him again across his face again, if he was having a doubt at first, it should be confirmed now. I was planning to hit him yet again if not for the fact that he catches my hand mid-air and binds them behind my back, restricting me from moving.

I was still raging, I raised my left hand and hit him yet again and that’s the last of it that he could take. He turned around and grabbed my hand and hugged me as tight as he could without hurting me as he gritted his teeth to control his anger

"Let me go" I managed to say but he didn't respond, neither did he let go of his grip on me

I began to hit and kick with all the strength I had in me, I despised him so much, I couldn't stand him making contact with my body

When he didn't flinch from my hits, I bit hardly on his shoulder

"Oww! Emma!" He winced

"You see, you act all classless, you don't...."

"Oh! That's why you're going after Marissa? Because she is classy, and comes from a rich background?" I questioned and a fresh row of tears fell out when he nodded

Was it my fault that my parents weren't well to do? Is that the reason why he could treat me like trash

Is that the reason anyone could treat me like trash?

"If i remember clearly, you had no problem with me not working, you said it was fine" I Said, but got no response him

"You know what? I think it would be better if I left, you're ashamed of me, so what's the need of wasting my time with you. I Am LEAVING" I said, making sure to spell out the last words. Then left to the bedroom to gather my stuffs

I expected him to go after me, but to my dismay, he just stood there, staring at me with a flat expression

I was done crying over him, he was a piece of s**t and didn't worth my tears
