Chapter 32
Emily Thompson
“What is she doing here?!” I bursted angrily getting up from my seat immediately. I had forgotten about the fact that Bryan was massaging my leg before she barged in o
on us.
We’re still on this when Janet also walks in with a confused look on her face but I really don’t care about that for now. What’s more important and disturbing is this woman standing right in front of me.
“What are you doing here?” I questioned again, glaring at her.
By now, I had expected Bryan to yell at her and ask her out of his office but he kept his cool. He didn’t look angry or bothered about her presence despite warning her days ago not to show her face ever again to him.
What the hell is going on here? Why do I feel weird about this?
Bryan won’t betray me, right?
“I’m sure you’re not deaf and dumb right? And I’m not going to ask you this again. What the hell is your cheating ass doing here?!“I asked again.
She didn’t reply to me instead, she passed me a wicked smirk and moved forward then, she turned to face my husband. “Bryan, can we talk? It’s very important and more reason why I’m here” She said in a very calm tone which I’m not cool about it.
It’s making me boil in anger more from within.
“I just asked you a question! What the hell are you doing in my husband’s office?! Who the hell let you in?! How come none of the security men stopped you from coming in? Why didn’t they throw you out like the piece of trash that you are?!” I burst again, glaring hard at
her.
“Babe please, calm-”
“Don’t tell me to calm down, Bryan! She needs to tell me who let her in.” I said, cutting him off from his words. “Besides, I thought you canceled the deal involving her so, why is she here?” I asked confusedly as I turned to face Bryan.
“Wait, what?” She said letting out a wicked laugh. “Cancel what deal? Didn’t your husband tell you he already signed the contract? We now work together as partners and nothing is ever going to change that. Not even you dear wife‘ She mocked and at the same time, Bryan tried to caution her from speaking.
Catherine He called out her name.
Tears immediately welled up in my eyes as I turned to look at Bryan but he wouldn’t look me

in the eyes. He looks guilty already. I can’t believe he can do this to me.
Despite telling me countless that I mean the world to him yet, he dared do this to
o me.
Without saying a word to him. I went back to put on my shoes and picked up my bag. Ready to leave his office, I suddenly felt him back hug me, stopping me from leaving.” Babe please, it’s not what you think. Just wait and listen to my explanation” He said sounding desperate.
I could feel the sound of his heartbeat as he hugged me.
Before I could speak, Catherine said. “Bryan, like I said earlier, what brought me here is very intportant. Can we set all this family problem aside and talk about what brought me here?”
Wow! So, I’m now a joke between them.
“I’m F***ing talking with my wife!” He yelled at her. “You know what… Just go. We will talk about this some other time” He said to her.
But 1-
” I SAID, LEAVE!!! He cut her off, yelling and making her jolt in fear. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was hugging me tightly right now, I would have been in the same show as this slut with the way he just shouted.
Glaring at me one last time before walking out of his office, Janet excused herself also. “I came here to get the file you asked to deliver to my dad but as it’s now, I will have to come back some other time” She said and walked out too.T
Immediately she’s out, the threatening tears I’ve been trying so hard to hold in all this while begin to flow out of my eyes and down my cheeks.
Bryan hurriedly ran to the door and locked it from inside.
He began to take a step closer to me while I took one backward. “Don’t! Don’t you dare come closer to me” I warned him with tears still in my eyes but he didn’t listen.
My back ends up k*ssing the wall and right there, I know there’s no escape route for me anymore. He suddenly held my right hand and pulled me closer to his embrace as he hugged me tightly.
I tried to push him away from me but he wouldn’t let go of me plus, he’s stronger than me. Tm sorry, I’m truly sorry babe for keeping this away from you. I really do not want you to be bothered about it. I do not not want to hurt you and more reason why I didn’t tell you. I’m sorry, I’m deeply sorry for hiding this from you” he said still hugging me tightly.
This explanation from him just made me boil more in anger. I used all the power in me and pushed him away from me. “Did you even listen to yourself? You don’t want to hurt me?! Well, Bash news Bryan, you just hurt me really had with this that I just witnessed! How could you, Bryan? How could you do this to me?! You hid the fact that you’re now seeing your
girlfriend from me?! Then, why did you marry me?! You shouldn’t have married me?! You should have married her instead since you love her that much and couldn’t let her go!”
“EMILY!” He suddenly yelled, his eyes glinting with anger and disappointment.
A light sigh escaped my l*p following a dry laugh. “Wow! You just called me by my name. It’s been long I heard you call me that and by this, you just prove to me that I mean nothing to you. You know what? Why don’t we just get divorce?”
“What?!!!
“Yes. Let’s get it done once and for all so you can be with the woman of your dream ” I said looking deep into his eyes.
I can tell from the look on his face that he doesn’t like where this is going at all. He looks disappointed and hurt too.
But why? He should be happy right? I’m giving him a chance to be with the woman of his dream. The same woman he couldn’t do without.
This is the reason why I can’t sum up the courage to tell him about Aaron up to date. Despite. him telling me countless times that he loves me but deep down, I feel like all this love he claimed he has for me would end someday and, it’s already happening.
“Please babe, I know whatever I say now will never make you change your mind considering how I handled the situation but please, you have to believe me… Nothing is going on between Catherine and I. Catherine is-”
“STOP! JUST STOP MENTIONING HER NAME AROUND ME!!!!” I yelled angrily.
“Okay, okay, fine. I won’t. I won’t mention her name again. She means nothing to me. She was there but I came for you, right? I choose you instead and that’s because I love you. I love you so much that I had no idea I would end up like this. I never imagined seeing myself begging a woman this much for love until I met you, Emily. I’m sorry. I know I hurt you badly already but if you give me the chance to explain everything to you… I will gladly do that please He begged, locking gaze with me.
I hate myself. I really hate myself for loving him this much. I hate myself for getting this weak whenever it comes to him. I don’t even think I will be able to live without this man in my life. How in the world did I become this much attached to him?
Looking at his handsome face for a few seconds, I found myself jumping on him and hugging him tightly.
