Falling For The Man I Married
Chapter 48: The brave Madi
It's four in the afternoon and it's time for my boss -slash- husband, the third coffee of the day. But before I make him coffee, I need his signature first on some important documents which I also need to pass to Sandy for dismissal to its designated department.
I carried the documents and was about to knock on his office door when it instantly opened before my face and Gabriel's hasty gaze looked at me.
"Oops! I'm sorry, are you in a hurry, Sir?"
Do I really need to ask that--- when I already know the answer?
"Yes, someone called me---"
"Stacey called you, right, Sir?"
"Madi---"
"Oh, it's okay Sir. I just need your signatures for some documents here, can I?" I smiled like it wasn't a big deal to me and that I wasn't affected.
"Yeah, in my office." he opened the door and walked in again. He didn't bother to take a seat. He just took the files and signed each one of them.
"Are you not going to read the contents?"
-'Do you really can't wait to see and fuck your ex again? No... your girlfriend again?'- I asked him just in my mind.
But he just smiled and handed me all the papers.
"I don't need to. I know I can trust you, Madi."
I raised an eyebrow and tried to make a joke. "Really, what if it's a part of my way of earning a few million from your account?"
But instead of being alarmed... "It's okay. You can have as much as you want and don't worry, I can give you anything you want, Madi."
I laughed inside... -'Yeah, you can give me everything I want, except your heart.'-
And much to my surprise, he kissed me quickly on the lips.
"What the---" I uttered, but he's already exited the door. I gulped and laughed bitterly as I touched my lips.
We've been married for two weeks, but we barely see each other at his house. You can only count on your fingers the nights he sleeps in that huge but empty house. We're just seeing each other in the office, but after that, we can have our own precious time at night.
And with that, I'm really starting to think if he still needs me in his plan, because it's been two weeks that he hasn't mentioned it. And because it's once in a blue moon when he shows up at his house at night, he didn't notice the time I got home every night. There's one time, I didn't come home and slept in my old apartment, but he didn't notice it.
He continued his plan of chasing her and I continued to become invisible in his eyes. Every day, I need to smile and show him I'm fine and everything around me was just fine.
But every day, smiling feels like wearing a mask, a lonely mask that keeps my real feelings inside. But do I have a choice? I chose this, right? So feel free to endure the pain of my stupidity.

"Madi, are you ready?"
"Yeah, I'm just going to change my clothes at Gabriel's house."
It's Friday night and we'll be celebrating tonight in a night bar, along with her, Nancy, Greg and two of Greg's friend. And since Gabriel took an early out this afternoon, for sure he's enjoying the night between Stacey's legs too.
"Why do you keep calling it 'Gabriel's house'? Why don't you just call it 'our house?"
"Because it's not my house!"
"But you're married, that means it's marital property."
"Sandy, I don't have an interest with all the things and properties he has----''
"Yeah, because your only interest is to win his heart."
I didn't say anything, because it's true. And it just hurts me more to think that my love for him grows every day, but I can't do anything about it.
"You don't have to go home, Madi." I looked at her and she smiled. "I have a lot of dress, you know. You can borrow any of it."
"It's okay, you don't need to do that."
"But what if you find your husband at home?"
"And so?"
"What if he stopped you from going out tonight?"
"Oh, he can't do that! I didn't ask his whereabouts, so he has no right to question me!"
