He stared at the phone, letting it ring without bothering to pick it up.He couldn't pick it up now when his wife was beside him. He had to find a chance to get alone.And by the time the the call ended, he glanced in the direction of Catherine to see her staring at him weirdly.The phone rings again and without even staring at the screen, he silenced the phone before switching it off. "What's stopping you from picking your call?" Catherine asks from beside him. "It's not important," he says, trying as much as possible to keep his focus on the road ahead. Fortunately, she doesn't say anything else and neither did she bring up the matter of what happened in his office. The ride all through was a silent one and he couldn't be more than grateful for the temporal peace, knowing how complicated he still found himself. Not too long after, they arrived at their destination. Except it wasn't their home. "What are we doing here?" Catherine had to ask upon sighting that they were packed i

The instant they arrived home, Catherine didn't wait before heading in first. Derek could only watch, knowing she was still unhappy with him.He followed her from behind until he got inside their apartment. Once he saw that she was attempting to ascend the stairs, he decided to speak."You never told me how the party went…"Slowly, Catherine turned around to look at him. "What party?" she asks."Your company's?"At first, she passes him a suspicious look as if trying to gauge the reason for his question. But she switches after being unable to gauge anything from his reaction."Didn't we talk about it already?""Not everything," Derek said in return, hoping she wouldn't see through the fact that they never even discussed anything related to a party in the first place."We did have a party. And it was okay, I guess?""What type of party was it?"She shrugs. "The kind that a company hosts. There were a whole lot of businessmen in it and I couldn't even keep up with the whole thing."It w

The next day, Derek arrived at work early. He hadn't even settled in fully when Gina came into the office with his assistant. At first, he thought she was going to vent on him after yesterday's occurrence but insteead but what she says tells him otherwise. "I would like to be part of the project group," Gina announces to Derek. "Me too, sir," Derek's assistant chips in as well. Derek looks from Gina to his assistant almost at once with the hope of understanding the reason toward their sudden interest in the project assigned to him and his unit. "Why are you both interested in it?" he had to ask. "You both realize it's a marketing deal that could increase our company's potential in the global market?" "After discussing, we both see it as an avenue to contribute immensely toward the growth of the company. What other way than helping to secure the biggest marketing deal?" Gina responds to his query. "Are you sure you both are down for the stress that comes with it?" "A hundred per

The video fit the description of what Marcus had given him about the scene he saw at the hotel.Right in the video was a tall man with a great physique and not like those chubby rich men that Derek thought he would find in the video. And in the video, the man was with a woman who in no doubt was his wife.Derek recognized the man. He was a manager in the company Catherine worked and he has seen him different times during conferences that he attended with his wife.The woman in the video, although with a pair of sunglasses, had the stature of Catherine. Her face wasn't showing very much due to the angle of the camera but it was enough for Derek to make out his wife from it.From the video, Derek could see both his wife and the manager heading into a room and this riled him up.He could feel himself losing control. He was furious and right now, he wished he could see the manager and kill him with his bare hands."This won't help me," he said to himself after regarding how much evil thou

"What is it?" Derek asked with a reluctant voice. He knew his day was about to be worse than it was already but he wasn't ready for it."Every day at noon, she leaves the office to go to God knows where. And she spends about roughly two hours out. Each time I ask her, she says she's heading out for an important briefing," Nadia explains."Important briefing? How long has this been going on?""For about a year now, I guess. It's been way long now."He had never heard Catherine mention anything about an important briefing in the afternoon. And knowing it has been going on for a year now made it more suspicious.Due to the limited workload in his job, he spends some time at home whenever he wants to and he has never seen Catherine home in the noons during those times.This meant something. And that means it was something else he had to add to his list of suspicious activities from his wife.He had a way he could get an hint about her afternoon activities and all he had to do was get home

It took a while before Derek decided that it was time he called the strange line that reached out to him.He was skeptical even as the phone rang in his ear and the first thing he heard when it was picked from the other end was the voice of a woman."Hello," the voice called out to him.In a calm voice, Derek responded, "It's you, isn't it? The one who's been sending me all those texts?""Yes," said the voice."In your last text, you called 'him' your husband. Who exactly is your husband?""Your wife works at Jackson and Sons Consortium, doesn't she?"That was a question to his question but he answered nevertheless: "She does.""And her senior manager is Richard Langston, right?""Correct.""Well, I'm Edna Langston, Richard Langston's wife. And like I told you in the text, I know about your wife's dirty business with my husband."That information as a whole made Derek believe that he was getting somewhere with the whole clarification about the caller's identity.Even with all that, he

"From the look of things, my husband started by spoiling your wife with expensive gift items.He spent a lot on her so much that he even started neglecting the family business.Yes, aside from being a senior manager at Jackson and Sons Consortium, Richard also handles a business with me. It's a business he inherited from his parents.But it has been all my doing ever since he started his infidelity with your wife."The woman said all of that to Derek in a manner that for a while, he forgot about also being in the middle of the whole thing."You want to know why no one has heard about my husband's escapades? It's because I've been doing a good job in pretending that everything's fine for such a long time that I'm already tired of pretending.""What do you suggest we do?" Derek decided to ask, making the woman reveal an expression leaning toward hope.She sits still for a while before speaking, "Unlike you, I'm already certain about their relationship together. But Richard doesn't know

Baby?Derek was sure he heard that right. His wife just called someone 'baby' over the phone. Or could it be that there was someone in there with her?The only problem was that he couldn't hear the voice of anyone else. But there was only one way to find out.Instantly, he pushed the door open and right in the room backing him was Catherine sitted on the bed with a phone to her ear.He looked around to see that she was alone in there and it was indeed a phone conversation he heard some seconds ago.In a panic mode, Catherine seemed to take the phone off her and then stands up to face him.He could read through her expression to tell that she was uneasy. Guess she didn't expect him in the room so suddenly.She quickly walked over to him, pulling him into a light hug."Welcome back, sweetheart," she said as she planted a kiss on his lips.Derek didn't feel any bit of tension like he normally does whenever she kissed him in the past. Instead he wanted to push her far away from himself bu
