โ€œWow, lovebirds! How are you?โ€ Samuelโ€™s unexpectedly warm greeting welcomed William and Paula as they arrived at the gym. Samuelโ€™s rock-hard body was glistening with the heavy sweat.

โ€œOh, Sam! What a coincidence! Are you done, bro?โ€ William replied warmly. He tried to forget Samuelโ€™s behavior a few weeks ago because the matter was well resolved, thanks to Paula.

Unfortunately, Paula didnโ€™t. He felt intimidated by Samuelโ€™s presence at this time. Not because she felt suffocated around Samuel, but because all her ideas and suggestions about her loveless relationship with William had failed. Miserably.

โ€œOoops!โ€ Samuelโ€™s lips pursed when he accidentally saw the red hickey on Paulaโ€™s neck and nape peeking out from the towel. โ€œI see nothing!โ€ Samuel corrected when he saw the same red marks under Williamโ€™s half-covered T-shirt.

Paula and William were stunned. William looked Paula in the eye and saw the unusual restlessness there.

โ€œItโ€™s not like what you see,โ€ Paula defended.

โ€œYes, it doesnโ€™t look like you were making out,โ€ Samuel smirked.

.....

โ€œWhat do you mean, Sam?โ€ William asked.

โ€œI meant ...,โ€ Samuel laughed mockingly. โ€œIt was clear, bro! I donโ€™t like your way!โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s none of your business, Sam! You are my cousin, not my sibling,โ€ William replied, annoyed.

Samuel burst out laughing. He then took his bag from his locker and walked away whispering in Paulaโ€™s ear, โ€œBe careful not to get pregnant, dear!โ€ Samuel glanced at William one more time, then headed off towards the dressing room without saying anything.

Paula couldnโ€™t help staring at Samuel sharply. She hated having to admit that Samuelโ€™s hunch could be right. In her heart, she prayed that she wasnโ€™t getting pregnant for real.

Unfortunately, Paulaโ€™s wish remained hopeless because a few days later, the urine test result showed two red lines. She also confirmed it with the gynecologist to get confirmation. Unfortunately, the results were disappointing.

โ€œCongratulations! You are four weeks pregnant.โ€

Paula swallowed hard at the sight. The ultrasound screen showed that there was a new life growing in her womb.

That was supposed to be happy news for any mother in the world. However, the abnormal conditions made Paula unable to feel happiness. Her tears were slowly falling. Of course, the doctor thought it was tears of joy.

โ€œYou must be very happy!โ€ The doctor said with a big smile plastered on her face.

Paula just nodded and forced a smile. Her hands were still shaking holding the sonogram pictures of her future baby as she walked out of the clinic. The woman immediately entered the car and cried heavily inside.

โ€œOh, God! Why do you have to punish me this way?โ€ she lamented as pounded on the steering wheel.

Maybe she shouldnโ€™t be in this relationship with a man who loved another woman. Maybe she should have left William from the beginning.

Now, it was too late. She couldnโ€™t possibly tell William what had happened. This would only make it difficult for him.

After all, Paula had promised William not to get pregnant. If she came to William and told him that she was carrying his baby, what would he say? He would say something like trapping him in this loveless marriage by deliberately getting pregnant.

Anxiously, Paula drove the car and headed back to the office. She had to think about this carefully. Not only for herself and William but also for the baby.

Meanwhile, at the office, William was worried about Lea who seemed to be avoiding him. He finally decided to meet Lea in the office during working hours under the pretext of business matters. Because he was an important person, he asked Lea and her boss to handle this. He wanted to meet Lea in person no matter what.

โ€œDave Richards is here,โ€ Danica informed William of the arrival of Lea and her superiors. โ€œAnd her secretary, of course.โ€

โ€œLet them in!โ€ William ordered.

Of course, the clueless Dave only came with purely business motivations. However, not so with Lea. Her face was stiff like she was about to pounce on a face.

โ€œLea, what are you doing?โ€ Dave whispered to his secretary. โ€œIf you have a problem, can you forget it for a while so you can smile a little this time?โ€

Lea immediately fixed her expression. But of course, it still looks unnatural.

The three of them then professionally discussed work. There seemed to be no problem. Everything went smoothly before Dave finally went to the toilet.

William then wasted no time and took the opportunity to interrogate Lea. โ€œLea, youโ€™ve been avoiding me for a month!โ€

โ€œOh, yeah? Iโ€™m busy,โ€ Lea replied curtly, looking at the draft in her hand. โ€œI told you, didnโ€™t I?โ€

โ€œLea-โ€

โ€œWilliam! I thought you were a married man. Donโ€™t bother me anymore, please!โ€ Lea said, very curtly. William didnโ€™t feel like he knew Lea at all. She didnโ€™t use to be like this.

โ€œLea, I already explained to you. Paula and I didnโ€™t-โ€

โ€œOh? I dare you to swear in the name of God if you donโ€™t do anything with her?โ€ challenged Lea wide-eyed, bringing her face closer to Williamโ€™s. โ€œThen who were the ones making love shamelessly in your car a month ago in the parking lot of the Star Hotel William?โ€

โ€œ....โ€

Now, William was frozen. He didnโ€™t remember the date. However, he remembered that he did it with Paula in the car when they got carried away.

โ€œBeing married is fun, huh? You can make love with your wife, satisfying your needs every day,โ€ said Lea curtly. However, this time her face was red. Her eyes were teary.

โ€œLea ...,โ€ William groaned. He felt very guilty for having been caught hiding this important matter from his lover. But, was it even matter? It was too late to feel guilty.

โ€œCome on, William! Sheโ€™s your wife. You didnโ€™t do anything wrong by fucking her. Your only fault is ...,โ€ Lea paused for a moment. It was so bitter. The sentence she was about to say was so painful, making her heart clench. โ€œ... because you are still thinking that we are together.โ€

โ€œLea, I never share my love. Itโ€™s only for you!โ€

โ€œYou dare to say love to me while fucking another girl?โ€ Lea screamed. โ€œOh, she is your wife, I forgot.โ€

โ€œLea ... Paula and I donโ€™t involve feelings-โ€

Leah shook her head. To her, all Williamโ€™s words were in vain. It was too late. Itโ€™s meaningless.

โ€œWilliam, you know? The night I saw the solid evidence of your lies, I chose to one-sidedly break our relationship,โ€ Lea whispered. A painful expression crossed her face. Tears flooded from the corner of her eyes. โ€œThat night, I slept with another man, William. Iโ€™m not the Lea I used to be. I am not your Lea anymore.โ€

William was left dumbfounded as if his body was being struck by lightning. Jealousy hit his heart. It was not easy to accept something like that. It was like a betrayal.

Unable to think straight, William no longer knew what was right and what was wrong. He was so caught up in his messy feelings that he didnโ€™t know what to do anymore. Unknowingly, his feet stomped out of s office, leaving Lea alone. He didnโ€™t even know where his feet would take him. He just wanted to get away from all the harsh reality that befell him.
