Bella's POV
.
I'm surprised Frank would go the length to surprise me which I didn't expect, he did love me to go that length.
I felt guilty for lying to him about Dave but I also can't tell him cause I don't know how he will reacted.
Frank has really been trying and I wouldn't deny it and he's being very sweet, why did Dave have to show up again.
Whenever I'm around Dave I'm always weak to fight myself, he makes me vulnerable and I can't fight it whenever I'm with him.
I have to find a way to break myself away from Dave or else my marriage with Frank will be sabotaged.
I ate the delicious food and found him staring at me from the corner of my eyes and I smiled.
" How did it taste?" He asked.
" It's delectable" I replied and he smiled.
" I'm glad you're enjoying it, I didn't cook it if that's what you're thinking" he said smiling and I smiled back.
" Oh I know" I replied.
" You know?.....you mean I can't actually prepare any of this?" He said enthusiastically.
" I didn't say that" I replied smiling.
" Don't worry, I will show you some of my special talent very soon" he said.
" I'll be looking forward to it" I replied.
We continue eating till we are both filled he insisted of clearing up that and I should head to the room to rest.
I've always been hoping that one day someone will love me the way in supposed to be loved without even fighting for it.
Frank is the man and He's just too good and I can't ask for any other perfect husband.

{Few Days Later}
.
For the past few days Frank and I have been living as an actual couple and I'm starting to like out time together.
I think I'm ready to give myself to him completely cause he truly deserved it. Dave on the other hand have been trying to get to me.
He's been calling from time to time asking for us to go out to lunch or dinner, sometimes he came to my office we well.
I tried to let him know it won't be possible but he just keeps coming and being persistent.
I told him several times that nothing can ever work out between us again cause I can't leave my husband.
I was in my office then Stella entered and informed me of a guest.
" Who?" I asked.
" Mr Edwards" she said and I sighed.
' ugh....not again'
" Let him in" I replied.
" Okay ma'am" she replied with a weird expression.
" Wait Stella" I said and she stopped.
" Ma'am"
" What's with the strange reaction?" I asked.
" Nothing ma'am, it's nothing" she replied.
" That's bullshit, spill it out now Stella" I requested.
" I'm sorry ma'am, I know it's not my place to say this but it's just that...uhm...I..."
" Say it Stella" I said curiously.
" Ma'am, it's because this Mr Edwards have been visiting frequently and I noticed it's not cause of business and..."
" and you want to know if I'm having a relationship with him" I completed interrupting her.
" No ma'am, I just...uh.. it's because...I "
" It's okay Stella, I understand but since you really want to know, there's nothing going on between us. okay" I said.
" Yes ma'am..m I'm sorry" she said.
" And make sure there aren't any gossips anywhere, I don't want a fake news reaching my husband" I said.
" Yes ma'am" she replied.
" You can leave" I said then she went out.
I think it's time I settled things with Dave before it causes more trouble.
The door to my office opened and he entered looking dashing as always.
" Where's that gorgeous lady?' he asked we he entered.
" Hi, Dave" I said.
" Hey, wassup" he said then sat in front of me.
" I'm fine" I replied.
" I was thinking for us go out tonight, so how about a dinner together" he said.
" Dave, you should know I'm a married woman. I'm not allowed to do that behind my husband" I said.
" Oh c'mon Bella, he doesn't have to know about that. it will be between us" he said.
" Dave, please for both of our sake. we can't keep doing this" I said.
" Fine I get it, what about the last dinner together before going back to Italy" he said.
" You're going back?" I asked.
" Yeah, there's nothing holding me back anymore, I thought I could change your mind but it seems it's all made up" he said.
" Alright, one last dinner together before we part ways" I said and he smiled.
" you're really a magnificent woman Bella, you really are" he said.
" See you in the evening Dave" I said.
" I'll text you the address" he said standing up to leave.
" I'll see you in the evening" I said then he went out.
Few minutes later my phone started ringing, I checked the caller and smiled as it turned out to be my husband.
" Hey dear" he said.
" Hi" i replied.
" How's work?" He asked.
" It's fine. everything is going well" I replied.
" I was thinking of taking you out for dinner" he said.
' oops, what should I do?'
" Dinner?. ugh, I can't" I replied.
" Oh...busy?" He asked.
" Yeah, I am" I replied.
" It's okay then I guess I'll see you at home, take care of yourself" he said.
" Yeah, I have a surprise for you" I said and I heard him chuckled.
" A surprise?, that's new, what is it?" He asked.
" I'll tell you when we get home" he said.
" C'mon, just tell me now' he said.
" Let's get home, then I'll tell you" I said.
" Alright then, I can't wait to get" he said and I chuckled.
" Okay then bye" I said then ended the call.
Today is the day I decided to give myself to him completely and I'm kinda nervous but I'm sure I'll get past it.

{Evening}
.
Dave and I are at the restaurant and we started talking and discussing about some things till he changed the topic to our previous relationship.
" You need to accept this Dave, so you can move on just like I did" I said.
" I know, it just hurt that I didn't come earlier" he said.
" I'm happy we meet again Dave and I hope when next we meet, you would've found your hearthrobe" I said.
" I hope so too" he said.
" If you don't mind Dave, it's getting late and my husband will be expecting me " I said standing up.
" Alright then, thanks for agreeing to come here" he said then we hugged.
" You're welcome" I replied then he kissed my cheek tenderly.
" I wish you safe trip back to Italy" I said.
" Thanks" he replied and I turned only to get the shock of my life.
I saw my husband with a lady beside him staring at us as we hugged then I quickly release myself from Dave.
' oh no, Frank'
