Frank's POV
{Few Hours Earlier}
.
After ending the call with my wife I thought about the surprise she was talking about but I couldn't point it out.
I have a feeling she might be talking about sex,come to think of it this is the first time she has a surprise for me so I think today is the day.
I couldn't stop myself from grinning to the thought of that, I'm so happy that things are actually going as I wanted.
After she returned from the resort that she went, she has been returning my affections even if I kissed her she reciprocated.
A knock on the door jolts me back from my reverie and my secretary entered.
" Oh Fred, great, I'll be leaving work early today" I said.
" Actually Sir, I came to inform you that Mr Felix reported sick this morning" he said.
" O-okayy...so?"
" He was supposed to meet with Miss Rand of Rand corporation this evening concerning a business proposal" he said.
" Oh, so else can take on the meeting?" I asked.
" This is one big contract Sir, I'll suggest you be the one to take on it" he said.
" Wow Fred, sounds like you are giving me an order" I said and he smiled.
" I'm sorry Sir, I didn't mean it like that" he said.
" It's okay. just send me the details" I said.
" Alright Sir" he said then left.
.
In the evening I went to the restaurant that the meeting will take place and waited for Miss Rand.
It didn't take long then she entered and the waiter lead her to my table, the look on her face says she was surprised to see me.
" Mr Nelson?" She said as she sat down.
" Evening Miss Rand" I said calmly.
" I didn't know I'll be meeting with you, so sorry for keeping you waiting" she said.
" Oh please, I just got here myself" I replied and she smiled.
" Great" she replied then the waiters came to fill out glass with wine.
We ate, discussed and spent a little time discussing about the contract and after a while we cut a deal and seal the contract.
" It's so nice meeting you Mr Nelson" she said ready to leave.
" Same here Miss Rand" I replied standing along with her.
I waved at the waiter and he brought the bills which I settled immediately.
" I'll walk you to your car" I said.
" Okay" she replied then we left.
As we were about to head out my eyes caught something or should I say someone familiar.
I stopped to have a clearer look at the figure, there's no way I can misidentify that shape cause it's what I see everyday.
It was when the guy hugged and kissed her then I see her face, the fierce anger coursing through my vein is unaccountable.
I'm very sure it's not jealousy but anger, pure anger. I'm not angry because she's with a man, I'm angry because she lied to me.
Why did she have to lie? is it a crime to Love someone so much?. Despite all I tried to make her love me.
She turned and got shocked when she saw me staring at her angrily and she quickly disentangle with the man.
And by the way who the hell is he?
Why did he have to come between my wife and i?
What's their relationship together?
Is she cheating on me with him?
" Is everything okay, Mr Nelson?" Miss Rand asked as she noticed that I stopped following her.
" Yeah, let's go" I replied then escorted her to her car and she entered.
" Thanks for the night" she said as she ignited her car.
" You're welcome, have a nice evening" I replied then she drove off.
I wanted to go back and challenged Bella for what I just saw but I decided to go home instead.
I went to my car and entered then I ignited the engine and drove off.
Bella's POV
.
Bella tried to go after him but he saw his car drove out of the restaurant.
" Is that..."
" My husband? Yes, and I think he's mad" I replied completing his statement.
" Oh crap, I'm so sorry for this Bella" he said.
" I wondered what's running through his mind" I replied.
" Oh oh, will you be okay?" Dave asked.
" I'll be fine" I replied.
" If you want me to come and explain myself I'll do it" he said.
" No I don't think that's a good idea, he might even get more angry if he sees you at the house" I said.
" But are you certain you'll be fine?" He asked.
" Yeah don't worry about it, I'll handle it" I said then I walked to my car.
" Thanks for coming out tonight Bella " he said.
" You're welcome. Bye Dave and have a safe flight back to Italy" I said as I ignited the engine.
" Bye" he replied then I drove off.
' oh Frank, how do I explained any of this to you without making a fuss'
' I just hope he doesn't make this any of this more complicated than it already is"
' But who is that lady with him?'
' what's her relationship with him and why are they together?'
Author's POV
.
Bella drove into the compound and parked the car at the garage then she got down and went into the house.
She took a deep breath as she entered and saw Frank in the living room and she went to meet him.
" Frank, I think we need to talk" she said as she got to him.
" Seriously, you think?" He asked.
" Listen, it's not what you think...I just don't want you to get it wrong" she said.
" You think this is about seeing you two together?, you lied to me Bella" he said angrily.
" I asked you out to dinner but you decided to decline so you could spend some quality time with whoever that was"
" Is it a crime to ask my wife out to dinner?... I've been trying to be the perfect husband for you but you chose to ignored it" he said.
" I'm sorry that I lied to you about it, I really am but he was just a friend" she said.
" if he's indeed a friend i don't think it should be hard for you to tell me about it, I thought you and I are starting to connect" Frank said.
" We are Frank, believe me we are" she said.
" Then tell me truthfully Bella, who is that man? Cause what I saw in that restaurant isn't something an ordinary friend will do" he said.
" His name is Dave, he and I went to the same high school in the state and he's also my first boyfriend" she said.
" We were both in love then his parents relocated to Italy due to business" she said then Frank scoffed.
" First boyfriend huh, how come you didn't mention anything about him Bella"
" Cause I remember vividly the day you and I sat together telling each other about our past, you Bella, you said we have to be truthful on it"
" So what happened huh?, you suddenly forgot your first love or you decided not to say anything about it"
" Frank..."
" Bella, I told you everything about my past relationship because I want us to have a clean start and you are busy acting as if you have nothing to hide"
" I love you Bella, I tried every possible ways to show you how much I truly love you but you fail to see it"
" Frank, you need to believe me there's nothing going on between both of us, we just met few days ago"
" Why didn't you tell me anything about it?" Frank asked.
" It's because I don't want you to worry about anything like you're now" she said.
" Or maybe you don't want me to suspect anything about you, Bella are you cheating on me?" Frank asked.
" What!, Of course not...I'll never do such a disgraceful thing, I should be the one asking you that because I saw you with a lady as well" she said.
" You wanna who that lady is. Her name is Linda Rand of Rand corporation, I went to seal a deal with her...are you satisfied?" Frank said.
" Look Frank, I said I'm sorry what else do you want me to say" she said back angrily.
" You lied to me" Frank shouted back.
" I'm sorry Okay, sorry. I'm tired I can't do this right now" she said rudely then went to the room.
Frank said nothing as she went in and he spent some time in the living room then he decided to sleep in the guest room.
