Bella's POV
.
No, this can't be true...this definitely didn't just happen....it must be a dream.
I refused to believe what just happened, the girl must be his friend or something but why did he lie about his whereabouts.
This can't happen not after all we've been through, we've been dating for almost two years and in just few months we will be married.
I mean he can't just throw all of that away, he has done alot for me and the company so he can't possibly be cheating on me.
I tried to put all that happened away and controlled myself before getting back to Mr Miller.
I took in a deep breath and then went back to Mr Miller.
" I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting" I said as I sat back down.
" Is everything okay?, you look a little bit tensed" he said.
" I'm fine" I said.
" Good, so let's continue"
" Ugh...i-i uhm....I just wanted you to know that giving this contract will be to the benefit of everyone....and ugh the..." I tried to concentrate but I couldn't.
' oh God, I can't be going through this right now..'
I can feel my whole system malfunctioning and my body trembling as I recall the way Gary wrapped his hand around the lady.
" Miss Richmond?, are you okay?" He asked then I snapped out of it.
" I'm sorry Mr Miller, i-i can't do this anymore, I'm sorry" I said then pick up my this and went out of the hotel.
I walked to the place my car was parked and I opened the door and entered startling the driver.
" Oh ma'am, you're back" he said as he sit properly.
I was breathing heavily and tried to fight back the tears but I couldn't as they stream down freely.
" Ma'am, is everything alright?" The driver asked.
" J-Just drive" I said then he ignited the car.
" Ugh, back to the office or your house" he asked.
" To Gary's house" I replied then he drove off.
Oh God, I really wish it's not true, I need to confront him.....I don't want to jump into conclusion.
I need him to give me the reason why he lied to me maybe he have a very good reason.

Few minutes later the driver drove into his house and parked the car.
I came down from the car and went inside the house, I entered and found no one inside but I could see a lady's shoe on the floor.
I glanced around the house and saw a ladies bag on the chair and my breathing started increasing.
I made my way toward his room and climbed the stairs and I saw Gary's shirt on the floor same with the one I saw at the hotel.
I a few more steps forward and found what seems to be the lady's gown right in front of the door.
As I got closer to the door all I could hear are moans and grunt.
I opened the door and found two naked bodies on the bed and one of them turned out to be my fiancee.
" Bella" he called shocked.
" Oh God, Oh my God....G-Gary...y-you...."
I can't explain the feelings that I was having at the moment, it's like a fire was about to burst out from inside.
" Bella, it's not what you think?" He said.
" Seriously Gary, I just caught you screwing that b***h and it's not what I think...how dare you ?" I shouted.
I can feel my anger coming to rage then I pulled out the engagement ring from my hand and throw it at him.
" I don't ever want to see your pathetic face before me ever again" I said then went out of the room.
I got to the parlour downstairs and grabbed my bag and went out of the house and entered my car.
Immediately I got to my I bursted in tears, I can't believe this is actually happening to me.
" Ma'am" the driver called.
" Take me home" I said then he drove off.
I thought I was the luckiest woman in the world when he proposed to me, so this is what he's been doing behind my back.
What have I done wrong to be treated this way? I didn't deserve any of this.

After the driver parked the car at the garage I grabbed my bag and got down.
I went straight inside the house and saw the maid coming out of the kitchen.
" Welcome back ma'am, I just finish with the din........" Lily said.
" Please Lily, not now...... I'll be in my room and I don't want to be Disturbed" I said then went straight to my room.

Frank's POV
.
She disgrace me right in front of all the staff, me employees.
It's not her fault, it's mine cause she made it clear to me that we can't work but i insisted hoping that she will agree.
Why is it difficult for her? She won't be the first to get heartbroken, all I wanted was to show her how much I love her.
For a while I thought she would eventually agree with me but instead she bash me up and made it clear.
She has made it pretty clear to me that it can't work but I was too stubborn to listen to her, well now I do.
I guess this is my punishment for me being a Playboy, me not getting anyone my heart truly wanted.
This is nature's way of dealing with me making sure that the one I love hate me in return.
First with Bella and now with Fortunate, what else do I need to do to stop this unfortunate fate.

I got home and parked the car at the garage and went inside the house.
As I entered I saw both my parents in the parlour and their countenance isn't friendly at all.
" Good evening mom, Good evening Dad" i greeted.
" Welcome home son" only my mom replied so I made my way to my room.
" Stop right there Frank" my dad said coldly and I stopped.
" come right here" dad said and I have a hunch that he must have heard about what happened at the company.
" What happened at the company?, what is the news I heard about you in the company" he said.
" Do you remember what I told you when you're to be appointed as CEO, I told you specifically to beware of women "
" I told you to watch your move around them but what did you do?.... you're busy frolicking around with staff and end up disgracing yourself" he said and I wondered where and how he got that information.
" Dad, how did you know that?" I asked.
" I've come a long way to build the company to where it is right now, do you think I will just step down without making sure it's in good hands"
" I was hoping handling the company over to you will make you follow in my footsteps and make the company great"
" But What the hell? Frank......I didn't come this far with that behavior, what is wrong with you?" he said.
" I'm sorry Dad, it will never happen again" I said.
" I really hope so, now tomorrow morning I want you to sack that lady with immediately effect" he said.
" No!, No dad..... leave her out of this, she has done nothing wrong actually I'm the one at fault here" I said.
" Good to know you admit that, can you now see...this is the main reason I wanted you to get married to avoid all of this" he said.
" Dad, you told me to get myself a wife which is what I'm trying to do, I never thought it will end up this way" I said.
" Now listen, I want you to take your attention away from girls and put more concentration on the company"
" There are other companies out there that will stop at nothing to reach our stage and bring us down but we have to be ten times ahead of them"
" You don't need to worry about marriage anymore... I'll take care of that" he said and furrow my brow in confusion.
" Dad what are you talking about?, what do you mean you'll take care of that" I asked.
" I'll arrange for your marriage" he said and I scoffed.
' that's never gonna happen'
