" You are still here" she asked walking past him. He wanted to hug her but she just ignored his movement and walked to the sofa. She took her heels off giving the maid. The bodyguards walked in with her shopping bags and place all of them on the coffee table
" Ann. Take the bags to the room and bring me my laptop." She didn't wait for him to respond before talking to the maid. She then sat back on the sofa her back leaning on the sofa
"Well, I didn't have much to do and thought I could spend the day with you," Martin walked back to her and sat beside her. He loved her scent. He wanted to pull her to him but she shrugged her shoulder.
He looked annoyed but then changed his expression.
" I know you are angry at me about last night. I am sorry. I promise not to come home late again." Martin turned her to face him and promised. He gestured for the guards and the maid in the room to leave them. He held her chin and looked deep into her eyes, " I know I have not been a good husband lately and put my work before you. But I am going to change all that."
Looking deep in his eyes. She felt disgusted. He looked sincere but how many times had he said the same words with the exact same look. Just as he was about to kiss her, a message popped up on her phone
" Do you think he loves you. He is only using you for his career. I am the one who has been with him every night for the last four years. Stop dreaming of a perfect family. He is all mine"
She looked at the message and then at her husband. She held the phone tightly throwing him a disgusted and angry look
" Who is the woman you have been seeing for the last four years?" she could not hold on to her anger and asked all of a sudden. Martin was tensed and a look of fear and confusion flashed past his eyes
" Whata re you talking about?" he asked confused but she saw a look of panicked
" Look at this and you tell me" she threw her phone at him. He took the phone and read the message. There was a look of anger in his face but then it vanished
" I am a politician and there are lots of people waiting for my downfall. How could you believe a random message coming to you? Someone must've sent it to create a fight between us" he uttered without battling his yes. He had answered ready for her
"Really? Do you take me for a fool? For the last four years, you always had excuses for not coming home. Sometimes you will come late and go on trips often. Do you think I didn't have my doubts? Beside do you think this is the first time I have seen photos and messages about you?" she threw her words at him. This time she had enough. For too long she held it in for his sake.
"What are you taking about?" Standing on her feet, she walked to the table at the corner of the living room taking out an envelope. She threw it on the table making the content in them scatter on it.
"Take a look yourself and then you tell me what I am talking about" she said walking to her bedroom. It didn't take long for her to come back again with few other documents with her
" Now you tell me if I know what I am talking about. Tell me about all those women with you. Do any of them look like me? Do you think just because I have been quite all this time I didn't know about your affairs? I endured so much so that our relationship could work but each time I received this photos and videos, my heart shuttered. You could've told me you were not interested in me and wanted a political marriage. That would've been better. At least I would've prepared and not put much into this relationship" she said throwing her body on the chair sobbing
His hands trembling, he took a picture at a time and looked t them. They were three years old some two and other taken recently. He could not deny the evidence before him
"Babe, listen. I can't deny any of this. But I do love you. I may be a womanizer and sleep around with women but I do respect you. I love you. That's why I am turning a new leaf. I am leaving all of this behind and be faithful to only you." Martin went to her and squatted down holding her things looking into her face. She held her face with the palm of her hand not giving him access to seeing her eyes
Her sobs became louder and louder. He rubbed her thighs feeling upset seeing her like that.
"I am sorry. Please forgive me." He apologized this time he was panicked. The presidential election was around the corner. He could not lose her just like that she was too important to him. There was no way he was going to lose her. Even if it means getting rid of all his mistresses he was ready for it
"Sorry? Do you know what I have gone through all these years? The night I lost our baby, you said you were out of town on a work trip. Do you think I dint know you were is Naivasha on a tour with a woman. Here take a look at this?' she rampaged through the scattered photos and took one for him to see.
While she was in pain and lying the whole night alone in the hospital, he was in a hotel room with the same women she saw on the video the previous night
