Belinda looked at Sebastian with a lot of questions flooding her mind, she wanted to know what happened, and at the same time she feels knowing what happened we completely shatter her. She know for sure he wasn't this kind of man, he was a darling husband and the father of her child.
" There's no harm in knowing'" she said to herself, this might be for the betterment of everyone ,she arranged those questions in her mind and was ready to ask Sebastian one after the other.
" How long has it been " she asked Sebastian, tossing around the hallway.
" It happened a year ago " Sebastian answered .
" A year ago " she yelled.
" And you couldn't even tell me " she continued,
" Come to think of it, I have been living with a man who has been lying to me for over a year " she tried to hold her tears.
" I never meant to lie to you belinda, and you know it, "
" But things just get out of hand, and way beyond my control " he added.
" Why did you sleep with her " she asked.
"I thought it was you " he said looking directly at her.
"" what silly excuse"" she said folding her both arms.
It was that fateful night where we lost the deal to Indiana group, I knew I had lost a great deal that will be a stepping stone for our company. Then the authorities for FD.PA ( food and drug protection agency )came with allegations about using harmful materials and we were asked to shut down for investigation. I felt so down and lost , a lot of things was running through my mind. I neeeded someone to talk to, I needed someone to hold onto, I said to myself can't I be selfish just for this night , because I wanted you so badly but I knew you were tending to our daughter . You never looked at me, you never asked me what the problem was, all your attention was fixed on our daughter, it was not a bad thing but I needed you at that point, I needed a shoulder to lean on and all I could do was turn to alcohol.
I wanted to forget that the company I built with all my strength and sweats will go down the drain ,..... I wanted to forget that maybe I will not be capable of providing surgery for my daughter,... I wanted to forget that I might be alone when things come crashing down ..., so I drank a lot ...more than my satisfaction .....more than my body could handle..... more than my strength can carry. Then I called..., I called my beloved wife..... I called and called ...I called hoping she would pick up but she didn't ...and I was wasted so the bartender called my company and my secretary came running and she took me and I really thought it was you.
I was happy in the mist of all I was going through ...I felt warm so I offered not to go home because I don't want our daughter to see me like this and she took me somewhere else which I did not know , later I found out it wasn't you,....the deed has already been done and I could not forgive myself,.....I could not bring myself to tell you what I've done.
But this cannot explain neither can it justify the huge mistake I made.
Sebastian looked up and saw his wife crying uncontrollably, and he felt a Sting in his heart,,,,, he caused all this.... if only he knew , if only he could differentiate , he couldn't blame the alcohol because he brought all this upon himself.
" What will happen to them now , will things still go back as they were," that was the question that was running through Sebastian's mind .
While on the other hand Belinda could not contain her tears, she remembered vividly those calls in the middle of the cold night ,she remembered the text..... " I NEED YOU" ..was boldly capitalized but she didn't think anything was wrong, she felt everything was perfect, she felt it was all right, she felt it was one of his lovely text, all she wanted to do was to attend to her daughter but she didn't know that why attending to one the other was falling apart... "" Am partly to blame "" she said to herself.
Belinda went close to her husband as she bent over to hug him...
" it has already been done " she said to herself .....None of them could undo what has happened but what will happen next is still in their control and within their reach .. Belinda heart keeps telling her that it wasn't the secretary's fault neither did the child beg to be brought to this world but all they have to do right now is to curb this situation for the betterment of everyone.
" Let's go talk with her,and see what she has in mind " Belinda said
" we can talk her into leaving her child with us " Belinda added.
" No I don't want to " he shrugged.
" I don't want to have her under our roof , because I don't trust her " he added.
" But she has your child " Belinda chipped in. convincing him to agree to her suggestions.
