Chapter 76

(Ammy's POV)

The day had dragged itself by.I watched some movies, played music at a very high volume and danced along freely.The workers were all looking at me as though I was a naughty kid they couldn't control.I was always at the kitchen either for popcorns or ice cream or crips that I ate as I watched and danced.Atleast that made the rest of my day quite active.Darkness fell sooner and I went to my bedroom for a warm shower as I waited for Maxwell to come home.I dressed myself in a baggy booty short and a shirt.I combed my hair and tied it in a loose bun before going back downstairs.

"Ma'am, there is a visitor at the lounge,"Colbert informed me as I descended the stairs.It seems he was coming upstairs to inform me of the visitor.

"Who is it and why visit at this time?"I asked peering curiously at him.

"I have no idea why she is here at this time ma'am."

"She...?"I asked.

"Yes ma'am...it's miss Renna Evans,"he informed me and a disgusted frown appeared on my face.

"Okay, thank you Bert,"I spoke after recovering from the unpleasant information I just received.

I walked towards the lounge unhurriedly.Did she know that I lived here?... ofcourse she did but why come at this time?It was almost 8 pm.

"Renna..."I called to her as I walked into the lounge.The lady stood from her seat and stretched her hand to me, which I accept as though nothing happened earlier.

"Ammy...we meet again?"she responds faking surprise.

"No we don't, you came to my house.Can I be of help to you in any way?" I asked.I know that was rude but after what I had witnessed in her earlier today, I cared less.

"I must say that you are very pretty Ammy.So very beautiful and such a wonderful feminine figure.I truly envy for you for that but I pity you because you look so fragile and innocent,"she spoke smiling yet scrutinizing me with her sharp glare.I ignored that and kept looking at her face emotionless.

"That's kind of you to say.I wasn't expecting anyone at this time and I wasn't informed of any visitor coming at this time,"I responded calmly sitting opposite her.

"Yeah that's true but I came to see Max...is he home?"she asked smiling but that smile was fake that anyone could note.It was as though she was passing a message I couldn't grab through that smile of hers.

"He is not home yet..."I responded curtly to her question.

"That's strange for new weds.When we were together, he would always come home early to me,"she responded and my eyes narrowed at her words.

"W- what's that supposed to mean?"I stammered my question in confusion but before she could respond Max walked inside smiling at me warmly.

Oh precious, he was so cute and very handsome and that smile was bewitching.I wanted to smile back at him but Renna's words were still ringing in my mind and so I couldn't.He walked closer to me, slid his arm to my waist, yanked me to himself and planted a hot, passionate but brief kiss on my lips.

"W- welcome home.Am sorry I didn't know you are here.How was your day at work?"I asked regaining my composure.

"It wasn't too good so I left and went to the dad's place hoping to see you there but you weren't,"he responded honestly.

"Am sorry I drove home after shopping with the girls.But you could have come home,"I responded forcing a smile at him.He was being too sweat all of a sudden yet he left very angry earlier today.Or he knew that Renna was there so he was trying to act as a good husband!?...

"It's fine my love, am here now but you don't look too good to me.Did anything happen?"he asked, his eyes gazing at mine so warmly and his voice so soft and not cold as earlier.

My eyes shift to Renna's side, finding her gazing at us as though she would melt us with her gaze.Max follows my gaze to her side.He released me from his grip and faced her, not surprised by her presence.

"Does it mean that you've gone deaf?...I told you to stay way from my properties.Thats includes my home, offices and everything I own, including my woman,"he spoke loud enough that I could here.

"Max, atleast listen to me.I deserve a chance to explain why I did what I did,"she pleaded and Max remained quiet.I glanced at her then back to Maxwell.I couldn't understand what they were talking about.Renna glanced at me and popped a wicked curt smile.It seems she was determined to let me know something.She then got back to her fake seriousness.

"It was dad's idea to move to Spark so I had to break up with you because I knew it wouldn't work out,"she spoke her voice breaking.Was I hearing things right?

"Max you know that I love you so much and I would do anything for you but please don't be mad with me anymore, it's tearing my heart apart,"she continued moving closer to him.

Crap! the girl was so shameless!...she is married and she is aware that Max was my husband yet she was flirting with him in my presence!... thinking of marriage, my eyes travelled to her fingers.No ring!...did she take her wedding ring off to come flirt at my husband.She moved closer and pushed herself closer to Max, she slipped her hands to his waist and hugged him tightly.

"For what we shared once please don't push me away Max,"she spoke, pleading as though she was crying still hugging him tightly and caressing him back erotically.

In disbelief, I glanced at her face,her brow was raised at me and she was smiling wickedly at me but Max didn't see it.

I couldn't take it.Tears dampening my cheeks, I ran out of the lounge sobbing silently.I ran to the bedroom and banged the door behind me.

How could Max just stand and let her hug him so tightly and let her caress him so erotically in my presence.Is this how much he disliked me?...I this how mush he despised me?

I asked myself sobbing uncontrollably.But why was I crying?...my mind pressed the bell.

"Am I in love with him now?"I asked still sobbing.

"Why on earth would I love him?"....he doesn't love me and he had proven it before me that as much as we are married, he can never belong to me.

That he loved someone else and that why he let her touch him in that manner in my presence.

I cried myself to sleep on an empty stomach.I woke up the following morning, alone in bed.I walked to the bathroom and freshened up.I unhurriedly walked to the closet and got myself dressed.My eyes landed on the briefcase on dressing table.

That meant Maxwell had not gone to work yet.So late!?

I pushed the thoughts behind my mind and walked downstairs.I was very hungry and I had no time to think about a man who didn't care about me.

My good,the dining table was already set.I took my seat and Rose served me.

"Rose, have you seen Maxwell today?,"I asked as she continued serving me.

"Yes ma'am,"came her short response.

"Has he had breakfast already?...where is he?"I asked curiously but she was reluctant to answer me.

"I asked a question Rose,"I spoke when she remained silent.

"He hasn't ma'am..."she responded her voice low.Why was she behaving that way?

"So where is he?...I will go ask him if I should serve him,"I spoke standing from the seat.

"A- at the lounge but ma'am....I don't think you should go,"she responded looking at me with pleading eyes.

"Don't worry Rose, he listens to me and so he will and we will have breakfast together,"I responded smiling and walked to the lounge.Rose followed me behind but kept distance between us.

There were three wine bottles and two glasses on the table.I couldn't see anyone from where I was standing but Rose had told me that he was here.

"He isn't here, come help me clean this mess,"I whispered to Rose feeling disappointed that he wasn't there.

I walked further inside but my eyes landed on the two figures laying on the ceramic floor.

Renna was on top of my husband,her right thigh on Max's left thigh.Her naked self on my husband....and a feminine pant was on the floor.

I knew that he didn't love me and our marriage was a scum but did he have to do this?....a strong pain hit my chest that my knees got weak. I stuttered causing the bottles fall on the floor, one breaking on the process, making the lovey dovey startle from their slumber.

It was all over sudden becoming hard for me to breath.My cheat felt tight and I felt confused, agitated that I could bring myself to breath.My hand, rushed to my chest as it was getting tighter and tighter,tears were now streaming down my chest.The other stretched out to Rose and she ran to my side.

Both of the stood when they saw me. Max looked at himself wide eyed then his gaze travelled to the girl beside him.He seemed shocked, very surprised as his eyes fell on the pant in the floor and his open zipper.

"Oh NO!"he muttered shutting his eyes.

I felt like I was going to die, like seriously, the pain in my chest was too much that I was running out of breath.

"Hospi....."I tried to speak but I couldn't.Max rushed to my side, scooped me in his arms and rushed me to the hospital.
