THE OTHER WOMAN .

As she went to the elevator it was then it hit her. She had lied to him again.

Her heart had melted the moment he had said that he wanted her. She had felt that finally, he was going to love her right.

That was not what he had said though. He had told her that she was the most amazing person yet he couldn't love her the way that she wanted to be loved.

She had wanted to tell him that he was being selfish by telling her that. He was being selfish by expecting her to wait around till he learned how to love her the way she wanted.

There was a time when if he had told her though he would have jumped in excitement and told him how she would wait forever if need be.

She did not feel that so even if her heart still craved him she had started to love herself a little.

He didn't deserve her at all and she knew that but somehow still kept him around. She was so disappointed in herself all over again but it was all done with.

"Are you okay ?", he asked her.

She had forgotten for a second that they were riding the same elevator.

"Yeah am fine ", she said as she offered him a little smile.

She wanted to tell him that she was not okay. She wanted to tell him that he had said the opposite of what she wanted to hear but they were already past that.

She was a big girl and big girls didn't say things like that she couldn't let him break again. She had worked so hard to reach the point where she was so she was just going to let it go.

One thing was right though. No matter how much he loved her and made her smile she would always remember the things he had done before.

The things that she always questioned and wondered if she ever deserved them.Every time he would say something about another female all she could think about was the time she found him with another woman in bed.

Every time he would tell her beautiful she would wonder how many women he had told that to in the time that they were together.

No matter how good she looked all she ever thought about was what the woman he slept with looked like.

Every time she looked at her strawberry hair she wondered how she would look with blonde hair just because Briana had it.

She knew that no matter what effort he put out these were things that she would never forget. He had made her question everything about herself and no woman deserved to feel like that.

It was not that she hated him your that. She never mattered to him back then. She would just keep thinking of when he would lose interest in her and treat her like that.

Her heart wouldn't survive it if he treated her like a princess and switched it again.

He loved him and hated him at the same time.

The elevator stopped on their floor and everyone went to their respective places.

Anna noticed the eyes on her and wondered what it was that had piqued people's interest in her.

Was it because he had come to work with Vincenzo?

They possibly couldn't think that he was sleeping with her.

As Marcus passed by her desk she called him and the look he gave her made her think that something was going on that she didn't know about.

The way he looked at her you could think that she was the most disgusting person that he had ever seen. He looked at her with so much judgment in his eyes it was unsettling.

"Is there something going on here that I don't know about ?", she asked him.

"Well we finally met the boss's pregnant girlfriend ", said Marcus looking at her as if he was waiting for something to happen.

"Okay then why the hell is everyone looking at me as if I got her pregnant and decided to ditch her ?", she asked him as she crossed her hands in front of her chest.

She also didn't know that Briana was Vincenzo's girlfriend, to begin with, that seemed to be news that he had forgotten to share again.

"Are you gonna act like you didn't know that he had a pregnant girlfriend when you went and slept with him ?", Marcus asked her.

"Am sorry what ?", she asked him pure shock on his face.

Briana had just crossed all her boundaries and she was snit going to sit around and let her spread the news about her that we were fake.

"You didn't know that his girlfriend was pregnant ?", Marcus asked her.

"Well I didn't know I had to ask my husband if he had a girlfriend who was pregnant before I sleep with him, there's no manual on that ", said Anna.

She was fuming not because people knew that Briana now existed. It was the fact that Briana had thought it was best for her to drag her name in the mud.

She couldn't even start to fathom the things that the people at work were saying about her.

She looked around her and could see everyone's eyes on her. Maybe she was imagining it but she assumed everyone hates a woman who would do something like that.

To their eyes, she was the woman who was ruining a relationship and not the other way round.

"Am sorry your husband I didn't quite catch that", Marcus said as she looked at Anna confused.

It was then that his eyes glanced at her hand and saw the ring. How could he have missed it all this while?

The only possible explanation was that maybe she never wore it to work.

"Where is she ?", Anna asked Marcus who was still a little distracted from the news that he had received.

"The janitor opened Vincenzo's office and let her in, am sorry are you married to Vincenzo, or was that a joke ?", he asked her but she didn't answer she just bolted to Vincenzo's office.
