Silent treatment

"Shut up… shut up…" he got so angry and jumped off her. He didn't even look behind and left the bedroom. Evelyn jumped from the bed and ran to lock the door from inside. He was being too aggressive. Since they started living together, this was the first time she saw him this angry. He looked like he could kill anyone.

For a moment there, she felt her body excited when he got close to her. His touch made her heart flutter. If he decided to make his move there and then, she was afraid she would've given in.

She wanted him badly at that moment. The provocation may have been a lie but that was what she wished she had with him. She wanted him to take the step. Looking at the situation with the mistress, she knew her marriage was at a stake. She had to decide, whether to save it or destroy it. But she wasn't ready for it

Standing at the door for a while, she held her hand and there was a slight sign of bruise on it. He held her too tight. If they were to struggle further, she would not have defeated him.

She didn't bother to follow him and went to the bathroom, took a shower and went to make her breakfast. Since the housemaid was there for the day, she ordered a few dishes and asked her to prepare for them.

She made up her mind, she was not going to stay at home anymore. She was going out to make money like she used to. She was going to regain her life and everything she lost to that man. No longer was she going to throw a few more years to a man that did not appreciate her efforts and her.

For the rest of the day, she didn't get to see Martin. She was glad he was gone and also worried he might have got to see one of his mistresses. She had send out private investigators to look into the women he had been seeing before. He promised to stop seeing them. That's was his saving grace.

She hoped he would keep the promise. That was the only thing that could keep the marriage going. Otherwise she was ready for the next step. At least that was what the adrenaline was saying

Making rush decisions when angry is not always the best solution to the problem. Especially when it comes to marriage. There are lots at stake and other factors to consider. For them it was no problem since they didn't have a child together. But the emotional attachment was still strong.

It would be very difficult to give up without a fight. Unless they both want the same thing.

She spend the rest of the evening sleeping. She must've been exhausted. She woke around 8 but Martin was still not yet home. She ate her dinner, had the rest in place in case he came back. But she was not going to wait for him

She went back to sleep.

At some point at night, she felt the other side of the bed sinking and a smell of fresh shampoo assaulted her nostril she knew he came back. She didn't turn and went back to bed. The man got closer to her and there was a smell of alcohol from a distance. He wasn't drunk. He seem to have drunk a bit

" I am sorry for everything I have put you through. I know I have hurt you so much. Please don't do the same mistake I did. You are too important to me. At this point, nothing else matters than you. Please don't leave me…" it was a whisper but she could hear him. He must've thought she was asleep. Than confession a lot was enough to flutter her heart for a bit. But she had made her mind to teach him a lesion as well as change some things around their lives.

She didn't want to change her mind because of some meaningless words.

Sometimes thinking and doing something is quite the opposite.

Monday morning, she woke up early and prepared breakfast as usual and dressed up. Just as Martin was dressed for work, she had also dressed for work. For a long time, she wished she could go back to work and now was the chance. That was one of the things she wanted to change in their life.

Martin didn't ask anything but there were questions on his mind. He placed his briefcase on chair and sat down. None of them spoke the entire time.

Evelyn took her handbag from the chair and walked out, Martin was puzzle for a moment. He was curious where she was going early in the morning. He stopped and took his briefcase as well. His car was waiting as well as his wife's car

" Wait.." he rushed to her his curiosity getting the best of him, " Where are you going?'

Evelyn stopped for a moment and looked at him, "To look for work. I may be late tonight. Ill get the maid to prepare you dinner" few words left him standing in the middle his chauffer and bodyguard looking at them awkwardly

Evelyn didn't wait and hopped in her car and left. She had a lot to do and plan

On the other hand the governor was worried about his wife change of behavior she seemed like a totally different person. He was more scared than ever.

She was coming on to him strongly.
