Threats

Looking at the man smirking cross legged, Evelyn just smiled and looked away. Martin was pissed off at her I don't care look. But he had to do something. She said she didn't want to be involve with the event of Friday but it was extremely important. If she didn't go voluntary then he had to drag her there using threats

"Well, I can help you with your campaign and endorsement, but in one condition. Sign the papers. If you do this then we won't have to fight and well pretend everything is okay between us until you are elected the president." She calmly stated her condition Martin raising an eyebrow about it. He never saw her this eager to leave him. He really must've crossed her line

"Let's talk about it after the event is over" he said standing on his feet ready to go.

"The event is only two days away. Why don't we settle it before then, that way I may not have to go to the extreme to fight for my freedom? You know what I am talking about." This time she did not back down

"You wouldn't dare" he turned looking deep in her eyes. He wanted to be sure if she would go ahead with her threats but looking at her, deep down he was scared. What if she really expose the affair and about the baby

"I am really surprised you are not here to give excuses about the baby. I would love to hear your side of the story though. Aliya already told me hers. You guys come from far. You have secrets you are willing to protect at the expense of your family. That must be deep. I think the public might want to hear about it…." She didn't look at him and opened the door, " I won't see you off"

Martin was stunned and wondered how much she knew about everything, "and please sign the papers before Friday. At most Friday. I don't want to be too emotional and say things I shouldn't say. At least I should give you face. Don't you think so?" she locked the down from inside as soon as she was done.

she knew it was not going to be easy getting him to sign the papers. But him coming up with the idea of an affair, that was another level. ' what is he up to?'

Before she could think of ways to solve the emerging issue she was called over to the theatre. For the rest of the day she didn't think anything and went ahead with her work. On the other side, there was news of her scolding the reporters in the presence of her husband at the hospital. Some people commented her for her passion on saving lives.

Other rebuked her for not having time for her family. It was chaotic on the internet with her pictures emerging before she was married working hard and becoming the best female surgeon in the country. Many people commended her before for being a passionate surgeon before she was married. Now that she was back to work in only a few weeks after quitting for five years, she is neglecting her family?

Life is ironic sometimes.

Why didn't they say she needed to spend more time relaxing before when she was overworking herself to save lives. Now that she has a husband and a public figure her life is being shown as a neglecting wife who does not care about her husband.

When she was done with her last patient, she went to her home. She needed to settle some things with her husband. But the content she saw on her phone trigger her madness. That was the effect Martin wanted to see. He wanted to sow a seed of doubt on people's mind about her character as a wife.

" That bastard…. This is funny though. The victim is turned into the cause of what led to a certain action. When the victim exposes some content, they will still be blamed for making it happen… Oooh Martin, you are something else" she laughed at the comment and scolding she was getting. Still there were some who happen to know her work and family life. They spoke up about how she just started her work after quitting for her family for five years.

With just that one comment, others come in and commented how she had to sacrifice her work and take care of her home.

But there were other questions that were emerging in all those situation. Why was she going back to work now? I thought her husband was thinking of running for the presidential office next year?

We don't know, it could be she wants her go back to her job due her passion for it

No. I heard somewhere there is trouble in paradise. They may divorce soon

Where did you get that?... it cant be true. They are the best couple we have seen so far, handsome and beautiful wife

I also heard their relationship had not been the same since she lost her pregnancy

That's how a conversation started on their lives online. Just a small incident and incitement had led to unveiling of their issues. It could be Martin anticipated it will happen that way. But it seem their fight will go online soon.

It was 8 pm when she got home. Martin was still not there yet. She showered and changed into her nightgown. Surprisingly, all her nighties were sexy and revealing. She was seated there at the dining table eating all alone. It was quite with her dismissing the servants. It was only Anna that was in the kitchen cleaning

She looked different form the confident and passionate doctor at the hospital. Now she was just a wife sitting at home eating dinner alone with a lot on her mind

Just then, Martin walked in. He was loud but Evelyn was too deep in her thoughts to notice him. He crept to her and touched her waist on both side. She yelp in surprised and knocked him with her elbow as she stood. It was instinct. He mind just went off and defended herself.
