Marriage Bargain

I arrived home drained, exhaustion weighing me down. I changed clothes and headed to my study to work on unfinished tasks. But my mind refused to focus. 


‘Who does she have an appointment with?’ I wondered, Emily's face lingering in my thoughts. A pang of curiosity or perhaps something more, stirred within me. 


I tried to shake off the distraction, directing my gaze to the documents on my desk. However, my thoughts continue to wander. 


‘What if she is seeing someone?’ I said in my thoughts, feeling tightness in my chest. 


‘She can go out with anyone she likes, we are not romantically married anyway,’ I shrugged, fixating my eyes on the work at hand. 


As I worked, the hours ticked by and my eyelids began to droop. I let out a languid yawn, arching my back to relieve the tension that had built up. Just as I was starting to relax, the sudden thrill of my phone pierced the air. I glanced at the screen and Colin's name flashed back at me.
