* Kendall's POV

A few hours later in the evening,

Wonder, that's the name of the beauty in the restaurant, she screams scratching my back then I feel her body contracting then softening in my hands, I think she has just reached the pinnacle of pleasure, I I join her too then I roll on the side of the bed, my chest dripping with sweat, I hear him breathing loudly then laughing softly.

"Wow, that was sublime," she said, turning to me.

I get up, I take off the condom and I put on my clothes.

'' Where are you going ? She asks sitting up on the bed.

'' Home.

'' How is it with you? You can spend the night here at my house, it does not bother me on the contrary.

'' My wife is waiting for me, I answer, buttoning my shirt.

I head for the door after wearing my shoes and I feel a hand pulling me, I turn around, Merveille is standing naked in front of me.

“Baby wait,” she says.

I cringe, frowning.

"Didn't you like it?

'' Whether.

"So spend tonight with me please," she says in a sultry voice pressing her chest against my shirt.

'' My wife is waiting for me, goodbye, I say, gently freeing myself.

I open the door, I cross the living room, barely have my hand on the handle of the exit door that I hear: "You call me darling".

I open the door without answering him and walk out. I won't call her that's for sure, she's quite sexually satisfying but I hate it when a woman calls me "baby" "honey" or some other little nickname like that, there's only women of my family who have the right to do so, starting with my mother, so I put a cross on her.

I arrive in front of the gate of the house, I honk and the guard comes to let me in. I get out of the car taking my phone, I know that Emmy is not sleeping, I will surely find her in the living room, I open the door and I see her sitting on the sofa with a worm of water in her hands, she seems not having heard me come in because she is staring at the wall in front of her.

'' Good evening, I let go.

She turns her head and looks at me, I smile at her.

“Five o'clock and two minutes, it's five o'clock in the morning,” she said.

I look at my watch on my arm and indeed it is five o'clock in the morning, I did not see the past hour.

'' She was that good? she asks standing up.

“Wonderful,” I said smiling.

To tell the truth, I said it while thinking of the first name of this girl that I managed to memorize.

She looks down at me, places the verse on the coffee table, then heads for the stairs leading to the bedrooms, but unexpectedly she retraces her steps and stands in front of me, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Kendall, tell me what I did to you! Tell me what I did wrong to you!

“I don't know what you're talking about Emmy!

'' Oh good ?

I walk over to the couch and sit down, I'm too tired.

'' Yes, I say sitting down.

'' So you find it normal that a married man like you goes from girl to girl and that you come home at late hours?

“Emmy I'm tired.

“I don't care if you're tired, it wasn't me who tired you Ngnan! What is your problem exactly? Why are you so obsessed with coming home late now? When was the last time you made the effort to eat what I cook? When was the last time you touched me?

I really feel my patience level dropped to give way to annoyance, is this woman serious that she wants me to talk right now?

'' Emmy that's enough!

'' No listen to me, you have to change, I'm fed up!

"Emmy please," I said calmly.

“Kendall tell me what not…

"Emmy I said enough is enough," I thunder while remaining calm.

She calms down and looks at me bewildered even though I know that deep down she is bubbling.

“I don't eat your food anymore”, “I don't touch you anymore” and then? Tell me what do you do? You talk as if you came normally into this marriage!

'' It was you who married me, she shocks.

“Yes, but in exchange for continuing your studies, no? I even helped you open your business, so what more do you want? You act like a woman who came home with dignity, you are in a marriage of convenience do not forget it! This marriage is worth nothing, the proof we don't have children so please don't make me any more noise.

She stares at me silently and tears start to flow from her eyes, it's been a long time since I saw him cry, I think the last time was well over a year ago.

* Emmy’s POV

When I was younger, I always told myself that the man who will be by my side will be the one who knows how to fulfill me, love me despite all my faults. Life isn't always rosy, it's not even that often, but I think what I'm going through right now is cruel, I feel like I'm wasting away every day, I'm weakening in addition finish.

Kendall, he doesn't like me, that I understand, besides I don't like him either but I just ask for respect...

“Besides, I don’t like him either”

Who do you think you're lying to Emmy if not yourself? I love him and that's even why I cry, otherwise what woman cries for the man she hates? None !

I waited for him last night as I do every time he comes home late, that is to say all the time, I told myself that I will hold him accountable this time when he gets home, I am his wife after all. So I waited for him sitting in the living room but the more the hours passed the more my heart was heavy then I heard his voice greet me, he was there. I wanted to leave but I remembered that he had accounts to give me so that I can understand what is wrong between us in order to improve our home but when he opened his mouth to answer me , I immediately regretted it. Kendall doesn't talk much, but when he does it's with such penetrating accuracy that you wonder if his words aren't already chosen in advance, they are so clear, crisp, and precise.

Tonight, I had promised myself not to cry and above all to keep my head up no matter what he could say to me or do to me… but it's too hard… so hard, I'm only a woman after all, my heart is only made of flesh and blood!

I look at him sitting on this sofa and two big tears run down my cheeks, it hurts, so much!

I turn my back on him and go up the stairs, once in the room I sit on the bed.

Kendall says I got married in exchange for my studies, it's true, he says it's a marriage of convenience, it's still true but he omitted to say that my heart ended up forgetting it was a marriage of convenience, I would even say that my heart doesn't care that I got married so that I could continue my studies, my heart ended up loving Kendall, it ended up loving her sincerely!

I don't know how but after two years of marriage I realized that I now love my husband, I sincerely love Kendall.

If it was up to me he might even move out of the house it won't make me hot or cold but my heart doesn't agree, how come I love Kendall? I do not know ! It's crazy and stupid but you have to believe that love itself is insane.

Kendall says we don't have kids but how will we have kids if the first four years of our marriage my husband made the effort to touch me he brought me boxes of birth control pills every month showing me like this openly that he doesn't want a child with me…? Every time I took those pills I was in pain, so bad knowing that my husband didn't even want a child from me, just thinking about it still hurts me, yet I believed that the pain of this injury would eventually fade over time but there are wounds that as soon as we touch them they remind us of their terrible pain.

To be continued...
