Just One Week

"Oh? So you're home early, and what I mean on early is that you literally came home in the morning." a certain a woman said in a calm voice yet a bit of anger can be sensed in her voice.

"Don't scold me. I'm tired." Ethan said coldly as he went straight to their bedroom.

"I'm not scolding you! I'm just-"

"Stop it Isabella! I don't want to argue with you!" he sadi that made her stop.

She knew that when he called her by her real name, he is mad. Tears then swelled on the sides of her brown eyes that made him feel a little gulity.

"You know how our business works right? I-i'm tired because there's a lot of work that is needed to be done this week." he said half lying about it. He didn't hear her respond, instead he heard her sniffle.

"bell.." he called but only looked at him straight in the eyes which he can't read for her dull eyes.

"T-tell me." Bella whispered coldly in a crack woice but since they were the only people in their house and there is silence between them, he heard what she clearly said.

"T-tell you what?" he asked out confused, some how feeling nervous by her cold voice.

"Tsk don't play dumb on me, Ethan. You know what i'm talking about." She said wiping the tears that has been forming on her eyes.

"Ypu think i'll ask you if I know what you're talking about?!" he asked sacastically.

"E-Ethan..I'm not as dense as you think i am... Of course I can feel it.."

"Feel what?"

"Shit!"

"Don't cuss at me!" he yelled but she ignored him.

"Tell me what's wrong with me, Ethan." she asked as tears formed in her eyes once more that made Ethan taken back from his actions.

"There's nothing wrong with you, L-love." he said, voice shattering when he used their endearment for the first time for the last who known months.

"Ethan..could you please be honest with me.. Please." Bella pleaded, and when she didn't hear any responce, she continued.

"Do you still love me?"
