Chelle's POV:

It had been two weeks since the last time I had actually had a full conversation with Shane and I could tell he was getting annoyed with me, but frankly I do not care.

We had been happily married, well maybe happily is a little far fetched but our marriage was good as far as I knew for the last three years but all that crumbled that day that horrible incident I witnessed in Shane's office almost a month ago.

Yes we still pretend to be happy in front of our families, because no one knows about Shane's cheating except for my father and my best friend Sara.

No we are not sleeping together. I refuse to easily lay down for my so called husband who can just as easily sleep with who or what he wants to without a second thought or even how it might make me feel.

Every time we kissed in front of our families I felt like I needed to throw up and scrub my lips raw.

I know, I know dramatic but this man who so easily cheated on me with the same female that had cheated on him the beginning of our college days literally made my skin crawl.

I had never looked at or even thought of another man in the way I once thought of Shane. He had destroyed my thought of a happily ever after.

Maybe there were signs, but up until the day I began asking him questions about our relationship I never saw any, or maybe I did and just brushed them off as being overly tired , because we were both trying to grow our business.

'So have you gotten any proof yet'? Sara asked me as soon as she sat down on the couch in my office. I shook my head no.

'Why not'? She asked me.

"Because all of a sudden he has started trying to act like a loving husband". "Like he did when we first got married". "He comes home right at five thirty every night". "He doesn't spend the weekends out with the boys, like he had the last year or so". I explained to her and shrugged my shoulders.

'Maybe he knows, you know'. She said. I again shrugged my shoulders not really knowing what answer to give her or how to answer her.

"I don't know, but I do know he's still talking to her". "I overheard their conversation the other day, apparently she's upset because he hasn't spent a lot of time with her lately". I told her.

'Hmmm'. She just hummed.

"I don't think she likes the fact that your brother is now Shane's personal secretary and his personal assistant". "She just can't go to Shane's office and chase his secretary away like before". I explained laughing afterwards.

'Yeah, my brother had told me she tried several times to make him leave his desk by sending him out for coffee or supposed work your father sent her to him to finish'. 'It's actually quite hilarious, she had even told my brother that she is the CEO's wife and she has permission to go into his office without being announced'. My brother told her unless he gets the okay from his boss, she is not to go into his bosses office without permission'. 'She even tried to get my brother fired, but since your father is the one who hired him there is nothing she can do but complain to her so called husband'. Sara explained in one breath. I almost chuckled, but her last statement sent a sharp pain to my heart.

My facial expressions must have changed because Sara asked what happened. I just shook my head not really giving her an answer.

"I will tell my father that his employee is using her lunch hour to harass his "son in laws" new secretary". I told her. I watched as she nodded her head.

'Lets go to lunch'. She said getting up off of my couch. I nodded my head getting up from my office chair. I took a deep breath and walked out of my office, locking the door.

Why am I locking my door you may ask?

FLASHBACK:

Well you see I had actually found my so called husband in my office just roaming around like he was looking for something, when I asked him why he was inside my office and how he got in? He said that my personal assistant let him in, and the reason he was there was because he wanted to take me to lunch. I shrugged my shoulders and agreed to go to lunch with him after firing my personal assistant.p

Cruel I know, but the very first rule I gave him was to not let anyone no matter who ever they say they are, but did he follow that one rule? No of course not or he'd still have a job at my company. Don't feel to bad for him my father hired him in his company, so I guess technically he wasn't fired just moved companies.

Shane and I walked to the near by Cafe that is on the same road as my company and had a small quiet lunch together. To be honest it was nice, it had been a long time since we were able to leave our companies during lunch time to eat. Most of the time it was ordered and delivered to our companies. In short it made me happy that my husband found time to have lunch with his wife, little did I know that this would be our last happy meal together.

END OF FLASHBACK:

After Sara and I left my company we headed to her favorite restaurant, which her husband happens to own and had our lunch. While we were eating a man whom I had never seen before walked to our table and sat down. At first I was shocked, that was until Sara spoke to the gentleman.

'Really Zack'? She questioned.

'What'? The man named Zack asked her.

'You didn't even bother to ask if you can join us, you just sat down and started eating my food'! Sara huffed out annoyed, but not really sounding annoyed at all. I just stared at their interactions wonder what their relationship was. I knew he wasn't her husband because I had met him before.

I cleared my throat trying to gain their attention. I didn't want to interrupt them, but then again I did.

'Oh, I'm sorry Chelle'. Sara said.

'Michelle, meet my older brother Zack'. 'Zack meet my best friend Michelle'. She introduced us.

"Nice to meet you". 'Nice to meet you'. Both Zack and I said together causing Sara to chuckle.

"Wait brother"? I asked her confused. I watched as she nodded her head yes.

"You didn't tell me you had two brothers". I blurted out.

'Actually I have five'! 'I'm the only girl'. She exclaimed proudly.
