The Last Thug Ryder

Part 10

"I want to say that you're my boo... I wanna tell you that I love you.. Girl you are the one."

Ryder sat in his car for what felt like forever, unable to erase the image from his head from what he just saw. He wasn't sure what the emotion was he was feeling and then realized it was rage burning through him. He contemplated driving his car to cut Iosua off and put a bullet in his head but that was the jealousy trying to overtake his better judgment. Can't shoot a man for having an affair with another man's wife. Ryder chuckled feeling like he was duped by his clever wife who made him believe she was different from the women he was use to seeing only to be proven wrong. He wondered how many times they had met up while he was at work and found he couldn't stop laughing. Karma had finally shown her pretty head. When he stopped laughing, Ryder leaned his head back on the chair closing his eyes letting the pain consume him. He finally put his car in first gear pulling away from the curb to get to his next run, shutting out anymore thoughts of his deceitful wife.

ALOFA'S POV

He walked through the front door at 6 in the morning. Alofa was already awake, unable to stay asleep with everything she had found out. She wanted to sort through her plan on how to fix the damage between her husband and father in law. She greeted Ryder when he walked out of the bathroom in his towel fresh from his shower. She tried not to look at her husbands flawless physique knowing she would begin blushing. She still wasn't use to sleeping next to him ever night and wondered why he never tried to do anything with her besides snuggle. Ryder never glanced at her, walking out of the bathroom, he meant to walk to the wardrobe to grab some boxers but exhaustion hit him. He ended up going straight for the bed his wife just finished making and pulled the sheets back. Alofa didn't know what he was about to do until it was too late. Ryder ripped the towel off climbing into bed on his stomach and promptly fell asleep. He was snoring in no time. Alofa was blushing from seeing her husband naked she didn't know whether to run out of the room or stand her ground and view God's beauty laying before her. She decided to leave the room. Oh but her husband way sexy as hell. she chose to let him sleep first before she told him about her meeting with Iosua. She didn't want to keep it from him and whatever happens, Alofa would stand by Ryder and support whatever he chose to do with the information. She made it halfway down the stairs and nearly stumbled from the thought that popped into her head. She loved her husband. She paled wondering how she never saw it coming. She loved her husband who didn't love her. He was only doing his duty by her. Alofa felt depressed by the news. She called Oriana and told her. Her friend seemed to have had the fits of giggles when Alofa told her she loved Ryder. Oriana couldn't contain her glee but reassured Alofa that things were about to get better between her and Ryder if she just tells him she loved him. Alofa thought that was the worse advice her friend had ever given her. She didn't want to leave herself vulnerable like that. She was about to tell Oriana about her talk with Iosua and opted to stay quiet feeling her husband should be the first to hear of it.

Ryder didn't wake up until 8 that night. He didn't say much to his wife. He chose to skip dinner and left the house for work.

That was his new routine. Ryder got home at the crack of dawn, sleeping the day away and leaving the house when it was dark. He avoided his wife like the plague. By the second week, his wife finally snapped blocking him from leaving the house.

Ryder- "What are you doing?"

"What is going on with you lately? You avoiding me. I try to talk to you and you brush me off with the excuse that your tired."

Ryder- "So?"

"Are you having an affair?"

Alofa felt terror for the first time ever when she saw the look that crossed Ryder's face. But she needed to know.
