I sat at the table, peeling my chicken apart to make chicken salad. My husband sits down with me. And puts his phone down hard on the table. "What are you doing? You are not yourself Amber!" I looked at him with my love for him. "Danny, you know that I'm working on the robbery case and now the murder! I love you Danny! It's just my job!" He got pissed. "Yeah well I have to watch our kids every day while you work! I can never see you and when I do, you fall asleep or find something to do to not be around me! Hell we don't have sex anymore!" I dropped the fork. "Are you serious? Is that all that matters to you?" He laughed. "Your my wife I need alone time with my beautiful woman! Come on baby let me at least make you dinner?"

I smiled with happiness. "Yes!"

He started making the chicken salad. He looked at me like I was his only hope. He started crying, "Amber, I love you and I feel like we are falling apart! Just please...tell me you still want me...and still love me..." I touched his face and wiped the tears, "I love you more than my own life can show you Daniel! You are my husband!" He smiled and tried to suck up the tears, "Baby, you are the woman I can't live without...and when you are gone doing work...it feels like you are gone forever!"

I then got a call. "Hold on babe."

Me: Hey did you find anything?
Pam: Well results show the husband is on drugs and took drugs before the robbery, the wife and the murder we are still looking. But the doc said that he found out that Miguel is not Miguel!
Me: What? It showed up in the computer...
Pam: Well that guy in the computer is Miguel but this guy isn't, he keeps saying different names each time we ask...can you come to the office?
Me: I'm having dinner with my husband I can't...
Pam: Okay then at least check the files I emailed to you!
Me: Alright I will check later and get back to you! Thanks Pam!
Pam:  Welcome, tell Daniel hi for me!
Daniel: "I heard that!"
Me: He says hi! Got to go!

Daniel laughed once I hung up on my flip phone. "I think the robbers are both on drugs!" I walked to the laundry area in the kitchen. "Daniel nothing adds up. Why would they rob it? Who killed Jade?" He cut the chicken more, "I'm not sure. But it sounds like a movie. Not reality!" I laughed at him while folding clothes. "Babe, quit watching NCIS when you have a wife that does that shit around here..."

  I then found an envelope. It had Daniel's name on it. I opened it...the stuff that was opened and read it...

  Hey Daniel,

       I miss you and I can't wait to have that baby with you! Things are going great here...I just miss my guy! I'll be at the hotel as last time and I will bring something sexy to grill your tenders!

                          Love,
                           Rylie

Woah wait what is this?! I got mad and looked at Daniel..."What the fuck is this Danny?!" He got quiet and stood  like a statue for a few minutes. "Baby, I can explain..." I walked backwards from him, "When did this happen? Why?"

He yelled out..."Because I was drunk and told her I was widowed and you are never home! I need sex and you can't give me that anymore!" I scoffed.."Sex? Are you fucking serious? You had sex with her and got her pregnant didn't you?" He sighed...and gave me that look..."Yes... I don't love her though I messed up and I'm sorry!"

I walked away..."If you need sex so bad then become a prostitute. Make money to get sex. I work to pay for your clothes, the food, the kids schooling, our vehicles...you don't want me to work? Then we shall get rid of everything and see how you do! I'm not quiting my job I have done everything for people and I am not walking out because my own husband is so demanding of sex he cheats...fuck you!"

I went to my room and got in my computer...I saw the files... But they also didn't make sense...

Is Miguel really Miguel or did he say that to hide his identity? Do I have to divorce my husband or leave my job? And who murdered Jade?
