hudaabaisa for being one of my first reader and comment.
I pack my bags. I release a heavy sigh. Sweat trickles down my forhead, I wiped it off with the back of my hand.
I close my eyes and remember the events of the last twenty four hours.I had just made breakfast and even dressed up since it was our anniversary. It's been three years and I couldn't believe it. They say marriage is tough but I think we have handled pretty well.
At least that's what I was thinking.I waited for Adam to wake up. I sat at the dining table scrolling through my phone. A text popped up on my screen.
A whatsapp message. From an unknown number. "I know things about your beloved husband that you don't."the text claimed. I swallowed hard.Who was that any way. Did the person want to warn me because they cared or did they want to play with my life.
"Who the hell is this?" I replied. Time seemed to move so slowly as I bite nails out of nervousness. In about five minutes, I saw 'typing' and suddenly I felt like my heart was in my mouth. I tried to swallow the lump in my throat when the stranger's message appeared.
"I'm the only honest person in your life. Are you sure you can trust Adam? How much exactly do you know about the love of your life?
*Truth*Oh boy. I reread the message a couple of times until I just pushed my phone aside. How much of Adam did I really know? He was working as a nurse in a nearby hospital and was dedicated. I met his family a couple times since the wedding but other than that I'm not sure what I know.
I put my suitcases in my car and sat in the passenger seat. Yasmeen comes up to me. "Hey, you sure you're OK? " she smiles. I can tell she's scared. I look at her and fake a big smile. I'm not sure she bought it. Yasmeen is my best friend since primary school. She's the kind of girl to drive you nuts, we can argue all day but she would never abandon a friend in need.
She has this jungle green eyes, a slightly pointed nose and a pair of thin beautiful lips that always has a faint purple lipstick on.Adam, walks into the kitchen. He smiles and I automatically do the same. "Maria my dear," he says to annoy me. I slap his arm and he pretends his really hurt. "Oh stop exaggerating!" I say as I hand him a plate of his favourite chicken salad sandwich. He blows a kiss in the air and I pretend to catch it.
He receives a phone call and goes to the balcony.
Meanwhile, I look at my phone and I've received a message from the stranger. I look up to see Adam making a face and he seems to be unhappy. I take a deep breath and open the image. It's an image of Adam. Him standing at the balcony right now!I look up again to see him put his hand over the railing. Oh my, who is this person and where is he?
The text below the picture said : I wonder who is Adam talking to right now? *Truth*Hey guys! !!! Short chapter I know😅 but I will soon update. Vote, comment.
