(The Virtuous Husband) In the name of Love

Chapter 12

Noel

I had read each and every word in the file clearly and carefully. I wanted to tear it apart and throw it far away. I couldn't believe that what all that was written was true. Allison wasn't a fucking a rat but an innocent girl recommended to my HR department by a firm in New York, and that too especially by one of my college friend Eric Blake. 

Each and every word in that file infuriated me, boiled my blood and made me angry at my own self. I cooked up a fucking story inside my mind just because I didn't trust people anymore. I blamed an innocent girl who was trying to fucking help me when my company was fucking in troubles. I had got it all wrong. My own issues had pulled me into madness and in my own madness, I had just done the un thinkable. I had hurt Allison badly just because I had seen her in the wrong shades. I had eventually turned into something that Cheryl called me years back. I was in totality now a monster. A series of coincidences was what I had thought to be a well developed plan pushing me on a path of vegence and that too from a person who had no role in my fued with Richard and hsi fucking company.

"Do you need more info on the girl, sir?" Alex asked from the other side of the table and I didn't have a damn word to say. The info he brought me had just tarnished my image in my own eyes. I didn't know how could I have done something so brutal. I wanted to shook myself up and ask that.

"No, there is nothing I need to know more," I said keeping the file back down at the table, shifting it towards him to take it away.

"I can't look at it anymore. Add it to the company records." I told him with my hands on my face. The distress was evident on my face by the looks Alex was giving me.

"Are you alright, Noel?" He voiced his concern while taking the file and reading it himself.

"Yes," My voice came out fast and harsh and he looked at me with a raised brow.

"This girl is clean, nothing wrong with her and you are still upset after reading this." He stated. "I mean you should have been happy with it. What Kelly has been telling me about you and this girl Allison, I think she is clean to date." His words did nothing more than filling my heart with guilt and remorse. I had done all that to humiliate her and right now if the truth or even the gist of what I had done with Allison yesterday evening came out I would be the one fucking humiliated in front of everyone. The worst part was that it wasn't in my hands anymore but Allison's. She could barge in the office or fucking tell the world about what I had done and I couldn't have done a damn thing about it. Allison was in fucking control right at the moment and from the way she had left yesterday she was going to destroy me. The worst part was knowing that I myself was the composer of my own ruin. Even if there was a minute chance that Allison would keep it herself then I would I have to play the part of caring for Allison as more than a friend. I had to keep on with the charade and doing it this time would be damn too difficult because there wasn't a happy or normal Allison here but an angry one who hated me.

"Did you two had a fight or something?" If Alex wouldn't have been my good friend and the security chief of my company I would have snapped at him more like fucking have him fired. But he wasn't any other employee he was a good friend and best in the field of work. He was a good friend but not a close one. He didn't have any idea what went down in my past between me and Cheryl and seriously I couldn't tell what was happening with me and Allison right now. I had to play it cool and agree with what came up in his mind. It was better to play it this way. I had eventually made a mistake more like a blunder but they didn't know about the blunder or what I did. I could call it a rift between two people who like each other and pray that Allison doesn't let our personal business out in the public for gossiping ears to hear.
