Keeping Each Other

TEN

JULIET'S POV

I woke up to the sound of someone opening the door. I had fallen asleep in the sitting room, I quickly stood up to check who it was but first took a quick glance at the time. It was after five in the morning.

Damien is just coming home.

I had fallen asleep while waiting for him to come back last night. After he left, I had to think everything through again and again. I was wrong I should have asked him about it but I didn't instead I went ahead to confront Mercy to leave my husband in peace. I had realized that I can't compromise my marriage for anything and therefore I'll do anything to make it work. I acted on impulse because I was scared of loosing my family.

I tried to call him over and over but he refused to take my calls. I even sent a text message to Mercy to apologize for my actions but she didn't reply. He said he wasn't cheating on me but how true is it? He didn't even try to defend himself when I talked about buying her gifts at the jewelry store.

"Baby welcome." I rushed over to the door to welcome Damien.

No reply.

"Baby, I waited all night for you. I didn't even sleep in the room. Where did you spend your night??"

No reply.

"I'm sorry about yesterday."

Still no reply.

Is he giving me the silent treatment??

"Damien Oluwatobi Jacob.!" I called him by his full name. Hoping he'll answer me and he did but it wasn't the reply I was hoping for.

"Go prepare the kids for school, I'll be leaving early today." with that, he walked away from me to the bedroom.

What have I done?

Google have killed me oo!

I rushed inside the room and I met him preparing the clothes he'll wear to work today.

"Let me help you with that." I said walking towards him.

"Don't come come closer than you already are." he answered coldly, his eyes devoid of any kind of emotions.. "Go prepare your children for school. They are the only ones you care about. At least I've been the one preparing my self for work for how many years now."

"But baby....."

"Don't act like all is fine between us okay. Suddenly you're calling me baby?? Juliet!its not like you ever cared. For crying out loud do you know the implication of what you did?"

"But Damien, on everything we are even saying, you're not even trying to prove yourself not guilty of cheating. You're just angry that I accused your secretary of being your mistress."

He turned to look at me and shake his head. He didn't talk to me till he left the house.

What am I going to do?

Who am I going to call?

Should I call his mother? Or his sister? Maybe they'll talk some sense into him.

No! What if they change their mind and go against me after hearing his side of the story.

Juliana!

I immediately picked up my phone and dialled her number.

"Hello sister good aft....."

"Julie, there's fire on the mountain. Please leave whatever you are doing and come over to the house now."
