IN LOVE WITH THE BROKEN MAN

DISCOVERY

Gabe's pov
I walked out of the house after that confrontation
And went to work I am the CEO of group of companies . On getting there I arrived at my office and met my best friend waiting for me

'hey what's up man'

' am good and you?
Great
He said shaking him
'how are you   I have not seen you or your wife in a while is anything the matter'

'no reason we have just been busy'

Gabe when will you let go of the past and face your future?

What do you mean '

You are allowing your past to ruin your chances of a happy future with Tricia
For heaven's sake she is trying to get you to open up can't you see
Chris I am not just cut out for such things please just drop it'
Gabe she deserves to be happy whether you like it or not and she can't be with you if you dont stop behaving this way'

I never asked her to marry me she did so on her own so what she does is her business
You know fully well that in this kind of a society saying no to an arranged marriage is not possible'

Well she could have run away
But she didn't she is determined to give you a chance and try to make it work please at least you also try

Am not interested in opening a bit of an inch of me to another female they are all evil'
'Please just try'
'have heard' I replied

Tricia's pov
Tricia worked in her husband's company since the marriage that merged her father's company with his
Even the staffs knew the state of their marriage but she didn't mind and always stayed out of his way she closed early and went home
She decided to start from his  room as the nanny had to go home due to an emergency and was not done cleaning
She changed into shorts and a tank top ,plugged in her earpiece and started cleaning
After an hour her phone rang

Are you pregnant?  Not even a single pleasantry

'hello to you too mum and no am not yet pregnant mom'

Why not? You have been married for some months now and am expecting you to be pregnant already '

We are not yet ready for a baby mum'

Have you not been able to make him talk to you, you better not fail in your responsibility the family is looking up to you to provide an heir or do you want him to kick you out?

Will try my best mother'

You better do, see you at your sister's wedding

Yes mum' she didn't know she was being watched by Gabe, she blinked so as to prevent tears from coming out and smiled before resuming her chores
She heard the door open and guessed her husband was around, she immediately left his room and went to hers, for some time before going to the living room

Gabe's pov
I came back early since the dinner was cancelled and as I entered the house a nice smell wafted through my nose,she must have prepared dinner
I decided to at least have dinner with her in accordance to what Chris said.  I walked into my room to change and saw her bending down to take something she is finally showing her true color I wonder what she wants to steal but she only came up with a shirt, I then saw her, she was wearing a tank top that showed her luscious breast, and those legs that seems to go on forever damn she was beautiful, wait what am I thinking? I can't fall for the deceit of beauty again, but she is your wife and it's not like you like her you just like her body a voice reasoned with me
That's true she really is beautiful oh God I think am having a hard on
Just then I heard her speak to someone on the phone, her mom and from the look of this she was insulting her,but all I heard was
We are not ready for a baby yet and will try my best. Are they forcing her to have a baby.
I remained silent and watched her struggle not to cry after receiving the call. It seems she was receiving going through a lot of stress already. I then decided to go back downstairs in order to avoid making her embarrassed
I then went to my room to process all I witnessed. I guess her life was not as rosy as I thought
