Tricia sat in the living room and pretended to be watching movie when she heard him, come back to the living room

'Ehm I prepared dinner will you be interested, I know you said you weren't going to eat but I just--

OK where is it?' he said cutting her off

Come to the dinning room let me serve you' she said and happily went to serve him she had made spaghetti with sausage
served him and sat at the other side of the table to eat, they eat in awkward silence before he spoke

I will be traveling to Spain on business next week and after which we will be going to visit my parents on my return'

Would you like to ---- I -- mean -- I would be going for my sister's wedding next month my mom expects you to be there but I will --- understand if you won't be able to make it'

'I will think about it'

Thanks. She ate her food, washed their dishes and they went their separate ways to their rooms
Gabe sat on his bed and thought on how she seemed uneasy just to tell him about her sister's wedding, he then shook his head and said it might be a plot to ensure me I must be careful
Tricia slept happily because he decided to eat with her. And was glad that she was making progress
Although the next few days made it seem like she had lost whatever impact she thought she had made as he once again refused to eat her food
On Saturday, she was wondering what to do when her friend Evelyn came around

'' girl what's up''

Evelyn am so happy to see you God have missed you' she said and hugged her

have missed you too' she said and hugged her before adding you just became scarce after your wedding'

I know right am so sorry didn't mean for that to happen'

Is this how much you are enjoying your home' Evelyn said and noticed her smile falter

'okay girl you need to spill what's up?' Tricia then explained everything to her and

she said
'Tricia I understand everything you have said and all I can tell you is to be patient with him,he is scared to live and once he detects any negative behavior from you he is bound to be suspicious patience is the key'

OK thanks Evelyn but there are times I wish he will open up to me'

It takes time to do that, OK enough sulking let's get ourselves out of her and go party like crazy have called the girls and they have agreed let's go'

What!!! I can't' Evelyn rolled her eyes and pushed her into the room
'go change we are going out now'

Gabe finished late but didn't feel like going home hence he went with his friend to a club,  he was talking with him when he saw a familiar figure pass by him. He turned around to see his wife dressed in a body hugging gown and dancing like crazy.  He was so shocked and angry although he didnt know why. He had never seen her this carefree she was always uptight is she cheating on me but he noticed she was only dancing with some girls he then decided to watch, when his friend tapped him

'gabe are you OK'

Uhn yes am OK sorry what were you saying' he said although his attention remained on his wife
Tricia was drunk and she didn't care she only want to let loose all inhibitions tonight, but whenever a guy came close she would move away as she didn't want to have any scandals coming up.  She began to feel tired and hence went to sit and informing her friends
A man came and sat beside her ''hi beautiful my name is Alex I noticed you dancing the other time and I decided to come over and introduce myself what's your beautiful name?
' it's Tricia'
'Tricia that's such a beautiful name's
'thank you 'she said and smiled nervously
'can I get your number?'
'no am married'
Oh my bad sorry I didn't know you don't look it but still it doesn't matter we can still be friends'he said and started coming closer, she was scared and was trying to get the attention of her friends but they were busy laughing.  She then smiled and got up when he pulled her back and tried to kiss her . An unexpected blow landed on his face and she screamed and  looked up to see her husband looking at Alex with pure Rage on his face. Before saying,

'stay away from my wife let's go' He said to her and left the tide home was silent and on getting home she spoke up

'am sorry'

'for what precisely? Your foolishness in going to a club in the first place, getting drunk and almost harassed or forgetting that you are the wife of a billionaire which one? I expected better of you but what's with this sudden weird behavior? Are you angry am ignoring you or what? Let's behave better from now on'

'am sorry' she said before running to her room and breaking down in tears

Gabe went to his own room like a deflated ball and sank to his bed
'what is wrong with me why did I feel so angry when he was taking to her' it must be because she is my wife that's all Gabe get yourself together this isn't you'
