Right after I can home from Andrew's work. I don't how or when I fell asleep because the sound of my phone ringing woke me up. I groaned as I climbed off the bed.

I glanced at the alarm clock and I grabbed the phone. Almost midnight? When did that happen?

How did I sleep so much? I've never slept this much my entire life.

More importantly, where is Andrew?

My mind thought about what happened hours ago, from discovering that my husband kept his work relation with his ex a secret, buying the pregnancy test, and throwing up at my boss, maybe all of that exhausted me into deep sleep or maybe....

I stared at the top drawer that hid the pregnancy test.

I erased the possibility of what the test may or may not be and decide to answer the phone.

Chad Henderson? I gazed at the name that appears on the screen.

"H-Hello, Mr. Henderson?"

Through the phone, he greeted me and then went straight to the point.

And I listened to all that he had to say such as how essential and beneficial for Andrew to remain in the project that included Emily. And that it will bring great fortune to us all.

And then spoke. "What do you want me to do?"

"I just need you to persuade him to complete the project with Emily."

I sighed. I personally don't care if Andrew continues to work with her.

I just want her to keep her hands to herself.

He then added. "Just a few more months, Linda. And then she will be out before you know it."

"I don't know, Mr. Henderson. I believe this matter that should be discussed with your son."

I knew how Andrew disliked when his father criticizes the way he works. Maybe this was a bad idea having this talk with my father in law.

"I'm sure you know how stubborn my son can be. He has already work hard in this projects and now all his hard work will going in vain if he backs away from it. If he allows his personal views to get the best of him. I'm sure you don't want that, Linda." he claims.

My father in law had his way with words, especially when it came business.

I sighed, "... I will think about it, Mr. Henderson."

After I finished speaking on the phone with my father in law. I went downstairs and to watch television.

I selected Own TV and Greenleaf was on the screen, so I sat back and got comfortable to enjoy the show.

My phone buzzed again and again, I gave in check my phone and more text messages that I've ignored from Andrew displayed pleading that he was sorry for what he had done.

And that he loved me, and he wanted to come home. I shrug, and put the phone down and went back to watch the show. Twenty minutes later, I heard footsteps approaching and went to see whom it belonged too.

"Hi," he says as he took of his shoes.

I crossed my arms and glared at me.

"Well hello to you too, Linda," he shrugs.

"Is this payback, Andrew?"

My husbands shake his head. "And I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Because Nathan was flirty around with me and now you want to do this to me?"

He sighed, "Look, I don't-"

"A-And now you're with her!"

"With who?"

He comes towards me, "The only woman I'm with is you-"

"Emily, Emma, doesn't matter. You're with her!"

"For work, she is only my client. Nothing else."

I asked, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I knew you would react this way," he rubbed the back of his neck.

I sighed, maybe he is right. But still... "You left me in the dark. It doesn't matter how I would-"

"As you did with Nathan situation. So we are even," he smirked and pulls me closer.

We stood there gazing at each other he then leans in to kiss me. I pulled away because I was not in the mood for pillow talk.

"I've never had relations with Nathan in the past. So, no Andrew Clark Henderson. We are not even."
