Happily Ever Never!?!

CHAPTER 7: I'm sorry....Please....

PENNY

I'm not sure exactly in how to explain about what happened last night. It was weird but, I'm just glad that we didn't go to sleep mad at each other. 

Then this morning when I woke up, I took a shower after rolling over and noticing he wasn't next to me. 

When I opened up the bathroom door in my towel, I gasped as I jumped back a little bit when I saw Cade sitting down on the bed with his head in his hands before looking up at me. 

"You scared me." I smiled. "What's the matter?" I ask after noticing a worried look upon his face. 

"Can you please sit down?" He asks. 

"Okay." I reply worried while I walk over and slowly take a seat next to him. 

"Baby, I'm so sorry but, that new client that I have? He's actually an old acquaintance. We used to know each other a couple years before I bought the club that you and I met at for the first time. Then the year before I met you, him and I had a fallout. Things ended badly and now he wants me to....." I stopped him right there. 

"Let me guess, he wants you to work for him." I interrupt. 

"Yeah. Trust me, I don't want to do this but..." 

"Then don't. We talked about this and how you would never go back to that life." I tell him while standing up abruptly feeling pissed off. 

"I'm trying. I've been trying, no thanks to you!" I snap at her.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask him. 

"Don't act like you don't know what the hell I'm talking about. You're the reason I have the clientele that I do!" 

"What?!" I snapped. "The clients you have now are ones that you yourself had gotten. I had nothing to do with that. And where the hell did you get that stupid idea from? Oh no, wait, let me guess, Mr. Big Client." I say the last part in a deep tone trying to mock a man's voice. 

"Are you saying it's NOT true?" He asks me. 

"Of course I am! How could you believe him over me? You're fucking wife?!" 

"Because of this..." He says while shaking his head 'no' in disbelief as he pulls out a few printouts of some EMAIL's and tosses them onto the bed. "So much for honesty! The next time you give me shit, you better sure as hell check yourself first!" He snaps at me. 

I quickly pick up the papers and start trying to read them as fast as I can. They look to be from a couple of the people he has been doing jobs for and who seem to have sent him EMAIL's about 'fake' conversations supposedly that were between me and whoever these guys are in how I have supposedly been paying them on the side to keep giving Cade business. Yes, it shows it's from my EMAIL and yes, it shows snapshots of checks that have my signature on them but I never did any of that. Somebody obviously has hacked into my account and is setting me up. 

"I swear...." I look up to try and explain myself but he isn't in front of me anymore and I hear him peeling out of the driveway. 

I quickly call up Jeff and Silvia to come and watch Charlie while I try and explain to Cade in what's going on. 

After getting dressed and giving instructions to them both in what to give Charlie and to of course call me if anything happens, then I get in my car and start heading over towards his work site. 

I can't believe any of this is happening. It all seems too surreal. 

When I pull up to the site and see all his guys working, I quickly run into his trailer office there and see him on the phone at his desk. He quickly hangs up the phone and starts clenching his jaw while I catch my breath. 

"Cade I know what this looks like, but I swear on my life that I never..." I tried to explain but he stopped me. 

"Just stop. I never thought that after everything we've been through and how hard I've been trying to be good enough for you, I still seem to fall short." He says while getting up and putting his phone in his back pocket and then grabbing some construction goggles and his hard hat and gets up to start walking towards the door. 

"Please don't say that. You are more than enough. I swear, I will prove it to you that someone is trying to set me up." I start crying. "I'm sorry, I love you, please." 

"I can't right now. I just can't, I've got to go to work." He says and then walks out the door. 

I have to find a way to prove to him I never wrote those or made any of those deals. And something I have to do is find out in who the hell this new client of his is. 

 Next chapter will be posted soon! :)     

Will he listen to her even if she finds proof? Is it Sterling that sent those Email's? Or is it someone else?
