The Overly Possessive Wife

A bothering suspicion

Lurking in the dark like a thief in the night, she tries to blend in with the curtain to hide her presence in the bedroom, and when the coast is clear she slowly emerged from her hiding place. With her heart running wildly in her chest, she tiptoed her way to the study table and grabs her husband’s phone, then frantically browses his text messages and checks his phone calls. Seeing nothing suspicious, she places the phone back to the table and as she turns around, there stands her husband with a quizzical look on his face.

 Blood starts rushing to her face, she starts to fidget and mindlessly crushes the onions in her hands making the juice slowly drip causing a mess on the table as messy as the thoughts in her brain. –“What if he is already talking to one of those girls and he is actually enjoying it. This can’t happen, he is only mine and mine to keep! That conniving bitch, why can’t she find her own man?”

At that exact moment, she sees her husband slowly descending from the stairs with his eyes shining with delight. Warily, she looks at her husband trying to look for changes, for something that will strengthen her suspicions, for something that will actually give her more reason to find the facts. In a frenzy, she started devising a plan in her head….
