Albert's POV

I groaned upon entry, I was rather close to breaking my foot over an unknown object. So Claire thought it would be ideal to have this placed in complete darkness?

I'm not sure if that was done to keep the monsters out or let them in. I glared at the object in the dark, the lights going on immediately to reveal a box filled with what Claire considered junk.

Maybe the object being here was intentional. Once again I growled.

I glanced around to find the house completely cleaned. I stared at the pistol raised in my direction, blue eyes staring at me wildly.

"Pleasant evening" I stated firmly, Claire resembling an angry cat. One that would scratch me from all directions anytime soon.

Then again bullets were now her claws.

"It is now midnight or should I say a new day?" She hissed, me cocking a brow.

Indeed.

Kicking the box aside I stared straight at her. What was she insinuating?

"Well if it should make you feel any better, pleasant morning Claire" I added after a grimance, Claire gripping my arm before I could walk by her.

She received a firm glare and I received a sour one.

"Where the fuck were you?" Claire yelled, my eyes quite wide. Well I would beg her pardon but sadly I was the man who begged nothing.

"Have you forgotten your place?" I asked firmly as my fist shook at my side. I really needed help controlling my temper because a wife that feared me was the last thing I needed.

Even if she pushed each and every one of my buttons.

"I know my place Wesker because I'm the woman who will bear your last name soon. Now where the fuck were you?" She continued.

"The last time I checked I wasn't an infant Claire" was my truthful reply.

"And the last time I checked lips were designed to communicate but you haven't been doing that lately right?" She carried on bitterly.

"Did I not say I was leaving while you ate breakfast?" I asked equally pissed.

"Yes you did but the where and with whom was left our of it" Claire said.

"Simply because it mattered not" I added in a flat tone.

"Clearly you've been..." But she wasn't allowed to finish because I finished for her.

"Training" was my one worded reply as I mounted the stairs stiffly. As expected the stubborn redhead I was in love with followed me.

"Wesker I slept two nights in an empty bed!" She yelled while I unlocked the door of my study calmly, Claire entering without invitation.

Typical women.

"Hadn't you been doing that for a month now?" I hissed, Claire not quite pleased with my reply.

"That's not the point Wesker!" She yelled and I could tell that she was loosing it.

"Would you kindly refrain from persuit?" I asked kindly as an argument was the last thing I needed.

A fight is the last thing I needed.

"No, I won't! I can't!" She yelled and I simply sat around my desk, being that biology defined Claire a woman it made no sense trying to get her shut up.

I would only charge her batteries.

What would I do? Well that was quite simple, I wouldn't satisfy her thirst for an argument.

"Marriage is about communication Wesker! If we can't communicate now without someone throwing a tantrum how will our marriage even work?" She asked as I relaxed with my eyes fixed on her as opposed to the monitor before me.

"Did I not tell you I was leaving?" I asked solemnly.

"That's besides the point, I have no idea where you went..." She trailed off but my eyes fell to my monitor.

It fell there and froze.

What the?

The date and time on this footage read earlier today. Or should I say yesterday being that it was midnight?

While I was away this gave the perfect opportunity and I like a fool begun to trust this man. Trust that he would never make such an attempt.

I clenched my fist, the woman on screen moving into the kiss with heated passion. My face twitched, the video being paused as I stared blankly.

Anger...oh I was close to it indeed. Pain...wasn't far from it.

I lit a cigarette, my eyes now lifted to take in Claire who babbled nonsense.

"Do enlighten me" I asked as I sat with my legs wide, Claire's eyes now wide.

"Is this some sick joke to you?!" She yelled but I was the one who felt like the fucking joke.

"I want to hear you" was all I said calmly.

"I thought you didn't want to talk" Claire uttered and that's when I lost it, me standing immediately. I turned the monitor to her roughly, my teeth bared in aggression.

"Indeed Claire, let's fucking talk. about what's been going on in my house behind my back!" I yelled.

Claire's small hands met her lips the moment I played the video. Her eyes shifted to me.

"Wesker I..." But she did not get the chance to finish because while I refrained from the action temptation was rather strong and I grabbed her throat.

"You what Claire? Accuse me for what you are guilty of?" I asked and Claire swallowed harshly.

"He kissed me" was her great defense, my hold on her tightening.

"It matters not who kissed whom, you embraced the fucking scenario Claire!" I yelled as I punched the wall next to her head.

"As if you didn't do the same damn thing?" She asked and I freed her, amber eyes fixed on the woman before me.

"You can ask Ada and Miguel that question, this was their stupid idea either way!" I yelled as I tossed the box with a jewelry set to the floor.

The tickets for our reservation at a restaurant followed.

"Get out" was all I could say in a voice I could barely recognize.

She left in silence.
