A Married Mans Pawn

Chapter 1

^^Her husband Chase

Nicolette

"Hunny lets go!" Chase yelled as he stood at the bottom of the stairs. He was wearing his most expensive suit with his golden cuff links with his hair slicked back as usual.

I knew this because this was our normal routine for when we went to parties or even ever left the house together. I avoided going for as long as possible and he just stood there and yelled at me from the bottom of the stairs, not even bothering to come and check on me.

I on the other hand was still in our bedroom getting ready to go to this dreaded dinner he had me going to. Just another stupid scam charity that people can take pictures of rich people at and make the look good.

I sighed as I put in my first earring. "Just a moment." I replied, barely loud enough for him to hear as I finished clicking my large silver hoop in place and than quickly started to slip the second one into my piercing.

I signed as I looked at myself in the mirror and saw how overly glamorous I looked.

I picked up my small clutch and than exited the room, turning off the light as I left. Chase scared me sometimes. I was afraid of what he'd do if I didn't listen and he got overly angry. One time he got so angry that he almost hit me but stopped his swing and than instead, turned and slammed his fist into the nearby wall.

I "love" him but he can still scare me? Great life I live huh?

I walked down our long set of stairs to the main floor and saw Chase had dressed differently today. He didn't have on a tie like he usually did, instead his shirt was unbuttoned and his chest was slightly exposed. And instead of his hair being slicked back, it was more flipped to the side and than gelled in place to give it a more normal and natural look.

Guess he's trying to pick up another mistress.

Men.

And, yeah I know, he cheats on me. Well occasionally if he gets drunk enough. I've know it for awhile actually. It never really hurt me. I never actually loved him in the first place. But I don't want to have kids with him. I just can't. Thats why he's cheated on me, to release what my mother calls "a sexual tension."

"Took you long enough." He mumbled as he walked towards the front door and waved his hand, our butler which I hated having, Gerald, opened the door as Chase began to saunter out. I quickly followed him but stopped to say a quick thanks to Gerald.

Gerald was only a young boy, maybe around 20 years old. We've had him working for us since last year. He needed a job and this was sadly the only one he could get. Working for a rich snob and his wife.

He wasn't as strong as Chase, but he did look similar in facial features to someone I used to know, except Gerald's hair was a dark and gleaming black and his eyes a light and mysterious grey.

Gerald closed the doors behind me and I quickly walked out to the car waiting for me. The door was already open, the driver was holding it open for me. I smiled and nodded my head in thanks as I slid in. The driver quickly shut the door before running back to the drivers seat.

I sighed as I leaned back into the seat. my clutch held tightly into my hand as I fiddled with the zipper, flipping it over and over and over.

Tonight was already long and it hasn't even begun yet.
