Consequences

Grayson

"Cancel my today's schedule, Lisa," I say to my secretary standing up from my office chair. She nods as I walk out straight into the private lift I have set in my office. I press the button and the lift starts doing its task, hurling me out in the basement. Going to my car, I unlock it and after switching the engine on, drive to my house.

I smirk as the idea plays itself in my mind.

So, lately, I have decided to move in with Ella. This way I'll be closer to her and I'll use every chance I get to ask for her forgiveness. I'll do whatever it takes to make her trust me again and give us another chance.

In about 15 minutes, I am at my place rushing to pack a bunch of clothes, some important files with some documents and my laptop. The moment I'm done I head out to my car and drive to Ella's.

I'm making effort here. I really hope she lets me in. Her words from replays in my mind from last week when I was at her place. I know she said she doesn't love me, that she doesn't trust me and that she won't forgive me but I love her and I'll do whatever I can to get her back, to get us back.

Holding my duffel bag in my left hand, I knock on Ella's door with my right. I hear some shuffling sounds followed by Ella opening the door, wearing her favourite grey crop hoodie - yes, don't be judgmental, I remember that, I remember everything about her - with white jeans, her long hair piled up in a messy bun.

Her signature smile falls when she sees me and crosses her arms, "What do you want now?" She clenches her jaw.

She'd always looked hot when she's angry. I smirk, "That's not the way to greet someone, especially if it's your husband."

"So, you are here to remind me the rights of a husband, I take it?" She mocks smiling viciously, emphasising on the word 'you'.

Damn.

I raise my hand that's holding the duffel bag, "That and I'm moving in with you." Her eyes widen as she takes in my words and vigorously shakes her head, "No. No, You can't."

The look of worry and uneasiness in her eyes makes me ask, "Why not?"

"Because... because.... we are getting a divorce," she stutters.

Why is she so edgy all of a sudden?

"Are you okay?" I ask, clueless due to her sudden change in behaviour. She rolls her eyes nodding her head once. And her fiesty side is back. Applause.

"Well, we haven't divorced yet. So, I'm moving in with you," I smirk.

"I'll call the police," her threat makes me laugh. "And tell them what, your dear husband is invading your house?" I say still laughing.

"You can't," She repeats, her voice stern. "Why? What are you hiding?" I ask suspiciously.

Is she... is she... no that can't be true. She can be everything but she won't cheat on me. Never.

I shake the thought away and look at her as she seems to be contemplating over her response.

"Is this a joke to you?" her outburst catches me off guard but I still stand my ground, "I'm moving in.... And no one's stopping me," I state using my calm intimidating voice, which I know works on everyone, and smugly walk past her making my way to the living room.
