HEALED ME

Chapter Thirty One

Matthew's P.O.V

Everything with Josie was going on perfect. I invited her to a few dates,we would kiss,sleep in the same bed but nothing more than that. My children adored her. They were so happy and I couldn't ask for more. Work was fine a little hectic but atleast the thought of going home to Josie and the children simplified everything.

"Excuse me ma'am ,but you cannot go in there",I heard Lynda scream from the other end of my door cutting my thoughts off.

As I stood up to see what was causing the commotion,my door burst open and the devil herself entered.

"Hey baby,I can't believe Lynda didn't want to let me in",Marion said as she rounded to my side of the table.

"What do you want,Marion?,I said through gritted teeth making my irritation obvious.

"Come on baby,Is that how you treat your woman,the mother of your.....",she dared to speak trying to run a finger on my chest.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence. You ceased to be their mother and my woman the moment you abandoned us and left. We are so happy without you. Why come back to ruin that?",I said angrily.

"But I said I was sorry. I want to be a mother to my chi....."she said fakeness evident in her voice.

"I told you not to call them yours. They are my children.",I cut her off .

"Is it because of that bitch.. Huh,what's her name,Josie right. Is it because of her. Baby come on, she is a good for nothing ,worthless,ugly,gold dig..."she said before I cut her off.

If at first I was angry,now I was furious,"Shut up,Marion. You have no right to speak about her or even pass her name through your filthy mouth. Now please leave or I will call security",I said as I tried to keep my growing urge to hit her.

"No need for that baby,I was just leaving but before I leave,I have a gift for you",she said as she came close to me, real close.

And before I could process what she wanted to do,her lips slammed onto mine. I was shocked as I realised what was actually happening,and started pushing Marion away from me,the door to my office opened.

"Hi Matt,I.....",Josie said then she saw the compromising position me and Marion were in.

"Its not what you think ,Josie. I swear nothing was happening. I..She...we...",I panicked as I pushed Marion away from me and rushed to Josie's side.

She had tears that were threatening to fall. I stretched my hands to hug her but she turned and left without a word. I felt my world crumbling down. I had destroyed the only person that mattered to me and my children. What was I going to tell them. I didn't want to lose Josie.

"Baby,she is not worth your tears. I knew you still had a thing for me. Atleast she will be gone from our lives."Marion had the audacity to speak.

I wiped my tears,turned around,grabbed her wrist,she winched in pain but I didn't care. I dragged her and her belongings to the elevator. She kept screaming that I was hurting her but my heart was aching more after what Josie had witnessed. I didn't know how I was going to explain everything. I don't know whether she would listen to me.

I threw Marion out of my building and instructed security never to let her step foot in the building ever again or they would be fired. Marion kept shouting profanities, threatening that all was not over and she would be back but all I wanted was to go home and find Josie. And make everything right with her.

Josie's P.O.V

I was home with Quisha when I received a message from an unknown number,
Unknown:Hey beautiful,how about lunch with me? Meet me at my office.
Love,
Matthew.
