Sold to my crush

Alexander’s PoV

The sound of the engine came to a stop as I parked in the drive way of Martin’s house.

I had gone to Martin’s workplace and I was informed that he had already left for home and so here I was.

I got done from my car and stormed to the door. I rang the bell repeatedly losing my patience with every second that went by.

“Hi sweetie”. The door was finally pulled open revealing Mrs. King who flashed me a sweet smile. I had completely forgotten that Martin stays here with his Mum.

“Hi, Good evening. Is Martin in?”. I asked impatiently as I went straight to the purpose of me being here.

“No, honey. I haven’t seen him since he left for work”. She responded still smiling.

Where the hell was he?

“Why don’t you come in for some tea”. She asked pulling the door open wider, gesturing for me to come in.

“Oh, Thank you but I have to leave now”. I declined politely.

“Oh, alright. Is everything okay Son?”. She asked worriedly as she noticed my fuming state.

“Yes. I’ll be on my way now”. I said while walking back to my car.

I wonder where he was right now. I couldn’t wait to lay my hands on him.

Probably fucking your wife somewhere and having a good laugh about it.

An inner voice said.

I shrugged in disgust at the thought of it. I called Martin repeatedly and it all went to voicemail.

The voice in my head grew louder and laughed in my face.

I got into my car and started the engine, heading home.

If I couldn’t find Martin at his house then it’s best to check if Lily is at home. That way I would be able to tell if truly they were together or not.

I needed this to be false.

I got home on time record and hurriedly dashed into my room, looking for Lily.

She wasn’t there. I called out to her severally but I did not get any response. I looked around the house checking different rooms searching for her but it was futile.

“What are you doing?”. I bumped into my mum at the dinning area and she asked looking at me puzzled.

“Where is Lily?” I asked trying to compose my self as I put my hands into my pocket.

“I don’t know, I haven’t seen her today”. She replied in a bored tone.

The possibility that they were together agitated me further.

“Why are you searching for her?”. She asked surprised. Whenever I got home I just slept in the guest room without checking on Lily or anything of that sort. So my mum hearing that I was suddenly asking for Lily was truly shocking.

“What!!?” She screamed out. I had not given an answer. All I did was to shove the newspaper into her hands which caused this reaction.

“I always knew that she was a gold digging slut”. My mum said furious.

I simply ignored her as I repeatedly tried to reach Lily but her phone was switched off.

All this time spent with me not truly knowing what was going on between them kept me on the edge. I needed to see either of them now.

“What are we going to do Son. This is really bad”. My mum said as she sat down on a chair lost in her own thoughts.

“I don’t know mum”. I sighed tiredly.

“That little slut wants to ruin our family’s reputation. I won’t let her. Not under my watch”. She huffed and stormed out of the dinning room leaving me alone in my thoughts.

I moved to the sitting room and placed my self on the couch. I was going to sit here and wait for Lily, no matter how long. I need an explanation and I need it tonight.

Was she always like this?

Was she always home so late?, perhaps I didn’t notice since I barely checked.

For her today was just one of those days for her to do whatever she likes and come home whenever but unknowingly to her, today was different. Very very different.

******

The sound of the door opening jolted me awake. I squinted my eyes and stretched my limp bones. I guess that’s what I get for spending the night on my couch.

I wonder how I slept through the night because this couch was really uncomfortable.

I checked the time on my phone to see that it was a few minutes past eight in the morning and I needed to hurry if I wanted to make it to work on time.

I jumped up from the couch wide eyed only to to be met by Lily’s dull figure shutting the door.

I guess I was going to be late after all

All the activities that occurred yesterday came back into my memory and I frowned at her. Was she really just coming back home. By this time??

“Where the hell are you coming from?”. I spat out as I moved to stand in front of her.

She simply ignored my question and moved past me. This action irritated me and fueled my anger.

“Answer the damn question Lily”. I grabbed her arm harshly and pulled her back.

“Get your hands off me!!”. Lily practically screamed at me. I let go of her almost immediately in shock. I had never seen such fury in her eyes and now that I looked intently at her, I discovered that she looked like shit.

She had big bags under her eyes, her eyes were red and puffy as thought she had been crying and her hair a bit messy.

Was she okay? Or she just looked really fucked.

The voice in my head spoke loudly.

“What the hell were you doing with Martin and why are you coming back to your husband’s house by this time?” I grabbed her again, more harshly this time as I asked.

“My husband?”. She scoffed laughing mockingly.

“I don’t have time for this”. She roughly pulled her arm away and I winced internally at how red they looked now.

She simply ignored it or perhaps she wasn’t in so much pain as she walked out on me towards the stairs.

I hurriedly matched behind her as we got into the room.

“Lily we need to talk now”. I said as I took a seat on the bed and watched her. She was very quiet, maybe too quiet for my linking.

She moved around in the wardrobe, pulling out some clothes.

“Lily, I’m talking to you”. I asked boiling with rage. She couldn’t just cheat on me and still ignore me.

“Why the hell did Martin have his fucking hands on your waist”. I asked

“Shouldn’t that be a question for Martin. It was his hands not mine”. She shrugged nonchalantly as she moved into the bathroom locking it.

I sat there in shock at her response. What the hell was wrong with Lily. She had never spoken to me that way before. All these were really new and definitely pointing to her cheating on me.

Has she stopped loving me?

Was she now in love with Martin?

I know that I wasn’t ever in love with Lily and I do not think I would ever love her but the thought of her loving someone else doesn’t sit well with me.

The bathroom door opened after a while and Lily walked in an orange polo shirt and a black denim jean.

She moved around the room quietly as she put on her shoes and did her make up. I just sat there watching her, wondering where my Lily was cause this certainly wasn’t my wife.

“Why was your phone switched off yesterday?”. I asked more calmly this time.

“Because I forgot to charge it”. She replied causally.

The way she was behaving so nonchalant and providing careless answers causally irked me so much.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Are you sleeping with Martin”. I asked. Her head turned faster than a spinning machine. I feared that she might have broken a bone.

“What do you mean?” She asked irritated with furrowed brows.

“I mean are you fucking Martin”. I spat out as I stood in front of her.

“Of course not. What sort of degrading question is that”. She was fuming as she glared at me with rage but I wasn’t going to back down just like that.

“How sure could I be that you’re not whoring around”. I said and before I could even process what I said I felt a stinging pain on my cheek and my face twisted in pain.

“Don’t you dare ever call me a whore!!”. Lily had given me a resounding slap that hurt like a bitch. I’m so sure my face would be swollen and red by now. She had screamed with fury and tears in her eyes.

Fuck!!!

The room was silent as she hurriedly gathered some things. I just watched her quietly not knowing what else to say or do.

“Do you love Martin?”. I finally blurted out the question that had been bugging me ever since. She was already at the door and it looked like she was going somewhere. My heart twisted at the thought of her going back to Martin.

“Do I?, I guess we’ll never know.” She smirked at me before walking out of the door.

I sat there pondering on her words. I needed to do something and I needed to act fast else I would loose my reputation and Lily, all at once because of that bastard.
