Macy's POV
"Babe..."
"Babe... get off me..."
"Oliver!!! Some people actually needs to go to work!!!"
I was trying to get out of bed but Oliver won't let me.
"Just call in sick...let's stay in bed a bit longer." Oliver pleaded.
"I can't. It's too late now. I've got booked consultations, you know." I explained.
"You don't really need to work." He rebutted.
I hated that last phrase.
"So, should I stay home and look after you and our kids? Pick up dirty clothes on the floor? I'm not a slave." I snapped at him.
"Whoa... whoa... calm down... What kids and dirty clothes? Since you lived with me, have you picked up any dirty clothes? For the record, it was your sweaty and dirty gym clothes that I had to pick up from the floor."
Oliver's honesty sometimes infuriates me.
"You are missing my point. I love what I'm doing and I am not planning to stop doing the things I love doing. Such as my job." I was really getting annoyed.
"Baby, just for today. Let's stay home please???"
I gave up.
I called the hospital and told them that I was feeling under the weather and was taking a sick leave. I probably have a lot of sick leaves anyway because I seldom use them.
I went back to bed.
"If we were really married, would you really ask me to give up my job?" I looked at Oliver straight on his eyes.
"The last time I checked, we are married."
"You didn't answer my question, Oliver. Would you ask me to give up everything?"
Oliver took my hand and kissed it.
"I won't ask anything that will make you unhappy."
I doubt that. We are only married for a short while and here I am taking a sick day from work because he asked me to.
"What if our 1 year runs out and we still won't work?"
"Baby, we will cross that bridge when we get there."Â Said the playing safe Oliver.
Cross the bridge my ass! He always likes to give safe answers. I needed more than crossing a bridge! How can I trust him when he doesn't even have a long term plan. He says he loves me but his actions says otherwise.
And why did I ever got drunk at Vegas again????!!!!!
Today has been really slow. I think we got out of bed at 10:30. Lucky for Oliver because he could work from home. He made phone calls here and there. I feel sorry for his secretary.
"Babe, let's go for a bush walk. I'm getting sick looking at these four walls." I told Oliver.
"Aren't you suppose to be sick? It's a sick day." He said with a laugh.
"I really shouldn't have listened to you." I felt defeated.
"Baby, I'm just going to finish this then we'll go okay?! Time is money."
I honestly, shouldn't have listened to him this morning.
Oliver's POV
I didn't want Macy going to work today. It's an important day. We have reached a milestone. We survived a whole month without killing each other. That's why I insisted on her staying home.
We had a great start this morning. We cuddled. We kissed. And we made love. Then Macy started asking difficult questions that I honestly don't have any answers. Does she think I know everything? Didn't she realized that it is my first time too?
I've had my fair share of flings and one night stands but I haven't had any serious relationship until I met her. It wasn't a part of my plan to actually fall in love but I did somehow. How am I suppose to know everything? Is it so hard to understand that just like her, I am still figuring it out too?
She asked if we could go bushwalking. I told her to wait a bit but she started acting like a brat.
My video conference ended.
"Baby..."
I called Macy while I was shutting my laptop down.
"Baby!!!"
Still no answer.
I got up and went to the bedroom to check.
"Baby, where are you?"
I checked the media room. I checked the balcony. I checked everywhere but I couldn't find her.
Where did she go? I dialed her number but her phone was turned off.
Macy's POV
While I was waiting for Oliver I went back to the bedroom. I was going to fix his disorganized wardrobe. I started picking up stuff on the floor. Folded some of his clothes when I noticed an envelop hidden in his shoe drawers. Out of curiousity, I opened it.
The first thing I saw was a photo of my younger self. I felt happy because I thought how sweet of Oliver keeping old photos of me. I turned to the next page then I saw other informations about me. My birthday, my graduation and a photo of my family. My heart started beating so fast I couldn't breath. Oliver had information about my dad and his company. About all his contracts and who he deals with. Names of ports. Then the last page stunned me. I saw a diagram that's obviously in Oliver's handwriting. It was a shitty diagram. I didn't get it at first. I took a look at it again and then it came to me.
The bastard has been planning this all along so he could get to my dad's company!!!! What a liar and a user!!!! I'm feeling so stupid and disgusted at my self for sleeping with a monster who would do anything to get what he wanted.
I shove the folder back in the drawer. I went out of the bedroom. Oliver still had his earphones on.
I went back in the bedroom. Picked up my phone, my car keys and my wallet. I took the wedding ring off and left it on the bedside table.
I walked slowly in a tiptoe. I opened the door and run towards the elevator. My adrenaline was pumping. I could hear my heart's thundering beat.
I can't stay here and I don't wanna have anything to do with Oliver ever again!
I got in my car as quickly as I could. Where am I going? What am I going to do? I was going to call Grace but I'm sure Oliver will manage to get in contact with her.
I drove my car not knowing where to go.
I was going to go to my apartment but that would be where Oliver would go first to find me.
I saw a sign that I was 5km away from a beach. I followed the sign. I need to stop. I need to gather myself and try to think rationally.
I turned to the next exit then I started to see the shore. And as I was getting nearer, the shoreline got longer and longer. I found a space where I could park my car. When I turned my car's engine off, that's when it all came down on me.
My chest felt heavy. It felt like it was being ripped apart into tiny little pieces. I could see Oliver laughing in my head. Tears started rolling on my face. How could Oliver do this to me? What have I done to him to deserve this.
I sat in my car for a while crying silently. Regretting everything.
Oliver's POV
After a while of trying to figure out where Macy was, I suddenly had a bad feeling. I felt that something was wrong.
I quickly ran to the walk in wardrobe. I checked my shoe drawer and my suspicion was right! She had found it. She had found the secret that I had been keeping from her.
But I was planning to tell her the truth. I was waiting for the right time. I have tried so many times to tell her but I just couldn't find the words. I was too scared that something like this would happen. I thought that loving her and more was enough reason for her to stay with me.
What am I going to do now?
I need to find Macy. I need to explain. I can't lose her....
