8 Set up

"I told you, I don't have much time here. I have to go" Martin pushed her away and tried to go out but was pulled back by the woman

"Ali, come down… Le…" before he could say anything, his lips were captured aggressively. He tried to stop but he didn't. Before he knew it, he was immersed in the sensation and took control of the situation. He turned her and tore her clothes throwing them on the floor.

Well, just as he was ready to continue, the door to the bedroom was kicked open from outside

Evelyn walked in. There was clear anger in her eyes. She stopped Mercy from coming in. No matter what, the guy before her was her husband and showing him a bit of respect kicked in. she didn't want to embarrass him before her friend. It's okay to say she didn't want to embarrass herself before her friend.

Ali gave a smirk before jumping from under Martin. He still had his trouser on. He was so stupefied about the emergence of his wife that he still stood there looking at her

"Honey… what are you doing here!?" that's the first thing that come to his mind when he saw her. Then it hit him. He was caught in the act, "look darling, it's not what it seems like. I came to end things with her…. And… she"

"Please, spare me the pretense Martin. We talked about this today. It didn't take long for you to go back to her arms. I warned you." Eve walked to them slowly like a queen in her military attire. Her face, aura and composure showed she could do anything at that moment

" … Its not what it looks like…. Let's go home and talk." Martin walked towards her trying to pull her away from the room. She shook her hand off him and pushed him away, "don't you dare touch me." She glared angrily at him. It that moment he wasn't the powerful governor, but a husband caught in an affair. He had to humble himself before his wife. If there was something he was afraid of losing is her. At least at the moment

"… Martin Mayor! Do you think I am a fool?' That was the first time since they got married she shouted at him angrily. She looked like a person that could explore any moment. He was stunned for a moment before he walked to her again

"Darling, I am sorry about this but it did not happen as it looks. She wanted to have me for the last time… she promised to stop if I do that. I didn't want to but she pulled me in and fell on her." He tried to explain the whole situation but the more he did that he looked like a fool.

It's like finding your soul in a different body and you start saying I am someone else. You will seem crazy and end up in an asylum.

"Martin… Darling… Don't leave me alone. You promised to end things with her" Ali the mistress started crying at that moment. Evelyn looked at her and smirked. She heard everything that happened in the room from the sitting room. She knew her husband tried to end things and the woman suggested stupid things. She was smart and she knew it was a setup for Martin

She wondered how stupid Martin could be to fall for her traps.

"Shut up woman! Do you know what a mess you have created in my life? I have been tolerant because I once loved you and was afraid to lose my wife." Martin turned to the woman on the bed covered in sheet and cursed at her. He was too angry to care about the years they had been together

"Matt! I love you" the woman cried even bitterly but he didn't budge. Eve stood at the side and watched the show. It was hilarious to see the adulterous couples fight. The woman on the bed turned to look at Eve, "he doesn't love you. He is only using you for his career. He said he is going to leave you as soon as he ascend to presidency…"

"Shut it… don't you dare provoke me. I'll do something you will not believe…. I have had enough with you. From this moment, don't cross my path. You will regret it" Martin threatened his poor lover without batting an eye. It was like everything they had for all those years was nothing when compared to his career. Yes his career. His wife was an important card he held for his career.

" wow… what a show" Eve clapped looking at the two turning on each other. Martin had almost forgot his wife was in the room and showed his true self. He was a cruel man who would do anything to get what he wanted and end anyone standing on his way to success. Those thoughts rose a red flag in her mind

She had to be careful with the man

Even still…. She played it cool

She walked to the big window and opened it wide. The curtains were already drawn. Cool air entered the room blowing her long hair as it passed her. The night was still early but the different lighting in the city looked beautiful. The sky was bright with stars and a half moon shining its way up. It was beautiful but at that moment she was sad.

She smiled turning to the two people in the room.

" What do think would be tomorrow's topic…. If I jumped down this window from the 18th floor?"

"Don't do anything stupid. It hasn't come to that… please darling. Let's talk about everything" Martin was terrified with just the thought of his wife jumping off a hotel suite.

"Would it be? Let me guess" what baffled them all was the look in her face. She wasn't smiling, wasn't stiff at all. She looked like someone who was just curious about what would happen. She looked like some who was talking to herself. Voicing out her thoughts loud. She held her chin coming up with several topics before she came up with what seem to be perfect topic to her. There was sparkle in her eyes as if she found what has been missing for a long time.

'Wife caught husband and mistress in a hotel room having an affair. To keep things silent, the two adulterers jointly pushed the wife out the window"

She walked backwardly towards the window in an attempt to jump.
