Chapter 82
Anna's POV
I couldn't summon up the courage to call mother as Tony suggested until this morning. I apologized to
her and she said nothing. I tried calling her again to ask if she is home so I can visit her before Tony
comes to pick me up but her number wasn't going through.
I gave up after a while and spent time with Lily. I fed and bathed her myself before going to get ready
for my date. I hope nothing will disrupt my date today, unlike yesterday. I also hope Tony won't ask me
anything concerning the apology.
I take my time to look good tonight. I put the Lavender dress over my head, after rubbing the lotion on
my body and wearing my pants and bra. The dress flowed below my feet and I put on diamond earrings
with a matching necklace.
I put on light make-up and wear strappy diamond heels. The horn of the car outside notifies me of
Tony's presence. He is always right on time. I feel there is no need for a purse, so I pick up my phone
only and stroll out.
He isn't outside today, he is inside the car, behind the wheels. I didn't bother to tell Tania bye, I know
she will only roll her eyes in reply. She doesn't like Tony, she says.
I smile at Tony and he reciprocates before coming out to open the car door for me.
"Good evening, beauty", he pecks my hand.
"Good evening, handsome", I chuckle. He closes the door and goes over to the driver's seat. He jumps
in and pulls out of the driveway.
I am delighted and optimistic about tonight's date. I am hoping it will end well. I didn't know when Aidan
came back last night from God knows where and I didn't see him this morning either.
"I thought the lady that came out to meet me last night was your mother, not until I saw the other
woman and the resemblance between you too", He points out. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
I know he must be talking about Tania. I laugh shortly. "She was the one you met at the hospital. How
can you forget her face so soon?"
"Really?" He opens his eyes wide. "I never knew she was the one."
"Maybe it's because it was dark", I say.
"Yeah, probably." He shrugs.
"How was your day?" He looks surprised that I am asking about his day.
He smiles. "It was great and yours?"
"Fine. Hope work wasn't stressful today?"
"Yeah, I had to leave early because of our date", he tells me.
"Oh!" I rest my head on the seat and look out of the window after watching him for a while. I am
thinking of what plans he has for the future and if he wants to be married too someday.
I am hoping that I will be free from this prison called marriage by the time Tony is ready to settle down. I
want a glamorous proposal and a simple wedding. I am hoping this man before me will give me that. I
am also hoping for a happy marriage.
"Here we are", he pulls over.
I am surprised we are here already. I look out and notice the restaurant is different from the one he took
me to the day before.
I am amazed at the kind of person Tony is. He must have figured out that taking me to that restaurant
will bring back the memories of what happened yesterday and the day will not go well again.
I am glad he brought me here. I want to forget my sorrows for once and simply enjoy my life. I want to
let go of my worries and enjoy this first date in a lifetime with Tony. I want to let go of the hurt I have
been experiencing ever since I gave Cameron a chance in my life. I want to use this date to get to
know more about Tony so I can assure myself that I am safe with him and I can have a future with him.
I also want to know if my secret won't let him hate me forever when I eventually tell him. He is quite
understanding but I have no idea what he will think of me when he gets to know he is dating a married
woman who has a child with the man she is married to.

Aiden's POV
I have no idea why I came home early today. Maybe it's because I want to know if Anna will be home
today again or not.
When I got home and was told that she was out, I became angry. Is this how she behaves anytime I am
out? Is this how she goes out and comes back before I am back from work?
I am thinking that is what she usually does until she arrives late. Then, I realize she just started with the
outing and I am also feeling she is doing it on purpose. If she always goes out so I won't know, she
would have been back since.
This is 10 pm already. It shows she is doing this on purpose, she is doing it to show me that she is not
scared of me. She is doing it to get back at me for bringing girls to the house too.
I am not going to promise myself that I won't overreact tonight. This is getting too much.
Is this how she will be going out every night and leaving our daughter with the maids? What then is the
essence of harboring her in my house when the maids and nanny have to do everything for our baby?
You are overreacting already, my subconscious states.
I know I am and I don't care. I need to give her a piece of my mind. I am trying my best to be a better
person but she isn't making it easy for me.
When I didn't see her come in immediately, after hearing the horn, I stand up without thinking to go out
and grab her to come inside.
This is how pissed I am. I think it is high time this guy gets to know she is married. I wonder what she
told him about me yesterday. I know if she had told him I am her husband, he won't have the guts to
come in here today again.
I fling the door open and stand in my track when I see his lips on hers. My mouth drops open the
moment she closes her wide eyes and kisses him back.
My anger is increasing as I watch them and I feel like beating the motherfucker up.
How dare he come into my house to kiss my wife?
She is just your wife in paper, remember? My subconscious mocks. I ignore it.
They continued kissing without noticing my presence at the front door and it is pissing me off, making
me fume in anger. I feel a strange hurt within me, it is as if my heart is on fire or it has been poked with
a sharp object. I realize I feel betrayed and hurt by Anna's actions. This shows that she has no respect
for me or our home.
What insolence?! I can no longer watch them, so I slam the door shut and turn back in, fuming in
anger.
