Attorney Vida Frederick POV.
It's been three days now since I asked my husband to help out with Mr Brooks, but he still refused. I had to go to Madam Frederick, my mother-in-law and she gladly helped. The kids were excited to meet with their dad at the park, though the time was short but they had fun.
When my husband found out about it, I knew he wasn't happy with me but what can I do, I can't turn a blind eye to the kids. " Darling are you mad at me? I asked my husband who was a bit distance in his response since he got back from the office.
" Does it look like am upset? He asked not looking away from his laptop.
" Yes you're, is it because I involved mom in this? though he didn't face me but he stopped working on his laptop.
" Shouldn't I be upset, I told you not to get involved but you rather involved mom as well. You're an attorney who defend the rights of the people but you won't even listen to your husband. Mrs Frederick I got work to do" he said and focused back on his laptop. But I feel there's something else he's upset with which he's not saying.
" Honey dear, everyone deserves a second chance, even the thief crucified along Jesus Christ was given one I...." I was saying
" Are you trying to defend yourself" he asked but I got upset.
" What do you mean, tell me Mr Chairman is this the only reason you're upset or there's something else" I asked him which made him to stand up and faced me sneering. " You're truly smart wifey" he said
" So there's some other reason you're upset, why don't you say it rathe than being a jerk" I told him, he held my shoulders but I slapped them off.
" When I was still on business trip, where did you go and who did you see" he asked but I was too angry to recall all that happened when he was away.
"I don't know what exactly you're mad about and to your question, I met with a lot of persons" I told him taking my sit on the single sofa.
" Even those whom you're not supposed to be with" he said picking up his laptop and left the bedroom, I was now upset more like, why's he doing this. But who could he... Oh oh could it be Ethan Mark' I murmured, these two are not just business rivals but love rivals. Ethan Mark loves me, there was a point he proposed to marry me knowing that I've been engaged to Victor Frederick. Ethan Mark has long relocated abroad but I was surprised to have seen him at the coffee shop across my office where, I normally discuss with clients though I don't like Ethan Mark I agreed to be his attorney so he can be can have legal rights to his kids. I waited for my husband to return to the room but even at 11:30pm he didn't, I had to go find him in the study but he was still busy with work. "You should come to bed it's getting late" i told him as I walked up to him.
"Mrs Frederick can go back to sleep, as you can see the chairman is busy with work" he said not looking at me. I was about walking up to him but he stopped me " don't come over attorney Frederick" he said with a stern voice, I sighed and went back to sleep.
For two days my husband remained cold, he responds to my greetings and that's all. I can't concentrate on my work, I called my husband but he didn't pick up, he sent me a message he will call me back but it's been over two hours now. " I should call back" I called back and he picked "Attorney Frederick" he said
" Can you join me for lunch" I asked
" No, am busy with work" he said
" Are you still upset with me" I asked
" We will talk at home" he said and hung up, I scoffed like seriously why is he being a jerk, he's being unreasonable.
By the time I got back home it was past 8pm, I had an emergency meeting.
My husband was in the living room when I got in, I took in a deep breath.
" Darling good evening, am sorry I got back late, I was held up by a meeting and there after I waited to see a client" I told him " Mrs Frederick should remember she's pregnant and not stress herself" he said and didn't more though I had things to say but all I need now is shower there after I'll eat. I got up going upstairs but stopped in my tracks when I heard the question.
" Who was the client you saw after your meeting" my husband asked. I took a deep breath before I turned to face him "It's Ethan Mark"
" You sure have a close relationship with your ex" he said
"What the hell! Ethan Mark is not my ex neither do I have any ex's and you know it stop being a jerk Mr chairman" I can't hold it down
" Now she calls her husband a jerk huh, I don't care what business you have with him attorney Frederick, I need you to stop it, end it now Mrs Frederick" he said and was about walking past me but I blocked his part. I cupped his face locking eyes with him " Are you jealous Mr Frederick" I asked but he scoffed and headed upstairs, I followed him inside the bedroom.
" I will not stop being an attorney to Ethan Mark not until he has rights to his kids" I told him but he said nothing before going into the washroom, I sighed before sitting on the bed waiting for him to come out.
My husband came out all dressed up and a packed bag " are you traveling" I couldn't help but ask
" You should focus on your duties Mrs Frederick and not some jerk" he said sarcastically then stepped out.
