Chapter 69: Chapter 69

He was actually leaving me behind, he just walked past me. I started feeling bad that I left him, I wanted to follow him, but will that be the right thing to do?

Maybe I should just leave him be for the time being, but that is not what a true wife does, I should go to him.

I walked out of the room and went straight to where use to be his room, but now our room, and to my surprise, he wasn't there.

"Yes, he must be hungry, he should have dinner before sleeping, so I got Mary to help me get the table set, while I waited for him, but minutes later, he wasn't out, I decided to call him, and that was when I actually became worried, I called and called, but he wasn't taking his calls. I forgot all about my anger and jealousy of earlier, the entire house was dark and quiet, I could only hear the sound the security guards were making at their post, I didn't want them to know I was looking for him, I knew I would find him in one of the rooms, so I kept going, opening the different rooms, until I got to the art room, where he hides all his paintings, I opened it, and all I could find were my paintings and images of me everywhere, but there is another door right inside. Funny enough, I have never been to that room, and it is usually locked, I didn't want to bother going further, since he wasn't in the room, but I kept staring at the knob, of the other room, and wondering what it is I could find in there, when I heard the sound of the same lullaby he had sang to Whitney. I took steps further inside the room and moved close to the other door, and only had to bend down a little, before realizing that he wasn't the one singing, but a sound system, I gently twisted the door knob, and found him on the floor, watching a film of his parents playing the same song to him, before he goes to bed, he was little and looks the same, fierce and sweet.

I looked around, and that was when I noticed that the room was filled with the images of his parents and him, and his grandparents, he looked really happy, but looking at him seated on the floor, he looked sad, even though he had no tears in his eyes, I knew he was not happy, I let myself in and then I sat beside him.

"Do you wanna talk about it? I asked and he shook his head as to say no, he kept watching the couple on the screen and would laugh at some point.

You know you can always tell me anything right? I added and he turned to look at me and smiles.

"Yes I know, but you don't have to worry, I am fine". His response, made me feel even worse. It was like I was being punished for what I thought was right, I had to find a way to make things right, so I started slowly.

"I am sorry about today, I shouldn't have left you, I am really so.....

"No babe, you don't have to apologize, I totally understand if you want to keep us a secret, I saw how happy you were with the staff and how you worked with them, I don't want to take that smile away from you, which is why, I am going to allow you run this marriage, the way you want, and only when it no longer pleases you, can we have a change". I blinked severally, I didn't want things that way anymore, I wanted him to change it immediately, but I also wanted it to come from him, I wanted him to see through me, and force things to happen the way he wants it, but shocking me even more, he turned off the film, lifted me up, and walked me back to the dinning room, there he ate his meal quietly, and without saying so much, we had our bath, and he went to sleep.

I wanted to tell him about my worries and the things I needed from him, but with what I saw earlier, I didn't need anyone to tell me that he isn't emotionally stable, therefore, I should just let him be, which I did by the way, and though I slept beside him, holding his side, I could feel his heart beating heavier than it used to.

I kept stroking his hair, and romancing his side, until I finally heard him sleeping. I couldn't get through the night with such a heavy heart, I was worried about him, and I was also worried about how the next day would look like. We didn't even get to talk about what he needed to go to Winlowtech to do, we didn't get to talk about what Juliet showed to him. We didn't get to discuss what I am supposed to do at work the next day. With so much thought in mind, I soon found myself, giving way to nature, as I was eluded by sleep, and only woke up to the bright sun, illuminating the room, and finding it's way to my eyes. I turned to my side immediately, only to be greeted by an empty bed, I didn't want to believe that Craig would just leave that way, so I thought he must be in the bathroom having his bath, but when I couldn't find his briefcase, I knew he had left, still I went to the rest room to reaffirm, before gently having my bath, and preparing for the day's work, I got a new chauffeur and a new car, through him, when I got to Apple, I went straight to his office, only to find the piled up file waiting to be worked on. I started working, I planned to finish up what I have on time, so that I could go to Juliet, and get the information I was unable to get from Craig last night, but I was greeted with an even bigger shock.

"Miss Juliet went with Master Craig to Winlowtech, he said I should give you this when you get to work". Anita, who works closely with Juliet at the control Section told me, and I nodded as if I wasn't shocked or pained by the news, while in the real sense, I was crying inside.

I collected the note from her, and went back to my office, I opened it, and saw that he only left a note, of the things he needed me to do, and though he sounded sweet and loving as he used to, I wasn't happy, that he left with Juliet to Winlowtech, where Sandra is, without me, knowing what is going on.

I tried keeping myself busy, with everything I was supposed to do, and the things he asked me to do. I promised myself that I wasn't going to ask him any questions, or even call him, unless he calls me, and I wasn't going to speak to him, I was only going to make him see that I am angry, and maybe he could go back to being himself again.

I waited for their return, but nothing of sort happened, Every car that drives into the premises, catches my attention, but I am always disappointed at the end, because it always turns out to be someone else. Finally it was the close of day, I parked my things, and called my driver to come get me. When he arrived, I angrily opened the back seat and sat down, the car was dark,I noticed, I wanted to talk about it, but I was too angry, but after I was in, and seated, he turned on the inner light of the car, I was shocked by the man beside me in the car.

"Hello wify, how was your day?
