I woke up feeling like I was hit by a truck. I laid there with my eyes closed just listening to my aching body and regretting drinking so much. But then something moved by my side, and I opened my eyes then turned. Only to find Sandra sleeping next to me.

I forgot about my aching body as I jumped out of bed. “What the hell Sandra!” she jumped up and sat on the bed disoriented and looking around. “What, what is the matter? bloody hell! “What do you mean? You are in my bed!” she rubbed her eyes getting out of bed as if she did nothing wrong.

“Oh, that. Sorry, I had a nightmare, and I couldn’t sleep. So, I came here, and I asked if I could sleep with you, and you said yes.” What! How drunk was I last night? Because I didn’t remember any of that. “Sandra, I was drunk last night, you shouldn’t have taken anything I said seriously and besides. I am a married man, and this bed belongs to my wife and I.”

She didn’t look at me, she lowered her head then picked up her slippers and wore them. She walked to the door but before she got out, she said. “I am sorry to have sullied your marital bed, I never wanted to be a bother to you, and this will not happen again. Am sorry.” She then walked out leaving me feeling guilty for being too harsh with

her.

Sandra had no one, she only had Olivia and after she went to jail, she had me. Now I was snapping at her for no reason. Shit! She helped me so much in the past two years and I see Olivia one time and I go crazy. That damned woman!

But what happened to her? Who I saw coming out of the police station was not my wife, she was a shadow of the woman I once knew. I looked around searching for my phone, I found it still in my pocket. I dialled Given, my head. of security.

He picked up almost immediately. “Boss.”

“Find out everything about what happened to my wife while she was in prison. I want to know every little detail.”

“You will get everything within the hour.” I cut the call and sat on the bed with my eyes closed. My head was killing me. But I could not sit there and nurse my hangover, I had a company to run. I stood going to the bathroom.

I showered and when I came out. My bed was made and on the bedside table was a glass of water and two aspirin tablets next to it. That made me even more guilty, I was harsh to her and yet. She still took care of me. what an asshole I was.

I drank the pills then got changed before going downstairs. looked around hoping to see Sandra and apologize but she was nowhere to be found. I sighed and took my briefcase before walking out the door.

The car was already running with Oliver standing next to it smoking. “Good morning, sir.” I just nodded and got inside. We drove to work in silence. When we got to the office, before getting out, I asked. “Did the missus come by the house yesterday?”

Oliver looked shocked by my question, but he knew better than to question me about it. “No, sir.” My heart sank, where was she? Why didn’t she come home to me? I got out of the car and went into the building. The employees scattered when they saw me going to their respective workstations.

When I got to my office I sat behind my desk and looked at our wedding photo. She looked so beautiful and happy there. Where did we go wrong? My phone wrang and the caller was my mother. I sighed before answering. “Mom.”

“Oh, you are still alive. Good to know.” My mother and her sarcasm. “What can I do for you, mother?”
