The Ceo's Ex-Wife

|| 9 ||

I want to say something to change the topic but before I could Noah spoke "Because we are married, something you probably don't understand" he said laughing

Lucas laughed as well "I really don't understand" he turned towards me "it just doesnt make sense how you could stay with someone after they been cheating on you for 2 years" he say as he takes a sip from his drink

The tension was just getting thicker and thicker, I could feel Noah getting anger, as he gripped my side that made me gasp at the pain

"Maybe cause the only love you have is for your alcohol" Noah sneered "I would think it would be hard to find love when your drunk most time, hell you can barely find your way home"

"Noah" I warned "dont make a scene"

"Yes darling, I'm sorry we were just having some fun" he cooed "Wives you know what I mean, oh wait you dont, cause you dont have one" he chuckled mockingly, "sad" he teased before Lucas could reply he began leading me away from the bar, as relieved I was that the convo was over I couldnt help look back at Lucas, who gulped down the last of his drink, his eyes not leaving mine, my heart tugged for Lucas though we are not close he didn't deserve that he was hurting to, but there was nothing I could do to stop their conversation, so I forced myself to turn away, as Noah began to lead me to the dance floor

"Noah I dont want to dance" I whispered through my teeth

"Just one dance" he replied, he twirled me as we reached the dance floor and pulled me into his arms, we bagan to slow dance, our hand linked, my other hand on his shoulder and his on my lower back, we were both smiling at each other, I wonder if he is genuine happy, cause I know I am not.

Dancing with him brought back memories, and with those memories came questions on whether they were sincere or not

I tried to push them back continuing to smile as we danced, no conversation just dance, this was probably the only moment of peace I had all night, as the song was near the end, Noah lowered his head, as if he was about to kiss my cheek, but instead he whispered "Dont near lucas again, or the bar" he said sternly, I should've known, he kissed my cheek and lead us off the dance floor

We were separated when another one of his associates called out to him, he then left me alone, I kept smiling and walking over the buffet, too get some food, and take in what just happened

I decided to take Noah's advice and go to the buffet, get some food and just try to get through the rest of the night, as I made myself a plate I couldnt help but observe, how divided everyone was, men either by their wives, or with there associates, while the wives were either with their husbands or sitting at a table smiling, but not making conversation with other wives

Was this why Noah wants to fix things? Cause he needs a wife? Am I just an item that he shows? A women that obeys her husband? A pretty thing he can have on his arm?

Yes I've been to gatherings like these before many many times but never have I noticed, that an event that was supposed to be dedicated to giving back, was filled with people who rather not be here, myself included , I wanted to slap myself for losing track on the importance of this event, to focus on what matters not on the small issues, that goes on to say that I started to come to fully made up my mind to work on my marriage with Noah without a single doubt, and ways we can do that, by volunteering as community centers, charities, and just getting more involved in the community.
