Chapter 15: Pretense in a Happy Marriage
Charles arrived home to find Catherine in their bed waiting for him, but instead became jealous suspecting that he was with Ashleigh,
“Where were you?!”
“At work, honey.” Charles lied, but Catherine seemed to believe him.
But Catherine didn't believe him. She just accepted it. She hoped that not getting into an argument, Charles would incriminate himself.
“Oh, OK, dear!” Catherine said smiling. “Come to bed!”
Charles did as Catherine asked, for now—at least until he could figure out a plan to get rid of her. As he had s*x with his wife, Catherine relished in Charles' arms knowing that Ashleigh was in the past—well at least Charles let her know.
Charles had to play the dutiful husband for the time being.
Ashleigh was released from the hospital where her brother, James, arrived to take her to his apartment.
“Hey, James!” Ashleigh said when she saw her brother at the nurses' station waiting for her.
“Hi sis!” James said as the two hugged.
“Ready to go home?”
“Yes. But first I want to go see someone.”Ashleigh exclaimed.
“It wouldn't be Charles?” James asked, not sure she should do so.
“No, I want to see his wife!”
“You want to see Catherine?”
“Yes. I want to give her a piece of my mind!”
“Why don't we just let the two lovebirds be?”
“If you don't take me there, I'll just find a way there myself!”
James did as his sister requested because he knew she would. When Ashleigh put her mind to something, it was impossible to change her mind.
