Covetous Husband.
#WritcoStoryPrompt121
"Where are you going?" he asked, his eyes glared at my outfit that he bought for me on my birthday. Today there is a party in my office and I wanted to look presentable, so I decided to wear this beautiful black dress that reaches my knees, it has long bell sleeves and flares when I twirl, I adore this dress.
"I am waiting for your answer." he said again breaking me from my thoughts. He was sitting on the chair of dining table working on something, his fingers were tapping on the table breaking the silence of the room.
"I think its not your business to know where I go and where I don't." I said, there was calmness in my voice contradicting his raging eyes and gruff voice.
"It is my business, so answer my damn question?" he said slapping the innocent table.
"how is that your business?" I asked raising my one eyebrow, I never lost my composure, I am used to with his anger as will as his cowardice.
"Because I said so." he gave a smug answer. I will never succumb to his outrageous nature not anymore, so I just looked at him one last time and without answering took my car key and walked towards the door. I can clearly hear his angry footsteps that were following me.
When I reached the door I looked back at him and said,
"Make sure you clean the couch after you use it with your friend that will enter this house as soon as I leave, last time there were stains on it that made me feel nauseous, and also there are some papers that I kept on the bedside table, look through it and sign them. If you refuse then then look through the pen-drive, I am sure after that you will be ready to sign those papers." With that I left the house leaving him rooted on his place, his smugness vanished, his jealousy turned into fear and his body also started trembling.
While I was walking towards my car, I thought about the day when I came face to face with a heartbreaking scene, him going nasty with my neighbor, who is very young. We have been married for two years, I reached my sweet thirty and got surprise of my life, My husband cheating on me on my birthday.
Since then I have been patiently gathering proof, proof of his adultery, proof of his embezzlement from my company and proof that he is a pedophile.
I have already contacted my friend who is in police force, they will be at our doorstep in one hour, taking him and his pride. He think he is a man so he can do anything, Oh how wrong he is.
I was humming my favorite song while driving towards my Company building, imaging his face draining all the colors when he goes through the pen-drive.
A giggle left my lips when I imagined his scared face, he has the audacity to control my life when he himself is filled with potion of betrayal. How dare he? I am not someone who can be controlled yet my love for him made me someone who I was not. I became a girl who did anything to make him happy, I made him a part of the company even though he was not qualified, I gave him a house a family, he was nothing but a musician with pride that was bigger than his height.
"Pathetic " I murmured, I wiped my tears that were flowing remembering those days when he overpowered me.
I made sure my face was presetable, rectified my makeup and walked towards the entrance with my head held high. My phone rang and I picked up after two rings. Thrity minutes to go, I thought after I heard his pleading voice,
"I am sorry, please give my one chance. I will change I promise, I was just jealous okay, jealous of your achievements, jealous that I don't earn as much as you." he gave his pathetic reasons I just said one thing and hung up,
"Your jealousy is what made you marry me, You thought if you marry me you can boost your ego but darling marriage doesn't have jealousy and ego in its dictionary, goodbye darling."
