LOVE PUZZLE

Episode 1

DEBBIE'S BOUTIQUE:

MICHELLE'S POV:

I caught Dominic, my lovely husband pants down making love to my dearest cousin, Debbie. They were right behind the curtains inside Debbie's boutique.

I couldn't believe my eyes for whatever I witnessed in there was so hurtful to be true. I rubbed my eyes and pinched myself repeatedly to make sure I wasn't dreaming or imagining it all.

I wasn't dreaming, neither was I imagining it all: Dominic kissëd Debbie right before my eyes. At that moment my jaw dropped, I lost morale in life and my knees almost gave up the weight of my body. I was already on the verge of tears.

I raced out of the boutique immediately to cry my eyes without causing any commotion, I was already too weak for that. I sat outside and wept scornfully.

Out of the blue, a cozy touch ran over my shoulders in an attempt to calm me down.

"Don't touch me!" I reacted sensitively, thinking it was Dominic.

I rose up to my feet with a flaring anger burning down my throat and I was about to throw a dirty slap to his face when I noticed that it wasn't Dominic, a stranger did.

"I'm sorry!" The gentleman apologized at once, his voice and expression alone revealed so much concern and care.

I could feel it.

The tears that had blurred my vision reminded me to clear my eyes before I could catch a good sight of the gentleman.

I briskly wiped off the tears from my eyes with my thumbs only to perceive the most handsome man I had ever seen in my entire life. My mouth fell open, I became dumbfounded and my heart almost skipped a beat. But behind his enchanting appearance lurked an aura of danger and allurement that sent a series of signals down my spines.

He slowly walked towards me while I pushed backwards.

"Hey, stay off! I am a married woman..." I warned him suspiciously.

"Married woman! Meaning! Seriously what do you take me for, a horrible man that takes advantage of every woman he comes across? Huh!" The gentleman wondered, squeezing his face in a way that portrayed so much seriousness.

He further pushed himself forward and closer to me.

"Back off! Look, my husband is over there! Once he finds you here, trust me he will break all your bones. He is a police officer." I threatened the gentleman.

I could sense an aura of confusion around him as he scanned the place with his temptingly cute eyes to see my husband.

"He's inside that boutique!" I uttered, pointing to the direction of Debbie's boutique.

The gentleman heaved a sigh and shook his head hesitantly.

"Look Miss, I came to you because I saw you sobbing! I don't know why you're overthinking the whole situation..!" The gentleman cleared the air.

"I am not sobbing, I am fine!" I lied.

"Are you sure you're fine!" The gentleman pushed doubtfully.

"Yeah!" I replied and a bitter loud cry escaped from my lips at the utter of that.

I couldn't help but cry again and again.

The gentleman took hold of me, he sat me down with my head resting on his thick and strong chest. He caressed the back of my shoulders with one hand while he slid the other cozily over my hair.

I was so lost into the comfort of his arms as though we have known each other for ages, I was simply vulnerable because it had been a while since someone ever nursed my emotions with such affection and care.

In a blink of an eye a message tone hit my phone, that was the moment I got reminded that I was in a stranger's arms. I lifted myself off his arms and chest, I sat upright and rubbed tears off my eyes with my palms.

"I have to go now!" I voiced hesitantly, rising up to my heels.

"Don't you want to talk about what happened to you?" The gentleman inquired with concern.

"No, I am fine now!" I declined.

"Alright then, I didn't get your name though!" He reminded me, myself I didn't know his name either but an opportunity just presented itself so I grabbed it.

"My name is Michelle." I cheered a little at the mention of my name.

"Michelle, wow! Such a beautiful name for a beautiful lady..." He complimented me, grinning widely. I choked about and acted like I didn't hear his compliments.

"What is your name?" I asked him bluntly.

"My name is David, my friends call me Dave." He replied joyfully, his smiles got me lost into crazy thoughts.

"Your wife?" My mind slipped.

"My wife! What about my wife?" David queried curiously.

"No nothing, have a blessed day! I have got to go." I covered it up, but I really wanted to know if he had a wife.

"Hey, wait!" David stopped me as soon as I turned to leave.

I turned back.

"Can I drop you off, please!" David solicited with his alluring smiles again, I swiftly dropped my eyes down before giving him a response.

"No, thank you! I am driving with my husband." I replied quickly.

"Oh my bad!" David uttered, wearing an awkward look on his face.

"What about your contact, can I have it?" David pushed.

"Next time!" I voiced as I turned to leave again.

I didn't waste any minutes walking away and once I was out of David's sight I took a cab back to return to the house. I was so heartbroken, I couldn't control my tears. What Dominic did to me was so hurtful, especially that I spent all the years of our marriage being that ideal woman to him.

I knew I would never heal...

The reason why my husband chose to cheat on me with my cousin Debbie was still a mystery to me at that moment. I felt so used in my own marriage, the same marriage I considered as my pride.

Debbie was married with children, three children at that, two girls and one boy. Debbie's husband Gerald lived and worked in the UK but he came home once a year.

Dominic and I had been married for nine years, we have a beautiful princess together, her name is Norah.
