Trapped In The Arms Of The Billionaire

Ethan POV

I just left the conference room because I just finished my meeting with the new investors. Fortunately, I finally finished almost a month of projects and I can rest well.

I went straight to my office with Gian and we sat down together, we also breathed a sigh of relief because we had already signed the contract.

“Your tiredness and sleeplessness are worth it bro.” exclaimed Gian.

“This is all I’m waiting for when it’s over so I can get back at my wife. I want to go on vacation after this day.” I promise.

“You deserve a break with your Agatha, Anyway, I remember what you said to me last time? I didn’t understand well.”

“You’re just thinking about Belle, that’s why you are not attentive! It’s about my wife. I just noticed something.” I said.

His forehead furrowed. “What? Don’t tell me she’s pregnant?”

“Stupid! She’s not. I notice that in the past few days she is always leaving the house and sometimes she is talking to someone on the phone that I don’t know, when I look at her phone there is nothing registered in his call logs.” I said.

“Isn’t she working in Montreal? It’s only natural that she leaves your house.”

“I know that but sometimes she doesn’t go there so I wonder where because one day I asked Zey if they were together because my wife is not answering my calls but Zey told me that Agatha is not with her.” I promise.

“So what are you thinking? Is Agatha hiding something from you?”

I shook my head. “I know my wife so I know she won’t be able to keep things from me.” I said.

“Oh, that’s it, maybe it’s just clients. You know that a lot of people want Agatha to be their architect.”

I didn’t say anything because of what my friend said, not because I was suspicious of my wife, I just didn’t forget that thing, especially when I asked her once.

Flashback …

We eat breakfast together because it’s Saturday. This is the first week I’ve noticed something strange about Agatha since she came home after she met Veronica.

I also asked her what happened during their conversation and she told me everything and the two of them got along, I asked her why she came home late because all I know is that they met in the morning but she got home almost night.

“It’s good that you two are getting along. Where did you go after that? Veronica told me she was home before lunch.” I asked her.

I saw her avoid looking at me, which surprised me. “Ah eh, I saw one of my college classmates, we had a little chit chat and decided to have snacks.” she answered me.

“Male or female?” I asked her.

“Of course woman.”

“I called you many times but you are not answering it.” I said.

“I’m sorry baby, I didn’t notice my phone.”

After that conversation I didn’t ask her again. Until I noticed that she often leaves or that she is talking to someone on the phone but I don’t know who because she deletes it.

It’s just like now that she’s standing on the veranda and she’s talking to someone again, I let her put down the phone before approaching her.

“Who are you talking to?” I asked and I could still see her shocked face.

“B-baby I thought you’re already in our room.” she said.

“No, I just saw you here so I came over. Why?” I promise.

“That’s just a client in Montreal.”

“Really? Why did your face become pale when you noticed me? You know what Agatha I’ve been noticing lately as if you’re hiding something from me.” I’m seriously said.

Her eyes widened. “What? What’s with that question? You know I can’t keep a secret from you.”

“I hope so baby, I trust you.” I said.

End of Flashback …

Since then I have not tried to ask her where she is going, I have a lot of trust in my wife.

Gian POV

I noticed that Ethan was quiet and seemed to have the depth of his thoughts. I’m sure it was about Agatha, but I also believe that she is not hiding something from Ethan that could hurt the two of them.

“Hey are you okay?” I get his attention.

He looked at me quickly. “Yeah, don’t mind me.” he replied.

“Let’s just have a snack, I heard there’s a new cafe near your office.” I encouraged him to get rid of the doubt in his mind.

He nodded and stood up. We went out of his office at the same time and since I didn’t have a car, we just used Ethan’s car, Maxine and I will pass by later.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I offered to drive and Ethan didn’t complain.

While we were on the road he was still silent. “Stop thinking negatively about your wife bro.” I said.

“I’m not thinking bad about Agatha.” he growled at me.

“Stop the car Gian!” he shouted at me.

My forehead wrinkled. “Why? What happened?” I asked him.

I saw that he was looking at someone but I didn’t know what, where or who. Sometimes my friend is really weird.

After a few seconds he sighed and motioned for me to continue driving. I still wanted to ask what was there but it was obvious on his face that he was not in the mood.
