My Stilettos - Ch. 4

From the last chapter

Alma moved in her husband's house, where she met his family.She surprised everyone when she informed them that they have to move out of the house.Next day, when she woke up, she saw that they did as she said.After that she ignored Max and started to redecorate her bedroom.

Her husband left for a week in a business trip and she started dating a rich artist from the town.At the same time she visited Wei's house.

A week later, when Max came back, Alma was at another party.She spent her night with Shark, Max's grandson. 

Alma woke up late in the morning and she saw that Shark was nowhere.She sighed, took a short shower and went to met her husband.She gave him a short smile and welcomed him back home and she left, pretending that she had an appointment for manicure.

Well, she had one.But she ignored it and went to meet Wei.They had lunch together in the town and, after that, they went in  the park.He knew that she was now a married woman, but she already explained him that she didn't love her husband and she married him only because he was old and rich.She wanted his money.

In the evening, when she knew that Max was out, probably at work, she and Wei went at her house and spent some thime together, in her new, redecorated bedroom.

The next few months were the same.While Max was at work, Alma met Wei and, after they ate, they went at her house (or at his) and she returned home late in the night.

Well, that was what all the town knew.They heard the stories about the beautiful, red haired woman who was cheating her benevolent husband.And soon, her husband found about that too.

He had to admit: her beloved wife was always out, in the town or at parties and he barely met her. But he thought that she was young and she probably had the right to live her life, while he was an old man who had too much work.

After he heard more and more of those rumours next couple of years, Max finally dedided to talk to his wife.They were now married for more than five years and they barely talked to each other once or twince a day.

It was Sunday morning when a maid informed Alma that her husband wants to talk to her and is waiting for her in the library.Alma smiled and said that she'll be in the library as soon as she's ready.So she took a shower, dressed, put some make-up and went to meet Max.

They started taling and he told her from the beginning of the conversation that the town is full of rumours about her affairs.Of course, he started yelling at her, acusing her thet because of her infidelities she's destroying his reputation and many, many other hurtfull things.Alma knew that everything was real and that her husband was right, but ... that doesn't mean she had to change.So she let him yell at her, avoiding to respond in any way.Finally, when he stopped, he looked at her and saw that she had tears in her beutiful turquoise eyes.She looked hurt.Immediately he realized that he hurt her and apologized.She simply murmured at him: "You fool!Today it's my 30th birthday!".And then she left the room, closed the door behind her and started crying as soon as she arrived in her bedroom.

Everything he said was the truth and she knew that, sooner or later, he'll find out about her, but she never expected him to yell at her on her birthday.So she locked her in her bedroom the whole day, refusing to see anyone. 

As if this was not enought, the next day she found out that she was pregnant.And it wasn't Max's child!It couldn't be his, because he haven't touched her for a couple of months.Well, it could be Wei's child, but she wasn't sure.She spent most of her time with him.

Now she had to find a way tell Max.And maybe make him belive it was his.
