Chapter 53 - Love And Regret (1/2)

Andrew arrived at exactly eight in the evening. Nina was done with their dinner and had prepared everything for the night.

She couldn't understand what she would feel towards her husband. She loved him, but how could he lie to her? She felt so humiliated thinking of what happened on that day.

She read everything Rev sent her. The money loaned by his father was also part of Andrew's plan. Her family needed money because of the bills piling up, and her father didn't know how to get them paid. Andrew ordered one of his men to offer a loan to her father, telling him that he could pay them anytime he wanted.

But in truth, it was a lie, so her father would accept the offer. The contract his father signed was different from what they initially showed him. Her father didn't bother to reread it because he trusted them.

They didn't come back for a few months until that day. Her father was shocked when the loan increased from three million dollars to ten million. The painful part was that Andrew's men beat her father, her mother fainted from shock, and she and her sisters were terrified.

She wanted to run away from Andrew. But she wanted to know if what she found out was true. She wanted Andrew to explain to her. Somehow, she wished that everything wasn't true.

Andrew saw Nina in the dining room and walked towards the dinner table. He then kissed her forehead and looked at the food she had prepared.

”Wow, it looks delicious. Just at the right time, I'm starving.” He said with a huge smile on his face.

He sat down across from her and started picking up the food. Nina was just looking at him when he started eating. She wondered how he could act like it was nothing.

”How's your day? Did you enjoy your tour outside?” He asked.

She nodded. ”Y-Yes.”

Andrew didn't notice that she wasn't herself. He was tired and hungry so he didn't see how Nina glared at him.

”Have you ever lied to me?” Nina suddenly asked.

He frowned then looked at her. He noticed that there was nothing on her plate, and she was just looking earnestly at him.

”No. Never. Why are you asking?” He answered.

Nina clenched her fist. He was still lying to her until now. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed a thousand times. She wanted to cry, but she managed to stop herself from looking so weak in front of him.

”I will ask you again. And this is your last chance to answer honestly. Do you have a secret you are keeping from me?” She asked again.

She was hoping that Andrew would tell her about it and explain. If he would apologize, maybe she could forgive him.

”Just tell me. I'm exhausted, Nina. I don't have time with your guessing game.” Instead, he answered her with annoyance.

She couldn't control herself anymore.; she was mad at him. She took out her phone, sliding it on the table towards him.
