MARRY ME NOW Chapter 1

I was on my way home from work. I had to leave earlier than my closing time. I have been sick lately. I just have to relax, I guess. My body felt sore, I easily got tired, and I had headaches, and so on. I should have been worried, but I wasn't because I was never almost sick. That doesn't mean you can't get sick.

I sighed. I drove slowly because I felt dizzy. Maybe I should just come down and take a cab or something? That would be stressful, so I decided to continue my slow drive home. Soon I got home. Carson, my husband, won't be home by now. He left earlier today to go sign some contracts, which was good because I don't want him worried about me being sick. Whenever I am sick, Carson stresses himself and refuses to go to work just to take care of me.

I giggled, remembering the day I had a fever. He refused to go to work so he could be with me. Fulfilling all of my wishes. I am seriously so lucky to have someone like him in my life.

I drove into the garage and stopped the car.

I got out of my car and locked it, and I spotted Carson's car. Well, that's a surprise. It was only 2 pm. Maybe he got the contracts and signed them. I'm so proud of him!

I guess I can't hide that I am sick today. I walked to my front door and unlocked it. The sitting room was dead silent.

Where was he? It's either he is here, or he's in his home office. So if he is not here, then he would be in his home office. I strolled to his little office and called, "Carson?" I was replied with silence

"Carson?" I called again, this time my voice louder. He wasn't in the sitting room or his office. He must be in our room, then. But that's odd.

I mopped through the stairs to where our room was. "Sweetheart, I am home!" I say sweetly. I moved closer to the door, and I stopped in my tracks when I heard moans. I giggled. Was he watching porn?

"Baby?" I called, opening the door, my eyes widened, and my heart suddenly beat faster than ever. I could hear my heart beating against my chest and tears gathered in my eyes.

They stopped, and she got off him. I swear I just saw her smirk at me. I heard Carson groan, and next to him was the girl I called my best friend.

I moved away from the door, closing the door behind me. I turned to walk away. This had to be a dream. Oh god, please let it be a dream.

Running out, I went to my car. I didn't want to be anywhere near them at that moment, but I didn't know why I waited for like five minutes, Hoping he would come to meet me and explain this. I drove off, going to only god knows where.

More tears spilled out of my eyes. Why? Why would he do that? I thought he loved me.

And why does it have to be with Sara? Someone who was like a sister to me. I can't believe she would do such a thing.

It felt like my heart had been ripped off my chest.

My hands started shaking. I had to stop driving. I parked my car on the side of the road and started crying so hard.

You would regret going to him someday! My aunt's voice screamed at me.

He's going to use and dump you!

Don't return here when he does, and I won't accept you! You should reconsider getting married to him!

These made me cry harder. She had been right, I guess. She had always been against my relationship with Carson.

Someone knocked at the window of my car. "Hey, sorry for disturbing you, but it's getting late, and it's really dangerous out here." A guy said.

I slowly turned my head to look at the time. 6:57 pm?? I looked back at the man. "Thank you." I could barely hear myself, not sure if he heard until he nodded his head. "You're welcome." He said. I sighed and drove off.

I was so confused. I didn't know what to do, I finally got to the house, and my body felt numb.

When I got in, I saw Carson in the sitting room, and he was talking to someone on the phone.

His eyes met mine for a brief minute, and he cut the line of whosoever he was calling.

"Sign that." I looked at where he was motioning at a paper on a paper holder, and my eyes widened when I saw its contents.

Was he going to divorce me? I didn't want a divorce. Yes, I was angry at him for cheating, my blood was boiling, but I didn't want to divorce him. He's Carson, the man I married, the man I love. I have always treasured him, told him how much I love him, and he told me he loved me too. He showed his love for me in all kinds of ways. I can't believe this! "Cars-" he cuts me off when he snaps. "Just fucking sign it." he snapped.

"Carson, you don't have to do this. We can still make our marriage work out. Please, I love you, Carson, please! Don-"

"Make what work out, Tessa? I have been in this loveless marriage for three years! Just fucking sign the paper and get the fuck out of my house!" He gritted.

I was shocked. Loveless. Does he think our marriage was loveless? I was scared to say anything back to him because he looked so angry, and I had never seen him this angry before. It scared me.

Were you thinking of staying with him after what you saw earlier?? My subconsciousness screamed at me. I just could not imagine not being with him.

With tears spilling out of my eyes, I moved closer to him, "Carson, please don't do this; you've always said you love me a-," he cut me off again.
