His Unwanted Wife Again
Chapter Six

Unedited Three days later...

"Nathan!" Sabrina yells as soon as she slams the front door shut. She had just arrived home after some much needed time away. With her sister away at college and her mother working around the clock, she had the whole house to herself and it gave her a lot of time to think.

She realized that she was letting her emotions get the best of her. As much as she was upset she should have at least appreciated what Nathan had done for her. She missed him so much it hurt.

He didn't call her while she was away. She was still a little angry and thought he probably was too. She kept thinking about what he has been doing. Like banning sex and booking a second wedding and honeymoon while she was on her period. It frustrated her just thinking about the chance he took away from her. But what she realized that was most important was that she wasn't mad about any of those things. She was mad because she had been trying to get space, and Nathan wasn't giving it to her. Whenever she was upset he was right there for her, and she loved that, but when she wanted to just be alone to clear her head, to calm down, or just not fight, he would never let her. It angered him when she was upset, then they would argue.

Thank god she took this time away because, with time to think, she realized that although it wasn't the smartest thing to do, he meant well. He was just trying to help, but he had no clue how to help her. And she was being a complete bitch to him. She cringed when she remembers. She needed to apologize for her behavior. She needed to let him know that he makes her happy. She had a lot of people to apologize too.

"Nathan!" She runs ups the stairs wondering if he was home. It was 6:30 and he would normally be home by now.

She tried calling him several times on his cell, only for it to keep going to voicemail. She tried calling his office, only for his secretary to tell her that he was in meetings and or conference calls. "Nathan." She opens the bedroom door.

Everything looked, as usual, nothing out of place.

She leaves the bedroom and checks his office. He wasn't in there either. She searches the house and calls his cell phone to no avail.

Where the hell was he? And why wasn't he responding to her? He normally never missed a call from her, and if he did, he would call right back no matter how busy he was.

She calls Elroy, who didn't answer. She called Vivian, who didn't answer, and her limo was missing from the driveway. Something was up. She goes back into their bedroom and begins pulling off her clothes. Feeling like she was in serious need of a shower.

After her shower, she checks her phone. Still no call or text from Nathan. She hits his name on her phone again, and as she walks to the closet she listens to his voicemail again. "Damn it!" She yells hitting the end button. Then, she glances up to see a half-empty closet.

All of the air from her lungs drags its self out. She couldn't take her next breath, wholly paralyzed she blinks back and wishes that she was seeing things, wishes that everything reappeared, but it didn't.

She slowly drops her self to the floor. Nathan left her. Without saying a word, he just picked up and left. Why would he just give up on her like that? He loved her. She knew he loved her. People don't just fall out of love just like that. Unless he has been for some time and she was too worried about getting pregnant to notice. It was all her fault. Her stubbornness and obsession cost her, her husband. She should have told him how happy being with him made her but, instead, she made him think that she couldn't be happy with just him. She pushed him away.

She picks up the phone again and calls his cellphone. And again she gets his voicemail.

This couldn't be it. So much hurt and pain she couldn't bear what she was feeling. So she turns on the denial on high.

Nathan must have moved his things to get back at her for reorganizing them. He wouldn't do this to her.

She waited all night for a phone call or a text back from him.

By 7:45 the next morning, she was out the door and sitting in the back of a limo on her way to his office. "Edward." She says while hitting the intercom button.

"Yes ma'am."

"Do you know where Nathan is?"

"No ma'am. I was told to stay here for your convenience."

"Where did everyone else go?" By everyone else, she meant Elroy, Wanda and Vivian, and her limo driver Sam. "I Don't know ma'am."

She releases the intercom and looks out the window. Gnawing at her stomach was the extreme feeling of anxiety.

He couldn't, and wouldn't do this to her. She knew Nathan, and he loved her too much to just leave her when things got tough. He loved her too much to leave her without saying a word, and she loved him too much to let him.

It was pouring rain by the time she arrived. She walked straight out of the limo uncaring of the water showering over her. She wore blue jeans a blue v-neck soft cotton shirt that was drenched. Her hair a completely wet mess. Entering the building she walks right past the front desk and into the elevator.

"I need to see Nathan." She notifies Nathan's assistant Anthony, who was busy speaking to someone on the phone. "Now." She orders.

"I'm sorry sir, can you hold one moment please." He presses the hold button and puts the phone down.

"Is he in there with anyone?" She adds getting impatient.

"No, but I need to call ahead if you're going in."

Without hardly a glance she heads straight for Nathan's office door.

Whenever she went to see him at his office she never needed to call ahead. She was the one person who could go in and out of his office like she owned it. The rules must have changed over the last three days. She opens the door quickly and slams it shut behind her.

There he was in one piece, sitting behind his gigantic dark oak wooden desk. He looks up from his laptop, and he doesn't look happy.

She could see his jaw tighten when their eyes meet.

She stands frozen for a moment. He's never looked at her like that. It was like he hated her.

"I'm sorry sir." Anthony opens the door hoping he wasn't in trouble.

"Just leave." He clamps down his jaw.

Anthony closes the door quickly leaving them alone.

Sabrina ignores his glare and slowly approaches his desk. "Why haven't you called me back?."

"I was talking to you." Still talking between his teeth, he leans back in his chair and closes his laptop.

"What?" She mumbles.

"Leave!" He barks.

She flinches. "Is what I've done so bad?"

He lets out a cynical laugh. "Get out, before I embarrass you, and have you thrown out!"

"I'm sorry, I was obsessed, but I've had so much clarity now. I just need you to be happy Nathan. I think a little time to myself is all I needed." Of course, she was still sad but knew now how far gone she was.

He shakes his head. "It's disgusting, how good you are at playing dumb, or maybe it's just me whose been fooled all along."

"What?" She squints at him confusingly.

"Get out... There's nothing left between us."

"What do you mean Nathan? We're married."

His lips thinned. "My lawyer will be calling you about that."

"Nathan." She pleads. "Why are you doing this? This isn't you."

He stands and rests his palms on his desk. His normally soft eyes fell on with disgust. "Sabrina." He put a ton of emphasis on her name. "You don't know me, you don't have the slightest clue who I am. That sucker, you knew as a husband no longer exists. You're going to see who Nathan Alden really is." He picks up the phone and hits a button.

"Security, I have a woman here that needs to be escorted out of the building."

She felt numb suddenly. He looked at her differently, he spoke to differently.

Cold, was the word that kept running through her mind.

"I'll go." She scurries out of there.

As soon as she opened the building's glass doors she felt like she was Inhaling and exhaling nails. She looked at the limo and wanted to vomit suddenly. She couldn't get in it. Instead, she began walking the crowded streets.

She kept replaying things in her head over and over again. Suddenly, she sees a man with a newspaper in his hand who looks at her strangely. She realized he recognized her. Nathan Alden's wife.

It didn't surprise her that people haven't forgotten about her since the case against Desmond, or Auden's death. It was one of the juiciest stories. All the details came to light, and people couldn't get enough. "Slut!" She hears from behind her. She turns around to see a brunette holding a little girl's hand.

"What did you say?"

"You heard me." She pulls what looks like to be her daughter without a backward glance.

What the hell was going on? She needed to find a newspaper. They probably knew her marriage ended before she did.

She quickly finds the closest convenience store and grabs a paper. She joins the line and opens it up in a rush.

She breathes a small sigh of relief. She couldn't take any more of anything. She reaches the counter and drops the paper down.

As she digs in her pockets for some change. "Hey, I know you. I saw you in the paper. You're Nathan Alden's wife, ah, ah," the clerk snaps his fingers trying to remember her name. "Sabrina." She says.

"Yeah, yeah." He rubs his chin feeling his unshaven face. He then scans the paper and takes her change. She quickly stands away from the register and opens the paper again, searching it in detail this time. Just in case. "Here."

She turns to look over her shoulder. The clerk was handing it to her.

"I always save a couple of these for the coupons."

The paper he hands her was dated two days ago. The headline read "Sabrina Alden wife of Nathan Alden caught cheating see page 6."

"What the hell?" She would never cheat on Nathan. Why would he believe this garbage?"

She turns to page six. There was a huge picture of Judd with his arms around her.

"Sabrina was caught by photographers at the airport in the arms of your not going to believe it, Judd Michaels, Nathan Alden's cousin." She crinkles the papers in her hand. "Oh my god!"

She was stubborn and refused to take a private jet. She booked a commercial flight and hopped into a cab.

Judd showed up and confessed his love. He even tried to hug her. She pushed him away immediately. They have only spoken on a few occasions. She was shocked, to say the least.

She had so much on her mind, she completely forgot it even happened. It happened right before she boarded her flight. She opted not to call Nathan because she didn't want him to kill Judd while she was gone.

She takes a good look at the picture."Oh, no.." It was horrible. He caught her off-guard right as she was about to enter the airport. "It looked like they were about to kiss. It was the complete opposite. He tried to kiss her and confessed his love. Even offered to have children with her. Of course, she turned him down and told what a horrible cousin he was to Nathan.

"You might want to look at this too." It was another picture dated yesterday of Judd leaving her mothers house. He showed up while she was in the shower. Her mother let him in before she left for work, and he waited 20 minutes for her. She immediately kicked him out and told him how inappropriate he was behaving and to never come back. She called Nathan this time but it went to voicemail. She figured that he needed cooling down. In no way did she think paparazzi would be watching her in her hometown. To top it off, the paper was making it seem like he spent hours with her.

She felt so stupid. How could she let this happen? She should have called Nathan more, she should have left 100s of messages. She shouldn't have let her petty emotions and her stupid, annoying stubbornness destroy them. She was to damn distracted with feeling sorry for herself. She was so caught up, she hadn't realized that her name was in probably every tabloid.

This was all her fault. His mother always told her that her stubbornness was going to cost her one day. She had to tell Nathan that this wasn't true. But how? Security won't let her get passed the front door. She leaves the store hearing the clerk telling her to come again and embraces the rain head-on. Her husband hated her. At this point, she could see why because she was beginning to hate herself.
