Chapter 636 - The Senator's Wife

There's even a video of them both naked in a hotel room.

This time, the eyes of Senator Melvin's wife is already blurred with tears and smoke since the whole kitchen is already filled with smoke. She is too preoccupied with the pain that she is having in her heart right now as if a knife is slowly slicing her heart off into pieces to care about the pancakes that she just spread in the pan when her sister called.

"Oh my God! Darling, what happened!" Her grip on the phone tightened when she heard the voice of her husband behind her. She felt him walked fast around the kitchen but she didn't move, her body felt numb.

Senator Melvin turned off the stove that is in front of his wife then put the burnt pan under the running water on the sink. He opened the windows of the kitchen to release the smoke that filled the room since the exhaust is not enough.

When all the smoke is gone and upon making sure that there is no fire, he finally checks out his wife that is still in a daze.

"Darling, are you okay?" Senator Melvin put his arms on her shoulder and asked with a worried expression. "Are you hurt? What happened?"

That's when he noticed the tear-streaked face of his wife and phone on her hand. He already had a bad feeling about this.

He looked down at the phone on his wife's hand and found a video that is still playing. At first, he didn't recognize the face of the people on the video that is obscenely showing their affections. He frowned not understanding why his wife is watching that kind of pornographic video in the morning while preparing breakfast.

But not until he came to recognize the person in the video.

It was him...and Senator Rizza...

His eyes widened and his blood drained out of his face. He paled in an instant and felt a lump on his throat.

He raised his head to look at his wife whose face turned from blank to angry.

"Darling, let me explain..." Before Senator Melvin could continue with his words, his wife's palm met his face in a loud slap.

After that slap, his wife came into senses. "Okay. Explain." She said in a stern voice after taking a deep breath.

"I..." It was easy to say that he can explain it but when given the chance to say, he cannot say a word. Because in any way one looks at it, he cannot justify his actions, especially that his wife never lacks in anything when it comes to their marriage.

His wife waited for him to speak but he never did.

"Did you had any second thoughts with this marriage at the very beginning?" She asked in a shaky voice.

"No. You knew very well that it was my dream to marry you." Senator Melvin was quick to reply.

"Am I lacking with attention towards you?" She asked again trying to figure out what went wrong in their relationship. She thought that maybe she's been too busy with their kids and that his husband is jealous and was seeking attention from her that she didn't notice.

"No. You've been a good wife to me and a mother to our kids." This time, Senator Melvin lowered his head realizing how good his wife is for him to treat her this way.

His wife silently stared at him before she asks. "Did you fell out of love?" Her eyes became filled with fear. Fear of what he would say.

"Of course not! I've always loved you and love you even more." Senator Melvin tried to reach out and touch her face but his wife takes a step back avoiding his touch.

"Then...it's because of sex?" His wife thought about it. She rarely declines when he ask for intimacy. Now she wonders if she doesn't satisfy him.

Men tend to express their love in a physical way so sex becomes an important path to connection and intimacy. When they aren't sexually satisfied, they tend to be insecure and that leads them to find satisfaction with other women.

Upon hearing it, Senator Melvin became tongue-tied. The reason why he cheated is mainly because of sex. He loves his wife more than anything else and he would never regret marrying her. He could never see his future with another woman except for his wife. And when it comes to intimacy, he has always been satisfied with their lovemaking.

But he just cannot resist it when Senator Rizza started to flirt with him until he was consumed by lust. One mistake followed by another one and then another until he became addicted to it and it became a habit of the two of them even thou he knows that Senator Rizza is also hooking up with another man.
