During the weekend after tending to the garden, I walked in to see Riley was sitting on the couch in the living room, when a maid got a glass of orange juice for her and dropped it on the table.

Riley was deep in thoughts, she didn't even see me walk into the mansion.

Riley looked at the tray of orange juice and an evil smile slowly formed in her face.

"Are you alright?" I asked her and she snapped out of her thoughts and turned to me.

"When did you get in here?" She asked in surprise.

"Just a minute ago." I responded.

"Oh." She mumbled and looked away as she took another sip from her glass cup.

I proceeded to walk upstairs when I saw my father in law coming, thirty minutes after I was in the room.

Riley opened the door and walked in , she was holding a tray of orange juice resting on the tray.

I just finished tending to the garden and had changed into comfortable clothes. I was scrolling through his phone while resting on the bed when Riley walked in and I smiled.

Even though I was suspicious of her, I had no evidence, so I will just go along with it.

"Is that for me?" I asked, my earlier hurt of thinking about that I saw in her restroom gone for a while.

"Yes, my love." She smiled as she walked up to me while swaying her hips.

She sat down and set the tray down on the nightstand and gave me the glass of juice.

"I don't feel like drinking anything." I replied.

"But baby." She pouted ,as she pushed the glass cup of juice in my face.

I was taken aback by her reaction and pout.

She looked cute, so I decided to just drink it.

"Are you upset with me, don't you believe me?" She kissed him.

I was yearning for her attention, so I just decided to go along with her, hoping I could have some fun.

I gulped down the orange juice and set it down on the nightstand, as Riley made herself comfortable in between my laps , as we cuddled and she was going through my phone wondering what I had been up to.

I was playing with her hair and taking in her nice scent as I held her in my arms, my eyes suddenly felt heavy and I yawned.

Was I that tired?

I felt sleepy, but I wanted to stay awake and spend time with her , my eyes were slowly closing as I finally succumbed to the darkness as my eyes closed.

My eyes fluttered open, as my head hurt a bit.

 I tried turning around to get my phone and check the time, but something was holding down my hand and stopping me from moving.

My eyes opened fully and it widened when I saw a maid lying beside me,cuddled up next to me.

Not just any maid, but that one always commenting on my body.

My face crawled up in disgust,how did she get here?

What is she doing here?

This wasn't how I remembered falling asleep, Riley was in bed with me and why was I half dressed?

I pushed the maid off me and before I could say anything to the sleeping maid, my wife barged into the room and yelled.

"Alex what are you doing! How could you!" She yelled so loudly that I was sure everyone in this mansion heard her.

I gasped in shock,as I knew this was a bad position to be in.

"Riley, wait I can explain this is not what it seems."I said ,as I tried to calm her down, as the maid beside me stirred up in her sleep and woke up.

"How do you cheat on me at my own celebratory party? Do you hate me so much that you can't even respect me?" She asked in a yell.

I could not even understand what she was saying.

Celebratory party?

What celebratory party?

I didn't know there was a party hosted.

"I just saw her here when I woke up, this isn't what it seems like." I told her immediately, however I could see tears forming in her eyes.

"Liar, bloody liar, how dare you try to deceive me!" She yelled as she threw her phone at me and it fell on the bed.

I knew that there was no need talking to Riley, because she wouldn't believe me.

I turned angrily to the maid.

"Why are you keeping quiet, saying something, how did you get into my room?" I asked her in frustration and she just flinched.

No matter how I felt about Riley ignoring me, there was no way I would bring another woman into their matrimonial room.

Let alone sleep with her in their bed.

That was something I would never stoop so low to do and I was very sure that my wife was in this bed with me , when I closed my eyes.

So what happened?

"Ma'am ,I am really sorry ,but we love each other, we have been dating for six months now." The maid announced leaving me dumbfounded and staring at her in disbelief.

"That's a lie, how dare you lie in this type of situation, say the truth or I will slap some sense into you ." I defended myself ,as I shook my head and glared daggers at the maid who just whimpered.

"How dare you lie about me?" I asked angrily, as I was ready to smack her across the face, but she moved away from me in fear, getting off the bed. That was when I saw she was only wearing a short ,sleeveless nightdress above her knees and with her chest wide open and her breast was on full display and she didn't even try to cover up.

The nightdress must have slipped off her shoulders.

Oh goodness, this looked bad.

Mrs Harry and the body guards heard Riley scream, so they ran to her direction to see what was going on and they met me and the maid in the room.

It was then that the maid pulled her dress up , covering a bit of her chest.

"Mommy, he is cheating on me!" Riley cried out ,as she ran to her mother for comfort.

"Riley, I told you this is not what happened, she's accusing me, I never touched this woman." I said in anger ,as I jumped out of the bed and tried approaching my wife.

"Stay where you are or you regret taking a step closer to me!" Mrs Harry warned me.

I stopped in my tracks.

"I don't know what is happening here, the last thing I remember is us cuddling together, I just woke...." I tried to speak , but my words were cut off.

"Shut up, even when the truth is before our eyes, you dare lie to us! Who gave you the right to speak after doing something this shameful, only a shameless man will refuse to take responsibility for his actions!" She shouted angrily, as she shook her head in disappointment.

"I said it ,that you are a scum and didn't know how to appreciate anything good, how dare you cheat on my daughter, today that's supposed to be special in her life!" Mrs Harry yelled more at me.

"I didn't do anything, I love my wife, I would never harm her, please believe me." I said in a pleading tone.

"My love..." I tried to say.

"Shut up!" Riley yelled at me, as she wiped her tears from her eyes.

"I can not get the wife of a cheat, I can not be this degraded, never in my life!" Riley shouted as she glared daggers at me.

I was left speechless and looking for the right words to say.

Mr Harry came into the room in the and asked what was going on, it was said I cheated with the maid.

I tried talking and he told me, he would tell the guards to beat me up if I don't shut up.

"Sir please, it's better you beat me up than for me to be accused of something I didn't commit, I never cheated on her." I pleaded , ignoring all warnings.

"Bring it here." Mr Harry said ignoring my words, one of the guards left and returned with some papers.

"Sign these papers and get out of this house, if you want to live here alive." Mr Harry said with anger in his voice.

"I won't sign it, I didn't do anything." I said as I saw the heading of the papers.

It was divorce papers.

"Sign it or your pictures with your lover, will be all over the news tomorrow and we will sue you to court for stealing our belongings." He threatened.

"I never did anything you have accused me of." I refused to sign it ,as I shook my head and took steps backwards.

"This boy is playing with me, beat him and breaks his fingers, we can always say he fell by accident." Mr Harry said as he stepped aside and the bodyguard approached me as my eyes widened.

"I didn't do anything, you have to believe me." I cried out in frustration as he took out his phone to make a call, while the bodyguards were approaching me and I was trying to run away from them.

"Hello, yes , we have the pictures, it's caption, oh ...the useless ,live-in son in law cheated on his wife with a maid." Mr Harry said as he looked straight into my eyes and I forgot where I was for a moment and the bodyguards apprehended me and I was left baffled by the whole situation.

The bodyguard grabbed my finger twisting it as the other held me and I let out an ear piercing scream as I began kicking and shouting.

"Don't break his fingers yet, we need him to sign the papers." Mr Harry said nonchalantly and he stopped.
