THE BETRAYAL © Grace O.O Part 2 "No, I can't do this". Tony shook his head vehemently. He couldn't bear the thought of cheating on his fiancee. "Alright then. Just wait till she finds out". Linda retorted and laid back in bed. Tony held his head in confusion. Serena returned later in the day looking tired and flustered. She felt heavy but couldn't place the reason why she felt that way. She met Linda in the living room watching TV. "Hey babe! How's you?". Serena said smiling. "I'm good love. How was your trip?". Linda asked. "It was fine. I tried calling your number yesterday but it was switched off. Tony's number also didn't go through. I've been calling his number since morning but he's not picking". Serena told her. "Mmm... that's strange of him. Why would he do that?". Linda asked. "I don't know too. Maybe he's angry that I didn't call him before going for the trip. Did he come around last night?". Serena queried. "No. I didn't see him come around, I thought he didn't come because you had informed him about your absence". Linda replied looking surprised. "That's weird. He has never done it before". Serena said. "Are you sure you are the only one he's dating?". Linda asked suspiciously. Serena looked at her in shock. "He won't dare cheat on me". "My dear Serena, don't trust man o. They are devilish and scheming. They only use and dump women. They'd promise you heaven and earth but dump you when they get another lady who satisfies them than you". Linda told her and went inside. "Tony is different from other men. He's not a cheat. He loves me". Serena muttered. _____________ Serena tried calling Tony's number but couldn't reach him. He later called her and put up an excuse that he had been busy with work lately. "My boss was around and assigned loads of work to me. I won't be able to make it to your place tonight". He said. "I understand dear. I would just stop by your office tomorrow then so we can talk". Serena replied. "It's not necessary. I don't want to have issues with my boss. You know what, I'll call you when I'm less busy. Good night". He said and hung up quickly. Serena wondered why he was acting strangely. "I hope what Linda told me it's not true. Could Tony be cheating on me?". She thought aloud. _____________ To be continued... May God keep us away from friends like Linda. #_pen_of_Grace
