If Your Wife Only Knew by Cydney Rax Read Free Book Online

out of control. I especially hate when married women lower themselves to the level of a—”
    â€œYou want to say ‘whore’?”
    â€œI did want to say it, and I will say it. The other woman is a ho!”
    â€œYou are entitled to your opinion, but why does that woman have to be called an ugly name only because she fell in love with the same man? Plus, you know nothing about the chick that the man is allegedly messing with.”
    â€œI don’t have to know anything about her,” Kiara snapped. “If he’s married, he’s off limits point blank period. She should know that.”
    â€œWhat she ‘should know’ always isn’t the case. Maybe he hasn’t admitted he’s married. You’d be surprised at how many men hide their status.”
    â€œNow, see, that’s just something I don’t understand. How can a man be living with his wife and going around acting like he’s single and ready to mingle? I’d kill Rashad if he denied me. Then I’d kill the other woman, too.”
    Alexis tried to place her shaking hands in her lap. “I’m sure you don’t have to worry about that with your man. You’re one of the lucky ones.” She forced herself to smile as she gazed at the family photo on Kiara’s desk. “Your family looks sooo nice. And I can tell you’ve got a special one right there.”
    Kiara thought about it and nodded. “Overall, I probably am fortunate to have him. But he’s the lucky one because he has me.”
    â€œHmm. He’s lucky, all right.”
    â€œOops, so sorry. I’m not trying to brag or anything. And Alexis, don’t give up hope. I’m sure in due time, the right man will come along for you, too.”
    â€œHow do you know he hasn’t already come along?”
    â€œOh, is that right? Well, I’d love to meet your man one day.”
    â€œMaybe you will.”
    â€œDo you have a photo of him in your phone?”
    Alexis stood up. This was her opportunity to tell Kiara that she was sleeping with Rashad. Her BlackBerry was tucked inside its Union Jack curve case; she opened the case, then snapped it shut. “I do have a photo, but I will show it to you some other time. I need to get going on that meeting request.”
    Alexis was just fucking with her boss, for she knew that she did not have a single photo of Rashad on her work cell phone.

    That afternoon, once the entire staff gathered again in the conference room, Kiara stood before all twelve employees appearing resolute and stern.
    â€œNormally, we do not meet about these types of topics, but considering what happened a couple of hours ago I felt it was necessary to bring everyone up to speed. I’ve met with the campus chief of police and one of the lieutenants. A woman whose spouse does work at TSWU came unannounced to our building today around one-thirty. She was screaming and causing a disturbance. Thankfully, she was unarmed. She wasn’t arrested but was issued a warning. I’m not sure if she also entered any other buildings before she found herself over here, but the good news is no one was hurt.”
    â€œWhy was she here? I missed the action,” asked Ellie, the assistant manager of marketing.
    â€œHer man ain’t right, that’s why she was here,” Shyla said and gave a smug look. “Me and my man Wesley are getting married the first weekend in November, and I let him know from the jump that I do not play when it comes to cheating. In fact, if we’re walking down the aisle towards the minister and if Wesley so much as looks at another woman, I will call off the wedding even before I say ‘I do.’ I will tell that minister, ‘Before you get started, I do not . It’s a wrap . And y’all don’t have to go home , but you gots to get the hell up outchea .’”
    Everyone except Alexis broke into laughter. She was trying to figure
