Chapter 31 Travis did not want to argue with her . He replied softly , " I'm still working at the company . Is there something you need ? " " Travis Hardy , what kind of motherfucking bullshit are you talking about ! " Amber cursed loudly . " I already asked your other colleagues , and they said you left an hour ago ! " Travis panicked . He hadn't expected Amber to have set a trap for him to fall into . " Tell me the truth , where are you now ? " Amber demanded . " Are you in some cheap bitch's bed ? " " I'm not , " he quickly denied . " What nonsense are you thinking ? I was just tired from work so I went out for a drink with my friend . " " Why did you lie about working overtime then ? " Amber persisted . After juggling his marriage to Larissa and his affair with Amber for so long , Travis had long mastered the skills of coming up with excuses on the spot . " I just didn't want you to misunderstand ! Your emotions have been so unstable lately . If you get too worked up and drive yourself crazy , I'll be the one to suffer ! " he said softly . Amber knew how he used to deceive Larissa . She wasn't going to fall for it that easily . " Who are you drinking with ? Have him answer the phone . " Travis looked anxiously around the empty bedroom . Suddenly , an idea struck him . He said to the empty air , " My wife wants to talk to you . " After a few seconds , he said again , " Just answer it . If you don't , she's going to get suspicious . " ' Just help a brother out , will you ? " His one - man show went on for a while before he told Amber , " He said he doesn't know you too well and feels too embarrassed to answer the phone . " " Ha ! " Amber mocked him coldly . " Travis , do you think I'm that stupid ex - wife of yours who takes your words at face value ? You have half an hour . If you aren't in front of me by then , I'll break everything I can find at home ! You know as well as I do that I'm capable of doing that ! " Travis ' frustration resurfaced . He didn't want to go back , but he had to . The house was rented under his name , and most of the furniture inside belonged to the tenant . If he let Amber destroy everything , he would be the one paying for the damages , and it would not be a small amount of money . Given their current financial situation , they would pretty much be broke when he was done paying for the losses . He rubbed his aching temples and , before he left , hoisted Larissa onto the bed . Larissa didn't think she would ever return to the bedroom she shared with Travis when they were married . In fact , she could not remember how she'd gotten there at all . She wandered around the house and found that her and Travis ' personal belongings were gone . All that was left were large pieces of furniture too heavy to be moved and some cheap decorations . The house was very dusty . It was evident that Travis did not live there . The only cleaner places in the house were the bed in the main bedroom , and a corner on the living room couch . Larissa did not know if she'd done that or if someone else had . When she returned to the hotel , she asked her assistant , " Did I go home by myself yesterday ? " " Of course not . " Her assistant didn't know why she would ask her something like that , but she informed Larissa honestly . " You were very drunk yesterday , and we didn't know where you lived , so we gave your husband a call . He was the one who brought you home ." " My husband ? " Larissa's face paled in shock . " Are you sure it was my husband ? " " Of course . " Her assistant nodded . " Didn't you used to have a picture of you and your husband as your lock screen ? I recognized his face , and the person who came to pick you up last night looked exactly like that picture . " Larissa's temples pounded . She felt as if her brain was about to explode from all the newfound information . She just didn't know if it was the aftermath of her hangover or her fear of the possibility of having spent the night with Travis .
