The Chronicles of a Faithful Husband

Sometimes, just when we think we've got everything planned out, life throws us unexpected curveballs. Often, these twists are something we wouldn't even wish on our worst enemies. However, some individuals handle these challenges with strength, grace and resilience, while some may sadly choose to end their lives in search of permanent peace. Who are we to judge? Who are we to question?

This is the case of Diana Matthewton.

An interesting story of a beautiful, kind-hearted, and intelligent energetic-woman. For her, everything seemed to have fallen in line without much struggle. Not until the other part of life decided to pay her a great visit.

Diana Matthewton had recently broken off a toxic relationship and was ready to take on the world when she unknowingly crossed paths with George Smith. It wasn't in the plan, nor was it what she wanted at the moment, but fate didn't care whether she was ready.

Without George having to do much, Diana surprisingly found herself wallowing in his pool of love. But then, it wasn't so bad because she had her fairy tale, a man who loved her beyond all doubt, and she loved him in return. It was perfect and more than anything she could have ever dreamt of.

Of course, there is no such thing as perfection without imperfections. Diana had a secret she kept to herself, a secret she swore to take to her grave. A hidden piece of the past capable of destroying everything she'd built. But sadly, life told on her. The secret crawled out in the open, and the choice was taken out of her hands.

With her world torn apart, she struggled all alone to save her marriage, her child, and even her own life. Will this be a love story with a happy ending? Not sure! Very little can be done to heal a battered soul.

CHAPTER ONE

NO DISTRACTIONS

DIANA MATTHEWTON WOULD HAVE LOVED to do a jiggle dance right then and there. It was finally over. She’d had lots of sleepless nights over the past few weeks preparing for the science project. It had felt like a heavy weight had been rolled onto her chest when she was told she’d be spearheading a group project once again. Sometimes, it could be tough when she was known for credible intelligence; she’d find herself being chosen for things she didn’t even apply for.

Ravens High was one of the best high schools in the whole of California and being categorized as one of the best students was no child’s play either; she’d had to sweat out the A’s and a couple of B+ she’d had. This was her junior year; her results had been impressive so far, but they could be better, and she wasn’t relenting until she was rated as number one and not the third runner up. She might sound too ambitious, but it is what it is.

“Sugar plum, over here!”
“Just look at that pert butt.”

She heard them alright, but she wasn’t paying any attention to them. She simply walked down the stairway and made her way towards her locker to place her books in for the day. She flipped her long chestnut hair to the right since it was getting into her line of view. She was beautiful—white creamy porcelain skin, long, shapely legs and the most beautiful hazel eyes to be bestowed upon any woman.

She nodded to a couple of classmates who waved at her in greetings as she passed by.
