If not for Love

Once upon a time in the hidden heart of Paris, a beautiful pair lived in a small cottage. This beautiful pair were popularly known as LG since they were known for their inseparable marriage features.

They lived a simple and uncomplicated lifestyle. They had 3 children. Two boys, Ethan and Liam and a girl named Zither. Zither was known for her amicable vocal quality and her beauty was plainly seen among men..

Ethan and Liam both had the ability to perfect drawings and all forms of crafty works. This made Mr and Mrs LG feel among rather than Left out in the society.

At one point in time, Mr LG all of a sudden starting keeping late nights and when asked by the wife, he'll fly the handle and angrily reply that he has been working just to improve their financial status and also elevate their children skills.

Mr LG no longer had time for the family because of his new work and when told by the wife, he'll use abusive words on her saying she's not being supportive and that she wants them to remain how they were which can never be possible.

Most at times Mrs LG would give him food when he returns at night but he'll claim he ate already. Mrs LG was so much awestruck by the sudden change in countenance and behaviour that she was compelled to ask why her husband behaves the way he does.

Ethan and Liam alongside Zither were just spectators seeing what was literally going on because they were about to start secondary school. LG no longer took responsibilities as the head of the family.

Mrs LG has been going through a lot these days from the behaviour of her husband that some in the neighborhood noticed and started murmuring. Mrs LG became the family head in providing for her children's needs.

Having seen her plight, friends told her to leave the house with her children for a better place. Mrs LG was unable to do so because she wanted to keep her marriage vows that for better or for worse, she'll always love Mr LG.

She decided to strategize and fulfill her role as a wife so that her husband can see and probably make some changes in his lifestyle. The only time he had time for his children was during weekends when he doesn't go to work.

He wife became so suspicious about that work because at least, he would have given attention to his wife when he comes back but he does as if he doesn't have a family. Mr LG one day decided to find out the nature of his work.

She secretly followed him one morning and reach a place that looks like a mansion. She was perplexed though but decided to remain calm until he enters they mansion. As he enters, she saw a lady rushing to meet him as they hugged each other and entered the mansion together.

Mrs LG was flabbergasted but kept her pace until she understood what was happening. She didn't want to conclude immediately until she got the fact. She remained there for some minutes before tip toeing into the gate.

She bribed the gatemen to allow her enter the mansion but before doing so, she collected every necessary details she needed. She was told the man usually come here every morning stay with the woman and her children and then go late in the night.

Mrs LG went in with so much annoyance. As she opened the door, what she saw made her faint. What did she see? Will she ever forgive her husband for being deceitful ? How would Mrs LG children react if told? Keep in expectation for part 2 of this story next week Wednesday.

The part 2 would give detailed explanation of the story title. If not for Love, what would Mrs LG have done?
