Chapter One: Lost Paradise

Hinata sits at her radiology practice looking out the window, she enjoys her job very much, and she really has a passion for it, in fact Hinata was in a state of bliss as she thought about how good her life is. She's married to a well-known and impressively successful entrepreneur who adores everything about her, and she is head over heels in love with him, Sasuke Uchiha. She has two of the greatest friends any woman could ask for Ino and Ten Ten, and couldn't wait to get together once they came back to town. The best part was that she and Sasuke just agreed to start trying for a baby.

As she thought about all this she felt like she was the luckiest woman on earth and spun around in her swivel chair.

Unfortunately, for Hinata in a few moments, her perfect world was about to come crashing down and send her on the ride of her life.

Later that day

It was almost time to leave so Hinata begins to pack up some files that she wants to review when she gets home. 'I wonder if he'll be as romantic as last time,' She blushes as she thinks about making sweet love to Sasuke hopefully getting pregnant as well.

Suddenly she hears her office phone buzz and presses the speaker, "Mrs. Uchiha your husband is on his way up." Her assistant says. Hinata hurriedly fixes her hair and attire wanting to look perfect for her husband's gaze. He opens the door and her smile fell instantly.

"Sasu hunny, what's wrong? Why do you look so upset?" She asks in a deeply concerned tone.

Sasuke glares at her with intense fury as if he was ready to rip her apart. He throws his phone at her "What the fuck is this?" He says it quietly but she could hear the anger in his voice.

Hinata looks at the phone, it was on his social media timeline. Suddenly, her eyes were as wide as ever and she gasps loudly, it was a picture of her and a man, she was wrapped in his arms and his face was pressed against hers, she was kissing Kiba Inazuka. Hinata closes the app and looks back at Sasuke. She licks her lips as they were starting to dry and her throat starts to burn fearing that things were about to escalate.

"Hunny I can explain" She says as she approaches her husband. It really wasn't much of a big deal in her head but was aware of the trouble she was in, she reaches to hold his cheek.

"It's just a simple misunderstanding I wa-" she shudders as Sasuke catches her hand and pulls it away from his face stepping backwards.

"Go on explain," Sasuke says as he lets go of her hand and leans himself in the doorway.

"Explain it to me… explain HOW THE FUCK YOU'RE KISSING SOMEONE ELSE!" Sasuke yells, he surprised himself as he never dreamed he would ever curse at the love of his life but the pain in his chest made him feel as though he wanted to burn her to ashes.

Hinata stood surprised, then her focus shifts to look behind him and saw that staff was beginning to look into her office and make some remarks she couldn't hear.

She composes herself "We'll talk about it at home, just give me five minutes." She says in a faint voice not wanting her staff to hear her.

He nods his head condescendingly as he walks out of her office "I'll be in the car."

She quickly grabs the remaining paperwork and hurries to meet up with him. She carpools with him as his office is just up the road from her practice.

She enters the car and they drive home in complete silence, she wanted to say something but the look on his face made her want to crawl into a hole and die.

They finally get home, the car ride felt like it lasted an eternity but it was only thirty minutes, Sasuke sighs, gets out, and slams the car door. Hinata nervously takes out her briefcase and follows him inside their home. She closes the door behind her and Sasuke throws his keys on the entrance table, undoes his tie, and turns around to face her.

"Now… You were saying?" He says in a much more relaxed tone but with a blank look on his face.

Hinata drops her briefcase, "I don't know what else to say but it's not what it looks like." She says in a fairly confident voice.

He scoffs "Ohh really, sorry for my misinterpretation of my wife with another man's TONGUE DOWN HER THROAT!"

"Please stop yelling at me it's not what it looks like I wasn't-." Her mouth was stopped by his finger pressing against her lips

"Don't lie to me," Sasuke says while looking down at her.

Hinata swallows the lump that started to form in her throat.

"Okay," She says as she walks past him "I'll tell you everything and this is the truth."

Sasuke turns to her and nods his head.

"It happened about two weeks ago, I got a call from a lady who said she needed to see me urgently in the morning about a result she had gotten. That's the day I left for work early."

~Flashback~

Hinata was walking up to her practice as usual when Kiba came out of nowhere, she knows Kiba they're good friends. He greets her.

"Hey Hinata, how are you?" He said in an exhausted tone

"Kiba, what are you doing here? And at this hour?"

"I-uh well I wanted to see you Hinata, I really needed to see you again, it's been so long," Kiba said as he walked closer to her

"Ok, so what's up?" She asked casually while looking for her office keys

Kiba looked over towards the bushes on his right and then embraced Hinata, he put one arm around her hip and one on her face and smothered himself on her lips.

It was less than ten seconds and Hinata quickly gave him the slap of his life. "What on earth are you doing Kiba?!" She shouted as she charged away from him to open her office door

He was shocked at her reaction she was normally timid and approachable he didn't see this coming and tried to plead with her he had hoped she felt somewhat the same after all, he admired her for so long.

"Hinata I-I I'm so sorry please forgive me I just wanted to see if you had any feelings for me," Kiba said as he looked at her terrified.

"Feelings?! Are you insane?! I'm married Kiba you know that, why would I feel anything for you romantically?" She opens the door and turns to Kiba "As a matter of fact consider this friendship over I never want to see you again Kiba goodbye."

Kiba frowned and he slapped himself in the face

"How could I be so stupid" He had ruined his friendship all because someone urged him to reveal his feelings for Hinata.

~End of Flashback~

Sasuke was listening to her relive the morning in question but as he listened on all he could hear were the thoughts flooding his mind.

'What else has she ever lied to me about?'

'How many times did she meet with him?'

'Has she been with anyone else?;

'Was she ever going to tell me?'

'What did I do to deserve this?'

'How could she stand there and lie to me when she knows I saw the photo?'

He looks down on his phone and glances at the comments ridiculing his wife, mocking her leaked infidelity and his inability to please her. He walks away from her heading to grab a drink as he feels his eyes beginning to tear up.

She continues talking about that night with little remorse in her speech but watching Sasuke closely. To her it was nothing too serious she never cheated on her husband, she loved everything about him. She knew Sasuke had good reason to be upset but the kiss didn't have any effect on her. It wasn't an affair, it was just a simple misunderstanding, just a dumb kiss that unfortunately someone witnessed. She didn't even think about it after it happened, Kiba and the kiss were that insignificant to her.

Sasuke was still deep in thought as he pours his liquor, he takes a sip and looks at his wife with nothing but pain in his eyes and sorrow in his heart. He couldn't believe what was happening, his Hinata, the love of his life, and the only thing that truly mattered to him in this world was lying to his face. Sasuke blinks away his tears angrily. He was convinced she was lying, it all made sense in his head.

'She never left for work so early before'

'She always allowed me to carry her to work but that morning she refused and told me that I should sleep in'

'If Kiba had kissed her as some misunderstanding why didn't she just tell me right after it had happened, why did she keep something like that a secret.'

Sasuke lets out a big sigh as he finishes his drink, he glares at her and slams his glass into the sink frightening Hinata "Enough! Just stop I've heard enough." He turns and shakes his head rubbing his temples.

"S-so do you see? it was just a misunderstanding hunny, I love you it was nothing" Hinata nervously says as she starts to move closer to hold him.

He stares at her bitterly and says, "I don't believe a word you said…"

"So just tell me how many times exactly has someone else kissed you while we've been married?"

Angered by his question, she stomps up to him and slaps him rocking his face to the right "How dare you ask me that, I've never kissed anyone else"

Sasuke was now completely engulfed by rage, he quickly snaps his face back to her, grips her forcefully, and shook her, it frightens her again.

"How dare I? How DARE I?! HOW DARE YOU!" He shouts

"Why would you keep this a secret from me if you had nothing to hide Hinata?! You promised me" His voice cracked at the end, the tears were starting to flow freely and Hinata could see the severe pain her supposed infidelity had brought him. He hadn't said her name like that in years, and she's never seen him so distraught.

"I-I'm sorry it wasn't-"

He looks at her venomously, again placing one finger on her lips, and says "shhhh" his head was spinning he needed to get away from her.

He shrugs her away and storms out the front door, Hinata tried to stop him but the anger was radiating. She has never seen her husband this mad before and it scared her to think how much this would impact them, she needs advice. However, when she turns on her cellphone to call her best friends she realizes that her messages were blowing up and she had tons of missed calls.

She opens her messages to see that friends and family were all equally concerned as to what had happened between her and Kiba, it was all over her social media.

Hinata sits on her couch and throws her phone across the room, she was confused she didn't know where to turn, Sasuke had just walked out on her and it seemed as if everyone she knew believed she was having an affair.

"Why is this happening to me?" She whispers as she starts sobbing, bringing her knees up to her chest and bowing her head into them.
