Chapter 1
- I was on my way home from work. I had to leave earlier than my closing time. I have been sick lately. I just have to relax, I guess. My body felt sore, easily gets tired, and had headaches and so on, I should be worried but I wasn't because I was never almost sick. That doesn't mean you can't get sick.
- I sighed, I drove slowly because I felt dizzy, maybe I should just come down and take a cab or something? That would be stressful so I decided to continue my slow drive home. Soon I got home, Carson, my husband, won't be home by now, he left earlier today to go sign some contracts, which was good because I don't want him worried about me being sick. Whenever I am sick, Carson stresses himself and refuses to go to work just to take care of me.
- I giggled remembering the day I had a fever. He refused to go to work so he could be with me. Fulfilling all of my wishes. I am seriously so lucky to have someone like him in my life.
- I drove into the garage and stopped the car.
- I got out of my car and locked it, I spotted Carson's car. Well, that's a surprise, it was only 2 pm. Maybe he got the contracts and signed them. I'm so proud of him!
- I guess I can't hide that I am sick today. I walked to my front door and unlocked it. The sitting room was dead silent.
- Where was he? It's either he is here or he's in his home office. So if he is not here then he would be in his home office. I strolled to his little office and called "Carson?" I was replied with silence
- "Carson?" I called again, this time my voice louder. He wasn't in the sitting room or his office. He must be in our room, then. But that's odd.
- I mopped through the stairs to where our room was. "Sweetheart, I am home!" I say sweetly. I moved closer to the door, I stopped in my tracks when I heard moans. I giggled. Was he watching porn?
- "Baby?" I called opening the door, my eyes widened, and my heart suddenly beats faster than ever. I could hear my heart beating against my chest, and tears gathered in my eyes.
- They stopped, and she got off him, I swear I just saw her smirk at me, I heard Carson groan, and next to him was the girl I called my best friend.
- I moved away from the door, closing the door behind me, I turned to walk away. This had to be a dream. Oh god, please let it be a dream.
- Running out, I went to my car. I didn't want to be anywhere near them at that moment, but I didn't know why I waited for like five minutes, Hoping he would come to meet me and explain this. I drove off, going to only god knows where.
- More tears spilt out of my eyes, why? Why would he do that? I thought he loved me.
- And why does it have to be with Sara? Someone who was like a sister to me, I can't believe she would do such a thing.
- It felt like my heart is been ripped off my chest.
- My hands started shaking. I had to stop driving, I parked my car on the side of the road and started crying, so hard.
- You would regret going to him someday! My aunt's voice screamed at me.
- He's going to use and dump you!
- Don't return here when he does, I won't accept you! You should reconsider getting married to him!
- These made me cry harder. She had been right, I guess. She had always been against my relationship with Carson.
- Someone knocked at the window of my car. "Hey, sorry for disturbing you but it's getting late and it's really dangerous out here." A guy said.
- I slowly turned my head to look at the time. 6:57 pm?? I looked back at the man. "Thank you." I could barely hear myself, not sure if he heard until he nodded his head. "You're welcome." He said. I sighed and drove off.
- I was so confused, I didn't know what to do, I finally got to the house, and my body felt numb.
- When I got in, I saw Carson in the sitting room, he was talking to someone on the phone.
- His eyes met mine for a brief minute and he cuts the line of whosoever he was calling.
- "Sign that." I looked at where he was motioning at a paper on a paper holder, and my eyes widened when I saw its contents.
- He was going to divorce me? I didn't want a divorce. Yes, I am angry at him for cheating, my blood was boiling but I didn't want to divorce him. He's Carson, the man I married, the man I love. I have always treasured him, told him how much I love him and he told me he loved me too. He showed his love for me in all kinds of ways. I can't believe this! "Cars-" he cuts me off when he snapped. "Just fucking sign it." he snapped.
- "Carson, you don't have to do this. We can still make our marriage work out. Please, I love you, Carson, please! Don-"
- "Make what work out, Tessa? I have been in this loveless marriage for three years! Just fucking sign the paper and get the fuck out of my house!" He gritted.
- I was shocked. Loveless. Does he think our marriage was loveless? I was scared to say anything back to him because he looked so angry and I have never seen him this angry before. It scared me.
- Were you thinking of staying with him after what you saw earlier?? My subconsciousness screamed at me. I just could not imagine not being with him.
- With tears spilling out of my eyes I moved closer to him, "Carson, please don't do this, you've always said you love me a-" he cuts me off again.
