Chapter3
Leona
I was in a trance, in a hollow nightmare, shivering, fidgeting with some invisible hands that kept pulling me somewhere and I was struggling to come back to reality and at the same time wanting to
avoid it.
As soon as I pulled into my parent’s driveway, I made sure my daughter was securely climbed out of the car and placed her in the wheelchair just then my sister–in–law came running, taking hold of the chair. Between our four–hour drive, I stopped at a gas station and got Wilona to eat something, told my parents with nasty sobbing sentences that I was coming over because I had nowhere else to
- go.
I couldn’t have stayed in a hotel, I didn’t want to be near that man, I wanted to be near my family, my parents and my brothers. I glanced up at her with stinging teary eyes, and a snort–filled nose, plus my dishevelled state might have announced a lot too.
My parents and elder brother instantly rushed out to hold me, taking me inside carefully as I walked like a dead body forced to be alive.
“Leona, look at me. What happened? What might have been so crucial for you to have rushed out ou had an accident?” My mother like that in the middle of the night w
Auto–added to the Library became frantic, shaking me vigorou
I bit my lip, choking on the tears and pain spreading throughout my chest. I could no longer stand, my legs were shaking and I had lost patience.
“Mom, please. Look at her.” I heard my brother’s voice fade in the background. Everything along with my body got heavier by the passing second, I was being squeezed by an unseen whip, tightening around me as I stood motionless hearing my family throwing question after question at
- me.
My stomach clenched brChapter2
“How?” I crooked out a word.
How did it happen? How did it come to this? Just how?
“We, oh my God no, I., I mean my boss, Alenia she told me to accompany her to a party, it was in some high–end club.” Stuttering, he rubbed his chest still crying.
I hate that woman! I warned her when it was someone else who needed it.
I held my cries back, the pain was bringing numbness, and everything was glitching.
“She told me I wasn’t myself nowadays, and then she.” He hissed at the last part as if it burned his tongue, I wanted to cover my ears and let myself become deaf forever, but at the same time, I wanted to hear it.
“She went down on me.” Averting his gaze he confessed, the same gaze that looked at me with love, respect and admiration was now wavering.
At that moment, I wished I was blind so I didn’t have to see my husband, who I thought was my soul mate and would never hurt me, just confess to being a cheater.
Images started forming in my head, how she might have started and how my husband had finished and uncontrollably a sob escaped my mouth, a cry from deep within my guts.
I started stepping backwards, it was almost unbelievable, every memory we had flowed through my mind like they say your life flashes in front of your eyes minutes before dying.
Our marriage was on the same verge now.
He did it! He made one mistake, that you could never come back from, one that’s unforgivable and irreparable.
“Leo, I’m sorry. We can talk, I’ll tell you everything. I love you please.” He begged and kneeled with a thud, his hands joined. His guilt flowed with his tears. The last time I saw him cry was when our daughter almost died.
Did he remember us at the moment when he was letting her pleasure him?
Did he think about me?
“Did you come? Was she good?” I asked out of sudden plain curiosity, my faith in him was fading with each word we exchanged.
“What? No, darling no.” He shook his head, a morph of disgust taking over his features.

“ANSWER ME NOW,” I yelled at the top of my lungs, I am sure the roof of his pathetic brain shook.
“Yes, I did and no, she wasn’t good.” Murmuring, he trailed off again avoiding my eyes I gritted my
teeth.
“Did you fucked her?” Swallowing the nauseousness he was causing, I asked.
“Oh God no. Never. Never wanted it, never thought about it.” He rushed to reply, his gaze lowering
again.
“Look at me Wilson, fucking look at me you coward,” I roared, clutching my stomach the ache kicking inside, maybe it was the bile from the intense disgust I was feeling.
“Leo, baby are you okay?” He stood up, concerned and I raised a hand.
“You no longer have any right to touch me, call me baby,” I growled with a tone I’ve never or was
forced to use before with him.
“You disgust me, Wilson, I hate you. How could you do that to me? You didn’t have the guts to say it to my face? That you no longer want me? You knew I absolutely, loathe cheaters and cheating. You knew this would destroy everything.” I screamed at him.
With my growing disgust, the flames of his betrayal were burning our love on the bonfire of his announcement. Our past is now all smoke and sparks, and our future fading.
“No, no, I want you, I love you. It was a mistake, I am so sorry god I am so sorry Leo. Please,” he pleaded, now crying hysterically.
“YOU DISHONOURED ME IN FRONT OF ANOTHER WOMAN, YOU DISRESPECT OUR LOVE, AND YOU MURDERED OUR MARRIAGE, AND I FUCKING HATE YOU FOR THAT,” I shouted between painful gasps, knots of deception were tying inside me, twisting my heart.
He whimpered trying to come closer but stayed back at my glaring.
“You killed us, you killed us,” I mumbled, slowing down my cries since it was triggering terrible pain in my belly.
“Leo,” he attempted again reaching out to hold my trembling hand.
“Don’t you touch me, you cheating bastard?” I spat ambling back failing to handle the situation.
“You reek of infidelity.” I scrunched my face at that. His words, words of brutal truth repeated…..
echoed around me.
Yes, I did.
I cheated on you.

Oh my god! Oh my god! Wilona, what am I going to tell her?
“We are done! I deadpanned. Feeling my heart and love to shatter along with the statement.
“We are so done, Wilson Andrew McConnell,” I repeated, still unable to believe it has come to this.
It all flooded my mind, our years together, from being in a relationship to moving together, from marrying to buying our own house. From having Wilona to wanting more kids.
I needed to leave, I needed to get away. The house of our dreams, the home of our love was now choking me, the walls we painted with our hands, creating memories, were closing down on me.
I rushed to the stairs, with him following me, before he could stumble out with me I closed the door locked the door latch, sprinted down the stairs and locked the second door as well. I am in great debt to whoever made those heavy wooden doors.
“LEONA! He yelled knocking on the door furiously.
“I SWEAR I LOVE YOU! He roared, and the pounding of the door increased.
It wasn’t just the door of the attic I closed on him, I closed the door of entrance in my life and heart.
I rushed to Wilona, carefully pulled her wheelchair and began wheeling her to the front door. The suitcase was in the living room, I grabbed it, making sure my daughter was seated securely, I stuffed the trunk with the suitcase and started the car. She was curious but didn’t ask anything, only wiping a tear when I was fastening her seat belt. My poor baby.
“LEO! I heard him shouting my name, that’s all he would ever have from any part of me.
I was not just leaving this house, I was leaving him.
Funny that one thing you thought wouldn’t ever happen to you and you hate it and wonder how people so easily break off their marriages, becomes the only right option.
Divorce.
With defeated strength and crushed out dignity, I drove to my parent’s place with hundreds of questions fogging my brain but one kept topping it all.
How could you do this to me, us Will?
How could you?
1utally twisting my lungs in a way I could be sure it was ramming into each other. I held it tightly, groaning in discomfort and doubling over
She went down on me.
I fucking cheated.
I’m so sorry.
The words that roamed through my mind like fire flamed my senses, my vision blurred and I could feel myself sliding down to the floor in my brother’s arm, losing whatever consciousness I had. When I woke up, my parents were by my side worried and scared, it took me a minute to get settled before I slid up on the bed.

“Wilona? I asked, breathlessly.
“She’s fine, she’s sleeping.” My mother assured me. My dad quickly sat beside me engulfing me in his arms and I leaned on him seeking some sort of comfort.
“Baby, you’re scaring us. Wilson called, he was terrified and crying. We need to know what happened?” My mother asked, tears forming in my eyes from the fresh, unexpected betrayal from the one who was my whole world.
“He,” a hiccup escaped my mouth, “he cheated on me mom, he cheated on me,” I whispered breaking down into the tears I was holding back. Hysterical sobs shook my entire body, and my mother’s arm quickly encircled me.
It was a brutal reality hitting me bone–deep at the same time it felt unbelievable. I couldn’t think straight, my mind was shutting down, and his words kept repeating inside my head on a loop, chewing my sanity like a fungus, nothing else made sense. The world around me was spinning in
circles.
I cheated

She went down on me.
She went down on me

She went down on me.
“NO,” I wailed at the top of my lungs hands on my ears.
“Calm down, Leona calm down. Think about Wilona, think about your daughter, you need to calm down,” a feminine voice rapidly shook me pulling me out of the vision that was crushing my skull. I need to calm myself, I need to hold it together for my daughter, I don’t want the stress and confusion of the situation to destroy her childhood any more than it already is.
Thinking about her slowed the pressure and panic, at this time I need to be a strong mother to my
daughter.
“Seb, bring her water. Now.” My father called out.
I cheated
The bitter, backstabbing words from my husband sickened me to the guts. A glass was placed in

front of my face and I forcefully gulped it down, it didn’t help to relieve the rising headache,
“Leona, how did you find out?” Katrina kneeled in front of me, her eyes filled with tears and I gritted my teeth. Before I could reply I heard a commotion and my father dashed outside.
