“We can’t, no matter what you say or do, I won’t be able to get past this.” I hissed at him, letting the fury–filled tears fall.
“Why am I the only one trying Leo?” He yells discouragingly as his shoulders sack down.
“Because I am not the one who cheated on my husband with my boss,” I boomed at him grimacing
at the hurtful words.
“Let’s just pretend for a second. With you in my place, suppose I cheated on you with my Boss, what would you do?” I asked, he visibly flinched at the question, disgust masking his face, and then anger followed right back as he clenched his jaw.
“I would kill that man,” he growled. “Why do we always get to Boss, you saw how he acted he had no right interfering in our lives, –” he begins his whining but I stop him midway.
“I just want an honest answer, Wilson,” I warned him.
“To be honest, I will try to give you a chance,” he answers, his voice lacking confidence and I found
it ridiculous
“How sweet,” I chuckled shaking my head, gulping the distaste speaking to him was leaving in my
mouth.
“Just accept it, Wilson, we can’t go back from this,” I said, expressing my conclusion.
“Don’t you love me anymore?” he crooks out tears glistening in his eyes, for a split second I saw
him as the man I loved, my Wilson then the vision with him that women took over my senses, and I
restrained back.
“I could ask you the same Wilson, did you not love me anymore, did you not find me attractive anymore, was I lacking something? What made you go to her?” Asking I let a depressing whimper
escape.
“Oh God, no. It wasn’t like that sweetheart, you’re beautiful and amazing. I was an asshole, stupid,–
he trails off bitterly. “But I regret it, every second of it. My God Leo, I have never felt so dirty and
disgusted before. I can’t look in the mirror.” He agonizes gesturing toward himself.
His face twisted in pain, matching mine, but we both were hurting because of entirely different
reasons.
“I feel like I am losing everything Leo, I feel like I am dying.” He cries out, tears falling rapidly from
his eyes.

I stood there silently unable to form any words or emotions, I had no assurance or chance I could give him, I’d run out of it. He cries into his palms for a few minutes, shoulders shaking, sobs raking.
My heart twisted but it was just whatever human empathy was left in me because I am sure the love I harboured for him, is dead. I closed my eyes at the harsh remembrance, memories that never leave me skimming through my head.
Us being in love, being silly, being romantic, becoming a married couple, becoming parents creating, carving a home together. Our regular bickering, our silly habitual arguments, our boring
yet beautiful routines. Our life together.
It would only exist in memories now.
Willy my baby. I am so sorry. Your mother couldn’t be strong enough to forgive him for you.
I opened my eyes to his touch, his hands cupping my face, I blinked through my tears, his own eyes
watering.
“We can do this Leo, we can get past this. I swear on my daughter, I only ever loved you, I will do anything to make this better.” He whispers shuddering.
“Please, just please.” Continuing his begging miserably.
I raised my hands, and his eyes developed hope, I held his fingers clasping my face.
“Remove your hand,” I told him politely crushing that spark in his orbs.
“What?” He blinks out of his daydreaming. “Leo, don’t tell me you still don’t feel something between us, our connection.” He urged tightening his hold.
“I am not going to say this again Wilson, take your hands off me right now.” I struggled to get his hands off me, as smoothly as I could, but he was harshly protesting.
“I would never stop convincing you.” He declares. Then in an instant, he hauled me by the neck, his lips were on mine, kissing me with force, shocking me.
“Hmmm,” I attempted to remove his hold on my neck as he sucked my mouth making me sick. I constantly slammed my fists on his chest, but he didn’t budge.
Finally, I kicked his leg with my heels and he backed off panting, leaving my lips bruised by the biting he had just done. Then he shakes his head like a maniac, staring at my dishevelled posture and his eyes turning guilty.
I lifted my hands to my lips, where a little droplet of blood had formed, instead of sorrow or

surprise that a man I trusted, who stayed with me this long could do this, I was angrier than shocked. I trembled with both outrage and disrespect that he had just caused, fresh tears brimmed my eyes, I’d never felt so violated before.
“Leo,” I raised my hand slapping him hard across the face, which caused it to toss sideways, the sound echoed through the empty parking lot.
“The only time we will be meeting now is going to be in the Court Wilson McConnell,” I yelled over my back rushing to my car, starting it and driving off once he jumped out of the way realizing I wouldn’t mind running it over his body.
