Chapter 5: Face From The Past.

Lisa was still in shock with her lips parted in a wide gasp when the room door bursted open, the least unexpected person sauntering through the door.

“Kurt!” Her voice deepened with disgust as she called his name.

Kurt who just came in ignore the strange eyes present in the room and went straight to his wife, “I came as soon as I heard. How did this happen?-“

“Get out Kurt!” She shunned at him, tone rolling out her irritation as she cast him a repulsive glance.

He halted on his tracks, inches away from where Lisa laid on the bed.

“I think this is our cue to excuse them.” A man whispered out from behind to another to passed on the information.

At once they turned around, departing from the scene and leaving Kurt alone with his wife except for Leo who was still present.

He was originally the one who passed out the sentence to excuse the room. He went to the bed, “Here are your things, the ones I picked earlier from your car.” He told her before dropping all the said belongings beside her on the bed.

“I will be outside.” He said, instantly turning around and walking out of the room.

“I mean it Kurt, don’t come near me and just get the hell out of my sight.” She spat out in pure disgust, marred with rage as she torn away her gaze from him.

“Lisa!” He called out softly, hurt by her treatment. “I’m telling you, I didn’t have anything to do with-“

“And you want me to believe you?” She butted in as she look up to his face, tears slowing brewing into her lashes.

Her lips quivered and anger shade over her expression of pain, “I saw you both naked on the bed, and let’s assume you did nothing or know like you claimed. You lied to me, told me you were alone at home-“

“I thought she would be returning back home yesterday, I didn’t know she would be sleeping over.” He defended in a sharp response, his pupils dilating with a reddish color as he blinked back the tears that were about dropping off his face.

He had never witness Lisa in such a state full of disdain, one fueled and directed at him. Lisa had always been so positive and good minded, seeing her this irritated and filled with rage made him question his emotions, his feelings.

How much is she hurting?

Back then when he would treated her with less value, with no worth and like a slave. How was she doing then and surviving, how did she stayed in love with him.

“You would thought she would be returning.” She scoffed after repeating his response in a sarcastic tone, her head nodding sideways as she reached out to the stuffs placed on the bed with her.

“I’m done Kurt, you’ve treated me enough. I’m going to file for divorce and you’re going to free me. You really should stop pretending now, you never loved me, I was a fool to ever believe you will or did.” She said to him, while she busied herself with putting her phone and car keys into her beg.

Done with it, she motioned her feet off the bed placing it into her heel that must have been taken off before they laid her down.

“What do you mean by that. Lisa you don’t mean it, you can’t file for divorce or mean anything you’re saying. I love you and you have to think of our baby, yes I accept that I own your pregnancy. Please Lisa, let’s think this through.” He sought into begging as he morphed a pleading look with his palms clasping together.

“You know you’ve done a lot of things right?” She quizzed with her head whipping to the side to face him.

“And I’m willing to spend the rest of my life making up for it. Don’t consider breaking things up with me, please I’m begging you.” He closed the space between them, sliding his arms around her body as he held her to fit into his arms.

“I’m swearing to you on my life, I had no idea what I had with Rhea, it wasn’t of my knowledge to end up in bed with her. I think she drugged me or something, but please don’t go through with whatever you are planning to do. I don’t want to lose you, I can’t lose you, I love you Lisa Briggs. Please, don’t leave me, I beg you.” He spoke out of his heart, that was drenched in his emotions.

Sincerity sparkled from his eyes as both pupils gazed down on Lisa, he stared into her eyes gaping right at her soul.

Lisa scoffed as she chewed on her tongue on the inside, glancing down at his feet as he let out a small chuckle.

“Damn. I almost fell again.” She said in a laughing voice, snickering at her own words.

“Get your hands off me!” She warned afterwards, her voice turning cold in an instant as she cast a glare down at the arms circling her waist.

“Lisa-“

“Ain’t you tired?” The veined questioning look went up to match his gaze, “Huh?” Her brows lifted .

“Aren’t you tired of lying and manipulating me? Of always using me and exhorting my genuine feelings for you? Are you not fucking tired already!” She yelled out, head tipping backward in the scream with her lids briefly concealing.

“Huh? Answer me you monster!” She brawled as she slammed her both hands on her chest, summoning all her strength into her hands as she pushed him away from her.

It was a vain attempt, Kurt never bulged. Instead tipped on the spot where he was as he allowed himself fell under the distress of his emotions, tears escaped his eyes, streaming down his cheeks.

“I’m not lying, Lisa. I really do love you.” He said out of sincerity.

“Then tell me why you were naked in bed with the secretary you’ve been fucking not once, not twice, not three times, but literally since we’ve been together! And remember when you first claim to love me and you’ve ended things with her, I told you to what? Sack her because I know she was a bad egg, you waved me off- probably because you will miss fucking her pussy and you were just trying to win your stupid bet with Marcus!”

Lisa said all in one go without taking a breath to keep her lungs steady, she fumed at him struggling to get out of his hold.

His hold weakened at the mention of Marcus, he gasped out silently as he stepped back and away from her.

She knew!

How long had she known.

“Speechless? Yeah that’s more like it, enough now with your lies. I will stop by your office to drop the divorce file, and I want you to know this Kurt. I’m not about to let you off so easily, you’re going to pay for each and every thing you’ve done to me.” She took a step forward uttering her statement, a menacing look surfacing her expression that glared fiercely at Kurt.

“From using me,” she pinned on her pinky as she began listing, “To abusing me, to treating me like I’m the absolute worst to exist. I will make you pay for everything.” She inferred, her brows lifted as she concluded her threat, stepping away from her and resuming the distance.

“And it is not Lisa Briggs anymore, it is Lisa Carter. You’re about to face karma.” With that muttered to his face, she marched right past him and outside exiting the room to him alone.

He stood there motionless, eyes gaping at the empty sight of the room.

He had truly lost his wife forever. He sank down to his knees, tears wheeling down his cheeks as he recalled to all he has done to her.

He never really wanted to be a monster towards her, but each time he remembers what was done to him, he couldn’t help the trigger, thus pushing him to doing formidable things.

He would take it all back if he could, he really would. And that this moment, played out in front of him is his moment of regret, where he wish to turn back the hand of time and rectify his wrong while in the doing.

Lisa stormed out of the wardroom, ridding her eyes of the liquid wetting it when she collided with Leo just some far paces down the hallway.

“Leo, I thought you’d be gone.” She said, looking at him with an awed face.

“Well I just found out the most interesting thing ever, I was coming to excuse you from your husband so I can discuss it with you.” He seemed hyped, super hyped about what he just discovered or found out.

“What is it?”

“I’m your brother Lisa, and I have been searching for you for quite the years. I’m your big brother.”

He is what?!
