********* “Did you really come all the way here to tell me you were with another woman you slept with and impregnated?” “What?” Travis is the one who speaks, his voice echoing his shock as he looks from me to Kian. Kian’s usual blank look remains as if he is unaffected by my words and the pain he has caused me. “Let’s not do this here, Leslie. You know I can’t just leave her.” I scoff. “I never stopped you. You know what? You should have never come here. You should have stayed with her since that is where your loyalties lie now and I am no longer in the picture.” Kian frowns, moving closer and intimidating me just a little with his height and muscular frame, “What does that mean? You are my wife.” “Ex-wife,” I say the words without even thinking. I didn’t think any of this through but I don’t care because my entire being seems to agree that this is what’s best for me, “I want a divorce, Kian.” His eyes grow wide, unable to contain the shock at my words and I am proud of myself that I finally got a reaction that isn’t anger or coldness from him. “Both the divorce papers and my resignation will find their way to you soon.” I add before he can get over his shock and I don’t wait for him to reply as I turn to an equally stunned Travis. “Take me home, Travis.”

LESLIE’S POV Before I even get to feel bad for standing Travis up the entire afternoon, he slams the car door shut with a brute force that shakes the car and then he stalks forward like a cat. A big angry one. With his eyes set intently on me, he closes up the gap between us in seconds. “Travis
Kian tenses. It takes only a moment for me to understand what’s going on. Grandfather doesn’t know about the divorce and that’s not even the worst part. It’s the fact that he was lied to. This is Kian’s way of sorting things out? Of course, typical Kian.Grandfather turns to me again, “Child, did yo
LESLIE'S POVSomeone clears their throat and that breaks the stare. I look away first and fast, turning my attention back to grandfather who seems like he is trying to hide his face behind me. It surprises me but I soon understand why he is trying to hide his face when Kian stalks over, eyes hard an
LESLIE’S POVGrandfather passed out again after recognizing me in his split second of consciousness. It was just an after effect of the painkillers infused into the drip that’s connected to his body, according to the doctor. But I didn’t know that. And so as soon as grandfather passed out after cal
KIAN’S POV“Okay, explain to me in simple terms how you lost an ‘old man’ in the middle of a big city.” My voice is calm. Dangerously calm, judging by the direness of the current situation. Grandfather disappeared. Disappeared. That is the exact word the moron standing with his head bowed in fron
