I knocked on Brad's door and waited for him to answer it. Right now I was lost in my thoughts of telling him the situation I was in and about the contract between me and Daryl. I know he'll be mad and angry but apart of me wished and hoped that he would understand. I only did it for my mom, nothing else. She means the world to me and I can't think about the wrongs of signing the contract with a married man because I don't regret it. it was for a good cause.
The door was opened revealing a tired- looking Brad. His hair was tossed in many directions and he was shirtless and his body was glistening with sweat. He looked like he had just finished working out. He seemed a bit surprised to see me.
" Stella, I didn't know you were coming over, he said running a hand over his face.

He stated that I must look decent enough if I'm to be by his side.After he was finished admiring himself, he took up his phone and walked off with me rolling my eyes and following behind him.

When I first came here she was nice and seemed like the perfect the wife - but I was wrong.After we came home that day I came across Amanda who was in the living room in her robe sipping a glass of wine.

few days laterStella "You found someone else didn't you!?"I watched as Amanda shouted at Daryl who was sitting on the couch, in the living room, with his legs crossed while sipping a glass of wine. He didn't looked moved at all by her shouting as he continued to ignore her. Her face held all types of emotions as she balled her fists while glaring at Daryl. "Is she better than me?! What did she have that I didn't?! Is it because of her that's why you're treating me like this!? Like a stranger!?." Daryl was still unmoved. My own emotions I couldn't even explain. It was really hard to think that Amanda is so oblivious to her infedilty with Leon. It was like she couldn't figure out that her husband found out long ago and that's why he's acting this way.
