As soon as she rushed out of the room I wore my black sweatpants and black hoodie and black sneakers.You know wearing black is a ritual when you follow someone .I hopped on my bike and yes it is also black in color.

I saw her driving and I followed her, making sure that I wasn't being caught. She got off her car and went into a dark alley. There was a man standing, I couldn't see his face, because it was all dark in there.

He had about 6 feet of height, he was wearing a armani. I saw Lexi taking out some papers and files and giving it to him. He took it and kept in his bag. Then I saw Lexi grabbing his tie and kissing him. I clicked a photo for proof. Within a few seconds I saw the man thrusting in her pushing her back on wall. They were at it wild out in the open. I couldn't see any more, so I went back home.

To be truthful I wasn't hurt, I was sad to know the friend I trusted would betray me. In a way I was relieved that I didn't had to marry her. I didn't wanted to make her my girlfriend, I wanted just her to be my fuck buddy. But after my divorce, Lockwood Ent. took all the shares back from the company. It was obvious her father would do that. My company was falling apart. It was stable because of Lexi's father. But he threatened to withdraw his shares too if I used his daughter as my fuck buddy. So I couldn't do anything but ask her to be my girlfriend. Then because of mom I had to ask her to be my fiancé. It was never my decision. I never loved her. I did care for her, but love never. I could only love her, Caroline. Till date it was she who I loved. I've seen her over news and tabloids last month, she looked so beautiful in her airport look, I couldn't help but screenshot that photo of hers. That reminds me of the envelope.

I go to my room and take out the envelope from the drawer.

"Ethan, are you home?" I heard my mom's voice.

I hurriedly kept the envelope back in the drawer and rushed down.

"Hey mum, what are you doing here?"

"Why can't your mother just come to look by?" 

"Oh no I didn't mean that way, off course you can come here whenever you want."

"How's the wedding preparation going on?"

"It's going ecstatic, actually." I replied sarcastically, but she didn't understand it.

"That's great. Are you going to the party that Mr. Lightwood have kept for her daughter?" 

"Actually mmm...no I'm not, I've work." 

"I figured, you can't always run from her, and it's not you who cheated on her, then I don't understand why don't you go." 

"Because I'm a busy man and I've other work to do then attending someone's party whose not worth of my time." 

"Whatever you say me and your dad are attending the party, you too can join if you want." 

With that she left. Okay now the envelope.

I opened the envelope. There were many photos of me with different women, some were us kissing or in the hotel room having sex. Those all were of the time when I was a playboy in college. With that there was a letter.

Dear,

Ethan,

and then the dear word was cut oouch.

These photos were sent to me when you used to return home late. I didn't believed it, I thought someone was just messing with me. I trusted you because I loved you. So I never believed those photos. When nothing happened to our relationship then I guess someone sent you those photos, by which you concluded I cheated on you. You didn't trusted me even a bit.

On our wedding day we made a vow to trust each other, I kept my promise you didn't. I don't know if six years were so less time to trust. Seems like this is what you thought about me, that is why you suggested me to be a housewife so I didn't interact with any male, you never liked if I talked to any male, I remember in the start when we used go to restaurant and when I used to give a small smile to the waiter, you would get annoyed, then I never saw any male waiter on the table, it was always a girl.

But now I know it wasn't ever my fault,it was you who were insecure.But I never gave you a reason to be insecure so you can't blame it on me. It's not my work to make you feel like a "MAN".

Whatever, I wanted to tell you that I'm pregnant. And yes it's yours, because I never cheated on you. If you don't believe me then not my problem, you are gonna be the one missing on your child's first word, first step, first birthday, first everything. I can very well take care of my kid on my own.

It's your wish if you want to be in his or her life or not, it's your decision and no I'm not gonna provide any DNA test to you, so forget about that. In case you want to be a part of their life I wouldn't stop you, but know one thing very well there can never be anything between you and me.

Your ex wife,

Caroline Lightwood.
