I went home after making sure Ethan was asleep and cleaned off the sweat dripping off his face and chest using a towel.

Going to the kids room, I saw they were sound asleep. I had asked Morris to drive them home. I kissed their forehead and wished them goodnight then went to my room.

Removing my dress and the make up I went to my bed, I couldn't help but wonder about the kiss and everything that happens between us.

The way his hands moved all over my body, the way his lips trailed all over my skin leaving his marks behind, the way he got all bothered for him and how we would have went further if his phone didn't ring.

I just couldn't shake the image off my mind. His skin felt so good under my fingers, the way his lips tasted, it just can't get out of my head. I enjoyed it no doubt but it is wrong, it shouldn't have happened, it wouldn't have happened if he wasn't drunk.

I should not feel this way, he left me, didn't trust me, and wasn't there when I needed him. He left because of those photos, he didn't trust me, not even a bit. And he kissed Alexia in front of me, he claimed to love me, but how does the emotion of love change so quickly? I couldn't stop loving him until now, even though he have hurt me the most. He freaking kissed her just after I signed the divorce papers so much for love huh? Who knows they might have done it before too, or maybe more than just kiss.

Ugh...I hate him so much.What does he think of himself huh? Whenever he want he can use me, well I let him do it to me, don't I? But not this time.

Oh really? my conscience mocked. 

Yeah whatever this was the last time I let it happen. I'm not gonna let him get to me ever again, if not for myself then at least I've to do it for my children. I can't see them being hurt. I'll be strong for my children, I promised myself. And with that thought in my mind I drifted off to sleep.

I slowly opened my eyes. The sunlight falling on my face makes it more difficult to open them. I feel throbbing head ache. Ughhhhh. I got so fucking drunk last night. I don't even remember what happened yesterday. I saw a glass of water and aspirin kept on the table besides me, guess Claire kept it for me, but didn't she go for a vacation? Maybe she returned, I shrugged it off and took the aspirin. I went to the washroom to take a hot bath to relax myself. Standing in front of the shower I started to recall last night events, my drunk self went to the party I saw Care coming to the parking lot ,we kissed and what???we KISSED???? No it can't be, she hates me, a lot. It must have been a dream. A good dream though.

After taking the shower I went into my walk in closet and wore my work cloths. I went towards the living room but didn't see Claire, I was already late so I went towards my car, my driver Luke was already standing over there, he greeted me and then we drove off. During the whole ride I can't help but wonder, that the dream felt so much real for it to be just a dream, and if Claire didn't come back, then who kept the aspirin and water on the night stand? I was still in my thoughts when the car halted and I saw we have already reached the office. I went inside and everyone was greeting me but some girls saw me and their face reddened. I don't know why. Usually they wouls just drool over me, but today they were getting shy?

I went inside the office and started doing my work. After a while my door opened and Lexi walked it wearing a tight red dress which ended just below her ass. Gosh how did I make her my girlfriend, then fiancée, oh right first because of her dad then because of my mom, I wanted her to be just my fuck buddy because that's what she's capable of.

"Hey baby" she purred.Then looking at me she gasped.

"Oh my god Ethan babe, how do you have such a freaking dark hickey????I never gave you one. Babyy you are cheating on me! I'm gonna tell my dad and your mom and everyone." she said dramatically.

I smirked."Oh really why don't you try doing that." I said showing her the photo I clicked.

"There's no proof it's me."she said smirking. 

"Yeah right it's my car? My handbag? My clothes right?"I told her. 

The car was gifted to her by her father, it hasn't yet been launched in the market and the handbag was given by my mother it's a limited edition.

She paled. "Uh..oh baby it was a mistake."

"No I'll tell you what was the mistake, my first mistake was listening to you, trusting you more than my wife. My second mistake was divorcing Caroline, third to be sleeping with you, fourth was to make you my girlfriend and my fifth mistake to get engaged to a slut like you."

"W..what are you saying honey?? Caroline she's a bitch she cheated on you."

 "Well I don't think so. How come you had this envelope in your bag huh??" I threw the envelope at her,the empty envelope.

 "I...I don't k...know w.what youuu aree talking a..about." she stammered. 

"Get out of here, you bitch before I loose my patience, and the wedding is off." I said.

 "Please don't do this please." she begged 

"Go before I ask my security to escort you." 

She stood up and went, before getting out she said, "You are gonna pay for humiliating me and I never loved you it was just the money I loved."

"And you think I loved you even a bit?"

"Well that doesn't matter I ripped your relation apart with that bitch, didn't I? If you loved her enough how did you believe those photos so easily? We sent your photos too many times to her, but god knows how she never believed them, she was indeed a fool." With that she left.

But my mind wondered isn't she right if I loved her I should have trusted her. Trusted our love.
