CHAPTER 71JAMESI paced back and forth in my private suite, the weight of impending divorce rested heavily on my shoulders. I was restless because tomorrow was the day that would mark the end of my marriage to Irene. I couldn’t help but feel a mix of anxiety and regret, questioning where it all went wrong. Thoughts of our shared history played on a loop in my mind, memories both beautiful and painful colliding in a whirlwind of emotions.Seeking solace, I made my way to the bar, the amber liquid in the crystal tumbler offering a temporary relief from the chaos within me. I took a long sip, the burn of the alcohol providing a momentary distraction. But no matter how much I drank, the pending divorce loomed over me, a constant reminder of the crumbling foundation of our relationship.Just as I drowned in my thoughts, the suite door swung open, and X, the private detective I had hired to dig up Irene’s secrets, entered with an air of purpose.“James, I’ve got a lead,” he announced; his

CHAPTER 72JAMESIt all seemed confusing to me as I was trying to place what in the hell I was seeing, it was two things that just wouldn't fit in together, there was a child and at the same time the fact that she was rich.How in the hell was that possible?Deep down in my mind it only meant things either, X totally got it wrong or I had been lied to all this while.The whole scene was such a hard process that I lost my will to breathe for more than a few seconds."There is no way that child is mine." Irene said, fixing her gaze on me. "Yes, I am the one, but the child is out of it...Don't come to conclusions."It was hard to process everything that was happening.The more I thought about it, the more difficult it was for me to comprehend all that was happening.I glanced at my watch. The damn man was taking too long.My lungs expanded, and I took in a breath.It had been more than ten minutes since the judge left, I suspect he did so to give us a bit of time to talk things over and d

CHAPTER 73IRENEWe walked out of the judge's office, divorce papers in hand, silence hanging in the air like an arrow sent to torture us. I found it amusing that signing some pieces of papers could end the relationship we've struggled to build up to this point. I felt sad and devasted The drive home seemed longer as we weren't speaking. James was extremely angry, he had been this way ever since he found out about my past and the child. I couldn't blame him for his actions neither could I talk to him at least, not now.I sat still in the car, my face out the window facing away from him as I pretended to admire nature that I have never really taken an interest in while James blasted loud countryside music in the car, it was unlike him.Now, we were home and after hearing his first words "There's nothing to think about, we're definitely getting that divorce," I felt the need and courage to explain myself. It wasn't as simple as he thought it was and lying wasn't deliberate.With my hear

CHAPTER 74JAMESIrene looked hopefully at me, I can see she was waiting with crossed fingers for me to say a word,but I refused to. Heck I don’t even know what to say instead I continue to look at her, my face giving nothing away.After finding out this much information, I was too stunted to talk. I was angry.I wasn’t angry at her, no. She is but the last cause of my anger. I am devastated at the fact that this whole ordeal was kept away from me for so long. The child wasn’t even her for goodness sake.I sighed loudly in frustration and abruptly got up on my feet and left the scene without a single word in exchange.I could hear her voice begging me to wait as I made my way toward my room. It hurt me to walk away from her but I think that was the best thing to do at that moment.I waltzed into my room and barged the door behind me, setting myself down at the bed.“All these years, all these fucking years I was kept in darkness. No one cared to tell me what was really going on. Nobod

CHAPTER 75IRENEI have crossed so many paths in this life, and all I can say is, nothing ever got me as beat up and full of guilt as this.I have watched James walk away from me earlier, nothing in his stance giving anything away. I don’t know what to feel or what to expect which ends up leaving me a nervous wreck.It wasn’t fair of me to keep away this piece of information from him but at the same time, I couldn’t just bring myself to spill it out.Even now, as I pace around the penthouse aimlessly, I still thought that perhaps I brought this up at the wrong time.Thinking about what I should have and shouldn’t have done is not going to save anything as I have the deed already being done and what is left is for James to pass out his judgment.After my unproductive movement around the large penthouse and my unsuccessful attempt to stop worrying, I make my way toward my bedroom, nearly bumping into a wall which for some reason, I didn’t realize earlier that it was there.I softly clos

CHAPTER 76JAMESI watched her every move immediately and her eyes were away from mine. I could tell she’s worried about everything and it killed me not to talk to her but I am still devastated. I wouldn’t want to address this issue while in such a state of mind.The thickness of the tension in the room could slit my throat but still, I choose not to speak. Instead I focus on my cell phone, smiling down at the game I was playing.Honestly Irene was the last person I would want to ignore but I have to, for her own good. I can tell we are both not ready to have this conversation. She has no idea what to say while I have a lot to lash out and it will only break her heart since she doesn’t have anything to defend herself so I think it will be best if we both pretend we both don’t exist as we go on with our daily lives. It will be hard but that is the best way out.I actually lost track of time as I was so engrossed on my phone and only remembered to check the time when Irene pushed her pla

CHAPTER 77IRENEThe car that stopped in the driveway indicated to me that Addie had just arrived. I excitedly walked out to welcome her. I have been alone in this house long enough and I longed for some sort of human interaction.Addie is a friend of mine I met during one of my sessions at the clinic. She’s bubbly and the type everyone will instantly become friends with. We chatted for a bit and exchanged contacts when I was about to leave, since then we have been talking.“Just in time” I beamed, meeting her halfway.“Hey Irene!” She exclaimed with happiness and hugged me tight, I genuinely returned the gesture.“You took your time” I complained, rolling my eyes playfully at her.“Yeah sorry about that. I had to stop by the clinic. You know how devastated the doctor gets when I miss my therapy. I wouldn’t want to deal with his annoying chatters so I stopped by” Addie tried to explain as we made our way into the house.“Yeah right, how is it going?” I inquired genuinely referring to

CHAPTER 78JAMESI do not know what to think of this or how to react to it in fact. Everything was so sudden and it left me shocked.“Addie in my house? Was she the friend Irene was speaking to on the phone? She ought to be but how on earth is she even able to find my wife and connect with her.?” These were the questions that continued ringing through my head as I stood there like a deer caught in the highlights, not knowing how to act.For some reason, I have a gut feeling that she somehow planned all these. “Was this the reason why she approached me in the clinic and requested we hang out”I do not want Irene to find out anything and for some unknown reason neither do I want Addie to sense the weird tension between Irene and I.Irene’s eyes were following us the entire time, moving from Addie’s form to mine and then back to Addie’s trying to point out what exactly is going on.I do not want her asking, which I know if I do not get hold of myself she is definitely going to so I clea

CHAPTER 79IRENEI gazed carefully at him from the spot I was standing, obstructed from his view by a wall. I observed him bring out his phone from his pocket and dial a number which immediately picked.Unfortunately I couldn’t make out who was talking or what the other person was saying but I pretty much cut them off with words of his own.“We need to talk” he pronounced and immediately hung up on the person.Something is not adding up. There is something up his sleeve I can’t make out but I am hell bent on finding out.His behavior when he saw Addie was totally out of character and even though I tried as much as I can to not react to any of their weird behavior, I very well know that something is up and there is something between the two of them which they both don’t want me to find out.And that not only surprised me but also picked at my curiosity because what the hell can be going on between my husband and supposed new friend.James is up to something I have no doubt in that but

CHAPTER 80JAMESIrene’s questions were starting to bug me but I tried as much as possible not to let anything slip. I know Irene like the back of my hand, she is very smart and adamant when something picks her interest and I can clearly tell my relationship with Addie did just that.Her curiosity wouldn’t let her rest until she figures out what she wants to know if she thinks there is something to know about and at the moment, she is beginning to think there is something.I tried as much as possible not to add to her suspicions as I ate away my breakfast still adamant that she stays away from Addie.I had to leave much earlier today because I have to meet up with Addie before going in for work and I can’t afford to be late again today, Marcus would make my ears bleed with complaints.I brushed past her seating form as I made my way outside, slid into my car and drove off to the agreed location.I need to make it clear to Addie that right now, I have a lot going on with my life and if
