All Chapters of THE OTHER WOMAN: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

“Why did you do it, Derek?” Leah’s voice trembled; her eyes heavy with disappointment.Derek didn’t even bother looking at her. Instead, he scoffed, brushing off her words as if they meant nothing. “What are you talking about, Leah?”“You know exactly what I’m talking about, Derek!” Leah snapped, her frustration boiling over, and stepped closer,“The Sales Manager position. You promised me, Derek. You told me I’d get the job.”“I don’t want to talk about it, Leah,” Derek replied with a cold air of dismissal, grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, and started walking away.“Don’t try to walk away from this Derek,” Leah’s voice cracked, heavy with emotions, “Why did you give Chantelle the job? We both know I earned that position. I deserved it! I’ve worked harder for this than anyone else Derek, harder than her! I closed some of the company’s biggest deals while you took all the credit, and supported you when no one else would!” Leah paused and drew a deep breath, trying to calm her

Why do you think Derek offered me the job and not you? It’s because deep down he still wants me. He just doesn’t realize it yet, but I’ll help him see it.”“Derek still loves me, so why don’t you do us both a favor

It’s all yours. After all, it’s what you said, right? This house, the company, everything you achieved, you did solely by yourself, so it’ll only be greedy of me to want something that isn’t mine, something I did not contribute to.” Leah said, her voice cracking under the weight of emotions.Derek was perplexed when he heard the tone of her voice, and even more confused why she was suddenly asking for a divorce.He could hear the hurt laced in them, and his heart ached at how much pain he was causing her.
