Chris’ POV

Instead of joy, all I am feeling right now is guilt, shame and most of all, disappointment in my self. I made her sign the divorce papers, despite knowing deep down that she would never do anything to hurt us and yet here we are, I hurt her so bad, although indirectly, I helped her best friend hurt her too.

The past few years have been hell for me, yet for her it worse than that. She even started her own company which became better than mine. Clearly when she was with me, being a house wife was like tying her wings together and preventing her from flying. After the divorce, the ropes were burned and fly she did, soaring so high despite having four children at once.

Guilt, this is the one feeling I haven’t had since I was a kid doing the opposite of what my parents said, and yet this time is amplified to the max. I can’t possibly turn back time yet how I wish I could, I can’t take away the hurt, I can’t wipe away the tears all because I broke the promise I made to her, “to love and never let go, to never let anything hurt her including myself, to cherish every second of every day, to never let her tire or toil for any reason or for anyone, to be her provider and her pillar for as long as I live”

And yet here we are, sitting opposite each other, Ryan already left, Dom and Lilly were sent away unceremoniously. I have so much to say to her, yet my brain doesn’t seem to conjure anything up, i want to apologize, go down on my knee and beg for forgiveness yet not one limb on my body seem able to move.

“why are you that pale?” Gigi asks with an eyebrow raised

“I guess, um, it just hit me that I put you through so much, broke my vow to you and missed out on so much of our children’s lives!” I say with my head in a bow

“yes, you put me through much, that I agree, you broke your vows and didn’t trust me when I needed you to.” She says standing up and I follow suit, walking toward the center of the room “but, I do not hold a grudge against you anymore, you made me realize how strong I am, how capable I am.”

“But at what cost love? I will forever be guilty” I say to her. She smiles and hooks her arms around my neck and with smile she makes me face her

“marriage has ups and down, I already let go of the past and so should you my love, I am right here and not going anywhere, we have our children too, we have a huge and recently merged company that without all the drama would have never been, we are rid of those traitorous assholes and we are getting married again. If you have time to feel guilty then clearly you have time on your hands which could be just what I need.” She end a statement with an evil smile, the kind that always says she is up to no good

“oh no, what are you going to do?” I ask sheepishly

“nothing much, just going on a vacation and leaving you with the little devils” she runs off after finishing.

Smiling, I run after her and lift her by the waist, heading toward the bedroom. I can’t believe I lived for years without this, I will never let them go again, that is a promise I make in my own heart never to break.

“lets Netflix and chill.” I say after landing on the bed on top  of her

“I love you Mr. Black” she says smiling

“I love you too Mrs. Black” I say and pull her closer to met, letting our lips meet and our senses do the rest for our bodies and souls.
