Divine Intervention vol 3

Chapter 18 Tonic

Dana had just finished setting things in order for the next day and was about to leave when Diane stop her. "Can I ask you something?" She asks standing before Dana. "What?" Dana snaps in a tired tone. Diane knew that Dana's anger was justified and as much as she wanted to turn away and say forget it, she didn't, instead, she square her shoulder and stand her ground.

"Someone from the Jackson family gave me this today, I just wanted to know who that person was?" Diane says shoving the bottle of tonic at Dana. "What is that?" "He said it was a tonic made especially for pregnant women by Mrs, Jackson herself."

"What did this person look like?" Dana ask. "He's an American with a pair of twin boys and he's married to one of them." "Wait, Jared?" "I don't know his name, he refuses to tell me, yet he keeps insisting that I should drink that." "Hold on let me check this out." Dana took out her phone and dial a number, then put the phone on speaker as she spoke to Mrs. Jackson.

A few minutes later Dana end the call. "Well there you have it, she's concerned about you fainting, so she made it for you and give it to him, whether or not you drink it is up to you." turning on her heels Dana walk away from her.

"Jared, has she ever heard that name before? She's sure Gabriel must have mentioned that name to her before but try as she may, she couldn't remember what exactly he had said about him. Throwing her hands up in frustration she head towards his office, maybe she could find something about this Jared in Gabriel's diary.

Taking a seat at his desk she took out his diary and began flipping through it to see if she could find some information about Jared but as she flip the page again a reading caught her eyes and she began reading. "Here I'm again, sitting here at this desk crying my eyes out, not that my wife even noticed or care for that matter, I had planned a romantic dinner for the two of us tonight, I called her today to tell her about it but she didn't answer her phone, so I left her a message, but when I got home she told me that she wasn't interested in going out with a cheating bastard such as myself, so I call the restaurant and canceled the reservation. I missed the days when we would just go out and have fun trying new things. I also missed the days when I could just call her and we would laugh and talk about the strangest things.

When she would tell me about some strange thing that the kids said or did or just call me to say I love you. I miss that so much, these days when I call her she doesn't even take my calls and when she does she always sound so angry, she will say things like I'm busy taking care of your children because you're too busy sleeping with Karen and God knows who else to spend time with your family.

Does she have any idea how much those words hurt me? No, of course, she doesn't, if she did she wouldn't have said them and she keeps saying them, over and over and over, every chance she gets. If I come home late, oh so you were with your bitch Karen, it's always about Karen, Karen this, Karen that, if I never hear that name again for the rest of my life I would be the happiest person on the face of this earth.

Most of the time the only place I see that woman is in church on Sundays and if I say three words to her then I would've said a lot but unfortunately for me, I have to hear her name every single day because my wife, my beautiful wife, the mother of my children, the love of my life, finds it almost impossible to trust me.

So people have asked me, why do you stay with her? Why? Because I'm in love with her and as much as she finds it hard to trust me, I know that she is in love with me, if she wasn't then she wouldn't be so damn obsessed with the thought of me sleeping with someone else if she was only with me for what she can get, then she wouldn't give a shit about whether or not I wanted to cheat, would she?

But she does give a shit, she's so in love with me that just the thought of me being with someone else drives her crazy but sometimes she does go a bit too far with her accusations and her words do hurt, they hurt a lot, how can she say that I would rather be somewhere with someone else than home with my family? Does this woman know how much my family means to me? I worry myself almost to death every day thinking that something might happen to one of them.

Wondering just how long I have with them before they were ripped from me just like my brother and my parents were. I treasure every single moment I have with them, the good and the bad, I wouldn't trade any of those moments for anything on this planet. So yeah, when she says things like that, it cuts me to the bone but I made a vow before God and everyone else to be with her for better or worst, and I don't plan on breaking that vow.

However, I'm praying that it doesn't get much worst than this. I wish there was a magic wand that I could just wave around and make my wife trust me, I mean really trust me when I tell her that I'm not cheating on her and I never will but there isn't, so I plan on suffering through all this until she decides to start trusting me..." Diane close the book and take a deep shuddering breath, she has heard a dozen times that she was the biggest threat to her marriage and they were all right, even her husband thought so, how in the name of the almighty was she going to make up for all she had done? She wondered as tears ran down her face.
