I looked up into his eyes as I was sobbing my heart out. I felt so vulnerable in this position as his eyes screamed of anger.

"If it wasn't mine whose was it?!"

"I don't know."

"CJ you do know! You can't get pregnant by accident just like that! Especially in the field!"

"I swear I don't know who's it was!"

"My god... my own wife cheated on me."

"I didn't cheat!"

"Then what did happen?! Did it magically appear in your stomach!"

I covered my ears from his screaming and before I knew it the bathroom door was slammed closed leaving me on the floor all by myself. I felt my body start to shake again. I was having another panic attack as everything went black again and I fainted just like that first night back home. Everything went black and all the things that happened in the field haunted me again. I opened my eyes slowly and I heard a beeping sound in a steady rhythm. I sat up and saw Meeko, Maverick and Charles. Charles still looked furiously mad at me and mumbled something before stepping out of the room. Maverick was the first to come to me when I started crying while Meeko huffed and stood up walking to the door.

"You have no right to cry mom. You were the one cheating not dad. Come on Mave. Dad's waiting for us so we can leave!"

I felt my tears stream down my face a little more as I looked to the side. Mave looked more worried then mad. In fact he didn't look mad one bit. He sighed and looked down at his hands.

"You didn't cheat on dad right?"

"I didn't Mave... I love your dad too dearly to even think about that..."

"But how did it happen then?"

"I was a sex toy to the man who had me hostage... I got pregnant and they killed her... she was only 12 hours old..."

"Why won't dad listen to you?"

"I don't know Mave... I don't know. I wish I did know but apparently it's hard to believe your wife is speaking the truth..."

"When will I see you again mom...?"

"Soon Mave. I promise you. You'll see me soon."

A bang on the window made Mave and I look at Charles. Mave gave me a hug as he walked out of the door with his head hanging low. How did my life take such a turn? I felt tears sting in my eyes even more as I looked at the window to see Charles frowning at my face. It wasn't an angry frown but a frown that didn't know what he should do or what was happening. I just looked back at him as I dried my tears with the back of my hand. He walked off with the boys and I took my phone and called Max.

"Hello?"

"Hey Maxie..."

"Hey. Are you alright? You sound like you've been crying..."

"No I'm not alright. I'm stuck in the fucking US. I'm laying in a hospital while Charles and the boys are flying home immediately now."

"What? Why would they leave without you on the first day there?"

"Because Charles thinks I cheated on him. I didn't get the chance to explain it to him."

"Seriously? You haven't told him about the assaults? I thought you would have already done that... why didn't you?"

"I couldn't. The look on his face said enough. The fact he even thinks I cheated says enough."

"Give it some time CJ... do you want me to fly to the US? So I can stay with you?"

"No it's alright... I just needed to talk to someone. Thanks Maxie."

"Of course... any time CJ... call me whenever you need me or if you change your mind."

"Thank you..."

We talked a little longer before I hung up the phone. I checked the boys their location and saw they were at the airport... they were going back to Monaco probably... and they would leave me here all alone. How could Charles do that? I thought we were a married couple who would listen to each other in whatever situation we would get in but apparently... I thought wrong. I hadn't stopped crying really. I had stopped sobbing but I was still feeling broken. How could I tell him that I was sexually assaulted while he wouldn't even look at me? This was all a huge misunderstanding but he couldn't know that because he didn't fucking listen to me. He didn't even took the chance for me to explain. If he would've listened to me this wouldn't have happened in the first place. What if he wanted a divorce now because he thought I cheated! My life is gonna be turned upside down...
