I turn toward the forest and walk in hoping to see him. For the proof, of course.

I honestly don't care if Eric is sleeping with someone else. I just wish he wasn't hiding it, and he didn't act so fake in front of me. I want the proof because maybe I can use it against him. I don't know if that could work though because I remember that in the contract, which we had to sign before we got married, it stated that we weren't allowed to divorce for any reason. I'm not sure though because Eric kept the contract, and I didn't receive even a copy of it.

I see Marco ahead of me waiting, leaning against a giant tree. I immediately walk toward him like the first time and I stand in front of him too.

A smirk appears on his face when looking at me. "Do you believe me now or do you still want the proof?"

"I believe you and I want to see the proof." I respond and he nods obviously liking my answer.

He pulls a manila envelope out from his jacket and hands it to me. I take it instantly, opening it to pull out a couple of pictures. The first one is Eric and his assistant probably about to have sex in his office. The next is them in action in his childhood bedroom from the event yesterday. Every single picture is them kissing or doing very inappropriate things.

It makes me a bit uncomfortable to look at them, but I just can't seem to stop from the shock. I got the proof that I wanted and now I wish I never even asked for it. They're having sex in a bunch of places in some pictures or doing things to each other in others. I decide to stop as there are too many and my precious eyes can't take it anymore. My stomach either, I feel nauseous.

Marco stops me before I get to put the pictures back in the envelope.

"The pictures at the end show you where he actually spends his nights when he is surely telling you that he is working late." He informs me and I decide to look at the pictures to see.

Surprisingly they aren't all over each other in these. It looks like they are outside an apartment. Eric is walking out of it in one and going in it in another. In both the assistant is either kissing him goodbye or welcoming him with a kiss.

"Want the address?" He asks when I sigh, finally putting the pictures away.

"No, I don't care at all about this to be honest." I tell him honestly.

"I thought you were finally together seeing the way he was around you all last night. Until he got distracted by your look alike, of course." He reminds me.

"We aren't together. It isn't any of your business either." I smile with curiosity. "Why do you care anyway?"

He shrugs but comes up with an answer quite quickly. "Can't I look out for you? You're way too good for him, Lucia."

"You don't even know me to be able to say that." I reply, becoming intrigued with what may be happening in his mind.

"I don't." He agrees. "But anyone would agree with me."
