19. Not so easy

Keegan found Charisma outside by her car. Her hands were shaking as she tried to roll herself a blunt. "C...

"Don't Keegan... see this is why we don't work... because we're breaking everyone else that we love..." she said. "For the good of everyone else.. everyone we care about maybe we should just stop...

Keegan stood in front of her and took the blunt from her rolling it. "You don't want this.. you only smoke when you're stressed..."

"Hmmm funny that.." she said.

"C... I definitely do not stand here gloating or loving the fact that I did what I did to you.. not one lil bit.. I didn't even.." he shook his head. "I don't even remember...

"Well that is good for you... because I do... I remember it all... I remember screaming for you to stop with your hands around my throat... seeing your fists coming at me.. and you just looked right through me... and every inch of my body ached.. I just wanted to die.. I wanted god to take me right there and then... I looked into your eyes, wondering how could this man want to hurt me so much.. what did I do... to make you hate me so much..."

"I've never hated you C... I love you... nothing I can say or do will ever change anything or make it right or make it go away... But all I can do is work with you from this point and let you see what a different man I am on the medication, now it is as it should be now.... Now I know what is wrong with me I will continuously work to be a better man for you... I will never, ever hurt you again and I know that feels to you like lies because of what happened this time. But I promise you it isn't, and I am asking you to let me prove it to you...." he shook his head. " You can have yo space, we can date just like you said... I just can't let you go... you complete me...."

She just looked at him. "we need to make sure that Lani is okay. We also need to see how the other kids are feeling and make sure they are okay ... we need a family meeting... and now that you are back here in Canada, you need to get rid of that bitch... Because I know she is still alive, if you love me and you value our relationship and our family, end her now." She told him in no uncertain terms and headed back inside the house.
Keegan took a deep breath, he hated the feeling of her walking away from him.

".... How was LA?..."

"Same old..." Anton said as he walked into Tian and his place back in Canada. "A lot going on here... but also a lot going on back there too..."

Tian noticed he was off by the way he walked in and threw his keys down. He looked around for his bags. "Anton, are you not staying?."

"Ion know Tian.." all of a sudden Anton grabbed his hand and held up his wedding ring to his face. "Does this mean anything to you?.."

"It means everything to me... Anton?.. what's wrong?." He said frowning, confused.

"I feel like I never see you, like we're just friends... our time is split between the elites and the Frasers... things were a lot more simpler when we were both in LA... I just.." he paused and sighed. "I just don't feel the benefit of this marriage anymore... we're not even intimate and we barely see each other..."

Tian looked at him. "We both do different jobs we've always known this.. but it's never interfered with us before... and it doesn't mean that we don't love each other... I mean at least I still love you..." he said to him, staring at him trying to gauge him.

Anton looked at him and thought for a second. "I can't do it anymore... If I'm married I want to be with that person.. our jobs just make it to difficult to be together..

"So what you came all the way here just to tell me what... that it's over.. you're ending our marriage?"

Anton looked at him. "Yeah... yeah I did..."

Tian was rocked. He didn't see this coming. "Why now... how long have you...

"I won't be coming back to Canada after today.. I'm sorry Tian.... I've met someone else.. and I've been seeing him quite a while back in LA.." he paused. "I'm sorry...
Anton was about to walk out.

Tian grabbed him and flung him back against the wall. "What do you mean... how the fuck could you do that to me...

Anton went at him and he flew back and a fight ensued between the pair of them.

Charisma had had her things taken to the other place on the outskirts of the Rockies away from Keegan's main house. She had just started to unpack when she heard a knock at the door. She saw it was Dinah. She smiled and opened up. "You're back... Keegan told me... he also told me that you were living apart..."

"Regular lil agony aunt aren't you... for him..."

"Gee don't be like that... he is my boss and... and you're my.. friend... he is in his feelings.. I could take his ass out for what he did to you... but even I know you wouldn't want that... he is sorry... I can hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes.." she told her. "But I didn't come here to talk about him, I came here for you... I wondered if you wanted me to stay tonight keep you company?.."

"He asked you too?..." she sighed.

"No, he has no idea I'm here..."

"Is he dealing with Yasmin yet?...

"Yes... he is.. he and Wesley are going to do some serious psychopath shit on her so I don't want to be around that..." she said. "She deserves it I know.. I just don't wanna witness it.."

"I never did ask... did you get chance to talk to Lena?..."

She sniggered. "Naw.. she pussied out and went straight back home...do you think that she might be out to seek revenge on me..."

"For what?.." Charisma said.

"Because I slept with Jenson that time with her... I know no one can get near him.. but she let me..." she said confused.

"I'm sure she would have said something by now... I just think she lost herself for a while... but she wanted it to happen so she can't say anything to you... she instigated it... it's not like my husband, you didn't work for him in one of his clubs and he was angry at me so he took you home and fucked you now is it...

"Gee.. I promise that only happened a handful of times with those girls..."

Charisma furrowed her brow. "You knew?... YOU KNEW!..."

She swallowed hard. "We would be there sometimes when he would disappear with one or two of them and then meet us again later...." She held her hand. "He wasn't himself... but he is so far removed from that man now..."

Charisma nodded. "It's Trust Dinah.. I honestly don't know if I can ever trust him again..."
