Weeks of fighting had taken its toll on my marriage to Alandro. We had grown apart, and the love we once shared had fizzled out.

One day, we both knew it was over. We stood in our empty living room, the silence between us deafening.

"It's done," Alandro said, his voice barely above a whisper.

I nodded, tears streaming down my face. "It's done."

Our divorce was a messy one, but eventually, we went our separate ways.

I thought I had hit rock bottom, but things only got worse. My parents, who had always been distant, abandoned me, leaving me with nothing.

I felt lost and alone, until one day, Leo appeared at my doorstep.

"Hey, I heard about your divorce," he said, his eyes filled with concern. "I'm here for you, Jess."

I broke down in his arms, and for the first time in weeks, I felt a sense of peace.

As we spent more time together, I realized my feelings for Leo went beyond friendship.

One night, as we sat on the beach, watching the stars, Leo took my hand.

"Jess, I've been waiting for you," he said, his voice filled with emotion.

I smiled, feeling a sense of belonging. "I've been waiting for you too, Leo."

Our lips met in a soft, gentle kiss, and I knew I had found my soulmate.

As we walked hand in hand along the beach, I knew that I had closed one chapter of my life and opened another.

And this time, I was exactly where I was meant to be.

I stood in the doorway, my heart racing as I took in the scene before me. Jess and Leo, kissing passionately in the kitchen. I felt like I had been punched in the gut.

How could she do this to me? We were still married, still trying to work things out. And yet, here she was, wrapped in the arms of another man.

I thought back to all the times I had confided in Leo, considered him a friend. And yet, he had been secretly pursuing my wife behind my back.

I felt a wave of anger wash over me, followed by a deep sadness. I realized that my marriage was truly over, that Jess had moved on with her life.

I turned and walked away, not wanting to confront them in that moment. I needed time to process my emotions, to figure out what to do next.

As I walked, I couldn't help but wonder what else had been going on behind my back. How long had they been together? How long had they been lying to me?

I felt like my whole world had been turned upside down, like everything I thought I knew was a lie.

I didn't know how to move forward, but I knew I needed to get out of there, to get away from the two people who had betrayed me in the worst possible way.

I didn't know how to go forward after this. I just hoped that it was sick nightmare but unfortunately it wasn't.
