Detroit, MI:





Justin regretted walking down the hallway once he saw Monica come out of Isabella's office. He tried to turn and walk away, "Justin." She called out and he sighed.


"Monica what?" He asked turning around to look at her.


"I fuckin miss you, I'm miserable as fuck without you."


"Well you see how I've been feeling for the past 17 years." He replied bluntly, and she wasn't used to this version of her husband.


"And I'm sorry, baby I am so sorry." She said and she'd approached him, she placed her hand on his chest. "I love you so much Justin, and I can let go of a lot but not you. There is no one out here like you, you've loved me when nobody did. I cheated back in college a few times I'm not going to lie, and I've done some fucked up things, I shouldn't have kept in contact with Bryan. Justin I swear on our sons no one has touched me since we've said our vows, I was young and stupid and confused. Cheating on you was a mistake I'll never repeat, just tell me you still love me." She'd grabbed his hands and wrapped his arms around her waist, she'd rested her hands on his biceps.


"I do love you, that's not just gonna go away." Justin admitted resting his forehead against Monica's. "But you hurt me, and our best friends. You out here doing reckless shit, and I don't want no parts in that."


"I know, that's why I'm going to walk away. I'm signing everything over to Izzy, I've been looking into some therapists, and I even started praying. I know I got work to do, I'm just asking that you don't give up on me, please not now. You're a good man Justin..."


"Look maybe we can grab lunch tomorrow and talk about arrangements for the kids? Let's just start there okay?" He said trying not to give into her too easily.


"Okay, that's fine with me." She said she lifted her head placing a soft peck on his lips leaving them lingering, but he'd pulled back before they were lingering too long.


"I'll text you later, okay?"


"Okay, thank you Justin." She said as he'd let her go, he nodded walking around her letting himself into Isabella's office.


"Yo wassup Tory." Justin said hugging her.


"Boy that wife of yours just blew my mind. I don't understand how y'all ain't ripped her head off." Tory replied.


"We've had a head start on the time to wrap our minds around it." Isabella said. "Sir if Lilah is ever 2 hours late for work again I will hang you by your curls, okay?"


"I told you that girl do something to me man." Justin said making Isabella bust out laughing.


"Wait what did I miss?" Tory asked as Austin entered the office.
