*Couple weeks later...*

ISABELLE

I haven't had a normal life. Not like it's been any close to normal to begin with, but this thing with Kae has been a lot to go through. I haven't been dealing with this personally because Trey suggested that he take care of it and he'll let me know everything that is said or done. I trust him, so I agreed. He's never lied to me before, and he has no reason to keep anything from me.

OB has been supportive too. He's always checking up on me, making sure I'm alright even if he's not with me. My Dad isn't mad anymore either, he's helping Trey with everything as well. I know he wants to tell me he was right, but... Kae did this, not Chris.

Chris... I swear he's got fuck up's on fuck up's. I haven't heard from him since he went to bail his wife out, which didn't happen. I know he was trying to hurt me, and let me be honest; he did. And he was out of line, I feel like it was just unnecessary.

Luckily, work has kept me busy and I don't have extra time to be thinking about extra people.

"Excuse me, Ms. Sanders?"

"Yes?" I respond

"There's someone wanting to see you."

I nod, and in walks Dreana. I guess she hasn't gotten the point about me not wanting anything to do with her. But I'll entertain her today, just so I can be clear as hell that I'm over it.

She sits down and looks at me.

"How..are you?" She asks

"I'm alright. Did you need something?"

"I just wanted to talk. I know you don't want to talk to me but I have something that I'd like to get off my chest."

This is the most calm I've ever heard her talk in my life, without cussing or any pettiness.

"Enlighten me then, Dreana."

"I want you to know that I know I've done and said some things that were so rude and just not my place to say. And that it hurt you, and has made you hate me...but you know all I said about Chris is true, you can't deny it now. And I have proof that he's not who you think he is."

"What're you talking about?" I ask her cause I'm lost.

"Listen to this. I got it in the mail today." She says handing me a USB

I plug it into my computer, and click the audio that pops up.

"You're looking stressed babe, what's the matter?"

It's Kae's voice, no doubt about that.

"Kae it's cool. I'm good."

Chris. Of course.

"Bae please, you don't have to lie to me. I'm here, whatever you need to tell me I'm gonna listen." She tells him

"I keep thinking about that house." He says

"The one you're ex had?" She asks

"Yeah that one. I keep going there, thinking something would be different but it's not. I hate that it's there. I wish it was gone." He tells her

"Do you want me to do something about it?" She replies

He laughs. "Yeah, burn that shit down."

The clip stops. I thought I've experienced hurt before but what I'm feeling right now is... Indescribable. I know I shouldn't just conclude that he was behind it...and is letting Kae take the fall. But when he found out he was so surprised....
