The Lawyer

Chapter 52

Today I was being released from the hospital, and I was on my way to Bruno's house. Now that we're engaged, it's crossed my mind, about selling both of our homes, and purchasing one together. However, this mess that's going on, it may not happen. I placed Lucy in her crib, while Bruno and I were sitting in the entertainment room. I didn't even want to sit next to him. I need him to tell me the truth. "So tell me about this court thing." I asked. "Liliana, I don't..." "Bruno!" I raised my voice. "Don't lie to me. Tell me why you're being taken to court." I said holding in my anger. "Baby its nothing." Bruno was still in denial. "Who's Destiny then?" I asked. "I don't recall anyone named Destiny." I can't believe he's still lying to me. "Bruno stop playing victim, and stop playing like you have no fucking sense. I know what happened. So I know you know something. I'm going to ask you again. What...the fuck is going on?" Bruno took a deep breath. "Okay." Bruno said. "When we broke up in June I was so mad at myself for what I had done to you. I went to bar in L.A. and I met a girl named Destiny. She was there for the same reason. An end of a relationship. We were talking and we got drunk. When I look back, I did things I regret now." Bruno said. "So you two had sex?" "I wish I could say no, but we did." "Why didn't you tell me before?" I asked. "At the time we were broken up, so I didn't necessarily cheat on you, but afterwards, I woke up, alone, by myself. I couldn't bare the feeling knowing you weren't in my life. I looked back the night before and I knew that's life I don't want to live, and that I'd fight to get spend my life with you." Bruno teared up. "I felt that if I had told you, you'd leave me again. I couldn't see you walk away again. I just couldn't."
