Broken Promises (ON HOLD)

PROLOGUE

The beeping of her phone disrupted her sleep.It was 2 am in the morning.She got up from the sofa where she had fallen asleep last night waiting for Mike.

She checked her phone but there were no signs of Mike.She tried calling him.No answer.She was worried.

There was a knock on the door.It was him.

"Where were you,Mike?", Ashley cried."I was so worried."

"I don't need to answer all your questions,Ashley",he flatly said and left the living room.

She sat on the sofa recalling the events in the last few days.Mike had not been speaking properly to her and that,too for no reason.She had been surprised for the change of his behaviour.

Days passed but Mike didn't behave well with Ashley.He had started getting a lot of messages and his phone would continuously beep.That was the only time Ashley would see Mike smiling.

Ashley couldn't help but watch their relationship turn sour. Everytime she asked him any question all she would get was a curt reply.

Their 4-year old son Travis had also started noticing his father's harsh behaviour.His father wasn't same as before.Whenever he asked his mother about Mike,she had no answer.

One night,when Mike had again come late and was sleeping,his phone continued to beep.Ashley got up and couldn't stop herself from opening his message.

"Goodnight darling.That was a beautiful night,wasn't it?See u soon.Lots of love",the message said.There was also a picture of Mike with a young girl.

Ashley was shattered.She started recalling her college days,Mike proposing to her,their baby and the happy times they had together. She couldn't stop her tears.She cried for hours and hours.

It was morning before she finally got up and came out in the lawn.Ashley realized that her tears weren't going to change anything.She had to take a drastic step.And she knew what to do.
