~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It was a Monday afternoon. Before that day he's been stressed for a very long time. I can remember that time like it was yesterday. He spoke less and he wasn't around much. One morning when I walked into the kitchen he was sitting in his usual chair at the head of the table, staring at......I don't know....nothing. I asked him what was wrong, but he said it was nothing. Well I wasn't dumb, I knew something was up. So I sat down and looked at him, not knowing how to get it out of him.
He looked at me and sighed, saying I was being ridiculous about the situation.

"What situation?" I asked.

He sighed again. "Please Lexy, let it go"

But I didn't budge, I had to know why he changed all of a sudden. He never kept secrets for me, but I was a hundred percent sure he did now and it was a big secret.

If I had know that him telling me that secret would eventually lead to his death, I wouldn't even think of wanting to know what it was.

But of course I didn't stop until he told me. I was a very eager woman. Never stopped until I had the information I was looking for. Never budged until I was satisfied.

Before he told me, he kept saying he loved me and I would always be the one he loved.

Not like he didn't tell me that before, but in the short period of time before that day he did it a lot more.

And to me that was a confirmation that he was hiding something bad from me.

I didn't care how much he told me that he loved me that day, all I cared about was to know what he was hiding.

He held my hand and kissed them before saying he had a daughter.

I didn't get it. I laughed saying "Stop joking around El, I know WE have a daughter"

He looked at me with a pained expression on his face and then it dawned on me.

It hit me like wrecking ball, that came to me with all the power it could bring with it.

"Elliott please tell me you're joking. Baby look at me" I took his face in my hands, but he didn't look me in the eye "you're confused right? Is it something at work that is frustrating you? You would never do that to me. You'd never cheat on me. That's not what you mean. Please tell me you're joking"

My hands were shaking. No.. my whole body was shaking.

"Alexandra, baby, I'm...." He said taking my hands into his, but I jerked my hands away from his and I got up.

I wanted to walk away from him and his confession.

My legs were so weak and I couldn't walk. I stumbled and fell. I sat on the floor and covered my ears, cause I didn't want to hear anything else.

I started screaming. Screaming really loud. I was screaming my lungs out.

It had to be a joke.

My husband would never cheat on me. He didn't have a reason to. I've always made sure I was the ideal partner for him.
