Something inside of me broke. I knew since the first time I saw her that something was off. I knew it. I felt it. But his promise of telling me not to worry, calmed me. I have to trust the love of my life. Right? But this... This is breaking every single bit of trust between us.

Why? Why did he do that?

I can't sleep, I can't stop crying. I feel so... So broken? He told me himself that she was just working with him. Why did I believe that?

I feel so stupid. I'm on our bed weeping for him when he's probably having fun with her. I'm in the house, our home, taking care of our baby while he is out there cheating on me. I'm fucking pregnant with our second child, and still, he prefers someone else. I don't get it.

Is it because I didn't stay with him? Is this my fault? This can't be happening to me. Why?

God. Why does it have to hurt so much?

I cry without stopping, grabbing my phone again. For my surprise he replied, the message showing on the lock screen.

*Look at that little human! <3 x miss you*

You fucking liar. I throw my phone away not wanting to stare at his message any longer.

I don't know what to do. I feel stupid being here in this enormous house alone. And right now while I'm laying down, I'm remembering that night at the beginning of the year when we promised each other to stay away from the news. It was too toxic. Now I feel like he has taken advantage of that promise.

I'm so stupid, so freaking stupid.

In the morning after sleeping just a couple of hours, I leave the house with a bag packed for Jack and me. I drive to the only place I have been going for the past weeks. I arrive to the rehab center, trying to make myself look decent but the bags under my eyes are prominent. Not even ten tons of makeup can hide them.

I go inside and after checking myself at the reception I go to Jake's room, he just finished taking a shower, his hair is dripping.

"Sienna! Wow, you're here early, it's only past nine." He says surprised, moving a towel on hair. He looks at me noticing something is off, coming closer to me and taking Jack in his arms. "Come sit."

He places Jack's mat on the ground and gives him a toy, coming to sit in front of me. I can't maintain eye contact, my eyes are lost and I can already feel them watering.

"What happened?" He asks lowly, his eyes fixated on me. I can't speak, I don't even have words. "Sienna. Look at me."

I look at him and the first tears leave my eye. He stands up and sits next to me, hugging me to his chest. I don't know how to tell him this. I don't even know if I should. He just finished his recovery.

"I don't like seeing you like this. Please talk to me." He runs his hand on my back while I let silent tears roll down my eyes.

I decide to show him. I get my phone and show him. The tears keep flowing down my face silently, he stares at it, locking the phone and placing it aside.

"Are you sure?" He asks, it's a stupid question.

"No, b-but it's clear as glass. That's him. That's another girl." I say cleaning the falling tears with the back of my hand.

"What I'm asking is... Are you sure this isn't some kind of strategy to confuse the media?" He asks, his arm over my shoulders.

"Why would they need to do it? We don't want to hide anymore." I say sniffling, my tears are slowly stopping. "That was the whole plan of leaving the old management."
