My Husband and Our Lover

Chapter 14: Our life is a lie.

The table fell silent. Edwin's eyes showed guilt. Jack looked lost in thought. I must have been a horrible person in my past life cause all of these bad things keep happening. The world must be laughing at me because not only did I just find out that my husband slept with my best friend who is like a sister to me while we were first together but she got pregnant by him and now Emma and my in laws show up. Someone had to of informed Emma because when she comes in she runs to Jack and tries to apologize.

EMMA: Baby I'm sorry it's not what you think. It was an accident please forgive me.

Jack pushed her off and stands up. He looks at his best friend and his wife. He then focuses his eyes on me. 

EMMA: Jack please... Please listen me both of you. Abs I would never do this to you not intentionally.

JACK: You know Abigail I would have never faulted you for leaving when you found him and O'Connell together. Even though I really wanted you to be with my Edwin because he was my best friend and I could see the pain in his eyes. I could see how much he loves you. I knew you must have been in so much pain because what they did was so wrong. Now though I can fully understand your pain. It fucking kills you. I literally feel as if my whole insides are being gutted. I can't even image you having to go through this yet again before you even healed from the first time. I think you should take Sandro's offer and go start a life with him in it Italy because he seems like the only one besides me as your friend that gives a damn about you.

EDWIN: No that will not happen. Listen Jack I'm sorry. It was a mistake. We don't even remember it. All we remember is seeing each other at the bar getting drunk and the next morning we woke up in bed together. I would never hurt you. you are my brother.

Edwin starts to walk around the table to me.

ME: no... no... NO... leave me alone... do not touch me.

Sandro and Jack stands in front of me blocking me from him.

EDWIN: Baby please. Please I can't loss you. You are my everything. Please baby I love you. Please... please don't leave me.

I'm in shock to say the least. Patrick and Edwin's mom Susan come to me wrapping there arms around me.

PATRICK: What's wrong Princess? Tell me what's going on?

JACK: Oh nothing much just finding out that my wife is a whore and slept with my best friend who happens to be her best friends husband Oh and he got pregnant then. Other then that you know the food is good as always.

Jack says in a sarcastic tone.

They wrap their arms tight around me.

DAVID EDWIN'S DAD: what is the meaning of this son?

EDWIN: Dad it was along time ago like a month after we started dating and they were together for like 5 months. It was a drunken mistake that we promised to never talk about. Yes she ended up pregnant but we were not sure if it was mine of Jack's so we never said anything. Emma ended up having a miscarriage and it was never talked about again.

PATRICK: How could you? How could you keep this from them?

DAVID: I'm so disgusted with you. I didn't raise you like this.

EDWIN: Babygirl please come to me I need you in my arms right now...I love you.

I grab Jack's arm and he turns to me.

ME: Jacky Please get me out of here.

He nods and grabs my things. Meanwhile Edwin is trying to get to me but is now being held by Patrick, Shane, and his Dad. Alessandro holds me by the waist so I don't loss my balance. Emma sits with her head in her hands crying as Mom tries to sooth her. Mom looks at me and says "I'm so sorry. I love you so much my beautiful girl." I just nod in response.

"What do we do now?" Jack asked. "Why don't we go and get Theo and the three of you come to my penthouse and stay until we figure out something." Sandro suggests. "No, I will not leave my home I bought that home with my money. It's my house." Jack said. "Well man I think you need to figure out what you want to do then. No one would look at you and judge no matter what the choice. As for Abby and Theo I think they should stay away from Edwin. I don't trust him. Especially in this state when he knows he is losing you he might do something dangerous." Sandro speaks. "I agree I think they should stay with you. I know he would never harm either of them but I think she needs space without him interrupting." Jack says. "What do you think Abby." Sandro asked. "Okay, I just need to pick up Theo and get somethings." I say in a defeated state. "Let's get Theo and as for everything else I can buy it for you." He replied.

The ride to pick up Theo was silent. I was numb again. I thought I'd never feel this pain again. He promised to never do this again to me. The pain is even worse though. My best friend. My sister. How could she. How could they. My life was a lie. Well my life sense university was a lie. His love was a lie. Our life was a lie. Our family. What about Theo? What will come of his outlook on family and love?
