Step Brother 2: Jealousy (Completed)

Nine

I played the video, and I swear my heart was in my throat. I knew for a fact it was him. I've slept with him for over 10 years, that girl was giving my husband head.

I felt sick instantly, I hoped that he would at least realise what he was doing was wrong, think of me, but no, he finished in her mouth.

I just couldn't believe my eyes.
I felt my whole world shatter in the moment I spent watching that video.

I couldn't breathe, I couldn't see past the tears. I just sat there and cried my eyes out. How could the man I thought loved me more than anything, not only do this, but send it to me? Why?

...

After an hour, I eventually stopped crying. I'd tried to pull myself together, as much as possible.
That was until he showed up. For a moment, I thought about how I'd react. Sad? Mad? Angry? Hateful?
But, none of them seemed appropriate.
I wanted to confront him so bad.
Another part of me wanted to pretend I didn't see it, just to see if he would admit it, or try hide it.
Stupid? Maybe.

I stepped out of the car, after applying more makeup around my eyes, trying hard to hide the fact I've been crying for the last hour.

He almost jumped out of his skin when he seen me. I could already tell from a distance, that he was high as fuck. Right now though, I didn't care.

We need to talk.
I said coldly, as I used my key to unlock the front door. He didn't speak, he just stood outside for a moment. Was he wondering if I seen the video? I couldn't give a fuck.

He walked inside a minute later. He even had the audacity to look me in the eye, but I stood tall, I looked right through the man I once thought would never hurt me.

I just came here so that we could work out a routine for Kaida. I don't want the house. I don't want any of the money. Just incase you thought that. I don't want money from you for Kaida, you can spend your money on her.
He was a little taken back, he definitely looked confused. I don't think my calm approach eased that.

Wait, why are you so calm?
I smiled softly at his question.

Because what's the point in reacting negatively? We both know this marriage is over, we have a child. We need to get along for her.

Have you checked your phone?
He finally asked, sounding worried.

Why?
I crossed my arms, but held a blank expression.

I know you seen it, Kate.
I just shrugged. He tried slowly approaching me, but with each step he took forward, I took two back.
I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking. I wanted to hurt you.

That's fine.
I said nonchalantly, as I sat down.
Now, back to Kaida. She will be staying in the same school. I hope to get a house close by in the next couple of weeks. So what days would you like? As far as Christmases and such, I think we should at least try spend a couple hours, of each holiday together, but if you disagree, we can split the day in half. One of us gets the first half, the other gets the second half.
I was so proud of myself, and how composed I was, even though every time I looked him in the eye, I just wanted to break down. So I avoided eye contact.
