The Dominant

Epilogue

No marriage is perfect, we commit mistakes, we rise and we fall, we laugh and we cry, some nights may be horrible and painful, some nights may be passionate and loving. But, at the end of the day we always choose whether or not we would stay or leave our partner.

Everything in life is a choice, I chose to cheat, I chose to fall back, I chose to destroy us.

But I also chose to fix us.

I know you probably hate me for being a selfish coward, Zyraj did not deserve any of it.

I guess I had the tendency to destroy everything I love...

I destroyed her...

I'm still trying to pick up the broken pieces, she's still trying to remove the broken shards that is embedded on her skin. She's still healing from the damage I've caused her.

I'm not rushing...

I know what I did was unrepairable, she would bear the pain for as long as she lives and I would bear the guilt about what I did.

We're still trying to fix our marriage or what's left of it.

Zyraj and the kids move back in our house after a month of staying Zy's parents. We're not the same as we used to be. She's changed and I understand why. I promised myself that I would be patient. I've been consistently doing her grand gestures and to my surprise she's not refusing or rejecting the things I'm doing for her.

She's giving me another chance and I'm not going to fuck it up again.

I'd like to think that what happened was a wake up call for me not to take my family for granted. They're the reason why I live, the reason why I continue to work hard and the reason why I'm happy.

-

I know I have a long way to go...

I know this is not the ending you wanted, but I want to tell you something.

We can't always get what we want. That's the harsh reality we need to face.

We don't always get a happy ending...

Not yet for me at least. 

I still have a chance to make everything right.

I'm sorry if I disappointed you, I'm sorry if I've hurt you. The truth is I always make everything miserable, I guess I was made to cause a destruction to the people who's close to me.

But I am Exequiel and this is my fucked up story...

End.
