I walk over to the porch searching for traces for her arrival. Suddenly I catch sight of her long straight blonde hair catching wind as she slowly walks down the gravel path. She catches me smiling at her and waves at me. I wave her back, wondering what a lucky man I must be that a woman like her loves me.
PROLOGUE
I see her sit straighter as I enter the room, my navy blue uniform flashing 'Matthews'.
P-You...
M-We need to talk.
P-You won't believe me! No one believes me.....
M-I will. Just tell me,will you? I won't even touch you. I promise.
P-Okay.....
"It was 25 November 2020. He was coming back home after a month. As I heard the doorbell, I rushed downstairs I wrapped my arms around him and fell into him when he shoved me aside. He sent me reeling against the floor....
P-You can't do this to me Dyan. I am pregnant with-
D- Whose child I'm unsure of. Hell, I don't even know how many men you sle-
P-Dyan, watch your tongue! Do you even know what are yo-
D-I do. But can you explain those mails? All those memories of your nights with Jack or Jim or whoever it was. Can you?
P-There is no point of explaining. You've already made up your mind that I am cheating on you. So, I don't want to explain you anything.
D-Good then. Sign these goddamn papers and off you go!
P-What do you mean? What papers are these?
D-I'm sure you can read DIVORCE written. Sign!
P-I won't sign them. You can't do this to us...
D- Oh yes. Sure I can. And I'm doing it right now. Sign it if you don't want me to lose it. Now!
I signed.
D-Now. OUT OF MY HOUSE! "
P-I set out of the house into the dimly-lit waterlogged street in the rain. It was all a blur...Maybe I heard a few honks and headlights and all started to go round and round and then...I awoke here.
CHAPTER-1 (MATTHEWS)
1 AM. CID OFFICER MATTHEWS' APARTMENT
As I drag myself through the door of my apartment I've been living in with my wife Kate for the past 7 years, I felt lost. I don't know what to think. I was ...Confused? Guilty? Or nothing? The moment I stepped in Kate wrapped me in a hug. I let myself loose.
K-Why so late tonight, honey?
M-A new case. Too intriguing...
K-Tired?
M-Not for you.
She leads me to our balcony where she had arranged a pretty candlelit dinner table. We sit down to eat, talking of our day holding hands the entire time. We make love afterwards and didn't wake up until 11AM.
