"What the hell!?" I look at my husband and supposedly best friend on his desk. "Baby, it's not what it looks like" He gets up and tries to pull his pants up. "Save it! This is why you have been distant with me, because you were seeing-her! I can't believe you!" He starts walking towards me "Please baby I just...I don't know it was a mistake I swear!" He looks me in the eye and tries to grab my hands, but I slap them away from me. "No! The only mistake made was trusting you!" I turn around and walk away "Be ready to sign the divorce papers Nick!" With that I sprint to the elevator with tears falling freely down my face. ❀✿❀ THANK YOU FOR 100K READS! 9/9/17 ILY ALL SO MUCH! 1mil reads !!
