Emily...I'm so sorry. I didn't think you would find out this way" He says with tears in his eyes.
My heart, is torn, shattered in thousands of pieces as I see what's in front of me. 
"I was going to tell you, I promise. I wasn't always like this."
It's like he's stabbed this knife, into my chest and with every word he speaks, he twists the knife, deeper and moving it inside me. I can't bare to handle it. The person I loved. The person I thought loved me, betrays me. Why? 
"I thought I knew you."  I manage to say. 
"You do! You're the person who brought the best out of me!"
Everything becomes a blur. And I see his lips moving, and he's drawing closer to me but I can't make out what he's saying because I don't want to listen to anything he speaks. 
"I honestly would prefer to see you lying naked in bed with another woman than this." He freezes, his eyes wide and his mouth speechless. 
The man I thought I knew and the only man I ever came to love, doesn't exist. 
But, I can't let this slip. He will not get away with it.
