“Bella! Slow down! Emma is scared,” I yelled.

With a sullen expression, Bella slowly slowed down the car. I was quite relieved at that moment. That was the first time I saw a side of Bella that I had never seen before. She was indeed good at hiding everything. It was proven during the seven years of our marriage that I knew nothing about her. I’m sure everyone would say I’m a fool.

Not long after, the car driven by Bella stopped in front of an ice cream shop. The shop looked empty from the outside. Emma and I got out of the car, but Bella suddenly changed her mind and said, “You two go in. I’ll go home first to prepare lunch.” She gave that as her reason.

I turned and looked at Emma’s face. She looked disappointed. Maybe she just wanted to spend time with her parents. Seeing her like that suddenly made my heart ache because I had been in Emma’s position since I was seven years old.

I grew up in a broken family. My parents divorced, and my mother granted me custody. Not long after

    Hannah“The salary is good. More than enough. Thank you, Mr. Walker. You are very kind. I don’t know how I can repay you.”Chris smiled sweetly as he placed a pen in front of me. “If you agree with all the terms and have read the entire contract, please sign here.” His index finger pointed to the bottom of the contract where my name was printed.That meant I had been accepted to work here from the start.“I will read the contract first,” I replied. He nodded and let me read it carefully.After about fifteen minutes, I finished reading and found nothing wrong with the contract. Neither party was at a disadvantage. Then, I took the pen and signed it. After signing the employment contract, I handed it to Chris, along with the pen. He took the contract and thanked me.“Congratulations, you are now officially part of The Walker Company. I hope you enjoy working here. If you need anything, you can ask Mark or me. Do you have questions?” he asked.“Not for now. Maybe after I finish my tasks,

    HannahI followed the young woman into the elevator, heading for the eighth floor. During the ride, she remained silent and didn’t say a word. I didn’t dare ask her anything. My heart was beating faster, and I was sure she could hear it. To make matters worse, my palms were getting sweatier. I took a tissue from my bag and wiped my sweaty palms. Suddenly, the young woman turned around and said, “Don’t be nervous. Mr. Walker is very nice, and all the employees here like him very much.” Then she smiled. Seeing her smile and hearing her words made me feel a little calmer. But I still didn’t understand why he was interviewing me. Could it be because I was April’s friend?Hannah, you can do this. God, please help me.Exiting the elevator, we walked down a short hallway. However, the hallway on the eighth floor was quiet. Perhaps this floor was reserved for directors and managers. Even the hallway looked luxurious and elegant. I couldn’t imagine how luxurious the director’s office would be.

    Hannah“That’s outrageous. Damn it! I want to go to your wife, grab her hair, and kick her while cursing at her in front of everyone. She’s a devil and has no heart. How could she have an affair with a married man without feeling guilty? She’s a woman too. She should know how much she hurt me and broke my heart. She’s cruel.” I bowed my head and sobbed. My eyes stung and my vision suddenly blurred as tears filled my eyes.Mike touched my right shoulder and patted it gently. “I feel the same way you do. There’s nothing we can do now but get a divorce and start a new life. I think you know what you have to do.”I nodded several times while wiping my eyes. I couldn’t walk past the crowd of parents with my eyes swollen and red.Mike handed me a few tissues. “Thank you.”After feeling calm enough, I put the hair sample in my bag. “I’ll give this sample to my friend as soon as possible. Thank you for your help. I have to go now because I have a job interview this morning. Talk to you later.

    HannahEarly in the morning, I was ready to take Jensen to school. Jensen had finished breakfast while I was going to have breakfast with April. Jason was still sitting at the dining table enjoying his breakfast. His eyes and hands had been focused on his cell phone since earlier. I wanted to complain, but I was sure he was texting Bella. Since he woke up, he had only greeted Jensen and me with a single word: “Hi.”Last night was the same. He came home late at night, claiming he had to work overtime. I tried asking Kimmy earlier, and she told me there were no employees working overtime.Everyone else had left at 6 p.m. sharp. So, the conclusion was that Jason was lying. I knew he must have met Bella, but I couldn’t follow him because I was busy preparing for Jensen’s birthday party, which was going to be held in a few days. When Jason entered the house, he didn’t apologize or try to spend time with me or Jensen.He didn’t do that, and he didn’t feel guilty. After kissing me and Jensen

    MikeI shook my head several times and without realizing it, clear liquid flowed down my cheeks and onto my face. Spontaneously, I rushed to wipe my eyes. For years, my eyes had never shed tears, not even when I last cried—when my mother passed away. And that night, seeing Bella so intimate with Jason, my memories immediately flashed back to the incident in the women’s restroom at the hospital. The sound of their moans. All of it was excruciatingly painful for me, and my heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles.“Oh, come on, dude. We’ll stay by your side, no matter what happens,” Bill said. Ronny nodded in agreement.“Okay, there’s a message from my friend. Do you want to hear it, Mike?” Bill asked again. I nodded, even though I was afraid to hear it. But everything had already happened; what else was there to fear?“I hope you don’t get emotional after hearing this. So, Jason asked my friend who works as a hotel attendant to bring some cans of beer to his room. A

    Mike“Mom left,” Emma replied sadly.“Where did she say she was going? Who did she go with? When did she leave?” Without realizing it, my voice sounded loud and made Emma sob.“Are you mad at me, Dad?” she asked.“No. I’m not mad at you. I’m sorry. I love you, sweetie.”“I don’t know who Mom went with. Suddenly, she asked me to lock the door and not open it for strangers. Mom said to wait for you to come home. She left about fifteen minutes ago. After locking the door, I went back into my room,” Emma answered innocently. Most likely, what Bill said was true. If that was the case, it meant I would soon see a heartbreaking sight.“Have you eaten yet?”“No. I’m hungry. Can you buy me a burger?” Her voice sounded weak.Oh my God, what’s going on in Bella’s mind? It was already 8 p.m., and Emma had eaten nothing yet.“I’ll buy you a cheeseburger and French fries. How about that?”“Yay! Hurry home, Dad. I don’t want to be alone,” she pleaded.“Okay. Dad will come home after work. You can wa
