Wait! Susie, you must understand. She’s still my wife.” I said as I approached a partially opened office door, closing it again. 

I swallowed deeply. "Look, Susie. I'm not going to cross that line. I know here recently we've had some intimate moments. But that was a mistake on both of our parts. We should have never gotten physical with one another, especially after I had already married someone else, it was wrong, darling, and I apologize for not showing more restraint back then. I think you are a great girl and friend to me, but that's all we've ever been, and I think we should keep it that way.

No movement and quiet filled the office.

 I stood there wondering what would explode next because she refused to look in my direction.

"It's because of Zari!" She said my wife's name with a heavy resentment, and I bristled. I stood, shoving my hands in my front pocket as she continued talking with so much malice.

"What is it with her? How can you be drawn to someone who can’t even light a candle to me in wealth, education, and class? She comes from poorness and lacks sophistication! What do you see in her?! You were supposed to be my husband, not hers! What makes her so special?! One of us got to go! There isn't enough room on the planet for both of us!"

My head snapped up as I looked Susie squarely in the eye. "I don't like your tone. Susie, I'm not your husband. Please don't ask me questions about another female like we're married to one another! Our relationship was wrong from the beginning and is still wrong now! I am legally in a committed relationship! Zari is my wife!”

Then she says, in a soft voice. "I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that I thought after two or three years that you were willing to ask Zari for a divorce. I thought you were ready for us to spend whatever time I had left." Susie softly states.

"Susie, I've been meaning to ask you. When will I be able to see proof of your health condition?"

Susie grabs her coat, putting it over her body. She stood up. "What?! You don't trust me!" She yelled.

"You want me to take your word, and for years I have, but why can't I see proof that you are very ill? When you do things like you did tonight, like make sexual advances toward me as often as you do, even though you say you are very sick. I've always wondered about your health at times like right now. I have never known anyone to be sick as you claim but have energy for as much sex as you do."

"Oh, she's poisoned your mind! Just because I don't want to deprive you of pleasure and make you suffer like she does! You are doubting me when I only want to keep you happy.  I can't stand that she's stealing you away from me!" She said, refusing to address my statements about her illnesses.

"Susie, listen to yourself. You can't have something stolen from you that was never really yours. If Zari hadn't returned home, nothing would have changed, Susie. I like you and tried to be by your side and was willing to keep my promise to Lucas, but I can't do what you requested of me as a married man. Sure, no marriage is perfect. But my parents have been together 35 years through the good and bad, and they are still together. My grandparents have been together for almost twice that amount of time. I guess I inherited their stick-to-it-ness. So let's not do this anymore, Susie; let us remain friends."

Susie stared as she stood there, frozen as the pain sank into the cavity of her heart. She didn't know what to say, but she knew what she needed to do.

"Dev, you always had to get your way. I guess that's my fault. But, no matter how much I've tried, look where it's gotten me." Susie started to cry, saying. "Look at what you've done."

"What have I done? Look, I'm sorry if I hurt you, Susie. That was not my intention, but I never led you on or promised you we would be in a marital relationship. If you got that impression along the way, I sincerely apologize."

It was time for me to move on. The cracks in our perfectly orchestrated situationship were starting to show. We had some great times, some excellent times. But it was getting out of hand. If I didn't end this now, it would degrade further. Zari needed my full attention, and Susie thought she deserved something I couldn’t offer her, especially my time and heart. And I wouldn't entertain anyone trying to come in between Zari and me any longer. I took her purse off the table and handed it to her. Susie stood up, slipping and pressing her supple body against mine. She laid her face against my arm.

"Dev, please don’t let us part this way. I don't think it's fair you won't give us a chance. If it doesn't work out, then we could end it. So please stay with me."

I turned around and put my hands on her shoulders, holding her away at arm's length. "I'll always be here as your friend." She looked up at me as her hope was crumbling. She forced her hands and arms around my waist, hugging me tightly. I extricated myself from her arms.

"Take care of yourself, Susie."

Before she could walk out the door, she said. "I think you underestimate my ability. You will be mined; you wait and see!"

I walked out the door across to the elevators. "I'll be waiting for you to change your mind, Dev. She won't be here forever."

The elevator doors dinged and opened. I stepped inside. Susie stood there fighting back her tears. She clenched her teeth.

'It's not over. I'm not going to give up!’

She shut the door and leaned against it, tears hovering over her eyes. 'I let my guard down too late. But, on the other hand, she thought, 'maybe I was a little too harsh.' But I have to give it my all, and next time I can't afford to make any mistakes."

Later that evening, when I left the office the ride down the elevator felt like a relief. But then I rested against the wall during the ride, and disconcerted thoughts entered my brain. "What did she mean, 'She won't be here forever?' I tried to shake away the negative thoughts but couldn't.

 "Could it be possible that Susie had something to do with Zari’s accident? No, she wouldn't go that far. Or would she? 

What will she try and do next? Devon nervously wondered.

  • My Unfortunate Loving Wife   52- Closure

    “Devon what should I do?” She asked after muting the call. “Take the call.” Devon poured himself a cup of coffee.. He could see Zari was deep in thought. So he took a seat at the table. She looked at him. Her body heaved, again and again. It was time to purge. Zari told Devon. “I agree we can’t keep ignoring his phone calls.” “Yes, so you should tell him goodbye so we can move on with our life." Devon hugged her, and her stomach finally settled. Now she could finally put it all to rest finally. “Hello Evan. Please listen to me first. I'm so sorry, I had no idea not responding to your call for these months would bring you here. I am the biggest procrastinator there is. I'm the type if something is happening today or a problem arises. I tell myself that I will worry about tomorrow. It's the way I have coped with issues by telling myself to deal with them tomorrow. When tomorrow comes, I face something new and have forgotten all about yesterday's concerns. But now that I'm appl

  • My Unfortunate Loving Wife   Episode 51 - Time heals all wounds.

    Zari remembers Devon, not from her past and she doesn't recall the vows from the past. The tragic kidnapping and accident have erased pieces of Zari's memory, including the recollection of her first wedding. The memory from photographs, pictures that capture the passion between them on that particular day, is her only memory in pictures. But she can't forget her loving husband, Devon she has now. After making court appearances, his brother's lawyer, in the end, pleaded insanity. Evan was going away to a mental institution where hopefully, he'll get the help he needs. Since his health didn't permit it, Devon's father had to humble himself and ask his oldest son to take over the family business entirely. Devon encourages his father to trust his sister Mina, who can manage the family business more successfully than he could ever. Once the dust settled, the reality of the problems of the Hightower family hit home. It was now time for Devon and Zari to concentrate on their life. Zari d

  • My Unfortunate Loving Wife   Episode 50 - Letting Go

    After telling Devon what happened to her, Zari could see that Devon was beyond angry. “Devon, I don’t want to share anymore. All you need to know, baby, is that I fought and fought to keep him from taking me until he put that towel over my nose and forced me into the back seat of his car. "Do you remember the make and model of the car Zari?" Devon anxiously asks. I think so, but I only remember the color, nothing much else, because before I passed out, he covered me with a blanket, and I quickly lost consciousness. Upon waking, I felt drugged and limp; my hands and feet were bound, and once inside his house, I was forced into the shower to shave. "Shave?" "Please don't make me share details." Devon nodded, "Tell me." Zari continued. "The man led me across the hall into a room; I tried to get away many times. That's when he handcuffs and leaves me alone for I don't know how long. Until I was dying of thirst and starving for food, and that was the beginning of my nightmare and

  • My Unfortunate Loving Wife   Episode 49 - Cloudy Brain

    Zari finally awakened and she wasn't sure about anything. She just wasn't sure of much anymore only that she was unhappy and then suddenly happy. Being that the caretaker dropped the dose of meds, she was giving Zari. She began to cry a lot. She cried when it rained. She cried at the sound of gloomy music on the tv and radio.She cried over the fact that she cried and she cried because things lacked substance. Zari felt as if she was moving in slow motion, swimming through a sea of shadows. Then she said, “What an awful Metaphor,” she thought, and then she laughed asking herself, “What is a metaphor? How did I know that word?”Even though she didn't know what the word meant anymore, she had the feeling she'd known it, once before. She'd known a lot of things. Then again, maybe not. Something was wrong with her. Wrong, she thought.He told her the doctors said she was ill. Not that she recalls seeing a doctor. He told her that she had additional problems. “Your memory was failing her.

    He stared at those pink panties she wore. His hand lingered over her center as if too excited to touch it. His eyes cascaded down her thighs to her legs. He realized she still had on her shoes. He hurried to the foot of the bed. “I'm sorry, that should have been the first thing I removed. Please forgive me, dear.” He said, looking up at her face and chuckling. Once he removed her shoes from her feet. He climbed back into bed, smiling non-stop. He wanted her; she was almost too precious to touch. But his twisted mind convinces him to make her his bride and wife. And he felt the only way is to have intercourse with her. That way, she will become his, and he would be able to wipe away the grime she's been living with all this time. "She will be all mine," He repeated breathlessly in heat. The sound of labored breathing, the crescendo of gasps and moans escaped his throat as he removed her bra and panties. His right hand cupped her breast while the other rubbed her mound. Zari lay th

    She felt someone grab her from behind. She tried to scream as the white cloth was placed over her mouth. He held it there until she stopped moving and completely collapsed in his arms. He knew he had to avoid the cameras. The only one he saw was the one across the street. He maneuvered around the building getting behind the camera. He opens up his car door and puts her in the back seat. He closed his eyes and shook his head. “Why didn't she just listen?” He got in the car and drove off. As Zari lay there on the backseat, knocked unconscious. He was rambling as if she could hear him. “Why didn't you listen?” He asked as he let out a sigh. “You heard everything I told you, and you know I was right about that punk Devon the first time. He shook his head, his lips trembling. “I don't get you, Zari. After all the abuse you've gone through, I'm here to protect you, and you don't want it.” He was coming in and out of insanity and sanity. “What did you say?” He looked back to the backseat
