Melissa’s POV

I land on the unfinished, uneven carpet of the basement. If I didn’t prop myself up with my arms on time, I would have fallen face-first. Still, there’s pain shooting up the base of my hands and my knees.

Andrew really pushed me in. He really laid his hands on me.

I whip around to face him, to make him see the absolute disgust in my face. He stands by the doorway, his expression unreadable, a mix of anger and guilt and confusion, like he himself can’t believe what he just did.

“So this is what you finally turned into,” I spit out, trying to push myself back on my feet. “You dare put your hands on me? After I told you the truth?”

Andrew doesn’t listen. He’s too far gone. The denial in his eyes seems to have turned into full delusion right before me, and it’s making him retreat into his own body as he moves to close the door.

I jump in the way to stop him, but he’s faster than me.

Soon enough, I hear the click of the lock, followed by the creeping darkness that enveloped me

    Third Person POVWatching Melissa beam at the idea of going out with random men just doesn’t sit right with Andrew. He stays there, completely dumbstruck, waiting for either of them to say that they’re joking.But no such thing comes.In fact, Grandpa seems hyped. More energetic than Andrew has ever seen since Grandpa came back from the Netherlands.“I know just the one,” Grandpa says, raising his hand happily. “I know just the right man who will sweep you off your feet.”Andrew is appalled by what he’s hearing. He looks at Melissa who is all smiles, then back at Grandpa who seems to be cooking up a masterplan with everything that Andrew doesn’t like.“I don’t agree to this,” Andrew says, turning to Melissa again. “Are you really going to start meeting random men like some kind of—”“Don’t even say it, because you and I both know it’s not the same,” she interjects. “I’ll be meeting men vetted by Grandpa, and it’s going to be a lot of fun.”With that, she turns to Grandpa and kisses hi

    Melissa’s POVMy heart jumps because of Grandpa’s reaction. The last thing I want is for him to get angry about my decision. It doesn’t help that Eleanor’s lips are curving ever so slightly in anticipation of my lashing. Andrew is frozen, opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water.He turns to me angrily, and I know that the spotlight is on me and me alone.I immediately rush over to Grandpa. For a second, I consider lying, but I knew that he won’t appreciate that even more.“Grandpa… yes,” I say, swallowing hard. “It’s true. I have proposed divorce. It’s been a while now. We don’t live together anymore.”Silence fills the room. I can see the flash of disappointment in his face. Guilt rises in my throat like bile. I open my mouth to apologize, but Andrew speaks.“I was and is still against it,” he explains. “But as you can see, she always insists. I’ve been the one who’s determined to see this through to the end. Melissa is exhausting her means trying to get out of it.”Gr

    Andrew’s POVNo, I refuse to think about all those things.I’ve been drowning myself in work for the past day, so much so that I have grown unaware of what day it is. All I stare at are papers. The only people I have talked to are clients and my assistants. My eyes are dry and tired. I just want to go to a place that I can call home… without my two families wanting something from me.I know it’s a product of my own mistakes, but I’m exhausted.“Sir?” my secretary calls out to me, holding out a phone. “Miss Ivy wants to talk to you.”I ignore her for a bit, rubbing my temples as I stare at the business card on my desk.A business card for a private investigator.Yes, I’ve been thinking about hiring one to investigate whether or not Melissa’s claims are real.But in the end, I don’t want Melissa to be right.“Sir?” My secretary walks into my office and puts the phone on my desk. “Miss Ivy says that it’s urgent. I can’t hold her off anymore, she’s getting very upset. I’m sorry.”“It’s al

  • When Our Daughter Died, My Husband Cheated   67 - Story

  • When Our Daughter Died, My Husband Cheated   66 - Sweet Revenge

    Melissa's POVGrandpa is right. Even after a millisecond after he let go of those words, I knew that he was right. I've been stomped on for most of my life, and my marriage to Andrew was something that I thought would turn things around for me. Don't get me wrong, I went into it knowing that I wasn't the one he loved, but I had hope.That was the thing that I had before that I didn't know. Hope. Back then, I actually had something to lose. My marriage, my daughter.But now, Allie is gone. Andrew is so deep in denial. My marriage is nothing but a sham, a bridge on its final days, one gust of wind away from breaking.So why have I been holding back? Why have I tried to be kind?"It's not right for you to stay this way," Grandpa says, staring at me with his intense eyes. Searing the message into me. "Melissa... I know that you're a good person. You always have been. From the very beginning you had a soft heart and that's why I vowed to protect your best interests. But I don’t know how

  • When Our Daughter Died, My Husband Cheated   65 - Fight Back

    Third Person POV“I don’t know,” Eleanor says, biting her lip and conjuring some well-timed tears for Andrew. “She told me to fuck off and leave her alone. I don’t think she wants to admit that she’s wrong. I’m really sorry. I tried to convince her, but she really won’t come out!”Andrew paces the floor. It’s not really in character for Melissa to be this stubborn, but then again, what does he know about her? What does he know about this new version of her?The lies should stop. He’s willing to work things out if she just comes clean about so many things. And yet she can’t even do that even if it means freeing herself.“What do I do?” Eleanor asks. “Should I go back in?”“No,” Andrew says absently. “I’ll go back in there later. I’ll give Melissa maybe fifteen minutes. She will change her mind.”Eleanor blanches. Fifteen minutes? Giving Melissa a chance? Really?He keeps pacing the floor and she knows that she won’t be able to get to him in this state of mind. She needs to stop him fro
