Andrew’s POV

My anger screeches into a halt when I see Melissa on the floor. She herself tries to get up, but she sways in her spot for a split-second before losing her balance completely.

But this time, I catch her in my arms before she hits the floor.

And this time, her eyes are closed. Her face is pale, completely drained of color. Almost deathly. She’s basically withering in my arms, and that’s when I realize that she’s not pretending. There’s simply no way she could have faked this.

I set her down on the couch, taking out my phone and calling the family doctor. “Hello, Doctor Matthews. It’s me, Andrew. I need you to come to our house immediately. My wife is unconscious.”

The doctor arrives almost immediately, looking a little apprehensive when he sees Melissa on the couch. I take her up to the bedroom so she could be more comfortable while the doctor inspects her.

I wait at the door, only perking up when the doctor comes to me.

“So, is she alright?”

“Did you two fight again?”

  • When Our Daughter Died, My Husband Cheated   113 - Sparks

    Melissa’s POVI’m back to work now, and everything just feels so… surreal.It doesn’t even feel like I should be here. Suddenly my hand doesn’t know how to make designs. I’ve been staring at my sketchpad for four hours now, and nothing is coming to mind. All I have here is an outline of a body. For a man. Which I guess is making things more challenging, but know that I can usually rise to the occasion and do something good.Except now.“Fuck,” I whisper to myself, squeezing my own hands like I’m going to extract some kind of beauty from it. “Come on, work with me….”I take a deep breath. The clock chimes for the end of the work day but I didn’t get up from my seat, I stay there, staring at my empty paper, desperate to create something so that the day doesn’t feel like a waste.But it’s already heading in that direction, it seems.And it’s all because my thoughts are going haywire.I didn’t sleep last night because of Andrew. I was so bothered by his emotions and his confessions that I

There’s no in between, and it’s disconcerting.But today, he wakes up when the sun just started to set. He gets up from his best and goes to the balcony, enjoying the view. He missed watching the sun set like this.However, instead of seeing beauty, he sees sadness in the sky. He remembers going to the lake with Allie and Melissa, when Andrew was still complying to everything he ever asked for. Allie sat next to him beside the lake, wanting to dip her toes into the water.“You can’t reach it from the dock yet,” he told her. She was what, only three years old? “If you try, you’re going to fall and we’re all going to have to find you because it’s getting late and the lake is deep.”The little girl got scared. She jumped into his lap and hugged him. “Please don’t let me fall, pee-paw.”He laughed. It was so silly to be the king of a business empire and be

  • When Our Daughter Died, My Husband Cheated   110 - Hot Night

  • When Our Daughter Died, My Husband Cheated   109 - Hunter

While everything was happening, Melissa was doing this. She was busy trying to sever the ties that had brought them together. She’s been so eager to get rid of him that it just… worked.All the things that she said to him are still whirring in his mind as he picks up the papers. He stares at them for another second, wondering how it all came to this.“You really want me to sign?” Andrew asks in a low voice. “You really want me to end this?”“It’s already long dead,” Melissa confirms. “Sign it, and let’s bury this altogether.”He looks at the paper again, then back at Melissa. This time, she reaches into her car one more time and gives him a pen. He takes it absent-mindedly.
