I wanted Mason to get a girlfriend as soon as possible so that I didn't have to keep feeling guilty."Meh, we'll see. I can't just make any random woman my girlfriend. I think I wanna torment myself over the sad fact that the woman I like became someone else's wife," Mason said noncommittally."Ugh, I'm changing the subject. We're heading to the hospital today, so…see ya around." The sooner Jolene underwent the procedure, the lower the risk to her health. I hung up and went straight to Evelyn's house. She met me with pronounced shadows under her eyes. It made my heart ache. "I got a doctor. We should go today. The sooner, the better," I said. "I think so too. Let's go," she replied.Jolene nodded woodenly.When we arrived at the hospital, the doctor checked Jolene’s vitals and prepped for the procedure. Evelyn was very worried and kept asking if Jolene would be fine. We had to wait outside, and Evelyn held my hand the whole time."Don’t worry too much. It’ll be fine. The d

“I was busy last night and was finishing up my backlog of work,” Jethro answered noncommittally. With that, he went upstairs.I was exasperated. That was the entirety of his explanation?Losing my appetite, I ate a few more bites and went upstairs too. Jethro had finished his shower by then. He glanced at me, then went to bed. "Where were you last night?" I demanded, starting to grow a little anxious. "I told you, with a friend who needed my help.""A friend? A man or a woman?" He had to be hiding something from me. I had been betrayed before, and this sort of thing brought its own trauma."Do you not trust me? You wouldn’t ask me such a thing if you did," Jethro replied, upset."It's not about trust—I feel insecure. I called you multiple times, but you didn't pick up a single call. Are you going to explain anything?"I didn't think Jethro would betray me, but my insecurity was weighing heavy. "My phone died," he replied flatly as he hugged me. "Look, we've been together

Mason cautiously refrained from adding more upon noticing the shock etched on my face."You’re saying he was with another woman at the hospital yesterday? Do you know who?" I managed to ask despite the turmoil swirling within me."I don't know about that. I heard it secondhand from a nurse. There might be some mistake." Mason quickly tried to backpedal."Do you know that he didn’t come home last night?"I wanted to believe in Jethro, but Mason's revelation disturbed me greatly. The thought of Jethro spending the night elsewhere, possibly with another woman, gnawed at me."He didn’t go home last night?" Mason's surprise was evident. He paused, looking me in the eye with a mix of concern and disbelief. "You shouldn't jump to conclusions, Rina. Jett’s commitment to you is clear. Maybe there's a reasonable explanation for all this. It's best to talk to him directly."I knew Mason was trying to comfort me, but even from his reaction, I could tell he was just as shocked as I was at the

As the room door closed, I could no longer hold back my emotions. My eyes reddened with unshed tears, and a deep sense of betrayal washed over me. Jethro's recent coldness was unlike him. Why had we suddenly become so distant?I was unable to sleep. As time ticked by, it was soon past midnight, yet Jethro had not returned. I couldn't help but suspect that he might not come back tonight. Picking up the phone, I dialed his number, clinging to a sliver of hope. The phone rang for a long time without an answer. I wondered if he was deliberately ignoring my calls.Remembering Mason's earlier revelation, I knew I needed more information. Since Jethro wasn't forthcoming, I had to find answers myself. I dialed Mason’s number despite it being the middle of the night. I couldn't contain my emotions any longer. I needed answers now, and fortunately, the call was quickly answered."Yo, do you know what time it is? Why are you calling me at this hour?" Mason said in a muffled and sleepy tone, cl

Last night, deep in thought, I realized I couldn’t endure the agony of betrayal. My love for Jethro was strong, yet the thought of him with another woman shattered me. I couldn’t accept a relationship marred by infidelity."Do you understand what you’re saying, Serena?" Jethro's eyes flared with anger."I know exactly what I'm saying. If there's another person in your life, staying with you is unthinkable. I’m a selfish woman. I can't bear the thought of you with another," I asserted firmly.I knew I wasn’t being open-minded. I also knew that separating from Jethro would mean a painful separation from Seren too, but I couldn’t bear the thought of the man I loved holding another woman in his arms every night. My heart was small and couldn't handle such a profound hurt."When did I ever say I have another woman? You didn’t even give me a chance to explain, and you want to leave me just like that?" Jethro’s tone was unusually stern as he looked into my eyes."An explanation? What’s m
