May’s POVA tiny shiver went through me and I swallowed hard when I saw Asher, and it made me suddenly felt hot. This was how I always felt when I saw him anyway. All I had to do was be in the same room with him, that was all it took and I would feel like this, but the feeling disappeared when I saw the woman from the picture beside her.My already sore throat became even more painful than it already was. I could feel my throat heavy with a lump that formed there and I wanted to rub my eyes just to be sure I wasn’t dreaming or hallucinating.I never really couldn’t understand why he suddenly wanted a divorce when it wasn’t even thr three years as stated in the contract, yet.Could it be because of this woman? I shouldn’t even be questioning the reason. That was obviously why he wanted a divorce all so suddenly, finding fault in me and all I do, saying I was a good digger who was jobless and all.As I walked behind Brent; Asher’s best friend, towards them, I could see that there was a

Asher’s POVAs I lunged for her, my intention was to grab her, shake her, and tell her I didn't cheat. I wanted to let her know I wasn't a cheater, but I didn't expect what she did in response.May grabbed the cup that was on the table nearby, the one that was filled with water but must have been left there in a rush, and before I knew what was happening, she splashed the water across my face. I could see that she had regretted her action the moment she did that, because her eyes went huge in their socket.She was shocked by her action, just as I was also surprised she had done that, and I stared at her, anger ticking in my blood. What I wasn't sure of was who I was angry at, at all.Was it myself for letting things go this far? Was it her for emptying the contents of the glass cup against my face.I loved the banter between us because this was the first time she wasn’t trying to say she was sorry about something, or looking at me with pathetic eyes, so I was quite enjoying it until I

May’s POVI couldn’t believe what my mother said, but then again, I wouldn’t blame her. If I was in her shoes, maybe I would say the same thing.That was a fat lie, I wouldn’t tell my daughter to put up with her cheating husband, the one that didn’t respect her, or rate her at all. Aside from seeing her with that woman at the club, he had dragged me to some room to humiliate me.That was certainly not what I would tell my daughter at all.“Mom?” I called, giving her a look that should tell her I was confused. “How can you even say that?” I asked. “I just told you my husband cheated on me and that’s all you can say?”“Did you just explain that you didn't catch them doing anything?” she asked me.“Does that justify cheating then?” I asked right back instead of answering.“Don’t ask stupid questions you don’t want answers to, May. But since you ask that, let me answer you.” I watched my mother stood up from where she sat to come sit beside me. She picked up my left hand and held it in he

Asher’s POV“Where the hell is he?”That question was what woke me a week later, May was gone. That reminded me, that I still haven’t signed the divorce papers myself, but I would surely get around to it.I groaned as I opened my eyes, cursing softly when I realized that I hadn’t closed the curtains in my room. Turning around on the bed, I listened again to the voice I had heard from my sleep.For a moment, I heard nothing, l so I thought that perhaps, it had been a dream, but then I heard it again after a moment. “Where the hell is Asher?”At that, I knew who was looking for me.It was my mother. She was the only one out could be because no one dared yell in my house at all, talkless this early.What the hell was going on? Why was she here this early, and more importantly, why was she yelling like this? I would only have the answer when I saw her anyway, so I stood up from the bed and grabbed my sweatpants. I had slept naked last night, as I did most nights.When I had worn the sweat

May’s POV By the time I settled in my new apartment at the end of the week, I was so tired I wasn’t sure I could do anything more. I sat on my couch in my black leggings, black crop tank-top and white loose Supima material top.Right now, I felt like taking a shower and grabbing my computer to check my mails, but damn, I was tired. I haven’t been able to rest that much for a week now, all I could do was come back from work and continued with unpacking or buying stuff. This was the first time I was staying alone anyway, so I had a lot to buy.I heard the doorbell, just as I started to stand up to go grab some water in the kitchen. My apartment was on the second floor of the building I didn’t think I would be able to live on, and it came with an elevator and a doorbell. That was one of the things that attracted me to the place.It could only be Emily, at least, it was what I thought. She was the only one that could be there because she was the only one that knew I was here now. I hav
