All Chapters of My Husband Wants An Open Marriage : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Harl’s Pov I couldn’t stay in, not when the walls felt like they were closing in on me.The truth had just gotten messy, Sarah was dead, an oversight on my part. Thinking less of Monica had been my first mistake. “Another,” I tapped on the table, signalling the bartender.“He is done,” I didn’t have to turn around, I already knew who it was. “What are you doing here, Darius?” I hissed.He gave me a look, his eyes softening slowly, “You called, knew I would find you here,” he replied. I ignored him, snatching the bottle from the counter as I made my way out. He was going to settle the bill, I know that. I didn’t have to think much about it. “What do you think you are doing?” his voice came from behind me. “Leaving?” I answered as if it were the most obvious thing to do.“You aren’t driving, eh hissed, snatching the keys from my hand. I wasn’t planning to. I was angry, not suicidal

Larissa’s PovThe morning came faster than I would have loved it to. My bones ached as I slowly tried to stand from the floor I had slept on. Between crying and thinking about the things I shouldn’t. I had fallen asleep on the floor carpet beside my bed.My bones ached as I stretched, but I knew the pain was only a consequence of my actions. I had been careless, too careless. “You should be more mindful,” I muttered to myself as I made it to the bathroom. I picked the paracetamol from a drug cabinet, I winced as I stared at the drug in my hand.A price I had to pay.“You have to start taking care of yourself,” I muttered. Maybe if I said it loud enough, I would start living right. I wasn’t just doing this for me anymore, I had a child to take care of. I needed to be more mindful.When I was done with the shower, and I finally felt slightly alive, I made my way downstairs, my hand rubbing my stomach, as I muffled a yawn.Downstairs was quiet, quieter than usual. The smell of alcohol w

Harl’s Pov“What are you doing here?” I hissed, staring at the woman I thought I wouldn’t see. I mean ever since she had returned, I had been anywhere but my home.“Can you stop being so dramatic? Shouldn’t I pay you a visit?” Monica said, settling in on the chair opposite mine. Her eyes scanned the room, and a small frown formed on her face. “So, this is where it all happens?” she hummed.I didn’t ask what she meant; I knew she was going to say it.“This is where the magic... or should I call it deception happens?” she hummed. “She doesn’t know, thinks that you are some low scrawny men, trying to make a name and what? Sleep with married sad women?” she clapped. “You know what, I will call this a genius plan, because I never would have thought that I would see something like this,”“Monica, what do you want?” I asked, trying to keep my voice low.She smiled, “Nothing much, just trying to be sure of where we are on the plan,” she said.The plan?“Well, Sarah is dead, and that means

Larissa’s PovThere are times when you walk away. And there are times when you say the words that break more than just a thought.“All you do is sleep around with anything willing to jump inside you,” I sneered. Silence stretched between us.“Your kids aren’t spared that knowledge. You could at least try to be a good mom if you can’t maintain a wife position. Divorce isn’t some skin care routine! Some of us have other things to consider! What the hell is wrong with you!” My voice cracked.Lennie stared at me with wide eyes, her hands trembling as she looked on. And me? The words had gone through so fast that my brain couldn’t keep up.And when it did. I moved forward, my hands reaching out to grab her, “Lennie, I... I didn’t....”“You did,” her tone low and final.“No...I... I didn’t mean it I was just...”Her head snapped up, her eyes meeting my gaze. I could see the sadness, the hurt of someone betrayed by her friend.“Isn’t that what you think of me?”“No...no I would...”She le

Larissa’s PovShe had walked away, but for some reason, I couldn’t bring myself to move. I couldn’t think past the fact that she was here. The woman Harl had left me for was here.I stared at the reception, watching the way she smiled at the nurse, they all acted differently around her, as if they were vying for her attention, happy to be around her. She laughed, leaning in to say something to the nurse.Her head turned slowly to where I was standing, and the nurse followed her gaze, whispering something back as they laughed. My heart beat skipped, what were they saying?Does she know me?Questions; I had a thousand of them, but standing here and pondering wasn’t going to help“I can’t stand here,” I muttered to myself as I rushed through the revolving doors. Whatever it is that they were talking about, I didn’t want to be a part of itOne fear stood out, the fact that she could tell Harl about this before I had the chance to tell him. She would ruin…what would he think? Will he be h
