Nicole followed Emily's car carefully from a distance. He had parked his own car at the corner, far enough away that neither Emily nor Carl would notice him, but close enough for him to see everything that happened. His hands tightened around the steering wheel as he watched Emily knock three times on the side window of Carl's car before opening the door and getting inside. "What the fuck does she still want from this man?" Nicole's voice was barely above a whisper. He stared at the parked car ahead of him, his jaw tightening. Carl had betrayed Emily a thousand times over. He had broken her heart, humiliated her, and destroyed years of her life. Yet somehow, Emily was still here, going to him and giving him chances.

Who had made her believe, for years, that she was unworthy of love and somehow, after all that, Emily had looked at him and said she had decided to show him mercy, you see that was where the problem wa

The morning had been calm, and Carl had been walking near the window of his room, his attention divided between whatever was on his screen and the activity outside as his eyes flipped over.From his position, he had a clear view of the driveway. That was how he noticed Nicole, Emily, and Leslie preparing to leave. Carl initially paid little attention to them since he arrive here, afterall Emily had given him terms and conditions when he first arrived here. He had grown used to seeing Nicole around Emily and Leslie, but something about the scene that morning made him pause.Nicole approached the car first and opened the door for Emily.Carl's attention immediately shifted. Nicole did it naturally, almost effortlessly, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. He waited for Emily to enter before gently closing the door behind her.Then, before getting into the car, Nicole leaned toward her and pressed a kiss against her forehead.Carl froze. The gesture wasn't just simple, he'd d
