Ten Strikes and You're Out
Tracie Conner has saved my mom's life before, so I've given her ten chances to make mistakes.
On the day of our engagement, Tracie fled the venue with her first love, Elton Stafford. I chose to forgive her.
On the day my mom gets discharged from the hospital, Tracie and Elton can be seen making out passionately with each other at the main entrance. I merely ignore them.
In the year after that, Tracie keeps making all sorts of mistakes because of Elton. But I treat her like the same and never take her behavior to heart.
That's why Tracie begins acting out of hand, thinking that I will always love her.
The tenth chance is used up when Tracie brings Elton to our marital home on our wedding day. When her best friend, Erica Frey, accidentally stumbles upon them during their deed, Tracie doesn't give a damn at all.
"Elton is my first love. What's wrong with us using this bedroom to get closure? Besides, Jonas loves me so much. Even if he sees me cheating on him, he'll forgive me."
I chuckle softly as I watch everything unfold from a corner.
Tracie has used up her tenth chance. Now, I no longer owe her anything.
