Aiden spent the night in a hotel, getting drunk. He didn’t want to face Amara. He didn’t dare to. He just opened up his vulnerability to her. He lay on the bed, top 3 buttons of his once ironed shirt popped open, his tie loosened.
He sat back up and thought back to how she had admitted to her cheating. He felt his heart had been split open and mercilessly crushed.
He place his face in his hands and cried the whole night. He just wanted his old Amara back. The woman who loved him only.
Amara sat on the floor of the living room leaned against the wall and kept staring at the front door. Waiting for it to open and reveal Aiden. She waited and waited. He never came.
*The next morning*
Eli was getting ready to go to work. He had worked hard and partnered with his cousin and opened up his own small business. He provided security guards and body guards for prominent businesses.
“Eli, hurry up and have your breakfast.” Kylie called out for him.
