Chapter 141 Everything was shattered by what I had left Part1

As I walked away, the sounds of Michael and Betty's passionate encounter relentlessly invaded my ears, wild and intense.

I flung the door open without any attempt to muffle the sound, yet it was drowned out by their fervent lovemaking.

My steps and the opening of the door were unmasked and loud, but it didn't seem to disturb the frenzied intimacy between mother and son inside.

I glanced back one last time at the slightly ajar door, the sounds of their lovemaking echoing in my ears, all hope drained from me.

In the final moments before I stepped out, I pulled from my pocket the diamond ring I had bought for Betty, along with my promotion letter.

These were meant to be gifts for her, to at least celebrate our anniversary together.

But now, it all seemed pointless.

I left the ring and the letter on the shoe cabinet by the door.

Taking one last look at what used to be my home, I closed the door behind me, shutting out all sounds.

This place was no longer mine.
