"You feel so f**king good." a deep voice, one I knew all too well, grunted.
I watched my husband Daniel and my assistant Esme banging each other right on my table. My hands flew to my mouth as realization dawned on me, the shock from seeing and hearing them made me shift back, stumbling against the table, and I pushed the chair backward.
"Did you hear that?"
I quickly dodged and stepped back from the glass view.
"What?" Daniel hissed impatiently.
"I think I heard-" Esme trailed off, "Never mind, just hurry up already."
"No need to rush, there is still time before the b*tch lands." His statement was like a slap to my face, my ears were ringing.
"Really?"
"Yes, baby, a few more rounds for us."
"Once she's back, I can't have you." 
"I know, but it's just for a while, you know it's you I love, it's her money that's keeping me."
Their mixed chuckle ran across the room, traveled up my nerves, and made my heart sink to my stomach.

Divorced My Cheating Husband and Remarried My Rival

　　The door clicked closed as he left, it took me a few minutes before I went over to the door and bolted the locks into place. I heard retreating footsteps after I locked it.


　　They belonged to him, he waited for me to lock the door before he left, he wanted to be sure I was safe and secured, that single act of thoughtfulness warmed my heart.


　　I realized I was standing there longer than I expected, I turned and looked at the room, these walls heard all the confessions and expressions of feelings between me and him.


　　My eyes settled on the bed, the sheets twisted in the position where he lay down. The footprint at the foot of the frame showed where I sat, the distance between us was so short and we could have easily covered it.


　　I imagined how the bed would have looked if he hadn't stopped himself, I'm sure we would have been intertwined with each other's bodies by now. Left to me alone that was how the night would have ended.
