[Amanda]
My world came to a standstill and I was forcefully thrust five years back. The difference was that time I was not told about Dominic’s extramarital affair by the man himself and today he was outright telling me that he loved someone else. Without an ounce of regret or hesi

[Amanda]I ended up staying at his place. Dominic had this smug look on his face when I had begrudgingly agreed and taken up his offer. I hadn’t taken into account that after leaving this place, I simply couldn’t walk into the cafe and resume my work. My co-workers and Cassey would grill me to no end and I doubt whether or not I will have the job. I mean, I doubt they will keep someone who created such chaos on the very second day of their duty. My mood takes a sour turn.Even though the bed was soft and the room was way better than my beat up one, sleep still evaded me. I stared blankly at the ceiling. The soft night lamp created a mesh of shadow and lig
[Amanda]In 27 years of my life, I had only once imagined my name in the newspapers but as Dominic’s wife, his lady love. When he had started out, we imagined ourselves in the shoes of big stars. He is passionate about what he does and that is what got him his big break.

This was the last thing I wanted in my life after our divorce. For so long, I
[Amanda]If he was taken aback at first, now he was openly gaping at me. I felt smug about it although I didn’t let it show on my face. I took a careful bite from my toast, leaving Dominic to process my answer. Of all the things he was expecting, he
[Amanda]I heart thudded when those words tumbled out of his mouth. From friend to wife to ex-wife and now...a mistress. One month ago the thought of becoming involved with someone, my ex to be exact was something which I would have never thought of but here we are.
[Amanda]I was brought back from my little trip down the memory lane when I heard the scraping of the chair. I looked up to find Dominic looking a little more serious resuming his seat. He buried his face in his palms letting out a quiet groan. I opened to ask before I realised that I ha
[Amanda]I feel like a caged animal. Alex had left to do some work after some time, and I was left on my own devices. I can’t remember the last time I had this much time in my hand in the last five years. I was either doing a job or running around looking for a job, worrying abou
