Jessica still hadn't left the hotel, and she was in one of the hotel rooms. However, the room was different from the one used for the photo shoot with actor Matt Habrew. It was indeed a different room because this room was booked in the name of Noah Brooks, and indeed the room had been used by her husband since yesterday.
Two days ago, her husband told her that he would be going on a business trip for two days and one night. The man left yesterday morning, and he should go back home in the afternoon today.Jessica didn't ask the exact location of the business trip, but her husband just told her that he would be out of town for the trip. There was no suspicion at all in her heart. After all, her husband often went on business trips in the past, and that was why she didn't ask too much about his recent trips.She expected to see her husband again today after the trip was over, but she didn't expect to see him sooner. She also didn't expect to meet this man at THIS hotel.At this time, she was only with her husband in the room. Her husband was sitting on the messy bed, and she could also see her pink handbag on the bedside table not far from where the man was sitting.However, her attention had not been on her husband or her bag since she entered the room. Instead, she paid more attention to how the room smelled of sex. She was no longer a virgin, and sex was nothing new to her. That was why she could easily recognize the unusual scent in the room. The room smelled of sperm, and her heart raced as she imagined what had happened in the room last night."I saw your cell phone in your bag. You should check whether it still works or not," her husband broke the silence in the room as his gaze shifted to the pink bag on the table.Jessica glanced at the bag, but it was only for a moment before her gaze returned to her husband. "A broken cell phone can be repaired, but a broken heart is difficult to heal," she answered coldly.At first, Noah didn't seem to dare look at his wife, but after hearing what his wife had just said, he finally looked up at the woman standing in front of him. "I'm sorry," he said."What are you sorry for?" With the same cold tone as before, Jessica asked her husband. "Are you sorry you broke my phone or broke my heart?""..." This time, Noah didn't answer immediately, he even looked away from the woman.The room was enveloped in silence for a moment, but then Noah's deep voice came again, "His name is Tyler Edwards. He is my junior in college."It was a sudden introduction, and even though it seemed vague, Jessica could guess who her husband was talking about. "I know some of your good friends, but I've never heard of that name before," she answered."That's because he's not actually my friend," Noah responded to her cold words. "At that time, I was assigned to help the freshmen on their new days on campus, and he was one of the juniors under my tutelage. For some reason, I became close to him quickly, and we were inseparable at that time. Not only did I help him a lot, but he also helped me a lot even though he was younger than me. In short, we relied on each other at that time."Jessica could feel how an invisible hand that was clenching her heart exerted a stronger force on her heart, causing her to feel the pain in her chest even more. That was because she could guess the direction of her husband's story."We spent time together, we cared about each other, and in the end, we fell in love with each other," Noah continued, and Jessica almost cried when she heard the confession.She had been with her husband for three years. It was true that the two of them knew each other from their parents, but Jessica was confident that she knew everything about her husband.They dated for almost half a year before deciding to get married, and she always believed that that period was enough to know everything about the older man. They had known each other for almost four years, and Jessica believed her husband was a loyal man. He never paid attention to other women no matter how beautiful and sexy they were, and she felt relieved about that.She didn't expect her husband to never pay attention to other women because he actually liked men."So, you never loved me?" This time, Jessica immediately asked the question, and her husband finally looked at her again.Two pairs of eyes looked at each other while enveloped in silence, until finally, it was Noah who broke the contact while muttering, "I'm sorry."It wasn't "yes" or "no" to answer her question, but for Jessica, the apology was enough to answer her curiosity. Her heart was officially broken, and she couldn't even hold back the tears that rolled down her cheeks."Let's get a divorce," she finally said the words she never wanted to say before, and she couldn't even look at her husband this time."WHAT?" Noah was shocked, he even got up from his sitting position. He stood right in front of his wife while using his large hands to grasp her shoulders. "We can't get a divorce, Jess! No matter what happens, we can't get a divorce!"Hearing her husband's words, Jessica finally looked at him again, and she sneered as she pushed his big hands away from her shoulders. "Why not?" She asked coldly. "Why can't we get a divorce? Do you still need me, Mr. Brooks? Do you still need me to cover up your illicit relationship with your boyfriend?""Do you have any beer, bitch?""Can you not call me that? If you dare call me that, then you should call my mother 'the bitch's mother.' Do you want to do that?" Tammy lazily replied to Jessica's words, but she still got up from the sofa and walked towards her kitchen. "And it's still sunny outside. Are you sure you want to have a beer?" She added without looking at the older woman.Jessica didn't go straight home after returning from the hotel. She instead decided to seek refuge in Tammy's apartment, but it seemed like her assistant did not welcome her warmly.But Jessica probably didn't care even if the younger woman didn't warmly welcome her. She still considered that place as her home, and she could even casually sit on the carpet while leaning her tired back against the front of the sofa. It wasn't just her blonde hair that looked messy, even her face was messy, and maybe that was the reason Tammy didn't kick her out of her nest."Is there a label on the beer can that says I can'
Note: this chapter contains a flashback scene...."I won't hide anything from you anymore, and I will tell you everything," Noah finally opened his mouth after he could only remain silent because of Jessica's cornering questions. "To be honest, Tyler and I have been dating since we were in college. We loved each other, but unfortunately, my parents didn't let me be with him. That's because we're both men.""..." Jessica didn't say anything after hearing Noah's explanation.She didn't agree to listen to her husband's story, but she didn't plan to interrupt him either."Maybe it's my fault for coming out of the closet right after graduating from college," Noah continued even though he didn't get a response from Jessica. "At that time, I had hidden my true sexual orientation for years, and that's why I decided to tell my parents the truth. I even took Tyler to meet my parents that day, but things didn't go my way. After telling the truth to my parents, I received a hard slap from my f
"Well, that's the full story," Jessica finished with a tired sigh.She didn't look at her assistant, but she waited for her assistant to respond to her. However, the response didn't come immediately, and she frowned before turning to the younger woman. She could see how the woman stared at her blankly with her mouth wide open.In her eyes, the sight was rather disgusting that her frown deepened, but then she reached out towards the jar of peanuts on the coffee table in front of her, and she picked up one of the peanuts before stuffing it into her assistant's open mouth. She didn't even bother to peel the shell of the peanut for her assistant, and that's why her assistant immediately spat out the peanut."Do you want to kill me, Jessica Brooks?" Angrily, Tammy shouted at the older woman while throwing the peanut at the woman."I'm sick of that last name. I want to change it if I can," Jessica wasn't angry with how the younger woman dared to throw the peanut at her, instead she looked s
The next morning, Tammy stared blankly at the figure lying on her living room carpet. The room was so messy with a dozen beer cans, and even peanut shells scattered on the coffee table, sofa, and carpet as well.The room was very messy, and the one who should be responsible for the mess was the person lying on the carpet. Of course, Jessica wasn't the only one who downed twelve cans of beer last night. Tammy also drank with the blonde woman, but the one who was drunk last night was the blonde woman. That's why the blonde woman was causing chaos in the living room in her drunken state.Yesterday, Jessica even said she wanted to have genital surgery, but of course, that was just the blonde woman's nonsense and not really what she wanted to do.Tammy shook her head tiredly when she recalled all those bad memories, but then she used her foot to nudge the older woman's shoulder. She intended to wake the woman up, but the woman only groaned like a child before muttering, "Why are you kissin
Almost a week had passed since the incident at the hotel when Jessica found out that her husband was actually a dick and liked dicks. People said time would heal pain, but those days were not enough to heal the distress in her heart. The wound was still scarred in her heart, which was why she refused to see her husband's face after what happened between them nearly a week ago. Thankfully, there was still good news amidst the bad news she found at that time. The good news was that her father would be released from the hospital tomorrow. The doctor told her that her father's condition had improved during his nearly two weeks of hospitalization, and that was why he had let him rest at home to recover. Unfortunately, the doctor also warned Jessica to pay attention to her father's mood during the recovery period. That was the reason Jessica had to admit that Noah wasn't wrong in what he said at the hotel a week ago. They couldn't just divorce if Jessica didn't want to see her father in a
Button Boss was one of the biggest fashion companies in the US, and it was even well-known abroad in the last decade. This company had been around for half a century, and that was the reason why it had been able to gain the trust and love of the people. Button Boss specialized in men's fashion. They produced clothes, shoes, and even bags designed for men. However, unlike other brands in the same field, Button Boss was quite bold in its color choices. Other men's fashion brands mostly used dark colors for their products, but Button Boss often used bright colors for their products. That was why Jessica's wardrobe was full of her husband's colorful menswear, and her husband today wore one of his brightly colored suits. The purple plaid suit was nothing new in her eyes, and Jessica almost covered her face in embarrassment after confirming that it was indeed her husband who was wearing the suit. "What are you doing here?" Coldly, Jessica asked the brown-haired man. However, instead of
The fact that she had to work with her husband after an affair was already a disaster, and now she had to work with her husband's boyfriend too. If she could, she would just pull out every strand of her husband's hair from his scalp until he was bald. Let's see whether the guy will still be handsome or not if he is bald.She could actually do that, but she didn't mean to make a fuss at all. Instead of causing cheap drama in a packed restaurant, she simply signaled to her husband that they should order first, and that was why she raised her hand to call one of the waiters. However, she would probably spit out everything she swallowed if she ate in front of her husband and her husband's boyfriend, and that was why she only ordered drinks.The two men were shameless about ordering the most expensive menu. After all, the person who arranged the meeting was the one who had to pay, and that was why the responsibility lay with Jessica's company. She tried hard not to use the knife in front o
"Three of us?" Jessica was surprised and displeased to hear her husband's words. She was about to continue questioning the brown-haired man, but then a waiter arrived at their table to deliver their order. Jessica was forced to hold back her curiosity when the waiter placed their order on the table. She only ordered a drink when the two men sitting across from her ordered a nice meal, and her stomach suddenly made a sound of protest. Of course, her stomach didn't like when she could only look at the delicious food that didn't belong to her, but she tried to hold back her hunger while thanking the waiter. When the waiter left, Jessica could hear her husband talking to his boyfriend. “Oh, we forgot to tell the waiter not to put parsley in your soup. Now, I have to get the parsley out of your soup, right?” Noah asked his boyfriend in his deep yet gentle voice, and Jessica couldn't help but frown when she heard what he said. She could then see how her husband picked up his spoon befor
