— You don’t want to explain anything to me? — the man I once loved beyond reason growls irritably.
— Explain what exactly? — I answer him in kind. — Didn’t you cheat on me?
— I was going to tell you about my wife. And in everything else I was honest—unlike you!
I stare at him, completely stunned by this ridiculous accusation.
— Don’t look at me like that! I saw it! I saw the recording with my own eyes, where you’re having fun in a VIP booth at a nightclub!
— What?! I… I’ve never… — I choke. His vile words make it hard to breathe.
— No excuses, — he cuts me off. — I need an answer about the children. Are they mine?
Once, I was in love and truly happy. But one betrayal turned love into a searing wound, burning everything inside down to emptiness. I kept telling myself I’d forgotten him, but I was wrong… first love can’t be crossed out—it stays forever.
