DREAM

Chapter 6

For a minute I was too stunned to speak. I stared at my asshole of a husband with a dumbfounded expression.

"You're not going to allow her to decide on our relationship right?" Tears were fogging my vision and my knees were starting to get weak.

I could feel Alexis eyes burning through me. I could feel the happiness flowing through her venomous veins.

My mind went haywire when I faced her. I was fuming.

I stormed to where she stood calming the mini devil version of herself. To think our relationship was just being restored. I was wrong.

As always.

"This is all your fault." I sharply jabbed my perfectly manicured finger in her chest. "Why are you so set on coming between Benjamin and I ? Get the fuck over it. You're divorce for fucks sake."

She didn't seem at all bothered or taken aback by my abrupt episode. In fact, she stared right into my eyes looking at me as if I had gone insane.

She hoisted her son on her waist and spat.

"If Benjamin didn't want me around, he would've made that clear, no?"

I searched my brain for an answer. I couldn't. She had a point.

She started walking towards him to prove her argument. She stood next to him, their son in her arms.

A family, which I'm not part of.

I felt like a ton needles were endlessly picking at my heart. My chest was so heavy, I couldn't breathe. I had to get away. From him. From everyone.

I could feel their eyes on me as I let my feet lead me back into the house. I needed to leave.

I was so lost in thought that I failed to register that I made it up the stairs and into our bedroom. His bedroom.

I spotted the largest bag in the far corner of my closet. It was the bag my mom had gifted me on my 21th birthday. My very first Louis Vuitton item.

I grabbed as many clothing items and shoes that my shaking hands coud hold and dumb them in the bag. I hurriedly walked into the bathroom got everything I needed and placed them on top of the pile.

I changed into a pair of sweat pants and a loose top. I decided to keep the slides in as they were really comfortable.

I never would of thought that I'd live my marital home because of another woman. Much less Alexis.

It hurts so much. I want the pain to go away. I swallowed the massive lump in my throat but I failed. I released a shaky breathe and let the salty tears flow down my cheeks.

I grabbed the bag and let it down the stairs. Not wanting to run into anyone, I hurriedly walked to the front door.

I spotted my driver, Max leaning against the car. As soon as he sawe appraching him, he stood upright.

"Good Evening Madam, how may I be of service to you?" He asked, looking at my luggage.

"Hey Max, mind driving me to the beach house?"

"I'm sorry Madam, but sir hasn't given me any instruction to take you there."

I'm well acquainted with begging thanks to Benjamin.

"Please Max, I really need to get away from here." I didn't mean to start crying but I couldn't contain it.

His face wasn't hard anymore, his eyes held a hint of sympathy for me.

I didn't want him to feel pity for me.

He didn't ask anymore questions. He opened the door for me to enter, and I gratefully obeyed.
