Since then it has been none-stop arguments.

Shan claims I don't discuss the situation with her but she doesn't want to discuss anything like adults. Shan waah we back and forth like kids and as a big man me nah argue with my wife.

"I don't see her in the same light that I see you Shanique Munro-Grant and I've been trying to get you to understand that. Char cool yes but she can't size up with you nuh day." I kissed her neck again and she flinched.

She need fi stop fucking do that it a piss me off.

I squeezed my stress ball (aka Shan breast) and she shrieked.

"Ouch" she says and I rolled my eyes.

If yuh stop stress me out, me won't have to squeeze suh hard

"You a mi life. Weh yuh think that mean?" I asked, expecting and answer.

Silence.

"Answer the question."

"It nuh mean nothing." I squeezed her breast again and she jumped.

"Don't fucking tell me that. Yuh cya tell me seh the past two years a we life nuh mean nothing Shanique. Nuh tell Mi seh yuh nuh know seh mi willing fi sacrifice every fucking thing fi ensure your happiness. Mi nuh prove myself to you yet?" I seethed through gritted teeth.

I let go of her breast because I realize I was growing angry and I don't want to actually hurt her.

"No."

"No? How the fuck yuh mean no?" I asked, unable to contain my anger.

"End the deal with her and then it'll be enough." Shan says quietly and I really had to let that stew for a bit.

I picked her up from my lap and placed her on the couch. Shan a bloodclaat mad.

"End the deal mid-execution and face the possibility of crippling the business?" I asked.

Silence.

"End the contract mid-execution and possibly face closure of cryptic Shanique? The Cryptic that you built on the grounds of our pains? The Cryptic that you poured yourself into while at home we were fucking drowning? The multi-million dollar company that you build from scratch?" I asked her for clarity.

She was silent.

"No! Answer the bloodclaat question!" I yelled and she jumped in fright.

"Mi been a warn yuh bout yuh fucking impulsiveness! Go make that call. Call char right now as the owner and managing director of the company she signed to that we are terminating our contract!" I yelled again and she coward into the sofa corner.

"Mek every muma bloodclaat thing crumble to the grung nuh. Then yuh pay back Julian him money. Oh, the mortgage for the house nuh done pay off enuh. So yuh Affi go figure that shit out.

We just discuss a few months ago about buying a building for Cryptic Ja., that deh plan trash right?" I was pacing and listing off the possible domino effect of Shan's action.

"Weh yuh ago live when the bank come lock up the property? Rebecca nuh want yuh over her yard and yuh malice off yuh mother. Talk to me bout yuh plans nuh Shan when yuh mek yuh emotions fucking guide yuh?" I say getting in her face while she cried.

Her tears nah move me.

"Two fucking years me a try teach yuh. Two fucking years. Yuh do some fucked up shit and me low yuh and give yuh space fi grow cause mi seh, we a humans and we all make mistakes." I say getting out of her face and taking my seat on the far end of the couch.

I shook my head as my resolve set in.

"Mi nuh know how else fi love yuh fi mek it be enough. The issue was never Char. It could be any other random person that you felt I was being too open with. Yuh see me a openly fuck with someone outside of you and CJ and a this a the reaction?

Kill we fucking business because of jealousy? That no different than the shit Leah pulled with you and mi disappointed as fuck." I say, and her crying turned into sobs.

Shan got so used to having me to herself that I'm not sure who she has become.

"Mi cya do this nuh more. Do Wah yuh want fi do but I'm done." I say as tears welled up in my eyes. The implication of what I just said hitting me hard.

"What you mean? Done with what?" She asked while hiccuping.

Me cya look at her cause I know I'll fall for the pitiful look that she is sporting.

"Done Shanique. With this marriage, with the businesses. I'm out." I say in a choked voice and she started to wail.

"Stop lying." She screamed and I had to block out the noice.

My tears were blinding me so I aggressively wiped at my face.

I felt like my heart just got smashed to pieces.

What the fuck a gwaan?

"Dan!" Shan screamed at me and I looked at her.

"Stop lying. You can't be done. You're all I have." She said while fighting to breathe.

"Mi ago go back home. I think it's time I stop running from the inevitable. This house is paid for up to next year. I'll continue paying the mortgage for the house in Jamaica. You know that's yours, I'll get my stuff out by then end of the month. You still have access to all the accounts except my personal ones, and I'll keep it that way. If you need anything you have Creg's number." I say as I stood from the chair.

I attempted to go upstairs but I didn't make it that far. Shanique grabbed me and held on to me from the back forcing me to stand in the middle of the room.

"Yuh cya leave me just suh! Yuh cya do this to me Anderson." She cried and my heart literally stopped beating.

"Yuh cya leave." She cried.

I closed my eyes trying to fight the pain I was feeling inside. I felt weak.
