Chapter 2

Mackenzie's POV

Justin leaned against the kitchen counter watching me shuffle around

"Mommy!!" Layla called from a different room

"I'm in the kitchen baby"I called back

I heard her little feet patter on the wood flooring

I looked at Justin and smiled

As she walked in she didn't notice Justin in the corner of the kitchen she just came up to me and hugged my waist

I went down to her level and she looked at me confused as I turned her around when she saw Justin she basically jumped into his arms

"Hi baby girl" he said the biggest smile on his face

Layla buried her face into his neck and sobbed

"Aww baby what's wrong" he chuckled hugging her tighter

"I..I missed you so m..much" she hiccuped

"I missed you too Layla" he sighing contently

I grinned at the sight

She pulled Justin to some other part of the house probably to play in the back yard

Once they where out of range I hissed holding my back choking on my breath

I pulled down some pain relievers and took two waiting for the familiar pain to dull as it started to dull but never leave completely I stood up straighter taking in a big slow breath

I carried on to make dinner as usual

Justin's POV

"Can we play soccer, mommy doesn't play this with me" Layla says with puppy dog eyes

I frowned it wasn't like Mackenzie to turn down an active activity I mean she was a dancer

"Yeah,why doesn't mommy want to play soccer" I say picking up the ball kicking the ball to her

"She says her back feels icky " Layla shrugged kicking it back

As we kick the ball back and forth I think about what my wife isn't telling me

"Guys dinners ready" Kenzie calls while drying her hands

Layla giggles and runs inside as I follow behind

I look at my wife as she walks she seems skinnier then I last saw her but it's kinda hard to tell due to her unusually baggy clothes

When we sit down to eat Layla talks about her day while my gaze switches between her and Kenzie I notice her kind of shifting in her seat slightly trying to find an okay position 

After dinner I took Layla up to bed and read her a book tucking her in and made my way to the room I shared I with Kenzie

As I walked in the bathroom door was locked and the room had an unreadable silence

I knocked on the door softly and Kenzie hummed in response while opening the door

I pressed my lips to hers as she now leaned on the bathroom counter i lifted her onto the counter not breaking the kiss my hands roaming her body as I go to lift up her shirt she swats my hands away

"What's wrong" I say in confusion

"Nothing nothing" she smiling pecking my lips hopping off the counter not giving me a good explanation

I decided to drop it and get some rest

As I laid with her in my arms that night I couldn't help but think of what she doesn't want me to know

~~~Next morning~~~

Mackenzie's POV

As I made coffee Layla sat on the counter I tried to keep myself together for the sake of my family but inside I was dying

~~~Flashback last night~~~

As Justin breath slowed and his small snores filled the room I stared at his chiseled jaw tracing it with my index finger

I placed my palm on his cheek

"Sel babe stop" he whined a grin on his face his eyes still closed

~~~End of flashback~~~

My stomach churned and my heart ached with every beat just knowing that the rumors that tmz and every other site was right

What was wrong with me why wasn't I enough for him why does this keep happening

We're married and he still does this

What does she have that I don't

"Morning babe" Justin said kissing my cheek

I feel like I want to throw up from all this lying

I'm too far into this now I can't leave him we have a daughter together this would tear our family apart

"Hey" I said

"My plane arrives in an hour so We need to head out now" he said

I nodded I could see his eyebrows furrow together confused

"What?! I don't want you to go" Layla said jumping off the counter latching onto Justin's leg

"Baby I have to go back to work" he said picking her up

"NO!! I want you stay mommy wants you to stay" she said pointing at me

But I didn't look up I continued to stir my coffee slowly looking at the granite counter top

I could feel Justin's gaze on me I knew he knew something was wrong we've known each other 11 years if he didn't know I would be worried

"I know Layla but I will be back soon I promise maybe mommy can take you to one of my shows next week" Justin said

She pouted and nodded sadly knowing that's the best she was going to get

"Layla baby please go pick out what your going to wear" I said my eyes never leaving the counter as I take a sip of my coffee

When Layla left the room Justin sighed

"What did I do this time" he said slightly annoyed

I stayed silent

"Kenzie" he said laying a hand on my shoulder

I shook his hand off my shoulder

"I don't know why don't you ask sel" I said bitterly walking out of the room leaving him speechless.
