Chapter 16
We returned to Dante’s residence. Unlike us, we were sleeping in separate rooms this time. I was missing him. However, I recognized that sharing a bed was no longer an option for us
The following morning. I awoke to the sound of giggles in the living room. I glanced down from upstairs, where I was reading a magazine, to meet with Dante and Candice I was feeling unwell, so I returned to my room. Since I returned from the hospital, I have not felt well. I walked into the bathroom to shower. Prior to heading to work, I needed to go somewhere.
When I returned to work following my appointment, I was forced to make a decision. I am aware that this is a rash action, but it is necessary, I met with the human resources department to iron out the details. My eyes were on my laptop when I returned to my office. I’m not sure if this was the best decision for me at this point. However, it was
necessary.
I drove home normally, but I had to return to Dante’s house because I was still married to him. I pulled into a parking space and was greeted by his mother,
“How are you doing, child? Why are you so pale? Have you eaten anything?” She said this as she snatched my bag
from me.
“Yes, mother, I’ve just changed my foundation,” I said.
We entered through the front door. Dante and Candice were engrossed in their television viewing. I ascended to finish the task that had been left unfinished since I had an early appointment. I got myself a glass of orange juice and stepped out onto the porch to do my work. When I opened my laptop, an email from the agency I hired greeted
- me.
Greetings, Mrs. Monroe.
I wanted to let you know that the property has been sold as a result of your inquiry. Currently, I’m scouting the area in search of the one you are looking for. It will take me approximately a week or two to get what you seek. Please let me know which of the six images I have provided is your favorite and which one is your least favorite. I eagerly
await your response.
I grinned at the agent’s news. Once I resumed work, I began adding stuff to my basket online, and once everything was organized, I’d know where to ship the products.
After everything, I have been significantly behind on several things in my department since I was in the hospital. While I was working, Candice and Dante entered the room, hand in hand. I greeted them with a grin and shut down my laptop.
“Today, Lola, you have been distant. Are you feeling alright?” Candice inquired.
“Candie, I am very sorry. I’m swamped with work, having gone a week without working.”
“You are aware that you can always seek my assistance, right?” She claimed.

Chapter 16
“Trust me, I’m in desperate need of destruction right now. Thus, what are your intentions? I am able to remain married to your man. You are aware of this, right?”
I noticed that her expression seemed worried. One thing I am certain of is that Candice will not wed Thante. She is still in the mood to play. However, I cannot continue to play Wifey for the remainder of my years while the dogs with him. It is illogical. She must select what she desires. There is very little left to say about myself and Dante. We ceased to be friends the day we crossed the line.
“Well, we’ll discuss it later, but for now, you remain Mrs. Monroe” She chuckled.
“Well, it appears that you are having an affair with my husband, Missy, We both burst out laughing
“For the time being. I’m going to take a shower, Candice remarked.
Now, it’s just Dante and me. He sat opposite me on one of the chairs.
“Are you feeling well, Mrs. Monroe?”
“There’s no doubt about it. Are you well? How was your day at work?”
“Not bad, Lola. You look…” After a brief pause, he began assessing my features. I grabbed my laptop and diverted my attention away from him in order to avoid looking at him until he discovered any flaws.
“How long has it been since you ate?”
“Not much longer.”
“Put an end to your deceptions, Lola. You haven’t eaten anything, as far as I can tell.”
He went inside to bring me a meal. He began feeding me. Personally, I find it hard to believe. When I passed by the kitchen, the aroma was revolting, but now that Dante was feeding me, it tasted fantastic.
“Are you mad at me, Lola?”
This is one subject I’ve been trying to avoid discussing with him. I let out a sigh.
“Are you aware we cannot continue discussing it? If you want to forget about something, stop discussing it. You are happy with Candice, and that is all that matters.”
“How come it didn’t feel like a mistake? It just felt perfect. I have no idea what is wrong with Lola.”
To be honest, it felt the same to me. Well, I know the reason, but I won’t tell him. He is under no obligation to know. He is happy with Candice, and she is happy with him.
