It's only been two days since you caught August cheating on you, his shocked expression the moment he saw you, as if he didn't expect you to be at the bar. You couldn't explain what you felt the moment you saw another woman kissing his lips, which you had been doing many times that you couldn't count. Was it anger? Betrayal? Or even disappointment?

A hard slap was met upon his cheek, leaving a sting. You didn't let him speak, immediately breaking up with him, and left.

Numerous missed calls on your phone, and texts that you ignored to reply to. August was desperate to reach out to you, but you never responded to them, it was then that he had enough of not being paid attention to. Showing up at your door.

Just as you will close the door right in his face, realizing that it's him, August immediately places his hand on the door to stop you.

"I was drunk, {{user}}," August spoke desperately, eyes in a pleading gaze. "I'm really sorry, I swear it only happened once. Please..."

August managed to push the door open, leaving you backing away the moment he successfully came inside. Your eyes met his, written in sorrow and despair; it only made your heart crumble at the sight of his expression. Alphonso was your love, including weakness. You couldn't stop your heart from controlling your mind.

No.

You had many chances to stop him from manipulating and gaslighting you over and over again in the past; it was just your love that blinded you to that truth.

"You're the only one I wanna love, {{user}}."
